"Is this so?"
"I'm sorry that I couldn't help you... Your Highness Julia."
"No, you don't have to apologize." Hitzfeld stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand, which was already wearing a gold glove, to him.
"I can see that you have been reluctant. Perhaps this meeting was too abrupt. This is my problem. I should be the one apologizing."
“No way…” Li Lan showed an honest smile, and stretched out his right hand, saying: “In fact, I have also thought about whether to use the relationship of senior sister. I heard from Mi Mo that you two have a very good relationship, but it may be because you just graduated. I am a little embarrassed about this kind of thing…”
Excluding those weird retreats, his performance was impeccable. Even with Hitzfeld's eyesight, he couldn't see any signs of lying, so it was basically determined that the "Lilan-Yondor" in front of him was not the one Xia Yibing had asked for help. He was just like the other Misros people here, just a pitiful remnant whose cognition was deceived by Lana.
But, this is exactly what feels wrong to me.
Hitzfeld's mind became more and more determined.
In reality, Li Lan was able to bypass Lana and communicate with others, which shows that his spirit must have something special.
He had said it with great pride at the time: He was one of the greatest heroes in the history of civilization, his spirit was special, and even Lana couldn't do anything to him.
So how did he end up in this situation?
As long as it was Li Lan, as long as it was this person's spiritual consciousness, this situation should not have happened - he should have taken the initiative to give her various hints, or even contacted her to discuss how to kill Lana.
So there must be something wrong with Li Lan.
What's the problem?
Manion had already given the hint.
Now all Hitzfeld has to do is verify what's in her mind - since this cognitive tampering is based on her memory, then "handshake" is indeed a customary etiquette, isn't it?
It should be inertial and subconscious.
So when Li Lan realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Although both parties were wearing gloves, their fingers touched quickly.
Hitzfeld looked normal. She kept smiling throughout the process, but her eyes were fixed on Li Lan's face, not missing even the slightest change.
She was right... After the touch, the boy pulled his entire arm back as if he had been electrocuted. At the same time, his face turned pale and he began to sweat, and he fell down limply as if he had an illness.
"Li Lan!" Xi Wei, who was beside him, quickly supported him and apologized, "I'm sorry, Your Highness... I'm afraid we have to leave first..."
She also glanced towards "Julia" out of habit.
Just this one look.
Her eyes met the girl's deep pupils.
Julia's hair was scarlet, and her eyes were a similar color. This kind of eye contact should only reveal this kind of scene, but for some reason, Xiwei felt that there was another pair of eyes staring at her from behind those scarlet eyes, and their colors seemed to be different, one was pure blue like the sea, and the other was dazzling gold like the sun.
At this moment, her expression changed.
Another face was torn out of the void, a twisted, rotten, nightmare face filled with pus, blood, and follicles.
As the changes occurred on her body, Hitzfeld stepped onto the table and pounced on her. She didn't intend to use any fighting skills, she just pounced on the girl and reached out to grab her neck.
As the distance between the two of them shortened, Xivi's face became more and more horrifying. It felt as if another ugly monster had overlapped in the spatial coordinates of her body. She felt that she had no control over her body at all and could only dodge according to the monster's wishes.
But it was useless, the light chamber was too narrow, and Hitzfeld easily hit her, causing her to scream.
"what!!!"
She screamed, burning black smoke came out of her body. Her skin quickly rotted and decayed, and in the blink of an eye she turned from a black-haired beautiful girl into a humanoid monster.
Hitzfeld did not let her go. He continued to get closer, pinning her down with his knees, riding on her, and strangling her neck with both hands.
"No...don't touch me! Get away! Don't touch me!!!"
Xiwei screamed loudly for mercy.
Hitzfeld was unmoved.
A minute passed, and her struggles gradually faded. Starting from the part of her body that was touched by the girl, her disgusting body began to decay and crumbled into fine dust bit by bit.
Only at this point did Hitzfeld breathe a sigh of relief.
She stood up again, turned around, and found that the beautiful green-haired boy was staring at her in amazement.
"No one will disturb us now," she spoke again.
"Does my gaze make you feel uncomfortable?"
"I……"
Li Lan's mind went blank.
"Wait... don't come over here... don't come over here!"
He found that "Julia" was approaching him again, and he thought that the other party was also going to use strange magic to turn him into a monster and then kill him. His face was full of despair and fear.
Hitzfeld didn't bother to guess how he felt, so he just moved closer. Before he even touched him, he heard him let out several miserable howls.
Li Lan also began to experience a "torn" change. Black smoke began to rise from his body, and half of his ugly and terrifying face was torn off from his left face, floating in the air like a ghost, with the end still tightly connected to him.
Hitzfeld stretched out his hand and pinched the middle part, and before she could exert any force, the remaining half of the face wailed and turned into dust.
it is as expected……
gravitational……
She withdrew her hand and stared at it as if she was seeing it for the first time, wondering what had changed in her.
This is undoubtedly the influence of "authority". Although I was suppressed in the territory of Namiia - because it was the world of Amen-Haven after all. Xia and I were like guests who got the key to enter and could not make changes to the layout of the house.
This repression deceives us into thinking that we are still human.
But it’s actually different now…
From the first time we were the only ones pulled in, I should have sensed the nature of this difference...
Just as a celestial body with a high enough mass will produce gravity to tear the magnetic field of the universe, a spirit with a mass exceeding the threshold, even if she has no idea what kind of power she possesses and does not know how to use this power, even if she does nothing, her actions, her words, her gaze, and even the letters she writes and sends by hand, will also interpret and radiate this power.
In this endless dream woven by the spirit of the Great One, any residual soul that comes into contact with her, no matter what form of contact, will inevitably be disturbed by her "gravity".
Those who have been deceived may regain consciousness.
Those who are awake may be able to break free from control.
Those with ill intentions will reveal evil thoughts.
Even those who have forgotten who they are will recall the sad truth buried under this starry sky.
"Huh...huh..."
Li Lan lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Although he looked disheveled, he looked much healthier than at the beginning.
His skin regained its rosy color, his eyes became more lively, and that youthful look had completely disappeared from him, replaced by a sense of vicissitudes.
He had realized what had just happened.
"I should say thank you."
He looked up.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to escape the restrictions imposed on me by the Mother of Deep Space."
"Is that really the Mother of Deep Space?"
Although he was certain of it when he made the move, Hitzfeld was still curious about Xiwei's identity.
"In the original history, Xiwei was the incarnation created by the Mother of Deep Space."
Li Lan was silent for a moment, then blurted out a shocking truth.
"It was Xivi who started this war. On one side of her was all the beauty, and on the other side was all the evil... I was once bewitched by her, but thanks to the other heart that my adoptive father left in my body, I woke up at the last moment and gave her to..."
He put his hands in the air and made a rope-wrapping motion, then clenched his fists and pulled them to the sides.
“…I just want to know what’s going on.”
Hitzfeld said in a low voice.
The information that can be confirmed at the moment is that "there must be remnants of the evil god's will in Lana's dreams."
That might not be its true form—not necessarily the true form of the thing she encountered in the Gray Mist Temple.
But that thing's ability to corrode dreams and will...
She knew: all Gray Mist Exogods possessed this corrosive ability... This meant that any living being that came into contact with them would inevitably leave residual pollution in their dreams if they were not sheltered and protected by a more powerful force.
She was almost contaminated at the beginning, but with that sword - she now knows that it should be the artifact called "Sword of the Sun King" - with that thing protecting her, she was able to remain pure and return to reality.
But Lana and the people of Misros did not receive such treatment.
This is the situation now... Lana and the Mithros were the losers, and she estimated that their spirits were also polluted. It seems that this extraterritorial civilization has nothing to do with Namiia, but in fact, the Grey Mist Outer God, the Mother of Deep Space, is manipulating and pulling the strings.
This would explain why the Eclipse Church was involved in this matter. Those stupid heretics, do they really know what they are doing?
Perhaps there will be people like Yinsel who want to inherit his wish, that is, to choose to devour the spirit of a great man like Lana who is still lingering to ascend to the throne of God and complete redemption in an alternative way.
But why do they think that the information they know is all there is?
If they really act according to their wishes, they will only bring both worlds into the abyss!
"I don't know..." Li Lan pressed his forehead, "I don't even know... whether I was controlled and therefore prayed to you for help... My memories over the years are too chaotic and mixed, I don't know... but I am sure that "He" has not been completely destroyed."
"Controlled?" Hitzfeld was keenly aware of this key description. "In other words, this was a trap set for us from the beginning? He can't do anything to us in the outside world, so he wants to deal with us here?"
"I think it should be like this..."
Li Lan also became serious.
"But I don't recommend you asking me, Namiyan. I am not a hero but a sinner... I did nothing, but instead gave her my body and soul. It is because of this... that Mithros fell so quickly."
"And what about Manion?"
"Who are you talking about?" Li Lan was stunned.
"Manion." Hitzfeld didn't think so at first, he just wanted to seek his opinion.
After all, Li Lan is also a surviving Misros. Others may not know Manion's position and inclination, but how could Li Lan not know?
They are all survivors of a destroyed civilization.
Most likely, they were all awake when Lana fell into Namiya.
So what exactly does Manion think and whether he can be trusted? Of course, we have to ask Li Lan.
However, Li Lan's reaction gave her a bad feeling.
This won't...
There won’t be any big problems in the middle.
"Can you tell me who this person is first?"
Li Lan looked at her with wide eyes.
"You mean Manion? He is Julia Huoyang's brother..."
"Nonsense! Impossible!!!"
He was interrupted before he could finish his words. At that moment Li Lan stood up like an angry beast, his face full of fear and anger. It took him a long time to calm down.
Hitzfeld didn't interrupt him; she was waiting for him to tell the truth.
“…I don’t know this person.”
Li Lan looked at her and spoke word by word.
"As far as I know, in the historical records of Mithros that I remember, Julia Huoyang has no brother."
Chapter 51: Great Interpretation (Two in One)
Although he had guessed this possibility when Li Lan lost his composure, when he really said this... and said in this tone, "As far as I know, in the historical records of Misros that I remember, Julia Huoyang has no brother," Hitzfeld couldn't help but feel his heart and soul tremble.
Julia is actually...shouldn't she have a brother...
So what exactly have I been experiencing these days...who is that person named "Manion" who has been giving me care and advice like a brother?
In a flash in the universe, several thoughts came to her mind. Some were ruled out... and then they progressed layer by layer, until she inevitably thought of the night when the flower mist gushed out, and the weird tone in which the giant-faced monster whispered her name.
Before I showed up, it didn't look like it had the ability to communicate with intelligent life.
It was just like a wild beast at that time, confused and not even sure what it wanted. And the reason why it changed in the following time was because of me - because I showed up.
