Chapter 1969

Iluna pointed confidently at her feet:

"In the first game, I came here and was killed by the 'Gatekeeper of the End, Guardian of the Sanctuary, Undead of the Perpetual Human Reason, Bound Grey-Headed Eagle' here. He said I couldn't come here 'now'. But this time is different. Before the game started, I was allowed to come in. Xia De doesn't mind me standing in his foyer. So, starting the third game from here, I appeared legally and reasonably at 6 St. Deran Square from the beginning. The story imported from here, I enter here is legal."

"Hypothetical" was not surprised, but clapped gently:

"It seems you have really mastered the rules of the game completely. This is good. Please note that the next will be the last game between us. No matter what the result is, this will also be the last chance."

"I understand, I will find a way to save Xia De. He can change other people's endings, and I can change his future."

"Hypothetical"'s parchment roll unfolded. Outside the door was a background of falling snow. Strange golden threads in the air between the two outlined the read content in beautiful flowery Delarion letters:

【You are Iluna Amelia Beiyasi, the chosen hero, the Chosen One of Balance, the protagonist of the stage.】

【Month of Rain-Praying, 26th, you ended your trip and mission in the Green Lake area, and returned to the intersection of fate, Tobesk City, with exhaustion and longing for the future.】

【For strange reasons, you came to 6 St. Deran Square again and stood safely in the foyer. You have obtained the qualification to enter here. Looking at the dilapidated house, what are you going to do next?】

【1. Perhaps you should investigate this house; there are many clues here.】

【2. Prepare for battle; this time you must take revenge on the Grey-Headed Eagle!】

【3. Or leave this dangerous place; personal safety is the most important.】

【4. Or leave this dangerous place, and then report to the church!】

【5. Perhaps there are other ideas.】

Iluna looked around. Xia De's shoes were on the shoe rack, and the spare key and change were in the biscuit box on the shoe cabinet. There were gas lamps and hanging paintings on the walls, the floor mat was not very dirty, and the walls and floors were very tidy. The cat stood on the high part of the stairs watching the two, and the copperplate painting at the corner of the stairs was quite exquisite and high-end.

What "Hypothetical" described was certainly not the present; 6 St. Deran Square was very warm now:

"Perhaps there are other ideas."

Iluna said, her eyes looking at the man holding the parchment:

"I looked at the door, and then I saw the strange man holding the parchment. After identification, I found that it was the Unknown-level relic 【Hypothetical】."

The golden light marks turned into letters between the two and did not dissipate for a long time, and Iluna's answer was also written down by those rays of light.

Behind her was the bustling crowd in St. Deran Square. "Hypothetical" moved his eyes from the parchment in his hand to Iluna, and then nodded gently:

"It seems you really understand."

【Your unexpected inspiration did not make you the first to notice the problem with this strange "haunted house", but instead made you find the Unknown-level relic "Hypothetical" waiting for you outside the door.】

【You confirmed that the other party is harmless to you and is trying to help you find some truth, so what are you going to do next?】

【1. Talk to "Hypothetical" to get more information about "now".】

【2. Prepare for battle; perhaps the dangerous relic in front of me is deceiving me.】

【3. Ignore him; I want to investigate the problem of this house.】

【4. Let's leave here; this house is becoming more and more dangerous.】

【5. Perhaps there are other ideas.】

"Other ideas."

Iluna made the same choice again, and then she turned to look at the stairs behind her. The cat then "meowed" at her, and Iluna nodded at it, but actually it was like seeing the dilapidated 6 St. Deran Square in the distant past:

"I know he is still in the 'present' house; after all, he opened the door last time. I want to call Sparrow Hamilton in this house in the game, yes, that Sparrow Hamilton with a long string of titles. Let him come out. Why didn't he fight with me this time?"

"Hypothetical" nodded gently:

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, of course I want to do this. Wasn't the hint given by the Archangel of Wisdom last time just like this (Chapter 1834)? You are the guide of fate, the Archangel of Wisdom is the enlightenment of wisdom, and I still need to find two of the 'Guardian of Time and Space', 'Guardian of the End', and 'Fire Protector' to get the final hint. Guardian of the End, I think it's him, right?"

Iluna read out that long string of titles again:

"Gatekeeper of the End, Guardian of the Sanctuary, Undead of the Perpetual Human Reason, Bound Grey-Headed Eagle, please come out and see me!"

【In the dilapidated foyer of 6 St. Deran Square, you shouted a certain name towards the end of the dark stairs.】

【You got a response, and Sparrow Hamilton, who should not have appeared in front of you, appeared.】

"Hypothetical"'s description was very simple, and those golden threads only outlined two short lines of text. But Iluna inexplicably felt a chill in her body, and the whisper element was affecting the surrounding environment in a very terrifying state.

Behind the cat, the darkness condensed into a vortex, and mold spots spread along the walls and ceiling, and in the blink of an eye, the stairs and half of the foyer in Iluna's eyes were corroded into a dilapidated appearance.

But other places were still normal.

The cat meowed unhappily, still standing there watching everything below. And in front of the cat, a figure wearing a black coat, holding a cane, and wearing a black top hat appeared out of thin air and walked towards the foyer below.

Sparrow Hamilton's figure really appeared, but this was not the former detective Xia De was familiar with. The expressionless middle-aged man had an exceptionally terrifying aura.

Iluna now knew how she died here in the first game. At this time, even if only the shadow described in the story appeared, the power was far beyond her, who was already at the eighth ring.

She even thought that even if she reached the thirteenth ring, she might not be able to beat this man with a long string of titles.

【The Gatekeeper of the End came to you and looked coldly at you, the Chosen One who stood here by strange means.】

【You were not attacked; your attempt was successful!】

【The Gatekeeper asked you about your intention this time, so what are you going to do?】

【1. Ask why 6 St. Deran Square became so dilapidated.】

【2. Ask about the Gatekeeper's identity and his responsibilities at this time.】

【3. Ask about the end of the world.】

【4. Ask why he thought you shouldn't have come here last time.】

【5. Ask about the uniqueness of 6 St. Deran Square.】

【6. Perhaps you can ask about other things.】

To be honest, Iluna wanted to ask all these questions, but she knew what she was here for this time, and as long as she identified her goal, those interference options could be easily excluded:

"Mr. Sparrow Hamilton, please wait for me here for a while."

She said this, and then chose her next step:

"The basement of this house has the entrance to the 【Space Maze】. This existed before Xia De moved in, so it still exists in the game. I want to use that place to go to the White River Valley Vineyard outside Huntington City, and then, like last time, go to meet the Archangel of Wisdom and invite the Archangel of Wisdom to come here."

【Your approach of making the Gatekeeper wait made him a little impatient, but he still agreed to your request.】

【You went to Huntington City. Because you had reached the Lake of Cherub before, this time you didn't need to catch a stray cat, and you met the Archangel of Wisdom-Cherub very smoothly.】

【You issued an invitation, and the Archangel of Wisdom agreed to your request.】

Several glowing white feathers fell from the sky. In the light and shadow of those feathers, the lady in a white robe holding a cane stood barefoot in the foyer of 6 St. Deran Square.

Radiating pure white light, she nodded slightly to greet Iluna. Iluna didn't care whether this was an angel from a past time point or an angel from the present; anyway, her goal had been achieved.

Hypothetical, the Archangel of Wisdom, and the Gatekeeper were all watching Iluna. Iluna asked "Hypothetical" to give her the choice for the next action.

【The assistant of the ancient god, Archangel of Wisdom-Cherub, responded to your call and came to 6 St. Deran Square with you.】

【You seem to have understood something; perhaps the turning point of fate has really arrived.】

【The Archangel of Wisdom looked at you kindly, so what are you going to do?】

【1. Ask her how to obtain the greatest wisdom.】

【2. Ask her about knowledge of the end of the world.】

【3. Ask her for more detailed rules of the "Hypothetical" game and usable "loopholes".】

【4. Request the Archangel of Wisdom to help you defeat the Gatekeeper of the End to seize ownership of this house.】

【5. Perhaps you can ask about other things.】

"Other things."

Iluna said fluently:

"Not long ago, I asked the nun who protects the fire of this generation what exactly a Fire Protector is. She told me that although she is the nun of this generation, the Fire Protector itself does not refer to her, but to all of them."

Iluna said, taking a deformed silver piece from her pocket, on which blurred patterns could be seen:

"Sister Daifulin told me that seeing a Fire Protector is equivalent to seeing the concept of all past Fire Protector nuns themselves. If it were Sister Daifulin herself, she could indeed call out these 'nun incarnations' under the condition of sacrificing most of the power of the First Fire, but I don't need to do that."

She asked "Hypothetical":

"This is a game, this is not real, so as long as it is possible for me to do it, then I can really do it."

"Hypothetical" smiled and nodded:

【You use the fragment of the "Ancient Mithril Eye Mask of the Fire Protector Nun" to try to call the Fire Protectors to appear.】
