Chapter 228: My name is Ximen, and I am a member of Ouroboros ()

~6 min read 1,161 words

[Underwood] Underground City, the spiral staircase on the outer wall.

"Your Highness, that shop seems to have a lot of people."

A lively girl with long black hair, wearing a sleeveless black dress, walked on the spiral staircase.

Seeming to have seen something interesting, she pointed her finger at a shop not far away and asked the person behind her.

"Do you want to buy some to try?"

"Freshly grilled White Cow cheese?"

Looking at the name on the shop, a look of curiosity appeared on Kalki's face.

"This is my first time hearing of this food."

"Isn't that normal? After all, you haven't even been born for a year yet, Your Highness."

Ayazato Rin replied casually: "Little Garden is so big, there are plenty of foods you haven't seen."

"But to be honest, I haven't eaten White Cow cheese either. With so many people queuing, the taste shouldn't be bad."

"If you want to eat it, then go buy it."

Seeing through Ayazato Rin's thoughts, Kalki stopped walking: "Before the new supervisor is sent down, we are temporarily free."

"Coming to participate in the festival this time is purely for fun. Since we are going to have fun, we should naturally have a good time."

"Then I'm going~"

Ayazato Rin waved her hand: "Remember not to run around, Your Highness. It will be very troublesome for me if you get lost."

"How could I get lost? What do you take me for?"

But Ayazato Rin seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and before Kalki could refute, she ran forward first.

Invisible spatial fluctuations bloomed on her, and the distance between objects was infinitely compressed.

In just a short moment, Ayazato Rin disappeared in front of Kalki and ran happily into the shop in the distance.

"......Forget it."

Seeing this, Kalki, who originally wanted to say something, also dismissed the idea of waiting for the other party to come back to discuss it.

Sighing helplessly, he looked around.

As a city built underground, the [Underwood] Underground City was built by excavating downwards in a spiral shape.

Although the depth was only about twenty meters, because the upward stairs were also spiral, the distance was not short.

If it were any other time, Kalki might have felt a little bored because of the repetitive scenery.

But today was different. As the day the [Underwood] Harvest Festival began, this spiral staircase was filled with all kinds of shops and stalls.

Kalki had not been born for long, and for a long time, he had been monitored and unable to move freely.

This was the first time Kalki had seen such a scene.

After seeing it for a while, not only did he not feel bored, but he even became more expectant.

"A life not controlled by others is really nice."

"Yeah, yeah."

Seeming to have heard his words, a voice full of agreement came from not far away.

"Not being watched by others, all actions and behaviors are done according to one's own happiness, without any constraints."

"I also like this kind of free life the most."

"Hmm?"

Not expecting someone to pick up his words, Kalki was stunned for a moment before looking to the right.

"Who are you?"

"You don't recognize me?"

Lin Que looked at him suspiciously and replied: "I am the Saint of Christianity, Ximen."

"A Saint of Christianity?"

Kalki frowned slightly.

As a member of Little Garden, even if he were ignorant, it would be impossible for him not to know of the existence of Christianity.

Coincidentally, he had also learned about the existence of Saints and understood what Saints meant to Christianity.

"A special existence like you would actually talk to an unknown small fry?"

"Small fry? You can't be considered a small fry."

Lin Que smiled and reached out his hand: "Let's get to know each other, Original Candidate Kalki."

"I was sent from above to replace Maxwell. You can treat me as the new supervisor."

"Unfortunately, your days of free movement are coming to an end again."

"How is that possible!"

Seeming to be shocked by his words, Kalki stood frozen in place, a look of shock on his face.

"A Saint of Christianity... is a member of Ouroboros?!"

"Yeah, didn't expect that, did you?"

"......I really didn't expect it."

A complex expression appeared on Kalki's face: "But if it's you guys, it can indeed be explained."

For an organization as large as Ouroboros to be able to hide in the shadows, there must be someone supporting them behind the scenes.

It was just that the other party had always been hiding in the shadows, so Kalki, Ayazato Rin, and others could only guess that the other party's background was not low; other than that, they had no clues.

Now that a Christian Saint had suddenly jumped out and said he was a member of Ouroboros, Kalki could accept this statement despite feeling shocked.

Looking at the palm Lin Que extended in front of him, Kalki sighed helplessly and prepared to raise his hand to shake it to show friendliness.

However... at the same time he just raised his palm, a panicked shout came from not far away.

"Your Highness! What are you doing!"

"Rin?"

Kalki looked suspiciously at Ayazato Rin, who had suddenly appeared to the North North North Side.

"You came back just in time. This is......"

"Of course I know who he is!"

Ayazato Rin looked nervously at Lin Que: "This guy is the leader of No-Name, the guy who killed Maxwell!"

Kalki: "???"

Not the Christian Saint Ximen?

Kalki was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and looked at Lin Que unhappily.

"You lied to me!"

"No, no, no, I didn't lie to you."

Lin Que shook his head with a smile, infinitely magnifying the concept of 'Ximen' on his body.

"I am indeed the Christian Saint Ximen."

"Stop lying! Do you think I'm like His Highness and haven't seen your photo!"

Unlike Kalki, who knew nothing, Ayazato Rin, as a strategist, knew what Lin Que looked like.

"You cannot be a Christian Saint!"

"Looking at your reaction, you should only know me and not Ximen."

Lin Que shook his head slightly: "What a pity, I wanted to play with you guys a bit more before making a move."

"Are you going to start a war here?"

Ayazato Rin signaled to the crowd around them: "Today is the day the [Underwood] Harvest Festival is held."

"If you make a move here, aren't you afraid of affecting innocent people and being punished afterward?"

"Affecting innocent people?"

Lin Que's voice came from behind Ayazato Rin.

Before Ayazato Rin could react to what had happened, she felt her body lighten, and she was lifted up and shaken twice.

"I say, aren't you overestimating yourself too much?"

"Rin!"

Power sufficient to destroy mountains and break rivers gathered in Kalki's hands, and he immediately launched an attack on Lin Que, who had appeared beside him.
