Chapter 509: The True Culprit (Please Subscribe)

~6 min read 1,189 words

Enide's Shelter camp has no name.

It is located underground in a remote ruin, likely formerly some kind of air-raid shelter.

To defend against the bombing of the Airship fleets of Tiesage and Romani, Invis once built many shelters in major cities and suburbs across the country.

This place should be one of them.

Due to strict militarized requirements and a reinforced concrete structure, this shelter looks very solid, with no risk of collapse.

Aaron watched as Enide mimicked the call of a cuckoo to open the entrance to the shelter.

After becoming a "Furnace," the need for food is mainly for enjoyment rather than to fill one's Stomach.

Aaron followed Enide as she walked deeper and deeper, suddenly stopping outside a large room.

Their faces were covered in grime, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.

What's more, he now has to swallow the remnant characteristics of an "Immortal" every so often, so it wouldn't matter at all even if he didn't eat or drink.

"Sister Enide."

Aifa suddenly began to convulse, trembling as if having an epileptic seizure, with eyes rolling back.

"Where is this?"

Encountering a true expert, one is bound to be exposed.

They come from several glowing stones.

If outsiders were unaware, they wouldn't even notice there was a vast architectural structure underground while passing by.

The woman had a plump figure, which was very different from the refugees Aaron had seen before who were no different from skin and bones.

Enide seemed a bit regretful; she brought Aaron to the deepest room in the shelter.

Several children ran out, quickly grabbing Enide's hands: "Candy, cookies..."

Immediately after, countless ink-like black tides surged over, wanting to drown her Spirituality...

She thought for a moment and replied in a heavy tone: "Many deities have fallen, and the Spirit World and the Mortal World have merged; it is the sign that the end has begun!"

"I have no appetite."

The rotten wooden door opened directly, allowing Aaron to see the scene inside.

The room was very clean, with black curtains hanging from mid-air; behind the curtains sat a middle-aged woman dressed like a witch.

"You brought others?"

Aifa's Spirituality then gradually stabilized, but she did not dare to continue sitting.

"On the wasteland, black holes often appear, and the powerful Spirit World Creatures that come out of them are invincible; one will even be polluted upon seeing them..."

"Two things."

Enide introduced with some pride: "We mainly grow mushrooms and other ferns... and we also raise earthworms in the soil. Dried earthworm tastes quite good; would you like to try some?"

"Teacher?!"

"The end has come? You really don't know, my lord?"

The huge underground shelter was fully utilized and divided into different spaces.

Aaron answered with a smile.

On the velvet cushion in front of her, a Crystal Ball was also placed.

On the wall outside the room, dried mice, birds, and other food were hung, and there were people specifically guarding it; it should be a food storage room.

Enide bowed and said.

"Is that so? Perhaps because the place I was lost in was a special Lingjie Mizheng, I was able to escape with my life..."

Seeing her powerful teacher become so servile, Enide couldn't help but be stunned.

Aifa immediately shook her head: "The end has come, and the harm suffered by the Spirit World is ten times that of the Mortal World. If you were in the Spirit World, you would inevitably be affected by the immense terror of the fallen deities!"

"Come in."

Calling it an entrance, it was actually just a crooked passage in the ruins, tightly blocked by two iron doors and many sundries.

Aifa looked at Aaron strangely, gradually beginning to believe the claim that the other party had really been lost in the Spirit World for a long time.

This made Aaron silently grumble, wondering if this group of survivors would increase their probability of contracting terminal illnesses after staying under these glowing stones for a long time.

Aaron smiled; he knew that the lies he made up on the spot could at most fool a semi-initiate like Enide.

"Teacher Aifa! I'm back."

To be honest, Enide quite doubted why there were still people like Aaron who knew nothing about common knowledge of the end.

"Yes, Teacher, this is Mr. Aaron, a high-level existence who has been lost in the Spirit World for many years!"

The next moment, it was as if endless History Mist spread out from him, condensing into an illusory door.

"Impossible."

Aifa also saw Aaron at this time, her slightly purple eyes shining with Mysterious Light.

"We don't live in the cities because too many people died there, forming 'Weird'..."

She saw a sun-like radiance blooming from this young man!

Aaron's expression remained unchanged: "The first thing: tell me the truth about the end!"

Seeing that her teacher was showing signs of losing control, Enide immediately stepped forward and fed her a Green Banyan Tree Leaf.

And Aifa's gaze was already fixed on the Crystal Ball in front of her.

On the Crystal Ball, Aaron's figure was clearly reflected.

"This is our Nursery... After the end, wheat is no longer suitable as a main food source, so under the teacher's leadership, we opened up a special Nursery underground."

However, what made Aaron stop was not these, but the smell of rotten soil coming from the room and the fluctuations of a large number of tiny lives.

Her Spirituality spread, extending to the Crystal Ball, infiltrating toward that figure.

However, Aaron then explained that before the end, he had been trapped in the Spirit World for many years and only accidentally escaped recently.

The corridor was pitch black, with only a very faint source of Light.

She stood up and performed a solemn salute: "Respected existence... your arrival has brought Glory to the entire camp!"

Although Aaron was very strong, in her mind, her own teacher was equally incomparably powerful, even exceeding the boundaries of humanity!

Yet she had not expected that such a powerful teacher would also have to remain humble before Lord Aaron!

From time to time, men and women poked their heads out, sizing up the stranger Aaron with curious, scrutinizing, and guarded gazes.

In the Mortal World, such ore was originally rare, but after the Spirit World eroded the Mortal World, these strange little trinkets were everywhere.

After Aaron's inquiries along the way, Enide also roughly knew that Aaron was a complete novice; as she walked into the narrow passage, she introduced to Aaron: "So... a Shelter in the suburbs is the best location for a camp!"

Enide actually believed it!

After all, for a human who was a High-Level Extraordinary to behave so Weirdly, it seemed there was only this one explanation.

Aaron refused Enide's invitation with a cold expression.

"And the one who caused all of this is a fallen and Evil Domain, terrifying Pillar!"

This feeling of gradually approaching the truth made even Aaron involuntarily perk up: "Who is He?"

"He is the Pillar who governs June—'The Rancher'!"
