Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 305 The Great Purge

Lin Qiong's forceful intervention shocked everyone present, and the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent.

Especially the cleaners, when they witnessed their companions turn into ashes before their eyes, were so frightened that they took several steps back and dared not go any further.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Dan Heng nodded, his voice steady as usual, a clear look of approval flashing in his eyes.

But when he glanced around and didn't see another figure, the ease that had just appeared on his face vanished without a trace.

Dan Heng looked at Lin Qiong again and asked in confusion, "Where's Xing? Didn't she come with you?"

"Well, that's a long story."

Lin Qiong shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness, "To put it simply, Xia Die took her to the underworld."

"They say that only there can her soul return to her body."

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng frowned, his lips moved, and he was about to ask further questions.

But Katniss's angry rebuke suddenly rang out, interrupting him before he could finish speaking.

"Who exactly are you? How dare you trespass into the Demigod Council!"

Katniss put one hand on her hip, raised her right hand and pointed at Lin Qiong with a furious expression, looking like an enraged tigress.

But then, she suddenly swung her right arm, pointing it directly at the surrounding audience seats, and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"And you bunch of useless cowards, what kind of work are you doing? You can't even keep an eye on one person?"

The reason she vented her anger everywhere was clearly because Lin Qiong's appearance disrupted her carefully prepared plans.

According to Katniss's original plan, the next step should have been for Aglaia to die in front of her, and then the Senate would naturally take over the rule of Ohma.

But now, because of this damn intruder, everything is ruined!

Katniss grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her expression became increasingly gloomy.

After a long pause, she roared, "Go and capture that intruder! Kill him or leave him!"

Upon hearing Katniss's roar, the Cleansers who had formed a circle around her instantly sprang into action.

They immediately broke up their current formation and scattered in all directions, attacking Lin Qiong from all sides with daggers in hand.

Among the group of cleaners, one person was exceptionally agile, and he arrived in front of Lin Qiong in just a few leaps.

Lin Qiong took a closer look and immediately noticed that the person in front of him was significantly different from the other cleaners.

Generally speaking, the masks worn by ordinary cleaners are mostly gray-black iron masks.

The daggers they held were just ordinary items that could be found anywhere in a blacksmith's shop.

But the person in front of me was different; the half of his mask was actually made of gold.

Moreover, even the blade of the dagger in his hand was engraved with intricate golden patterns.

"Elite... or someone at the level of a captain?"

Lin Qiong narrowed his eyes, looking at the other party's agile movements, and had already made a rough guess in his mind.

Just as he was deep in thought, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out!

A dagger, brimming with murderous intent, was aimed straight at his throat!

call out!

The cold light pierced the air like lightning.

At this moment, the distance between the dagger and Lin Qiong had shrunk to less than half a meter!

"Die!"

The cleanser wearing the golden mask let out a low shout, and the dagger in his hand accelerated again, as if it would pierce through Lin Qiong in the next second.

But just as the cleaner thought victory was assured and, as usual, prematurely revealed a cruel smile, he was about to...

Lin Qiong's calm voice clearly reached his ears.

"Has no one taught you not to interrupt other people's train of thought?"

As he spoke, the Calamity Annihilation in Lin Qiong's hand seemed to be awakened, and it suddenly burst out with a terrifyingly high-temperature flame.

"What!?"

Seeing the burst of red light before him, the smile on the cleaner's face froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Immediately afterwards, the horrific scene of his companions turning to ashes in the flames flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

"Do not!!!"

With a roar of defiance, blazing flames surged forth, instantly engulfing him entirely.

In less than half a second, a charred and deformed golden mask fell from the sea of ​​fire and crashed to the ground with a thud.

But the owner who wore it had already been completely melted away in the flames...

Seeing this horrifying scene, all the purgers who came to assassinate Lin Qiong stopped in their tracks.

"How...how is this possible!"

One of the cleaners exclaimed in a trembling voice, his tone filled with disbelief, "The captain... he's dead!"

This exclamation was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing the other cleaners to shout "Impossible!"

They simply couldn't accept the fact that their captain was dead!

Driven by fear, their bodies moved backward uncontrollably, their steps quickening as they rapidly distanced themselves from Lin Qiong.

It seemed that the power Lin Qiong possessed was more terrifying to them than the death of their captain.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Seeing the cleansers retreating in panic, Kaine was instantly enraged and immediately issued a stern order, "Stop right there! None of you are allowed to retreat!"

"Think carefully about your so-called 'Golden Age'! As long as the Senate rules Ohmar, there will be no more death, and everyone will gain eternal life!"

"But you're going to back down because of this little bit of fear? What kind of behavior is that!"

Upon hearing Katniss's words, all the Cleansers instantly stopped retreating, their eyes regaining their fanaticism.

"Yes...yes! Lady Katniss is right. As long as we can return to the prosperous 'Golden Age,' none of us will die!"

In the crowd, a burly cleaner raised his dagger, raised his arm and shouted, then turned and ran wildly in the direction of Lin Qiong.

As he ran, he roared, "For eternal life! For the Golden Age!"

Seeing this, the other cleaners, like bombs that had been lit, shouted slogans like "For the Golden Age!" and rushed towards Lin Qiong.

"Ms. Aglaia, I have something to ask you."

Lin Qiong ignored the Cleansers surging towards him like a dark cloud and turned to look at Aglaia.

"If I clear out that group of people, it shouldn't have any impact on the city, right?"

“No.” Aglaia shook her head slightly and replied calmly, “On the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of this group of people that Ohmma is heading towards decline.”

After listening to Aglaia's words, Lin Qiong nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“In that case, I will get rid of these parasites for Ohmma.”

After saying that, he slowly turned around to face the group of Cleansers who were surging in like a tide, and the Calamity Annihilation in his hand also emitted an extremely hot aura.
