The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　The inside of the door was pitch black, like the gaping mouth of a giant beast, inviting every prey to go in and take a look.

　"You two can stand guard at the door," Alice said softly, "I'll just go in."

　"No, Alice-senpai, you..."

　"I have been chosen by the prophecy," Alice said firmly. "If there is to be a sacrifice, it will be me, not you."

　She took off the golden pendant from her chest, squeezed it, and the Sword of Dawn was in her hand.

　Then, Alice walked into the dark house alone.

　The condition inside the house was exactly the same as outside - it looked like no one had lived there for a long time, but there was not even a trace of dust on the surface of the cabinet.

　Alice used the glow from the surface of the Sword of Dawn to illuminate herself and groped her way through the house step by step.

　At this time, she heard singing coming from the second floor of the house.

　"Huh~huh~huh~"

　It was a clear female voice, humming a tune Alice had never heard before.

　The melody sounded like church music, but it was mixed with a hint of discordant notes.

　In such a dark environment, humming like that actually created a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

　Alice carefully ascended the stairs to the second floor, suppressing the sound of her footsteps.

　When I reached the second floor, I saw that the door at the end of the corridor was half-open, and a deep red light was reflected on the ground.

　Deep Red...

　Alice took a deep breath, holding the Sword of Dawn in one hand and the wand in the other, and continued forward.

　As she listened, the song became increasingly eerie. Its original sacredness was gone, leaving only the eerie melody.

　The melody sounded like the devil's narration and the crying of wronged souls.

　“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

　Alice walked towards the door step by step, her footsteps playing in harmony with the strange melody.

　Finally, she stood in front of the door.

　She slowly reached out her hand, grasped the door handle, and slowly opened the door——

　"Squeak..."

　The crimson light came towards her, swallowing Alice inch by inch.

　She passed through the door and found herself on the roof of the house.

　A crimson light illuminated the earth. Alice did not look up, for she knew what she would see if she did.

　She set her eyes on the source of the singing—a young girl.

　"...Look, the moon has been watching, for three thousand years, and that eye has never closed..."

　Her long silver-white hair floated in the crimson like a galaxy, and she had two eyes, one golden and one red. The red one was filled with the oppressive crimson moonlight.

　"...Three thousand years ago...He didn't even have eyes...Was He not so tired then..."

　"Who are you?" Alice asked softly.

　"Doesn't that little book tell you...my name?"

　The girl didn't feel offended

　, just lay down, leaning against the slope of the roof, and staring at the sky.

　"...Isn't introducing the name a bit too self-conscious? After all, I've seen that there aren't many believers left in this mortal world..."

　"Then you can just call me...Lucifer..."

　Lucifer lazily turned his head and looked at Alice who was standing there:

　"Alice Pucht, you seek the truth, you seek a way out, but you are always lost."

　"That's because you've never faced your own destiny, just like the owner of this villa..."

　"How should we face it?" Alice asked softly, her vigilance reaching its highest point.

　"It's very simple..."

　Lucifer showed a harmless smile:

　“Just look up…”

　"Look at the moon."

Chapter 591: The Great Warship that Destroys a Nation (Part 2) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　Look up and see the moon.

　Under the crimson moonlight, Lucifer's voice drifted in Alice's ears.

　Alice didn't look up, but just stared at Lucifer quietly.

　"This farm...is it yours?" she changed the subject.

　"What? Are you scared?" Lucifer chuckled. "Are you afraid to look up and face the truth of this world? You're clearly a demigod, so you should be able to hold His gaze for a few seconds..."

　"I'm not afraid," Alice said. "Even if I were to die looking at the moon, I would still do it without hesitation... But I don't know if I can trust you."

　"You should trust me since I'm here," Lucifer said lazily.

　"why?"

　"Because this is Crow's Manor... No, you should call him... Merlin..."

　Lucifer's hand gently stroked the roof, his delicate fingers sliding across the rough wood.

　"This villa is his resort. Why do you think it's been maintained but no one lives there?"

　""

　Alice choked for a moment.

　After all this time, this revelation is so mysterious...

　...But it's Principal Merlin's resort?

　"However, this place is indeed a very special place for the Book of Hell."

　Lucifer spoke and directly pointed out the existence of the Book of Hell.

　"Why do you say that?" Alice asked.

　"Because... this is where it was born..."

　Lucifer smiled lightly:

　"After the crimson within the golden moon and stars was torn out, that trace of red was captured by Merlin and fashioned right here where you stand... into the Book of Hell."

　"The Book of Hell was taken to Falù and the Black Forest by refugees from Messina, and eventually became part of the collection of the Silver Blade Tribe."

　"A thousand years later, the Star Angel personally passed through the Silver Blade Tribe, forming a cause and effect. Later, during the old king's war for the future, he received enlightenment from the book..."

　"Such an exquisite design, this is the loom of fate - the red moon in the sky."

　"Ultimately, it brought you here, and became the key... to open that door."

　"Great...Great...After traveling around your country, I felt really bored. But after seeing you, it's a pleasant surprise."

　Lucifer slowly got up, his graceful silhouette twisting like a snake in the moonlight.

　She came up to Alice and smiled playfully:

　"Your last name is... Prophet, a prophet, a seer."

　"You were once famous for your brilliant use of the Dagger of Truth, earning the title of the Peering Witch..."

　"And what you never dreamed was that your ultimate destiny wasn't to peek into those boring things."

　"Because of a prophecy, you finally met me and were destined to peek into the greatest existence in the world..."

　Lucifer raised his head and whispered softly:

　"What you are looking at... is the moon... is destiny..."

　She stretched out her hand, and a crimson red spider lily bloomed in her palm.

　Lucifer held the flower in front of Alice and whispered softly:

　"Go, prepare yourself, on the next moonlit night..."

　"...to peek at the moon."

　"Then, I will be happy to gaze upon you...to see the deepest secrets of this world...the source of logic for all this..."

　After saying that, Lucifer didn't give Alice a chance to answer, and lightly snapped his fingers -

　"Snapped!"

　When Alice came to her senses, she found herself standing in the doorway leading to the roof.

　She carefully opened the door, and what came into view was not the deep red moonlight, but the pale golden starlight.

　"Senior Alice!" Albus and his group waved in the yard, "Any new discoveries?"

　Half an hour later, Wind Whisper Town.

　At the entrance of the chapel, members of the First Division of the Supernatural Department cleared a space, and several nuns of the church engraved patterns on the ground with their wands.

　Alice stood aside and watched quietly.

　To peek at the moon...it's a very dangerous act, not just ordinary dangerous.

　So what if he was a demigod? Even an angel wouldn't be able to survive against such a strange being.

　But Alice decided to take a gamble.

　The nuns of the church are engraving a string array. Alice decides to use the power of faith of the Holy Star Church to anchor herself and obtain a relatively stable spiritual body by praying to Xiaomo.

　Then, she would clear out the entire Windwhispering Town and look up at the moon alone.

　She wanted to ask the moon where the first cluster of golden branches was.

　""

　"Alice-senpai."

　A familiar voice, Alice turned around and saw Angelica walking towards her.

　She was supported by Albus, one hand still on the crutch, but she looked much better.

　"Angelica," Alice stepped forward, "Are you feeling better?"

　"I'm basically fine now... I can walk now," Angelica smiled weakly. "If there's any action later, I can join in!"

　"You'd better take good care of it..." Albus frowned.

　"Oh, you care about me now. Is it because you almost lost me that you know how to cherish me?" Angelica chuckled.

　Albus turned his head away and sighed softly.

　He straightened his expression and looked up at Alice.

　"Senior, are you sure that Lucifer is okay?"

　"The Book of Hell points to her, and she wields the power of crimson..." Alice murmured, "And, she knows Principal Merlin..."

　"That's not enough for us to trust her," said Albus.

　"But we don't have time," Alice shook her head. "We don't even know the situation on the other side right now... Ophelia has a monopoly on all the information, so we have to hurry."

　Alice looked towards the open space on the side, watching the huge string magic circle being gradually outlined.

　"If I die, you will pray to Xiaomo and tell her that I failed," Alice whispered, "and then, help me and my mother... my Vivian... my sister... my little Faye... say sorry..."

　"Senior sister..."

　"Don't make it seem like we're saying goodbye. It'll take some time to wait until a moonlit night."

　Alice looked up and chuckled:

　"Okay, it's too late today, go back and rest."

　After saying that, Alice walked towards the church and entered the candlelit darkness alone.
