I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 208 The Monster Cult

Chu Yunfan calculated. The training camp would be over the span of two months. When the training camp ended, it would be almost time for the college entrance exams-about a month to be precise.

After Hua Chengtian said a few more words, he dismissed the students.

Xue Bailong caught up with Chu Yunfan.

“Chu Yunfan, don’t leave yet. I have something to discuss with you.”

The two of them went to the school lounge and sat opposite each other.

“I don’t know why you’re looking for me, Lieutenant Xue. Don’t tell me that you want me to join the army. For the time being, I haven’t thought about joining.”

Chu Yunfan immediately blocked Xue Bailong.

“You brat, you really…” Xue Bailong could not help but say, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t worry, I didn’t come looking for you to recruit you as a soldier. I have something else to tell you.”

As Xue Bailong spoke, he became solemn.

“It’s about the Monster Cult.”

When Chu Yunfan heard this, he immediately put away his lazy expression and instantly became serious. He knew that anything related to the Monster Cult was not a trivial matter. Moreover, this cult had targeted his sister, so he was very sensitive toward them.

“Lieutenant Xue, please go on.”

Xue Bailong paused for a moment and then said, “You’ve heard about the intensive training camp from your principal just now. What if I tell you that the cult might be involved?”

“What?!” Chu Yunfan was a little shocked.

The training camp would include all the top students of Calm Ocean City-the top twenty students of every school. If something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. “You should understand how dangerous this is,” Xue Bailong said.

“Since there’s such a danger, why is it still being held?” Chu Yunfan asked.

Xue Bailong looked at Chu Yunfan. He said, “Because it’s impossible to stop. To the Federation Government, the cult is equivalent to terrorists of the Common Era. We can’t compromise with them. They’ll only become more rampant. If there’s a first time, there’ll be a second time, a third, and a fourth. Should we let go of everything just because we’re afraid of this threat? That’s impossible. So even though we know that there’s a risk, we still have to continue with this training camp.”

Chu Yunfan immediately understood. Within human society, if one person died, it would become a major case. If ten died, it too would be a major case. If a hundred died, that would also be a major case. However, if thousands died, it would just be a string of numbers. The Federation Government could not compromise with the Monster Cult just because of these students. Otherwise, the cult would not be restrained and would only become even bolder.

Based on the current attitude of the Federation Government, they would fight the Monster Cult as soon as they reared their head. If they appeared, they would fight. If they dared to appear, they would be beaten to death!

Even if it cost all the students in Calm Ocean City, it would not matter. Even if this batch of students were annihilated, there would be another batch of students to replace them the next year. It would not have much of an impact. Moreover, Calm Ocean City was just a satellite city of Donghua City. It meant almost next to nothing.

Chu Yunfan suddenly realized that this matter was one of the biggest secrets among secrets. Now that he knew of it, he could not turn a blind eye.

Seeing Chu Yunfan’s reaction, Xue Bailong could not help but laugh. He had tricked Chu Yunfan. It felt really great. Who asked Chu Yunfan to always look like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand? He was really too annoying!

“Does that mean that I have no choice?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Of course, you have no choice. This matter was caused by you,” Xue Bailong said.

“Caused by me? What does it have to do with me? Am I being implicated?” Chu Yunfan could not help but say, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Of course, it has to do with you. Do you remember how the cult kidnapped your sister?” Xue Bailong said.

“What does that have to do with this?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Of course, it has everything to do with this. Because of you, the army followed the cult’s tracks and captured a large number of its members. Even the branch leader in Calm Ocean City was killed by me personally. After that, the cult within the city changed to another group of people and another leader was parachuted in. This fellow is ambitious and wishes to make a career out of this. He also wants to get revenge on us for wising them out. That’s why this operation was carried out. Do you still think this has anything to do with you?” Xue Bailong said with a smile.

Chu Yunfan could not help but roll his eyes. “This is a correlation, not causation!”

This sounded reasonable. If it were not for Chu Yunfan, this series of events would not have occurred. However, Xue Bailong’s words made it seem like without Chu Yunfan, the cult would have followed the rules, stayed obedient, and not caused trouble.

“Although I don’t know where you got this information from, this kind of information should be confidential, right? And you told me just like that?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Of course, it’s not without reason. We thought it over carefully before coming to you,” Xue Bailong said.

“So why have you decided to come looking for me? With my strength, I’m afraid I’m not a match for the cult,” Chu Yunfan said.

“It’s impossible for you to fight them head-on. Let me be clear. We suspect that there are spies among the students, so we hope you guys can help us pay attention during the training camp. There are many things that we can’t interfere with, and we’re wary of alerting the enemy,” Xue Bailong finally said in a serious tone.

“You guys? There are others besides me?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“Of course. You’re not the only one who has come to me with such an important matter,” Xue Bailong said matter-of-factly.

“Be careful. If you feel that something is off, contact me,” Xue Bailong said, “If you hadn’t known about the cult, then you would not have to care. Now that you know, we can’t let the cult get away so easily. We must make them pay!”

As Xue Bailong spoke, a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes!

“All right, if there’s anything, remember to inform me. I still have things to do. See you in half a month,” Xue Bailong said.

Xue Bailong left after making Chu Yunfan promise to keep this matter a secret.

Chu Yunfan’s expression turned grave. Xue Bailong’s words had rung a warning bell within him. This year’s intensive training camp would not be so simple. The cult and the army had their plans. A fierce battle was bound to break out at the training camp.

And with Chu Yunfan’s current strength, be it the cult or the army, they were both behemoths to him. He had to be even more careful as he was now sandwiched between these two behemoths.

However, he had no choice. Because of his sister, he was destined to be unable to coexist peacefully with the cult. Besides that, the fact that the cult wanted to subvert humanity was something that Chu Yunfan could not tolerate.

“Since there’s no other choice, let the storm come!”
