Looking at Zhao Manying who came back from outside, Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask curiously.

After all, I just saw my sister next to the game cabin, and when I got up, I saw her coming back from outside, which inevitably made me curious.

"Ah, I just went out for a walk to relax."

Zhao Manying said a few perfunctorily. After learning a lot of things from the research base, she still needed some time to digest this complex amount of information.

After all, not everyone can easily accept these things, not to mention that no matter which one it is, it challenges human common sense.

Just like under normal circumstances, if someone tells you that tomorrow is the end of the world, people will only think it is a scam rather than the end of the world.

"Gabriel, can you explain the end of the world to me?"

After returning to the room, Zhao Manying directly called out Gabriel, wanting to find out what was going on.

But after coming out, Gabriel did not answer directly, but sat opposite Zhao Manying.

She sat backwards in the chair, her blue eyes staring at Zhao Manying.

"I can't explain it. What I can show you is all there is."

If it was Ye Qing, Gabriel could indeed say more.

But the more he said to Zhao Manying, the more he was harming her. When something happened in the future, she and her family would inevitably be involved.

Ignorance is bliss, at least in this case.

"They've already mentioned the end of the world. Is there anything more terrifying than the end of the world?"

Zhao Manying suppressed her anger and tried her best to communicate with Gabriel calmly.

It feels like a disaster is about to happen, but you don’t know where it will come from.

Under such circumstances, even Zhao Manying would inevitably be affected by the pressure.

But Gabriel still didn't speak, causing Zhao Manying to clench her teeth.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Ye Zi. She should know, right?"

Zhao Manying sneered, waved her hand and wanted to leave the room.

"You'd better not add to her burden."

Gabriel sighed and stopped Zhao Manying when she was about to open the door.

From her perspective, she could naturally see things that Zhao Manying and others could not see, and she was more clear about what Ye Qing was carrying as he continued to move forward.

"What do you say?"

Zhao Manying turned her head, and there seemed to be some impatience in her eyes.

Gabriel, who was sitting on the chair, was also helpless. She knew very well what Zhao Manying was feeling and understood her despair.

Once upon a time, she, still a mortal, also stood in such a situation.

She knew that her world might be facing destruction, but she had no way out and no one even guided her on how to move forward.

At that time, Gabriel was lucky to meet Yeats, who guided her out of the shadows.

"...Come back first, we'll talk slowly."

Zhao Manying didn't really push the door open. She closed the door and sat down in front of Gabriel again.

Over such a long time, Zhao Manying indeed felt that Ye Qing was not that simple.

Whether it was from just playing games at the beginning, to becoming a professional later, to the various complicated situations now.

But Ye Qing never put pressure on others. Instead, he always faced everyone with a smile.

"Gabriel, I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I really want to figure out what all I saw today means."

Zhao Manying sighed. After spending some time with Gabriel, she gradually understood what kind of person he was.

Forcing a kind person to make a choice is a bit torturous for Zhao Manying herself.

Her sense of justice made her feel guilty, but the panic in her heart forced her to do what she wanted.

"Manying, before this I must explain to you that there are only two types of people who can know this information now."

Gabriel sighed. She had already given Zhao Manying a heads-up before and had thought about the current situation to some extent.

But as the old saying goes, man proposes, God disposes, and things like this happen as if it were destined.

"The first category is like the people we saw in the underground research institute. They hide their identities but are destined to sacrifice themselves for the future of mankind."

"The second category consists only of followers of the Chosen One."

Hearing that he was destined to sacrifice for the future of mankind, Zhao Manying could not help but fall silent.

She couldn't be the first type of person. Zhao Manying thought she was not as great as them and did not have their abilities.

Naturally, the only choice left for her was the second one.

Destiny's Child Followers

"Don't rush to make a decision. I will tell you in full what it means to be a follower of Destiny's Child."

Gabriel seemed to see what Zhao Manying was thinking and stretched out his hand to signal her not to speak in a hurry.

"In your world, there probably isn't much knowledge about the soul."

"Soul means the origin of life. Just as the genes in your body are used to distinguish the physical body, the soul can distinguish your essence."

"To become a follower of the Destiny Child means to leave someone else's mark on your soul."

After hearing what Gabriel said, Zhao Manying more or less understood the meaning behind it.

Since the soul is essentially different, if there is someone else's mark in your soul, it is equivalent to handing your entire body and mind into the hands of someone else.

"More importantly, you can gain power from this, power that surpasses that of ordinary people. Living longer and becoming stronger are just the most basic manifestations. What's more important is that your soul will continue to solidify and become a semi-eternal existence."

When Gabriel said this, he seemed to recall something, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Such a scene seemed to have happened once countless years ago.

But the situation he faced at that time was completely different from that of Zhao Manying.

"If the Child of Destiny becomes stronger, you will also become stronger, but the pain she suffers will also be shared with you. Even if she dies, you as her follower will die with her. This is an almost unfair one-sided contract."

Gabriel listed the pros and cons in front of Zhao Manying and let her make her own choice.

But she still hoped from the bottom of her heart that Zhao Manying would not make such a choice. The last transformation failed halfway, and this time it would only traumatize her soul.

What's more, Zhao Manying still didn't know what they were going to face.

"I think......"

----------

Just when Zhao Manying was undecided, Ye Qing temporarily left the palace and came to the Shadow City where Sera was.

This time, Sera changed her appearance again.

It seemed that she had completely digested the previous strength and the injuries on her body had recovered. Sera became as arrogant as before.

She was wearing a dark red battle robe, and the tangled ribbons highlighted the beauty of her body.

"You found something similar to war?"

After hearing Ye Qing's description, Sera almost immediately thought of someone.

He is also lurking in the City of Shadows and is the most bizarre of the four.

Chapter 82 Preparation for Crusade

"If it's a plague, it's really not that easy to deal with."

After thinking for a while, Sera motioned Ye Qing to follow her.

As someone who has been in the City of Shadows for who knows how long, she naturally knows some secrets that others don't know.

Putting aside her past with Delaris, Sera herself was a very capable spy from the beginning.

She has a firm grasp on intelligence.

"Oh, right, I heard the legend about those four people. In the church's legend, they are the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They represent the will of God?"

Following Sera, they temporarily left the Warrior Guild and continued to move forward in the thick fog.

Ye Qing took out the lantern and expressed his doubts to Sera.

In her previous life, she had never heard of the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Although Ye Qing was not a complacent person, she definitely knew more about the game plot than ninety-nine percent of people.

If this legend is really known to only one percent of the population, then the problem obviously lies with Feilin.

This character, who should not have survived, revealed to Ye Qing the existence of the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"Huh? If they can represent the will of the gods, then what do I represent? The devil of hell?"

Sera was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly started laughing.

Her existence itself goes against all common sense, and something as terrifying as the Four Horsemen is even more outrageous.

However, the Four Horsemen were not created by God. Sera knew very well that the power that resided in them was some kind of equally abnormal existence.

For Sera, those powers are a great tonic.

"That's strange. When I asked for information, I saw that people were quite afraid of the church."

Ye Qing waved her hand. She really wasn't very clear about this aspect.

In the game version before her death, the church forces had just begun to demonstrate their strength, and it is obviously not reasonable to speculate based on the current game version.

"The church... the people in the church are not normal themselves, but they only dare to do this in a few countries in the West. If they go to the East, they will probably be driven into the sea by those dragon blood descendants."

When talking about the church, Serra smiled sarcastically, and every word he said revealed his dissatisfaction with the church.

Ye Qing could understand her emotions. After all, the church was behind her murder.

The two walked through the thick fog and soon arrived in front of a strange inverted triangle building.

As Sera operated, a dim light projected from the center of the inverted triangle.

"By the way, about that matter about my father...thank you."

Sera coughed lightly a few times and said with her back to Ye Qing.

She didn't look directly at Ye Qing behind her. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she was embarrassed to face her.

After all, if Zhao Xin and others hadn't come with the token, she would probably never know the truth in her life, and would not even be able to reconcile with her blood relatives.

"Heh... aren't we companions?"

Ye Qing took a step forward and followed Sera's instructions to stand in the light.

"Companion?"

Sera murmured with a smile, the smile on her lips spreading unconsciously.

It had been a long time since she had heard this word, and it had also been a long time since she had been able to let go of her worries and trust her back to others.

If it was Ye Qing and the others, it would be fine...

As the light disappeared, the figures of the two people gradually disappeared from the spot, and the strange inverted triangle building was also hidden in the thick fog, as if it had never appeared.

When the two appeared again, they were already standing in front of a strange statue.

It was a half-length statue of a woman holding a disc, and in the center of the disc there were twenty-three corresponding square gaps, as if something was to be filled in.

Just when Ye Qing was about to touch the disc, she was suddenly stopped by Sera.

"Hey, don't touch that."

Sera's voice made Ye Qing quickly retract his outstretched hand. He turned around and smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Sera just sighed.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't know what this thing is used for. This is what we're going to use today."

Following the direction Sera pointed, Ye Qing noticed the bookshelf on the side.

It was filled with all kinds of strangely shaped books, most of which had some weird decorations on the covers and looked like they were quite old.

Sera walked forward, stretched out her hand, accurately pulled out a book with a dark green cover, and brushed off the dust on it skillfully.

"Here are the weaknesses of the four horsemen. Not only the plague, but also the remaining two horsemen. Just read it here. You can't take it out."
