A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 217: After the Disaster

Yuwen Ba felt a slight sense of regret, then gathered his thoughts, his gaze heavy as it fell on Kaz’s corpse.

The corpse of an Extraordinary is, likewise, an extremely terrifying weapon.

Especially for a high-sequence Extraordinary like Kaz.

"The other prisoners are all but dead, even the other Grand High Priest of the Abyssal Ascetic Association, Dominic, has been blasted to a cripple and is now detained, controlling him has been achieved. Yet Kaz, who escaped, ended up in this state."

Yuwen Ba cautiously approached.

Blood Qi formed a transparent film over his body surface.

He drove away the red-eyed giant rats, carefully inspecting Kaz’s incomplete corpse.

"Completely dead, the time should be no more than two hours."

"The cause of death was widespread necrosis of body cells, organ failure, severe blood loss, Qi exhaustion... The backlash of the Demon God Beast, coupled with the power of the Annihilation Cannon, having such injuries is not surprising."

Yuwen Ba repeatedly checked several times, even took out a lot of gadgets from his body, and finally confirmed Kaz was indeed dead.

"Are you sure he won’t come back to life?"

Baiyu felt uneasy.

The Abyssal Ascetic Association is like an unkillable cockroach that might make a comeback at any time, playing with various resurrections in a flashy way, making it impossible to guard against.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, and wanting to resurrect, even a Divine Spirit would find it difficult to achieve."

"Kaz had a method to change bodies, more so by shedding his spirit, spirituality, thinking, etc., to transfer in a special way onto another body. This method is complex, and the process tedious, requiring a great cost. Even so, it bears a massive risk; if half a part of spirituality is damaged, it may be entirely lost."

Yuwen Ba explained with a smile: "For an Extraordinary to control spirituality is much like how we Martial Artists control Blood Qi, it is extremely sensitive. If a mistake is made, it will have serious consequences. Kaz dared to play like this because he was prepared in advance, and he was in good enough condition.

But now.

Being directly hit by the Legendary Ship’s main cannon, not dying on the spot is already a miracle."

Nonetheless.

Yuwen Ba was clearly somewhat worried and took out a few more tools to repeatedly confirm Kaz’s corpse, "No abnormal situation, let’s wait and see for now, it’s prudent not to move this body for such an Extraordinary."

Just like that.

A half hour passed, and An Ruyi and Lin Qingsong, leading a group of professionals, arrived at the chamber.

Professional personnel.

Are naturally those specifically tasked with handling high-sequence Extraordinary corpses, responsible for checking and destroying them.

Compared to the complex inspection methods used by Yuwen Ba earlier, this group of people was clearly more professional, using all sorts of instruments, including a specialized flesh component analysis.

In the end.

The professional team reached a conclusion similar to Yuwen Ba’s.

It is indeed Kaz’s corpse, and it is completely dead.

There is not a trace of consciousness remaining.

Though the ending was quite dramatic, this matter indeed ended in such a way.

Who would have thought Kaz would die beneath the mice? He probably cast the Devouring Fog along the way to fend off the rat swarm.

After all, he was severely injured and couldn’t sustain himself; dying like this, though unexpected, is yet quite reasonable.

Afterwards, it was about handling the entire chamber.

Then transporting Kaz’s body.

Next was the search and investigation of the sewers, striving not to miss a detail.

Yuwen Ba was methodical, and his arrangements were extremely thorough, those he brought from Maple Leaf County were elite in every aspect, taking less than two days to quell the entire chaos in Linjiang.

With the Simulation Realm fully shattered, the restoration of electricity, and unimpeded signals.

Order was re-established in the city.

The desolate city began to regain vitality, and everything gradually returned to normal. Of course, many were unsure how many lay buried beneath.

In a rough estimate.

The whole of Linjiang City saw over a hundred thousand casualties due to this incident, and the economic losses were incalculable, especially with Hades Prison being damaged.

There were three S Level fugitives, ten A Level fugitives, missing during this turmoil.

No body was found.

It’s unclear if they truly escaped.

The events in Linjiang quickly spread across the nation, and the Imperial showed no intention of hiding it, even held a memorial service, mourning for the sacrificed populace.

The Imperial Grand Marshal, along with several Princes, personally conducted the memorial ceremony, extremely solemn and dignified.

This disaster, was named the "Black Moon Incident" by the people.

The Black Moon on the fifteenth was originally an obscure ancient Divine Spirit not widely known, belonging to those of a relatively secretive existence.

But Kaz allowed the populace to re-recognize the terror of Divine Spirits, as well as imprint the name "Black Moon on the fifteenth".

Just a Divine Spirit being utilized, without conscious awareness, is so terrifying.

What kind of mighty existence would a true Divine Spirit be?

Most inexplicably was the Church of the Seven Gods, as disaster reports emerged, the number of believers surged once again, truly inexplicable.

...

Three days later.

Linjiang City, City Cemetery.

Jiang Gan, with striking white hair, stood at the front of the line, impeccably dressed in a black suit. He solemnly placed a bouquet of flowers at the tombstone.

Behind him.

Was the representative delegation from all of Linjiang City’s schools.

Linjiang First Middle School, Linjiang Second Middle School, Pinghong Middle School, etc., all sent representatives, at least at the deputy principal level, to lay flowers for the deceased.

Then, it was the student groups.

Baiyu, Qian Xue, Lan Ziyue, Jiang Xi stood at the front, with a large number of students behind them.

The process of worshiping and offering flowers was very quiet.

No one whispered.

The entire occasion was solemn and dignified, like a heavy black veil shrouding the heart.

The sacrifice of this incident far exceeded expectations.

Many acquaintances in daily life had already become a cold photo, pasted on the tombstone.

Dong Chunsheng, Xu Jin, Feng Yuan...

"The deceased have gone, the living must be strong."

Tang Xiaoyu drew a sacred mark of the God of Mechanics and Steam on her chest, beginning to pray for them.

Baiyu walked to the side.

Jiang Xi stood beside him, cold as always, with no discernible expression. It was Lan Ziyue, not far away, with reddened eyes, clearly having cried severely.

Several of her close friends had died in this Black Moon Incident.

The cause of death was a mutation in one of them.

"In this situation, she probably needs someone to comfort her." Jiang Xi suggested following Baiyu’s line of sight.

"In the adult world, one must learn to bear alone. Pain is a remedy that spurs one to move forward." Baiyu withdrew his gaze, his tone also very calm.

In his past life as a corporate slave, he had a naturally strong mental endurance. Although he had never encountered such a scene, he quickly adapted.

"Where is Yue Zian?"

Baiyu suddenly realized Yue Zian’s absence these past days, unable to contact him either, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Probably dead. Since the disaster erupted, I haven’t seen him; so many have died, it’s hard to feel all the grief. Yet, I’m more curious about how you resolved this matter."

Jiang Xi tilted her head, blinking her large eyes, filled with curiosity.
