Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Li Wanyun swallowed. Only after a long moment did she say, “Sister Sheng, you already noticed something was wrong, but you still played along with it. You had Qi Dui take us away, then split up the other Superpower Users in the Southwest, giving the Blood Pool Aberrant the best possible opening?”

Sheng An nodded.

Everyone sucked in a breath, their faces full of shock.

Sheng An spread her hands. “I’m sorry. I dragged all of you into danger with me, and we barely made it out alive. If the other side hadn’t acted the way I predicted, there was a very high chance we would have lost our lives.”

That much, she had to admit.

Qi Lingwu raised a hand and gently rubbed her head. He straightened her tattered clothes for her, then let her, still not fully recovered, lean lightly against his arm.

It was the quietest possible show of support, and of where he stood.

Song Linwei was still reeling from Sheng An’s boldness. Hearing that, he hurriedly shook his head. “There was a hidden enemy, one that might even have been monitoring us. Of course you couldn’t tell us every last detail.

“Besides, from the moment we entered the Southwest-no, from the moment the Apocalypse arrived-which one of us hasn’t been living in danger? Sister Sheng, you did nothing wrong. All we need to do is trust you.”

The others nodded heavily.

-Trust Sister Sheng. That was never wrong.

Zhang Kun smiled and scratched his head. “Aren’t we all fine now?”

No matter how close to death it had been, they were still alive.

That was right. They were all still alive. Ji Yani and Jiang Yu exchanged a smile as well.

Gu Qiansheng was very curious. “I still have two questions. First, Sister Sheng, what exactly did you discover? And just now, what result did you verify? Second, since the other side might have been monitoring us, why can you tell us now? Have you already found a solution?”

Song Linwei had the same two questions. He nodded and also looked at Sheng An.

Sheng An chuckled. “You two really are sharp.”

Li Xin was completely lost. He thought, Why only say those two are sharp?

He had questions too!

Li Xin raised his hand and cut in, “Sister Sheng, Sister Sheng, I have a question too. You sent the others out, but how could you be sure the other side would scheme against you?”

Everyone: “…”

Song Linwei shot his nephew a look of disdain and said speechlessly, “If you don’t understand, ask me in private. Saying it out loud like that makes you sound really stupid. My family’s genes must have mutated!”

Li Xin: “???”

His face went blank, utterly confused.

Jiang Yu gave a soft scoff. “So if you’re dumb, don’t ask random questions.”

She blinked and asked, “Sister Sheng, is it because you sent them all out, leaving the defensive force weak, so the other side thought we’d be easy targets?”

Everyone: “…………”

-A Crouching Dragon and a Young Phoenix!

Ji Yani was speechless. “Can the two of you please use your brains? Also, try to remember the things we’ve discussed before. Think a little more before you ask anything!!”

After a pause, she pointed at Sheng An. “Sister Sheng might be that being who restarted the game-”

Then she pointed at Jiang Yu. “And you have the Space Ability.”

Finally, she smiled faintly. “It’s not that they would attack you because our defenses were weak. It’s that the enemy wants to attack you two the most, so they definitely would attack you!”

Superpower Users and Aberrants were two forces locked in a struggle. Sheng An and Jiang Yu each had their own value within it. Just like how they most wanted to get rid of M, the other side naturally most wanted to get rid of these two.

As long as there was even the slightest opportunity, the other side would make a move.

Sheng An had transferred the others away, weakening their forces and giving the enemy what it believed was a chance for a “fatal strike.”

No matter when or where, as long as the two of them existed, they were Bait.

Jiang Yu and Li Xin suddenly understood.

Then, they felt a little awkward.

-It did seem like they had sounded… not very smart.
Jia Guangliang listened with his mouth hanging open. A grain of rice was still stuck to his chubby face, and he looked completely lost. “What on earth are you all talking about? Why can’t I understand any of it?”

All that talk of he, she, They, and then Space Ability and M-what was any of that supposed to mean?

Hearing him, Jiang Yu and Li Xin both broke into brilliant smiles.

Good. So they weren’t the intellectual low point here. There was still someone who understood absolutely nothing.

Song Linwei was speechless.

Did these two really feel accomplished comparing themselves to Jia Guangliang, who knew nothing at all?

Sheng An said, “It’s complicated. I’ll have Hao Jingye explain it to you later.”

Jia Guangliang would be one of them from now on. There were some things he had to know.

Everyone else turned to Sheng An, no longer bothering with the “Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix.” They wanted to know the explanation for the two doubts Gu Qiansheng had just raised.

Qi Lingwu said, “I’ll explain.”

He placed the food and water Li Wanyun had brought into Sheng An’s hands, wanting her to rest for a while, and took over the explanation.

“We can basically confirm that the Southwest is one enormous Blood Pool. The vanished Fragments and the ninety-nine percent of the Southwest’s dead population are all providing nutrients to the Blood Pool Aberrant.”

After a pause, Qi Lingwu added, “Perhaps the missing Aberrants were also used to nourish the Blood Pool Aberrant.”

“Why?” Long Tianyu pressed.

Qi Lingwu said, “The Aberrants began disappearing on a large scale a year ago. Judging by the timeline, that was a little over a month ago in the outside world. At that time, we were preparing to-wipe out the Blood Pool Aberrant.”

Song Linwei suddenly understood. “I get it! M abandoned the Aberrants outside because it was determined to keep all of us in the Southwest. So starting from that stage, the Blood Pool Aberrant desperately strengthened itself, made more people on this land die, and at the same time, even used other Aberrants as nutrients!”

Sheng An added, “Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that all the Aberrants have gathered somewhere else.”

But that possibility was not very likely.

After all, Aberrants in the Southwest had no need to hide in secret while they evolved.

Qi Lingwu continued, “If the one behind this attack is the Southwest Blood Pool Aberrant, then the first things we need to figure out are its strength and its location.

“She led you into the trap, but you weren’t completely defenseless. The Space Ability and the Space Barrier were both means of self-protection.

“If the Southwest Blood Pool Aberrant wanted to harvest your lives, it had to use its Supernatural Ability. That was the result Sheng An wanted.”

He understood her extremely well.

Sometimes, all it took was one look for him to know what she intended to do.

When Sheng An devised this risky plan, only Qi Lingwu could cooperate with her perfectly and achieve the outcome she wanted.

She had always charged and fought at the front, while he stayed behind, ensuring her safety during and after the charge.

Sheng An had led them into the trap.

Her “try again” meant trying the opponent’s ability one more time.

The opponent had struck twice. Combined with what they had discovered earlier…

Now, she had completely confirmed the Blood Pool Aberrant’s ability.

Qi Lingwu said, “As for the second point of doubt, the opponent’s Supernatural Ability is very special. Secretly scheming against it is useless. Since we’ve already confirmed the Blood Pool Aberrant’s ability, the next step is to face it directly. There’s no need to hide anything anymore.”

After failing this time, the opponent would probably also realize they had deliberately taken the bait.

There was no need to keep it hidden, so naturally, it could be explained to everyone.

Wu Buyu took a deep breath and asked the most important question. “Sister Sheng, what is the Blood Pool Aberrant’s ability?”

Sheng An put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at them, and spoke calmly-

“Rules and Order Type: Time.”
