The Dimensional Book of Collapse

So Loki chose to let them witness it with their own eyes, while Aisi simply... wanted to come on her own.

Chapter 131 The Life of a Heretic

Ai Si was sitting on the stone steps, holding a fruit from the dungeon in one hand and a wooden cup in the other, not knowing what she was thinking.

The strange-looking heretics around her stretched out the cups in their hands or on their tongues and clinked glasses with her while she lay motionless. Looking at the lively scene around her, Ais felt that this person was no different from the adventurers who were having a feast in Orario.

"Have you always lived in the dungeon like this?"

Livilia looked at Ais who looked incredulous, then asked Reid.

"Yes, after all, we were born in this underground city. Although we long for the surface, we have never seen it once."

Reed put his arms on the wall and said, "But I seem to have had a similar dream before."

"Dream?"

"Ah."

Reed's lizard face showed some reminiscence: "I dreamed that the fiery red light sank behind the huge rock. The sky that didn't exist here was dyed red, as if it was crying."

"This is talking about dusk, right? Have you ever been to the earth?"

Reed shook his head: "I don't remember ever being there. Maybe I saw it when I was alive last time, but it has always remained in my memory."

Livilia was silent. She had heard Qin Mo's reincarnation theory about the dungeon, but at that time she was only half-believing and half-doubting. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to believe it.

Livilia looked at Nana who was sitting below. This little heretic girl brought by Hestia's family was happily sharing her experiences with her fellow tribesmen.

Several other girls, including Ais, were pulled by other enthusiastic heretics to dance around the campfire. A heretic named Rei sang beautifully beside the campfire.

What’s the difference between the heretics who are toasting each other around and the gods on the ground?

Only Qin Molivillia and Reed, representatives of the three forces, were sitting in the corner talking.

Just as Livilia was thinking, a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female came from behind them.

"It seems that the development of the situation is better than I expected."

Reed heard a familiar voice shouting to the back: "Fiers, you're here."

A figure in a black robe came from behind and sat between the three people.

"This is Fels, the person who contacted us."

Confirming Reed's words, Fels nodded his head hidden in the black robe and said.

"It should be considered the first time we meet. I am Fels, the person in charge of liaison between Uranus and Heretic."

Fels stretched out his hand, and a round bead was clamped in the black bone of his hand, which was only left with bones.

"For the past seven days, I have been monitoring your interactions with the Dragon Girl, as well as the reactions of the Loki clan after they learned of this."

Qin Mo had already known that there was no change. Livilia raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything.

"Fells has spies all over the place, and they can use this to contact us."

Reed also took out a round bead.

"And the supplies we have in the underground city are all provided by Fels and Uranus. Fels is very powerful and was once called a sage."

"The sage... is he the sage who created the Philosopher's Stone and gained immortality?"

Fels showed no emotion in response to Livilia's words. He simply replied calmly, "The Sage is long gone. Now the only one left in the world is Fels the Fool."

Although he didn't go into detail, everyone could hear the sadness in his tone.

"How is it? Mage of Loki's family, what do you think after seeing it with your own eyes?"

Livilia was not surprised by what Fels said. Since the other party said that he had monitored them, it was normal for him to know what she had said to other people in the clan.

"Since they were born in the underground city and have their own way of survival, why should we interfere? As long as they avoid humans, there will be no problem for them to survive like this."

Livilia still didn't understand, but Fels also explained it.

"We still don't know how heretics were born, but there is no doubt that they all have strong aspirations. Although the emotions hidden in their hearts are different, they all have a common desire to communicate with humans or to go to the ground. Perhaps this is what makes them different from other monsters."

As if to confirm what Fels said, Reed closed his eyes and recalled.

“I want to see that sunset again.”

Rey said, "I want to fly in a world illuminated by light. My wings cannot embrace anyone, so I hope to be embraced by my lover."

"I know that we live in the shadows. We are not popular with anyone. Both humans and monsters reject us. Sometimes we wonder if this is the place our mother prepared for us."

"We were attacked by our own kind and were in constant danger of losing our lives, but at the same time, our Labyrinth Mother allowed us to exist."

Reed looked at the adventurers around him who had fallen silent because of their words.

"So, I'm really happy to meet you guys, Xiao Qin Mo."

Reed scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly: "Of course, it's not that I need your help, but it's great to see people who can recognize our existence... It's great to meet you."

Although he had a lizard face, anyone could tell that the heretic in front of him was smiling sincerely.

……

Those who left the team could not stay away for too long. After some chatting and a banquet, the time for the end finally came.

Other heretics also set out to leave.

"Thank you so much for today, it's nice to meet you."

The two leaders, Rey and Reed, stayed behind and said their final farewell.

Reed took out a magic stone: "You know what this is."

"Magic Stone."

Reed nodded and swallowed the magic stone whole.

"As you can see, there are monsters constantly attacking us in the dungeon, and we will kill those monsters to survive, and then devour the magic stones like this to gain the power of the enhanced species. So if you don't show mercy to the monsters because of our existence, if you hesitate, you may be the one to die."

Reed's words were cruel but true, and no one refuted them.

"that."

Aisi, who had not spoken to Reed, suddenly took a step forward.

"If your companions died, would you shed tears?"

Aisi's words silenced everyone.

After a few seconds, Reid finally made a sound of affirmation.

"Oh, of course. But I won't just shed tears. I will also avenge them. Just thinking about this possibility makes me feel so angry that I can't calm down."

……

Chapter 132 Entering the Deep Again

Ai Si's final question, without knowing what her real intention was.

But the good news is that Livilia acknowledges the existence of heretics. In her opinion, the threat posed by heretics to Orario is not even as great as the dark factions hidden deep in Orario. As the representative of Loki's family, Livilia also represents the attitude of Loki's family.

As for the Hestia family, Nana was taken away.

Although Nana didn't want to leave at all and Kiana was also very reluctant to leave, everyone had already told Kiana the pros and cons of this matter a few days ago.

So for Nana's future, Kiana chose to let go even though she was reluctant.

Of course, the result is...

"Are they both stimulated?"

Grace complained as he looked at the two people who were rushing in the front and killing the monsters with one sword as soon as they saw them.

Finn could only smile helplessly, he had already learned what happened from Livilia, so he could guess part of the reason.

Mei, however, is a little worried about Kiana.

"Is Kiana okay?"

"It's okay, I just need to vent. Don't worry, I'm here to watch."

Qin Mo watched Kiana venting and did not try to stop her. Kiana was the kind of person who liked to take things on her own and always left her smile to others, bringing vitality to others. Now that there was a chance for her to vent, he let her do it.

With this, the real purpose of the expedition was achieved.

But the expedition still has to continue. Apart from anything else, just for the fact that he finally "kidnapped" Qin Mo once and forced him to provide space assistance, Loki will squeeze him hard.

Every night, Finn would report the progress of the day's expedition to Loki through the passage that Qin Mo opened, and obtain a batch of supplies from the ground, and of course transport the harvest of the exploration to the ground.

Because Qin Mo was maintaining the passage on the side, Finn and Loki did not talk about many topics. Instead, they relayed the questions about the existence and attitude of the heretics in front of Qin Mo.

Perhaps they saw why Qin Mo cared about Yiduaner, so they talked directly in front of Qin Mo to give him peace of mind.

On the second day of the expedition, a group of LV4 members of Loki's clan, together with the three members of the Big Three, defeated the newly refreshed Amphibina.

However, compared to the last time the Big Three challenged them, this time the Big Three did not reveal any cards, but just cooperated with others to kill them.

During this period, Qin Mo also asked Fu Hua to specifically instruct others on combat issues, and took the adventurers of Loki's clan to hunt monsters for a while.

In this case, when they return, their numerical growth will be much higher than before.

Qin Mo also worked hard to appease Loki.

On the fifth night of the expedition, the expeditionary force had already reached the 50th floor, which was much faster than before. So the marching speed was very fast without any "burdens".

Of course, with Qin Mo's current strength, if he goes at full speed, he can reach the 50th floor in one day. He is no longer the same as when he first came to the deep layer.

The next plan is to raid the 58th floor, because the attack range of the cannon dragon on the 58th floor can reach all the way to the 52nd floor, so it is impossible to stay between the 52nd and 58th floors.

So everyone decided to rest for a day before going.

But before that...

"Are you all going to the fifty-eighth floor together?"

Finn checked with everyone the day before leaving.

"Of course! It's only the fifty-eighth floor. I already..."

Before Kiana could finish her words, Mei covered her mouth. Mei smiled awkwardly at Finn: "Finn... Sir, don't worry, we still have the strength."

Obviously, they were not used to calling Finn, who looked like a child, "Sir", not to mention that Qin Mo had told them privately that Finn was actually in his forties.

Hearing that Kiana almost revealed that they had been here, Qin Mo was helpless and changed the subject and said, "Finn, you don't have to worry about us. I know the strength of my team members."

"Well, since you've said that, I won't say much."

Finn looked at his team again and said, "If that's the case, then it wouldn't be a good idea for only a few of us LV4s to stay behind. Let's just go together."

Finn's original plan was for only those at LV5 and above to go down there, while Kiana and the others would stay behind with the LV4 members of Loki's family.

But at this time, the arrangement of Hestia's family broke his original idea.

Although it was a joint expedition, he couldn't interfere with the arrangements of other clans and could only change the arrangements temporarily.

After a night's rest, the group regained enough energy and began exploring the floors below the 50th.

At the entrance to the 52nd floor, Finn was about to let the ferocious wolf Bert lead the way, when Qin Mo stood up and said.

"Let Fu Hua from our clan lead the way this time."

Qin Mo stepped forward and said, and Fu Hua also stepped forward. Qin Mo's decision to let Fu Hua lead the way was not a sudden decision, so he had already greeted Fu Hua last night.

"Ah!? Let her come? Don't think that just because you defeated me last time, you can lead the way. It's not enough to just run."

Bert, who had not communicated with them all the way, seemed to be unable to help himself because his mission was snatched away.

"Bert!"

Finn was very sensible and called Burt over. Although the other party still looked indignant, he didn't say anything for the time being.

"Qin Mo, leading the way requires a strong intuition. Otherwise, you won't be able to judge the attack of the Cannon Dragon, which will be very harmful to the team."

Finn said to Qin Mo. Qin Mo certainly knew this, but the difference was that Finn and Bert used the adventurer's experience and intuition to judge the location and time of the attack.

And Fu Hua...

She has the ability to see and hear!
