Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 415 Unlucky Anderson
In the thin gray mist that permeates the spirit world.

A bright red light descended before Lu Ze, transforming into a dignified old man.

The old man wore a diamond crown and a long, bright red robe. Unlike Lu Ze's blood-stained robe, his robe did not have a strong sense of bloodshed; instead, it appeared pure and clean.

As he approached, the strange creatures in the surrounding mist reacted. Many silently moved away, while the rest cast indifferent glances at them.

"meet again."

The old man spoke solemnly and earnestly.

One of the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm, the "Red Light" El Moria!

"Hello."

Lu Ze, wary, bowed to the other party.

The last time I saw him was to figure out how to use the mutated "Pain," and I used a ritual to bring it onto a paper doll. Now that Lu Ze has come to the spirit world, the "red light" has directly manifested in human form.

He felt a throbbing in his chest; it turned out Luna had burrowed deeper into his clothes, seemingly a little scared.

"Hello."

"Red Light" Al Moria returned the bow in kind, just as politely as before.

After straightening up, he looked at Lu Ze carefully.

"Your soul seems much heavier than when I last saw you."

"Red Light" said so.

Bearing the pain of tens of thousands of people, it's only natural that it becomes heavy-hearted.

"That was my own choice."

Lu Ze answered calmly.

After listening, "Red Light" did not express any opinion, but calmly waited for Lu Ze to continue speaking.

Lu Ze thought for a moment and then asked:
"I ended up here by accident. How do I get back to reality?"

According to "Spiritual Encounters," the spirit world and reality completely overlap, and everyone can receive revelation from the spirit world at any time. There is no distinction between up, down, left, or right here; information from the past, future, and present can all converge here, and normal logic and concepts cannot be verified here.

Staying here for too long is extremely dangerous. Due to the distortion of time and space, it is very easy to get completely lost and never be able to go back.

“You can use extraordinary abilities such as ‘travel’ and ‘spirit traversal,’ or you can use some extraordinary items,” El Moria replied. “If you don’t have those, you can also return through some special methods.”

Coincidentally, Mr. A, who was herding livestock in Luze, documented his "journey".

This ability is essentially achieved through the overlap between the spirit world and reality, as well as the distortion of distance by the spirit world.

Thank you for your answer.

Lu Ze nodded.

He then activated Mr. A's soul within him, causing that vile soul to scream in agony within his body, initiating the "journey" recorded by the recorder.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask "Red Light" one more question:

Do you know the origin of what makes me special?

As a highly special being in the spirit world, a symbol of pure knowledge, "Red Light" should know something. Moreover, given El Moria's status in the spirit world, the fact that he would specifically come to greet him shows that he values ​​him highly!

The dignified old man remained silent for a moment, as if he found it difficult to answer.

Finally, he slowly spoke:
“I sensed a lofty and great aura emanating from you, an aura whose source was more abstract and conceptual than that of the spirit world.”

ah? What's the meaning?
Lu Ze tried to understand the other person's words, desperately searching his mind for occult knowledge. The spirit world itself was mysterious enough, and he lacked any understanding of what the red light was actually saying. After saying this, "Red Light" El Moria bowed to him again, then transformed into a clear red light and flew away, giving Lu Ze no chance to ask any further questions.

Never mind, I'll look into it when I get back.
Lu Ze thought to himself.

The vibrant colors around him began to fade and recede, and the blurred outlines began to become clearer. At the same time, they seemed to be getting further and further away from Luze.

The warm sea breeze caressed my face, and the midday sun illuminated everything.

Lu Ze looked around and found himself on an island.

This small island is peaceful and serene, with sun-warmed beaches and lush, verdant trees. If it weren't for the extreme danger of the surrounding waters, it would be an ideal vacation spot.

It seems he is still in the sea area of ​​the God War Ruins, but there is no trace of the "Mysterious Queen" or the "King of the Black Sea" around him.

Damn, where am I now?
Lu Ze felt a headache coming on. He knew absolutely nothing about this place, and yet he had somehow gotten separated from the Queen, who could have given him directions.

There was also no way to contact the Queen.
I wonder how her battle with the King of Black Seat went.
Such thoughts kept surfacing in his mind.

After a moment, Lu Ze gradually came to realize a reality—he could no longer rely on the Queen's power for the time being.

What should I do? Should I use "travel" to return to Toscate and wait for the Queen to contact me again?
He instinctively looked down at the black cat in his arms and the black key that belonged to Roselle. He still had the key; the Queen would surely come back for him. However, it was also possible that the "King of the Black Throne" would return.

Just as he was hesitating about his next move, there was movement deep within the island.

"Swipe!"

It was a lithe figure, rushing towards them at top speed.

The figure grew larger and larger, allowing Lu Ze to see his appearance clearly.

This was a young man with short blond hair and emerald green eyes, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a black vest. His clothes were covered in dust, and his hair was somewhat disheveled, making him look rather disheveled.

Lu Ze watched him quietly, pulled out his revolver, and just as he was about to reach him, fired a shot into the sand in front of him.

"Friend, stop!"

The man's smile froze instantly, and he nimbly jumped to the side. "I mean no harm, I just want to ask for help!"

As he dodged the bullets, he raised his hands in a gesture of goodwill.

"who are you?"

Luze did not fire again, but still kept the gun pointed at him.

"Me? I'm hapless Anderson."

The blond young man sighed.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Ze continued to press for answers.

"I am a treasure hunter,"

The young man who called himself "Anderson" looked him over in his blood-red robes, lingered for a moment on the black cat in his arms, and then continued, "I came here to find treasure. But instead of finding treasure, I've only brought misfortune."

"doom?"

"Yes, after seeing a mural, I became very unlucky and started encountering all sorts of accidents. Um, how did you get here? Where are your ship and companions?"

After giving a brief answer, Anderson strained his eyes to look at the sea behind Luzer, seemingly trying to find traces of the ship.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
