After Boroye left, Kanter secretly created a Spirit Bond and invited Sunders into their "group chat".
"Should we leave now?" Sunders heard Ness speaking as soon as the Spirit Bond was established.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the arrival of Boroye gave them a great fright, its arrival was not entirely without benefits.
The powerful aura suppressed all the sea creatures in the area and slowed down No.03's movement. In other words, Boroye's aura also slowed down No.03's movement and slowed down the fruit's ripening time.
This meant that they didn't have to worry about the fruit.
However, the aura also prevented them from leaving using a plane passageway. If they tried to use a plane passageway by force, they would likely face a dimensional collapse.
"Then let's leave for now and head to Reef Island," Ness said after a pause. "I already told Filo to wait for us at Reef Island."
Angor nodded. "Alright."
Nausica was waiting at Reef Island. Cindy and the others who came with Filo to the Mist Belt were also there. They had to pay Reef Island a visit no matter what.
Also, the reef island was close to the edge of the fog zone. It should be out of the area covered by the pressure and could use a plane passageway. Even if they didn't use a plane passageway, they could still hide in the endless space crevices, which would ensure their safety.
Everyone agreed to Ness' suggestion.
Before they left, Angor bowed deeply to the watcher and thanked him sincerely.
Although the Overseer seemed to be doing nothing, in fact, the Overseer had been overflowing with the Law of Distortion. With the help of the Distortion Domain, the Overseer's attraction to the fruit was greatly reduced in the later stages. Boroye's aura was also weakened by the distortion.
Of course, the watcher didn't do it on purpose, so it wasn't as effective. Still, it helped Angor's group a lot.
Besides, Boroye wouldn't have let them go so easily without the watcher's help.
No matter what, Angor had to thank the watcher.
"I know who you are, Angor. We'll meet again." The Watcher didn't really care about the gratitude.
"I'll wait for you in the dream wasteland, sir." Angor nodded solemnly.
The watcher didn't mean "we'll meet again" in Angor's mind. Instead, it meant that the watcher would find Angor and make a deal with him based on the value of the monocle. No matter what, he would meet Angor again.
However, Angor thought that they would meet in the dream wasteland.
So the dream wasteland could be met from afar?
Was it a spatial item that could be used from a long distance?
The watcher didn't know how it worked yet, but he was getting more and more interested in the dream wasteland and the Mother Tree Network.
The watcher nodded. "Do what you need to do. Stay or leave, it's your choice."
Only then did everyone bow in unison and slowly walk away.
As soon as they left the distortion created by the watcher, the pressure around them grew stronger, and so did the Mystery Fruit's attraction force. However, Angor's Gravity Field was still under control.
Angor took out his Gondola, determined the right direction, and quickly flew away.
The watcher sighed as he watched Gondola disappear into the distance.
Angor's decision to leave was correct. There was still danger ahead.
But danger also meant opportunity. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
Even if he didn't get the Mystery Fruit himself, just witnessing the process from afar would still greatly benefit him on his path of mystery alchemy.
Unfortunately, time was not on his side.
If he was a little bit stronger, he would not run away like this. Instead, he would try his best to find his destiny.
Unfortunately, reality didn't always go as one wished.
Opportunities were fleeting and difficult to come by again.
The watcher did not feel sorry for the others, but Angor was Froste's favorite. Froste believed that Angor could become the next Mystery Alchemist, which was why the watcher felt sorry for him.
…
Angor didn't know what the watcher was thinking. He was leaning against the railing of the ship and looking at the direction of his lab.
If everything went well, they would leave this place soon after picking up Nausica and the others.
Before leaving, Angor thought about his trip to the lab.
This trip to the laboratory had been rushed and unplanned, but they had obtained a lot of things.
What excited him the most wasn't the organs attached to his Soul Equipment. Instead, he found a large number of books copied on Level 5, especially the Metal Dance series. This was all knowledge. While broadening one's horizons, it could also broaden one's horizons and allow one to see other worlds' ideas on alchemy.
Angor was disappointed that there were still several "hunting lists" in the lab. He wished he could take them with him. Those books contained the logic of alchemists from other worlds.
Angor's group also came at the perfect time. Number 01 was about to do something big. The Phantom City was coming for them, and even the watcher showed up. Compared to that, Angor's group couldn't be more insignificant. Even if Reese Society sent someone to investigate this place in the future, they probably wouldn't notice Angor's group.
And even if they did, they wouldn't get into any big trouble. After all, they followed the rules of the lab and didn't take many things. As for the books and knowledge he obtained, he used illusions to copy them instead of taking them directly.
As for the organs of Schiz larvae, Number 01 didn't report them to Reese Society. Reese Society didn't know about them either.
Even if someone from Reese Society came to the southern wizarding region, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Besides, they had a legitimate reason for coming here — to investigate live sacrifices.
If word got out, Reese Society wouldn't be able to get away with it. The Supreme Cult would definitely come after them.
He thought about everything he might have missed and made sure that they would not encounter too much danger in this trip. Only then did he feel relieved.
When he came back to his senses, he heard Filo's voice through the Spirit Bond.
Filo: "Oh right, you were talking about that Bo … something."
"Boroye. Try not to call him by his name. You can use the Spirit Bond. "
Filo: "I understand, Boroye. Did he go in the direction of the laboratory? Is he here for Number 01? So Number 01 doesn't stand a chance, right? "
Filo's voice was tinged with a hint of regret. After hearing Number 01's story, he actually felt a sliver of sympathy for him. Number 01 was the one who did this, but if Filo was in Number 01's shoes, he would have done the same thing to the strange creature.
Because of this, it was only natural that Filo's perspective would be biased. This was why Filo felt slightly regretful.
"Boroye is already there. Number 01 won't stand a chance," Kanter said.
Filo sighed. "That's the sad fate of a small fry."
Angor listened to the conversation through the Spirit Bond but didn't say anything. He didn't want to get involved in this troublesome business. Still, Filo's last question made him wonder if Number 01 really had no chance at all.
Number 01 did seem to have lost his mind, but … Angor didn't see any sign of resignation.
Angor didn't think too much about it.
Time passed. They had left the center of the fog zone and were getting closer and closer to Reef Island.
Everyone became more and more relaxed, because there was almost no pressure at this place.
They were glad to be out of the eye of the storm.
Wait, there was someone who was looking at them with a strange expression.
He noticed that Reynolds, who was sitting on the stern of the ship, was looking at the sky in a daze.
"Reynolds," Angor called out to him.
Reynolds looked back at Angor with a confused expression. "Sir, are you talking to me?"
Angor nodded. "I was going to ask you about your next plan. However, your expression doesn't seem right. Did something happen? "
Reynolds shook his head. "Nothing. I just heard something. I think I heard the sound of the tide."
The sound of the tide? They were at Devil's Water. Wasn't it normal to hear the sound of the tide?
Everyone looked at Reynolds in confusion.
"It's not the real thing. It's … an auditory hallucination? Also, it's not coming from below. It's coming from all directions. Didn't you hear it? "
Angor and Sunders exchanged a confused look. "There's no sound."
"That's strange. I heard it clearly." Reynolds looked up at the sky. "Also, I think the tide is calling me. It's pulling me. My body feels so light. I feel like I can fly into … that place at any time."
"Huh?" Reynolds' logic was touching, and everyone was even more confused.
Reynolds suddenly raised his voice. "Do you hear it? It's louder now. It's like someone's right beside my ears. And it's pulling me … "
Looking at Reynolds' neurotic expression, everyone was a little suspicious. Could it be that he had been separated from his physical body for too long and had become stupid?
Ness, who was leaning against the edge of the boat, suddenly spoke up. "If you want to die, you can follow the sound."
Everyone looked at Ness at the same time.
"You can hear it?" Sunders asked curiously.
Ness shook his head. "I can't hear it either. But I know what Reynolds heard."
Ness didn't beat around the bush. Without pausing, he said, "That's the Sound of Soul Country."
Both Sunders and Kanter were surprised when they heard the name. It was obvious that they had heard of the same name before.
Angor, on the other hand, could only look at Sunders in confusion.
"The Melody of Soul Country is a sign that Cazider World is about to enter the material world. It's a spirit summoning sound that reminds lost souls to return to their homeland."
Nessie added, "All independent souls can hear this voice. I remember you can eject your soul. Why don't you leave your soul and listen? "
He hesitated for a moment and decided to use Spirit Whisper.
As expected, he heard the sound of the tide as soon as his soul left his body. There was also a certain attractive force that lured his soul to a certain place. However, compared to the attraction of the mysterious fruit, it was much weaker.
Sunders continued after Angor's soul returned, "The melody means that soon, the light belt from Cazider World will encircle the current world."
Angor suddenly remembered something. He once asked Freud about how souls ended up in Cazider World.
Freud wasn't a Soul Manipulator, so his answer was vague. According to common knowledge, Cazider World was an existence of a higher dimension, or a moving light belt. When this light belt connected with the Southern Domain, the souls in the Southern Domain could turn around and walk to the Cazider World.
However, it was hard to tell when the light belt would connect with the southern region. Sometimes, it would happen quickly, once every few days. Sometimes, it would take hundreds of years.
"Wizard Ness, you're saying that the southern region is about to connect with Cazider World?" Angor asked.
Ness nodded. "Yes. It's been many years since the last time. I didn't expect it to happen today. "
Seeing Angor's serious expression, Ness spoke casually, "Don't worry. Even if it does, the light belt around the entire southern region will only bring benefits to the living. Otherwise, the world's consciousness will not allow it to appear.
"Even the undead, as long as they are stubborn enough, they will stay behind and not go to Cazider World. That's why your undead subordinates, including Freud and the others, won't leave either. "
"When Cazider World connects with the southern region, the ones who will be affected the most are the undead with chaotic thoughts. They don't have thoughts, and their souls are filled with negative energy. They can't resist the attraction of the light belt. When the light belt disappears, a large number of undead will enter Cazider World. This is a great thing, as it can cleanse the world of filth. "
Kanter added, "Speaking of which, many people are looking forward to the day when Cazider World connects with the southern region."
"Looking forward to it?"
Kanter nodded. "There are many ancient ruins that contain a large number of undead. Many wizards don't want to explore such ruins. But once Cazider World connects with the southern region, at least half of the undead inside will be attracted to the light belt and go to Cazider World. It'll be much easier to explore the ruins then. "
"I think it won't be long before there will be a wave of exploration."
