I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 401

"Deep abyss?"

Upon hearing these words, as well as the senior profligate's declaration of venturing into the abyss, even a resolute individual like Mu Ling couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

The Abyss.

That was an evil place, renowned in the multiverse as the counterpart to Hell.

Full of danger, despair, fear, and curses, it was a place so treacherous that even deities dared not venture recklessly into its depths.

In the depths of the Abyss, there existed countless creatures and chaos. Some were even larger than planets, and some dared to challenge the mighty immortal deities high above!

Legend has it that deep within the Abyss, something unimaginably terrifying dwells!

Mu Ling fell silent for a moment before answering,

"I know that a portion of the Black Abyss Deep Sea is located in the Abyss, as the Abyss is a special realm that is one of the few planes able to sustain its existence."

"From what I know, there are many chaotic races living in the abyss, and the strongest among them even possess god-like powers... Even someone as respected as you, there would probably be danger in going to the abyss."

Bai Yan nodded, fully agreeing with Mu Ling's words.

"You're right, the abyss is indeed incredibly dangerous."

But soon, he expressed his own opinion.

"But the abyss is practically an infinitely vast space, and we merely went there to investigate the nearby areas... We aren't seeking to conquer or annihilate the abyss, even if there are enemies we cannot defeat within it, we have no need to provoke them."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he added another sentence with high emotional intelligence.

"Of course, the abyss is indeed very dangerous, you are absolutely right... If you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Deep down, Mu Ling understood that she wasn't afraid to venture into the abyss, she was just worried about herself as a fellow traveler.

Mu Ling paused for a moment, shook her head, and continued, "I'm not actually afraid, I just hope to be well-prepared... Actually, I'm really curious to know, what does the great Babel Tower Savior think?"

Hmm, since you asked sincerely.

"Searching for the truth is what He desires..." Bai Yan replied calmly.

"Okay, let's go," said the friend.

Mu Ling no longer hesitated. She made up her mind to venture into the legendary realm of evil alongside the "Profligate" senior.

Let's find out!

"The Abyss"

Bai Yan raised the peculiar talisman in his hand, took a deep breath, and began to silently chant in an ancient and mysterious language.

This is the Abyss language commonly used by the Doomsday Race, its existence spans through an untraceable period of time, and its creator cannot be identified. However, one thing is known to all: this language possesses a mysterious power.

Gradually, strange things started to happen.

"In the midst of darkness," the numerous eyes shrouded by black fingers on the talisman began to slowly open.

It was a deep black eye, with a blood-red pupil at its center.

A twisted darkness radiated from the pupil.

In the next moment, an almost invisible door appeared. It was nearly completely flat and emitted a faint gray glow.

Mu Ling slowly extended her finger and touched the gray surface.

She took a deep breath and felt a peculiar atmosphere emanating from the mysterious surface. Merely touching it made her instinctively want to step away.

Finally, Mu Ling said calmly, "This is the door that connects to the Abyss, one of the most evil and dangerous areas in the multi-dimensional universe... Let's go inside."

Bai Yan nodded gently as he stepped forward.

He was about to take a step ahead of Mu Ling and enter, but he was suddenly stopped by her as she reached out her hand and firmly grabbed his arm.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Yan turned around and looked back, only to see Mu Ling shaking her head.

Mu Ling quickly spoke up, "I've heard that the Abyss is constantly changing. If two people enter the Abyss at the same time, but they don't stick together or tie themselves with a rope, they will end up in different places."

She was a very proper crime-hunter. She had taken a few lessons specifically to learn about the Abyss and Hell.

So, she knew some characteristics about the Abyss.

Oh, now I understand.

"I understand," said Mu Ling, her eyes still filled with anger, and Bai Yan noticed it.

He said, "We need to search for some clues,"

So, Bai Yan and Mu Ling explored one room after another, inside the fortress. The rooms had a simple style, with no unnecessary decorations or furniture.

It is evident that the Doomsday Race doesn't pursue enjoyment.

They discovered many slaves and noticed that these slaves were mostly under the control of the Doomsday Race. They were gathering special black ore from the surroundings, yet they had no knowledge of its unique purpose.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Yan closed his eyes and reached out to touch the scorching walls of the fortress. He began to unleash his ability of "Connection."

In his mind, scenes of flashbacks arose.

"Um, I understand."

After Bai Yan opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face. He gently nodded and pointed to the spot right below.

"The thing we are looking for should be right at the bottom of the fortress."

"The very bottom?"

Mu Ling slightly paused, then she heard Bai Yan continue speaking.

"Hmm, the leader of the Ironcore Fortress, 'Ming', is right there. The person sent to Tatsumi City by the Doomsday Race is her. If we can find her, we will be able to understand the whole situation."

"I want to free the slaves inside this fortress," Mu Ling suddenly spoke up.

"Good."

Bai Yan had long been aware of Mu Ling's thoughts, but he didn't find it strange. Calmly, he said, "Since you want to do this, I will accompany you."

Mu Ling looked at the elder "Profligate" and somehow felt familiar with the look in his eyes, but couldn't recall where exactly this sense of familiarity came from.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)

"Thank you."

She sincerely thanked Mr. Profligate, this elder was truly very tolerant of her.

"Elder... Have we met before?"

Mu Ling couldn't help but curiously ask.

Bai Yan immediately responded, "Hmm? Haven't we met many times? I have been involved in many missions, and I also appeared at the Babel Tower meeting... Did you lose your memory?"

Mu Ling shook her head and gathered her thoughts before saying, "No, I mean apart from those occasions... I always feel like you are very familiar with me."

"Hmm..."

Bai Yan fell silent, and Mu Ling was truly perceptive.

As their strength grew and they spent more time together, the difficulty of continuing to play the game of deception increased day by day.

Perhaps if things continue like this, someday my true identity will be exposed.

However, even if Mu Ling's true identity is revealed, her loyal attitude will not change. There is no need to worry about that.

Is it truly the right time now?

"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

Bai Yan had a smile on his face, and he let out a sigh.

"I thought I could hide it from you all along, but I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."

He looked at Mu Ling with a serious gaze and spoke slowly, "Next, I am going to tell you the truth, something very astonishing. I'm afraid you won't believe it at first."

Hmm.

Indeed, it was necessary to take this step.

Bai Yan also knew in his heart that blindly fooling around was not a solution.

Mu Ling held her breath and gazed at Senior Profligate before her.

At that moment, she couldn't help but feel like she was about to discover some unimaginable, enormous secret!

Bai Yan, in a way he had never been before, spoke with utmost seriousness, every word carefully pronounced, "Why do you feel familiar to me, and why do I know your preferences? The truth is, all of this is because..."
