In the dusty biology lab, Griffith was very interested in the Otherworld that Yu Liya mentioned.
He couldn't wait to know more.
"What kind of world is that?"
Yu Liya got a chance to breathe. She opened her mouth and said, "Living in such a barren world, you can never imagine the beauty of that place! There are no wars there, and the resources are abundant. All the races live in harmony! The people living there are active, passionate, and cheerful. Children can grow up in the way they like, and adults won't have a moment of collapse. "
"Impossible!" Griffith sneered. "There's no such place in this world!"
"That's why I said that it's another world, the Otherworld that people know!" Yu Liya said seriously, "Don't use your shallow knowledge to try to understand the truth that you can't understand, but it really exists!"
The woman in front of him said with certainty, and Griffith couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Why should I believe you?" Griffith shook his head.
"I can't prove it." Yu Liya said indifferently, "Because this is a secret that only exists between Nosta, Assaches, and me. We come from the same place. It's a free country that you've never seen before. "
Griffith said indifferently, "Is that so? Since it's such a beautiful world … why did you come here? "
Yu Liya opened her mouth but didn't say anything. In the end, she stammered, "Of course … because something happened."
In an instant, Yu Liya felt suffocated.
Griffith's pale hand had already grabbed her neck. She could even feel that the fragile bones in her neck would break at any time.
[Yulia] struggled in pain and frantically slapped Griffith's chest. However, this kind of struggle was nothing more than a tickle to Griffith, who had a strong body.
Griffith slowly raised Yu Liya. "Why did Nosta come to you? What secrets do you have between you? "
"I … I didn't lie to you … It's true … What I said is … all true …"
Griffith sneered and increased his strength again.
Yu Liya's face turned green. Her legs kicked in the air. "Door … There's a door … A door that connects two worlds … Door … Door … Door —!!"
Griffith was silent. He had almost reached the limit of his control. If he increased his strength a little more, he could crush the woman's throat. Even if he didn't move, the woman would die of suffocation after a while.
Time ticked by. Griffith didn't increase his strength but under the suffocation, [Yulia]'s eyeballs started to bulge.
Griffith frowned and suddenly loosened his grip. [Yulia] instantly fell to the ground.
She was powerless. She was drooling in pain. She used her mouth and nose to breathe and cough … She really had a close brush with death.
Griffith lifted his leg. Yu Liya moved back in fear. She hugged her body and curled up. Trembling, she said, "I didn't lie to you … I didn't …"
Griffith squatted down and thought for a while. "Is that the door of the shadow?"
Yu Liya was still trembling in fear. "I don't know … We … Nosta, Assaches, and I are all adventurous … We found that door in an ancient relic … Nosta, he accidentally triggered it. The door opened and sucked us in. "
"The time doesn't match. You are just a normal human. Nosta and Rose Countess appeared at least 15 years ago. But you are not old."
"I … I don't know why …" Yu Liya shook her head. "The time between the two worlds is not equal … I was only a few steps late when I was sucked in by the door, but I am already so far behind Nosta and Assaches …"
Griffith was silent.
"Where is that door?" he suddenly asked.
"It disappeared." Yu Liya smiled bitterly. "At least, when I woke up, I didn't see it … I'm afraid we were randomly teleported. During the selection, Nosta recognized me and took me away as the winner. After we briefly discussed our situation, we were attacked by Hercules and Mr. Allen before we could talk about it in detail. You know what happened after that. "
Griffith furrowed his brows.
Yu Liya said hesitantly, "Nosta was locked up by Assaches. I know Assaches is really angry, but he won't really kill Nosta. Because they and I are good friends … Assaches is just angry. I will persuade him to release Nosta. No matter what you say, in this place, only the three of us are true companions … "
"Nosta is already dead," Griffith said suddenly.
[Yuliya]'s face paled. She opened her mouth, and in the silence, a tear fell from the corner of her left eye … Lowering her head, [Yuliya] subconsciously wiped the tear stains on her face … She lightly covered her mouth, as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out.
"He … how did he … die?"
"The Count killed him with his own hands," Griffith said calmly.
"Impossible!" Yu Liya suddenly shouted in agitation. "You lied to me! Assaches definitely wouldn't do that! They are blood brothers!! How could he!! "
"They are blood brothers?" Griffith was startled.
— Do you think I'll be imprisoned here forever?
— You don't understand. No one understands the relationship between Assaches and me … He won't really kill me. — Think about it. Why did I gain his trust after all these years? "
— I know a secret about him. "
— Because of this secret, he won't kill me … I'll regain everything sooner or later!
No one would understand that the relationship between Nosta and Arthashis was a secret. If what this woman said was true, it seemed … explainable.
"Don't worry. Nosta isn't dead." But at this time, Griffith said calmly, "I lied to you, I just wanted to see your reaction … You acted well, I almost believed you."
Yu Liya turned and stared at Griffith angrily. She looked like a female leopard that would have pounced on him if not for the fact that she couldn't defeat him.
"Besides, it was he who asked me to lead you to the dungeon," Griffith said calmly, "Of course, you weren't lured."
If the three of them were really companions from the otherworld, it seemed reasonable that Nosta wanted to plead with Assaches through Yu Liya. However, Griffith instinctively felt that there was something fishy going on.
The otherworld hypothesis was too vague. He still couldn't believe it.
"Take me to him." Yu Liya took a deep breath and said, "Let him tell you personally whether I'm lying or not."
"Don't worry. I will." Griffith said calmly, "But not now … Wait until the people from the God Bless Church leave. Do you know why Nosta wants to see you? "
"Because …" Yu Liya opened her mouth subconsciously. Then she suddenly changed the topic, "I think he … he wants me to plead with Assaches for him."
She tilted her head and let her hair hang down, covering half of her face. However, she seemed to be looking at something out of the corner of her eyes.
Griffith caught Yu Liya's little movement clearly. He reached out his hand at lightning speed — toward Yu Liya!
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
Yu Liya covered her bloody ear in shock and anger. At the same time, a blood-stained earring appeared in Griffith's hand.
It was torn off from Yu Liya's ear.
"Give it back —!"
Yu Liya threw herself at Griffith recklessly. However, she was no match for a vampire.
"You seem to be very nervous about this earring?" Griffith, who easily subdued Yu Liya, chuckled. He reached out his hand again and pulled off the other earring of Yu Liya.
"You … you misunderstood me. It's just my instinct …" Yu Liya panicked, "It's not important."
"Then I'll break it," Griffith said directly. He put one of the earrings on the ground and lifted his leg.
"No! It's … it's my mother's relic! I beg you! "[Yulia] immediately begged," I can't lose it! "
Griffith had already stepped on it.
But at this moment, [Yulia] directly stretched out her hand and covered the earring … This step directly stepped on her palm.
[Yulia] screamed in pain.
Griffith ignored her and lifted his leg again.
Yu Liya said in panic, "You can't break it! You can't break it! If you break it, I won't be able to return to my original world … I beg you! I'll do anything you want me to do! I beg you! You … you can suck my blood! I'll be your slave! Really! This is my only hope! "
"What exactly is this?" Griffith was still stepping on Yu Liya's palm.
"We found this in the historical remains when we were exploring …" Yu Liya said with a pained expression, "I took one, Norsta also took one, and Assaches had one … There are grooves for these gems on the door. This is the key to open the door. "
"Norsta is looking for you because of your key?"
"No, he … he wants me to steal Asashis's key from him." Yu Liya said faintly, "I don't know what happened to the two brothers in the past ten years … I have a feeling that Norsta wanted to abandon Assaches and leave alone. However, he had no choice but to continue staying by Assaches's side. "
"Why?"
"Because of the door." Yu Liya smiled bitterly and said, "Norsta isn't a research genius, but Assaches is very good at it. Norsta told me that Assaches seemed to have found traces of the door after ten years of research … Also, this door that can connect the two worlds seems to have been built from this world! Norsta still needs to rely on Assaches to find the location of the door, so he has to continue staying by his side … "
No wonder Rose Countess had been collecting ancient documents from all over the world all these years. It turns out … Griffith was moved. He thought to himself, The door was built here?
Rose Countess's behavior had always been very strange.
How could she trust Norsta?
Norsta wasn't her Embrace target.
Norsta wasn't afraid at all.
Norsta and Rose Countess both treated Yu Liya very differently.
Could it be that there really was a door that could lead to another world … Moreover, it was a dream world where there was no war and people didn't have to fight for resources?
A real dream world …
"Miss Yu Liya, I won't easily believe you," Griffith said calmly. Griffith said indifferently, "Unless I see it with my own eyes, otherwise … I will temporarily keep this pair of earrings for you."
At this time, Griffith violently pried open [Yulia]'s fingers that were grabbing onto the earrings. In the end, under her resentful gaze, he directly swallowed the pair of earrings into his mouth.
Yu Liya's face instantly turned ashen.
"You don't have to despair." Griffith glanced at her and said calmly, "If what you said is true, I will naturally return the earrings to you … Besides, if there really is such a dream world, I am also very interested."
Yu Liya seemed to have thought of something terrifying. Her voice trembled as she said, "You … You want to …"
"What? Am I not welcome?" Griffith smiled faintly.
Yu Liya seemed to have gone crazy. "No! I won't allow it! I won't let you go to my hometown! You are a vampire. Once you go there … It will be a disaster! An unprecedented disaster! Even if I die, I won't … "
"Norsta and Rose Countess, aren't they vampires?" Griffith sneered.
[Yulia] was instantly rendered speechless. It was as if her soul had been sucked out of her body. She muttered to herself, "The free and fair Goddess of Dawn, what have I done …"
Goddess of Dawn?
A religion from another world … Griffith's heart skipped a beat. He secretly remembered the name of this goddess.
"What's your relationship with Norsta?" Griffith suddenly asked.
Yu Liya said faintly, "He is my adoptive father."
Griffith nodded his head casually. "Wait here. I will go out and check the situation."
After saying that, Griffith left through the secret passageway in the mezzanine.
He opened the door to the secret passageway and then closed it again. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood outside the wall and listened.
A faint sobbing sound slowly entered Griffith's ears.
"Father, can we still go back to our hometown … Father, where are you? I am scared … I am really scared …"
"I want to go back …"
"Hometown …"
"Our home …"
The sobbing sound gradually calmed down … However, Griffith's heart was not calm.
"An alternate world like Utopia, huh …"
He slowly sighed and instantly disappeared into the darkness of the secret passageway.
