Chapter 571 Asahi's Room

Asahi's room...

Upon hearing this topic, Xiaowan immediately perked up, and I couldn't help but focus my attention as well.

That makes sense. Since Yomi Gospelin is where Asaha used to live, and she was a high-ranking figure there, she must have had her own room there.

But why has her former room become a forbidden area?

I immediately questioned the cultivator who had reached the Chengjing realm, and the reply was: "This is an order personally issued by the God of the Underworld. After Mazao's betrayal, all statues and portraits related to her were destroyed, written records praising her achievements were deleted, and even those who had contact with her were interrogated and marginalized..."

"The areas she used to frequent have also been magically altered, especially her personal room, which has been subjected to multiple sealing procedures, presumably to prevent her from suddenly returning and launching an attack, or developing traitors among us."

Asahina, who possesses the power of resurrection, can return to her past location at any time, just like Number Seven. Therefore, just as Number Seven could take me and Little Bowl to infiltrate the Yomi Evangelion, Asahina, who has defected, could also quietly infiltrate, wreak havoc, and then use her power of resurrection to teleport away and escape.

Because Asaho is at the Great Accomplishment stage, it is possible that he could use his soul influence to prevent others from noticing his infiltration and secretly maintain close contact with the Evangelical Fellowship members he used to befriend.

Even demolishing that room wouldn't help; Asaha's power of return returned to the spatial coordinates themselves. But if that's the case, why not simply move Fukuin House? Did Yomi think that was making a mountain out of a molehill?

"Although I don't think Asaho has the awareness or ability to do that kind of subversion work, but..." Number Seven pondered.

Evangelion is not entirely monolithic; a human extermination plan is simply too sinister, and some people will inevitably have a guilty conscience. Even a fanatical organization like Evangelion, which truly has a divine presence, is not immune to betrayal and division. Asahaya herself is the best example.

Although the reason why the Tai Sui Army split from the Gospel House was largely because Tai Sui himself was a god who did not support the plan to kill humans, and was even killed by the head of the Gospel House, the fact that there were Tai Sui Army spies within the Gospel House also shows that there were Gospel House monks who secretly opposed the plan to kill humans.

"After his direct disciple betrayed him, Huangquan God may have realized that his original plan for the Great Cleansing of Humanity might have led to more traitors within the Gospel Academy, or even internal divisions..." the cultivator said. "So after that, he also considered other directions for saving the world and gathered us cadres to study and explore them."

"However, this attempt ultimately failed. We still couldn't find a better method, and Huang Quan Shen suddenly announced its termination one day, never mentioning the topic to us again."

Upon hearing this, Number Seven let out a cold laugh for some reason.

“Instead of that, let’s go see the room where Ma Zao used to live first,” I said. “Since it’s a place where no unauthorized people are allowed to enter, it might be where Huang Quan is hiding something.”

The cultivator reluctantly nodded and then led us through the Gospel Monastery. No one we encountered along the way noticed us, and no one made any further gestures of respect towards the cultivator. We were like a group of invisible people.

A dozen minutes later, we were led to the end of a corridor. There was a wooden door covered with layers of talismans and seals.

“…This is it,” said the cultivator who had reached the completion stage.

I observed them briefly. These talismans and seals possessed the power to prevent others from entering, and even the cultivator beside me, who had reached the Enlightenment Realm, couldn't break through them in a short time. Aside from that, they had no other effect. In this Gospel Temple, what truly prevented cultivators from entering this room wasn't actually these talismans and seals, but rather the prohibition of the Yellow Springs of Gods and Humans.

Then, I grasped the handle of the wooden door, turned it casually, and opened the door directly.

This level of talismans and seals would be a nuisance for an ordinary witcher, but to me, they're practically useless. Just like how some witchers' spells would automatically shut down in front of me, I don't even need to deliberately destroy them here. As long as I think about not activating these things, they'll all fall silent.

The room behind the door looked quite simple. It was only slightly larger than a typical bedroom, and contained simple furniture such as a bed, table, chairs, and bookshelves, as well as a separate toilet and bathroom.

If there's anything special about this place, it's that it's incredibly clean.

It's not that I think Asa's living space would be messy. Based on my past experience living with Asa, she's the type who will carefully make her bed and blankets after getting up, and she's very meticulous about personal and environmental hygiene. It's just that since this room has been off-limits to others for such a long time, it's unlikely that anyone will come to clean it, so it's normal for it to be covered in dust and cobwebs.

But now, the room doesn't give off that cold and desolate impression at all; it's as if someone comes in regularly to clean and tidy it up. It's reminiscent of some heartbreaking tragic stories where, after their children die young, the surviving parents intentionally leave the room untouched, occasionally washing and changing the sheets, pillowcases, and other items, as if the room's owner might suddenly return one day.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything special here..." Number Seven analyzed, "At least the fragments of the Divine Seal aren't here."

From Huang Quan's perspective, if we were to ask whether the technical data of "Dushuo Mountain" or the fragments of the divine seal were more important, the latter would probably be more crucial. Therefore, the latter would likely be more thoroughly concealed. However, from the perspective of us Void Realm Apostles, finding the fragments of the divine seal is incredibly easy. We only need to get close enough to make a judgment.

"There seems to be something over there." Xiao Wan looked at the desk not far away.

There were some messy files on the table. I walked over out of curiosity and picked up one of the files. Xiao Wan also came over to look at it.

This document wasn't the "Dushuoshan" technical information we were looking for. Such crucial information wouldn't have appeared in this room without reason. However, the title of this document immediately captured my attention. Compared to unfamiliar technical documents, this one held far more weight in my mind.

Even Xiao Wan stopped breathing for a moment after seeing it.

"...What's wrong with you?"

Number Seven walked over with a frown, glanced at the title of the document, and then stopped in his tracks.

Two seconds later, Xiao Wan finally spoke, reading out the title of the document: "A Study on the Causes of the 'Bad Luck' Constitution...?"

This is a document researching early-onset hemorrhage.

Why this document would appear here... well, let's leave that aside for now. As for the author of the document, and who carelessly placed it here, it's easy to guess. In the Gospel House, the only person qualified and capable of researching the "jinx" constitution and freely entering this room is none other than Huang Quan.

As mentioned before, the reason why Huang Quan initially chose to cultivate Asao despite the opposition was likely because he paid special attention to Asao's jinxed constitution and wanted to explore the secrets behind it.

Although it may have been a researcher's interest in rare experimental materials, Asahi was able to grow successfully through this opportunity.

I never expected to suddenly come across the core secrets of the Broom Star Power in a place like this... No, Huang Quan may not have actually made any progress in his research... But if even Huang Quan hasn't figured it out, then it's hard to imagine who else could have done it.

With a mix of surprise and anticipation, Xiaowan, No. 7, and I exchanged bewildered glances. Then, I mentally prepared myself and slowly opened the document, my gaze falling upon its contents.

Huang Quan wrote his conclusion on the first page:

"After a series of investigations and analyses, I can say with absolute certainty that the so-called 'jinx power' is just a misunderstanding."

"In reality, Asahi himself does not have that kind of power at all."
