Chapter 595: Fooling

Facing Gandalf's question, the "Bard" spoke of the past in a flat, straightforward manner:

"I don't know. He never told me.

"Some time after forming the 'Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society,' I discovered that that guy had some behaviors and expressions that were very much like he had been influenced by the Celestial Worthy. Similarly, he also discovered that I had a similar situation, so we approached each other, tested each other, and finally confirmed it, having the plan to set up an 'April Fools'' group."

"Gandalf" and "Hela" asked about the Celestial Worthy for a while. After having no more ideas, Lu Mian, who was dressed as "Muggle," looked at the "Bard" and said:

"What was the purpose you wanted to achieve by destroying the Sea Prayer Ceremony?"

"It was to control the spaceship on the seabed. That is enough for us to travel through the starry sky and resist angels to a certain extent..." The "Bard" confessed the plan of "April Fools'" for this operation.

Lu Mian gradually curled the corners of his mouth:

"Do you know what is sealed in the depths of that spaceship?"

Hearing this, Fors suddenly noticed the point:

Spaceship?

Is that thing on the seabed of Santa Port a spaceship?

Wouldn't this be too sci-fi and not occult enough?

Does this world have everything?

—In order to interrogate the "Bard," this living core member of "April Fools'," as quickly as possible, Lu Mian and Fors hadn't communicated much before entering the Night Country.

"Spaceship..." "Gandalf" also repeated this noun, his tone carrying a bit of yearning that couldn't be concealed.

"Hela" maintained the silence of the night.

The "Bard" answered Lu Mian's question:

"According to our deciphering of the language and the revelation given by the Celestial Worthy, that spaceship has the function of a culture dish and a gestation chamber. It should be gestating a high-status creature. Controlling it would mean controlling that high-status creature. Otherwise, relying on the spaceship itself is not enough to resist angels."

"Aurora's" lip line smiled even more beautifully:

"Then have you ever thought about why the ancient angels who sealed that spaceship back then didn't control that spaceship, why they didn't control that high-status creature, or directly destroy them?"

The "Bard" was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"It might have required a long time to let that high-status creature gestate. Controlling the spaceship at that time would have caused everything to be aborted. It had to wait until recent years, when that high-status creature was about to be born, to be able to control it."

Lu Mian's smile under the hood became even more brilliant:

"If that's really the case, the ancient angels who sealed that high-status creature back then would definitely have taken action. Do you have the confidence to resist an angel and win that spaceship, or do you feel the angels didn't decipher or couldn't decipher the true meaning of those orders?"

"So many years have passed, they might have already fallen..." Speaking of this, the "Bard" suddenly paused.

He had seen the creature in the altar in a dream. That creature was suspected to be a clone of that ancient angel back then. His performance proved that the ancient angel back then was very likely still alive and still watching Milo Village and that sea area.

"How did we not think of confirming it before starting the entire plan..." The "Bard" said the question in his heart without obvious emotional fluctuation.

Lu Mian answered him with a smile:

"I can tell you again, what is sealed inside the spaceship is not a high-status creature, but a black hole in gestation. Once you break the seal and drive the spaceship away, it will absorb the occult matrix, absorb you, take shape completely, tear apart, and swallow the current world.

"The ancient angels back then definitely didn't try to control it because it was very dangerous, you idiots!"

The "Bard" was stunned again, as if he had never thought about this aspect of the matter.

After a while, he said in a posture of not resisting:

"We, perhaps, were all fooled..."

Although the "Bard" could no longer have emotional fluctuations, the blood-colored liquid that seeped out from the simple bandage and slid along the edge of the bridge of his nose still made him present a bit of misery and wretchedness.

Lu Mian laughed out loud, laughing until he bent his waist and back slightly:

"You only now discovered that you were all fooled by that Celestial Worthy? His giving revelations was to mislead you, open the seal through your deaths, destroy this world, and achieve His own purpose!

"Haha, sure enough, it's 'April Fools',' a group of idiots huddling together!"

The "Bard" was silent again, and then said the words in his heart with a posture of not resisting:

"We are idiots, really idiots..."

On the other side, the performances of "Gandalf" and the others were different.

F*ck, black hole? Destroy this world? Fors had thought that the information about the spaceship was already very explosive, but didn't expect there was something even more terrifying behind it.

And a certain existence could also create black holes?

Fors, who originally didn't have an intuitive feeling or understanding of how powerful the top-level power was, truly experienced what a great existence was.

She had felt before that she already had enough understanding of this world, but now she frankly admitted:

I'm still a primary school student!

"Gandalf" took a light breath and said:

"If I became a god, how convenient would research be... Black hole..."

"Hela" took out a metal flask from her black widow clothing and took a gulp, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lu Mian laughed for a while, feeling that he was much more comfortable, but there was still pain tearing at his soul, echoing in the shadows of his heart, impossible to eliminate and difficult to ignore.

Once he saw the core members of "April Fools'," he would inevitably think of his sister Aurora's encounter and think of her death.

The "Bard" stood there, as if reminding him of this fact that had been deliberately ignored.

Therefore, he couldn't help but directly say "kill him and perform spirit mediumship," and took action half-truly and half-falsely.

Lu Mian looked at the "Bard" and asked along the way:

"Do you know that 'Ultraman' and 'Mad Woman' went to Cordu Village?"

"I know." The "Bard" answered, "One part of our original plan was to find Norphi, that child of the 'Sea Maid.' She also lives in the Riston Province of Intis, so it was just right to stop by Cordu Village to confirm the situation of 'Muggle' and confirm the final result of the prank."

Hearing the noun "prank," the blue veins on Lu Mian's forehead throbbed:

"How did you confirm that 'Muggle' had, had already died?"

Hearing Lu Mian, who was disguised as "Muggle," raise this question, "Gandalf" sighed again, and Fors "hey"ed in her heart.

The "Bard" shook his head:

"I don't know clearly. It was 'Mad Woman' and 'Ultraman' who went. They told me that the village had been completely destroyed, and it was impossible for anyone to have survived. Perhaps they had also used 'divination,' 'spirit mediumship,' and other methods to confirm it."

"Impossible for anyone to have survived?" Lu Mian laughed. "Am I not a person?"

The "Bard" looked at him and said the words in his heart:

"You might not count as a person anymore."

It's not wrong to say that. I am now a humanoid sealed artifact with self-awareness and fate... Lu Mian first mocked himself, then said, "The number of survivors is more than you imagine. A certain lady and her husband, butler, and maid all ran away."

Not giving the "Bard" a chance to respond, he asked further:

"What purpose did 'Loki' want to achieve by borrowing the 'Muggle' matter?"

"I didn't truly participate in this matter, just provided some suggestions. I don't know much." The "Bard" answered truthfully. "'Ultraman' might know a little. He and 'Loki' had some cooperation in other aspects."

"Which aspects?" Lu Mian pursued.

The "Bard" shook his head slowly:

"Not clear specifically. It should be related to the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church."

Related to the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church? "Ultraman" is a Sequence 5 "Priest of Light" of the "Sun" pathway... The humanoid sealed artifact that appeared on the ceremonial ship was lost by the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church... Lu Mian suddenly had a thought:

"Do you 'April Fools'' have core members who aren't transmigrators?"

He and Fors and others had a misunderstanding before, that "April Fools'" was equivalent to fallen, deteriorated transmigrators, but as an organization, it naturally had a tendency to develop and expand outward.

After so many years, "April Fools'" might not necessarily not have some other core members!

The "Bard" nodded:

"Yes."

Sure enough... Lu Mian looked at Fors, who was dressed as an assassin, and asked for confirmation:

"Is one of them a 'Purifier' of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church, and their status is not low?"

"Yes." The "Bard" gave an affirmative answer again. "It was because of him that when we changed the plan, we knew there was such a Level 1 sealed artifact that could be utilized, and dared to help it escape the seal."

"Who is he?" Fors asked on behalf of "007" who wasn't present.

"'Loki' contacted him on a single line." The "Bard" indicated that he didn't know the true identity of that member either.

Fors laughed "hehe":

"If the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church really investigates, they might find some clues."

A Level 1 sealed artifact isn't a meat pie on the street; you can't steal it just because you want to!

Lu Mian looked at "Gandalf" and "Hela" separately. Seeing they had nothing else to ask, he had to continue looking at the "Bard":

"What do you know about 'Loki's' ancient castle?"

"'Dilan,' a very nice name." The "Bard" began to narrate. "'Loki' once told me that that ancient castle was hidden and couldn't be found or seen normally. That is to say, it was impossible to lock onto its location through its appearance or history to find it.

"I had always envied 'Loki' for having the opportunity to inherit such a treasure and such an ancient castle as soon as he transmigrated, and later, with the help of the Celestial Worthy's revelation and corresponding gifts, he achieved success. I once wanted to cheat the Dilan ancient castle over, but failed."
