IUD-CHAPTER 157 COMPLETION

By the time all the Aragami had left the Russian Branch, it was already half an hour later, as Hibari had predicted.

What remained was a Russian Branch reduced to ruins.

This time, the damage suffered by the Russian Branch was extremely severe.

Not to mention anything else, nearly half of the territory alone had been destroyed by the Aragami, leaving only the main area and its surrounding regions.

As for casualties, they could only be described as heavy.

Due to Rollins Wright's plan, it seemed that the higher-ups of the Russian Branch had not taken this Aragami attack seriously, resulting in uneven distribution of forces in different regions and, ultimately, a large number of deaths and injuries.

Fortunately, there were not many civilian casualties.

After all, even if it was just for show, on the day when the Aragami army was at the gates of the Russian Branch, the Russian Branch had to arrange for the civilians to take shelter.

Therefore, civilian casualties were relatively low, and it was mainly the higher-ups of the Russian Branch who had underestimated the severity of this attack who paid the price.

As a result, even the God Eater troops that arrived later suffered a significant number of casualties, dealing a severe blow to the Russian Branch.

According to Amamiya Rindou, all of this would be considered the responsibility of the Branch Director of the Russian Branch. Fenrir headquarters would remove him from his position and send him back for judgment.

Regarding this, Fang Li could only say it serves him right.

The Russian Branch was responsible for the current situation, and the Branch Director of the Russian Branch should take half of the responsibility.

After all, this person had conspired with Rollins Wright, concealed the secret of Eros, and ultimately led to the dire situation the Russian Branch faced.

Now that Rollins Wright had been killed by Fang Li, it was only natural for the Branch Director to bear full responsibility.

Afterward, Fenrir would appoint a new Branch Director to initiate the reconstruction of the Russian Branch.

Of course, that no longer had much to do with Fang Li.

After about an hour of rest, Fang Li's fatigue and weakness had finally diminished somewhat. Although he hadn't fully recovered to a combat-ready state, he was at least able to walk.

Having reached this level of recovery, Fang Li found Amamiya Rindou on the defensive wall surrounding the Russian Branch, which had turned into ruins.

Amamiya Rindou stood with his back to the sunlight in the sky, smoking a cigarette and gazing at the Russian Branch which had been reduced to a sea of ruins. Sensing someone approaching from behind, he spoke in a low voice.

"This is truly a disaster."

Hearing this, Fang Li approached Amamiya Rindou's side and also gazed at the ruins, his expression surprisingly calm.

"You should be grateful that in this disaster, at least there were no civilian casualties," Fang Li spoke indifferently. "Otherwise, the true disaster would be the unfathomable deaths caused by the ambitions of a group of stupid higher-ups."

"Well, you're right," Amamiya Rindou muttered as he smoked, seemingly talking to himself. "After all, even the support sent by our Far East branch has dwindled down to just a few of us."

"As long as there are people, it's not bad," Fang Li said and tossed his touchscreen panel to Amamiya Rindou.

"It's all in there. I've copied numerous confidential files from the Russian Branch, including the report on the Eros plan. I believe that with these, you can consider the investigation mission entrusted to you by the Far East branch as completed."

Listening to Fang Li's words, Amamiya Rindou accepted the touchscreen panel without checking its contents. She patted Fang Li's shoulder and said, "Once again, Thanks for your help."

"I didn't do it for you," Fang Li chuckled as he spoke. "In that case, can we consider my mission completed as well?"

"Of course," Amamiya Rindou spread out his hands and said, "But there's still a lot of aftermaths to deal with. I would be very happy if you could continue to assist us."

"Unfortunately, I am also very busy," Fang Li smiled faintly and said without a trace of emotion in his eyes, "From now on, I probably won't continue to act together with all of you. You have to work hard on your own."

These words left Amamiya Rindou in silence.

Taking a gentle puff of smoke, Amamiya Rindou continued to gaze at the distant ruins. It was only after a long time that she asked a question.

"Who are you really?"

This question instantly brought a heavy atmosphere to the surroundings.

However, Fang Li didn't find it strange. On the contrary, it was only after Amamiya Rindou asked this question that he felt a sense of relief.

After all, Amamiya Rindou naturally should have such doubts.

According to the Main God's Dimension, Fang Li's assigned identity was that of an ordinary soldier from the Far East branch.

But all along the way, Fang Li's performance was far from that of an ordinary soldier.

Despite not being a God Eater, he possessed physical abilities comparable to a God Eater.

Despite not having a God Arc, he could kill an Aragami.

Furthermore, even Aphrodite fell under Fang Li's strike. All these performances indicated that Fang Li was by no means an ordinary soldier.

Even if this identity was arranged by the Main God's Dimension, if Amamiya Rindou returned to the Far East branch, he would surely be able to find Fang Li's personal file. That file would not have any issues, but nothing was absolute.

When Fang Li's performance didn't match his assigned identity, suspicions would arise and persist. Moreover, some might even believe that Fang Li had been an undercover agent hiding in the Far East branch all this time. But that wasn't necessarily the case.

Identities could be forged as well.

In this way, if Amamiya Rindou didn't have such doubts, that would be strange.

Now, Amamiya Rindou had asked the question directly, and that was normal. Fang Li had no reason to be surprised.

However, Fang Li also had no reason to explain himself to Amamiya Rindou.

Matters related to the Main God's Dimension could not be revealed to Plot Characters. Otherwise, rewards would be deducted based on the severity of the breach.

Therefore, Fang Li only said such a line.

"I'm just a passerby. Although I may have an impact on this world, I'm still just passing through."

Having said that, Fang Li turned around and walked in another direction.

Only then did Amamiya Rindou turn back and watch Fang Li's figure gradually disappear into the distance, letting out a helpless sigh.

"Mysterious from beginning to end."

Under Amamiya Rindou's gaze, Fang Li left his sight.

Immediately, the system's notification sound started to ring in Fang Li's mind.

"Completed A-Rank Side Quest. Gained 10,000 Exchange Points."

"Completed A-Rank Side Quest. Gained 10 Free Attribute Points."

"Choosing to return will proceed with Quest evaluation and reward collection."

"Choosing to stay, you can remain in the Dungeon World for an additional three days."
