Chapter 485: Judgement
"Here, I have drawn out a map of the Slums."
Sitting on the floor, Xavier tapped at the massive, three-metre long pencil-drawn map. Supremely detailed with individual homes and structures labelled, it appeared half complete.
"I drew it myself."
Dasha had his arms crossed, his eyes scanning the map. "The Cult of Serpents HQ is on the far west. I see that the further away from the Great Wall we get, the more spaced out the buildings and areas become. Less suspicion. Less people to see them."
The Slums themselves were located south-west of the Dark Tower. Due to the Great Wall, the Dark Tower was no longer in view. Here, the people could only whisper of its greatness; of the warriors that climbed the tower every day.
"Do not deactivate your invisibility cloak," Xavier advised. "Your old one would have burned in this environment. You’re lucky to wear what you wear."
"I know. I sensed the Qis of the people here. They are powerful and numerous in number."
Class 3: the class where modern weaponry would start losing their effectiveness. Bullets, missiles, that sort. The environment turned these people into natural born Class 3s.
Dasha was confident in killing hundreds of them, same as they did the monsters on the Wall. He estimated those monsters were Class 4. As a Class 5 entity at Level 65, he could kill hundreds. But thousands? Tens of thousand? His Qi could potentially run out.
"It’s more than that. I told you, the Underground is where demons and forgotten descendants of gods live. Here in the slums, the demons are most numerous. This is not a place to live like the Sukhothai or the Old Blood and Guts Neighborhood. You can’t reason with them, they believe only in living. You cannot exercise enough caution. Some of these battle-hungry people have become creatures that possess otherworldly powers and they know this territory well. I know you spent your time here, Jack, but you only killed. You acted on your instincts like the locals did. Investigating will not be as simple."
Always keep the invisibility cloak on. Be discreet. Don’t pick fights.
