Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 14 Mr. Ron, I'm here to save you!

Yes, that's right. As long as I get her to open her eyes, I can corrupt her instantly!

Based on the trust we had before, this could be accomplished very easily.

Once I obtain that authority, this body will belong to me; it will no longer be merely a will, but a true resurrection!

That's right, that's it. As long as I deceive her, I can make those two bastards inside me submit to my will!

This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!

Ron's cold eyes fell on Hazel, who was on the verge of losing control. Without further hesitation, he quickly called out her name.

"Hayor!"

A suppressed, painful sound came, miraculously reaching Hazel's ears, just enough for her to hear despite her plugged ears.

"Mr. Ron, may I open my eyes now?"

The girl's weak but trusting voice rang out, echoing in Ron's mind and heart.

"Get out of here!"

He unconsciously growled out. Ron didn't know why he changed the words that were stuck in his throat, but he had instinctively shouted them out just now.

You weak insects are not worthy to be my servant, Ron Sothos!

He kept searching for reasons in his mind, trying to regain his composure and calm the unknown emotions surging through his mind.

"Mr. Ron, are you alright?!"

"You seem to be in a lot of pain. Are you injured?"

Hearing her friend's painful cries echoing in her ears, Hazel began to feel worried.

She never expected her teacher to be so powerful, actually managing to injure the knowledgeable Mr. Ron.

"Get out of here, don't make me do it a third time!!!"

"Mr. Ron, I... I can help you. You are my friend, and I can't abandon you."

The girl mustered her courage and suppressed the terrifying memories that had haunted her; she couldn't bear to see Mr. Ron alone in this predicament.

Because Ron saved her life, and because running away would make her despise herself.

"Oh, a friend?"

A mocking laugh rang out, sending a bad feeling through Hazel's heart.

"Hahaha, you actually consider yourself my friend? How can someone as stupid as you exist?"

"Think about it carefully. We've only known each other for less than an hour. How can we become friends?!"

"All the good impression I made on you was fabricated by my extraordinary abilities, and you actually believed it!?"

"How could a weak insect like you become my friend!?"

"Your role is simply to serve as a tool, a signpost!"

"However, I still want to thank you for bringing me here. Now that you're a tool that's no longer of any use, you should scramble away from here instead of discussing whether we're friends or not!"

"Think about it, do you even deserve to be my friend?"

"You are so weak, weaker than an infant even in the realm of the extraordinary, what makes you think you can be my friend!"

The sharp, piercing words instantly shattered Hazel's mental defenses. Her mind went blank, and at that moment she finally realized that something seemed amiss.

How could a stranger who had only known her for an hour occupy such a large place in her heart?

This is illogical and inconsistent with her personality!

Heaving gasps and piercing screams filled the sewer with terror. Hazel kicked her legs and scrambled to her feet. It was as if she had just woken up from a dream and was finally back in reality.

This eerie sense of dread made her lose her mind; all she wanted was to escape this place, this dirty, cold sewer, and get to what she considered a safe place.

Hearing the screams growing fainter and the sound of metal manhole covers opening and closing, Ron, who was fighting against the Celestial and the Primal Will with all his might, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That troublesome guy is finally gone!"

He stopped suppressing himself, and his entire body began to expand, transforming into layers of spheres radiating endless light.

On the sphere, slippery tentacles and hard, gray scales appeared.

These three elements constantly erode each other, causing the life in this sewer to mutate and turn into strange, twisted monsters.

Just then, the sound of undisguised footsteps came from afar.

"I never expected you to make such a choice."

The newcomer was dressed in a simple white robe, with a light gold beard that covered the lower half of his face. He had clear, innocent eyes like a baby, and a cross pendant hung on his chest, looking like the most ordinary priest.

"You led us here!?"

"Yuan Chu was truly a useless piece of trash; he actually managed to outmaneuver his own authority!"

Sensing the simply dressed priest in front of him, Ron understood everything in that instant.

"Actually, it wasn't a scheme. It was more of a coincidence that led you here. I wasn't involved much."

"Heh... So this gives you the illusion that we're easy to deal with!?"

"No, there are many, quicker ways to deal with you, and that's not the purpose I came here with."

"So what do you want to do? Come and laugh at me!?"

Looking at the simple priest in front of him, Ron felt a surge of anger. He had been seen letting the little bug go, which was a huge blow to his reputation as a pillar of the state.

"Mr. Ron, may I call you that?"

"Actually, your ideas are quite unique, completely unlike those cold and crazy Outer Gods."

"The path I'm on tells me that these things aren't a disguise, but something that truly exists."

"You seem to be searching for or recovering something?"

"This is none of your business!!!"

"What exactly are you trying to say!?"

"Let's make a deal, Mr. Ron."

……

"Fake, fake, it's all fake!"

By this time, Hazel had returned to her bedroom, where she nestled in bed, wrapped tightly in her blankets in the sweltering summer heat.

It's as if only by covering myself up can I feel that long-lost sense of security.

She trembled violently, feeling weak, pitiful, and helpless, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes, her mind replaying Ron's mocking words.

Those words were so sharp they pierced her soul, so terrifying they made her tremble uncontrollably.

A gentle breeze blew through the closed doors and windows, the cool sensation easing the girl's anxiety, calming her chaotic thoughts, and gradually dispelling her overwhelming fear.

After about ten minutes, Hazel gradually calmed down.

She stopped trembling with fear, and the signs of losing control in her body and the babbling in her mind disappeared, as if she had received treatment from the best psychologist.

The improvement in her condition made the girl feel relaxed all over, and her thoughts gradually became clearer.

She kept recalling the moments she had spent with Ron; the feeling of closeness both frightened her and made her yearn for someone like him to exist.

At that moment, the scenes in her memory stopped, stopping at the thin tissue falling from mid-air and Mr. Ron's words telling her to leave.

This……

"Is Mr. Ron deliberately urging me to leave? Is it dangerous there?"

The calm young woman noticed something amiss: if Mr. Ron was really using me, why was he urging me to leave?

She hesitated again and again, somewhat afraid to go and confirm the situation, afraid that it was all just her own delusion, afraid that she was still being influenced by that strange feeling of affection.

"No matter what, Mr. Ron saved my life..."

Hazel bit her lip, clenched her fist and then relaxed it, relaxed her hand and then clenched it again, as if two little people were splitting up inside her.

One of them was urging her to rescue Mr. Ron, who was in trouble, because he had saved her life and she couldn't just leave him to fend for himself.

The other person was advising her not to go, telling her to stay in this safe place, and constantly reminding her in her mind that the strange feeling of affection was abnormal!

Time passed quietly, and the girl suddenly threw off the covers, as if she had made up her mind to get up again.

She's going back into the sewers to rescue Mr. Ron, who's in trouble!

Because her pride wouldn't allow her to escape alone, she considered herself the most composed and capable among her peers.

How could she abandon her savior, even if that savior was using her!

This time, the girl did not rush in rashly. Instead, she first sneaked into her father's study and took out a high-powered military-grade repeating rifle from a hidden compartment.

As a retired officer from East Byron, it's perfectly normal for him to keep some small treasures at home in case of emergencies; in fact, most officers in the Kingdom of Rune share this common habit.

The girl picked up the gun, believing she was fully prepared.

"Mr. Ron, hold on, I'm coming to save you!"
