Hazy white light filled He Ao's vision, and an unprecedented sense of exhaustion spread from his limbs and bones, sweeping through his soul. [Read the novel with the correct chapter, search on google]
This feeling of exhaustion was like a mountain weighing tens of thousands of pounds, pressing down on him, making him unable to even move his fingers.
And in this hazy white light, illusory shadows slowly emerged from the pure white background of the world. Their faces were blurred, like unknown souls.
Their shadows passed through He Ao's body, bringing not an icy chill, but a warmth that seemed to permeate every inch of his muscles.
And as these warmth spread through He Ao's body bit by bit, the fatigue that seemed to weigh on the top of the mountain melted away like the spring breeze turning into snow.
He Ao moved his fingers and felt his whole body became 'lighter'.
He raised his head and looked forward. The countless shadows passing through his body were now gathering together in the white light in front of him, condensing into an illusory figure.
The blurry appearance of a little girl wearing a long skirt and her eyes closed gradually appeared in the white light.
When the last phantom passed through He Ao's body, He Ao felt as if he had completely regained his ability to move, and the little girl condensed from the phantom in front of him also completely took shape.
The blurry and illusory long skirt began to form an opaque entity, and then turned into pure blood red.
"Alice?"
He Ao watched the little girl in the red dress gradually taking shape in front of him, watching as those illusory shadows completely merged into the little girl's body.
The little girl opened her eyes and stared at He Ao in front of her. She slowly opened her hands, and a blood-red paper butterfly spread its wings from her palms and flew slowly towards He Ao.
He Ao stretched out his hand to catch the butterfly.
At this moment, he vaguely understood that what he was facing now was not 'Alice', or in other words, it was not purely 'Alice'.
Those souls who were "released" from the church inside and were once the "cornerstones of the church" left some "power" in He Ao as a thank you before returning to the world.
These strands of power finally converged on Alice's paper butterfly, forming what he saw now.
Alice is the only thought among these powers that has some kind of "remnant", so she naturally becomes the subordinate of these powers, and the embodiment of these powers also shows the appearance of Alice.
Before, He Ao vaguely noticed that some power was entangled with him and the paper butterfly when he finally left the inner church, but after he left the inner church, the paper butterfly did not appear.
It seems now that those forces were not stable at that time, and it was only then that they completely formed a stable form.
The bright red paper butterfly landed on He Ao's fingertips and slowly folded its wings.
At this moment, the entire world of pure white glory shattered.
He Ao slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
The first thing that caught his eye was a delicate and pretty face, and golden twin ponytails extending from both sides.
"Are you awake?"
Wei Li looked at He Ao and blinked, "I thought you would sleep a little longer. How is your condition now?"
As soon as He Ao was about to speak, he felt a strong sense of exhaustion and weakness throughout his body.
At the same time, a warm force came from his right shoulder, constantly repairing his body.
He turned his head and glanced at the illusory blood-colored paper butterfly with its wings spread out on his right shoulder, then turned back to look at Willie, "I'm fine now."
At this time, Wei Li also followed his gaze and looked at the little solid paper butterflies on He Ao's shoulders.
She remembered clearly that there was no paper butterfly on He Ao's shoulder just now.
But she didn't ask any more questions. After all, it's normal for extraordinary people to have some secrets. She turned her head and glanced at Lena beside her, "No, your guest is here."
Then she straightened up and said, "You guys talk first, and I'll make you some milk tea."
Hearing this, He Ao looked at Wei Li in surprise.
Even Lena looked at Willie in surprise.
"What do you think of me? In your eyes, I'm just a young lady who doesn't know anything but clothes and food."
Willie rolled her eyes, "I learned how to make milk tea from Uncle Jacko when I was very young. I have been making milk tea for almost ten years. You have to trust my skills!"
As she spoke, she clapped her hands and walked out of the back room with a puffy face.
"She's very different."
Lena watched the girl's figure disappear behind the door, turned back and looked at He Ao.
At least she knew that no one from the consortium would make milk tea herself. This was usually the job of hiring a maid or a personal chef.
"Yes,"
He Ao looked at the direction in which Wei Li disappeared and nodded thoughtfully.
Although Willy may be the richest 'eldest lady' in the city, her upbringing environment makes her not look like one.
Then he turned his head and looked at Lena, "How is the situation of the Security Federation?"
“Not great, but much better than expected,”
Lena nodded slightly and briefly described the current situation of the Security Federation. Then she continued, "Many people in the Federation currently hope to establish a 'covenant' with you.
"Your victory last night has spread throughout Winter City and even the entire federation. Now I'm afraid the entire federation's upper echelons know that a Fallen Angel mecha shot down the behemoth in the sky.
"United Industries issued an announcement this morning, offering a reward of 50 million federal coins for you. Anyone who can provide effective clues will receive a reward of 10 million directly."
"Aren't you going to collect this bonus?"
He Ao put the hand holding the IV stand on his lap and looked at her with a smile.
"We, the bounty hunters, also have rules..."
Having said this, she paused, tilted her head and looked at He Ao, her waterfall-like red hair sliding down her shoulders, "At least I have rules. I don't earn money that I shouldn't earn."
"Have you really made any money as a mercenary?"
He Ao looked at her curiously.
"Let's... make some money,"
Lena paused for a moment, then immediately changed the subject, "The good news is that based on the intelligence I have received so far, your driver's identity has not been leaked. The bad news is,"
She looked at He Ao and said, "Your wanted posters are plastered all over Winter City."
"Did the Eternal Secret Cult do it?"
He Ao saw her intention to change the topic, so he didn't point it out, but thought for a moment.
As early as when he fought Levins, he discovered that the Eternal Secret Cult seemed to have mastered his information.
Although the Eternal Secret Cult may not be able to confirm that he did those things, it does not affect them. They would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
"Yes,"
Lena nodded, "Now the entire Winter City belongs to others, and the wanted notices can be posted wherever they want."
"So what is the relationship between United Industries and the Eternal Secret Cult? Do you have any information there?"
He Ao continued to ask.
"I don't know, we haven't received any news before,"
The expression on Lena's face was a little strange,
"These two have deliberately hidden it for too long. It is normal for the Eternal Secret Sect to hide it, but United Industries can also hide it.
"Until last night, the middle-level employees of United Industries thought that the Eternal Secret Cult was their enemy,"
Speaking of this, she continued thoughtfully, "At present, I suspect that only a very small number of people at the top who make decisions in United Industries are really related to the Eternal Secret Cult. The 'covenant' signed between them may be
Even the United Industries board of directors doesn’t know.”
"Um,"
He Ao nodded slightly. United Industries had even concealed it from the FBI. This time it was indeed concealed very well. He looked at Lena again, "Has the FBI made arrangements?"
"I have arranged for people and doctors to help stabilize their injuries,"
Lena nodded, "They should have contacted the FBI headquarters by now."
"Trouble,"
He Ao thanked you softly, then he looked at Lena and said slowly, "Can I see the disc you entered the church inside last night?"
"certainly."
Lena stretched out her hand and handed the disk with the pointer to He Ao. She vaguely realized that He Ao's visit to her this time was most likely related to this disk.
"Thanks."
He Ao took the disk, placed it in the sunlight coming from the window, and looked at it carefully.
The disk itself is a light golden color, and it is covered with dense twisted lines.
At this moment, in He Ao's spiritual vision, there was a twisted light swimming on the outermost side of the disk, forming a 'ring' shape along the outer edge of the disk.
The ring surrounded by light is filled with a large number of twisted and restless patterns, and there is a vague twisted light that rises and falls in these twisted patterns like breathing.
On the top of the disc, there is a light golden pointer inlaid.
He Ao saw that when Lena took out the pointer last night, it was pointing upward. But now, the pointer has been moved 180 degrees and is facing directly downward.
This is something Lena has already used once.
"You said last night that this disc is dangerous?"
Lena on the side watched him look at the disk and asked with some confusion.
"Strictly speaking, the disc is not dangerous,"
He Ao put down the disk, looked at Lena, and sorted out his words,
"It is the pollution hazard stored in the disc. It stores the pollution you enter into the church inside, but it can only be stored once. If you use it a second time, the disc will be directly squeezed because it cannot store so much pollution.
If it explodes, the pollution inside will spill out."
"Then I'll die?"
Lena glanced at the disk and asked cautiously.
"Well, that's true for humans,"
He Ao nodded, "Of course, to put it more strictly, you will become a monster polluted by the eternal light,"
He carefully looked at the disk in his hand, "The person who gave you this disk should have the ability to locate and even control the monsters contaminated by this disk to a certain extent. Moreover, he is most likely a believer in eternal light, and he is still very powerful.
Advanced believer."
"So this guy never wanted to pay the bill in the first place?"
Lena rested her chin on her hand and stared at the disc in He Ao's hand, with a rare expression of anger on her face, "You don't have to pay the commission if you kill the employee, you bastard!"
He Ao smiled and looked at Lena, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
"If you really want to harm me,"
Lena looked at He Ao and smiled slightly, "I died in the church last night."
He Ao smiled, holding the disc in his hand, and continued to ask, "So this is given to you by the person who hired you to go to the church inside? Do you know who he is?"
"have no idea,"
Lena shook her head, "He is an old client of mine. I met him through the 'black market'. He paid normally the past few times."
At this point, she paused slightly and cursed again with suppressed anger, "Son of a bitch!"
"In this case,"
He Ao looked at her, "Can I give you a commission?"
"Um?"
Lena looked at him doubtfully.
"This person may be a high-level believer in the eternal light, and the pattern style of this disk is a bit like the style of the eternal old religion."
He Ao looked at the disc in his hand and said thoughtfully.
"Eternal Old Religion?"
Lena was stunned, "Didn't they arrange for people to enter the main church themselves? Why did they hire me to enter?"
"That's what we need to investigate,"
The trap process laid out by the Eternal Secret Cult flashed through He Ao's mind. The Eternal Secret Cult seemed to know exactly what the people of the Eternal Old Cult wanted.
He thought for a moment, looked at Lena and said frankly, "I want to entrust you to help me send a message to your 'client' and ask him out. I think he may have some connection with the death of my parents.
"
"Follow the rules,"
Lena looked at He Ao, "We should not reveal the client's identity."
"He wants to default on his debt."
He Ao smiled.
"Done."
Lena responded without hesitation.
After saying this, she paused and sighed, "It seems that I am really not suitable to be a bounty hunter. I will quit this job and focus on opening my bar."
"Then do you want the commission fee this time?"
He Ao looked at her.
"want!"
She responded without hesitation again, and then she looked at He Ao, "Speaking of which, what are you going to give as commission?"
"Your talent sequence is the follow-up talent sequence of 'Angry Man'? D level?"
He Ao looked at her and asked thoughtfully.
"how do you know?"
Lena was confused for a moment and looked at He Ao with some confusion.
"Guess."
He Ao blinked.
Divine consciousness can see the color of the energy in the extraordinary person's body, and this color is the same as the radiant color in the extraordinary person's blood.
Based on current experience, He Ao guessed that all subsequent talent sequences derived from the same F-level talent sequence are likely to be of the same color.
For example, if 'Talent Sequence 5: Angry Man' is red, then the E-level 'Fighter', 'Bull', D-level 'Thug', 'Martial Artist', and C-level 'Warrior' derived from Angry Man,'
Predator' and 'Martial Bearer' are both red.
He Ao is now unsure whether his guess is accurate, at least in the talent sequence he understands, this is the rule.
At this moment, the energy in Lena's body was "red" in his field of vision, so he "guessed" it.
Among the three subsequent D-level talent sequences corresponding to 'Angry Man', two of them are familiar to He Ao.
In fact, He Ao had already 'guessed' the sequence of her talents based on the combat qualities that Lena had shown before.
"My ability is 'Talent Sequence 50: Martial Artist'."
Lena did not hide it, and directly stated her talent sequence clearly. She did not ask He Ao how she guessed it, but looked at He Ao, "So your 'commission' and my 'talent'
Sequence' related?"
She actually didn't know what kind of 'commission' He Ao could give. After all, she was very clear about Yiluo's family situation.
If the child wants to make an IOU, she can accept it.
"Um,"
He Ao nodded, "Talent sequence 98: warrior, secret medicine and ritual, but the secret medicine requires you to provide some auxiliary materials."
"Actually, if you really can't pay the commission, you can also owe it first... ah?"
Lena originally wanted to comfort 'Iroh', but after hearing He Ao's words, she was immediately confused, "Do you have the main material of the talent sequence of 'Warrior'? When? Where is it?"
"It's in the trunk of the SUV,"
He Ao looked at her with some confusion, "Didn't you drive my SUV here?"
"The body?"
Lena felt that her thinking was a little stiff. Naturally, she saw what He Ao put in the trunk. "That person's talent sequence is 'Warrior'? Have you already thought about it? Now he killed a 'Warrior'
For commission?"
"It's not immediate killing,"
He Ao emphasized, "That was the 'Swent' of the Eternal Secret Cult. He attacked me first. I was acting in self-defense. I can't say nonsense. I will be held legally responsible."
Lena:
"Okay...Okay,"
Lena felt dizzy. The behavior of the child in front of her seemed different from what she had imagined. She looked at He Ao, "So how do you want to lure that guy out? I'm afraid that guy is very cunning.
It won’t come out easily.”
"He'll come out,"
He Ao put down the disk in his hand and looked deeper into the room, "Tell him that you know the whereabouts of the triangular wooden sign with the eyes carved on it."
