Chapter 188 The Name of the Angel
The scene in front of Yu Sheng's eyes shook violently again, accompanied by a series of chaotic exclamations and harsh noises. It seemed that the cultist who was in the dream was in a violent emotional turmoil in his memories. With this strong emotional change, Yu Sheng was shocked to see that the entire dream did not collapse immediately, but instead began to show some...
An unimaginable, horrifying scene.
He saw the abandoned warehouse in front of him collapse, and the entire land and sky were gradually cracking. The black figures that originally surrounded the sacrificial site melted into the air one by one, and then turned into huge clouds that rose and expanded. Something that was originally hidden in the subconscious of the cultists was "leaked" due to the imbalance of dreams, and stretched out its existence in front of Yu Sheng, the "parasite" -
Yu Sheng saw a huge projection, like a giant egg, floating above the wreckage of the abandoned warehouse. He also saw that the surface of the "egg" had a metallic texture, and there were countless glimmering, eye-like structures flickering in its edges and grooves. He heard the thing humming, as if some huge mechanical structure was running inside...
The next second, the giant egg floating in the air exploded again. Countless flesh and blood grew wildly from its depths. Strange tentacles poured out from its cracks, hanging down from the sky and swinging blindly in the air. Then, Yu Sheng heard a new sound - it was the cry of a baby...
Shaking, oscillating, screaming, Yu Sheng suddenly felt his consciousness falling sharply, and the moment he felt the falling sensation, he heard Irene exclaim: "Fuck, this guy is awake!"
The sense of the real world suddenly returned, and Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath as if a suffocating person suddenly got air. Almost at the same time, he turned his head and saw the angel believer not far away who also suddenly opened his eyes and gasped violently.
Expressions of fear and anger appeared on the bald man's face. At this moment, he finally lost that condescending look, as if he could see through life and death and was superior to all mortals. He stared at Yu Sheng intently, as if he was going to pounce on him in the next second.
Yu Sheng just stood up and looked at the other person calmly. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "An-Ka-Ai-La - what does this word mean?"
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, the cultist flew into a rage, and even rushed over despite the electric current released by the restraint device: "Your filthy mouth is not worthy of reciting His..."
The angel had just jumped out halfway when a large silver tail broke through the air and whipped him against the wall. Before Yu Sheng could see what was happening, Hu Li had already turned into a shadow and chased after him. She swung the angel's legs and slammed him to the ground with a crackling sound. Finally, she threw him to the ground casually. As a result, she saw that the man was breathing out more than he was breathing in, so she hurriedly cast a healing spell...
The fox girl didn't say a word throughout the whole process. She was cold and disdainful in the first half, but was so panicked in the second half that she didn't know what to say.
Ailin was stunned watching from the side, staring at Hu Li in amazement: "...You're pretty quick."
"Just cure half of his life, and leave the rest to the Secret Service." Yu Sheng also reacted at this time, stepped forward and patted Hu Li's hair, then turned his head and nodded to the surveillance camera in the corner, "I'm done here."
After a moment, he heard the clicking sound of mechanical operation coming from inside the heavy gate, and the figures of Song Cheng and Baili Qing appeared outside the gate - there were several fully armed guards standing beside them.
Yu Sheng walked over quickly with Hu Li and Ai Lin. Before Song Cheng could speak, he said quickly and seriously, "Let's find a quiet place. This is a serious problem."
Baili Qing looked at Yu Sheng deeply and nodded immediately: "Go to my office."
It was another "journey" that was like passing through a moving maze. Yu Sheng and his group walked through the various passages, elevators and empty rooms in this strange "building" for a long time before arriving at their destination.
The most "mysterious" place in the entire Secret Service—Baili Qing's office.
But contrary to what he had expected, this place was not as gorgeous or grand as he had imagined. Although the entire office was indeed quite large, the huge room was almost empty. The necessary filing cabinets and several display screens were placed against the wall. In the middle of the room was a large oval table. Apart from that, there was nothing else to be seen. Only a huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk was very eye-catching - the window seemed to be shrouded in a layer of eternal fog, and the scenery deep in the fog kept changing. Sometimes it was a city silhouette, and sometimes it looked like distant mountains, fields, or even the endless ocean.
The guards and irrelevant personnel such as the secretary and assistant who were waiting in the office quickly left. Soon, only Yu Sheng and his group, Baili Qing, and Song Cheng, who originally wanted to leave but was ordered by the director to stay, were left in the huge room.
"You can tell now." Baili Qing looked at Yu Sheng and said calmly.
Yu Sheng nodded. "Well, I'll get straight to the point. The cultists are probably worshipping a dark angel who is either sleeping or trapped. If I'm not mistaken, this angel is probably trapped in a fairy tale."
Song Cheng's expression froze visibly, and after a few seconds, the corners of his mouth moved: "...Your 'mountain' is too sudden..."
Yu Sheng seemed not to hear Song Cheng's mumbling, and continued to talk to himself: "I sneaked into the dream of that angel believer - because I found a loophole in his will, he was basically unprotected in his dream -
"I witnessed one of their gatherings and a typical prayer ceremony. They have more than just the two you have captured. There are also several other members hiding in the dark. When they mentioned the 'messenger' they were following, they said that he was sleeping and needed to be 'rescued from the sea of suffering'. They also mentioned the phrase 'breaking free of the shell'. This is why I guess their 'master' is trapped in a 'fairy tale'...
"In addition, I also heard them mention the 'container'. It seems that this has a great impact on the successful descent of their Lord or their escape. The requirements for the container are very high. The member of the Strange Items Association who was bewitched by them has been influenced by the Dark Angel. He was originally going to gradually become a devout believer, but because he did not meet the standards of the 'container', he was 'dealt with' by them. The reason is that once a person who does not meet the standards converts, it will interfere with the 'Lord's' descent..."
Yu Sheng spoke quickly one by one, and Song Cheng's brows gradually furrowed. Even Baili Qing, who usually had no expression on his face, had a more solemn look in his eyes.
When it comes to the words "Dark Angel", even the director of the Secret Service will not feel relaxed at all.
"Have you figured out which dark angel those believers are following?" Baili Qing suddenly asked, "Any clues about its name or characteristics?"
"They mentioned a word repeatedly during the prayer ceremony, and the pronunciation was roughly like this," Yu Sheng cleared his throat, recalling and making the strange pronunciation, "An-Ka-Ai-La - probably the sound of 'Anka Aila', but there are some brief vibratos and echoes in the middle, which I can't pronounce, and I'm not sure whether it is the real pronunciation or whether the cultists are adding drama to the ritual - because their sacrificial ceremony failed in the end, although it may also be related to the fact that they used fake and inferior scented candles..."
Song Cheng: “……?”
Song Cheng didn't understand what Yu Sheng meant by his last sentence at all.
Baili Qing focused on the word with a strange pronunciation. She frowned slightly and repeated subconsciously: "An-Ka-Ai-La, Anka Aila..."

"Do you remember this name?" Yu Sheng suddenly looked curious.
"No, I have no impression, but this is the first time we have heard the 'name' of a Dark Angel," Baili Qing said in a serious tone, "Before today, every Dark Angel we knew was just a 'code name', such as 'Goddess of Beauty', or 'Star of Heka', 'Tree Angel'. These were all code names given to them by the original recorders based on their characteristics when they descended. But the word 'Ankaela'... doesn't sound like a code name in any way."
Yu Sheng instantly understood the meaning of Baili Qing's words.
He was a little confused: "What do other angel believers call the 'messengers' they follow? For example, the goddess of beauty and the star of Heka you just mentioned, these two dark angels should have their own believers..."
"They also use code names directly," Song Cheng said, "For example, they use the title 'Goddess of Beauty' directly, because the angel believers were just ordinary people who had fallen into madness in the beginning. Although they fanatically claimed that they could hear the voice of the 'messenger', as far as we know, no dark angel would really communicate with believers rationally, let alone reveal their 'names' to mortals... In fact, we have never thought that those dark angels have 'names'."
Yu Sheng frowned and thought carefully for a while, then raised his head after a moment: "In other words, it is possible that this group of angel believers lurking in Jiecheng have really 'contacted' a dark angel who can communicate, and even found out his real name?!"
"But it could also be just another delusion of those psychopaths," Song Cheng waved his hand. "Maybe he just took too many drugs and heard the whispers of the Dark Angel, and then he processed the 'noise' he heard in his dream and transliterated it into the name of the 'messenger'."
Yu Sheng looked solemn and did not comment on Song Cheng's statement.
"You can try to interrogate that bald guy again later," he said slowly, "That guy's mind has been broken once, and the secret in his dream has been exposed. It will be easier for a person whose defenses have been broken to break again. Maybe you can find out something from the interrogation - such as his accomplices, and where the word 'An-Ka-Ai-La' came from."
"Let the Secret Service handle this matter. We are more professional in the routine interrogation process," Baili Qing nodded, and then her eyes fell on Yu Sheng, "Then what will you do next..."
"That orphanage," Yu Sheng took a deep breath, "there's no way those angel believers would just stay like that. If their 'master' is really trapped in a 'fairy tale', they will definitely strike again - the trap that Little Red Riding Hood encountered might even be just some kind of 'initial test'."
