The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1409

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 9

…

Soon, the two arrive in an area where many soldiers are training. The place looks like a remote area for the military and it is located about 20 meters deep underground.

Xin Ja could also tell that the whole structure is being supported by a large formation array spell but the main foundation of the structure is from several arcs made of steel.

He did not know how it was manufactured, but from the way he looks at it, it looks modern and complex.

The soldiers inside this huge cavern are training and practicing and some of them are even able to cast simple spells.

"This is one of the secret training bases of the military. When I awakened as an A-Rank and gained back a part of my memory from the other side. I have already noticed the danger that the portal poses in the current world… So I and a few A-Ranks decided to build this…" Cohan Vale began to explain.

Xin Ja, on the side, just listened to his words.

The two soon arrive in a 2 story building and were greeted by the few staff in there.

From the way that Xin Ja looks at it, in this place, the soldier with the lowest cultivation is E-Rank, and the rest are either D or C ranks.

He suddenly wonders why most of these people did not join the hunt at that time.

Sensing the confusion in his eyes, Cohan Vale chuckled and then patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

"We cannot expose this place yet… Most people only know that this place as a prison camp. But that is only on the surface…" he pointed at a building.

"That place is the central controller for the camouflage and protection of this place," he added.

After a short tour of the place, Xin Ja could not help but feel amazed at the arrays in the place. He knew that this thing was not built by Cohan Vale. It might have even been built by several people.

After the tour, they enter a room and sit down for some tea.

"I invited you here because… I have acknowledged that you are very talented and that you have knowledge beyond our own…" Cohan Vale finally wanted to show his true purpose.

"Help us win this war…" he said while looking outside the window with melancholic eyes.

"I seem to recognize now that I am trapped in this world… in a never-ending cycle of death and reincarnation… Sigh…" he muttered.

"I've seen what those demons could do… I saw them devouring our cores… and I could tell that those that have their cores devoured will not be able to cycle the reincarnation again…" he added with a deep sigh.

Xin Ja could have guessed as such, but he has another conjecture. If those awakened that died, did have their cores devoured by demons, they will not reincarnate on this side of the world. But that does not mean they have escaped the trap of this world.

They would just continue the cycle once again on the other side of the planet.

But Xin Ja did not have to recognize the ramblings of the guy. He should just tell him the gravity of the situation that would spur him to continue fighting.

"Umm… Senior… I think the reason the demons are invading this place seems a bit… weird. I mean, why would they struggle to invade a place where there is a surety of death? I don't think that most of those demons are not like some brain-dead pawn, right? For example the snow trolls…" Xin Ja began to explain his thought.

"I've noticed those snow trolls forming a group in the snowy forest… Why is that? Because I think they wanted to survive or live in this world. That is why… I am now wondering what the true purpose of those demons is… and who is behind this mess?"

After hearing Xin Ja's words, the expression of Cohan Vale turned serious. He also has a thought, but no answer.

"And there is another creature that is hiding in the shadows which I think we all should be wary of… I call them… Shadow Beings…" Xin Ja suddenly added.

When Cohan Vale heard Xin Ja's words, his expression changes into that of disbelief. He then looks at Xin Ja with a suspicious frown.

"How… How did you get this information?" he subconsciously asked.

"Senior, I came from the other side, remembers… I was a soldier there. I accidentally enter this place for some reason when I was attacked and have gained the identity of Adam Summers. I've seen some of the demons and traces of those Shadow Beings on the other side." Xin Ja explained.

"Hmm…" Cohan was in deep thought, so Xin Ja did not bother with him.

If he could gain the help of this A-Rank and his compatriots, then saving this world would become easier than he thought.

His problem now would be how to unlock their full potential without being restrained by this world.

But in his mind, he already has the solution for that. He just did not know if it would surely work or if he could truly trust these people.

Suddenly, a knocking sound interrupted the silence in the room.

"Come in!" Cohan called out showing a hint of irritation in his brow.

"Sir… We… We have a visitor…" the soldier said hesitantly after entering the room and seeing the slightly annoyed Cohan Vale.

But before he could do anything, a figure suddenly strutted inside the room.

"Hey, Cohan! I heard you found…" a young woman with slightly unkempt hair and wearing thick glasses enters the room without a care in the world.

Her white coat looks spotless, and an ID badge hangs in her pocket which reads… Doctor Amy Vale.

Xin Ja was surprised that the woman is actually not awakened but just a normal person.

But from one look, he could tell the resemblance between the two, so it seems that the two are siblings.

"Is this him?" suddenly the woman said while walking to Xin Ja's side and giving him a scrutinizing look.

Xin Ja almost felt his hair stand on end while the woman scrutinizes him. It really feels uncomfortable. It even felt like his old introverted attitude wanted to surface as he wanted to hide his face.

"Big sister, please conduct yourself properly in front of my guests…" Cohan scolded while shaking his head.

He knew that his big sister is obsessed with awakened ever since he told her about the other side and about the great power of the awakened.

So, after she graduated from school, she worked with him and raised the ladder to become one of the top scientists in the capital city.

But of course, he also wanted that his sister could also awaken her own power. That way, the two of them could help each other figure things out.

But after much hard effort, he still could not find a way to awaken an individual.

"Is he the one who gave you the note, little brother?" asked Amy Vale while still scrutinizing Xin Ja like he is some kind of rare animal.

"Yes… He is…"

"Adam Summers… I know, I've read the reports. But shouldn't you be dead? I heard you were eaten by a portal at that time…" she suddenly asked.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as he did not know that the military could also have their hands on such information.

Seeing his surprised look, the young woman before him smirked.

"Hehe… You don't have to worry that much, I don't bite. Plus, that is only speculation and it is not a proven fact yet…" she muttered while she finally stood in front of him.

She suddenly sniffs the air in front of Xin Ja.

"Hmm… That's weird… You… You don't have any smell at all…" she suddenly blurted.

Then her face bloomed with a smile.

This time, Xin Ja could now see her true feature.

She might look unkempt and everything, but once you look at her carefully, you can tell that behind that thick glasses and messy hair is a beautiful woman hiding within.

Suddenly, he could not help but remember Rou Chenchen making his heart ache a bit.

As he shifted his gaze, the young woman before him suddenly showed a weird expression.

"Alright, enough of that… How was it? Were you able to decipher the note? Because if not, then I think Adam here could help…" Cohan suggested.

The young woman's eyes lighted up as soon as she heard this. The reason why she came into this room is that she wanted to confront her brother about bringing the source of the note.

She was just mesmerized a bit upon seeing the young and handsome in front of her, after suddenly recognizing who he was.

But since she remembers, how could she let this guy go? She has tons of questions for him and the answer is a bit obscure.

She wanted the answer now and knows that if she is able to unlock the code in that note, then her research would progress in leaps and bounds.

So without hesitation, she suddenly grabbed Xin Ja's arm as if he is going to suddenly escape her grasp.
