Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 8 Us
Sasriel lowered his eyes and stared at the girl who was staring at him. Eve's eyes seemed to be glued to Sasriel, afraid of missing his every move.

She stared, stared, until Sasriel nodded under her gaze.

Eve closed her eyes tightly and raised her hands to rub her sore eyes. The tears from keeping her eyes open for so long blurred her vision, and Sasriel in front of her turned into a blurry black.

"Sasriel, are you really the other half of the Sun God? What is a half body? Why can I treat you as a fellow countryman? Why do you know all this? Did the Sun God tell you? What is an angel? Why did we travel through time..." After Eve put down her hand, she immediately turned into "One Hundred Thousand Whys", and questions rushed out like bullets.

"Ask them one by one, Miss Eve." Sasriel waved his hand helplessly and said, "I don't know which one to answer first."

"Eve," Eve patted her chest and said with a hearty smile, "Just call me Eve."

"And..." The girl looked around cautiously, covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered in Sasriel's ear: "Actually, I don't like people calling me Miss."

A flash of understanding flashed across Sasriel's eyes, and he called out in agreement, "Eve."

"Most of your questions are basic knowledge. We'll be at your residence in five minutes, and Miss Elizabeth will be waiting there. So, let me answer some cryptic questions that you can understand. Let's talk about the half-body first, as you should be very curious about it."

"Teacher Saslier, I have a question," Eve said, raising her hand.

Sasriel chuckled, nodded in agreement, and said, "Mr. Eve, please go ahead."

"Why don't you talk about time travel first?" Eve said expectantly, "Can you talk about time travel first? It doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Sasriel stared at Eve with his deep eyes and said, "Your own truth is more trustworthy."

The girl stared at Sasriel in a daze. He was still as gentle and kind as before, but she felt that Sasriel was a little strange now. Eve raised her eyes, which seemed to be covered by a shadow, but her gaze still could not penetrate the shadow.

"Yeah." Eve said mechanically.

"Half body, you can simply understand it as a clone, although there are some differences," Sasriel's steady voice came, and the teacher had already begun his teaching. "I was made by the Lord from his own rib."

"Clone? But you seem to have your own consciousness. Can the Sun God take you back?" Eve listened and asked questions like a good and obedient student, and the relationship between teacher and student was harmonious.

"Yes, I have my own consciousness. A clone can also have self-awareness. For example, a thief's clone has its own consciousness but is still essentially one person.

The Lord can reclaim me. As long as He needs me, He will reclaim me."

"If it's recycled..." Eve murmured, "then it won't exist anymore, right?"

Saslier nodded.

"Isn't this just... killing you?" Eve was a little surprised. In her opinion, Sasiel had his own consciousness and was a living person. He was not at all like the ancient sun god. Even though she knew that he was the incarnation of the ancient sun god, she could not regard Sasiel as part of another person.

Sasriel is clearly a complete, independent, conscious being.

But He shook His head. "I am the Lord's half, the Lord's rib, a part of the Lord. How can you say that you killed me? Returning to the Lord is my inevitable destiny. It's just a return to the beginning." "You..." Eve stared at Sasriel blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. "Aren't you unwilling to accept this?"

It was as if a breeze blew away the murmurs, preventing them from reaching anyone else's ears.

Sasriel did not respond, and Eve did not need him to respond, she already knew the answer.

They turned the page lightly as if nothing had happened.

"Angels are beings of Sequence Two and above, below True Gods. They're more commonly called Sub-Gods. Sequences are the upgrade system of this world. You should understand. From low to high, it's Sequence Nine to Sequence Zero."

Eve, with her countless online writing and gaming experiences, understood easily, "So, what's my sequence number?"

"Sequence Three," Sasriel replied, "I observed you before you entered the city. Judging from the Beyonder ability you used, it's Sequence Three."

"From the perspective of extraordinary abilities? Can't Sasriel directly sense my level?" Eve asked curiously.

Sasriel shook his head and said, "I can sense your status. You're a demigod, or Sequence 4, not yet an angel. However, there are many ways to learn your specific path and sequence, such as divination."

Eve touched her chin. This was different from the novels she read in her previous life.

"The name of angel hasn't become popular yet, right? Why not?" Eve asked. Since she came to the city, she has heard a lot of praises about the ancient sun god and read the Bible several times, but she has never heard of angels.

"Now, only the Lord and I call them angels. He came up with it on a whim a while ago. The Lord plans to popularize this term after liberating all of humanity. After all, the entire sequence was created by Him, so He can call them whatever He wants."

"Wait," Eve's voice suddenly rose, "The entire upgrade system was created by Him!" This is too awesome!
"That's not the case," Sasriel said, waving his hand as he looked at Eve, who was gaping in astonishment. "Most of this information was obtained from the Profane Slate, and the rest was researched by the Lord, but the names were all given by the Lord."

"Desecrating the slate?" Eve asked with shining eyes and curiosity written all over her face.

"The Blasphemous Tablet is a relic of God," Saslir replied.

Holy shit, there really is a God in this world! His business is so extensive, it's even expanded to another world.

Sasriel glanced at Eve, who looked shocked, and said with a sigh, his tone full of longing and expectation. This was the first time Eve had seen Sasriel's emotions so openly expressed, "If this succeeds, then in the future, few people will know about God, and everyone will know the name of the angel.

This is not just the passing of "from God," but also the passing of this bloody and cruel era." Sasriel restrained the smile on his face and looked seriously into the distance, as if looking at a distant and beautiful future.

As if infected, Eve stood up straight, revealed a serious expression, and said earnestly and sincerely: "You will definitely succeed!"

"No," Sasriel stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Eve twice. "It's us. You were on the pirate ship from the moment you entered the city."

"We?" Eve was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "We."
