Soul Of Negary Chapter 141 - Vol2 Ch39: The 7th Domain, Yue Bu

Chapter 141: Vol2 Ch39: The 7th domain, Yue Bu

Translator: La0o9

〖 There are still too few personnel 〗sitting at the back of an electric car, Negary was contemplating his current situation.

Although the D.E.R division didn’t restrict Negary from spreading his germs, they were still working in the dark to restrict him from expanding his forces. ‘Forces’ here wasn’t referring to Negary Inc. as a whole, but rather the ones who were truly willing to sell their lives for Negary.

At this point in time, other than a portion of people who were secretly acting as Negary’s eyes and ears, officially, the only one who could represent Negary’s fighting force was Killer J. Furthermore, there had already been several attempts at either killing or buying Killer J off.

Because of this, he still needed to go personally in order to collect something of this degree.

Negary shook his head, it wasn’t yet the time to be expanding his forces, the D.E.R division’s strength was a lot greater than they let on, not to mention the power held by the government.

Although their organization might seem too fat to move, that was because the state of disasters wasn’t anything serious enough to be concerned about. More accurately, the situation was still fully under their control, so the majority of their powers were being used for infighting amongst themselves. In a way, they were similar to the Chinese national ping pong a.s.sociation where they didn’t even take an international event as seriously as they do in a county-wide qualifications tournament.

Because of this, they appeared lazy, fat, and useless most of the time.

But if they truly became serious, they would become true terror without a doubt.

Negary had the patience to acc.u.mulate his strength and wait, and he naturally knew the necessity of preliminary preparations.

〖 The 7th domain, the place used to be called Yue Bu. As an area that was reconstructed after a great disaster, there are many memorial-worthy ruins there 〗

Negary was recalling the information he obtained for this trip. As the previous center of a disaster, there were very few Yue Bu native left there at this point. The majority of the people there right now were those who moved within the last 16 years, the majority of survivors from the Yue Bu disaster had left this nightmarish place they once called home.

And from what Killer J learnt from Li Ching Yu’s memories, the hidden organization called [Survivors] was built right here within Yue Bu, which was currently known as the 7th domain.

Most of this organization’s members were survivors of the Yue Bu earthquake, due to unknown reasons, they now held a considerable grudge against the D.E.R division and the government, while also holding certain unique characteristics in their hands; like for example, having a copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet. There was even a rumor that [Survivors] held the method to artificially create Authority Holders.

〖 From the looks of it, the Yue Bu earthquake wasn’t quite simple after all 〗

Negary thought.

The event known as the Yue Bu earthquake occurred 16 years ago, when the Holder of the grade E Authority [Earthquake], Yu Guang Ming, instigated for the sake of promoting his own Authority from [Earthquake] to [Continental Sinking]

His Authority’s promotion caused considerably more commotion compared to Ye Kong. The only thing Ye Kong actually did was cause a relatively big buzz on the internet, as well as the destruction of a portion of the 5th and 6th domain’s buildings.

The event caused a total of over 5,000 deaths and over 23,000 injured people. Its social impact might have been great, but quite a bit of casualties from this was also caused by Li Ching Yu’s [Violence from Public Opinion] Authority.

Compared to other disasters, this level of casualties and injuries was considerable, but when compared to the Yue Bu earthquake, it was nothing but a small blip on the radar.

The Yue Bu earthquake, with Yue Bu as its center, spread to and affected even the areas around it, totaling at 1,600,000 deaths and up to 10,000,000 injured.

At the time, if Yu Guang Ming’s Authority promotion wasn’t interrupted, the number of deaths would have easily increased to ten-fold, perhaps even a hundred-fold. If a continental sinking had occurred, the number of people that actually survived on this continent would become pathetically few.

Most records of this event weren’t very clearly doc.u.mented on the internet. Other sources like history textbooks taught this event in relatively more details, but there were still a lot of unanswered questions.

For example, why did Yu Guang Ming suddenly decide to promote his Authority out of nowhere? Who was the person who interrupted Yu Guang Ming’s Authority promotion? A lot of questions like this were left largely unanswered by any sources.

Quite obviously, the [Survivors] organization held the corresponding information in their hands.

〖 A copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, the method to become an Authority Holder; how did [Survivors] obtain these things in the first place? Could it be that they were related to the Yue Bu earthquake all those years ago? 〗Negary laid each of these questions out one by one at the back of his head.

Eventually, he would resolve them all, but he needed to be careful of this [Survivors] organization. After all, the other party was able to cause such a large event despite being right under the D.E.R division’s supervision and yet still managed to escape unharmed. This could only mean that they either had exceptional hiding skills, or they had something that even the D.E.R division had to be wary of.

〖 It seems I’ll need some people to act as minesweepers〗

Sitting at the back of the electric car, Negary was smiling as he slowly tapped his finger in a strange rhythm.

“Mister w.a.n.g, how rare to see you go out” Negary’s driver was one of his employees, so he greeted him with a smile.

Over half of Negary’s time was spent either reading, or conducting various experiments in his lab, so it was truly rare for him to go anywhere.

〖 Ah, that’s because I found that Yue Bu had quite a bit of interesting knowledge 〗Negary replied: 〖 When it comes to knowledge, my interest is second to none 〗

“Mister w.a.n.g sure does like to study” the driver flattered him a bit, then didn’t say anything else.

A lot of the time, you might believe your actions to be of your own volition, but in reality, most of them were influenced by circ.u.mstances instead.

Through his guidance, Negary could make certain people become more daring and more likely to take the initiative, for example, allowing a spy to believe that they had a chance and ask him a few questions.

The information Negary provided would then be very vague, but it was precisely due to this vagueness that made it seem even more genuine than not.

Chang Xia was a smart person, and he was most likely a survivor of the Yue Bu earthquake. From his current age, it could be inferred that 16 years ago, he was only a young adult.

There weren’t actually many details regarding Chang Xia at all. As the section chief of the 6th domain’s D.E.R division, he was, without any doubt, a considerable VIP with very real authority. At certain points, his authority might even exceed that of the 6th domain’s acting chairman.

At the same time, among the other D.E.R division section chiefs, he was the youngest. Within the government, ability was crucial to climb to a high position, but sometimes, even if your ability and contributions were more than enough for a job, you might not necessarily climb too high.

Qualifications simply required time to brew. As the youngest section chief of the D.E.R division, Chang Xia’s were decent, but nowhere near enough to break the established rules, which meant that the only possible explanation for his current position was undeniably great contributions.

Compared to the fact that he had lived through Yue Bu, it was likely that our section chief Chang wasn’t quite as fragile and weak as he might seem.

Because of this, the fact that Negary openly said he wanted to obtain some sort of knowledge from Yue Bu would definitely rouse Chang Xia’s suspicion.

〖 So, show me your reaction, Chang Xia 〗

Negary thought as he looked outside the window of his car. Right next to the road was a large river, a part of the landscape created from the Yue Bu earthquake disaster many years ago.

From the looks of those people happily rowing boats and playing by the river, they must have surely forgotten just how many corpses were cleaned out from that crevice back then.

…

Back in the 6th domain, as soon as Chang Xia received this information, his eyes became extremely sharp, the same sharpness it had back when he held that blade in the past.
