Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

The ritual of the transformation of the formless child—returned to Abhos.

To abandon the entire body, both spirit and flesh, and to infuse the soul with blood filled with despair and malice.

Offering oneself in the mysticism, one journeys on the soul's path to the far north and beholds the great Abhoth.

And in the endless propagation and transformation of that Outer God, they abandoned their own souls and devoted themselves to the body of the great Outer God.

Thus, in the return to Abhos, they were formally transformed into the offspring of Abhos, the unseen children.

As Bai Xi explained, Jiang Lingyi gradually fell silent.

The Child of No Form—of course she was familiar with that. In fact, she was intimately familiar with it.

Abhoth's prolific offspring are among the lowest tier of Outer God offspring, but their sheer number is undeniable!

But now, the two were stunned to discover that old Mansfield had completely lost his mind, slapped his forehead, and performed a ritual by slapping the bottom of his own coffin...

This guy wants to turn himself into an invisible being!

"Now I understand how this guy became a heretic. What's the difference between this and jumping two tigers across Seraphine's face?"

Bai Xi said with a helpless sigh.

That's utter nonsense. To Serpes, who symbolizes hope, Abhoth, who symbolizes all despair, is a mortal enemy!

The believers on both sides would fight each other as soon as they met!

If you, as a follower of the Serpes, dare to do this, and the Serpes Order comes to ransack your home, it's because the Order has taken the wrong medicine today, which is why their methods are so mild.

"So what do we do next? How do we stop this ritual?"

Jiang Lingyi rubbed her numb face and asked Bai Xi, but saw Bai Xi shake his head.

"No need for that. Just leave it alone and bury it back."

As Bai Xi spoke, he lifted the coffin lid, thought for a moment, and then pointed to the secret ritual objects on the coffin:

"Look at this, these lines are drawn wrong. Old Mansfield's quality control is a mess, he drew the occult instrument wrong."

"This thing can't protect his soul to the end of the world at all. He'll get stuck in the spider god's web halfway there, let alone see Abhos."

Bai Xi was speechless when he said this.

I've seen plenty of cult members doing this kind of shoddy work, but this is the first time I've seen one who failed at it.

But when Bai Xi came to her senses, she saw Jiang Lingyi looking at her with a look of utter disbelief.

You're having a blast with this game, but I have to ask you, little bro, what happened?

【I'm calling the police! This stuff isn't even in Chaos's rulebook! Where the hell did you find this out?!】

When asked about the dog KP, Baek Hee casually and nonchalantly replied:

"During the day, Seraphine appeared in my dream with some tales of the past. Do you have a problem with that? Or do you want me to tell you the tales of the Spider God and Abhoth playing bondage?"

【A dream? That's invincible! Can I give you some inspiration? If it works, you'll see Serpes in her true form directly, like in SC1D10/1D100】

"Goodbye!"

Bai Xi clasped his hands in a fist salute, righteously and definitively brushing aside the topic. Jiang Lingyi looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Finally, he let out a soft sigh.

Oh well, let him be.

Jiang Lingyi thought to herself, then opened the mission interface and let out a soft exclamation.

"Is the secret still not finished?"

Jiang Lingyi frowned and shared the panel with Bai Xi. Bai Xi was slightly taken aback.

The two secrets on the panel remained unchanged, without even being touched.

Even the investigation into the secrets of the "blasphemous work" shows no signs of completion.

In an instant, Bai Xi felt a headache coming on.

You mean, old Mansfield almost turned himself into the Invisible Child, and it still doesn't count as a blasphemous work?

Logically speaking, it's unlikely, so there's only one possibility left.

The true blasphemous works are something else entirely.

Within this module, there are clues that they are completely unaware of.

Bai Xi muttered something, then couldn't help but complain:

"But with Nyarlathotep and Abhoth as the successors, each a god-like figure, how come there are still so many clues?"

I'm going to appeal! Are you sure this thing is a Shoggoth-level module?

"Now that things have come to this, we can only continue the investigation, right?"

Jiang Lingyi asked helplessly, and Bai Xi nodded and said to Jiang Lingyi:

"What are you planning to do next?"

Jiang Lingyi paused for a moment, which was uncommon, before answering Bai Xi:

"Actually, I roughly know what to do next. But it might sound a bit radical."

"Hmm, it's okay, go ahead and tell me."

Bai Xi shook his head, indicating that he could handle it. Then, he heard Jiang Lingyi's calm yet powerful words:

"I'm going to kill Natis."

At that moment, Bai Xi was stunned. He looked at Jiang Lingyi, whose expression was completely genuine, and even wondered if he was deaf and hallucinating.

"Who are you talking about?!"

"Nytis".

Jiang Lingyi said it as a matter of course.

Bai Xi's eyelids twitched:

"Are you kidding me?"

"You've known me for so long, when have I ever joked?"

Jiang Lingyi countered with a question.

Bai Xi scratched his head in frustration and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"But that's Nyarlathotep, right? I guess that's what you're thinking."

Jiang Ling leaned against the shovel, gazing at the night sky, her tone unexpectedly calm:

"But it's precisely because she's Nyarlathotep that we need to kill her."

For a moment, Bai Xi fell silent.

No one knew better than him that Jiang Lingyi was right at that moment.

If Nyarlathotep isn't killed, this group will forever live in a fog: how can they determine which actions Nyarlathotep did and which didn't?

Even proving oneself has become incredibly difficult.

"But how are you going to kill her? And what made you suddenly think of this?"

"I used Serpes's Divine Power."

Jiang Lingyi said calmly, "I don't think I need to say anything more about what happens next."

Bai Xi froze for a moment, but then heard Jiang Lingyi continue speaking to herself:

"Before digging up the grave, I first found a place to enter a dream and perform a ritual to communicate with the gods."

"After losing some sanity, I caught a glimpse of that person's phantom in the light and shadow of the dream world, and almost went crazy. But it turned out to be a good thing."

Jiang Lingyi shrugged as she finished speaking:

"I asked her what I should do next, and made a wish, asking for help."

"Tell me, if I am to achieve my goal, then the biggest destabilizing factor is Natis."

Bai Xi remained silent, gazing at Jiang Lingyi, whose upper body was shrouded in darkness, in the night.

"So Serapace is willing to help... never mind, I asked a pointless question."

Bai Xi stopped halfway through his sentence, a helpless expression on his face.

He almost forgot. That deity doesn't care whether the supplicant is a believer or not. If it's a prayer, then he will definitely respond.

It simply depends on whether the person making the request can handle such a huge gift.

Are you sure you can do it?

Bai Xi rubbed his temples and asked. Jiang Lingyi nodded gently:

"I can handle this on my own. Don't worry. But from now on, it'll be up to you to handle the main storyline."

"I'll do my best, but we don't have enough clues right now, and the clues about the blasphemous work have completely dried up..."

Bai Xi sighed, saying with a headache, but Jiang Lingyi stared at him for a long time before speaking softly:

"Then, Bai Xi, why don't you just try praying to Serpes too?"

For a moment, Bai Xi froze.

But under Jiang Lingyi's unwavering gaze, Bai Xi took a deep breath, stiffly inhaled the air, and finally let out a long sigh.

He lowered his head as if defeated by Jiang Lingyi.

"All right."

He whispered:

"I'll give it a try."
