Chapter 154: The Dangerous Heretics Treatment Authority

The team shivered, repeating Tang Erda's words in a trance, "No one knows what monsters are in there ......"

"I'm going to go down now, don't let the rest of the team follow me down yet, it's a restricted area down there and it's dangerous for them to follow me." Tang Erda finished, took a plastic-wrapped cigarette out of her breast pocket, took one out and lit it.

The scarlet smoke flickered, and Tang Erda's dark blue eyes looked fierce and aggressive in the nicotine smoke: "Seal the rising lift before I kill him, and don't let anyone up."

"If I am killed by him, then simply seal the lift and never let him leave the base to go outside, and if Bai six disappears into the base out of thin air, surround the address I left for you, and the moment Bai six reappears, make sure you kill him, at all costs."

With his orders completed, Tang Erda headed deeper into the earth, alone.

----------

Meanwhile, at the other end.

As the monsters were methodically taken in by the team, the strong, strange smell from the monsters cleared from the air, revealing the original coldness of the base.

Mu Sicheng sniffed, frowned and looked in one direction, "I smell an underwhelming scent."

"Is that the Captain Tang who said he was going to hunt Bai Liu down?" Liu Jiayi instantly understood what Mu Sicheng meant.

"The smell's getting stronger, a very nose rattling smell of smoke." Mu Sicheng waved it in front of his nose in disgust, "He seems to be heading somewhere."

Liu Jiayi quickly made up his mind: "We'll follow him! He is responsible for pursuing Bai Liu and should know where he is!"

Shortly after Tang Erda went down in the lift, Liu Jiayi's group turned quickly around the corner, and they watched Tang Erda descend all the way down - to the 10th floor - and Mu Sicheng couldn't help but spit out, "Is this thing that deep?"

Liu Jiayi swiped Su Yang's work card twice, but it did not respond.

This made her realise something quickly: " Bai Liu is really down here and this guy went down to kill him! This lift should have been locked to prevent Bai Liu from coming up."

"Of course there is another possibility." Liu Jiayi raised Su Yang's work permit in his hand and looked up at Mu Sicheng and Muke, "We've been found out, and this work permit is locked."

Meanwhile, the team member who had been watching the surveillance was urgently reporting to Tang Erda: "Team Tang! The other three intruder heretics are right behind you! They seem to be trying to follow you down, but we've locked the lift and they can't get down with their Captain Su badges, so we're calling in patrols to arrest them. ......"

"No need." Tang Erda's indifferent voice interrupted the team's report, "Unlock the lift and have them swipe Su Yang's work pass to come down."

The team was stunned: "But Team Tang, they had guns on them and there were three of them ......"

Tang Erda, gun in both hands, walked steadily through the darkness, only her eyes glowing with hysteria, on the verge of madness, but her tone was incredibly calm: "With Bai six, there are only five monsters, and it's not like I haven't killed them before."

The team member flinched and asked rhetorically, "Five monsters, no, there are only four humanoid heretics, who is the other one?"

"Don't unlock the lift until I've killed all the monsters, including myself." He said.

The players stood up in shock: " Team Tang! Team Tang! What are you talking about!"

" Team Tang! It's not just heretics down there! There's also a regular cop in the restricted area somehow! Team Tang!!!"

But the communicator over there was silent.

Mu Sicheng and his group, who were at the door of the lift and trying to figure out what to do, noticed that the lift, which had been locked, slowly rose up again and opened before them of its own accord, as if inviting them.

"Wow." Liu Jiayi raised an eyebrow, "Looks like this Captain Tang is pretty tough, inviting our whole crew down with him, can be, very confident in his abilities."

She turned to Mu Sicheng and Muke and tilted her head questioningly towards the open lift doors, "So do you dare to go down? It's most likely him down there waiting to ambush us."

Mu Sicheng didn't say anything, he rubbed his elbow and took his gun in his hand and led the way into the lift, followed by Muke.

Liu Jiayi was the last to enter the lift, she turned and pressed the -10 button, gathering all expression on her face: "It seems we agree on this point."

The lift door slowly closes and plunges rapidly towards the ground.

---------- --

-10th floor, base exclusion zone.

Much of this level of the base is unlit, a deep, bottomless darkness, for the heretics in this place are like creatures from the bottom of the sea.

They are full of unknown dangers, much of the information in the file, such as weaknesses are not exact, they are also odd looking and do not like sunlight, too much bright light makes them restless, and because of this unknown danger their rooms are tailor made and it is very difficult to get out.

But even so, Tang Erda came down and saw several rooms that had been opened.

His back teeth clenched as he alertly bounced around the floor with his gun raised.

This level, because of the almost total darkness, relies on familiarity with the map to be able to move quickly in it.

However, only a few detachment leaders and some reappointed detachment members know the map of this floor, and the lift to the ground floor must be swiped with the permission of the detachment vice-captain or above.

Tang Erda can't imagine how Bai six managed to come down, still in a dark corridor, and in just a few minutes Bai six managed to find the spooky room of the Heretic [0001].

But the man always has a way.

When Bai six wants to do something, even if the whole world is against him, this guy will do it successfully.

But why did he go to this room?

It's not as if Tang Erda hadn't explored this room in all the timelines he'd been through, but in every one of them, he hadn't found the answer.

The only one who knew what was in this room was the leader of the first detachment called [the prophet], one of the founders of this base.

But this captain has gone tragically mad and committed suicide in almost every timeline Tang Erda has appeared in.

Before committing suicide, this captain would destroy the files in this room and leave a message.

Never open it, it hides the most horrible truth that will drive all who witness it into madness, let me be the last of its madness, the last string that suspends your sanity and your future]

The captain is called [the prophet] because, like Tang Erda now, he can predict the most dangerous things that will happen, and because of this, the captain has a very high level of authority at the base.

After his death, he left this authority to Tang Erda, who knew nothing at the time.

At the time Tang Erda was still a regular captain who had not yet gone back in time, but this captain said that only Tang Erda could carry on what he was going to do and could continue to lead the base in removing the dangerous heresy that was about to emerge.

He prophesied that Tang Erda had the power to eradicate the greatest and most dangerous heresies, and that the most horrible heresies were associated with the number six.

And when Tang Erda retraces his steps across the timeline and possesses millions of memories from other timelines, he really does have the ability to "predict" the appearance of extremely dangerous heretics in advance, as the captain predicted.

Tang Erda started to be called the "little prophet" by the other players, but Tang Erda knew that he was no "prophet".

He was just a hunter who had gone through it all and nothing had changed, who had incompetently retraced the timeline time and time again.

And the true prophet predicted his arrival, bestowing upon him a right and a responsibility that Tang Erda, a hunter on the verge of madness, simply could not bear.

The Prophet's prophecies have never been wrong, and all the team members at the base are convinced by the Prophet who has saved them countless times.

Since then, the room has been an invisible room on the base and no one has tried to explore the secrets of its interior.

Tang Erda, on the other hand, has become the person with the highest authority in the base.

But as time passed, Tang Erda's unstable mental state and the slowly eroding authority of the long-dead legendary captain began to change the players.

They became distrustful of Tang Erda and questioned whether Tang Erda could really have such a high level of authority, whether he was abusing his power and just doing what he wanted to do.

The capture [of the Living Heretic], which Tang Erda had ordered by force, began to send everything spiralling out of control, with the team's suspicions and doubts completely exploding.

--If even the living can be captured as heretics, has the existence of such authority begun to change from protection to slaughter?

Can this supreme authority really be possessed by a [person] who is full of feelings and desires and who makes all kinds of mistakes?

Only [God] can have this kind of access.

The captain of the first detachment was rumoured to be like a god, without selfish desires, never making mistakes, admired by all and loved by all as a god-like captain.

Unfortunately, this [god] went mad in the end and he committed suicide.

All the players already had a vague sense that Tang Erda, the successor chosen by [God], was also vaguely on the verge of going mad and committing suicide - as if this was the doomed fate of these heretical, near-godlike humans who had seen more of the heresy for real.

The team's silent acquiescence to Tang Erda's suicide to take away all heresy was like acquiescence to a fate he had long been destined for - a fate from the hunters.

[Hunter] is a [Divine Identity Card] in Werewolf Kill, whose destiny is to take away the evil fellow the seer tells him is most likely to be [Wolf] on the field before his own death.

The hunter takes the silver gun engraved with a rose and heads for his destined end.
