Chapter 42: The More You Know, The Scarier You Are
Urahara Kisuke followed Xilan and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Compared with people outside, the residents in Central Park seem much kinder, and they seem to be no different from most areas in the Three Realms.
There was not much defense in the eyes of people like them from the outside world, but Urahara Kisuke could see the panic and fear flashing in their eyes. Although they concealed it very well, their inner emotions were not so easy to cover up.
Anyone can notice that the world has changed now, and the moment the black sun appears, it carries this message. Even if someone replaces the black sun with the moon, they still feel uneasy.
He did not rush to contact them. He first followed Xi Lan to understand the situation a little bit.
Xi Lan shuttled through the town and finally stopped in front of a big tree.
This tree is very big, and it is actually a tree house. There should be a large room inside the tree, and the door is also very special, made of clustered flowers.
Xi Lan knocked on the door gently.
"Sister Katie, you should have known I was coming."
But still no one responded and the door didn't open.
Urahara Kisuke looked behind him, watching Xilan continue to wait, but he did not give up.
Although time is very tight, and there are still five days until the end of the world, they can't rush at this time.
Xilan leaned directly next to the tree house. He did not take the initiative to break in. Urahara Kisuke also would not break in. Even though time was tight now, they still had to wait.
Several hours have passed and still nothing has changed.
Urahara Kisuke's heart felt calm, and Xilan was still leaning against the tree without moving. The two of them could not see any anxiety.
"This moon... doesn't seem to be just moonlight."
Urahara Kisuke suddenly spoke. During this period of time, he was not waiting, but analyzing the environment of Central Park.
They are both in the devil world, why is Central Park so special?
While analyzing the surrounding environment, he realized that the moonlight was not normal.
Because the moon itself does not emit light, its light comes from the sun, but the sun is emitting black light. In fact, there is no black light in itself, but it is released just like it is, so the moon should also reflect black light.
of light.
The color issue is just a minor issue. After all, this is the devil's world, and common sense is of little use.
What puzzled him the most was that he felt the erosion of power from the moonlight, and that power was filled with fear.
Under the illumination of this moonlight, my heart will gradually be invaded by fear.
Thinking about it this way, the fear in the eyes of the residents just now may not necessarily be caused by Black Sun?
"This is the light of Delalion."
After hearing what Kisuke Urahara said, Xilan, who was leaning on the tree, said lightly, "Dlarion is the name of the moon in the demon world. According to legend, there are terrible monsters on it. I think this moon must have been summoned by Katie, and only she."
Can do this kind of thing."
"A scary monster?" Urahara Kisuke raised his voice and asked Xiang Xilan, "Can you explain it in detail?"
Xilan was a little surprised, maybe because he was wondering why Urahara Kisuke would care about this thing, but he still thought about it and said.
"There is an ancient legend in the demon world, which tells the story of the moon in the demon world, which is Delario." Xilan started from the beginning.
"It is said that there is a powerful monster living on Dralion. It will come to Terra on the night of the lunar eclipse. They are cruel and greedy and will devour all living things in sight. No one can stop them.
.But fortunately, after the lunar eclipse is over, it will return to the moon again."
"But it's not just a legend. A friend of mine, her name is Ramos, was swallowed by the monster in Delarion. Katie once investigated this matter and called the monster "Eclipse"
.”
so……
Is this the power of eclipse?
He found something wrong because he
Now a kind of fear has arisen in his heart, and he can hardly control the fear in his heart.
Something was indeed wrong, because the fear could not be eroding so fast. He had seen many people on the way here. They had stayed here longer than him and were eroded deeper, but they seemed to have not been affected by it.
Perceive that erosion.
It is conceivable that the fear in the moonlight does not corrode them quickly, but why is it different in myself?
He glanced at Xi Lan and found that Xi Lan had not changed much.
Is it because I am not a native of the Demon World?
It's not impossible, after all, this is indeed the biggest difference between him and these people.
But he always felt that this might not be the real reason...
"Because you know too much."
Suddenly, the door of the wreath was opened, and a woman walked out of it. She was wearing a green robe, had a darker complexion, and had long gray hair. She had pointed ears, which was in line with people's perception of an elf.
image.
Katie?
"Sister Katie, you finally came to see me!"
Xilan's words proved this. He opened his hands as if to hug Katie. Katie looked at him angrily, and then said to Urahara Kisuke.
"The more you understand, the more you will suffer backlash. Lies will not hurt people. The truth is the sharpest knife. This is one of Eclipse's abilities."
Urahara Kisuke's eyes flickered, and he vaguely understood what Katie said.
What she meant was that she understood eclipse and fear, so she would be eroded by more fear, so Xi Lan who came with him had nothing to do, but he had clearly felt the power.
Because he is analyzing moonlight!
But at the same time, he took a deep look at Katie.
Is this woman really just talking about eclipse?
He came this time to seek the truth about Kahn, and Katie told him that the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be. She may not only mean that she was talking about Eclipse, but also about Kahn.
The more you know about Kahn, the more dangerous it becomes?
Urahara Kisuke slowly closed his eyes and opened them again not long after.
"I'm just here to face the blade."
He said firmly to Katie
Katie looked at Urahara Kisuke and Xilan and sighed.
"You two, come in."
After saying that, she returned to the house. Xilan and Urahara Kisuke looked at each other and followed them in without hesitation.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, the door at the back was closed tightly, as if they were on guard against something.
Urahara Kisuke looked at this tree house. The space was larger than he imagined. It seemed that special means had been used to expand the internal space. There were several houses inside, and one of them should be a study room, because the door was open.
There are many books in it.
Katie sat on the green sofa in the living room and put two cups of tea on the table.
"Sister Katie, we have known each other for a long time, so there is no need to be so polite."
Xilan took the tea, and he and Urahara Kisuke sat across from Katie. He smiled and said, "I knew you would definitely see me."
"So... you're going to drag me into trouble within two days of returning to the Demon Realm?" There was some sadness on Katie's face, and it was obvious that she knew what Xi Lan was doing when she came back this time.
Urahara Kisuke didn't speak and let Xilan talk first. He wanted to see if he could get any information.
Judging from Katie's attitude, she originally didn't want to see Xi Lan because she knew the purpose of Xi Lan's trip and she was afraid that she would be dragged into the water by him.
"I'm not dragging you down, sister Katie. You may not know that the end is coming soon, and everyone will die by then." Xilan seemed ready to tell what was predicted in Genesis, but who knew Katie just shook her head and said
"Of course I know that the end is coming, and I also know what was predicted in Genesis, but life and death are just a reincarnation, and the world is just a big dream. If people die, then the world will also die.
The day will come sooner or later."
She seemed to be very open-minded, and Urahara Kisuke noticed that what she said came from the heart and was not false. She seemed to really not care about the coming of the end.
"Then what are you talking about, Sister Katie? You are not even afraid of death, so are you still afraid of Kahn?" Xilan was puzzled. This was also Urahara Kisuke's question.
"Since life and death are a reincarnation, there is nothing to be afraid of as long as you are still in this reincarnation." Katie sighed softly, "But the matter involving Kahn is unusual. Once it is interfered with, it is not just a matter of death. I
Even though I only knew a little bit about it, I still felt a creeping fear."
"So, I advise you not to interfere too much, and I won't help you."
"...But, what is more terrifying than death?" Xilan was still puzzled, and he said anxiously, "And I can't imagine how scared you are, Sister Katie. We have grown up step by step from being weak.
Until now, you have experienced all kinds of fears, what do you really know?"
"I won't tell you." Katie said softly, "Some things, just knowing about them is a sin. Just spreading them will have consequences that you can't imagine. The more you know, the more scared you will be. The more you know...
…”
She looked at Urahara Kisuke seriously, and Urahara Kisuke also looked directly at her, only to hear Katie say as if to warn them.
"The real terror will be revived."
Urahara Kisuke frowned. He didn't quite understand what Katie meant. Seeing that Xilan stopped talking, he knew it was his turn.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly said
"What if the person who knows about this dies?"
Katie frowned, then she shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I still say what I said before, life and death are a cycle. In this cycle, there is nothing to be afraid of. The real thing to be afraid of is life and death."
Something other than that.”
Urahara Kisuke continued, "How do you know everything?"
Many apostles didn't know about the prophecies in Genesis. Charles Foz realized it through the Age of Innovation, but what about Katie?
Does she also have a destiny stone?
"I can communicate with all things..." Katie said, "I naturally know all things. I signed a contract with the apostle Casillas. He is also the apostle who knows the prophecies of Genesis."
"As for Kahn... Casillas once had a battle with Kahn. After that battle, Casillas found me and signed a contract with me. I gave his existence to countless summoners.
, allowing them to summon Casillas’ clone to fight.”
"Obviously he failed, so he has to use my power to keep him fighting and getting stronger."
"Kahn also found me after that battle. He asked me to build an area where he could rest, which is Central Park. Since then, I have spent most of my time in this Central Park, and I have a deep affection for him.
Then it’s normal to have some understanding.”
"You mean Kahn is in Central Park?" Urahara Kisuke asked
"What do you think?" Katie didn't answer
Urahara Kisuke frowned, but Katie seemed to have said enough. She finally said, "This is all I have said. I have given you some advice. It depends on what you choose next. But I still want to say that the more you know, the better."
The more desperate.”
Urahara Kisuke was shocked. He quickly asked, "Wait a minute, I have another question. Who is Zhuwu?!"
Katie looked at the two of them and said nothing.
Urahara Kisuke's heart sank. In other words, Zhu Wu was involved in Kahn's secret that Katie knew? Or did she really stop saying anything?
"Sister Katie, although I don't know what you discovered, but when the end comes, protect yourself."
Xi Lan sighed and left without drinking the tea in the cup.
Urahara Kisuke seemed to be still thinking about something in his mind, but he couldn't stay here anymore after Xi Lan left him. Katie answered their questions because of Xi Lan's face in the past.
Although he didn't get much clear information, Urahara Kisuke got some hints, which can be considered
It must be rewarding.
"I really don't know how Sister Katie became like this. The Sister Katie I knew before would never let the apocalypse happen. She is a very kind person. She only sees through her own life and death, but she will not treat her badly.
Look on indifferently at the suffering of others.”
After leaving the tree house, Xi Lan looked a little uncomfortable.
Urahara Kisuke smiled, but he said somewhat relaxedly, "Maybe she has some difficulties?"
"What do you mean?" Xilan suddenly raised his head and stared at Urahara Kisuke with a bright light in his eyes.
"Do you know about the spread of viruses? From one pathogen to other people, and from other people to others, maybe the truth contains the virus. Once enough people know this truth, what will happen is extremely terrifying.
something happened."
Urahara Kisuke made his own guess: "At the same time, those who know the truth will be counterattacked by the truth. Before reaching a certain level, knowing too many things itself means death."
He took another look at the tree house he just left, maybe...
Katie summoned Delalion just to remind herself of these things at this moment.
The more you understand about Eclipse, the more you will be eroded by the fear it releases. This means that the more you understand about Kahn, the more you will be swallowed up by the truth. That kind of swallowing must be more terrifying than death!
