Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

When Patchouli woke up relaxed, it was already early morning with the sun rising.

"Is this... um, the water of life?"

A sage is a sage. The first second after waking up, Patchouli figured out why she had recovered her health so quickly.

Apart from Ye He, who used the Water of Life to restore his body in front of her, Patchouli didn't think that there was anyone else in Eternal Night City who possessed this treasure.

but……

"Why am I sleeping on the couch?"

Patchouli looked around at her place in confusion. Although she was covered with a blanket, this was obviously a living room, right?
There are as many "bedrooms" as you want in the Evernight City. After all, he is an "Eighth King" and a sage. Ye He knows that he is one of the "Sons of God"...

He recalled how Ye He grabbed his belt and rudely lifted him up before he fell ill.

Patchouli roughly confirmed that her current situation was probably also due to Ye He.

"Clap."

Just at this moment, the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Ye He, neatly dressed, walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing that Patchouli had sat up, he smiled at the somewhat angry girl:
"Awake? This is Nora's tavern. You asked me to take you away, but your library is tightly closed, and I can't take you to the bedroom downstairs."

Ye He was a bit of a villain and complained first, but what he said was actually correct. Patchouli had simply set up a huge cylindrical cage for herself and Ye He.

Those bookshelves are not just for decoration. Under the setting of Patchouli, the Sage of Eternal Night, their defense power from the inside out is terrifying.

And the space in the library was also stretched by Patchouli at that time. If Ye He chose to fly upwards, he would find that the space could continue to extend upwards, making it difficult for him to fly out from the "skylight" where he could see the moon.

If Ye He hadn't immediately realized that it would be difficult to break out of the library from the inside, and flying out from above would be even more unlikely.

He also wouldn't throw the Cleaner directly into the Abyss Hole.

"How do you know my bedroom... Never mind, that's right! Abyss!"

Patchouli quickly grasped the key point. She hurriedly wanted to jump off the sofa and go back to the Eternal Night Library to seal the abyss hole blasted out by her mother.

But she saw Ye He calmly came to the single sofa and sat down, and then she realized that the hole in the abyss should have been dealt with.

"The Grand Duke came and gathered the entrance to the abyss, waiting for you to deal with it? Ha, the Evernight City would have been finished long ago."

Ye He kept smiling at Patchouli on his face, but he showed no mercy with his words.

Looking at what happened from his perspective, it is understandable why he was sarcastic towards Patchouli.

First of all, he never hid his identity as an outsider. It was Patchouli herself who was too much of a homebody and had no idea about Yehe's information.

Secondly, he and Anna... at least they were somewhat compatible, or at least they had a workplace romance.

The attack on Ye He by Anna and Patchouli's mother, the "real moon" [Corrupted Blood Moon], is actually somewhat unreasonable.

In the end, Patchouli was sick, but she did not dismantle the internal defense mechanism of the Eternal Night Library.

She can give hints if she wants, but she always says it after things are irreversible.

So Ye He classified Patchouli as "waste" and no longer wanted to get any useful information from her.

You know, once news and intelligence are delayed, the damage to Yehe will be far greater than the benefits.

It would be better for Yehe to find out through other channels.

"…It's all because of your books… Oh, right! The Origin of Life!
Do you recognize that kind of writing? That is the writing of the Creator God of this world!
The Origin of Life reveals the beginning of everything in this world, but I haven’t completely deciphered the contents of the book, you…”

Ye He stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture, interrupting Patchouli's chattering.

Well, this is why Ye He thought Patchouli was a waste. At that time, Ye He's entire body, including his hell suit, was destroyed by the red moonlight. How could the "Origin of Life" in his hand be spared?

"Don't you think... that your mother gave me that blow... was to keep us from knowing the contents of the book?"

Patchouli was stunned when she heard Ye He say this. Then, like a child whose "contraband" had been confiscated by her mother, she sat there feeling a little depressed.

"Besides, what's the point of knowing the origin? The most important thing for people is to live in the present."

Ye He's words of consolation were said intentionally. He was secretly stimulating Patchouli to reveal more secrets.

But Patchouli didn't say anything except glaring at him. Instead, she turned her head and looked around the living room.

After all, he is a sage. Patchouli has now completely regained her sanity and has discovered that Ye He has a bad attitude towards her and is still trying to trick her.

Tsk.

Ye He was shocked in his heart. What annoyed him most was this kind of riddle-teller who had something to say but didn't say it.

Can your mother still blast you with moonlight?

"You said this is Nora's tavern? The tavern of the Tyrant of Dead Night? Where is she?"

Patchouli tried to change the subject.

"Cough cough!"

In the bedroom where Ye He had just come out, Nora's cough was heard immediately. A few seconds later, Nora, who had changed into a clean pajamas that could be seen by outsiders, walked out of the bedroom in a somewhat embarrassed and angry manner.

Because Patchouli revealed her "Eighth King Title" to Ye He, Nora gave Patchouli an extra glare.

Then, in her surprised gaze, he came and sat in Ye He's arms.

"you……"

Patchouli blushed and realized that the reason she fell asleep on the sofa in the living room was because the couple occupied the bedroom.

They are inside...

Many technical methods of physical exercise from "The Legend of the Great Detective" emerged in Patchouli's mind, making her face even redder.

The shameless Ye He didn't care about the girl's shyness, and even Nora, because of her maturity, quickly got over her initial shame and anger.

"Sage, what happened last night? Why did you and Ye He encounter the Abyss Hole in the library?"

Nora asked Patchouli about serious matters.

The existence of Eternal Night City is built on the ten largest abyss entrances in the world.

The deep pit that appeared in the Eternal Night Library last night only blasted a very small "hole" at the entrance to the abyss under the Eternal Night City.

Otherwise, the Grand Duke would not be able to seal the hole by tearing the earth apart and forcing the crust to gather together.

What made Nora curious was actually the reason for the appearance of this hole. As for the Sage of Eternal Night itself... although they had never met before, Nora was actually very satisfied with Patchouli who had been staying in the library.

At least he wasn't as "thorny" as the Grand Duke or the Fanatic. "...It was an accident. It probably won't happen again. This is the only explanation I can give you."

Patchouli's answer was the same as not saying anything, but her attitude was firm enough, so Nora did not continue to pursue the cause of the incident, and instead discussed with her the product after the death of the man born from the breath of the abyss.

Those are the white energy lines that spread throughout the world.

Ye He was listening with great interest at first, but these two highly professional Eighth Kings soon began to utter many professional terms, which made Ye He confused.

"You guys talk first, and then tell me what the results are."

So he chose to put Nora aside and walked out of the Eternal Night Tavern alone in the morning light.

"You and him...became lovers?"

But what Ye He didn't know was that as soon as he left, Patchouli suddenly changed the topic to Ye He and Nora's personal relationship.

"Any questions?"

Nora was still very satisfied with Ye He, satisfied in every aspect and in every sense.

The appearance of Ye He not only brought about the urgent need for daily necessities in Yongye City, but also made them difficult to obtain from the outside world.

The water of life he held restored his health, and he never made himself unhappy when he was with himself.

Before Nora fantasized about things like "getting married and having children", Ye He as her "boyfriend" made her very satisfied.

"Dead Night Tyrant, aren't you afraid that the concept of the god of death in you will suddenly kill him?"

Patchouli once again mentioned Nora's title of the Eight Kings. There is only the person who recognized the wrong person, but no wrong name. Nora's title of "Tyrant of the Dead Night" is actually very telling.

As the "daughter of death", Nora inherited the concept of "death" that was stripped and gathered in the City of Eternal Night after her father's death.

These concepts were sublimated in Nora's body. Ordinary people, let alone getting close to Nora, could be "killed instantly" and suddenly die because of these concepts just by approaching Nora's real body!

And this is not an ability that Nora can control by her own will.

The longer you are in contact with Nora, the more likely it is that the concept of death in Nora's body will take effect.

Even Patchouli, the Grand Duke and the other eight kings would have a certain chance of being suddenly cursed to death by the concept of death if they had contact with Nora for a long time.

That's why Nora usually wraps herself in layers of bone shell and rarely goes out.

To put it bluntly, if Nora went out for a walk around Eternal Night City in her true form every day, the entire Eternal Night City would become a "dead city" in less than half a month.

The curse of death is unsolvable, and even the "immortal" nature of the City of Eternal Night may not be able to withstand it completely.

"Don't worry about that. It won't happen."

But Nora still gave Patchouli a smug smile.

Because...the Death card!

This card depicts the future appearance of the Grim Reaper, and the concept of death contained in it is much higher than Nora's one-star one!

Ye He, who was bound to the Death Card, could not be harmed at all by the concept of death in Nora's body.

This is also the reason why Nora can be intimate with Ye He without worry.

On the other side, Ye He, who left the tavern, did not leave the Eternal Night City immediately. Instead, he walked in the morning light across the Eternal Night City, where people were gradually sparsely populated as the sun rose, and came to the outer city.

If I remember correctly...

Ye He stopped in front of a small two-story house near the central city.

He used Caesar to lock all of them last night and fell into the white energy lines in the Eternal Night City.

Most of them were dealt with or contained on the spot by Nora and Fanatic, with only one fish escaping and falling into the house in front of them.

Compared to the academic discussion between Nora and Patchouli, Ye He was more willing to see for himself what kind of impact this thing would have on living organisms.

Different life forms should also encounter different impacts. Ye He has simply formulated an "observation" strategy. The first place is here to see the impact it has on the monster residents of Eternal Night City.

Later he also planned to check out the hotels and taverns on the outskirts of the mainland, as well as even further out... back into the Laurent Empire, to see from these places the impact it had on monster users and ordinary humans.

In addition, just in case, Ye He plans to return to Sedawell later to visit Anna and check his base camp.

If the white line energy line has a particularly bad effect on people, Ye He will have to check whether there are any lucky people among his own forces.

While thinking this, Ye He strode into the house as he pushed the door open.

Caesar had already helped Ye He lock on the target, so he came to the door of a bedroom on the second floor with a clear goal and stood there quietly.

What a coincidence, Ye He just discovered that he had been to this place before.

This happened to be Ruili's home. The white energy line that escaped the net did not select Ruili, who was not at home at the time and was working in the Eternal Night Tavern, but selected one of her female ghost roommates.

The other bedroom next door is Ruili's room, where Ye He and Ruili had exercised.

But Ruili's female ghost roommate...

Through Caesar, Ye He had seen a human woman sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom.

Yes, the white linear energy lines turned her back into a human!
"Crack..."

Some blue electric lights were dancing between the hair of the woman who had turned back into a human.

What’s interesting is that the electricity in her body is not the special energy of Catalina, but a kind of violent electricity that is very close to the natural thunder in nature.

This kind of lightning should be extremely violent and destructive, but the sleeping woman was not burned to death by it. On the contrary, she was living in harmony with the electricity...

It's like a human keeping a tiger as a pet.

Tigers can still be ferocious, and humans can still be kind and harmless, and the two can still live in harmony.

Natural lightning...destruction...

Ye He roughly understood that those white energy lines were probably a special awakening energy that was integrated with the "destructive side" of nature.

Can it allow the chosen one to awaken a kind of power representing natural disasters of nature, such as lightning, storms, volcanic eruptions, etc.?

"Whoosh!"

A flash of lightning suddenly burst out from the woman's raised fingertips and pierced through the door panel in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, thanks to the dual protection of Caesar and his self-rescue instinct, Ye He successfully turned his head away and was not pierced by the lightning.
