“If you are looking for evidence, what about the other group?” Zhao Manyan pressed.

“The other group is going to stop the Induction. Isn’t it obvious?” Mu Bai cast a disdainful look at Zhao Manyan. He had noticed the man’s intelligence would drop rapidly whenever he was involved in something risky and challenging.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded and added, “I need more convincing evidence, and it will only appear when the Induction is happening.”

“So we are splitting into two groups. You are going to verify if your speculation is right while we will be waiting at Qinghuangdao. Once you confirm it’s true, we’ll have to stop the Induction immediately. Am I right?” Mo Fan asked for clarity.

“Yes!” Zhang Xiaohou nodded firmly.

Zhao Manyan disagreed with their plan. “But, can’t we just sit this one out? If it’s only a fifty percent chance of it being a trap, we’ll just let it be. Why do we have to insist on getting ourselves killed?”

It was ridiculous! They had finally made it to the Super Level. It was time for them to shine!

They were planning to stop a Forbidden Curse when they had yet to enjoy the benefits of being Super Mages! Was it their job to worry about a Forbidden Curse?

What were the Magic Association of the Five Continents doing? What about the mysterious organizations of their country and the powerful organizations across the world?

“I would like to try my best if possible,” Zhang Xiaohou looked at the others sternly.

“Brother Fan, Brother Zhao, Mu Bai, I…I’m not good with logic and reasoning, nor am I good at organizing information. I can’t even tell if the sea monster was playing with my mind or if it’s actually what I want to do.

“However, I couldn’t allow myself to just stand on the side and watch it happen. I have to find out the truth, whether it’s a trap or not!

“I also believe you guys are the only people with the same thoughts as me.”

Zhang Xiaohou’s thoughts were still in chaos.

The sea monsters were capable of playing with their minds. Yang Xiajie’s lingering soul might also have been fake. The sea monster could be trying to trick him into stopping the Forbidden Curse so the Dragon King Krill could survive.

He had no idea if he was being tricked, or if he was told the truth. He had to find out the truth himself!

“Brother Fan, I don’t know if you can understand me, but… it’s what I’m going to do,” Zhang Xiaohou lowered his head. It was obvious that he felt sorry for involving them.

It was an extremely risky operation. He was basically asking the three to jump into a burning sea with him!

“I understand,” Mo Fan patted Zhang Xiaohou’s shoulder.

“Are you sure you understand? Why can’t I make sense of it!?” Zhao Manyan protested.

“Old Zhao, let me explain it to you in a simpler way. Don’t the criminals in the movies always run away whenever they hear police sirens?” Mo Fan said.

“Why are you bringing that up now?” Zhao Manyan was confused.

“Many people feel confused and scold the police for being stupid. Why do they have to turn on the loud sirens to warn the criminals they are coming? Isn’t that just giving the criminals time to run away?” Mo Fan went on.

Mu Bai and Zhang Xiaohou were looking at Mo Fan with puzzled expressions too. What did this have to do with their situation?

On second thought, the sirens in the movies were indeed unnecessary. The criminals were long gone by the time the police arrived!

“But think about it… the sirens are meant to prevent crimes. If the sirens reach the scene a minute earlier than the police cars do, it might save a victim’s life.

“Although it’s unlikely that the criminals will happen to be killing the victims a minute before the police arrive, the sirens still have a slim chance of scaring the criminals away and saving lives. Therefore, it’s worth it to turn on the sirens.

“After all, they can still catch the criminals again after they escape, but a lost life is gone forever. It’s the best way to preserve human lives.”

Mo Fan patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder again and smiled, “Even if the odds are only a hundred to one instead of a fifty percent chance, you will still try to find out the truth. It’s your way of treasuring human lives.”

As long as they still had a chance, it was worth the try!

Mo Fan was too familiar with Zhang Xiaohou. He had never changed. If Zhang Xiaohou had decided NOT to do anything, Mo Fan might think he had been influenced by the sea monster.

“Let’s do it. From now on, I am your soldier ready to follow any orders from you!” Mo Fan might not be a soldier, but he gave Zhang Xiaohou a proper salute.

Zhang Xiaohou bit his lips and took a deep breath.

When he woke up on the deserted island in despair, Mo Fan was the first person that came to his mind.

There was no need to say anything. They just had to do it. Zhang Xiaohou had no regrets knowing he had a brother like Mo Fan!

“If something goes wrong, we’ll just tell the military tribunal that you were the mastermind,” Mo Fan added firmly.

“…”

“So how are we going to split up? Is Zhang Xiaohou going by himself, while the three of us wait for his news?” Mu Bai asked.

“He’s still injured. He won’t be able to do it himself. We will have two people in each group,” Mo Fan declared.

“Coward Zhao, I’ll let you pick first.” Mu Bai glanced at Zhao Manyan, who was pretending he had nothing to do with all this.

“I’ll go with Mo Fan!” Zhao Manyan immediately picked Mo Fan. After all, Mo Fan still had a chance if he turned on his hacks.

“Mm, fine, we’ll be forcing our way up the Giant Clock Mountain at Qinghuangdao to stop the Induction in front of thousands of Mages and a Forbidden Mage. We should plan the details first. The place will be heavily guarded,” Mo Fan informed him.

Zhao Manyan’s face paled. “Well, after second thought, I think I should go with Zhang Xiaohou. I feel like I’m not good enough for that. I’m just a defensive Mage. I’m not good at destroying things!” He had immediately changed his mind and decided to go with Zhang Xiaohou.

Mu Bai laughed while Zhang Xiaohou looked grim, as if his impression of Zhao Manyan had changed. “It’s decided, then. Mu Bai and I will ambush the Giant Clock Mountain. We’ll wait for your news!”

Zhao Manyan twisted his lips. He still felt like neither of them were a good option. It was like a criminal who had been sentenced to death got to choose between a lever-style guillotine or a falling-style guillotine.

Most people planned to retire after pulling off a huge job.. As for their job, if they did it right, they would find themselves at a dead end. If they failed, they would die horrible deaths!
