Chapter 391: Suspect God

~10 min read 1,808 words

Deep underground in Trier, inside a certain deserted quarry hole.

"Hela" kept watching the transparent, twisted maggots all die, and also didn't discover any Beyonder characteristics precipitated.

She turned her head to look at the sleeping Lu Mian and Franca, confirming that they had both gotten rid of the state of being on the verge of losing control under the comfort of the dark night and dreams, and their breathing had become steady, before she lifted the ability to force sleep.

After two seconds, Lu Mian opened his eyes abruptly and jumped up like a leopard.

He instantly created three crimson flames, illuminating this mine.

When he looked around vigilantly and bewilderedly, Franca, whose spirit had been more severely damaged, rubbed her head and climbed up in terror.

The next second, she saw "Hela," dressed in a black widow-style dress, saw the familiar soft hat with a veil, and blurted out:

"Ms. 'Hela,' why did you come?"

After saying this, she regretted it, because this exposed that she was also a member of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

If there hadn't been such a sentence, she could have pretended she wasn't "Sleeve Sword," just Charles's friend.

"'Sleeve Sword'?" "Hela" asked.

Franca laughed dryly:

"Yes, how did you recognize me?"

"The research society only has one 'Witch'." "Hela" replied very calmly.

Franca was even more embarrassed, responding inexplicably:

"I also recognized you by your dress and temperament. You didn't show your face at all during the gathering."

When the two recognized each other, Lu Mian's vigilance and defense clearly eased. After all, Ms. "Hela" had already come, so at least safety could be guaranteed.

He then saw the two marionettes lying on the ground, having lost their breath, and saw the pool of flesh and blood dead with transparent maggots.

"That's 'Loki'?" Lu Mian pointed to the rotten mud-like flesh and blood that was both disgusting and extremely thrilling.

"Hela" cast her gaze over:

"Yes."

Lu Mian fell silent for a moment and said:

"He's dead?"

"Hela" nodded lightly:

"Died by losing control created by himself, but didn't die thoroughly."

"Ah?" Franca made a puzzled sound.

It had shattered into this state, even maggots had crawled out, and it hadn't died thoroughly?

She had already figured out why Ms. "Hela" appeared. It must be that this bastard Charles used her as bait again and wrote a letter asking Ms. "Hela" to clean up the sect!

"Hela" looked at Lu Mian, her cold voice saying:

"It's not only high-level Witches who can resurrect. High-level 'Seers' can do the same. 'Loki' should have believed in an evil god in this field, plus his own specialness, to be able to abandon his body after death, carry the characteristics, and resurrect in a place prepared in advance.

"It's a pity I didn't foresee this matter. If I had prayed for true concealment in advance, he wouldn't have been able to resurrect, and the Beyonder characteristics would have been left behind."

This lady spoke of her own omission calmly, without making excuses, nor showing any annoyance.

Lu Mian looked at the rotten mud flesh and blood dead with maggots, a smile gradually appearing on his face.

He curled his lips and said:

"Quite good.

"If he just died like this, I would be disappointed instead. How could it not be killed by my own hands?"

When saying this sentence, there was a fire burning in Lu Mian's heart, full of strong desire for high-Sequence power.

"Loki" was very formidable, and he and Franca almost became marionettes together, but "Hela," who was suspected to have advanced to Sequence 4, solved him easily, and the time used didn't even exceed ten seconds.

—Lu Mian knew that after he erupted with the "Blood Emperor's" aura, it would inevitably attract the attention of the official Beyonders in the Market District, and they might request help from the church's Saints. So, after "Hela" found her way here, she had to control "Loki" within ten seconds and transfer the location, otherwise, she would likely be blocked by the Saints and Angels of Trier.

This was a demigod!

Thinking of taking revenge on "Loki" and others in the future, thinking of his plan to clear out those evil god believers, thinking of the high-end power that made him feel magical from the bottom of his heart, Lu Mian wished he could summarize more "Incendiary" acting rules, digest this potion within the next two or three months, and try to advance to "Conspirator."

Seeing that Lu Mian didn't have any regret or disappointment, but was full of fighting spirit, "Hela" nodded imperceptibly.

Lu Mian still looked at "Loki's" corpse and said:

"Which evil god does he believe in?"

Hearing this question, Franca's heart moved, and she looked at "Hela":

"It wouldn't be..."

This "Pleasure Witch" paused for a moment, changing into a complex language that Lu Mian couldn't understand:

"Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang..."

"Hela" interrupted her:

"Did you forget I can't understand it either?"

"Uh..." Franca couldn't help but pat her own head.

My pig brain!

"Hela" continued:

"Use Ancient Futhark or Intis to speak. Also, remember, stop for a while after every paragraph, and talk about other things."

Franca said "Hmm," organized her language, and said in Ancient Futhark:

"Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang Celestial Venerable..."

"Hela" interrupted her again and chatted with her about the situation when she was attacked by "Loki."

Then Franca continued the topic from before:

"Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Lord..."

Lu Mian listened quietly, roughly understanding why Ms. "Hela" made this request.

This was to prevent Franca from chanting the evil god's honorific name completely, avoiding being watched by the other party.

"Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang God..." After Franca repeated the third paragraph of the description, she rubbed her head and said, "I heard 'Loki' chant to here at the time, and I felt like the whole person was exiled to another world. Everything looked foggy, everything I heard was unclear, and everything I thought was unusually slow. I only vaguely remembered there should be one more sentence."

"Hela" also helped supplement in Ancient Futhark:

"Fu Sheng, Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang, Celestial Venerable."

This time, she even broke the sentence twice for a single paragraph of description.

"The style of this honorific name is very strange." Lu Mian didn't hide his confusion.

This was quite different from the honorific names of gods like Mr. Fool and the "Eternal Blazing Sun" he knew. Whether it was the format or the wording, it gave people a feeling of coming from other civilizations.

Franca frowned:

"Since you said so, I remembered something."

"What thing?" Lu Mian asked cooperatively.

Franca was about to open her mouth, but suddenly closed it again.

She looked at "Hela," smiling sheepishly:

"You don't mind that I helped Charles mix into the research society to investigate the 'April Fool's' group, right?"

"He was allowed by me." "Hela" responded calmly.

Franca still maintained the "humble" smile just now:

"Then you don't mind that I told Charles the secret of crossing over?"

"Hela" fell silent, and it took several seconds before she said:

"Does it matter if I mind now?

"Conceal both of you?"

"It's because the 'April Fool's' group was suspected of killing 'Muggle,' and to investigate them, I couldn't bypass our secret, so I simply, simply told Charles a little." Franca suddenly remembered that this wasn't entirely a bad thing, and hurriedly added, "Moreover, Charles really helped us find clues related to crossing over, finding the possibility of returning to our world!"

After speaking, she put on an expression of "I have already made up for the mistake with merit."

"What clues?" "Hela" asked in a form of blurting out for the first time.

Franca breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said:

"This is more complicated. I'll talk about the things that those honorific names just now reminded me of.

"Before, weren't we always exchanging with each other, hoping to find commonalities from the things everyone did before crossing over, extracting similarities, and finding the reason? Some people received strange mobile phones, some entered an abandoned ancient temple in the mountains, and some were studying folklore culture. But I have always been unable to say clearly what I did that caused it. It's not that I can't remember, but that I did too many things. You all know, I like novelty. New mobile phones must be bought, new games must be played, new restaurants must be tried, and I like to do clothes to role-play in large exhibitions. I really did too many things before crossing over, and I can't figure out which one caused me to cross over.

"But hearing those few honorific names chanted by 'Loki,' I remembered. That night, I played a new game called 'Terror Attack,' and the hidden monster in it seemed to believe in something called Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang Celestial Venerable."

Although Lu Mian didn't understand what the "game" Franca said was, he fully understood the core meaning this companion wanted to express:

Her crossing over to this world seemed to be related to the "Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang Celestial Venerable" that "Loki" believed in!

"Hela," with her light golden hair naturally draped down, listened quietly, thinking and saying:

"I don't have a similar impression. I mentioned before that I was reading books on niche mythology before crossing over, which mentioned a god good at fraud and pranks, very similar to Loki..."

Franca's eyes lit up, having a guess:

"Could 'Loki' have crossed over directly after chanting those four paragraphs of honorific names? So, as soon as he crossed over, as soon as he recalled what he did at the time, as soon as he tried to restore it, he established a connection with that evil god?

"Hmm, when he communicated on similar issues, he spoke vaguely, and some 'April Fool's' group members were like this too...

"We wouldn't all have been sent over by that Fusheng Fusheng Xuanhuang Celestial Venerable, right? Or, is He in this world, pulling us over?

"He is highly suspicious!"

"Hela" thought for a while and nodded lightly:

"At the next gathering, we can restart this topic and communicate with others with a clear direction."

Franca was stunned for a moment:

"Will those people in the 'April Fool's' group still appear?"

"The ones with problems likely won't." "Hela" said calmly, "Even if we urgently convene a gathering now, we have to notify them one by one. This period of time is enough for 'Loki' to resurrect and warn his accomplices."

Lu Mian raised his eyebrows:

"Why notify everyone? Just invite the 'April Fool's' group members to participate in the emergency gathering. They don't know if others are coming or not.

"Just notifying those dozen people won't take much time."
