Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#347 - Chapter 346 (•_•)

"Extremely strong!" Duan Xian's expression was solemn. "There are no fewer than ten tenth-level Destiny Awakened, and besides them… several councilors have also arrived!"

The other end of the phone went silent, and after a few seconds, Wenren Qing's voice came through: "It seems things are bigger than I thought!"

"Director, we are weak and isolated. Intervening in the clash between conglomerates is a bit…"

"Overestimating our capabilities, are we?"

"I just think the risk is a bit too high. Let the conglomerates deal with the conglomerates…"

Wenren Qing interrupted, "Duan Xian, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. The reason we came to the Southern Federation is not to compete with the conglomerates for power and profit, but to pick someone up, do you understand?"

"I… understand!"

"Keep monitoring."

...

Hundreds of people surged into Snow Dusk Valley like an unstoppable mountain torrent.

The monsters along the way, hearing the commotion, buried their heads in the thick snow like groundhogs, hugging their knees, sticking out their butts, and pretending to be rocks covered in snow.

In front of the military camp ruins, Takahashi Haruyama and Sonoki Akihito stood neatly with their soldiers, each with a hint of excitement on their faces, Sonoki Akihito included.

Just now, Sonoki Akihito contacted Takahashi Ranmu and received news from him that Takahashi Conglomerate councilors were coming, and then… then nothing else.

Takahashi Ranmu didn't mention the fake key at all, whether he forgot or was acting out of spite.

"I didn't expect the higher-ups to value this key to this extent, to send several councilors all at once!" Takahashi Haruyama swallowed, still finding it hard to believe.

Sonoki Akihito raised his hand and placed it on Takahashi Haruyama's shoulder, "Maybe your ninth-level revived beast will have a chance!"

Takahashi Haruyama smiled faintly, about to say something, when his ears twitched, hearing the movement coming from ahead: "They're here!"

Rumble—

The muffled and chaotic footsteps grew clearer and clearer.

Hearing the movement, the soldiers straightened their backs, their expressions becoming serious.

Soon, a dark mass of people appeared in the wind and snow, approaching the military camp ruins at a terrifying speed, reaching within a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Takahashi Haruyama and Sonoki Akihito hurried forward, standing respectfully in front of Takahashi Yusei and the others, "Greetings, leaders."

Takahashi Kido went straight to the point: "Where's the key?"

Sonoki Akihito gestured, "It's ahead, please follow me."

"Mm."

Under Sonoki Akihito's lead, the group quickly arrived at the location of the key.

Takahashi Yusei stepped forward and quietly examined the key, then raised his hand to gently touch it, as if confirming something.

Standing beside him, Sonoki Akihito pushed Takahashi Haruyama from behind, winking at him.

Takahashi Haruyama understood, a warm current surging in his heart, then he stepped to Takahashi Yusei's side and said, "Leader Yusei, we found this key here at six o'clock this morning.

After that, we immediately reported this news to Director Ranmu and jointly checked and verified the key, confirming that it is the same style as yesterday's key!"

Takahashi Yusei turned his head: "You seem pretty happy!"

"Yes!" Takahashi Haruyama replied powerfully, "I am very happy to find two keys for the conglomerate!"

"Good to be happy." Takahashi Yusei nodded with satisfaction, "Since serving the conglomerate makes you happy, then I'll make you even happier!"

Saying that, Takahashi Yusei pointed to the plane in front of him that was rippling with waves: "Go in and scout the way for your colleagues behind you!"

"Scout the way?" Takahashi Haruyama widened his eyes in astonishment: "What do you mean?"

The head of the Sixth House, Takahashi Kaisei, took out a ball of silvery-white thread from his pocket, handed the other end of the thread to the bewildered Takahashi Haruyama, and explained:

"Beyond the rippling circle, there is an unexplored alien space. After you go in, if you can come out, just come out directly. If you can't come out, pull this silver thread hard.

After that, you explore the surrounding situation. If there is no danger, pull the silver thread twice in a row. If there is danger, pull it four times in a row. If there is danger that will endanger your life, pull it six times in a row, understand?"

"This…" Takahashi Haruyama's face turned ashen in an instant: "Leader, this isn't good, is it?"

"What's wrong?" A cold light flashed in Takahashi Kaisei's eyes: "Do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

Takahashi Haruyama denied in a panic, "No, no, no, I just think I'm not suitable for this task, after all, I have no experience exploring alien spaces."

Takahashi Kaisei said without容拒: "This is an order."

Takahashi Haruyama asked uneasily, "Then… what if I encounter dangers that I can't handle?"

"Improvise, anything else?"

Takahashi Haruyama turned his head slightly, casting a look of help at Sonoki Akihito.

Sonoki Akihito braced himself and stepped forward, saying, "Leaders, Takahashi Haruyama hasn't closed his eyes for two days. He has been working hard for the key, and he is already exhausted. He may not be able to do a good job…"

Takahashi Kaisei turned his gaze to Sonoki Akihito: "Then let's switch to you!"

"Actually, I think Takahashi Haruyama is quite suitable. Although he is mentally exhausted, his will must be firm!"

Takahashi Haruyama: (•_•)

In the end, Takahashi Haruyama, clutching one end of the silver thread, walked into the ripples, and the thread wrapped around Takahashi Kaisei's wrist was quickly pulled out and tightened.

After that, Takahashi Yusei walked to the space rippling with waves and reached out to press forward.

Buzz—

His palm went straight through the ripples, unlike Takahashi Haruyama, who disappeared directly.

Takahashi Yusei said in a deep voice, "As expected, those above the tenth level cannot enter the alien space. The Ito Conglomerate did not deceive us."

"Is it because of the repulsion with our realm?"

"Probably!"

After waiting for a few minutes, the silver thread was suddenly pulled hard, obviously, Takahashi Haruyama could no longer get out.

Takahashi Yusei and the others' expressions sank. If they couldn't freely enter and exit the alien space, it would mean that information could not be shared, and the difficulty of conquering it would be greatly increased.

...

In front of the open bronze door, Takahashi Haruyama squatted in the darkness, twisting the thread around his wrist, muttering:

"Bastard, I've made such a great contribution, and not only do you not praise me, but you also want me to scout the way. You're just daydreaming. If you want to explore, let's explore together!"

Outside, the unknowing Takahashi Kaisei looked at the silver thread that was constantly extending inward and nodded with satisfaction: "This Takahashi Haruyama is very efficient!"

After a long time, the silver thread was suddenly pulled twice, and Takahashi Haruyama, squatting in front of the bronze door, sent out a "rescue" signal.

Seeing this, the wrinkles at the corners of Takahashi Kaisei's eyes slowly piled up, and he turned to face everyone.

"What you are going to do, I have already explained very clearly before coming here. This operation is very dangerous, but danger and opportunity coexist. This is an opportunity to take off, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Everyone shouted in unison.
