Chapter 894

Lu Mian cast his gaze toward his right shoulder.

Before this, he had anticipated many situations, but he hadn't anticipated that the contract mark corresponding to the "Abscessed Severed Hand" would have an abnormal reaction when he touched "Earth's Gift," bringing stinging pain and coldness.

"Is this because the complete 'Abscessed Severed Hand' has the contamination of the 'Great Mother,' or is the severed hand brother himself related to the 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella to a certain extent? After He became a puppet of '0—01' and met me, the one He shouted was Omebella..." Lu Mian frowned imperceptibly and had a rough guess.

It was very strange that the original body of the "Abscessed Severed Hand," as an angel, had no high-level being who remembered Him!

Combining some thoughts when looking at the records related to Omebella before, Lu Mian suspected whether the severed hand brother was also an angel whose identity and fate had been stolen by an enemy, and who had also suffered the tragedy of being dismembered and sealed everywhere to prevent Him from resurrecting.

However, such suspicion couldn't explain one problem—judging from the situation where the "Abscessed Severed Hand" evolved toward the female direction after all its body parts aggregated, showing the characteristics related to the "Moon" pathway Sequence 1 "Beauty Goddess," He had either been deeply contaminated by the "Great Mother" or had obtained corresponding gifts. Who would dare to bear such a fate?

"Perhaps the severed hand brother both satisfies the two conditions of not possessing necessary wisdom and having obtained the high-level gift of the 'Great Mother,' will naturally make a reaction to the matter of the divine child, and exists in a thousand-thread connection with Omebella... He should be an angel of the 'Moon' pathway, and exactly an adjacent pathway to the 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella...

"I don't know how many high-level beings from the Second Epoch survived... but they might not know about this aspect, like the 'Full Moon Duke' of the Blood Clan..." Lu Mian suppressed the doubt in his heart and looked toward "Earth's Gift," which existed in the form of a withered tree trunk, again.

After the first contact, he had confirmed that he wouldn't die on the spot because of this, so he tried to press his right palm onto the grey-brown tree trunk where raised and concave parts coexisted again.

The fragrance of flowers and the fishy smell of blood pierced into his nose. He saw that hazy sky shrouded in dark mist again, and saw the giant light shadow that seemed to be able to support heaven and earth and the strange figure outlined by blurred lines.

This time, Lu Mian felt pain, felt horror, and also felt the madness of wanting to make all things return to the earth.

He fell into the familiar darkness, which had no bit of light, quiet to the point of deathly silence.

As time passed second by second, a shrill cry gradually sounded in his ears, calling for her child Omebella.

This made Lu Mian wake up bit by bit, and then he felt the stinging pain and coldness of his right shoulder.

He endured this feeling and wasn't pushed out of the hallucination.

The darkness shattered quickly, and Lu Mian saw the light of morning dawn, saw faces that were determined, and felt anger, hatred, and hostility in his heart.

At this time, he heard a voice, a gentle yet painful female voice:

"Gidas..."

Lu Mian "woke" up. What entered his eyes was the distorted face outlined by raised and concave parts on the withered tree trunk, and the two giant crimson flowers serving as the eyes of the face.

His palm was still pressed on the tree trunk.

"The scenes I saw and heard just now are Omebella's final obsession, the few scenes that left the deepest impression on Her? Combining the corresponding emotions, does the world shrouded in dark mist correspond to Her first death? Is one of the giant light shadows and blurred figures the high-level being who stole Her identity and fate?

"What do that deathly dark and shrill cry represent? I heard similar cries in the depths of the Netherworld. At that time, I shared the senses of the creature inside the bird egg... The bird egg represents gestation... Does the deathly dark correspond to the state of Omebella before birth, or, the state before regaining new life? The voice crying and looking for the child pulled Omebella from the depths of death, letting Her obtain new life?

"This kind of new life will reset identity and fate, making the theft invalid?

"Do the protagonists of the third scene, morning dawn and human faces, with emotions of anger and hatred, correspond to Omebella being killed by Bai Yin City?

"Mm, these can indeed be called obsessions, having a critical influence on Omebella's fate...

"Who is the 'Gidas' called at the end?"

As his thoughts turned, Lu Mian turned his head and looked at Mr. "Sun," who was tall and steady beside him:

"Have you heard the name Gidas?"

"'You' is fine. In the church, no one is nobler than anyone else." Mr. "Sun" Derrick Berg first corrected him, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard this name."

"When the 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella came to Bai Yin City for the last time, was there anyone named Gidas among the high-level members of Bai Yin City?" Lu Mian pursued.

Mr. "Sun" answered in a very certain tone:

"No."

Gidas is not the person who killed Omebella... Who could it be? Thinking of this, Lu Mian suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Could this be the name of the severed hand brother?

Since the severed hand brother could shout Omebella at me and make the contract mark undergo an abnormal change when I contacted "Earth's Gift," then theoretically, the remnant of Omebella inside "Earth's Gift" could also discover the "Abscessed Severed Hand" contract mark on me and shout His name!

Lu Mian withdrew his right hand, waited for dozens of seconds, and pressed his palm onto the withered tree trunk for the third time.

Those hallucinations and auditory hallucinations appeared again, but there was no more content.

Lu Mian sighed inwardly, crouched down slightly, adjusted his cloak, pressed his other hand onto the surface of "Earth's Gift," and grabbed the most solid and obvious raised piece.

Immediately afterward, he bit his teeth tightly, the veins on his neck bulged, and the blue on his temples jumped.

This made Mr. "Sun's" eyelids jump, seemingly not expecting that a beautiful female with a cold expression would show such a side.

Soon, the brownish-brown soil began to loosen, and Lu Mian forcibly pulled up the withered, giant tree trunk.

The entire New Bai Yin City shook inexplicably, shaking gently.

Lu Mian half-held the seven or eight-meter-high withered tree trunk and tried to wave it.

"Barely can be used to smash people, but it will make agility drop to the lowest, and speed will also slide significantly..." Lu Mian judged whether he could use "Earth's Gift" to fight in the future, and then inserted the giant withered tree trunk back into that pile of brownish-brown soil.

Almost at the same time, he felt a certain power in his bloodline surge toward his abdomen, making it slightly stinging, as if something was gestating there.

Lu Mian raised his right hand and pressed toward the position corresponding to his stomach with quiet and evil black flames.

For a moment, he had a maternal emotion of reluctance and pity, but this couldn't stop him from pouring the "Witch's" black flames into his abdomen using the "Fire Injection" method.

Indescribable pain, loss, and sadness surged into his heart at the same time. His face turned pale, and his slightly pale lips trembled uncontrollably.

This made Mr. "Sun" Derrick Berg couldn't help but ask:

"Do you need my help to dispel the negative effects, or find a Beyonder to provide treatment?"

Lu Mian shook his head, curled his lips, and said in a low voice:

"A small matter."

He turned to remind Mr. "Sun":

"Even for Beyonders who possess divinity, after contacting 'Earth's Gift,' they may conceive, and those who possess Omebella's bloodline will be more likely to encounter this matter."

"We don't have records of this point. In history, the number of times Bai Yin City needed to actively use this sealed artifact was very, very few, and every time, the user died very quickly." Mr. "Sun" nodded.

Lu Mian didn't speak anymore, turned his body, walked step by step toward the outside of this giant room, and walked toward the mottled stairs leading to the top of the round tower. Mr. "Sun" followed quietly behind.

…………

In the hotel room.

Lu Mian wrote the gains and questions from reading Omebella's records and contacting "Earth's Gift" into a letter.

He then summoned the "Doll" messenger and handed this letter and a mirror to it—with this marked mirror, he could directly transmit information to Lady "Magician" through the Mirror World afterward.

The "Doll" messenger took the letter and the mirror, but didn't leave immediately. Wearing a light golden small dress, it leaned against the window frame, seriously and intently sizing up Lu Mian.

Lu Mian raised his eyebrows and said:

"What are you looking at?"

The "Doll" messenger jumped up, floated in mid-air, and said with an indignant face:

"Don't you know how beautiful you look now?

"Beautiful to the point that I can ignore that you are still wearing men's clothes, beautiful to the point that I can forgive why you didn't tidy yourself up more neatly!"

Lu Mian was speechless for a moment.

The "Doll" messenger waved its hand and said reluctantly:

"See you next time!"

"See you next time." Lu Mian replied politely.

It was only a quarter of an hour later when the "Doll" messenger emerged from the void, holding a bulging envelope, and said happily:

"We meet again!"

"Yeah." Lu Mian was a bit helpless.

He took the envelope, opened it, and found that the letter itself was very thin, mainly with an extra green gemstone.

That gemstone was deep and charming, and the crystalline green was unusually dreamlike.

Lu Mian only took one look and felt his vision and soul sinking into it.

He quickly forced himself to move his gaze away, unfolded the letter paper with suspicion, and read:

"The theft of Omebella's identity and fate didn't expire before the Fifth Epoch...

"We will inquire about the name 'Gidas' from the ancient creatures who survived the Second Epoch, including seeking revelation from higher-level beings.

"The origin of this name might be able to solve those mysteries on Omebella...

"That green gemstone was made by Miss 'Justice' at my request, with the purpose of helping you seal part of the knowledge related to the great existences. Although there is still quite a bit of contamination and seals on you, as long as you don't recall those knowledge, there will be no problem. But we cannot guarantee that you won't encounter situations where you need to recall. Before you possess a true or false angel rank, this hypnotic effect will not be lifted."

Lu Mian understood the reason, looked at the green gemstone again, and let his mind sink into it.

When he woke up, that green gemstone was already ordinary, and he had forgotten part of the knowledge.

"But it can still be worth quite a bit of money." Lu Mian put away this green gemstone and said to the "Doll" messenger who was still staying on the desk, "See you next time."

The "Doll" messenger waved in response:

"See you next time!"

After leaving the room, Lu Mian said to Franca, Jenna, Ludwig, and the others:

"We are returning to Trier now."
