393: Chapter 393 Traitor to Humanity

Until this morning, this blockbuster news was exposed.

The news not only provided surveillance footage of Chen Yi walking with the silver-haired woman, but also dug up historical archives from five hundred years ago, proving that the silver-haired woman was indeed a high-ranking official of the Demon Abyss Cult!

Insiders even revealed that Chen Yi had entered into a contract relationship with this woman!

With this, public opinion completely exploded.

On online forums, all kinds of comments were flooding the screen.

"I've long felt that Chen Yi rose too quickly; there must be a problem!"

"SSS-Rank Talent? I think it's a modification given by the Demon Abyss Cult!"

"No wonder he could eliminate the Skeleton Progenitor; it was just a performance!"

"Human traitor! Trash! Go die!"

Of course, many people also defended Chen Yi.

"Where were you when Chen Yi went to the Antarctica secret realm?"

"Spraying nonsense without evidence, keyboard warriors are truly disgusting!"

"I believe in Chen Yi! He must have had his reasons!"

But the voices of defense were quickly drowned out.

In this era of information explosion, people are more willing to believe in dramatic conspiracy theories rather than complex truths.

The contract objects Chen Yi left outside were also posting frantically online to clarify.

"Chen Yi absolutely cannot be a traitor! We vouch for him with our lives!"

"He was framed! Someone wants to ruin his reputation!"

"Please give us time, the truth will surely come to light!"

However, what they got in return was even more vicious abuse.

"Have you spirit beasts been brainwashed too?"

"What good could come from contracting with a traitor?"

"Hurry up and break the contract, don't let yourself be infamous forever by following Chen Yi!"

What pained The girls the most was the unanswerable question—why didn't Chen Yi come out to clarify?

Where exactly was he?

What was he doing?

Was it really true?

They didn't dare to think any further, and could only pray silently in their hearts, praying for Chen Yi's safety, praying that all of this was just a nightmare.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Abyss Cult headquarters, after Chen Yi learned of the situation outside through special channels, he just remained silent for a moment.

Then he continued to perform the Spirit Beast Awakening for the next spirit beast girl.

His expression was calm, as if the storm outside had nothing to do with him.

Only those who knew him best would notice.

The cold glint that occasionally flashed in his eyes heralded that the storm was coming.

And Hua Liuli, upon learning that public opinion outside had completely turned against Chen Yi, revealed a satisfied smile.

"In this way, you really have nowhere to go!" Hua Liuli whispered to herself, "Besides staying by my side and changing this world, you have no other choice!"

Inside the room, soft lights illuminated every corner.

Chen Yi leaned against the headboard, holding a specially made magic communication device, with pages of major news websites and social platforms on the screen.

News and comments about him were constantly refreshing.

[Former hero Chen Yi suspected of defecting to the Demon Abyss Cult, the truth is shocking!]

[Exclusive reveal: Video record of Chen Yi walking intimately with a female officer of the Demon Abyss Cult!]

[From savior to traitor? In-depth analysis of Chen Yi's fall!]

[Netizens jointly request the Beast Tamer Association to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of all of Chen Yi's battle records!]

The comment section was even more chaotic.

"I've long felt this person was suspicious, how could anyone level up so fast?"

"I heard he can make spirit beasts awaken hidden bloodlines, it must be modification technology given by the Demon Abyss Cult!"

"Wake up, those who support Chen Yi, the evidence is solid!"

"Trash traitor, go die quickly!"

Chen Yi read them one by one, his face showing no anger or frustration, instead, he gave a few bitter laughs and shook his head.

Fortunately, he never paid much attention to others' opinions.

Since he was a child, Chen Yi had understood one truth.

There are very few people in this world who truly understand the truth; most people just piece together the truth they want to believe from fragmented information, and then stand on the moral high ground to criticize others.

This level of public opinion attack could not affect his state of mind at all.

The only things he truly cared about were the people around him who trusted and followed him, and the future he wanted to protect.

Closing the communication device, Chen Yi got up from the bed and stretched.

"Having fun with The girls for half a month, it's time to get down to business!"

Walking out of the bedroom into the outer hall of the suite, several contract objects were resting there.

"Ready to act?" Black Rose asked.

Chen Yi nodded: "Half a month should be enough, I'm going to find Hua Liuli!"

Demon Abyss Cult headquarters.

Hua Liuli was listening to the research team's progress report on the final plan.

When she saw Chen Yi walk in, she signaled the researchers to pause.

"Queen!"

Chen Yi bowed respectfully, "My energy has recovered, I can continue to perform awakenings for the spirit beasts."

Hua Liuli looked him over carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! You are stronger than I imagined!"

She was naturally referring to the overwhelming negative news outside.

If it were an ordinary person, facing the questioning and abuse of the whole world, their mentality would have collapsed long ago.

But Chen Yi looked completely unaffected; this kind of psychological quality was indeed rare.

"What others say is their business."

Chen Yi said indifferently, "I only do what I think is right and take responsibility for it!"

A trace of admiration flashed in Hua Liuli's eyes.

This attitude was so similar to her own thoughts when she decided to embark on this path.

"Follow me."

She turned and walked towards the other side of the laboratory.

Passing through several encrypted doors, they arrived in a spacious room.

There were already more than twenty spirit beast girls waiting here, just like An Ruowen and Bai Li before, their eyes empty and their spiritual power completely sealed.

Hua Liuli didn't say much, just made a gesture.

Chen Yi understood, walked to the first girl, and began the awakening ritual.

[Name: Zhu Xiaolan]

[Bloodline: E-rank Firebird]

[Hidden Bloodline: SS-rank Crimson Owl]

The tacit understanding between the two had reached an astonishing level.

There was no need for too much communication; Chen Yi knew what Hua Liuli wanted; and Hua Liuli completely trusted Chen Yi's ability and would not interfere too much while he was working.

Before long, the room was filled with brilliant light.

This time, it was a black-haired girl who was awakened; when the hidden bloodline in her body was activated, the temperature in the entire laboratory suddenly rose.

A pair of wings burning with crimson flames spread behind the girl, her hair was also dyed golden-red, and she was surrounded by flames.

SS-rank Bloodline — Crimson Owl, awakening successful!

The emptiness in the girl's eyes was replaced by flame-like enthusiasm; she looked at the dancing flames in her hands, and an unbelievable joy appeared on her face.

Hua Liuli stepped forward to check, and after confirming that the bloodline was fully awakened and stable, she instructed the researchers nearby: "Take her to the testing ground and record all the data!"

"Yes, Queen!"
