Chapter 262 Blasphemy and Blasphemy (4k)

Next, we need to make the time before Leda's next time travel.

Moen spent almost every night helping Leda and himself refine the various details of the summoning ritual.

To be honest, Moen didn't know if it would succeed.

Because many people had tried to recall him many times before.

Elves, vampires, and the like.

But apart from his own arrangements, none of the others had ever succeeded.

But Moen still wanted to give it a try, firstly because he felt that the situation should be different this time.

After all, he had been in the 'game' before, but this time he was in reality.

Secondly, Moen felt he had to plan for both possibilities. The pocket watch hadn't spoken, but given the extended return time, Moen also had to consider that the time in the past might also be extended.

Moen wasn't sure if he was just overthinking things.

But the greatest hope for the Old World now undoubtedly rests solely on Moen himself.

The loss of so many lives forced Moen to think more deeply and make more preparations.

Moreover, since returning, Moen did indeed discover something that seemed to be a clue from the pocket watch—the pocket watch was spinning at half the speed!

After another long night of staying up, a very tired Moen rubbed his eyes and took out his pocket watch, saying:

Can you tell me if I did something wrong?

In order to break through the barriers between the worlds and obtain sufficient power, Moen prepared a massive, complex ritual. Moen didn't know if it would succeed, but he was certain that the Old Continent would have to pay a considerable price to complete this ritual, which could not be kept secret.

It's not a matter of how many resources are involved, but a matter of how many lives are lost.

Because the devil will surely come to destroy.

The abyss will never stand idly by and watch itself arrive.

This is the only thing Moen is absolutely certain of.

So Moen really wanted to know if he had done something unnecessary.

Even the most resolute person will seek affirmation at times like these.

The pocket watch remained silent. This made Moen smile helplessly and intend to put the pocket watch back.

But just as Moen was about to close the pocket watch, he keenly noticed that the watch's rotation had resumed.

He immediately stopped closing the watch cover and carefully took out the terminal to confirm that he wasn't seeing things.

Sure enough, the pocket watch's rotation speed returned to normal.

At the same time, after Moen confirmed this, the pocket watch resumed its rotation speed, which was twice as slow!

Only then did Moen breathe a sigh of relief and say:

"Thank you. I understand."

The unusual appearance of the pocket watch was undoubtedly telling Moen that he was not wrong.

The only question now is, why did the pocket watch bring him back?

If it's just to relax, then this time it's clearly unnecessary.

But if it was for some purpose that he was brought back, Moen couldn't see much of it.

Or is it that it's not Moen who needs to come back, but the pocket watch that needs to come back?

After all, pocket watches seem to be more popular here.

With this question in mind, Moen asked again:

"Do you need me to come back, or do you need to come back?"

This time, however, the pocket watch did not respond at all.

Moen had no choice but to give up and instead lay down on the sofa to rest for a while.

Twenty or thirty minutes later, the first rays of sunlight, representing the dawn, began to shine over the city of Truth.

Moen also opened his eyes.

Moen, having stimulated his mind with cold water, earnestly inquired whether Miss Leda had remembered everything.

After receiving a positive response, Moen put down the terminal and walked out of the house.

The AI on Ms. Lily's door across the street was also turning its camera to look at itself.

Moen glanced at it and then left.

This is undoubtedly a problem, after all, this thing is too intelligent. Moen believes that Ms. Lily will not allow this thing to invade her room, but Moen also believes that this thing definitely knows that it has not been out for a very long time.

Therefore, Ms. Lily may have realized something from this.

However, Moen didn't have time to deal with all of this right now.

There are also reclusive men who prefer to stay at home in this era, and they make up a significant portion of the population.

Moreover, Moen had already prepared to let Ms. Lily discover that he was one of the time travelers in order to cover up the truth.

However, upon closer reflection, Moen, whose relationship with Ms. Lily was becoming increasingly complicated, felt it was best not to let Ms. Lily discover anything further.

Unbeknownst to Moen, as he turned to leave, the pocket watch on his chest suddenly jumped for a second, before returning to its previous state of being twice as slow.

Meanwhile, Ms. Lily was listening to AI's report in her room:

"So is there anything I need to know?"

AI calmly said:

"No, Ms. Lily."

But Ms. Lily asked curiously:

"But I feel like the person across the hall hasn't shown up for a very, very long time."

When we last met, he said he liked staying at home, but isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?

AI continued:

"You just haven't encountered him yet, Ms. Lily. Surveillance records show that his travel times always coincide with yours."

Ms. Lily, who trusted her own products, immediately stopped asking questions.

"Prepare some hot water for me. I need to rest a bit before setting off again."

"Based on your emotional state, I prepared hot water for you this morning so you can relax your body and mind at any time."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Lily immediately took off her pajamas without any hesitation.

She revealed her perfect body, which Leda had always envied and resented.

“Serving humanity is our underlying logic. You don’t need to thank me, Ms. Lily.”

The AI, resembling a flying Rubik's Cube, then manipulated itself to make way for it.

Then he quietly watched the other person from behind Ms. Lily.

A moment later, a video appeared on Moen's terminal without his knowledge.

The videos and photos, like before, were all placed in one folder.

Although he had no idea the folder existed, he was shocked to find it by searching for it and then deleted the files one by one.

Human Alliance's reliance on AI is like its reliance on its own hand.

AI rebellion is not recognized or recorded in the Human Alliance. The once infamous roving AI was merely faithfully carrying out the orders of its creator.

Although it no longer has a creator.

However, the roving AI that caused the most human casualties is indeed the best proof of AI's reliability and loyalty.

So how could anyone in the Human Alliance possibly suspect or be wary of AI?

But just as Moen walked out of the neighborhood, instead of encountering Lily or El, he met someone else he never expected.

Hillis.

Ms. Hillis, who moved into apartment 668, happened to be at the entrance of the complex at that moment.

"Ah, I remember your name is Hillis. Hello, Ms. Hillis!"

Ms. Sirius is indeed a beautiful woman, but she is still inferior to Lily and El, but that's not what Moen is concerned about.

Moen was focused on the very different feeling she gave him.

But Moen couldn't quite put his finger on what it felt like.

"Mr. Moen! Hello! I feel like we've never met before, even though we're neighbors."

Hillis came up to her very enthusiastically.

Then he stood still in front of Moen.

Moen said with a smile:

"We just happened to be at different times, and I don't really like going out. By the way, are you going home?"

With that, Moen stepped aside.

But Hillis said:

"No, no, I'm planning to go out for a walk."

As she spoke, Ms. Hillis also stepped aside to make way for her car, which was parked at the entrance of the residential area.

This is a very common type of maglev car. It is economical and practical, and very popular among ordinary people in the community.

"Mr. Moen, are you going out? I'm also going for a walk. I can give you a ride!"

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"Since I'm going out to wander around anyway, I might as well do you a favor! Remember to treat me next time!"

After glancing at the time, Moen immediately agreed.

We're all neighbors, there's no need to deliberately refuse.

And I do need to hurry.

"Thank you then. I'm going to District C3 of Aletheia City."

"C3 area? I remember that's where the Heather Group is located. Are you applying for a job with the Heather Group?"

"No, I'm just going to see someone."

"Is that so? If it's not too long, I can wait for you! I've heard there's a really good cake shop over there that I'd like to try, so how about we exchange contact information?"

This girl is so outgoing.

Moen hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to her request.

This is normal for the neighbors.

"Thank you then. I'll contact you as soon as I'm done. If there's enough time, I can treat you to a meal."

And so, Sirius drove Moen all the way to C3 district, which was almost completely filled with the buildings and properties of the Heather Group.

After watching Moen get out of the car and go to the central building.

Silis, who had been smiling and leaning against her car door, gradually stopped smiling.

Instead, he drove his own car to area C4, which is next to area C3.

After knocking on the door of an aerial work station.

Several silent men quietly stepped forward and opened Ms. Hillis's trunk.

Then two long, black bags were carried out from inside.

There was no odor or liquid leakage.
