Chapter 657 The Singer



"Purpose?"

It was hard for Lu Ban to imagine what purpose an existence of this level could have.

They are born gods, or incarnations of gods. They have no worries about lifespan. Even the destruction of the planet and the end of the universe cannot affect them. The things that ordinary humans need to worry about and the things they desire to do are not worth mentioning to them. Even time is just something they can play with at will.

What else can a guy like this ask for?

Although Lu Ban had met the dark-skinned, thin man before, and he was indeed planning something to try to release the sealed Old Ones, after being stopped by Lu Ban, he did not insist on continuing to lift the seal, but turned and left.

Judging from Charlotte's explanation, this is more like a fun-seeking person. Perhaps the incarnations of gods in their branch are more or less of this character.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban discovered that Charlotte was looking at him with a strange look in her eyes.

"I'm not one of those guys who does things just for fun."

Charlotte seemed to see through Lu Ban's thoughts, making him wonder if this woman had also put a worm in his stomach while he was sleeping.

"You have seen the remains of the Brilliant Realm, right?"

Charlotte did not embarrass Lu Ban, but turned around and said.

"Um."

Lu Ban nodded.

Those remains seemed to be some kind of protective mechanism, strange and dangerous.

"They have certain rules and characteristics. They will only act when creatures or beings with a certain degree of pollution notice them. After death, these people in the Brilliant Realm turned their corpses into a protective mechanism for the Great Library to prevent others from prying into the knowledge here."

Charlotte spoke up.

"In addition to this, there are many similar arrangements. Just like the Old Ones cannot be killed, the Glorious Realm still has great power even if it has been destroyed."

"Since they set up things to protect the library, why don't they just destroy those things?"

Lu Ban asked curiously, if the civilization of the Glorious Realm still existed that would be fine, but this civilization has been destroyed, what is the use of the knowledge left behind?

"Because some of them still have some obsessions."

Charlotte whispered.

"The legend of the Glorious Realm is circulating among many high-ranking beings. Some hostile beings want to spy on the Glorious Realm's technology for sealing the Old Ones, some want to liberate certain Old Ones, and some simply want to gain more power. In short, many beings covet the power of the Glorious Realm. The residents of the Glorious Realm are aware of this, and at the same time, they are also aware that their world will eventually be destroyed."

"So, they used the library's knowledge as bait to lure in those who wanted to get their hands on these things, like you and me. The Brilliant Realm is now a trap."

Lu Ban originally wanted to remind Charlotte that she was the only one who wanted to see those things, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have seen quite a few of them as well, so he didn't say anything.

"The achievements of the Glorious Realm are indeed unmatched by any other foreign land. Even to the vast majority of the Old Ones, the Glorious Realm is still a forbidden place today."

Charlotte said again.

"My purpose is simple, which is to find a way to seal a higher being."

She speaks her mind.

"By higher person, do you mean the two persons of the same person as your original self?"

Lu Ban asked.

"No."

Charlotte shook her head.

"I want to seal the one who created me."

Her words were very firm, without any hint of joking.

"Wait, what grudge do you have against Him?"

Lu Ban thought about it, could it be that because Charlotte herself was a created incarnation, she was afraid of the original body, fearing that one day this fun human original body would erase and recycle her, so she decided to raise the banner of rebellion and overthrow the powerful with her own strength?

"There is no hatred or resentment. I just want to try to see if I can do it."

Charlotte said casually.

Lu Ban thought about what Charlotte had said several hundred words ago.

——"I'm not the kind of guy who does things just for fun."

Sure enough, women’s mouths are deceiving.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. Nothing she says is true.

"Do you have any idea?"

Lu Ban asked, Charlotte has been looking at the library for so long, she must have gained something.

If he could just let a little of the gains slip away to himself, Lu Ban would be able to stand up when facing those great beings in the future.

"Of course there is, but to achieve my goal, I need to rely on the power of at least one God Beyond God, and I also need to visit that supreme being. For me now, it's a little too early."

Charlotte answered without hiding anything.

This is as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator: just open the refrigerator, put the elephant in, and close the door.

"That's true."

Lu Ban could only agree.

"Okay, I've almost had enough fun. You can come find me next time you come to the Wasted City."

Charlotte took out a warm business card from the lapel of her cheongsam and handed it to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban saw the name on the business card, Charlotte, and the address, Feidu Grand Theater.

"So that's really your name?"

Lu Ban always felt that the name and address looked familiar. He thought about it and thought that maybe the mission he did not choose was here.

“To act among humans, one always needs an identity.”

Charlotte smiled.

"I sometimes sing there as part of my joy."

"Sing?"

Lu Ban didn't know whether the singing this woman was talking about meant singing in the literal sense or had some other meaning.

"Okay, you should go back. I have been keeping you involved for so long. If Silence knew about this, I'm afraid she would come to trouble me."

Charlotte did not continue the subject of singing.

"Silence... do you know Him?"

When Lu Ban heard this, he was no longer sleepy and asked hurriedly.

After all, it was because of the Land of Silence that he had come into conflict with foreign lands and pollution along the way. As the chosen one of the God of Silence, he didn't know anything about this god and always felt uneasy.

“In fact, there is no one who does not know Him.”

Charlotte seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and prepared to speak.

The next moment, Lu Ban felt his surroundings become hazy. The luxurious room, the charming woman, and the thick soup he had not finished drinking all moved away from him. His vision became chaotic, and colorful black quickly enveloped everything.

Seeing Lu Ban disappear from the chair, Charlotte did not show any surprise. She just tapped her fingers twice and muttered to herself.

"Is this also in your calculations?"

She looked out the window at the gloomy sky.
