Chapter 312 – Aftermath

Su Hao, Harmony, and Yashan once again arrived at the underground space where a large number of young children were hanging. The ‘Double Suppression Force Field’ was at full power, cutting off any escape route for the personnel inside the underground space. Then, they boldly broke open a large hole, allowing the sunlight from outside to shine in, illuminating the peaceful faces of countless young children.

Accompanied by a piercing alarm, Su Hao and Yashan leaped down. Su Hao, wielding a Long Blade, directly slashed and killed any staff members he encountered, quickly clearing out the entire underground area. Yashan, with a video recorder on his shoulder, recorded the Resistors’ crimes.

Su Hao’s blood energy surged, recording the information of each young child.

After careful observation, Su Hao discovered that the thin nets surrounding the young children had tubes extending from each node. These tubes were connected to the children’s bodies, with one half injecting some liquid and the other half outputting some liquid, forming a cycle.

Su Hao followed the tubes to trace the liquid’s destination, recording and analyzing as he went.

An hour later, Su Hao found a large quantity of ‘Balancing Agent’ in an isolated room and finally understood the purpose of this underground production line.

This was the place where ‘Balancing Agent’ was produced.

And the raw material for production was the young children Su Hao saw hanging in mid-air.

Between the ages of three and six, human bodies are in a special developmental stage. Under a specific Force Field radiation, their bodies secrete a large amount of hormones that stimulate self-regulation to adapt to the environment.

This hormone is the key that allows Resistors to teleport back and forth between their Home Planet and Harmony Sub-Star.

Su Hao was mistaken again. The Resistors didn’t have a super genius who researched and created the ‘Balancing Agent’ single-handedly. There was only a lucky individual who, as a child, passed through this area. Under the Force Field radiation, they secreted Balancing Agent, allowing them to teleport to the Sub-Star without dying. They eventually discovered the secret of the ‘Balancing Agent,’ and thus the Resistors were born.

“Many technological advancements or human disasters are often accompanied by ‘accidents’!”

However, many things that seem accidental are actually inevitable.

Seeing that Yashan had finished recording, Su Hao said, “Let’s go! This matter is over. Even if the Resistors are not completely wiped out, they should be quiet for the next few years.”

Yashan nodded, jumped out of the underground space, and his Steel Armor surged, quickly burying everything underground.

Then they flew high into the sky, Harmony and Su Hao flying back to Huaiyuan Town Base one after the other.

As for the remaining cleanup work, Su Hao didn’t need to worry about it. The incident that happened today had already spread throughout the world as soon as it occurred. Many people enjoyed this kind of cleanup work, as it was a good opportunity to promote a positive image.

This incident was called the “Paradise Town Bloody Incident,” and the two perpetrators were known as the ‘Paradise Butchers.’

Tens of thousands of people watched the massacre. Countless people recorded videos and took pictures, uploading them to various platforms immediately. Most of them recorded a final video as a last testament, mourning their short lives: “When you see this video, I might already be dead. I am currently experiencing an unimaginable Hell…”

Some, who weren’t afraid of trouble, laughed heartily in the videos: “This is too fun. This trip to Paradise Town was worth it. At least I saw scenery I never thought I’d see…”

These videos persisted online despite repeated bans. The World Federation’s cyber department simply stopped banning them. If people wanted to watch, let them watch! It wasn’t a big deal!

What truly catalyzed discussions among the world’s high-level officials was not the killing itself, but the power wielded by the two armored figures. The number of deaths and the subsequent impact were basically not considered. These were established facts. Truly mature individuals always base their actions on the present and look towards the future.

They were more concerned about whether the armored figures, who possessed such powerful abilities, would eventually turn their blades against them.

However, it didn’t cause any impact. Most netizens online were just watching the commotion, making sarcastic remarks and gloating. Soon, it devolved into a heated argument.

…

Chen Chufeng, Harmony Chen Qingsheng sat opposite each other in an office.

Chen Chufeng slowly flipped through the printed booklet in his hand. This booklet was none other than a small part of Su Hao’s “Path of the Warrior.”

Chen Chufeng said with dim eyes, “We’re already old! We can’t practice this kind of “Path of the Warrior” anymore! It’s too late!”

Chen Qingsheng also said regretfully, “Indeed! Extraordinary power, so close yet so far from us. If only it were forty years earlier!”

Chen Chufeng quickly recovered from his dejection and smiled, “If it were forty years earlier, this booklet probably wouldn’t have been available for us to see.” Chen Qingsheng nodded, “That’s true. Patriarch, do you think those two Butchers might be Bai Jing Zhong and Bai Jing Yi?”

Chen Chufeng shook his head, “Whether they are or not doesn’t matter. As long as we maintain a good relationship with Bai Jing Zhong, don’t think too much about other things, at least not until we figure out their background. That would be courting death.”

Chen Chufeng silently calculated. Based on the abilities displayed by those two armored individuals, the Custodial Bureau could apprehend them. However, the price they would have to pay would be unbearable, and they might even decline completely. If they showed the slightest sign of weakness, countless people in the world would be eager to step on them.

This forced him to be cautious. Moreover, the Custodial Bureau had only just completed the test of the ‘Mental Suppression Force Field,’ and they hadn’t expected someone to be able to use such technology on a large scale already.

Chen Chufeng thought to himself, “Does this world still hide secrets we don’t know? Could there be some hidden organization lurking on the other side of the world?”

He glanced at his watch, stood up, and walked out, “It’s almost time for the meeting. I’ll start the meeting! Inform me immediately if there’s any news about Bai Jing Zhong.”

Chen Qingsheng said, “Okay!”

Nine out of the ten council members of the Summoner Association gathered for an emergency meeting.

Someone looked around and asked, “Where’s Sister Jiang? Why isn’t she here?”

Someone replied, “I heard she’s giving birth to her fourth child and is still at the Moon Maternity Center!”

As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter, “That sister really knows how to have kids.”

Then they got down to business, discussing the Paradise Town incident.

Mid-discussion, Council Member Cao suddenly said, “Do you think these deceased individuals might all be Resistors? I specifically investigated the identities of the deceased, and almost all the Resistors on our association’s records died in this bloody incident.”

Everyone was shocked and suddenly considered this possibility.

For a moment, they exchanged uneasy glances, and then a terrifying figure in black with a hood and a mask suddenly appeared in their minds – the Resistor Butcher?

Council Member Wang said, “I’m more concerned about that Black Crystal Armor. Could it be a high-tech battle suit developed by the Custodial Bureau? Humans could never possess such powerful strength!”

The Custodial Bureau stated they wouldn’t take the blame for this!

…

In just three days, Yashan, with his skillful techniques, finished editing the recorded video and uploaded it to his ‘ResistorsButcher’ account.

This time, he didn’t wear black clothes and a hood. Instead, he appeared as ‘Black Crystal Armor’: ‘My dear, hateful, kind… hello everyone from around the world! I am ‘ResistorsButcher’ Number 000!’

Yashan clenched his fist: ‘As you’ve guessed, the bloody incident in Paradise Town was orchestrated by our ‘ResistorsButcher’ organization… and those we slaughtered one by one were the Resistors gathered in Paradise Town!’

Then, Yashan transformed into a streamer, introducing the crimes of the Resistors, playing the on-site video, and even making all the recordings of those young children public!

At the end of the video, he said: ‘We found this underground factory, but I believe there are definitely more than just this one location around the world, and I, ResistorsButcher 000, will find and destroy them all, one by one! All you Resistors who have escaped death around the world, tremble! Hehehehe!’

As soon as the video was released, people around the world were in an uproar. They had imagined the Resistors’ evil deeds, but they never expected them to be this heinous! In an instant, public opinion sided with ‘ResistorsButcher’, with everyone condemning the Resistors’ crimes and cheering for the actions of ResistorsButcher.

As for the comments still criticizing ‘ResistorsButcher’, they were quickly drowned out by the backlash. Finally, the angry masses, still unsatisfied, dragged the World Federation out to criticize them, saying they were negligent and allowed the Resistors to act with impunity. Some even organized and smashed the World Federation’s sign!

The World Federation stated that they were also powerless. Why smash only their sign and not the Summoner Association’s sign? It’s unfair!

From then on, ‘ResistorsButcher’ became a righteous organization saving the world! Many people started calling themselves ‘ResistorsButcher’ XXX.

Later, due to duplicate numbering, Catalyst reported multiple brawls.

In other words, as long as Yashan nodded, righteous individuals worldwide could immediately join the ‘ResistorsButcher’ organization and become Butcher XXX.

After this incident, Su Hao, the mastermind behind the events, Harmony Yashan, completely withdrew and holed up in Huaiyuan Town, silently continuing his research and studies.
