My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 326 - 322: A Person’s Name, a Tree’s Shadow

Chapter 326: Chapter 322: A Person’s Name, a Tree’s Shadow

"Whew..."

Zhou Yu looked at Sakai Tetsuya with a hint of gratitude, but his tone carried a trace of regret: "I owe you my life!"

The first assassin to appear was incredibly experienced, without the slightest killing intent on him, and hidden in Zhou Yu’s blind spot. At the moment of crisis, he didn’t even have time to activate [Electric Fire Stone].

If it weren’t for Sakai Tetsuya’s quick reaction behind him, blocking that knife, Zhou Yu would probably have died on the spot.

Careless!

"No need to thank me, I don’t even know how many times you’ve saved me."

Sakai Tetsuya said weakly, "If we survive this... I really need to fight against Nippon!"

"Those deadweights sitting on their high horses, they’re not qualified to be in those positions."

"They lack skill, lack courage, and they lack prestige; they simply can’t manage this country properly!"

"The golden area in the city center went into chaos like this... truly pathetic!"

In the short span of five days, Sakai Tetsuya and Zhou Yu went through countless battles together, picking up bits of each other’s speech habits, like the three-word curses from the Other Shore’s country.

In the heat of life-and-death combat, Sakai Tetsuya and Zhou Yu built an invisible yet real companionship.

Otherwise, with Sakai Tetsuya’s character, he would never have instinctively rushed out to ensure Zhou Yu’s well-being with his own hands.

Sakai laughed with effort, "Moreover, compared to an ordinary B-level Superpower User like me, in such a killing scenario, an A+ Level Ability User like you can play a noticeably greater role, right?"

"I can get hurt, even disabled, but you can’t!"

"You must remain unharmed and maintain full combat power to properly coordinate with Ogata Shitou."

"Only then will we have a chance to return alive and report the situation here to Lord Profound Immortal."

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, nodded, and turned to look at Ogata Shitou next to him: "Before I came to Jie City, I felt something was off and specifically asked you. Didn’t you say this sort of thing never happened before?"

Ogata Shitou didn’t look happy.

While commanding the Shikigami to withstand the bombardment, he said, "I didn’t expect they’d dare to play such tricks in the city."

"It’s my mistake."

"I was too confident!"

Strictly speaking, this was the first full cooperation between the Profound Immortal’s Left Arm and Right Arm, and Jie City was considered Ogata Shitou’s home ground.

The severity of this error meant he had to take responsibility.

Thinking of this, Ogata Shitou said angrily, "Once the Profound Immortal Team truly has full control over this island, firearms must be strictly regulated!"

There was another point that Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu didn’t mention, but both were acutely aware of.

There was a traitor.

Otherwise, as the Profound Immortal’s Left Arm and Right Arm, they wouldn’t have been caught so helplessly.

Firearms are powerful, that much is acknowledged.

Even though they fall apart into scrap metal when dealing with most Alien Influences, they still pose a significant threat to Superpower Users like them.

"Ultimately, it’s because we’re too weak,"

Zhou Yu closed his eyes tightly: "If we had the skill to casually create Class A Radiation Domain Fields like the Prophet Ma Ran, we could steamroll through and be undefeated!"

The words were true, but he knew well that while weaklings have thousands of reasons for failure, strong individuals have even more ways to break through situations.

Even based on the Prophet’s performance in the Civilization Guardian: Eternal Expedition game, Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou realized that Ma Ran, without the ability to incapacitate technological equipment, still had countless ways to break through predicaments.

Moreover, for such strong beings, flawless without any vulnerability, an ambush like today’s would never have existed!

Except for the now incapacitated Sakai Tetsuya, only Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu were left in Jie City among the Profound Immortal Team members.

They struggled desperately in the siege, holding on with all their might.

Time ticked away, second by second.

The sun set, and darkness enveloped the earth.

Those who should have arrived in time to maintain order seemed blinded and deaf, seeing nothing and turning a blind eye to all that was happening.

Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu finally faced a desperate situation!

Exhausted in body, their Spiritual Power depleted, over ten Shikigami shattered, and Superpower Erosion clung to them like a curse, leaving Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu completely unable to resist.

Their enemies, taken individually, were weaklings that could be crushed easily.

But this group, united and well-prepared, with concentrated firepower, had turned quantity into quality.

"We’re going to die."

Ogata Shitou said with a bitter expression, his tone faint: "If I had another chance... I wouldn’t be so soft-hearted."

He had a rough idea in his mind of who was the traitor, who was loyal, and who wavered in their stance.

However, he always held onto some hope, believing that while one should be merciless against enemies, those who had contributed should be treated more leniently.

It now seemed that his leniency was a form of weakness.

"No need for a do-over."

Zhou Yu sneered: "A real man isn’t afraid to die!"

"Those enemies will be killed by our leader."

"Our families will be cared for and given preferential treatment by the leader."

"Do you have regrets?"

"Not me!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a clap of thunder resounded, tearing through the sky and shattering the night.

The earth was bathed in a pale white light from the lightning.

The scattered electric light gradually condensed, shaped itself, transforming into a slim young man in a blue suit, sporting a slicked-back haircut and wearing black contact lenses, appearing before everyone.

Although not in the legendary purple suit, yet...

Changing the color doesn’t make Zhao Guanlan any less Zhao Guanlan, right?

The gunfire and explosions that seemed like they would go on forever ceased abruptly.

The faces of their ambushers turned ghostly pale, their bodies trembling.

The leader of the besieging team, Terauchi Yuuji, saw the figure and the self-assured smile quickly faded from his face. His heart sank, and his eyes were filled with shadows, like someone who had just suffered the loss of his parents.

"Pro... Profound Immortal!"

Terauchi Yuuji’s legs trembled slightly, his face blanched, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead: "It was supposed to be... controllable... damn it!"

The weight of a name, the aspect of a tree!

Everyone knew their own limits, and just how strong Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan was; they all had an idea.

Even with the advantages of numbers, equipment, and environment on their side, they could only besiege Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou at most.

But to oppose Zhao Guanlan was like lighting a lamp in a toilet—seeking death!

In reality, even if it were against the seemingly Upper-Rank National Guardian-level [Prophet] Ma Ran and [God] Gray, Terauchi Yuuji wouldn’t feel as fearful as he did now.

[Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan...

This person was different!

It wasn’t just a matter of strength or how strong he was.

His infamy, his ruthless methods, his cruelty, his fierceness, his cold-heartedness...

All of these left Terauchi Yuuji with not an ounce of courage to face a "Profound Immortal."
