Chapter 428
He stood still in silence.
What is Li Mo doing?
Of course, he was waiting for Alan to take the initiative to attack, so he could counterstrike.
The rules of the 'Deep Sea' were not so rigid, but rather relatively humane. As long as the crime-hunters were attacked in self-defense, it wouldn't be considered indiscriminate killing of the innocent.
The right to self-defense after being attacked can even be considered almost unlimited.
So Li Mo remained silent, standing still in the same spot, calmly waiting for the other party to launch an attack.
But Alan also refrained from launching a direct attack.
Because he had no intention of killing anyone, Alan also knew that among the people returning to Tatsumi City, there were also many righteous individuals. He believed that they shouldn't engage in self-destructive behavior over such matters.Deep down in his heart, he still wanted to find a peaceful resolution.
And so, a peculiar scene unfolded. The two of them stood completely still, facing each other on the spot for what seemed like an eternity.
Xiao Guo looked at this, then looked at that, feeling very strange.
"Big brother! Big brother! Two big brothers, are you both silly? Why are you standing still without saying anything?"
Xiao Guo sincerely expressed her confusion.
Li Mo still remained silent, as he felt there was no need to speak.
"Come over here! It's dangerous over there!" Alan furrowed his brow and reached out his hand, saying to the little girl.
He felt a little afraid that the other person might suddenly act and harm the little girl. He pondered how he could protect her.
The man before his eyes had impressive abilities.
Perhaps, when it came to uncovering the essence of souls, he was slightly inferior to himself, but compared to himself, it was only a minor difference... Potential Apocalypse facing the rise of the Crown didn't guarantee a hundred percent chance of victory.
So Alan was filled with caution and vigilance.
However, an unexpected scene unfolded before Alan, completely catching him off guard.
"I won't go there! You are a bad person!" Xiao Guo suddenly yelled, hiding behind Li Mo instead.
Alan was stunned, how could he possibly be a bad person?
This little girl couldn't tell right from wrong!
"I am not a bad person, I am a good person. I want to protect you. These outsiders have been brainwashed and believe that killing innocent people is for the sake of saving World."
He hurriedly tried to explain, while Li Mo remained silent. As for Xiao Guo...
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"
Now things were not looking good. Alan, for a moment, had absolutely no idea what to say.
"No hitting."
Li Mo shook his head and continued forward with Xiao Guo... Xiao Guo looked at Alan warily, staring with her big, watery eyes.
"Stop!"
There was no way Alan would let him take the little girl away like that. Even if this guy didn't harm her for now, what if he actually planned to take her somewhere to dismantle her soul?
He couldn't let the other party just go like that. There was a possibility that this man would do such a thing... Stepping back for a moment, it was a joint decision between Babel Tower and Mr. Xia to protect everyone on the list.
Alan, a member of both the Demon Hunt Agency and Babel Tower, could not simply ignore the orders.
And so, he finally decided to unleash his magic first.
Seeing the future!
INT told Alan that the enemy's movements and attack speed were very fast. If he didn't apply a Future Vision BUFF beforehand, he would have a very tough time fighting.
Later, Alan chose not to attack Li Mo directly.
But instead, he first saw a vision ahead of time because of "Future Vision"... and there were other people here!
In the vision of "Future Vision", that person would suddenly appear and snatch the little girl while the two of them were attacking each other.
"Who?"
He suddenly unleashed the Fire that Burns Everything not far away!
The black flames immediately ignited, amidst a sense of despair, with signs reminiscent of the end of World. A small figure, wailing, dashed out from the corner.
"Doomsday race!" Alan squinted his eyes.
The opponent's invisibility was dispelled by the Fire that Burns Everything, and Alan was astonished to discover a humanoid creature with black markings all over its body and blue skin.
It was clear as day that they were the infamous Doomsday Race from the multiverse!
Li Mo also gazed at the numerous enemies, and at the same time, he recognized it. It was the Fire that Burns Everything from the Lord of Ashes.
Suddenly, Alan became aware that there were many of such beings around him, almost in the thousands, and they were all in an invisible state.
"So many!" exclaimed Alan in astonishment.
He soon discovered that these Doomsday Race beings that had approached were actually clones and not their true selves.
However, Alan still found it a bit challenging because the Doomsday Race, capable of creating so many clones, must have been quite powerful.
All the Doomsday Race beings rushed towards the little girl, and Alan's hand was engulfed in a multitude of black flames. One by one, he ignited the clones, causing screams of agony to fill the air.
Li Mo remained silent, but the gleaming black cross sword in his hand swung forward, slicing through the air.
Many clones were struck by the waves that appeared out of nowhere, vanishing without a trace.
The attack launched by the two of them together had a tremendous effect. In just a few minutes, they managed to eliminate all the clones.
After the clones were completely eliminated, the enemy's true form remained hidden, taking a long time to emerge.
While Alan and Li Mo were still on high alert, guarding against each other's true forms, Xiao Guo suddenly had a great realization!
She smiled and held out her hands, saying, "I get it now! So, you're actually friends! No wonder the big brothers all act so strange and silly."
Friends? Forget it!
Alan found it a bit funny, but he also understood that this crime-hunter held no ill will towards him. He figured the crime-hunter wouldn't harm the little girl either.
Alan quickly said to Li Mo, "Although you're protecting her, I still need her to go to the Demon Hunt Agency. I hope you understand that only by going there, she can truly be safe."
Li Mo remained silent for a while before responding, "She is searching for her mother."
Saying five words seemed like a great effort for Li Mo.
Alan paused for a moment, and Xiao Guo immediately began to sob, saying, "Xiao Guo wants to find her mom. Mommy is missing, and Xiao Guo gets scared when she can't see mommy. Xiao Guo doesn't want mommy to cry or be afraid."
"Don't worry, we will help you find your mother."
Alan smiled and spoke to Li Mo in a gentler tone, "Wandering aimlessly in Tatsumi City won't lead us anywhere. But with the help of the Demon Hunt Agency's various powers, finding her mother will become much easier."
"Please, hand her over to us," he pleaded once again.
After thinking for a while, Li Mo finally nodded and said, "Alright."
With teary eyes, Xiao Guo asked, "Big brother, are you going to leave Xiao Guo behind? Big brother, Xiao Guo doesn't even know your name."
Li Mo shook his head without answering.
"That person seems to have withdrawn," said Alan.
Alan waited for a long time, but he couldn't find the other person's true form. It seems that the Doomsday Race, who had just released a large number of clones to attack, must have retreated from this place.
Alan looked at Li Mo, this man's handsomeness was almost perfect. Honestly, he realized that he had actually seen such a handsome... man before!
The appearance of Amicio, the Son of God, surpassed everyone else's, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.
Alan couldn't help but say, "The Steel Throne has deceived you. It has been completely corrupted by the Outer God."
Li Mo remained silent.
"The 'key' you are looking for is not actually for saving the Steel Throne, but for releasing the Outer God... the Black Abyss Deep Sea!"
He paused for a moment and continued, "I will take her away now. If you don't want any trouble, then go and protect the innocent."
"No."
However, Li Mo shook his head and firmly rejected Alan's proposal.
Alan was stunned for a moment, and the answer given by the other person left him feeling a mix of amusement and bewilderment. He didn't know what to say.
"I am sleeping."
Li Mo said in all seriousness.

The White Tower of the Demon Hunt General Agency.
This tall tower is now the new symbol of Tatsumi City.
It overlooks all living beings from here, and it also protects the people of Tatsumi City.
Inside the tower, over five hundred people already gathered here, whose names were on the list. The numerous Night Watchers became very vigilant, guarding this place to prevent enemy attacks.
Of course, there was an even more important and powerful force here than them.
"World"
Mr. Xia.
He sat in the director's office of the Demon Hunt General Agency, calmly sipping tea.
Only this extraordinary powerhouse was the guarantee that the White Tower could still stand tall in such circumstances.
"Hello, two of you."
Mr. Bai Yan smiled as he entered the office, looking at Mr. Xia and the director of the Demon Hunt General Agency sitting nearby.
That is the old man whom people call "Sword Saint," Austin.
He looked serious, dressed in a black suit, sitting beside Mr. Xia. Although he seemed like a man in his seventies, he still had a strong and imposing presence.
Bai Yan got straight to the point and said, "Next, I will investigate the more than five hundred people and find the important 'key' first."
