Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 558  Entrance Examination Preparations Begin!

Puffing out a thick whiff of smoke, Obediah stared at Old Gia deeply. "Tell me the truth… Is the end near? Don't kid with us. We heard what those monsters said. They said humanity has only a year and 7~9 months more to go before we perish." Obediah suddenly felt that all their battles against other humans seemed small compared to the issue at hand. War with other countries? Proving the best by performing in global competitions… all these didn't mean a thing if the end was near. Those who hadn't even married yet, those who have been single dogs, couldn't help thinking of their lives.

Old Gia nodded his head expressionlessly, "Indeed, the end is near, but…" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Gia paused. "They don't know, we are not so defenseless." Everyone clenched their fists, secretly swearing that they must keep their lips sealed, lest some passing creature gets a whiff of the news.

It seems that they grandmaster generally doesn't care if the news gets out of not, but they do. For this, the fact that the enemy didn't know that humanity was building up its forces, meant they had a hidden hard up their sleeves.

Yes! For now, they must act as if they are blind to these creatures. In the meantime, how do they ensure that the ones they give their reports to aren't monsters in disguise? Didn't Old Gia say that some of these monsters, like the Princes of Hell, actually hold rich and powerful positions in this world? But that wasn't all. Did you hear that Old Gia's team have destroyed some devious monsters that even took on the forms of babies, average looking people and even dogs? What? Even a fish in the seas could be dangerous? Suddenly, they felt there was no place they could go to be completely safe with the End coming. The most terrifying thing to them, was knowing that even something as simple as their shadows, wished to kill, drag and switch aces with them. "So, our shadows are recording our every move when we walk and know everything about us, including our weaknesses?" "Yes." "_"

…

Terrible!!!

Who updated their version of the world overnight without telling them? Old Gia only discussed this matter with them, and not those loud mouths like Eldora and the other greedy bunch. Speaking of them… several military leaders quickly reached out to their most trusted superiors, didn't say much about the matter, but were quick to secure clearance to keep those here from their countries in custody and complete hold once they touch their country's soil. No matter how powerful and rich their parents were, no one will stop these leaders from keeping everyone hostage on military grounds, ensuring no word of what they saw here gets out. Thankfully, they had long seized Eldora and everyone's phones when leaving the tomb. "I trust you all have high enough positions and ways to get yourselves to the upcoming global military competitions…. Go there, and your problems will be settled." Yes! If they can go there, dragging some of their leaders with them, proving to have answers to why they refused to release these people from military hold, then wouldn't their actions be justified then? (^-^)

"You! You poor bastards! How dare you take them? Where are my phones? Give all 4 of them back to me now! I swear, my daddy will have your head for this!!!"

Well, speak of the devil. Eldora was already fighting through the guards restricting her from leaving her tent. From now till the end of the world, she might live in military custody till his matter completely comes to an end. With that, most had peaceful nights, except for those under guard who couldn't even move an inch out of their tents throughout the night. Bohania was no better, threatening to bring hailstones and thunderstorms if they didn't let him contact those in the outside world. 'No! No! No! I can never come out of this a loser,' Bohania thought, feeling his blood run dry when recalling how all the wealth in the tomb all turned to hideous objects.

Was this fair? Was any of this fair? All he wanted was riches and fame. All he wanted was to be hailed by the masses as one of the people who ventured into Hotanzi's tomb and came out a hero. So the moment he knew they would not be taking any wealth out to brag about to the reporters and the outside world, his mind was already thinking of not gaining fame through other means. .

Bohania's eyes turned vicious.

Think about it. It was impossible for anyone to believe his adventurers he had in here, and might even think he was in need of psychiatric help. But what if… what if he made a deal with an underworld creature and borrowed some of its powers to begin exposing the truth right to everyone's faces? Yes, Bohania didn't mind signing a deal with these underworld creatures. He heard all these creatures said before getting exorcized. They swore they could bring fame, wealth, women and true power. It would be a lie to say Bohania wasn't interested and greedy when he heard their offers. Why?... Why wasn't it offered to him instead? Bohania had no tears but wanted to cry. Looking at how tightly the guards surrounded his tent, he already knew they weren't going to let him have contact with the outer world for a while. What to do? What to do? Bohania bit his fingernails, scheming and making escape plots in his mind. He knew that his only chance of escape was anytime before entering military grounds. The airport, the roads… provided they haven't touched Military soil yet, he still had a chance to escape! (*^*)

…

Like so, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse was finally taken care of by Dorian and his group. 1 down, 3 more to go! The next day, Dorian was back in the air. The day for the Academy's second Entrance Examinations was fast approaching. So how could he stay back any longer?
