The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Just like the title says, I turned on my computer after get off work today and found it was unresponsive. After two hours of troubleshooting, I helplessly realized the fact that the power supply was burned out or even worse. It happened to be raining tonight, so I couldn't go out to find a repair shop to fix it. The sad thing now is that my novel updates recently rely on saved manuscripts, and I don't have cloud archives, which results in no way to update it. The more dramatic thing is that I just logged into the author's backend with my mobile phone and found that Hedgehog Cat just recommended a long article for me, which made me feel even more guilty. Alas, this computer broke down at such a great time, which caused many problems. I will send it for repair tomorrow during the day, and I will make up for today's share as soon as the computer is repaired tomorrow. I'm really sorry.

Chapter 122 Misunderstanding

"Now Nana's situation is not only known to us, so I have to go visit those people. Before things get out of hand, you should stay at home with the child. I won't have dinner at home."

Qin Mo returned to the room, took out his coat, put it on, and said to the others in the living room.

"But before that, there is something I need to take care of."

Qin Mo approached Nana, who was leaning against Kiana, and spoke softly to her.

"Give me your hand."

Perhaps because she was unfamiliar with the place, Nana looked at Qin Mo with some fear, then shrank back to Kiana's side, looked at Kiana, and only stretched out her hands to Qin Mo after seeing Kiana nod.

"Don't move yet."

On the girl's hands, the blue nails were sharp and claw-like, even longer than her slender fingers.

Qin Mo grabbed Nana's left hand, and the silhouette of the Stairway to Heaven appeared behind him.

The hand with the image of Killer Queen touched Nana's nails.

With the blessing of the precision that Qin Mo had accumulated to level B, everyone watched as some marks of fire burns appeared on Nana's nails, and then slowly disappeared, turning into a wisp of green smoke. Soon, the nails that were originally longer than her fingers became like those of ordinary people, with only a small part of the nails protruding from the fingers left.

After projecting a file and smoothing out the remaining rough nails, Qin Mo dispersed the projection in his hand.

"Okay, although Nana has no intention of hurting anyone, there is still a risk. Now it's okay."

Qin Mo stood up and rubbed Nana's head hard, then said to the others.

"Is it dangerous? Do you need me to go with you?"

Fu Hua took the initiative to stand up.

"No, no, or it would be more convenient for me to be alone."

Qin Mo waved his hand and walked out the door: "Don't wait for me tonight."

The fastest way for Qin Mo to go out is to use the ability of "A World Away", but he did not use this ability this time. On the one hand, it was because he was not going to the dungeon, but to Loki's clan. On the other hand, someone might be watching him.

Qin Mo remembered that in the original book, when Bell picked up the dragon girl, the lich Fels beside Uranus knew about it, and began to monitor and investigate Hestia's family, observing Hestia's family's attitude towards heretics.

Although Qin Mo knew that they basically would not leak secrets everywhere, it was still necessary to keep some secrets.

Arriving at the Twilight Pavilion, Qin Mo said to the gatekeeper of the Twilight Pavilion: "I'm here to look for Lefiya."

Although he has been here many times and the people here know him, he still needs to go through the necessary procedures.

"Hold on."

A guard ran in to report and soon returned to the door and said something to Qin Mo that made him feel a little tired.

"Lord God wants you to go to the meeting room. Please follow me."

After hearing this, Qin Mo knew that Lefiya had already told others about this matter, and Loki already knew about it.

But Loki is a smart man...oh, a smart god. She knows very well what cannot be said. She just hopes that Lefiya and Filweiss will reveal less before they are stopped again.

He followed the guard to the conference room. After the other party opened the door, he nodded to Qin Mo and left.

Watching the guards leave, Qin Mo walked into the meeting room. At this time, there were already five people and gods sitting in the meeting room. Loki sat in the middle, and on his right were Livilia and Finn.

Ais and Lefiya sat on the right.

The chair opposite them was empty, and it was obvious that it was prepared for Qin Mo.

"Ah~ I thought it would be the dwarf who brought people here, but it turns out you're the only one here?"

When Loki saw Qin Mo close the door and sit down opposite him, he slightly opened his eyes which had been squinting.

"Does that mean you are responsible for this?"

Although he did not activate his divine power, Qin Mo was worthy of being a god who played tricks. An invisible sense of oppression descended on him.

Although Qin Mo himself is just a teenager and does not have any deep scheming, his confidence in his own strength makes Loki's initial momentum ineffective by 80%.

"There's no question of being irresponsible. After all, I didn't do this."

"Oh? Who did that?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Qin Mo stretched out his hand and tapped on the table, indicating the area below: "Maze."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, he saw the eyes on the other side, which had just opened slightly, suddenly opened wide and stared at Qin Mo.

"I didn't expect you to admit it so directly?"

Qin Mo frowned as he looked at Loki's reaction. Was it because he admitted that he knew some of the secrets within the maze?

"You can't lie in front of the gods. Even if you deny it, it's no different from admitting it."

"You seem very confident. Why did you come to the Twilight Pavilion alone?"

Qin Mo always felt like he had missed something, but after thinking carefully he couldn't figure it out, so he had to answer directly.

"Of course I hope Lefiya can keep this secret, but now it seems that Lefiya is not the only one who knows the secret."

"Keep it a secret..."

Qin Mo looked at Loki's words and said, "Lord Loki should understand that if this matter is exposed, it will cause a great panic in Orario. Not only us, but also the guild itself will be questioned and attacked by all the adventurers in Orario. Those dark factions lurking in the shadows will also take advantage of the situation."

"Are you saying that you are not from the Dark Faction?"

Qin Mo was a little confused about Loki's question.

"Of course not, why do you think we are?"

Qin Mo thought about it and suddenly realized. Qin Mo remembered that in the original work, there was an Ikelos clan who was doing poaching. Although he was absent-minded when watching the third season and had no idea why poaching monsters were defined as the dark faction that disturbed Orario, Qin Mo guessed that the other party should have some follow-up plans. It's just that the subsequent perspective in the anime is placed on Heretic and Bell, so there is no clear explanation.

And now Loki thought he was in the same group with them?

Qin Mo understood in his heart, but Loki's next words made Qin Mo completely confused.

"If that's not the case, then why are you cooperating with Maze? Also, you guys shouldn't be the only ones doing this."

"Huh? Cooperate with Maze? What does that mean?"

Qin Mo's confused reaction also deflated Loki's originally brewing momentum: "Ah?"

Chapter 123: Consensus with Loki

The dark faction's expedition is Orario's eternal pain. Even though that dark era has passed, the chaotic gods who are unwilling to be lonely always want to stir up something.

And now, the dark faction that was originally full of demons has not disappeared, but has hidden itself.

Just like the Black Forest, no one knows who is a friend and who is an enemy.

Of course, Loki didn't want to be Hestia's enemy.

Although the two have been competing with each other, they are actually quite optimistic about each other.

But the upgrade speed of Hestia's family is really abnormal. You know, even it took Ais a whole year to reach level 2. Look at the people in Hestia's family.

After three months, what is the current level of the first batch of members who joined?

One LV6, one LV5, one LV4, and three LV3 adventurers.

Look, this is something a human can do! ?

If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but the point is, all of them are like this.

In fact, it’s no wonder Loki thinks this way. After all, who would have thought that there are people who have the skills to speed up their growth, and it’s a group at that!

In the previous month's adventure, everyone in Hestia's family, except Haruhime, has been upgraded, and Mei has even upgraded two levels with the skill of double accelerated growth.

You know, in Orario, no one has ever heard of anyone having the ability to speed up their growth.

So Loki's first reaction was that Hestia cheated by using her divine power.

But Uranus did not issue a warning, which means that the possibility is very low, so the biggest possibility is... that an illegal experiment was conducted.

In addition to the maze Qin Mo mentioned before, the talking monsters encountered in the dungeon, and the monsters who attacked Loki's family in the dungeon, Loki suspected that the people of Hestia's family had upgraded their levels through transformation experiments.

The result... was a big misunderstanding.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that after talking for so long, we're not talking about the same thing."

The two sides soon realized that the two were talking about different things. Loki laughed a few times and said, "Then why did your Hestia family level up so quickly? It's normal to be suspected for this reason."

Qin Mo also smiled bitterly: "Although this is considered a violation, I will still tell you in order to clear my suspicion. I believe Lord Loki will keep it a secret."

Loki looked at the four people on both sides and said, "Of course, if it is not for the purpose of destroying Orario, we will keep it secret, and so will the members of our clan."

The four people around him also nodded.

"Then I said, the reason why we level up so quickly is because we have a rare skill that can accelerate the growth of the team."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, Loki slammed the table and stood up.

She was able to tell lies, so she knew that Qin Mo was not lying. And if she followed what Qin Mo said...

"Yeah~ I think the relationship between our two clans should be pretty good. We can cooperate again on the next expedition and have a joint expedition."

The people around were speechless when they saw Loki's sudden change of attitude.

"We can discuss the expedition later, but for now let's talk about the talking monster first."

Loki's expression changed again, and he said, "Since you said you have nothing to do with those guys, that means the talking monster you mentioned has nothing to do with the weird monsters you encountered in the dungeon?"

Qin Mo finally understood at this point that Loki had confused heresy with other things.

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, I'd better say it directly to prevent any misunderstanding."

Qin Mo saw that the other party had no intention of interrupting him and continued, "A monster that can talk is called a heretic. The so-called heretic is actually caused by a mistake in the dungeon."

"Just like humans have reincarnation souls, monsters also have souls, but their souls are controlled by the dungeon. After they die, their souls will be recycled by the dungeon and put into new monsters. In this continuous reincarnation and accumulation, some individuals will develop their own wisdom and be born. This is what is called heresy."

"They have intelligence similar to that of humans, but their bodies are still monsters. And because they are the fault of the dungeon, they will be hunted down by the monsters in the dungeon, and many adventurers will also hunt them down. They don't attack humans based on instinct like ordinary monsters. They have reason and language, and they are eager to communicate with intelligent races. In my opinion, they are no different from other races on the ground. When they gain a heart, they are no longer monsters."

Qin Mo looked at Loki and said, "Of course, this is just my personal prejudice."

"This is the heretic. The flying dragon girl that Lefiya met in the dungeon is a new heretic. Although she is a monster, she has a pure heart. So we don't want to kill an innocent girl, and we won't let others do so. But her birth is unacceptable to people on the ground. So I think Lord Loki should understand that if the heretic's affairs are exposed, not only some of the clans, but even the guild itself..."

Loki continued Qin Mo's words in a low voice: "Your authority will also be questioned."

"How did you know about this?"

Loki looked at Qin Mo, but Qin Mo just smiled: "This is a secret."

Gods can see through lies but cannot read minds. Qin Mo said directly and frankly that if I don’t tell anyone, the other party will have no way to deal with it.

But who is Loki? The God of Trickery! She has dozens of ways to make Qin Mo speak.

But Qin Mo did have a solution. When he came again, he had already thought of a way to divert the trouble away.

"I once met a fish person in a dungeon. She was a heretic. I once accepted her help."

This is the truth, but also a lie. Qin Mo quietly used a language loophole to cover up the fact that he was lying.

Loki asked him how he knew about the heretic. If he answered this question, it would be a complete lie, because he knew it from watching anime in his previous life.

But he replied, secret.

What he said later about the merman Marie was not an answer to Loki's question, but a statement of his own experience, which was real, so it would not trigger the gods' lie alarm.

But who is Loki? Even without the power of the gods, he can see through other people's lies, so he understood Qin Mo's little thoughts at the first time, but the next sentence made her give up the plan to expose Qin Mo.

"If you want to know the details of this matter, you can go visit Lord Uranus. He knows about this matter and has known about it a long time ago. He even secretly funded the heretics."

Compared to the little Qin Mo, Uranus was obviously a greater threat, and Loki made a judgment in an instant.

"Well, we will ask Uranus. Before we know the truth, we will ask the insiders in the family to keep it a secret."

Loki was about to say something, but Qin Mo spoke again, "There is one more thing. Lefiya's friend Fierweisi also knows about this, but I am not familiar with her or her main god. Lord Loki, do you know them? If we are slow, the other party might spread this matter, and then it will be troublesome."

"We'll take care of Dionysus, don't worry. But on the other hand, you have to keep an eye on the little girl flying dragon. If she is discovered, we will not be responsible."
