Chapter 45: The Four-Dimensional Pocket

"Give it to me, don't move!!!!"

The voice of beguilement spat out from Xiang Xiang Leina's mouth.

Xiang Xiang Leina almost vented all her psychic power on Nama Kark.

Nama Kark, facing Xiang Xiang Leina's all-out effort, was slightly stunned.

No power emerged from the notebook in her hand.

The Lord she found through decades of exploration did not respond to her.

She was abandoned.

Nama Kark realized in a trance.

She was useless to the Lord.

All that echoed in her ears was... mockery:

"Just as planned, everything is going according to plan!"

"Gahahahahaha hohoho!!"

The Lord's mockery sounded in her ears.

Then, flames, thunder, and psychic hammers landed on her.

Nama Kark only had time to let out a few screams before she was burned into a charred corpse.

"Where is your Lord?!" Xiang Xiang Leina gritted her teeth and said: "I have the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's protection, what do you have?"

Xiang Xiang Leina kicked the charred corpse hard and turned to look at Zhou Yun.

"Zhou Yun, you..."

Xiang Xiang Leina stood there blankly.

She thought that after killing Nama Kark, she could cut off the corruption.

But Zhou Yun was still clutching his head, leaning against the wall in pain, with spiral numbers reflected in his eyes.

He seemed to be being eroded bit by bit by the blasphemous existence in the Warp.

But Xiang Xiang Leina could also faintly perceive that,

Zhou Yun had not been completely corrupted. His will, some kind of power in his body, and himself were all resisting the corruption.

Xiang Xiang Leina placed her hand on Zhou Yun's forehead and projected her consciousness into it...

"Zhou Yun!!!" Xiang Xiang Leina's voice sounded across layers of numbers.

She tried to transmit her consciousness into the depths of Zhou Yun's mind and pull him out of those layers of number vortexes.

But the moment Xiang Xiang Leina's psychic power probed in, it was entangled by those constantly changing numbers.

Her psychic power disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Xiang Leina could only anxiously look at Zhou Yun in the depths across the number vortex.

She vaguely saw that Zhou Yun was covered with some kind of pure white light, and some kind of round blue figure was reflected in the Warp.

Just then, Xiang Xiang Leina heard the sound of flipping pages.

She turned her head and looked behind her.

I saw Nama Kark's cheap black-covered notebook open silently.

Xiang Xiang Leina was stunned for a moment.

This notebook was actually intact under her psychic bombardment.

She immediately realized that this notebook was the source of corruption.

I saw the notebook open silently, and the numbers on it were like small black-to-blue insects, drilling out from the paper.

They swirled bit by bit in the air, forming a twisted and changing vortex.

Xiang Xiang Leina heard a playful laughter that sounded like a bird and a human coming from the other end of the vortex.

Some kind of existence was about to squeeze into the material universe through the vortex opened by this notebook.

"The distance is too far, my psychic power cannot be transmitted immediately."

"If it were in a church, or if there was a team of Blood Angels by your side, I could immediately drive away these corruptions."

The winged figure in the white light said in a low voice, his pure white wings turning into a barrier, trying to protect Zhou Yun.

But perhaps because the distance was too far, his figure was like a duckweed without roots in the water, constantly swaying.

"Where am I going to find you a team of Blood Angels?"

"Wait, that notebook should be the source of corruption, as long as it is destroyed..."

Zhou Yun endured the dizziness coming from the depths of his soul and barely raised his head.

He saw Nama Kark's black notebook open a vortex composed of numbers.

Behind the vortex, something seemed to be about to drill out.

Xiang Xiang Leina raised her hands high, praising the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, releasing psychic power to try to close the vortex and destroy the black notebook.

But the notebook was unscathed, and the vortex was changing faster and faster.

"It cannot be destroyed. That notebook is the source of corruption, and it exists with the help of the corrupted..."

"Everyone who has unraveled the mystery of that string of numbers and has been corrupted because of it is supporting the existence of that notebook."

"If all the corrupted are not purified, the notebook cannot be destroyed."

The winged figure in the white light looked at the black notebook and said.

Destroying the notebook can eliminate corruption, destroying the notebook requires eliminating corruption.

A clever closed loop formed a cage, trapping everyone in it.

The winged figure in the white light looked at Zhou Yun, who was resisting corruption in pain.

In his eyes, Zhou Yun's figure was becoming non-human.

His body sometimes presented layers of blue feathers,

Sometimes it was replaced by a blue round metal shell.

Zhou Yun's reflection in the Warp, his essence in the Warp, was competing with Tzeentch's corruption for control of the physical body.

But Zhou Yun had not yet correctly realized his own essence and had not yet seen his position in the Warp.

The Warp is a subjective realm. If you don't realize the power you have, that power itself will be as if it doesn't exist.

Zhou Yun is now only passively resisting Tzeentch's erosion and won't last long.

"Go to the church!"

The winged figure in the white light shouted at Zhou Yun:

"Go to the nearest church, the church with my statue. There, my power can be transmitted more."

"... The nearest church is three blocks away."

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth and said:

"And that church is mixed with parts belonging to Tzeentch!"

Even if there was no problem with that church, Zhou Yun's current state could not make it there.

This is Tzeentch's plan.

I'm afraid it started decades ago when Nama Kark donated money to sponsor the church.

Nama Kark thought she had found the true god from mathematics, but in fact, she just fell into Tzeentch's trick.

She taught young children mathematics year after year, sowing the seeds of corruption with the numbers representing Tzeentch hidden in them.

She prayed to Tzeentch in the church every nine days. The church is the place where the barrier between reality and the Warp is thinnest.

Many corrupted children, praying day and night,

Finally tonight, in District 9, used those corrupted children as sacrifices to open a number vortex leading to the Warp.

What is behind that vortex?

A Greater Daemon? A Lord of Change?

But to destroy that notebook, all the corrupted must be killed, even including Zhou Yun, who is about to be corrupted, to do it.

Or use the simplest method, directly destroy the entire District 9...

"No."

Zhou Yun looked up at Xiang Xiang Leina, who was desperately outputting psychic power to suppress the vortex.

His brain moved very fast, perhaps Tzeentch's corruption enhanced his intelligence.

An idea popped into his heart.

"I... I..."

Zhou Yun endured the dizziness and the pain in his head and shouted at Xiang Xiang Leina:

"Xiang Xiang Leina!"

"I have an idea!"

"Huh?" Xiang Xiang Leina turned her head blankly and looked at Zhou Yun.

"Throw that damn notebook to me!!!" Zhou Yun roared.

Xiang Xiang Leina nodded fiercely.

She chose to trust Zhou Yun's idea.

Although it couldn't be destroyed, moving that notebook didn't seem difficult.

Xiang Xiang Leina mobilized psychic power and threw the cheap notebook with the black cover to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun reached out to catch the notebook, looking at the number vortex constantly rotating on it.

On the other side of the vortex, the playful laughter of bird-like and human-like sounds kept coming.

"Laugh? Laugh at your mother? Blue-haired bastard!"

"See if this is in your plan!"

Zhou Yun chose to gamble, gambling that his golden finger was reliable enough.

He stuffed the notebook into the four-dimensional pocket on his stomach.

"Item: Changer Number Book"
