Chapter 950: Re-encounter

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

As the fierce red tint of the Blood Sensing slowly disappeared from Sheyan's field of vision, he heaved a long breath. He held four Bloody Invitation Letters at the moment, making him the ultimate Boss of this Bloody World. He stood out so much during the Blood Sensing that it was impossible for the rest of the participants to not see him even if they wanted to.

But, he kept the Galaxy in his hands and refused to complete the transaction, thus forcing the MIB to mobilise a large army to defend the place. To be honest, although the participants were strong, they had yet to reach the point where they could simply ignore the official army. In addition, Sheyan and Aziz were also hiding inside, ready to attack any moment. The combination of these two forces were not something to be taken lightly. It wasn't surprising that no one had dared to challenge them.

Sheyan and Aziz both heaved a sigh of relief after the Blood Sensing ended. Their tense muscles instantly relaxed as they fell down on a sofa.

Although a battle didn't occur, they were constantly on edge the whole time. Their nerves were strung tight like a fully drawn bow. It was fine if the bow was released immediately after being drawn, but when it was kept drawn the whole time, it was very draining.

The two men persisted until the end of the long Blood Sensing and instantly felt an feeling of fatigue wash over them. It was not a physical fatigue but rather a mental one. Sheyan picked up the coffee that had turned cold and took a greedy sip, letting the bitter taste spread through his body. He then closed his eyes and rested for a while before exclaiming:

"It's finally over."

Although Aziz was still sitting straight, he couldn't help but take a sip of the water and said with a low voice:

"We should return right away after a short rest! The sooner we return, the better! I don't know why, but in this Bloody World, I keep having an ominous feeling, like there's a knife on my back!"

Sheyan narrowed his eyes. He did not speak, but the strange figure of the Cardinal appeared in his mind. It was the first time he saw a person who grew their own flesh into a coat. It felt so unreal.

Aziz took out some bullets and started to engrave something on them. Sheyan could feel mana fluctuating on the bullets. This seemed to be Aziz's secret strengthening spell. The two rested in the room for a while to restore themselves to their optimum state.

Sheyan looked at Aziz and said:

"Let's go."

Aziz nodded and pointed at the map:

"There are two return points remaining - No.17 subway station in Brooklyn and the 11th floor of the Morgan Financial Center on 37th street in Manhattan. The rest of the return points have been faded. Which one should we choose?"

Sheyan smiled bitterly:

"I think I should go to the 11th floor of the Morgan Financial Center on 37th street in Manhattan."

Aziz frowned and asked:

"Why?"

Sheyan kept his bitter smile and said:

"Because in my notification, the No.17 subway station in Brooklyn was faded too, so I have no choice! And did you notice that the return conditions have changed?"

Aziz wondered:

"What's the change?"

Sheyan narrowed his eyes as he said:

"The original rule was: the process to transfer back to the nightmare realm will take five minutes, and the person being transmitted cannot perform any action during that time. If the person is interrupted, the person will have to wait for an hour before they can start the transfer process again. Your rule should be the same as mine, right?

Aziz nodded:

"Yes."

Sheyan's expression was calm, but an intense fear had gripped his heart:

"But my current rule is: I can return to the realm immediately after reaching the return point!"

Aziz's expression turned solemn!

Their reactions may seem rather odd. The difficulty of returning to the realm appeared to have greatly reduced, so why were they unhappy? That's because they both knew that even though the difficulty of returning to the realm was reduced, it did not mean that the difficulty of the Golden Side Mission was reduced!

The fact that the realm had suddenly reduced the difficulty of returning to such a low level could only mean that they would face obstacles beyond their imagination along the way! In order to balance the difficulty rating of the entire mission, the realm could only reduce the difficulty in returning.

"Maybe we can act separately?" Sheyan suddenly said, "You head to No.17 subway station in Brooklyn, while I go to 37th Street in Manhattan? If we do this, maybe we can divide the enemy's forces?"

However, Aziz did not approve of this plan because he was someone who liked to hold success or failure in his own hands. If they went their separate ways and Sheyan happened to fail, Aziz would fail too through no fault of his own. It was something he could not tolerate.

After thinking for a long time, they felt that they should scout the situation out first. With the help of the MIB, they slipped out of the headquarters and mixed into the bustling New York crowd. They were surprised to find nothing out of the ordinary after two hours on the streets.

A bizarre feeling surged inside them. All this while, the two of them once again had their nerves strung high like a tight bowstring. Sheyan couldn't help but gnash his teeth as he said:

"So they're waiting for us to go to them! The opponents know that I can only return to the realm through the Morgan Financial Center on the 37th Street in Manhattan, so they have no intention of wasting their energy to look for us. There's no way around it; we can only give it our best shot!"

Aziz nodded gloomily. He saw a BMW Z4 convertible beside him so he jumped in and made the car start without much effort. He seemed to be very familiar with this kind of work.

Under Aziz's control, the BMW Z4 travelled at an alarming speed through the long traffic of New York thanks to its outstanding horsepower. The red lights along the way were completely ignored. They had some close shaves where they brushed past other vehicles with merely inches between them; there was an elegance in the craziness.

The other vehicles avoided them like the plague. A few police cars chased after the BMW in anger, but the performance of their vehicles and driving skills were far inferior, and they were soon left in the dust.

Aziz quickly drove them two kilometers within the vicinity of their destination, from where the twin buildings of the Morgan Financial Center could be seen. By the time Aziz stopped the car, the tires were spewing smoke and there was a smell of burnt rubber coming from them.

Aziz took a deep breath and said:

"Let's go."

They continued to stride forward, but when they were within a kilometer from the Morgan Financial Center, their bodies shook at the same time! They found that their spirits were contaminated by something, like an insect that flew into an invisible cobweb! The cobweb was soft and sticky, but full of hidden murderous intent!

The next second, a warm feeling akin to the sunshine in spring washed over them like a wave. It made one them extremely lazy and content, to the point where they didn't feel like lifting a finger. This instantly put them on high alert.

"They're coming!"

This may sound a bit strange, but although they were attacked, because they were mentally prepared for it, it was actually a relief.

Suddenly, both Sheyan and Aziz felt a burning sensation from the left side of their body like the feeling of sunburn from a scorching summer sun.

They turned around simultaneously and saw a tall man slowly walking over from a sidewalk hundreds of meters away. He wore a suit, a tie, a pair of sunglasses, a pair of brown Berluti leather shoes, diamond earrings, and had cropped-cut hair. His exquisite sense of fashion was apparent in its elegance.

This person's face and eyes felt very familiar to Sheyan! He turned out to be the strange creature born from the huge underground reproductive system - the Cardinal! Sheyan did not expect him to make an appearance with this kind of image!

"You're finally here, heretics!" Besides the usual ruthlessness in the Cardinal's eyes, there was actually a trace of cruelty and excitement! Perhaps he regarded being forced to flee in such a pathetic manner thanks to Sheyan and Aziz as the humiliation of his life.

"God's guidance was right. We finally meet again!"

Sheyan and Aziz had long prepared themselves for battle. When Sheyan saw that the opponent was the Cardinal, he was secretly relieved. This was understandable because anyone who faced an enemy that they had defeated before would feel a bit of psychological superiority.

Aziz had already disappeared silently; no one knew where he'd gone. On the other hand, Sheyan took large steps towards the Cardinal! The Cardinal merely stood there waiting for him with a sneer on his face. Then, he suddenly raised his hands in worship!

"O lowly sinners, tremble under the glory of God! God is omnipresent; God is omniscient. Confess to the sins you have committed throughout your life!"
