Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

But unexpectedly, before the ceremony even began, they encountered the true god, Bai Ye.

Then the focus returns to the small shop that Avril and Luo Zhen are currently in.

Luo Zhen told Bai Ye about his story, hoping that Bai Ye might take pity on him and leave him a rose doll.

However, Luo Zhen never expected that Bai Ye would be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

He simply reached out and took all his dolls and materials.

Luo Zhen could only watch Bai Ye's figure as he took the things with a look of despair and loneliness.

Even Avril, who had listened to the whole story, couldn't bear it anymore. She reached out and tugged at Bai Ye's sleeve, wanting him to stop bullying his poor father.

Bai Ye merely pursed his lips at the girl's self-pity.

After thinking for a moment, he gave the girl a reassuring look in return.

After collecting all the doll materials, Bai Ye looked at Luo Zhen with a smile.

"Forget it, I will never give the rose doll to you."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's resolute words, Luo Zhen's face turned completely ashen, and his pupils dimmed.

"However, I can help you go to that place called the Abyss and rescue both of your daughters. What do you think in exchange?"

"what!"

The light in his pupils returned instantly, and Luo Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

That's right!

After learning that the Rozen figure before them represented not only the worldview of Rozen Maiden, but also that of Pandora Hearts, they realized that this person, Luo Zhen, was not merely a product of the Rozen Maiden universe.

Bai Ye immediately decided to help Luo Zhen.

After learning the whole story, Byakuya no longer harbored any ill will towards Rōzō because of the Alice Game incident.

After all, didn't he perish before the ritual even began?

What's more, this is a top-tier father-in-law who provided him with nine leading lady-level daughters all at once.

Although seven of the daughters are now Bai Ye's own daughters.

Of course, even without encountering Luo Zhen, if Bai Ye had known that there were two Alices, one black and one white, in this world, she would have taken the initiative to help.

After promising Luo Zhen that he would go to the Abyss to rescue his daughter, Black and White Alice, in a while.

Bai Ye left Rozen Maiden's doll shop with a lot of goodies.

When they left, all three people in the shop had happy smiles on their faces.

Byakuya was happy because he was about to gain nine female protagonists, and Avril was very happy because she received an exquisite doll as a gift from Byakuya, which he had obtained from Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen, on the other hand, was overjoyed to receive Bai Ye's promise to save his daughter.

"It's a win-win-win situation!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Dalian (Two Chapters Combined)

Continuing on the way to Avril's grandfather's old house.

By using the Book of Omniscience and spending 10 points of Faith Power, Bai Ye was able to find out about Jack Vessalius's current whereabouts.

"Oh! Interesting!"

"What's interesting?"

Avril, who was standing next to Bai Ye, saw that ever since Bai Ye came out of the doll shop, he had been looking up things in his omniscient book.

They completely disregarded the fact that they were still on a date.

Her little face is almost as puffed up as Bao Zi, a testament to Victoria's influence.

"Alright, alright, I've finished checking everything. Now I'll continue to spend quality time with you on our date!"

He let go, allowing the Book of Omniscience in his hand to dissipate in the wind. Only then did Bai Ye begin to soothe the somewhat agitated Avril beside him.

Bai Ye has already found out.

A man named Jack Vessalius—no, he should be called a boy now—has, after a hundred years of reincarnation, long since lost his soul.

Now, control of his body has fallen into Oz's hands, and he has become "Oz Vessalius" of the Vessalius family.

That is, the opening scene of the original Pandora Hearts story.

Furthermore, according to Bai Ye's research, Jack was born several years ago when Bai Ye was still able to control his body.

He killed Oscar Vessalius's (uncle in the original story) wife and children, and threatened Zay Vessalius (father in the original story) with the life of Ida Vessalius (sister) to make him adopt him as his son.

This was in preparation for his body to be sealed into the Abyss on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony after being controlled by Oz.

Because Jack's soul couldn't enter the Abyss, he probably wanted to use the spirit within the Abyss to obliterate the soul of Oz, who was occupying his body.

They want to regain control of their bodies.

It's just too much. No wonder the male protagonist's so-called father in the original work always disliked him.

After all, Jack almost killed his entire family with that face; who wouldn't hate that?

So

Bai Ye made the decision immediately.

A week later, on Oz Vessalius's coming-of-age ceremony, he planned to descend from the heavens and surprise Jack Vessalius.

Of course, who will be surprised and who will be happy in the end is anyone's guess!

......

I spent an afternoon shopping with Avril.

Carrying large and small bags, Bai Ye finally arrived at the girl's grandfather's old house with the girl.

The house was surrounded by countless green plants growing haphazardly. It seemed that no one had ever thought of trimming them.

The entrance is marked by a shield with two Western dragons guarding it, which is likely the emblem representing Avril's family.

The house inside was quite large, but it was already somewhat dilapidated.

The exterior walls, constructed of beige bricks and stones, have almost completely peeled off, and from a distance, it looks like they haven't been maintained for a long time.

This hardly resembles a noble mansion that has lost its owner less than a year ago.

Bai Ye felt that even if someone suddenly appeared at this moment and told him that this was a haunted house that had been abandoned for a hundred years, Bai Ye would believe it.

"Well... Grandpa wasn't one to spend money recklessly. Aside from being generous with books, he only kept one maid in the house to take care of his daily needs."

Seeing the state of her grandfather's old house, Avril scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

However, Bai Ye didn't pay attention to these minor details.

Avril took out the key and opened the fairly new wooden door.

Looking around

Apart from the fact that the ground was covered in dust and the corners were covered in cobwebs.

The interior of the house bears a striking resemblance to the layout of the St. Margaret's Library.

The entrance was lined with bookshelves, the living room was lined with bookshelves, the bedroom was lined with bookshelves, and even the kitchen... had a row of bookshelves.

This made Bai Ye afraid to even step into the last restroom. Because Bai Ye was afraid to see that there was also a row of bookshelves inside the restroom.

Bai Ye now finally understood the true value of Avril's statement that "Grandpa loved books like crazy".

What Bai Ye found somewhat puzzling was...

Why do all these bookshelves seem to be empty?

What about the phantom books that this grandfather collected?

They can't all be buried with the dead just because they died!

Even someone who loves books to the point of obsession wouldn't be able to let books with magical powers disappear along with them... right?

Suddenly, I recalled the country where I lived in my previous life. It seems that quite a few historical figures liked to take their favorite books with them to their graves.

Bai Ye's tone became increasingly insecure.

However, it was for his own purpose of seeking out the mysterious.

Bai Ye chose to continue walking forward along the path left by the dust on the ground.

finally

The two arrived at a door that appeared to lead to the basement of the mansion.

I pushed open the door and went downstairs.

"So all the books in the mansion were put in the basement!"

Upon seeing the basement warehouse piled high with books, Avril, who had also been curious about the matter, finally had an expression of sudden realization.

However, Bai Ye frowned upon seeing this.

Because Bai Ye didn't sense any special or mysterious aura from these piles of books that formed small mountains.

However, it seemed that there was a life force emanating from the very center of the pile of books in front of them.

Curious, I continued to move forward.

The very center of the pile of books was the only place in the entire basement with a light source.

White Night, pulling Avril along as they walked.

I saw...

Under that light source sat a lovely girl with long, deep purple hair and wine-red eyes.

The girl had an open book on her lap, and seemed to be reading it with her head down.

However, the girl seemed to be too engrossed in reading, as she remained motionless for a long time.

Avril thought it was a doll.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to pinch the girl's cheek.

Seeing Avril's actions, Bai Ye didn't offer any advice, but simply watched the next scene with interest.

Then...

"what are you doing?"

"what!"

The outstretched hand was slapped away by the girl who looked like a doll.

Avril was startled.

"The doll...the doll moved!"

Bai Ye was speechless. "Girl, you're an angel now, okay? You've been through so many storms, and you can still be scared by a doll."

"You're the puppet!"

Avril was responded to by a purple-haired girl with a somewhat hostile expression.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing the purple-haired girl's question, Avril suddenly realized that the girl in front of her must be a resident of her grandfather's mansion.

He quickly took out the last letter his grandfather had left him from his bag and handed it to the girl to read.

“Um, I’m Avril Bradley, and I’m actually the granddaughter of my grandfather, Viscount Willis! He’s the one he designated to inherit this mansion and the Dantalian bookshelves.”

"So she's Waiz's granddaughter?"

"But... Dantalian's bookshelf!"

Upon hearing the first name, the girl nodded. However, when she uttered the second name, her pupils contracted slightly, causing Bai Ye, who was watching the two's conversation, to suddenly show a thoughtful expression.
