Chapter 462: Fatal Death, The Top Three [Cards] (35k)

"Uh, thank you so much, sir. Your act of killing this brutal villain will certainly be commended. We have already reported it to the National Police Agency..."

A few police officers who had cautiously approached, only after confirming that the brutal villain was truly dead, expressed their gratitude to Bai Cangshu with lingering fear, as if Bai Cangshu were some great philanthropist.

【You have killed dd30677540, Purge Mission progress updated】

【Purge Mission has been completed】

【Special Reincarnator ex051, you may choose to return in a non-combat state, or return after a maximum of 25 days】

Bai Cangshu waved his hand and put away the Scarlet Drop Card shimmering with golden light. His pace did not look fast, but in the blink of an eye, he had walked hundreds of meters. The police officer who was calling headquarters turned his head back, only to see Bai Cangshu's figure disappearing around a corner.

Bai Cangshu recalled the thought information he had read from the mind of the Reincarnator just now.

The other party was not bluffing, nor was it a curse before death; the other party had truly seen his own death date from the Multi-faceted Alien.

And Bai Cangshu also understood that the Multi-faceted Alien's ability was not a Prophecy, but an effect similar to seeing through time dimensions.

In certain scientific concepts, time is not a long river in the usual sense; time is not linear, but a counter-intuitive construct.

The so-called past, present, and future are merely human illusions.

Therefore, "seeing through" time and "seeing through" the future, on this dimension, is not a mystical or prophetic ability effect, but a science—a systematic cognition obtained by the Multi-faceted Alien standing at the peak of scientific dimensions.

Sixty days later is my 【Fatal Death】?

"Interesting..."

By now, Bai Cangshu was also very clear about his own abnormalities compared to other Reincarnators, or rather, compared to other humans.

He had no so-called sense of awe for life.

Regardless of whether it was for others or for himself.

Some Reincarnators would wantonly kill Plot Characters because they felt they were true humans possessing noble and free Souls, while Plot Characters were merely NPCs—a segment of data—and therefore they would not empathize with Plot Characters and could kill them at will;

Some Reincarnators would wantonly kill other people in the real world, or even other Reincarnators. Such Reincarnators are called 【Fierce Person】s, because humans hide brutal genes in their bones; these Fierce Persons were merely fully stimulating the brutality in their instincts and ignoring all laws and morality;

But Bai Cangshu, he did not kill for pleasure, nor did he feel he was nobler than the other party; he simply... needed to kill.

Killing was the simplest and most efficient way for him to gain power and complete missions.

Killing was the indispensable full stop for him to participate in and end battles.

Plot Characters, ordinary people, Reincarnators—to Bai Cangshu, there was no difference. He fought everyone equally and killed everyone equally.

Likewise, Bai Cangshu was completely indifferent to his own life.

It was as if hundreds of thousands of Souls were hiding within his body, wanting to seize his consciousness at any moment, yet he felt no problem with it. Occasionally, when his body had issues, he would even take pleasure in it, fighting and competing with those hundreds of thousands of Souls for ownership of the 【Heart Throne】.

Bai Cangshu was obsessed with battle and obsessed with power, but he was not obsessed with his own life.

At this moment, knowing that the Multi-faceted Alien saw he would die in sixty days, he did not feel fear, confusion, or similar emotions.

Bai Cangshu was merely curious: at his current rate of growth, what realm would he reach in 60 days?

And what kind of power would be able to kill him at that time?

"Ha~ truly... looking forward to it..."

Beep-beep, beep-beep.

As Bai Cangshu was walking, the satellite phone that Suga Hideto had specially had someone provide to Bai Cangshu before his departure rang.

This phone was nominally for Bai Cangshu to contact them directly when needed, but in reality, it was a backup plan for Suga Hideto to seek help from Bai Cangshu when dealing with special events beyond the power range of the Black Ball Squad.

After Bai Cangshu connected, Suga Hideto's fearful voice came from within.

"Mr. Tao Baibai... we have had some trouble here..."

On the phone, Bai Cangshu could hear screams; it seemed something had already broken into the residence. With the Japanese government currently able to control multiple Black Ball Squads, this meant the intruders possessed power even beyond Gantz technology.

Bai Cangshu looked up and saw a full moon.

"You guys are not worthy of controlling the power of Gantz at all..."

Bai Cangshu heard Xuan Yeji's voice filled with anger, followed by another burst of screams.

Zzz~

The sound of electricity came through. The next moment, the satellite phone had changed owners. A woman's voice came through the phone to Bai Cangshu's ears.

"Tao Baibai, I will take revenge on you, absolutely..."

Click.

The call was interrupted.

Bai Cangshu chuckled and shook his head. The next moment, his figure shot into the sky. Under the blessing of the Dance of the Sky, Bai Cangshu broke the speed of sound, pierced through the sea of clouds, and then a blue-and-white painted Single-Person Boat appeared beneath his feet.

Accompanied by the hissing of lightning, Bai Cangshu stood with his hands behind his back, his pink robe fluttering. He stepped on the Single-Person Boat, speeding toward Japan above the sea of clouds.

Sure enough, any talk of Fatalism or a Fatal Death was too boring; this kind of slaughter right before his eyes was what fascinated him more.

This was the reason he liked the identity of a Reincarnator most: endless conflict, endless Hatred... endless slaughter.

——

In the temporary Prime Minister's Residence, Suga Hideto was pale, clutching his severed left wrist, curled up beside the office desk. He looked at the woman crackling with electricity; the other party exuded an aura completely different from other Black Ball warriors.

It was she who had just broken into the interior of the residence in an instant, killing over a dozen warriors wearing Reinforced Suits, allowing this group to easily break into the residence.

"Is it okay for you to say things like that? A guy like Tao Baibai will probably rush back from Deguo immediately..."

Although Lotus was questioning, his eyes were soft; he knew very well the pain in Bonnie's heart.

To put it nicely, the 74960 Squad was a team where resources and combat power were concentrated on a few people, but to put it bluntly, it was just a second-rate team that had only survived by relying on Bonnie's power.

And in such a team, the kind-hearted Bonnie bore great pressure. This time, as they had all died in battle, Bonnie would inevitably blame herself extremely.

He did not say empty words like "no need to avenge me"; such things could not comfort Bonnie at all.

Bonnie's eyes were sharp. Ever since she encountered Tao Baibai last time, struggled to escape, and saw Ama—who had been resurrected by Gantz—killed by Tao Baibai again, her temperament had become increasingly cold.

Bonnie had realized her previous weakness. She would no longer leave herself a way out; she wanted to make herself an enemy of Tao Baibai. Only this pressure could ensure that she, alone, would not be confused to the point of death.

Xuan Yeji's complexion was pale, his figure had become much more upright, and even his temperament had changed a lot.

This made Shimohira Reika, who had once been very infatuated with him, feel like he was a stranger.

Even though Xuan Yeji looked more handsome and cold now, she inexplicably felt that there was a lot more cold, sinister air about this Xuan Yeji.

Kato Masaru was the same; looking at the corpses all over the ground, he had no idea what the point of this operation was.

"Hasn't the Prime Minister already said it? Because the zaibatsus are afraid of that Tao Baibai, they voluntarily handed over the ownership of Gantz. In the future, there won't be any activities within Japan that use Gantz Hunter for killing as entertainment..."

Kato Masaru was somewhat agitated, but Xuan Yeji was already too lazy to look at this close friend.

He simply pushed open the window and beckoned outside; the next moment, a pale-skinned boy, who seemed to be frozen all over by ice, walked in from the window, holding the hand of another girl who was also frozen by ice.

The boy's eyes were a pure icy blue; he walked in front of Suga Hideto, and then he and his younger sister began to draw on the ground.

The dark blue text was impossible to read, but a chill began to spread.

Kato Masaru felt even more uneasy in his heart.

"Yeji! What on earth are you trying to do?!"

Xuan Yeji turned his head at this moment, looking at Kato Masaru and the others, and suddenly held up a finger, making a gesture for silence.

"Don't make a sound, someone is watching us... Those guys have been watching us all along..."

"Just like... looking at white mice."

Xuan Yeji's eyes flickered with an uncontrollable madness, his sharp teeth unconsciously protruded, and a craving for blood appeared in his heart.

Under the guidance of that ancient alien god, he had seen the true secret behind Gantz and also learned the root cause of the suffering this world was enduring.

As long as things like Gantz continued to exist, the so-called Reincarnation Alien would enter this world one after another, and then turn everything into something unrecognizable...

Only if this world turned into a place of dead silence could those Observers, who thought they were high and mighty, lose interest in this world...

Shimohira Reika took two steps back, and Kato Masaru immediately blocked her behind him; in that instant, they were certain they hadn't seen wrong—Xuan Yeji had developed an urge to drink blood from Shimohira Reika.

Xuan Yeji looked at his friends who couldn't understand him and didn't explain, simply turning his head to look at the Contract inscribed on the ground.

It didn't matter; as long as this Prime Minister signed the Contract and made the teachings of that Lord God the state religion of this country, everything would eventually turn into a frigid cold.

"Winter is Coming..."

——

In the Infinite Dimensional Space, inside a pitch-black Private Space, this space had no gravity and no ground.

Reincarnators could only drift at will here, and they could not see any boundaries.

Shiyu had been drifting here for quite a long time; he did not like this kind of dark humor at all, just like the crown of Fate Eternal he had previously—this type of power always made him feel troubled.

Finally, he saw a beam of light in the pitch-black space, and his figure drifted toward that beam of light.

Shiyu landed in the light, his figure stabilized, and a voice sounded accordingly.

"It seems you and I are fated today."

Shiyu curled his lips, thinking to himself that the rules in the Private Space were still designed by the Reincarnator themselves.

He did not want to get into a philosophical discussion with this god-like person and spoke directly:

"Last time, I probed the true strength of that woman Hua Kai Tu Mi for you, and you promised me one condition; now I have come to collect."

"I want to know the answer to a question."

"Is Tao Baibai one of the three so-called most mysterious 'Cards' that you few hid away back then?"

Shiyu had returned in defeat from the B711 Secondary World, and facing the rumors everywhere in the space that he had died and had suffered a great loss at the hands of Tao Baibai, he was not angry.

He was even filled with curiosity about that special Reincarnator because of it.

The so-called Fatalism should be one of the top-tier Concepts, close to Concepts like Causality and Paradox; why was it that such a top-tier Concept could not encompass the fate of that Tao Baibai?

He used his shallow authority to look and actually discovered that Tao Baibai had the possibility of transcending Fatalism.

As one of the top-tier Reincarnators, Shiyu knew many secret pieces of information.

Just like the true leader of this Destiny organization before him, he was very certain that the other party was a product of the previous era of reincarnation.

"Yes, and no."

Shiyu received the answer, and the next moment his eyes brightened as he was teleported out of the other party's Private Space; he frowned, pondering this answer, and soon, a guess appeared in his heart.

He felt he had to find that person from Qingkong to confirm it; after all, in the entire space, probably only three people knew the faces of those three cards and their final whereabouts.
