After passing a broken bridge, Ye Zuxi and Abu arrived in front of the church with the little wandering soul.
Ye Zuxi noticed that this church was unusual.
There was a strange ritual, but Ye Zuxi himself did not feel any danger from this ritual.
"We're here!" The little wandering soul was very happy.
Abu usually heads towards the past and steps into the scope of the ceremony.
Nothing happened, which was consistent with Ye Zuxi's initial judgment. Just as he was about to step in, Ye Zuxi's hearing caught something and he looked to the side of the church.
"Stop." A hoarse voice sounded, followed by a figure walking out from there.
A tall figure wrapped himself very tightly and carried a huge sword on his back. The death aura on his body already indicated his identity.
"Hello." Ye Zuxi said, feeling the calm melody on the other person's body.
"A living person?"
"Yes."
"This city has been closed for I don't know how many years. There aren't even a single wandering soul. Why is there still a living one here?" The figure was a little surprised.
Ye Zuxi did not continue on this topic, but said: "I have no ill intentions, I just want to find someone."
"We are already tired of fighting against red spirits. It would be too much if you are added to the list. We don't care what you are here for. Just don't burden us. You should have encountered red spirits before."
"Yes."
"Look, you're not very strong. You're so powerful that you can get here. Is it because of this friend who doesn't look like a living thing and has no life force?" That person obviously cared more about Abu than Ye Zuxi.
Ye Zuxi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was somewhat strange.
He often meets people who can tell his secrets as a puppet master at a glance, which makes him think that this is the norm in another world. If he hadn't gone out to do some ordinary tasks recently, he would really not be used to others treating him separately from the puppets.
Regarding this question, the other party was not persistent and said instead: "You seem to be quite clear-headed. I will do a little physical examination on you and then let you in."
As he spoke, he tapped twice on the fence beside him.
The ritual was operating slightly, and Ye Zuxi felt a light melody lingering around him.
Abu was alert immediately, but was stopped by Ye Zuxi. The melody was normal.
The white light swept over him, and nothing unusual appeared on his body.
"Well, okay, there is no iron-blooded smell, you can come in."
Hearing this, Ye Zuxi and Abu slowly entered the church.
When she came to the wandering soul, Ye Zuxi realized that he was much taller than he looked from a distance, a full head taller than him.
"Human, what are you doing in this damn place? Can't you survive outside?" the other party asked familiarly as soon as he came up.
"It's normal outside. I came here for something." Ye Zuxi said.
"That's it. It seems that we have survived. Humans are as tenacious as some insects." The other party shrugged and laughed casually, with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"What are you referring to? Has there been any disaster outside that could lead to the extinction of mankind?" Ye Zuxi was keenly aware of something.
"Huh? What year is it now?" The other party was a little surprised, "Forget it, I don't care. It seems that although I survived, it should not be short. I actually forgot about that kind of thing. Yes, yes, I don't care.
Forget that humans are very forgetful.”
Ye Zuxi looked at him, waiting for the next step.
"Well, how should I put it? It's a bit complicated, and I don't remember it very clearly." The other party seemed to think about it for a moment, "Do you know where the red spirit came from?"
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen this kind of strange soul."
"Here, we are used to calling it Iron-Blooded Red Spirit, or simply Red Spirit. The pollution attached to the body is 'Iron-Blooded'. I don't know its name outside. Anyway, there was no such thing when I died." The other party said casually.
He said, "But I heard from some normal friends who came in during the time when the red spirit came that a war started outside, and it was a big war. It would be a disaster for all living beings."
Information related to the French War quickly flashed through Ye Zuxi's mind.
This is the largest war in human history on the Golden Continent, and it is also the closest war to the present.
Is it that war? Isn’t that war because countries are competing for hegemony? Is there any hidden story behind it?
"After some of my more knowledgeable companions heard some things, they immediately judged that no matter how crazy humans are, they will never go crazy like that without warning. I am afraid there is a driving force behind this. In addition, so many red spirits are war soldiers.
It’s not hard to guess what’s hidden behind the clothes.” The other party faced Ye Zuxi, his small eyes looking through the scarf and hat.
"The mastermind behind the war?"
"We can only rely on guessing about this kind of thing since we have already died. If you can still get out alive, you can go find it yourself." The other party shook his head and said.
Ye Zuxi nodded and said, "I'm here to find someone, a person named 'Molea'."
As soon as the name came out, the other party's head turned back: "Do you know Molea? What's your name?"
The other party's tone seemed a bit serious and dangerous, and Ye Zuxi raised his spirits: "Why do you want to know my name?"
"Make sure you are someone we know."
"This is my first time coming here. You can't know me. I have no acquaintances here." Ye Zuxi narrowed his eyes and said. He had not even stayed in the Golden Continent for a few months. This immortal city seems to have been sealed off.
Who can he know after hundreds or thousands of years?
"That's it, that's good. Judging from your honesty, you shouldn't be the one named Ed." The other party looked at Ye Zuxi up and down, then smiled and said.
"Ed?" Ye Zuxi was shocked in his heart, but remained unmoved on the surface.
"Yes, do you recognize this name?"
"I don't know, who is he?"
"A scumbag."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"No, it just feels like the topic is jumping a bit." Why did the topic suddenly become weird? Is this the time to talk about relationship issues? What did Ed do here before?
"Then it seems that even if you knew Ed, he didn't tell you these things."
"What did he do?"
"It ruined Molea's heart."
"...beginning with chaos and ending with abandonment?"
"Yes, you can say that."
Ye Zuxi didn't continue to ask. He felt like a big melon and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. But he would confirm with his own eyes. If Ed really did something bad, he would probably fight with Aaron.
Report or something.
Although Ye Zuxi has never been in love at this age, it also makes him relatively conservative and simple in this aspect. This is also the reason why he doesn't like Song Jie.
I hope Ed's integrity won't fall into this strange place.
Although in my impression, the father and son had exactly the same cheerful smiles, and they didn't look like people who would let down their bodies and play with women's emotions, but Ed was obviously much more indulgent and casual than Aaron, so he couldn't tell for sure.
Moreover, if Aide really did it, he would not have fallen into such an obvious trap, let alone let Ye Zuxi, a person who is obviously related to Alon, come here to find someone.
Unless he purely wants to experience his father's "love" again after a long absence?
Ye Zuxi coughed twice and put away her inexplicably violent thoughts. She came back to her senses and looked at the person in front of her and said, "I want to find her."
"What are you looking for her for?"
"Something's wrong."
"Okay, but we haven't seen her for a long time."
Ye Zuxi frowned, "Then what's the matter with you having so many scenes just now?"
"Actually, we are also looking for her. She is different from the ordinary wandering souls like us. She comes from the center of the city. We originally wanted her to take us there," the other party said.
"City center?"
"Yes, the building in the center of the city is huge, but we don't know what is inside that building complex. We have only heard rumors that it is the place where the immortal lord lives. Occasionally, there are wandering souls who are summoned into it.
You will be blessed there and get an identity connected to this city. If you do this, you will never forget your name." The other person recalled.
"Where are you going?" Ye Zuxi followed his line of sight and saw that there was indeed a group of buildings in the distance that were significantly higher than other buildings in the city. The style gave people no sense of life, and was different from the ordinary buildings in the city.
Different, ancient, noble and mysterious.
"The memory of wandering souls will gradually deteriorate. It is inherited from the problems of human beings. Some people are gifted and forget slowly, while some people are too lazy to remember, so they forget quickly."
"If you forgot?"
"It will become a mass of unconscious souls."
"It's like death to you."
"Absolutely. Although it's strange to say that he is dead again, we don't care what you say. He is a guy who is half-dead for various reasons." The man in front of him is quite free and easy.
He continued: "We have been staying here fighting with those crazy red spirits who come and go. We don't even know what we are doing. This city no longer needs our protection, no, it has not been needed from the beginning. Haha
.So we wanted to find something to do, such as going to the city center."
"Isn't there an immortal lord?"
"That's bullshit!" He cursed mercilessly, "I don't know what kind of thing it is. It doesn't care about us or the city. Why should we care about it?"
Ye Zuxi said nothing more.
"Anyway, Molea has been missing for a long time. We are looking for something to do and investigating her whereabouts. You just come here for the same purpose as us."
"It seems so." Ye Zuxi nodded calmly.
"Haha, don't be so straight-faced. Sadness is everywhere in this ghost place. Can you, a living person, stop crying like this?"
"My expression is normal."
"Is that so? Do you have any friends outside?"
"……have."
"Well, there are always people who can stand you. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself after talking for so long. My name is Crow. This is actually not my complete name. I only remember these two pronunciations so far, but
That’s good, my original name was certainly not short, but now it’s easy to remember.”
Although he could only see his eyes through the gap between his scarf and hat, Ye Zuxi could clearly read the smile in his eyes.
As well as the melody on this person, he finally understood why this wandering soul had such a melodious and lively melody.
