I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 155-2: Daring Escape Operation, Direct Vision Association President (2)

[Do you wish to swear the oath to Omniscient True Knowledge?]

Lin Xun smiled slightly.

Who was the Omniscient True Knowledge?

That was his own backer. Not to mention that Omniscient True Knowledge was already in slumber, even if awake, this great being stood firmly on his side.

[You crossed your hands over your chest and sincerely swore to Omniscient True Knowledge that you would not harm the Grand Scholar’s life after he revealed the valuable secret.]

[Hearing your solemn vow, the Grand Scholar finally relaxed. As the carriage gently bumped along, he began to speak…]

[The President of the Multivision Association sending his Grand Scholars to confront the Abyss directly is no secret. As a fellow Grand Scholar, you likely participated in these abyss expeditions to obtain demon Shells for the President.]

[But you surely don’t know the true purpose of these demon Shells!]

[In truth, the Multivision President has secretly betrayed the Omniscient True Knowledge and is secretly pursuing the Radiant Stars. The President intends to transplant the eyes of starborn beings into the Abyss Demons’ Shells to create what he believes is a path to godhood.]

[Little does he know, this so-called path to godhood is completely false. Following this method, he will never even reach demigod, let alone godhood.][The Direct Vision President only happened to reveal this information to him by chance.]

[Having finished, the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar looked at you proudly, waiting for your shocked reaction…]

“That’s it?”

Lin Xun twitched his lips, his expression full of disdain as if saying, are you kidding me?

[You shook your head in disappointment and pulled out the Abyss Demon Completion Project (Document), showing that you already knew everything.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar stared at the document in disbelief, his lips trembling, speechless.]

[You raised your hand, and the two Stored Spell Treasure Rings on your fingers began to glow faintly. Beside you, the Battle Angel – Valkyrie also drew her bow…]

[You threatened him, stating that the secret he provided was worthless. Even if you killed him now, it wouldn’t violate your earlier oath.]

[If he couldn’t offer something truly valuable in exchange for his life, he would have only himself to blame for what happened next!]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar repeatedly begged for mercy, his expression twisting. After a long hesitation, he finally stammered out another secret.]

[Actually, the Direct Vision Association President isn’t dead yet, but is very close to death…]

[Just yesterday, a newly emerged Veiled Aberration Overlord suddenly attacked the Direct Vision Association, tearing through its defensive barriers like they were nothing.]

[The scholars and Grand Scholars of the association all poured out to resist the Overlord’s assault.]

[Unlike the others, who foolishly threw themselves at the monster, he knew how terrifying the Veiled Aberration Overlord truly was. Fleeing was the only hope for survival.]

[He was about to abandon his dignity and escape when the President forced him to step forward and fight.]

[The Overlord was indeed as terrifying as rumored!]

[Grand Scholars of equal rank were devoured one by one like candy. Even the once mighty President was powerless against it. The entire association building was reduced to rubble.]

[He and the President were both buried under the ruins. Fortunately, while the President was gravely wounded and incapacitated, he had not used his full strength in the battle, allowing him to remain in relatively good condition.]

[Protected by his Knowledge Barrier, the two hid beneath the rubble for an entire night… until you appeared.]

[You couldn’t help but wonder, since both were trapped under the ruins, how was it that only he managed to escape and board your carriage?]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar saw your doubts, forced a smile, and explained. The President had completely lost the ability to move. As an old man with little strength, if he tried to carry the President while fleeing, they would both end up devoured like candy.]

[The President remained trapped beneath the ruins, barely sustaining a Knowledge Barrier with his last strength. But his injuries were so severe that he wouldn’t last much longer.]

[According to his estimate, if the President survived until midnight tonight, it would already be a feat of willpower…]

[He will draw a map marking the President’s location for you. If the Veiled Aberration Overlord has not yet returned to the Direct Vision Association to continue devouring corpses, you’ll be able to obtain the President’s powerful equipment.]

[That equipment is far more valuable than his life.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar sighed regretfully, admitting that since the President is buried under the ruins, the behemoth may not discover him.]

[He originally planned to wait until it was safe before returning to the ruins himself to claim the President’s belongings. But to save his own life now, he was forced to reveal this priceless secret to you.]

[Greedy Apostle, what is your next move?]

[1. Have the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar mark the President’s location, then kill the Grand Scholar.]

[2. Bring the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar along with you to the Direct Vision Association Ruins.]

[3. Return to the Multivision Association, then bring both Grand Scholar Rona and this Grand Scholar back to the Direct Vision Association Ruins.]

[4. Wait until midnight when the Direct Vision Association President naturally dies, then consider returning to the ruins.]

Lin Xun wasn’t afraid of dying in the game. What he couldn’t accept was dying for nothing with no gains.

If he could trade a bit of soul strength for the President’s Shell, he would accept it without hesitation.

What he needed to consider now was… should he return to the ruins immediately and take down the Direct Vision President to seize his Shell?

No matter what creature it was, its speed while hunting was always far greater than its usual pace.

Perhaps the behemoth hadn’t yet returned to the Direct Vision Association Ruins.

If he changed his destination immediately, he might make it in time to carry out his kill-and-loot operation before the behemoth returned.

After some thought, Lin Xun pressed the second option, bringing the Grand Scholar with him back!

[The Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar was about to borrow paper and pen from the Battle Angel – Valkyrie to draw the President’s location…]

[You raised your hand to stop him and ordered the brass carriage to return to the Direct Vision Association Ruins.]

[He panicked, quickly advising you to wait until tomorrow morning to return alone. By then, the President would surely be completely dead.]

[If you brought him along now and happened to encounter the Veiled Aberration Overlord…]

[You lifted your hand, and the glow from your Stored Spell Treasure Rings made the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Association Grand Scholar promptly shut his mouth.]

[After a brief silence, he began nagging again, warning that since the President was not yet dead, you might pay a high price if he counterattacked before dying…]

[He also argued that if you were in such a rush for the equipment, there was no need to bring him along. He could swear to Omniscient True Knowledge that the location he marked would be accurate and not deceive you.]

[You narrowed your eyes. The Battle Angel – Valkyrie drew her bow, aiming at his incessant mouth, forcing him to fall silent once more.]

Lin Xun anxiously hoped the carriage would return to the Direct Vision Association quickly.

Five minutes of waiting felt excruciatingly long.

“Once I get the Shell, I’ll go straight to Bennett and trade for a normal carriage!”

While he waited nervously, the text finally advanced.

[The carriage slowly stopped. The door opened automatically, and you stepped out…]

[In the pale mist, the refined copper fence gate was twisted and collapsed, rubble and shattered bricks covered the ground. The once grand buildings within the walls now stood as vague, enormous ruins in the mist.]

[Above the ruins, the massive figure of the Veiled Aberration Overlord revealed a small part of itself through the mist, you still could not see its full form…]

[The sound of chewing came from the mist; the monster appeared to be devouring the corpses of scholars scattered among the ruins.]

[After each corpse was consumed, it paused for quite some time to digest.]

[Though you couldn’t see its full body, you knew that with every feeding and digestion, its terrifying power continued to grow!]

“Damn it, this thing is back again!”

There was no need to speak of the Veiled Aberration Overlord’s strength. To approach the Direct Vision President under its nose now would be suicide.

“If I just turn back now, but the behemoth finds the President’s body in the ruins, I’ll lose any chance of getting that Shell…”

Lin Xun frowned deeply, pondering his next move.

His gaze shifted once more to the Brass Whistle in his inventory.

“Three-Headed Lion… sorry about this!”
