The Seventh Base

Chapter 1152: Chapter 198: Abyss King?

In the classroom, the children gradually filed out. Someone looked towards a young man in the corner and shouted, “Goodbye, Uncle Lin.”

“Uncle Lin, aren’t you leaving?”

“Uncle Lin, why have you been here every day lately? Don’t you have to work?”

The children in the classroom were of various ages, and a little girl stood in front of the young man and asked curiously.

The young man looked to be just over twenty, appearing very youthful. He wore white clothes and had clean, short hair. In this Abyss Land, he exuded an aura of sunshine, making people feel clean and comfortable.

“Of course, I have to work.” The young man patted the girl’s head and smiled, “I’ve just had some free time recently to come and see Xiao Ai.”

“Uncle Lin is so nice.” The girl smiled happily, took out a snack from her pocket, and handed it to the young man, saying, “Uncle Lin, have some.”

“Thank you, Xiao Ai.” The young man smiled warmly, and the girl immediately skipped out of the classroom to play with her friends.

The young man then approached the teacher and said with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work, sir.”

The middle-aged teacher nodded without saying much.

“But why such a heavy punishment? He’s still just a child, after all.” The young man asked curiously.

“Since he believed that the fist is reason, then applying the logic he understands makes him not feel wronged, doesn’t it? Otherwise, wouldn’t he be denying himself?” The middle-aged teacher responded, “Besides, he’s not that young anymore.”

The young man nodded and asked, “Then what about those who invade the Abyss, those who kill in the Abyss?”

“They’re the same.” The teacher replied, “So, when the day comes that the Abyss Corps stand before them, they shouldn’t feel wronged either, because it’s something they themselves have done before.”

“True.” The young man nodded, “People never think they’re wrong in what they do, but when others treat them the same way, they can’t accept it. The selfishness of human nature is etched in their bones.”

“That’s why we need discipline.” The middle-aged teacher said, “Otherwise, even if the Abyss goes out and changes its fate, it will still enter another abyss, endlessly cycling.”

“I deeply agree.” The young man nodded with a smile, then stood up and said, “Sir, you should rest too.”

With that, the young man stood up and walked out.

Outside the classroom, Montis quietly followed the young man.

The Moluo controlled by Xu Mo also followed behind Montis, but at this moment, his heart was in turmoil.

Who exactly was this young man attending classes in the classroom?

In the Abyss Corps, who could make one of the twelve War Generals like Montis follow obediently behind?

He felt he might have encountered a leader of the Abyss Corps.

However, it was nothing like what he imagined. The man in white gave an extremely gentle impression, without a hint of pressure, nor any sense of energy waves on him.

“Did you finish reading the book?” The man in white asked.

“No… I finished.” Montis seemed a bit flustered.

“Did you or did you not finish it?” The man in white glanced back. Montis immediately lowered his head, not daring to hide anything, and said, “Sir, I really couldn’t read it; it’s just too difficult.”

“But I had my subordinate read it; he must remember it.”

Montis turned back to Moluo, or rather Xu Mo, and said, “Moluo.”

Xu Mo: “……”

So, was he supposed to take the blame?

Xu Mo felt he had been set up by Montis.

Montis shot him a threatening look and asked, “Did you finish reading it?”

“I finished it.” Xu Mo replied.

“How many articles are in the Empire’s First Charter?” The young man asked Xu Mo.

“Seventeen articles.” Xu Mo responded.

The young man turned back to look at him and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Sir, I am called Moluo.” Xu Mo lowered his head.

“Montis, you’ll stay here for the next few days to study, and Moluo, you’ll supervise him,” the young man said.

Montis was momentarily stunned and glanced at Xu Mo with eyes full of intimidation.

Xu Mo: “……”

The young man continued walking ahead, with Montis following.

“Scram,” the young man said in a low voice.

Montis immediately stopped and watched the man leave.

“Study?” Montis whispered to himself, and silently cursed in his heart, “Damn!”

This was simply more agonizing than killing him.

“General,” Xu Mo softly called out from the side.

“Scram…”

Montis spat out the word at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo turned and left.

“You’re really leaving?” Montis glared with eyes full of murderous intent.

Xu Mo: “……”

Damn!

But outwardly, he showed a look of grievance.

“Did you really finish reading the book?” Montis asked with a strange expression.

“Actually, I’ve only seen a little bit, and what that gentleman asked about was just the part I saw in the beginning,” Xu Mo said, as Montis widened his eyes. This little bastard dared to deceive that gentleman?

He felt a chill all over and was about to lose his temper.

“General, even if you want to kill me, please don’t make it so difficult for me,” Xu Mo’s acting was extremely proficient.

Seeing his expression, Montis’s anger dissipated by half, then he exhaled and patted Xu Mo on the shoulder, saying, “Let’s learn together.”

A shared hardship indeed.

“……” Xu Mo felt a bit disoriented inside. He thought coming to the demon’s den, he would face nothing but killing, bloodshed, and violence.

In the end, he was taken to school, to study with a group of children?

This world is a bit chaotic.

His heart was a bit chaotic too.

Is this really the Abyss?

As a result, Xu Mo was indeed left here to study.

Attending classes with children, listening to lectures, taking notes…

The middle-aged teacher here was very knowledgeable. His teachings were not limited to textbooks but also included vast knowledge and interesting stories about the universe, which were very captivating, and many of the stories also contained philosophical insights that unconsciously influenced the children.

The man in white rarely appeared and came over only once afterward.

Xu Mo tentatively asked Montis about the identity of that man in white. Montis ignored him, telling him not to ask questions he shouldn’t.

Xu Mo speculated that someone who could command such respect from War General Montis might very well be the legendary Abyss King, or at least a significant figure beside the Abyss King.

However, if it truly was the Abyss King, the contrast with the imagination was too great.

In his previous imagination, the Abyss King should have been like Montis, or even more exaggerated, with a height of five or six meters, a menacing figure akin to a Demon-level being.

Yet, could it truly be a gentle and refined young man?

If it were, it would be a bit mind-boggling.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo also roughly understood what this area was.

On the Dark Star, chaos and violence were everywhere, and the intelligence from the Mystic God Temple was not mistaken; the order of the Abyss had not been fully established.

However, this area belonged to a living zone where all crimes and violence were prohibited. Everyone in this area had to abide by its rules, including those leaders of the Abyss Corps who, upon entering here, had to behave themselves as well.

This made Xu Mo feel like this was more of an experimental zone within the Abyss. Establishing order here might lead to this area expanding in the future, influencing the entire Dark Star.

He realized that after hundreds of years of wild growth, the Abyss had begun exploring civilization.

Xu Mo pondered a question: Is a barbaric Abyss more powerful, or is a civilized Abyss more threatening?

Of course, the threat did not concern him.

In the universe, he was just confined to a small place, the Skull Star Domain, and the star domain where Byron Star was located.

Two more War Generals came to the school, both strong entities like Montis among the twelve War Generals.

However, after arriving at the school, they all behaved themselves.

They knew the history of this area and also knew that the gentleman wasn’t playing games with them. At the beginning, an Abyss leader didn’t take the rules here seriously and killed someone.

Afterwards, he was executed.

The execution of an Abyss War General sent shockwaves; after that, no one dared to commit an offense again.

On this day, three figures walked toward the school.

Two adults leading a child.

“Is this the place?” Asaka looked at the school and spoke.

“It should be,” Wu Lai nodded.

After Xu Mo and Zero went out to complete their mission, they also inquired about Gaia’s news. As the outside world became increasingly chaotic, they didn’t find news about Gaia, but they learned quite a bit about the Abyss and also knew about this place.

They encountered Shava again, the girl they met upon arriving at the Dark Star, and thus were moved by compassion, bringing her here.

“I heard this school takes in children, it should be true. I didn’t expect such a place to exist in the Abyss,” Wu Lai was a little surprised. To conceal their identities, he and Asaka played the role of a couple, and neither of them wore armor, appearing as original inhabitants of the Dark Star.

“Let’s go in,” the two entered the school.

When Xu Mo walked out of the classroom, he saw Wu Lai and Asaka, who were talking to the school staff, preparing to leave Shava at the school.

Upon seeing Shava, he immediately understood what was happening, only he didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that both he and his senior brother Wu Lai and Asaka arrived at this school.

However, Xu Mo wasn’t worried as both Wu Lai and Asaka came as ordinary people, not wearing armor, and were merely bringing a child here.

Simultaneously, based on Xu Mo’s understanding of this area, there shouldn’t be any danger.

After the handover, Wu Lai and Asaka turned to leave. Xu Mo didn’t reveal himself to them, as exposing his identity could be troublesome.

“Asaka, this is the last time,” Wu Lai said.

“Hmm.” Asaka nodded, “I understand.”

Such matters, they couldn’t manage too much. They still had their own tasks to complete, and it wasn’t entirely safe within the Abyss either.

“Brother and sister.” At this time, Shava turned around and called out.

“Hey…” Wu Lai responded, turned around, and saw the girl was in tears. She wiped her eyes and gave Wu Lai and Asaka a sweet smile. Her frail face, dark skin, yet her smile was particularly healing.

“Thank you, will you visit Shava often?” the girl asked while smiling with tears.

“Okay.” Wu Lai agreed with a smile, but internally cursed, “Damn!”

He had just contradicted himself.

“Hmm.” Asaka also nodded. Shava’s smile grew brighter under the sun, and as Asaka watched the girl’s leaving silhouette, she turned her gaze to Wu Lai, revealing a beaming smile that seemed to disperse the gloom of the Dark Star.
