……
"Do you feel it?"
Entering the door of the rented house, Leon stamped his feet, as if this could get rid of the creepy feeling.
"From a while ago, I had the illusion that something was staring at me."
"That's not an illusion." Baliu frowned. As a tree person of the devil vine system, some of her senses were much sharper than those of Leon, a half-baked tree person, and she really saw it with her own eyes - there were at least more than six people at the time, and they were observing this side with their peripheral vision.
"We were discovered?" Li Ang didn't understand. "But how?"
If it was a rookie agent who had never been to the capital, he might have made mistakes in disguising his whereabouts, but what was his experience? To be frank, infiltration in disguise was exactly what he was good at.
The same thing happened to Bariu, who could even physically change her body shape and appearance. With the two of them plus the old ranger Aman, even if something went wrong and they were discovered, it shouldn't be in this way.
"There's something strange here." A'man said slowly, "I don't know if you have this sense, but ever since I came to this place, I've been feeling anxious, chest tightness, and nausea."
"Have you eaten too much?"
"For safety reasons, we only eat the dry food we bring with us. We only have a small quota every day. You come and teach me how to eat more."
A'man retorted to Li Ang with a dark face.
"Tell me in detail how you feel, King Aman." Baliu took his words very seriously, and then she turned to her husband and said, "After all, he has begun to awaken Angelo's abilities. This situation is not normal."
"My feeling?" A'man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "My feeling is... I feel like those people outside are like twins."
"I'm sorry - but this statement..."
"It's not physical." A'man opened his eyes, "It's spiritual... Do you understand?"
How can anyone understand what you said when it's so abstract?
Li Ang frowned and grinned at the same time, and the word "disbelief" was almost written on his face.
A'man wanted to say something, but suddenly - Baliu grabbed them one by one, pressed their heads down hard.
"..." The two were surprised at first, then their faces turned gloomy. They squatted down cooperatively, imitating Baliu's posture by pressing their entire backs against the wall, trying their best to stop their physical breathing.
Looking at Baliu again, Miss Devil Vine raised her index finger and pointed upwards.
Looking up, I saw a row of heads slowly popping out from the top of the front courtyard wall.
Le Ang felt conflicted when thinking about this wording. They were indeed human heads, but it was impossible for a person to stretch his neck to three times its length to spy into the courtyard. He no longer thought that these things were human. What made him even more uneasy and even panicked was the uniform movements of these people.
Looking up like this, there are five heads. All you can see are the necks and chins, and some protruding noses.
Two wore hats and two didn't, four men and one woman.
They are of different social classes and genders, they are just five strangers.
Five passers-by who were probably strangers to them suddenly stopped outside the courtyard wall and stretched their necks to see them. This in itself was fucking weird.
A'man remained calm and slowly drew out the dagger with his right hand.
He looked at the two Sarah agents, glanced sideways, and weighed the dagger.
Li Ang shook his head.
Baliwu also shook his head.
We have no idea what the situation is right now, so it’s best to observe for a while before making a decision.
A'man frowned, thinking that these people were being overly cautious.
If he were to make his own judgement - there was a high probability that his whereabouts had been exposed. Although he didn't understand why Oujin City, where Hitzfeld had always claimed that there wouldn't be many enemies, was acting strangely everywhere, he had already been discovered anyway, so he might as well just let go and kill them all.
I'm in no hurry.
Sheathing the knife, A'man advised himself in his heart.
Even in a place like this, he couldn't escape.
"What are you doing here? Who are they?"
The three people sitting at the wall suddenly widened their eyes and saw Darent coming out from behind with his trousers held up. After seeing the scene in front of them, they were stunned.
Wow, five long necks?
What kind of monster is this?
Does that mean we were discovered?
Darent's face changed. He saw the five human heads with twisted necks showing ferocious expressions to him. Their lips were split to the ears and their oral structures were completely mutated.
Just as he put his hand on the holster, Aman's figure suddenly jumped up from below.
A flash of silver light appeared and two heads flew off. At the same time, daggers and tree roots pierced the other three heads from the chin... Just as the three of them started to fight, they heard a loud roar from outside and quickly grabbed Darent: "Go from the back!"
"We've been discovered?" Darent glared on the road.
"I'm afraid it was from the beginning!" Leon shouted.
"Find a way to get out!"
"Give her the stuff!"
……
A group of people, including "Improl", have entered the inner hall of the royal palace.
The structure of the Xinoujin Palace is very mysterious. Not only is the exterior rising in a spiral shape, but even the inner hall is made up of spiral steps. The former reminds people of the whirlpool abyss from a distance, and the latter... As for Hitzfeld's thoughts, she thought of the genetic spiral.
"I have a bad feeling..."
Madeline hid behind Xia Yibing and trembled a little when she spoke in a low voice.
"Relax Madeline." Xia Yibing glanced at the subordinate and suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?"
Madeline was stunned.
If I say I don't regret it, I'd be lying.
Are you kidding? Extraordinary people are also human beings. As human beings, they will be afraid...
It's okay that this place is so weird and strange, but the main purpose of following here was to use the blood of the Neon people to muddy the water as they said.
But now it seems that she is of no use at all, why can't she feel regret?
But there are always some things that cannot be seen so simply.
"I think." Madeline took a deep breath.
"This opportunity to leave my name in history is right in front of me. If I stay on the ground and miss it, I will really regret it in the future."
"Well said." Xia Yibing smiled.
"This is our Shadow Lion Agent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard leading the way suddenly stopped.
So they stopped out of inertia, and then they felt a slight vibration under their feet, and the amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger.
“Not just the palace.”
Improl said calmly.
"This city is finally about to fulfill its final mission, and the fate of Aisha Continent has also come."
"What do you mean?" Luca asked, turning back.
"Same thing." He still got a counter-question, "Why don't you think about why I only said those words to her."
she?
Following his gaze, Luca looked at Hitzfeld.
He suddenly realized that the huge changes in the Corrupted Blood Kingdom seemed to be related to the other party.
The assassination started from Inian Harbor...
Tracing back to the centuries-old bloody battle in history...
Collusion and conspiracy surfaced...
And this guy... He also had to wait until she arrived before he would speak!
Why? What is Esuan Hitzfeld connected to?
Could it be...
Luca suddenly thought of a possibility.
The words they mentioned before.
【Divine Eye】
Improl did not keep the secret and continued, "Compared to the power he possesses, I am not strong enough."
"I can only barely suppress the madness in my bones. In fact, I know very well that the reason why I can exist and the reason why his bones can be preserved is that he is waiting for an opportunity to let the blood, bones and flesh merge into one again and restore his complete self."
"...How can such a thing be done?" Luca suspected that he was listening to a fairy tale.
"Just find a medium." This time it was Hitzfeld who took the initiative to speak.
"His goal is to achieve immortality and to devour and replace at least one great being. So there are only a few problems he needs to solve, which are how to pass on the memories of the great beings and how to transform and absorb their power."
"He used the divine fire seeds of the Holy City of Oujin to purify the divine corpse, which shows that he urgently needs the power of the goddess. So if we think about it from another angle, the blood that was actually separated by the goddess...wouldn't it have a better effect?"
She said the blood of God...
Even Madeline looked shocked.
God's Blood - God's Devourer?
The ultimate goal of Yin Seer’s series of plans, my God... is it her divine eye?
So Your Majesty is really being controlled, or at least influenced by his will?
Is this exploration mission initiated by the White Shadow Palace simply a trap set by the enemy?
Exploration Mission - Was it a conspiracy all along?
It turns out that they are sending us to die?
Yinsel wants eternal life → needs to devour the flesh and blood of the god's corpse → roast the god's corpse with the help of the seed of divine fire → sprinkle rotten blood and halo to share memories → the blood of the goddess can speed up the process → plot to get Hitzfell's eye → control Queen Elwyn to issue an exploration mission → try to get her and her divine eye before the truth is discovered and she is protected.
A complete chain of logic quickly took shape in Madeline's mind, and at the same time, the others also almost understood why Aisuen Hitzfeld was the key to all the problems.
"Did you guess it?"
Madeline turned to look at Xia Yibing, and found that although her face did not look very good, she did not show much shock.
She felt particularly confused: "You guessed it - why did you come here?"
A series of assassinations, targeting, concealment, deception... all of which were aimed at misleading the exploration team's judgment. Yinsel was even so despicable as to use Alwin's safety as bait just to trick them up.
To be fair, it was normal to be deceived after planning to this extent, and Madeline didn't feel that she was making a mistake by being fooled like this.
But they obviously guessed it!
They clearly knew that they might be here to die!
Why do we still——
She said something extremely unethical - Wouldn't it be better to just stop the loss on the existing basis?
Even if it meant sacrificing the youngest queen in Sara's history, she felt it was better than the current situation.
At least I won't help Yin Seer get the divine eye!
Xia Yibing ignored her and looked at the girl in front of her.
She actually had a lot to say to Madeleine. At this moment, she thought of her father, her mother, her brothers and sisters from her childhood memories, and Batty Villefort, the contradictory guy who was both her benefactor and enemy.
Yes…she wanted to say that this was more of a personal grudge than official business.
A hundred years of bloody battles, tampered history, and the demise of the Oath Keeper family. She actually has sufficient reasons and position to say "this is a personal grudge." No one can stand on the moral high ground to accuse her of anything, and nothing she does can be said to be wrong.
She was qualified, but she still didn't say anything.
She felt Hitzfeld was more qualified than she was.
"shallow."
This was the comment Madeline received.
"Am I superficial?"
