Chapter 1818

~10 min read 1,971 words

The conversation with the two old women was more of an attitude of the Church to show the three major academies that information could be shared. They themselves could not provide too much valuable information to Saint Byrons. It was the interesting information recorded in the classics they donated to the Church that was the most important source of information.

Therefore, the conversation between Miss Danni Steer's group and the believers of the 【Twin Gods】 did not last long, and they politely ended the meeting and left.

Xia De also followed behind Miss Danni Steer, wondering if Grace and Helen would be interested in seeing these two. The Red Butterfly girls had a very complicated view of the 【Twin Gods】. It was indeed this god who gave them the power to be together forever, but it was also this god who led to their fate of suppressing the seal of Sikar Mountain.

The conversation on the Saint Byrons side ended relatively quickly, and the conversation between the professors of the Serkesais Higher School of Medicine and the believers of another Old God had not yet ended, so Miss Danni Steer and the others had to wait a while.

The professors of the Zaras School of Literature on the side also knew that the value of the pair of old ladies was not great, so they were not in a hurry to visit, but chatted with the professors of Saint Byrons. They had already learned in advance that among the people who sealed the central island of Green Lake in ancient times, there were believers of the Old God 【Gate of Yaobian】, so contacting the believers of the Old God here might yield important information.

"Miss Danni Steer, I'm going to the washroom."

After greeting the red-haired female Shushi, Xia De left the reception room temporarily. To show respect, the Church did not arrange too many people in the corridor in front of it, so when Gus saw the pair of twin old women in the corridor in front of the washroom, he thought they were lost there.

He walked up to greet them, but the two old women seemed to be waiting for him there specifically. Their aged faces still carried smiles in the thin sunlight outside the window. They were like the entities transformed by the ancient but dilapidated image of the fallen sect. Looking at them, one could see an organization that was once prosperous, now having reached the very end:

"The Holy Sons, have they chosen you?" "What?"

"I remember you once looked for clues and information about the Old God—【Gate of Yaobian】, so you should know that the scale of this god's believers is not large. Although the one found by the Church now has mastered some information, it is also very limited. For example, he knows

"Fire" is the key to maintaining the seal, and knows that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's intermittent turning green is not due to algae reproduction, but the intermittent influence of the power of another island on reality. However, the two most critical pieces of information he knows are actually..."

Most of the information from the Folen brothers came from Lu Chen or Megan, so Gus was not very interested in them, but he also took two looks when they took out the key that had already been made.

Footsteps came from the other side of the corridor corner, so Gus walked into the washroom. Before long, the Ringed Shushi sent by the Church to take care of the two old women found them and left with them.

"Because of the existence of the national border, the developed industrial cities and the poor ancient cities on the north and south banks are close at hand, but they are 'neighbors at the farthest distance' in the true sense. If they really fold into a whole, then what is destroyed might not just be these two cities. The whole world will slowly but unstoppably fold toward the Yin Yi Yi Lu Na zone.

He was very confused, but did not tell anyone about what had just happened. Before long, he returned to the waiting room to join Miss Danni Xia De and her group. At this time, the professors of the Zaras School of Literature had already set off to visit the two twin old women, while the meeting between the Serkesais Higher School of Medicine and the other believers of the Old God had not yet ended.

The door of the waiting room was pushed open, and Mr. Wood, an 11th-tier Shushi of the local Peace Church who was responsible for entertaining the group, brought the Folen brothers in and introduced them to the professors as "descendants of Edwards".

Shen Yaobian lowered his voice a little:

The small boat summoned by the Miracle—【Call Old Wooden Boat】 had no sails, and even less a steam engine as a power source, but it did not need Su Xing to row; it could move toward the direction Su Xing desired at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

Xia De thought to himself, gradually able to see the lights of the village by the lake through the white fog.

For example, the old woman who married into the Wang Hou family at the lighthouse old tomb and the blacksmith in the town cemetery were both attached to their own graves, while the mineral scholar was a former oil painting. Su Xing certainly had no way to move the entire lake, so he intended to take the remains of the shipwreck away.

These two monsters were not dangerous to him; Su Xing lured them aside before killing them to prevent polluting that stretch of water. After returning to the broken wooden boat, he was troubled by the fact that he could not see the ferryman's soul.

The flickering light of the gas street lamps made everything on the street appear dim and unclear. The phantoms of souls peered at him from the darkness, and the power of death was being stirred by an inexplicable force.

"Then let's take it all away."

"And what is this because of?"

In the wind, there seemed to be the sound of wings flapping, but it also seemed to be just an illusion.

The "ancestor" of Wang Hou, according to the agreement, did not stop Su Xing from leaving the island. When Xia De jumped from the window onto the street, what he saw was that tentacled man—that is, Sloth Wang Hou, who had been transformed into a tentacled evil creature out of fear of death—manipulating a group of tentacles that grew from the ground like giant trees above the town, preventing the spatial anomalies that had appeared on the island from destroying the town.

After successfully leaving the white fog area, he looked up and saw that the number of souls patrolling in the night fog above the lake had increased. Looking into the distance, although he did not see anyone meeting him on the lake, the red butterfly pendant hanging at his waist was now shining brightly.

For Sloth Wang Hou, who possessed both spatial abilities and a body that seemed impossible to destroy, eliminating those things was merely a matter of time. Because of this, Xia De did not encounter any more monster interceptions on his way out.

The cruise ship sailed back silently, heading toward the connection between the Du Yin River and Green Lake. Grace and Helen had already returned; before leaving, they entrusted Duo Luo Xi to pass a letter to Xia De as a farewell, but Duo Luo Xi did not follow, though she should know by now that Su Xing had returned safely.

"This small boat related to the 'True Death' ship clearly still has power I have yet to discover."

Little Mia, who should have been left at the hotel to be cared for by Duo Luo Xi, was now being held by Difa. In the arms of the white-haired maid, she stared wide-eyed at Xia De, seemingly hoping that Su Xing would swap the girl in his arms with the cat in Difa's arms.

Although the island was covered with various lingerers from the Green Lake town era, those souls could only be observed completely under conditions of spatial chaos. Xia De was actually waiting at the bottom of the water, but he was afraid the Doctor and the others would worry about him. But to leave just like that, he was worried other situations might arise.

"The Church should be able to clean up these things, right?"

Because Luweiya had provided the specific location, Xia De, who was also fast underwater, discovered a strange spot with a faint green light beneath the waters of the northeastern part of the island before long.

He thought of the Diviner's words on the island just now, and with that on his mind, perhaps he would have to find him to talk again.

Another matter crossed his mind:

Even if most of the souls on the island were lingering because of that Angel-level relic 【Soul Storybook】, they all met the main characteristics of souls that could not leave—that is, they had to rely on a certain item or a certain location to exist.

Lei Qianya was still wearing the dress she had prepared to wear on her date with Xia De, only now she had draped a women's coat over it. The red-haired Princess stood beside her grandniece, looking at Xia De, who was looking up from the bow of the small boat. Their eyes met, and Xia De actually felt he understood the helplessness in the latter's eyes.

When Xia De also arrived on the deck, Lei Qianya was the first to step forward and hug him, and she refused to let go. The Doctor leaned against the deck railing and gave Xia De a gesture that everything was fine.

The fragments of the shipwreck were placed on the boat, and the two main parts were tied with ropes, then towed by Xia De's small boat as they sailed away from the island.

Seeing that the small boat was still dragging something behind it, Megan signaled to a few of her mid-tier girls to go to the water surface to help Xia De move the remains of the broken boat onto the deck of the cruise ship.

The guests leaving the station quickly blended into the city, and behind them, the elderly who were unwilling to crowd with others and the old priest in a white robe finally walked out of the station's main gate and arrived on the quiet street.

At the same time, at the Green Lake City train station, the arriving train had already stopped steadily. The passengers carrying large and small bags of luggage, even though they were travel-worn, were still very interested in this city that was undergoing major negotiations.

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na and Megan personally moved the important remains of the small boat using spells, transporting it to the cabin. The Doctor pointed to the sky, and Su Xing nodded:

Leaving the train station, he saw the night sky covered by thick fog again. The sound of discussion added a bit of vitality to this quiet night. However, soon, patrolling police and unknown teams persuaded them to return to their residences as soon as possible. At the same time, the rumor that there might be martial law tonight made the guests who did not understand the city somewhat panicked.

The cold night wind blew, making the priest's robe flutter and rustle backward. In the fog swirling overhead, there seemed to be countless terrifying faces, and in the shadows of the street, those unclear shadows were becoming more numerous.

"You certainly didn't think of that, this relic wouldn't be on the island over there, right?"
