Abyss Sequence-Chapter 391 - 48: Walter Gack

The tentacles of the Abyssal Believers have spread into every aspect of Blue Star Society, entangled intricately with the United Government, making it impossible for even the United Government to fully eradicate this organization.

As long as they want, there’s nothing on Blue Star that they can’t uncover!

Even though Wu Zechuan and his team tried their best to stay hidden while performing the nanomachine extraction surgery for Yulia, the Abyssal Believers still discovered a flaw.

Yan Luo has publicly declared his intent to eliminate the Abyssal Believers more than once, holding things they covet and striking at their operations multiple times, causing them losses, making him a thorn in their side.

Crimson No.2 is Yan Luo’s stronghold, one of the few places where the Abyssal Believers can’t extend their reach.

However, through some clues, the Abyssal Believers could figure out what was happening inside Crimson No.2.

Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova is the strongest person on Blue Star publicly, and her residing at Crimson No.2 recently is something many people are aware of.

According to Yulia herself, she is striving to ascend to Sequence One.

Compared to Blue Star, Alfheim has more disaster-level demons, where she can find many prey.

Yulia, who should have gone with Yan Luo and the others to hunt disaster-level demons in Alfheim, was absent during the last operation. While Yan Luo and the others went to Alfheim, she stayed at Crimson No.2, doing unknown things.

The Abyssal Believers, by investigating the surgical materials of the Scarlet No. 2 Hospital, black market logistics records, and hospital ward usage, reached a conclusion that puzzled even them—

Yulia, the "strongest woman in the world", had her Engraving extracted.

It’s not replacing her internal Engraving; she simply had it extracted.

Because the number of nanomachines required for Engraving did not change, it means that after Yulia extracted her Engraving, she did not replace it with a new one.

Meanwhile, Wu Zechuan also did some minor things.

He ostensibly went to visit his fiancée in Lingquan City, but the Abyssal Believers’ gathered data suggests a significant probability that Wu Zechuan also underwent the Engraving extraction surgery.

Why did both Yulia and Wu Zechuan undergo Engraving extraction surgeries?

And after the surgery, they didn’t put on a new Engraving but just left it alone?

Not that the Abyssal Believers lack brilliant minds; Helena could connect the dots about what happened to Yulia and Wu Zechuan, they would quickly deduce.

The Abyssal Believers have people in every industry. They know Alfheim possesses many books documenting human affairs, and considering ancient Engravers couldn’t have used nanomachines for their Engravings, they realized Yulia and Wu Zechuan were abandoning the modern Engraving method for the ancient Engravers’ practices.

Although the Abyssal Believers couldn’t figure out what the ancient Engravers’ practices were, just knowing that Yulia and Wu Zechuan extracted their internal nanomachines was enough.

At this moment, these two are at their most vulnerable!

Now is the best time to kill Yulia and Wu Zechuan.

With Yan Luo not at Crimson No.2 and Yulia and Wu Zechuan’s powers at rock bottom, they shouldn’t recover quickly.

Striking at them now would eliminate them at the smallest cost.

The issue is, there’s still a Second Rank elf under Sasa’s command at Crimson No.2 who might assist upon her orders.

Therefore, they could only choose between Yulia and Wu Zechuan as their target.

As for why not send two teams simultaneously after both Wu Zechuan and Yulia...

That’s obviously because the Abyssal Believers couldn’t arrange that many people into Crimson No.2.

They don’t know the extent of Yulia and Wu Zechuan’s recovery, and the safest way to kill them would be to dispatch a Second Rank elite.

However, among the Abyssal Believers, there is only one Second Rank elite with a clean identity.

Hence, they could only choose between Yulia and Wu Zechuan as their target.

So, who should they choose?

......

"Walter Gack?"

The soldier at the city gate checkpoint looked at the elderly man in the armored vehicle, scanning him with an Engraving scanner, "An Engraver?"

Walter Gack smiled, nodded, "I was a Hunter when I was young, but not very skilled. Now that I’m old and unsure how much time I left, I wanted to fulfill one of my youthful dreams."

"I always admired Ms. Bilukova when I was young, but I never had the chance to meet her, so I decided to come see her. If I could get a signature, that would be even better."

The soldier nodded in agreement.

Ever since Yulia appeared at Crimson No.2, some people came just to meet her under her reputation, for nothing else but to see this lady in person.

So Walter’s reason wasn’t unusual.

"Ms. Bilukova does indeed stay at Crimson No.2, but she’s gone out rarely lately. If you want to see her, you might need some luck," the soldier kindly advised Walter.

Walter laughed aloud, "After all, I’m old and no longer as impatient as when I was young; just getting to meet Ms. Bilukova is enough for me."

The checkpoint let Walter through, and he drove his armored vehicle into Crimson No.2.

After leaving the checkpoint, the smile faded from Walter’s face, and he lightly tapped the steering wheel.

Walter Gack, a member of the Abyssal Believer Watcher Sect, was orphaned during the lost decade due to rampant demons, and raised by the leader at his side.

He is the leader’s closest person and also a beneficiary of the Saint’s Blood.

Walter Gack briefly became a Hunter after growing up, but at his ’father’s’ request, he left the Hunter profession and became a merchant instead.

For the subsequent decades, Walter has been active in the surface society as a merchant.

Because of his superpower that automatically absorbs Magic Power, his strength has grown continuously.

After decades of development, he now has the strength of a Second Rank specialist.

Although he only has eight Engravings, he is still a Sequence Two.

Moreover, Walter’s identity is clean; even if someone investigates, there’s nothing of substance to find.

During these decades, he has always been a merchant without acting under the identity of an Abyssal Believer.

There were originally a few people like him, but they all died. Only Walter remains.

After decades of hiding, the moment to use him has finally arrived!

Walter has always been very grateful to his foster father. If it weren’t for him, he would have perished in the jaws of demons.

And now, the time has come to repay his foster father for saving and raising him!

Walter took a deep breath, suppressing his superfluous emotions.

He must not dwell on those matters; until ready to act, he must carry on in Crimson No.2 as a "Yulia admirer"—any excess emotions would reveal flaws.

Even with Wu Zechuan and others on guard against Abyssal Believers, they won’t uncover Walter’s true identity and intentions.

Even though Walter hasn’t engaged in battle personally for years, long forgetting the skill of it, his strength as a Sequence Two remains.

No battle tactics required; possessing strong enough power to simply crush Yulia is all that’s needed.

This time, Walter’s target at Crimson No.2 is Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova, the strongest engraver on Blue Star.

She’s the strongest engraver on Blue Star and stands with Yan Luo, opposing their interests; this alone stirs Walter’s resolve to kill.

This group knows nothing yet constantly obstructs their actions, and they must be eradicated!

Now, he can only kill Yulia, but her death is substantial enough to serve as a warning to others.

Walter stayed at a hotel as his usual practice, and subsequently, set off to the "Bilukova Support Club’s" offline meeting point.

He intended to gather useful information from Yulia’s fans for better ambushing her.

Walter knew he wasn’t strong; he only had the capability for "one strike."

If he couldn’t kill Yulia in one hit, subsequent attempts would be virtually impossible.

Hence, he needed to be completely prepared!
