Chapter 2776 A Vague Warning

"so……"

The woman sighed and looked at the Rice brothers, whose faces darkened immediately after Gu Xiaole and Xueyin lost consciousness, their expressions a mixture of emotions: "You really don't plan to save this kid?"

Ferry twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a dry voice, "Is it possible that just getting Miss Xueyin and Miss Gu into Brother Motan's mental world cost us almost our lifespans?"

"To ensure their actions are protected and monitored throughout, we are now pushing ourselves to the limit every minute of every day."

Qiao stared intently at Mo Tan, who was still unconscious, and said to Cha Nu without raising her head: "You have never faced original sin, little mouse, so I understand that you will subconsciously increase the weight of 'affection'. However, if you have truly faced that concept, if you have truly stood on the opposite side of [sin], you will know... that so-called affection, pity, morality, fairness, and ethics are utterly worthless in the face of it. You can only do two things: resist or succumb."

The maiden did not refute, but instead nodded obediently: "I understand."

"No, you don't understand. You're only saying things against your conscience because you're currently in a stronger position and we can crush you with a flick of our wrist."

Ferry shook his head and said in a light tone, "But it doesn't matter. Joe and I are both results-oriented. As long as you don't get in our way, we won't risk offending that club owner by causing you trouble. In fact, we quite like you, this loyal and righteous rat."

The woman gave a forced smile and shrank back into the sofa: "Well, thank you both for your kind words."

“We’re telling the truth, little mouse. We really like your personality. In fact, we’re both kindred spirits in a way.”

Joe looked at the woman with a serious expression and said solemnly, "But unfortunately, we can never understand each other. The difference is that we have faced sin directly, while you have not."

The woman smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "I understand. As my spiritual mentor once said, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Since I have indeed never directly dealt with [sin], I have no reason to refute the 'conclusions' you have drawn after practice. And I... truly have no intention of getting involved with that thing."

"A wise decision, little mouse."

Ferry chuckled, saying casually, "So, if nothing unexpected happens, a question should be nagging at you right now—"

"Why are we still willing to lend a helping hand to Brother Mo Tan, even though we have clearly defined that 'crime' is unforgivable?"

Joe snapped his fingers and smiled, "After all, based on our previous arguments, we should have killed Brother Mo Tan the moment we noticed his connection to [Sin], instead of doing what we're doing now, not only not taking the pain, but even being willing to pay a huge price to help those two young ladies."

The maiden thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I am a mouse, not a cat, so although I am indeed a little curious, I am perfectly fine with it if you feel it is not necessary to tell me."

"On the contrary, we actually really want to talk to someone."

Ferry shrugged, giving the young woman no chance to remain uninvolved, and said bluntly, "Firstly, the reason is that although we can easily annihilate Brother Mo Tan, leaving him with no burial place, it doesn't mean that the [sin] within him will disappear. On the contrary, if that original sin, which has been stable within him for over twenty years, loses the shackle of 'Mo Tan,' it is very likely to go out of control, and the two of us brothers are absolutely unable to bear that price."

Joe then made a peace sign and added, "As for the second reason, it's because we received a vague warning before."

"A blurry..."

The maiden frowned and repeated, "A warning?"

"Yes, a vague warning, really, really vague~"

Ferry made an exaggerated gesture and said in a light tone, "It was probably more than ten years ago, not long after that terrible disaster ended, and after the abnormal and otherworldly beings in this world had only been living peacefully for a few years, when an uninvited guest visited [Strange and Unusual]."

"Among the marginalized people, he stands apart from the 'Four Great Ghost Kings' and the 'Three Demon Envoys.' He is neither like the 'Demon Blade,' whose lineage is unstable and only appears in times of chaos, nor like the 'Heavenly Monster,' which is as old as heaven and earth. Instead, he observes everything from a different perspective, hiding in the dust of history most of the time, yet exerting his influence."

Joe scratched his head and said with a helpless expression, "That [Divine Calculator], who is different from the four basic concepts of 'demon,' 'ghost,' and 'monster,' and was directly given the title of 'god' after the awakening of symbolic power, has found us two brothers."

The woman paused for a moment, then immediately uttered the name of the person known to everyone 'behind the scenes': "You mean... [Divine Calculator] Du Tian?"

"Well, it's that shameless old bastard."

Ferry leaned back on the sofa, looking wistful, and said, "Du Tian, ​​the most high-profile yet most capable of concealing his true abilities, who single-handedly trained two bastards, [Heavenly Book] and [Tarot], who were core prophets in the Salvation and Destruction camps respectively.

Although she claimed to be a mouse rather than a cat, the girl, whose curiosity had been piqued, immediately asked, "What did he say to you?"

"Someday in the future, there will be a little kid who has a connection with you, and you will encounter a little bit of a delicate, hard-to-explain situation that might scare you to tears."

As Joe recalled that vague 'warning,' he continued with a complicated expression, "When that time comes, don't overthink it, just lend him a hand, okay?"

Ferry rolled his eyes: "That guy even used a question!"

“We didn’t take that statement seriously at all, because that old Du Tian is used to talking nonsense. Not one out of a hundred of his statements is true. In fact, in most cases, his long-winded ‘predictions’ that lasted for hours were just for the purpose of getting some treasure from you, or simply to get a free meal.”

Joe snorted irritably and gritted his teeth, saying, "Besides, even if you just look at our shop, you'll know that the invincible merchant who can develop poop candy, the super-standard demon hunter, and the businessman who stands at the pinnacle of the Three Realms and Six Paths, would not be easily scared to tears."

"result……"

Ferry looked down at Mo Tan's harmless face and said in a dry voice, "We were almost scared to tears just now."

“FUXK! That’s the [sin], the [original sin] that could completely twist us both into madmen if we’re not careful! And it’s so vividly residing in Brother Mo Tan’s body and mind.”

Qiao cursed angrily, complaining, "I was not only almost scared to tears, I almost peed myself."

Cha Nu: "...It's okay if you don't need to go into such detail."

"In conclusion, remembering Du Tian's advice, we ultimately chose to follow our hearts and help Brother Mo Tan while [Sin] was still under control."

Ferry spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "As for more, we don't know either. I even doubt that Du Tian himself knows."

"After all, there's 'Karma' watching over us. In the end, the profession of 'divine divination' is actually about committing crimes under the very nose of 'Karma.' If you're not careful, you'll be killed by a massive amount of 'reports.' So Du Tian probably only had a vague premonition at the time, and then used some means to visualize that premonition while bypassing 'Karma,' and finally found us as the 'node' to facilitate certain things."

As Joe rubbed his chin, he speculated, "And what exactly these 'certain things' are, he probably doesn't even know himself, since knowing them could easily get him killed."

"After all, 'karma' is such a troublesome thing, although there are exceptions."

Ferry clicked his tongue and sighed, "For example, the 'karma' in the game 'The Realm of Innocence' seems to possess a kind of 'self-awareness,' not just an individual of 'rules.' That's why Du Tian's colleagues in 'The Realm of Innocence,' the so-called great astrologers, could complete high-level 'prophecies' without paying a price. This is because 'rules' that have developed will can not only decide whether to make exceptions, but can even 'indulge' when necessary." "So what happens after that is beyond our control."

Qiao's gaze sharpened slightly, and he said seriously, "Of course, putting aside the 'lies' we told Miss Gu and Miss Xueyin just now to comfort them, we also hope that Brother Mo Tan can be safe and sound, but all we can do... what you see now is all we can do."

"We don't know what will happen in the future, and we don't know whether those on the fringes can still contribute to this cause."

Ferry's expression was more serious than ever before, and he said in a deep voice, "The only thing we know is that after the many events, led by the game 'Innocent Realm,' have spiraled out of control, those saviors who have accumulated too much 'karma' have probably lost the right to save anything anymore."

"but……"

"They might not be unable to pave a relatively easier path for future generations."

"Neither of us ever thought those guys could do anything more."

"Similarly, we don't think they can't do anything."

"After all, even we..."

"Aren't we doing what we believe is right and what we want to do?"

"Isn't this also helping people you admire and want to help?"

"A true adult is someone who, even knowing their own limitations, is still capable of achieving great things..."

"We should also do our best to help the younger generation of these aging old folks."

……

ten minutes ago
The secluded labyrinth, the origin

"so……"

Struggling to his feet from the cold 'ground', Gu Xiaole looked around in a daze at where he was and hesitated, asking, "Where am I?"

"A maze."

Almost simultaneously, Xueyin regained consciousness and her energy. Her face was full of excitement as she looked around. She said with certainty, "This must be a maze!"

"Ah."

Beside Gu Xiaole, the witch with her arms crossed nodded slightly: "Go to hell."

"Why did you... Never mind, since they're protecting you too, let's do it together. After all, there's strength in numbers."

Gu Xiaole looked at the Samurai next to her, who was surrounded by a lot of golden Old English characters just like herself and looked quite unhappy, and said with a smile, "Then, please take care of me from now on."

"Go to hell."

The servant spirit first expressed his thoughts concisely and directly, then urged anxiously, "Hurry up."

"I know I know."

Gu Xiaole raised her small face and looked at the towering, magnificent, and mysteriously constructed maze-like outer wall in front of her, which seemed to exude an aura of 'keep away the uninvited' and whose material was unknown. After a rough estimate, she hesitated and said, "But the size of this thing is probably no smaller than a city."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Xueyin knows that Tan is inside, that's enough. Xueyin can already sense Tan."

The planet-level idol smiled brightly and said triumphantly, "Xueyin and Tan have the most similar soul wavelengths, so mazes are no problem at all. Just follow your instincts, and Xueyin will definitely find Tan!"

"A confidence without any basis, but it's actually quite reassuring."

Having also caught a glimpse of that familiar, haunting scent, Gu Xiaole smiled and said in a light tone, "In short, our destination should be different now, right?"

"That's natural."

Xueyin tugged at her overly ornate pigtails, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she said, "I never said I was going to steal your man~"

“Be careful. Although I don’t feel it very clearly, there is some terrifying danger here besides ‘them’. I suspect it’s related to the ‘concept’ that the twin shopkeepers are afraid of.”

Gu Xiaole narrowed his eyes, looked at the calm and stable Mad Night above his head, and said seriously, "After all, you are a half-baked practitioner, and your magic is more skillful than Symbolic Power. If it really doesn't work, I'll let the Servant Soul go with you."

"No."

However, the witch beside her simply said in a cold voice, "Go to hell."

"Haha, I appreciate your kind offer, but Xueyin doesn't need you to worry about her."

The planet-level idol waved his hand, then strolled over to one of the nearest 'entrances,' which resembled a city gate and could accommodate several carriages entering side by side. Without turning his head, he said, "This is Tan's territory, Xueyin will definitely be fine."

"Ah... that mindset is truly enviable."

Watching Xueyin's figure disappear into the unpleasant entrance of the maze, Gu Xiaole sighed silently, then smiled faintly.

"However, if possible, I'd also like you to protect me properly, Mo-chan."

"Go to hell."

"Then, let's set off."
