Chapter 79: Return!
Chapter 79: Return!
In a lush green valley, a hundred miles away from Migran Town.
A modernized military base lay quietly hidden here, concealed by the surrounding vegetation.
Several fully armed patrol soldiers, weapon s in hand and murderous intent on their faces, were patrolling strictly.
Although it could not be said to be completely leak-proof, they had achieved a terrifying level of security, with one person every five steps and a guard every ten steps!
This was the base of the Scythe organization, which had recently risen internationally!
In the center of this base, atop a wooden house that looked like a high tower, Wei Ziqing stood in a white robe, looking down at the entire base!
Beside him was Yinsen, who was too lazy to hide in the laboratory and study technology with Little Nine.
Yet even now, as Yinsen looked at this scene, it felt like a dream.
Back then, how could he have believed that Wei Ziqing could actually achieve this?
In just two years, he had controlled more than half of the terrorists in the country and developed Scythe into an existence that was famous even internationally!
Not only that, since Scythe had grown, all the people within their controlled areas had begun to live lives of happiness they had never experienced before!
This was a scene that Yinsen had never dared to hope for!
And now, it was displayed nakedly before his eyes!
Suddenly, a member of the Scythe Base ran up quickly. He stopped in front of Wei Ziqing, stood straight, gave a military salute, and said righteously, “Report to the Death God, the items have been placed in the designated position. Please give your instructions!”
For Scythe to survive in this world, it had to have absolute rules, and militarization was inevitable!
The so-called Death God was the highest executor of Scythe!
Hearing this, Wei Ziqing nodded indifferently, “I know, you may leave!”
Looking at the departing Scythe member, a complex expression suddenly flashed across Yinsen’s face. As Wei Ziqing’s friend, he naturally knew exactly what that soldier had gone to do.
He said somewhat helplessly, “Ziqing, are you really leaving?”
“Yes!” Wei Ziqing nodded.
Three years had passed, and there were less than 24 hours remaining before the time to return to reality. He had to go back. As for the task he had assigned to the soldier just now, it was simply to bring a box of gold and diamonds worth about 1.2 billion dollars!
Although these assets cost the Scythe Base a significant amount, it did not touch their core strength. Therefore, Wei Ziqing was not afraid that Scythe would completely collapse because of his departure.
“Once I leave, I do not know how long it will be before I return. You are the Yama of Scythe; while I am away, you are the sole controller. You do not need to worry about handling things poorly; you can simply leave them to the Judge and others. They will not disobey your orders!”
Within Scythe, the highest executor was the Death God, followed by Yama, and below them were three law enforcers: Judge, Meng Po, and Evil Ghost!
When the Death God was absent, Yama had absolute control, and no one dared to resist. This was somewhat similar to Hydra; after all, the punishments of Scythe were certainly not weaker than those of Hydra!
“I know. During this time, you also had Little Nine create a set of artificial intelligence. With it here, the base should have no problems. But you… how long will it take for you to return after you leave this time?”
This was what Yinsen really wanted to ask. Wei Ziqing had not given him a precise date, which made him feel uneasy. If he truly never came back or did not appear for decades, Yinsen definitely could not control Scythe alone!
For no other reason than the fact that he lacked the deterrent power of the Death God!
Hearing this, a hint of confusion appeared in Wei Ziqing’s eyes.
A few years? To be honest, he did not know!
If possible, the next time he entered the Marvel world, the time should be controlled within five years.
But this depended on one premise: that these Marvel worlds were not independent and could be linked to Iron Man. That was the key!
If they could not be…
Then, his life would be very difficult!
Unless his identity as an Anywhere Door user could reach a certain level; then, perhaps, he would return!
Therefore, hearing Yinsen’s words, Wei Qing fell silent. After a long time, he said softly, “I don’t know. Perhaps one or two years, perhaps five or ten, or it is possible I will never return!”
“This…” Hearing this, a black line appeared on Yinsen’s forehead. Wasn’t this the same as saying nothing at all?
“Forget it, then when are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow at noon!”
“Alright!” Hearing this, Yinsen nodded, then added, “I will keep an eye on Scythe for you!”
“Mm!”
…
The next day, as it approached noon, Wei Ziqing said goodbye to Yinsen, packed Little Nine, and headed several dozen miles away from the Scythe Base.
Did he need to tell the members of the Scythe Base that he was leaving?
That was unnecessary!
As the Death God, he did not need to explain anything to them!
As for how they would react when they discovered he was gone, he did not need to worry about that. Although Yinsen was a scientist, he was certainly not stupid; he would naturally explain it in a way that would convince them all!
Using Lightness Skill all the way, he headed toward the return point he had previously chosen.
He soon arrived at a small stream and found two boxes, one large and one small, placed under the grass by the Scythe members.
These were the gold and diamonds!
“If this gold and diamonds are converted to cash in reality, they should be worth at least three billion US dollars. I no longer have to worry about my own development.”
As for how to convert such a large sum of wealth into cash, Wei Ziqing was not very worried. He naturally had his channels, although he really did not want to use them!
“The time should be almost here, right?” He checked the time; it was close to the return point.
Just as this thought arose, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the entire sky instantly became dim.
Looking up, there was a distortion in the sky. An ancient door quickly turned from phantom to reality, descending rapidly toward him, then standing still in front of him.
Taking a deep breath and carrying the gold, diamonds, and Little Nine, Wei Ziqing opened the Anywhere Door and stepped onto the road back!
…
“Finally, I’m back!” Looking at the familiar room and tossing the boxes aside casually, Wei Ziqing let out a heavy breath.
Unlike the previous few returns, he felt much more relaxed this time.
“Perhaps it is because there were not too many people or things in the Iron Man world that made me feel attached!” Although this reason was a bit forced, it made sense.
Just as Wei Ziqing said this, the voice of the System suddenly broke the silence:
“Congratulations to the Host for traversing three worlds. Identity upgraded, please check…”
