Chapter 338 You remembered it wrongly, Alai is a woman
The Kingdom of Star Antimony, the city of knowledge, Leipzig.
The ghost suddenly sat up from the bed again.
The young man, who looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, was looking around in panic.
Late at night, two rows of candles lit in the room shone through red paper canopies, painting the entire room blood red. A lingering smell of blood permeated the room, and animal remains were placed around the ritual formation.
"…Now is this…real?"
The ghost blurted out the doubts in his heart.
He seemed to have just experienced something very terrifying in his hallucination.
He could no longer remember exactly what had happened—after the dream ended, those memories quickly faded from his mind. But the feeling of terror was still deeply engraved in his heart.
He seemed to have experienced this scene, as if he had woken up from a dream, only to fall into a deeper dream.
That shattered experience was like a broken mirror or a shattered glass - something transparent and hard pierced deeply into his soul, making him feel a strong discomfort all over his body.
"ah!"
Just as the ghost was about to stand up, he found that his left arm suddenly became weak.
Although there was no wound, a sharp pain shot through his left arm. He couldn't help but scream and fell back onto the bed.
"—What's the matter, Mr. Oliva?"
As he was sweating coldly from the pain, a young woman's voice suddenly came from the door.
That was Janet Boyman, who had lived with him for a while in preparation for the promotion ceremony.
But the ghost whose real name was Oliva only felt a chill - the fear stirring in his heart made him subconsciously begin to doubt, is the person speaking at the door really Miss Janet?
His ascension ceremony undoubtedly failed. In other words, the ghost did not obtain the Dao Path characteristic.
——Since he didn’t get the Tao characteristics, how could he determine that he had left the ceremony?
Or maybe this is just another illusion...
Without waiting for Oliva's response, Janet opened the door with her key and came in.
She was still in her pajamas and looked a little lethargic, but clearly not displaying the other symptoms that Oliva had.
"Don't come over here!"
The ghost screamed, fear flashing in his eyes.
He tried to shrink back, but because of the big movement, he hit his left arm, and the severe pain made him pause his movement for a moment.
And just by looking at his reaction, Janet immediately reacted.
"...Is this disability caused by damage to the spirit body?"
She forced herself to stay alert, a little worried: "Then your left arm must be removed immediately, otherwise it may spread."
The ghost just kicked its legs in fear, shouting in a voice that was almost a scream but seemed full of energy: "Don't come over here! You are fake! You will kill me!"
Hearing this, Janet was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Oliva in confusion.
...Could it be that he died so tragically during the New Moon Ritual that his spirit was severely damaged and he became mentally ill?
Oliva felt his memory rapidly fading—he worried that he had indeed woken from his dream. If so, he needed to quickly record the key information he still remembered.
So he said it without hesitation: "Alai may have exchanged identities with Hui. Alai is a man! He is very dangerous. He controls the Shadow Demon, the Moon Child, and the Earthbound Spirit!"
"……ha?"
Janet asked helplessly, "What are you talking about?"
The settlement screen is very clear——
The person they met at that time must have been Mr. "Gray".
Although Janet ran away as soon as they met, and was unconscious because she fell into a trap...but when she saw the painful hallucination of her death with the ghost, she also knew how she died in the end.
The final winner is undoubtedly the one who defeated them.
Although it was very dark in the secret passage, Janet, who had low-light vision, could still see the two people clearly.
That Moon Child was the female Moon Child who was holding the sleeping girl at the final settlement! And the girl sleeping in her arms was Ash.
The final settlement screen also showed the young man with shadow demons lingering around him and a sinister smile—that was undoubtedly Alai, who had transcended the Dao. Miss Alai had already demonstrated her shadow abilities in the waiting room… but she had been misled by the fact that Mr. Gray was actually a man.
That's really strange.
Her Love Path's intuition clearly told her that the other person was probably a girl. She could only say that the Adaptation Path's ability to disguise was too strong.
There was another important reason Janet left Avalon – her sexual orientation was beyond Avalon's comprehension. Although she was a woman, she also liked women. This was undoubtedly a taboo in Avalon, with its extremely high moral standards.
This is the nature of the path of love, she will do anything to achieve her desires.
Similarly, she also has a keen, hunter-like instinctive sense of smell that allows her to directly find the prey that suits her.
There's no need to see faces, hear voices, or even spend time together—just a glance from afar tells you if someone shares your interests. This is the unique sensitivity of the Path of Love to the areas of its "love."
To put it another way, Alai clearly transcended the Tao, and both she and the ghost died from hallucinations... According to the ghost, it seemed that they died from the earthbound spirit.
But how can one obtain the power of the earthbound spirit by transcending the Tao?
That's the undead, a phantom demon from the twilight path! Not a demon that transcends the path!
But if it was the Adaptation Path, then it wouldn't be surprising. Adaptation Path could potentially learn the abilities of any phantom demon, whether it was an earthbound spirit or a nightmare... Seeing her lying there sleeping, it was possible that she was imitating the abilities of a nightmare demon.
The conclusion screen of the promotion ceremony must be meaningful. For the deceased, the cause of death will be revealed, and for the survivors, the reason for their survival and the fundamental reason for their victory will be explained.
——So the answer can be obtained with a little analysis: Mr. Gray killed them in their sleep!
"What a terrible combination."
Janet said seriously, "A woman who controls the Shadow Demon, and a man who can create illusions and kill people in dreams...and it seems they know each other and trust each other.
"—They must be Star Antimony people. I think they must be from the Rosicrucian sect. If not, they must be the people the Rosicrucian sect is looking for. Perhaps by following them, we can find the Rosicrucian sect."
"No, no! Wrong, wrong!"
Oliva screamed in horror: "She used the power of the shadow demon... The shadow demon is with that woman! It's all Alai, those two people are all Alai!"
“Okay, okay…”
Janet responded helplessly: "I know, I know."
She just felt that her good brother's mental state was not right, and he was indeed a little crazy.
Even though her memory was beginning to fade, she couldn't help but think it wasn't right. If Gray had a shadow demon, could they have died slowly in the hallucination? Could she have just run away?
He was chopped to pieces by Shadow Fiend the first time they met.
Furthermore, the Shadow Fiend is a dangerous demon with an unquenchable rage and a constant desire to kill. How could a demonologist possessing the Shadow Fiend have the rationality to cooperate with the Moon Child under its influence?
It’s best not to believe what Oliva said.
In order to prevent her hazy memory from being confused by Oliva's words, Janet directly held Oliva down and began to patiently brainwash him: "Listen, there is something wrong with your memory. What I wrote down is the standard..."
At this moment, in the city of knowledge, Leipzig, there is another place only ten kilometers away from them.
Stranger opened his eyes contentedly, sat up in bed and put on his glasses.
He reaped a lot this time.
…Although I had no idea what happened throughout the whole process, I still managed to advance successfully.
And I also got enough inspiration from Bashir Valentine.
——And he praised me! He praised me several times!
"Thank you, Lord Valentine! I will try my best!"
The stranger was full of energy and clenched his fists.
At this moment, there was a knock on his door.
——There is no doubt that it must be His Royal Highness the Prince or General Karl looking for him.
Mo Ke suddenly felt guilty and remembered another thing.
Didn't I go looking for them?
I feel like the updates are getting later and later, uh ah I'm even more tired...
Cheer up and keep updating!
