Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Then I saw a pair of blue eyes...

Ok……

These don't seem to be my sister's light-colored eyes... He finally slowly realized what was happening and saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.

She had a beautiful face, giving people a gentle, tranquil, and peaceful feeling. Although she was just as pretty, she was clearly not the older sister.

Chen Ming stared at the other person, somewhat dumbfounded.

She was still holding onto a strand of the other person's hair, unwilling to let go.

The other person looked at him, their cheeks slightly flushed, and said—

"Mr. Chen Ming, are you awake?"

"You are……"

His brain finally began to function, and he slowly recognized who the person in front of him was, exclaiming in surprise—

"Miss Old?"

She was the girl I met in that dream.

No, was that a dream after all? The "Net of the Past" she gave him truly did end up in his hands, and he even used it to defeat Raphael and Michael; she was no ordinary person.

What exactly is going on...?

Oh, right, since Miss Urd is here, does that mean that poor golden-eyed little girl, Nidhogg, is also here...?

He quickly got up and looked around.

The vast blue lake is like a sapphire set in the earth, surrounded by lush vegetation and verdant grass, as beautiful as a fairy tale.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the grass to sway slightly and make a rustling sound. Ripples spread across the lake's surface with the wind, creating the illusion that waves had traveled from the grassland to the lake.

He lay by the lake, an arm's length away from the water. Miss Ould's hand, which was on his head, was slightly damp because she had cupped some lake water and dabbed it on his forehead.

Let him see the truth.

He was somewhat dazed. Just a moment ago, it was the Abyss where ghosts howled; how did he end up here? Had he passed out and fallen asleep in the Abyss?

That's not right. In the past, when I triggered dreams, I should have been with my sister or Liuli. How come I'm in here by myself now?

Many questions remained unanswered, so I looked at Miss Urd, who was dressed in a white gauze gown, her beautiful feet clad in rattan shoes, revealing her nimble toes, and who seemed ethereal and otherworldly like an elf, and said—

"Why is Miss Old here...?"

Urd scratched his head and said—

"I've always been here. I should be the one wondering... why is Mr. Chen Ming here?"

"Isn't this...isn't this the abyss...?"

"The Abyss? Is that what you call this place now?"

Miss Old nodded, then gave a somewhat strange smile, seemingly sighing slightly, and said—

"A place from which there is no escape, a place without hope... that is indeed an apt description..."

Chen Ming was a little confused and was about to ask further.

Miss Old glanced at his hand gripping her hair and said somewhat shyly—

"Um... Mr. Chen Ming... it hurts a little..."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Chen Ming awkwardly let go of her hand. It was fine to act cute with his sister, but to act like that with outsiders... He thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

That's embarrassing.

He watched as Miss Old blushed as she combed her hair, scratched her head, and said—

"So, this really is the abyss? But why is Miss Urd here..."

"This is a fragment of the old world. Didn't that child tell you that?"

Miss Ould was referring to Nidhogg, of course.

Then Chen Ming frowned and noticed another strange place.

Where did that giant tree go?

Nidhogg lived inside, and the tree that the little girl used to gnaw on every day was gone.

"That child..."

He murmured a sentence.

Miss Old seemed to sense his confusion and said—

“My connection with that child’s corner is unequal. When she appears, she forcibly pulls me in, but I can’t, so now I’m missing her corner.”

"What exactly is going on... By the way, has Miss Urd seen Cerberus?"

The dog chased after him down, and they fell together, possibly arriving here together.

However, Miss Old shook her head again and said—

"I didn't notice anyone other than Mr. Chen Ming. The reason I was able to bring Mr. Chen Ming over is because of this..."

She reached out and took out a neatly folded net, the one she had given to Chen Ming. It was a bit tattered after two mythical-level battles, but Miss Urd had repaired it again.

She scratched her head and said in confusion—

"How could it break so quickly? Has my skill level declined? I'm so sorry..."

Miss Old felt very guilty, thinking that she had given him a bad piece of work.

"..."

Chen Ming twitched his lips. This net had already bound two angel kings. He couldn't blame their skill; he had just used it too roughly.

"Here you go, I've reinforced it this time, it shouldn't break quickly."

Miss Old handed the net back to him.

Chen Ming took it, put it away, and then said—

"Thank you, Miss Old."

"It was my fault, I was careless... This time the net will definitely help Mr. Chen Ming catch a big fish."

"..."

Chen Ming thought back for a moment, and realized that there were already enough big fish, including Raphael and Michael.

Chapter 818 Let Me Hold Your Hand

Chen Ming looked at Miss Uld in front of him speechlessly, unsure whether she was feigning ignorance or not. But overall, she had been very good to him, and this time she had pulled him back from the abyss.

We should at least be considered friends, right?

However, a lingering resentment remained in his heart as he recalled the dream from before, in which Miss Urd stood opposite the golden-eyed girl and, together with everyone, declared—the Destroyer of Worlds, Nidhogg.

Why is this happening?

So what does that mean exactly?

He recalled the scene of them throwing stones at that poor little girl, and couldn't help but purse his lips, asking—

"Miss Urd, what do you know about Nidhogg?"

"..."

Miss Urd lowered her eyes slightly and said—

"Well... I don't have a very good relationship with that child..."

She only said that, refusing to reveal anything else, remaining tight-lipped.

"...I see."

Chen Ming did not force him.

Miss Old smiled and said—

"Mr. Chen, please stay here for now. Since you have contact with that child, he will come looking for you in a while, and then you can leave."

Chen Ming tilted her head. Although Urd said that she and that child did not get along well, every time she came here before, she was next to Nidhogg, not far away.

Was she actually looking after the child?

Perhaps it was because Miss Old was beautiful, or perhaps it was because she had done him a favor, but he never felt that Miss Old was a bad person.

He stood up and said—

"Miss Urd, I cannot go back yet."

"Hey?"

She tilted her head.

Chen Ming continued—

"I still have someone important to me who I haven't found."

"Is this the Cerberus you mentioned? The dog that only guards the gates?"

It seems Miss Old also knows Cerberus.

Chen Ming nodded and said—

"It wasn't just her, there were others too."

Gu Qing and the seamstress have both fallen into Satan's hands and are now scattered in the abyss. Now is not the time for them to be carefree.

Miss Urd frowned slightly and said—

"But... the concepts in the abyss are very vague. There are no fixed rules of time and space. People drift between illusion and reality, and anyone can get lost."

Too dangerous.

No one dares to say that they can definitely find a way out of the abyss. There is no fixed path here. Once a soul falls into this place, it will never be able to escape.

She earnestly advised—
