Lucifer walked over with light dance steps and approached Xingmo.
"It's been a while since I last saw you..."
"Strictly speaking, I'm not..." Xingmo said halfway and sighed, "Okay, what's wrong?"
"My stage is already set," Lucifer looked at Xingmo eagerly, "Can you come and visit me?"
"What stage?" Xing Mo tilted her head.
"About the source of all sin, about the deepest darkness in this world..."
"No." Xing Mo turned and left.
"Hey! I spent a lot of time on this!"
Lucifer grabbed Xingmo's sleeve and looked at her angrily.
Xing Mo turned around and looked at the Lord of Hell with a smile:
"I know you want me to see how dark this world is, how unworthy all living beings are of protection. You've even been secretly planning a lot of things on the Silver Tree, and recently you're even planning a big one."
"You...know everything?" Lucifer murmured.
Xingmo turned around, gently lifted Lucifer's chin with her hand, and looked closely at the girl's surprised eyes.
"There is bound to be sin in this world," Xing Mo whispered, "but that doesn't mean that the guilty person needs to be
Free will will find its own way.”
"But you... are so gentle..."
Lucifer tried to break free, but found that he had no strength left.
She looked at Xing Mo angrily and said in a deep voice:
"I don't care. I helped you during the Doomsday War, so you should at least show some appreciation!"
"I'm enjoying life," Xingmo let go of Lucifer, "You go and have fun by yourself, just don't go too far, okay?"
"no!"
Lucifer was angry.
"I am the King of Hell! I am Satan! I am the Crimson Apostle!"
"Okay, okay, you are, you are." Xing Mo quickly agreed.
"I'm really getting angry!" Lucifer glared at Xing Mo fiercely, "Can I make a condition? Seriously!"
"Oh?"
Xingmo blinked curiously:
"What are the conditions?"
"The revival of the Red Moon." Lucifer said.
After hearing this, Xingmo finally took it seriously.
Today, three and a half years after the end of the Doomsday War, the Red Moon is still sleeping, showing no signs of waking up.
For Mu Guangxing, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It's a good thing, because the crimson and crimson pollution won't erode this world, and everything is developing in peace.
The bad thing is... the threat of the String Painters hasn't been completely eliminated.
He once mentioned that he had a backup plan, but to this day Xing Mo still doesn't know what that backup plan is.
Although she controls the fate of the entire Muguang Star, if she wants to look beyond the sky, there is not much that the Eye of Destiny can do.
It is completely unknown from which direction the Painted Stringers will attack.
But if there is a red moon, it will be different.
As an ancient god of the realm of destiny, his power can radiate to the entire box garden, which has been confirmed in the Shepherd's Star String Project.
But he remained in a deep sleep, which made Xingmo unable to do anything.
And now, the bargaining chip offered by Lucifer is... the revival of Red Moon.
""
Seeing Xingmo's expression change, Lucifer couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
"To tell you the truth, everything I'm doing right now is for the revival of Red Moon."
"As for how to revive... you won't understand, just leave it to me."
Lucifer excitedly circled around Xingmo, talking as he walked, like a little girl explaining her great plan to her mother.
Seeing her like this, Xing Mo sighed softly and said:
"Okay, then tell me, how can I cooperate with you?"
"It's very simple."
Lucifer walked around to Xingmo and stretched out his hand towards her.
A crimson flower of the other shore blossomed in her palm, layer upon layer:
"I have spread the red spider lilies to all parts of the world," Lucifer blinked, "which is why those children dreamed of me... I am awakening their instincts..."
"And now, the Silver Tree's trajectory has reached a fork in the road. You should be able to observe that some things are gradually changing..."
"Those children will return to their natural instincts. Seven of them answered my call and brought the Seven Deadly Sins back into the world."
"Go find the Seven Deadly Sins. Once you find them, you will know how to bring the Red Moon back to this world."
Lucifer had just finished speaking when Xingmo smiled faintly.
"You want me to help you with something, and then come out and tell you you've been tricked?"
"How could I!" Lucifer said angrily, "You don't distrust me so much, do you? Didn't we have a very pleasant cooperation three thousand years ago?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After Xingmo finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand, scaring Lucifer so much that he subconsciously wanted to step back.
But what greeted her was a warm embrace.
"...Eh?"
"But you have to promise me that you'll come back after this is over, okay?"
She looked at Lucifer in her arms, his golden and red eyes, and said softly:
"Don't forget, you are my saint."
""
Lucifer lowered her head, and Xingmo couldn't see her expression.
She broke free from Xingmo's embrace, turned around, and flowers bloomed at her feet:
"...That's only after you change your mind. I'm a very rebellious person. Don't try to deceive me with sweet words."
She walked away step by step, the crimson environment gradually dissipated, and only her back remained.
""
"Miss Saint? Are you okay?"
Xingmo opened her eyes and saw Alia standing in front of her, looking at her with concern.
She smiled faintly, rubbed Alia's head with her hand, and turned to look at Ophelia:
"Ophelia, here comes the work."
"The first of the seven deadly sins is wrath."
"The culprit is... Captain Alex."
As the First Department of the Extraordinary Department took over control of the bridge, the White Whale stopped sliding into the abyss and quickly sailed out of the range of the storm.
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, Section 1 specially set aside a room to stack the bodies of the victims and administered amnesia to all the passengers on the ship.
""
Ophelia pushed her wheelchair into the room using her hands.
There were tables on both sides of the room, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw the bulges of white cloth on the tabletops.
Ophelia pushed and pushed,
Push to the end of the room.
Xingmo and Aurora were standing there, one in a white coat and the other still in a black waterproof cloak, their clothes covered with tiny water droplets.
On the table behind them lay a tattered looking skeleton in a captain's uniform.
"This is Alex?" Ophelia frowned. "I thought you would spare his life."
"No chance," Aurora shrugged. "This guy completely sacrificed his soul. He died the moment the ritual was completed. All that's left is a skeleton filled with hatred."
"Séance?" Ophelia asked.
Xingmo nodded:
"Something like that. The power of outer space was injected into him, destroying him instantly and manifesting the worst side of his personality."
"The sin he represents is wrath."
"Angry?" Ophelia gently supported her chin with her hand. "According to his file, his motive for committing the crime is completely established."
Ophelia's eyes swept around, taking in the tragic scene in the room.
"Is this a massive undertaking? If it weren't for the intervention of the Supernatural Division, the entire ship would have sunk into the sea, and there wouldn't have been many survivors, would there?"
"To be exact, no one survived."
Xingmo said this, walked to the table beside her, and lifted the white cloth with her hands.
Under the white cloth was a waiter in formal attire. The flame on his head had gone out, and the sheep skull looked eerie and terrifying in the dim light.
"These are the servants of Lucifer, the new priests of the Red Moon Cult."
"You mean, they have a lot of sacrifices now?" Ophelia rubbed her temples.
"A lot," Xing Mo nodded with a smile, "They used the skeletons of extraordinary creatures to transform themselves, in exchange for bodies that can withstand high concentrations of extraordinary essence."
"Since they appeared on this cruise ship, it means that their plan is to ensure the sinking of the White Whale, to ensure that Fury emerges into the world, and to complete the sacrifice to Lucifer."
Xingmo and Ophelia looked at each other, and the latter shrugged helplessly:
"If every subsequent attack is of this scale, how many victims will pay the price for Satan's evil deeds?"
Hearing this, Xing Mo shook his head lightly:
"Ophelia, think back, is Captain Alex's behavior really related to Satan's instigation?"
"Do you remember the first time we read Alex's file half a month ago?"
Chapter 622: Raging Sea (Part 3) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
Section 3 of the Extraordinary Department, Archives Room.
"Heh~ I just finished preparing for class... and you guys dragged me here to work..."
In front of the warehouse door, Miriam stretched and looked back at Xingmo and Aurora.
"What files do you young lovers want?"
"We need information on a captain named Alex Pareto," Xingmo said. "Section One has a new case to handle, and I'd like to help."
"I'm here to accompany you," Aurora yawned. "I was still sleeping. I rushed over when I heard there was something fun going on."
"Fun?" Miriam blinked curiously. "Xiaoshu, what kind of fun is it? Tell me about it."
"It's too complicated to explain," Aurora stuck out her tongue. "It's probably just that someone can't control their own children."
"Strictly speaking... forget it," Xing Mo sighed, "Little Ancestor, if she is considered my child, then you are also her mother, right?"
"No, I don't have any children." Aurora smiled mischievously.
"Oh... I thought our relationship had reached that point..."
"We're here, but we have to be clear, that's your child, not ours~"
