I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 464 - 101: Knight-Errant

With Old Jin's guarantee, Yun You finally felt assured.

In fact, what the little girl feared the most was not the Floating Island crashing down from the sky.

As an Apprentice Death God, unless she was directly under the island when it fell, she wouldn't be in any life-threatening danger in such a disaster.

What Yun You was afraid of was that the situation would escalate so much that even Old Jin couldn't cover for her.

But now it seemed like she might have been overthinking things.

Although this highly esteemed mentor never liked to stir up trouble, if anything threatened the safety of his student, he would abandon all the formalities and set aside the unimportant rules.

Yun You didn't know who Old Jin would send to help her, but since her mentor had spoken, she didn't need to worry too much.

So, the little girl greeted everyone present, instructed them not to panic, and then closed her eyes to rest. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

She had only managed to sleep for a short ten minutes in such exhaustion, which was far from enough.

She needed to regain her strength a bit more.

Originally, the survivors on the island didn't really believe Yun You had any backup plans.

With such a massive event as the Floating Island's fall, how could a teenager like Yun You handle it?

According to the usual style of the Nest City Council, when such a serious "prison break" event occurs, to quell the anger and panic of the populace, and simultaneously cover up their own embezzlement of the funds for purchasing the Floating Island engines by replacing them with inferior goods discarded from battlefields, the Council would likely find some scapegoats.

And these survivors on the island were the perfect fall guys.

They had long been stripped of their human rights, and in the eyes of Nest City's civilians, they were heinous criminals, perfectly suitable to bear the blame for the "destruction of the island."

So even if they survived the impact in a few dozen minutes, they wouldn't escape the new chains from the Nest City Council and the prison area managers.

At that time, they would either be shot on sight or have their sentences increased and then thrown into other Floating Island Prisons.

Therefore, from the start, the survivors didn't believe there would be a good outcome for them.

Even the guards of Yuanbao and Mokaka thought this way.

But seeing Yun You so calm, without a trace of panic, they began to suspect that perhaps this little girl really had some powerful backup plan.

So, amid anxiety and expectation, people gradually quieted down, waiting for the fall to occur.

...

In the surveillance room on the 17th floor of the district police station at Desert Prison, area 11.

At this moment, heavy rain was pouring down over the desolate prison area.

Inside the surveillance room, Officer Akun was leaning lazily against the monitors, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a phone in the other, casually browsing short videos. His gaze rarely settled on the screens, only occasionally glancing over as if fulfilling his duty.

Akun was born into a family of police officers. Though there wasn't much money in the family, being in the police for generations had accumulated a network and influence.

So, with some family maneuvering, Akun, not yet 25, had already become the chief of the monitoring department at Desert Prison.

But to be honest, this godforsaken place wasn't a great post; there were no perks to be had, the work was quite heavy, and it required constant vigilance against threats to the Floating Island and monitoring the vicinity within a hundred miles, submitting dozens of reports daily.

Other than for adding a bit of glitter to his police career, there was nothing appealing about the job.

And precisely because of this, to say something inappropriate, Akun actually quite enjoyed weather disasters.

When it rained or there was a thunderstorm, he had a legitimate excuse to slack off, and didn't even need to write reports.

After all, a lightning storm was an "act of God," and even if something unexpected happened, it wasn't his responsibility.

Just a moment ago, he received a "warning letter" on Ethernet, sent by someone named Yuanbao or something, claiming that the Floating Island was out of control and plummeting at a speed of one kilometer per minute.

To be honest, Akun didn't believe it at all, as the Floating Island management group received similar information too often.

Some were pranks, others were threats, and some were just absurd hoaxes.

Faced with such information, these managers would listen patiently, nod respectfully, hang up the phone politely, and then... toss the matter aside.

A massive island equipped with several warship-grade engines and held by space elevators couldn't possibly just collapse.

They didn't believe such a thing could happen, it sounded far-fetched.

With this mindset, Akun put down his coffee, planning to turn off the monitor in front of him and then call over the new junior officer for some "bonding."

He had always been intrigued by the junior officer's body, but unfortunately, the young officer was upright and never willing to comply with him, let alone bend for money or opportunities.

However, Akun wasn't bothered; rather, he found it intriguingly fun.

Being a police officer in Nest City, one would initially have a sense of justice and pursuit.

When they realized that there was no need to save this rotten world, they would abandon their ideals and obediently fall in line.

But just as Akun lifted his head, ready to use his voice to turn off the monitor...
