A long and thin red line perfectly separated that incomparable face, and fine blood beads seeped out from it.
Immediately afterwards, the enchanting body lost its strength and fell to the exquisite onyx ground.
Lilith's head was cut into two parts, the upper and lower parts, and the blood on the cross-section was like red wine spilled from a goblet.
This is true "split action".
Black Feather Pirates was not affected by this scene at all.
He took the hilt of the ancient sword from Kuroba Kaito's hand, inserted the ancient sword back into the hilt, and took out a golden key from Lilith's body.
Kuroba Kaito stared blankly the whole time, his body frozen in place looking a little at a loss.
Although he has experienced a lot along the way, he has never seen such an exciting scene.
That would be a person...
No, a god's head was cut open...
"Kaito!"
Kuroba Thief grabbed Kuroba Kaito's arm and shook it hard, "Follow me, they will find out soon..."
Although Kuroba Kaito was still a little confused, he still followed Kuroba Bandit and ran towards the side of the palace.
On the wall where no shadow could be seen, Black Feather Pirates accurately found the location of the door and passed through one huge room after another.
Kuroba Kaito followed Kuroba Toichi. He had countless things to say in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to speak.
When the two were sprinting on the spacious pure white ground, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground.
At the same time, from the sky above Kadasi, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the world, as if some ancient Titan was descending here with monstrous rage.
The Black Feather Thief who was running in front stopped and listened quietly for three seconds, then frowned slightly.
"It's Nodens..."
"Nordens?"
Kuroba Kaito was puzzled.
The Black Feather Thief replied: "The Queen of the Night Lilith is not only the daughter of the Fan God, but also the partner of Nodens. She is the chain that maintains the balance between the Fan God and the Ancient God."
"Now this balance is about to be broken. With the collision of two divine forces, even Kadasi is in danger..."
"Let's get out of here!"
"How to leave?" Kuroba Kaito asked as he ran after him.
"Go to the City of Bright Moon!"
Under the leadership of Black Feather Pirates, the two ran to a door.
The entire onyx city of Kadath has countless rooms, all of which are unobstructed.
Only the room in front of me was sealed by a wooden door.
Black Feather Bandit stepped forward solemnly and unlocked the door with the key he just got from Lilith.
When the wooden door slowly opened, a huge stone castle came into view of Kaito Kuroba.
Under the bright moon in the sky, the whole city exudes a beautiful silver shimmer.
Countless high walls, temples, terraces, and pavilions are dotted in the castle, as well as the layers of brick-red roofs on the outside of the castle and the northern mountain wall carved with huge heads.
"here it is……"
Kuroba Kaito looked at the incredible scene in front of him, feeling a sense of déjà vu in his heart, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Kuroba Toichi's mustache twitched slightly and the corners of his mouth raised, "This is the city in the background of the mural created by Pickman."
"This is the City of Bright Moon, the city I built..."
Mentioning this city, Kuroba Toichi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride on his face.
But right now, he doesn't have time to act as a tour guide and introduce every place here to Kuroba Kaito in detail.
"follow me……"
Under the leadership of Kuroba Toichi, Kuroba Kaito came to a cemetery under the hillside outside the castle.
Seeing this cemetery, Kuroba Kaito's mind suddenly became clearer.
This is the close background of the mural "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" at home.
As soon as the Kuroba thief walked to a coffin, he pushed open the stone lid on the top of the coffin and said to Kuroba Kaito.
"Kaito, you lay down first, then close your eyes..."
"When you wake up again, you can return to the waking world."
"There is a restriction in the secret realm of Kadas. The dreamer cannot be forced to return to reality by ending deep sleep or dying. This is the only way to return to reality safely."
Kuroba Kaito looked at the dark stone coffin in front of him, and suddenly thought of another person in his mind.
"What about Uncle Qin who came with me?"
"Uncle Qin?" Heiyu Pianyi's eyes showed some doubts, "Is this person your companion who came to Kadath with you?"
"Yes..." Kuroba Kaito nodded honestly, "Actually, even many of the clues you left behind can only be solved by him."
"Neither Mr. Terai nor I have the qualifications to enter the dreamland, and it was only with his help that we..."
Kuroba Kaito's tone suddenly became strong, "So I can't leave him alone!"
Hearing this, the Black Feather Thief nodded clearly, and after thinking for two seconds, he said seriously: "Kaito, although I know this person may be of great help to you."
"But unfortunately, he will not come back..."
"God Fan sent him to the sky above Kadath, where the endless void is where Azathoth, the blind and foolish god, lives."
"Once any human being goes to that kind of place, it is absolutely impossible to come back, so..."
"Impossible!" Kuroba Kaito shook off Kuroba Toichi's palm and shouted loudly.
"Uncle entered the dreamland because of my business, we can't let him stay there alone!"
Looking at his stubborn son, Black Feather Pirates shook his head slightly helplessly.
My son hasn't figured out the current situation yet.
Being sent to Azathoth by the Tibetan God is the most severe punishment even for the gods in the dream world.
Not to mention mere humans.
"If that's the case, then this is the only way..."
Kuroba Kaito was startled, thinking that Toichi could do something. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a hand sword coming towards him.
The hand knife struck Kuroba Kaito's neck accurately.
Kuroba Kaito's consciousness immediately faded and his body went limp.
Black Feather Thief caught his son's body in time, put it into the stone coffin, and pushed the heavy coffin lid to close again.
After doing this, the Black Feather Thief turned around and glanced at the exquisite castle on the hillside behind him, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
But the next second, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's time to make a break..."
…
On the sky blue Simmons bed, Kuroba Kaito suddenly opened his eyes.
There is a familiar ceiling in front of you, and you can smell the smell of home in your nose.
He first lay on the bed with his eyes wide open for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around nervously.
It is already bright outside the window. With the light coming from the thin curtains, you can see the familiar study table, bookcase, mural, and low table.
All the furnishings are exactly the same as in the memory.
This should be my bedroom...
Have you come back yet?
This time he spent so long in the dreamland that he couldn't accept the fact that he was back.
From Ultha to Dilas-Lynn, across the ocean to Inganok, then to Leng Yuan, and finally to Kadasi...
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his body froze.
Immediately afterwards, he ran out of bed like crazy, without even having time to put on his slippers, and came to Qin Zhibo's side.
Qin Zhibo was seen lying neatly on the floor, breathing evenly.
This made Kuroba Kaito startled again.
Still alive?
But dad said that people who fly over Kadasi cannot come back...
Just when Kuroba Kaito was confused, a possibility came to his mind.
When you venture into a dreamland, although your consciousness is not in your body, your body's functions in the real world are still maintained normally.
But once the consciousness is gone forever, the body will be like a vegetative state.
Is it possible that the current uncle is just a soulless body?
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito's pupils trembled and he stared at the man in front of him in disbelief.
After a moment, he made a sound of collapse.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle Qin!"
"ah--!"
Kuroba Kaito shouted hysterically, not only feeling guilty for the death of someone he had adventured with, but also feeling reluctant to lose a friend.
Ever since he met Qin Zhibo, the relationship between the two was deeper than ordinary friends, like comrades-in-arms, and even someone who guided him along the way, no less than a father.
If it weren't for Qin Zhibo, he might not be able to understand the clues on the murals in his life.
If it weren't for Qin Zhibo, he wouldn't be able to enter the dreamland, let alone reach Kadasi.
This was the second important life mentor he met after Kuroba Toichi.
But now, such an important person has stayed in that cold world forever for his own journey to find his father.
This painful feeling of guilt almost made Kuroba Kaito unable to breathe.
"Uncle..."
"No matter what happens in the future, I will treat you like a father."
"I, Kuroba Kaito, swear in the name of a magician."
Facing the "remains" of his benefactor, Kuroba Kaito made a heavy vow.
Although this oath cannot save the benefactor's life, it can at least alleviate some of the guilt in his heart.
However, just when the atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely solemn, the man lying on the floor suddenly opened his eyes.
"This is what you said~"
"Don't regret it~"
This scared Kuroba Kaito half to death.
"ah?!"
"Uncle, how did you...?"
Kuroba Kaito was so frightened that he stammered. Why can a vegetative person still talk?
Qin Zhibo looked at Kuroba Kaito's almost frightened face. Although he found it a bit funny, he still felt warm in his heart after hearing those heartfelt words just now.
Of course, he will not really accept Kuroba Kaito as his godson, it is enough to have this intention.
"Okay, don't worry about me for now. Is your dad back?" Qin Zhibo asked.
"Hmm... that should be it."
Kuroba Kaito forgot to ask Kuroba Toichi exactly how he came back, but now that he has arrived at the City of Bright Moon, it should only be a matter of time before he returns to the real world.
As soon as Qin Zhibo heard that the matter was settled, he replied: "Then I will go to bed first. If you have anything to do, wait until I wake up to talk about it..."
After saying that, Qin Zhibo put the quilt back on his head.
Now he is tired and sleepy, and his willpower value is only less than 30.
When he broke through the sky above Kadath, Qin Zhibo felt that he was not riding a Shantak bird in a dream, but his real body.
At that moment, he seemed to have broken some kind of barrier between Kadath and the real world.
Because of this, the body becomes exhausted like never before.
If it weren't for Kuroba Kaito nagging in his ears, giving him a headache, and asking him to be his godfather, he wouldn't even bother to get up.
Seeing Qin Zhibo fall asleep again, the expression on Kuroba Kaito's face was stunned.
Immediately, he also showed a knowing smile.
Nothing is more important than people's safety...
At this time, a girl's voice sounded outside the window.
"Kaito!"
"Quick-fight!"
Kuroba Kaito quickly came to the window, opened the curtains, and saw Aoko Nakamori standing on the balcony on the second floor next door wearing pink pajamas.
And Nakamori Aoko felt a little relieved when she saw Kuroba Kaito showing his face.
"Aoko, what's going on?" Kuroba Kaito tried his best to stick his head out of the window so as not to disturb Qin Zhibo's rest.
"I heard you shouting something just now. Did something happen?"
It turns out that Kuroba Kaito shouted so loudly that even Nakamori Aoko next door heard it.
"No, it's nothing!"
Kuroba Kaito scratched his head and laughed, "It was just a nightmare... it will be fine when I wake up!"
"oh……"
Nakamori Aoko was so fooled, and asked: "Then after you wash up, come to my house for breakfast. My mother just has a rest today."
"Aunt Bizi is resting?"
Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised, because Aoko's mother was a very busy person and she might not be able to take a few days off in a month.
If it was normal time, I should really show up there.
But today is something special.
"It still doesn't work, I have something to do later..."
"Something happened? But today is a day off, what can happen?" Aoko Nakamori asked in confusion.
The corners of Kuroba Kaito's mouth raised slightly, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.
"I have an important person whom I haven't seen for a long time and we have an appointment to meet today..."
Kuroba Kaito retracted his head, leaving Nakamori Aoko to tilt her head in confusion.
An important person you haven’t seen for a long time?
Is Aunt Qianying back from abroad?
…
Kuroba Kaito came out of the bedroom and made a simple breakfast using the remaining food in the refrigerator.
After the meal, he called Terai Huangnosuke and told him roughly what happened last night.
After hearing that Kuroba Toichi was indeed alive, Terai Kinosuke began to burst into tears on the phone.
"Okay! Master!"
"I'll be there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Kuroba Kaito sat on the sofa in the living room, still thinking with a slight frown on his face.
Although it is said that there is a way to return to the real world in the City of Bright Moon, how exactly does dad plan to come back?
After all, dad’s body no longer exists in the real world, so he can’t return in the form of a ghost, right?
"Um……"
Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito's eyes froze, and a possibility came to his mind.
He quickly ran back to his bedroom, gently turned the axis of the mural on the wall, and let "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" appear in front of him.
But what shocked him was that the dashing "Phantom Thief" in the middle of the painting had disappeared!
At this time, a magnetic male voice sounded from behind Kuroba Kaito.
