Illimitable Until Death Chapter 241

IUD-CHAPTER 241 CHAPTER IN HISTORY

“Dah… Dah… Dah… Dah…”

In the dimly lit corridor, the rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed clearly, creating reverberations around the enclosed area. Fang Li followed Jeanne down this corridor, observing his surroundings while casually inquiring about some things.

“Although I know that I-U is filled with Superhumans, making it unlikely for anyone to patrol these parts but it’s strange that we haven’t seen a single person yet. If I hadn’t given up on hiding, this situation would be quite favorable for us, wouldn’t it?”

“Strategically and tactically speaking, you’re right,” Jeanne replied without even turning her head. With a challenging tone, she continued, “But, just as you said, I-U is full of Superhumans. No idiot would choose to infiltrate this place. You’re undoubtedly the first to do so. Therefore, if the people here understand this, they won’t feel ashamed; they’ll find it amusing instead.”

“Indeed, being a Superhuman Being also means being a Mysterious Being,” Fang Li smirked, continuing, “In that case, where are these interesting people?”

“Rest a.s.sured, you’ll meet them soon enough,” Jeanne glanced at Fang Li as she spoke, “If you want to escape, now is your only chance. I might not be able to catch up to your terrifying speed, so I won’t be able to stop you.”

“Unfortunately, since I’m here, it’s impossible for me to escape before achieving my goal,” Fang Li shrugged and said, “Miss Jeanne, please continue leading the way.”

“Miss… Miss Jeanne…” Once again, Jeanne blushed at the term, took a deep breath, and with feigned calmness, she said, “Go ahead and be stubborn for now.”

As they conversed, Fang Li followed Jeanne and reached the end of the corridor. Following a ray of light ahead, Fang Li squinted his eyes slightly and upon stepping out of the corridor, he realized he was in an extremely s.p.a.cious hall.

The s.p.a.cious hall resembled an arena.

The hall was circular in shape.

There were no spectator seats around, but there was a gallery on what could be considered the second floor.

Fang Li’s steps came to a halt because Fang Li clearly saw it.

On the second-floor gallery, figures had somehow appeared and were standing there, looking down at the hall below. Their gaze was fixed on Fang Li’s body.

“—”

In that instant, an unprecedentedly terrifying atmosphere spread through the air.

Unknowingly, Jeanne had retreated.

The entire hall was left with only Fang Li.

The gazes concentrated on Fang Li’s body were filled with curiosity, exploration, scrutiny, and a.s.sessment. It was as if Fang Li was a laboratory rat and they observed him without restraint.

However, amidst these gazes, there was also a portion carrying a skin-piercing murderous aura.

The atmosphere was terrifying, stemming from this.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Fang Li was being treated as prey.

Even without needing to think, it was clear that those figures on the second-floor gallery were all members of I-U.

These members possessed Abilities that would allow them to be named Superhuman. They had gathered here one after another, their focus entirely on a single person. What degree of pressure this could bring was something anyone could imagine.

If someone else were facing these Superhumans, they would likely be unable to move and cold sweat would be dripping all over their body, wouldn’t it?

A person capable of disregarding this terrifying feeling likely hadn’t appeared until now.

However, at this moment, such a person had appeared.

Fang Li calmly ignored the pervasive murderous aura in the air. While others were fixated on observing him, he, guided by the intelligence Riko provided, identified the true ident.i.ties of each Superhuman one by one.

Until he laid eyes on one person.

“Kinji?” Fang Li couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the figure standing there.

In a corner of the second-floor gallery, the person whose gaze met Fang Li’s was none other than Tohyama Kinji.

Tohyama Kinji flashed Fang Li a helpless smile, but he remained silent, standing there quietly.

Beside him stood a breathtakingly beautiful girl who seemed to have stepped out of someone’s dreams.

This girl/guy is precisely Tohyama Kana.

At this point, Fang Li finally understood something he previously didn’t.

He understood why Tohyama Kinji was here.

Just as Riko had said, some believed that exceptional Butei who were presumed dead had actually been abducted by I-U and forced to join their ranks.

Evidently, Tohyama Kana was one of them.

Only, Tohyama Kana hadn’t truly wanted to join I-U.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to kill Aria.

Aria and the leader of I-U were definitely related in some way.

To prevent Aria from getting involved with I-U, Tohyama Kana had wanted to eliminate her.

Thus, when it came to the matter of a.s.sa.s.sinating Aria, both Tohyama Kinji and Tohyama Kana used the term “Justice.”

However, Fang Li’s appearance had changed the course of events.

Tohyama Kinji must have understood this, which was why he had joined forces with Tohyama Kana.

“Let me see then…”

“The renowned leader of I-U, who exactly is it…”

Fang Li cast his gaze forward.

There was an entrance there.

Fang Li had already heard it, the sound of footsteps, drawing nearer.

And as those footsteps drew closer, the voice of their master resonated.

“Though there were some deviations, just as I deduced, you’ve successfully arrived here, Fang Li-Kun.”

“Along with the resounding of such words,” A figure slowly walked in from the entrance ahead, catching Fang Li’s eye.

“————!”

Upon seeing the person’s complete appearance, even Fang Li’s dark-colored eyes contracted suddenly, their pupils shrinking to the size of a pinhead.

Emerging from the entrance was a handsome man.

He wore a coat.

A Detective hat adorned his head.

He held a pipe in his mouth and wisdom glinted in his eyes.

It was impossible for Fang Li to not recognize this man.

After all, just over an hour ago, Fang Li had seen his picture in Aria’s Butei handbook.

“Sherlock… Holmes…”

He had been active on the stage more than a century ago in the history of the United Kingdom, renowned as the founder of Butei, the world’s strongest and most famous detective.

Aria’s Great-Grandfather.

Yes.

The leader of I-U, the figure referred to as the Professor, was none other than Sherlock Holmes.

“I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time.”

The famous detective named Sherlock flashed a dashing smile and made this declaration.

“Today is the day we open a new chapter in history.”
