Due to the explosion caused by the gas leak, the Blazing Hot Lips Bar had turned into a dilapidated building — of course, this was what was announced to the public.
The sky was a bit gloomy. At this time, in the basement of the destroyed Blazing Hot Lips Bar, several figures were welcomed.
They were Charlotte, Wolfgang, and Noah, whose face was covered by a hood.
When Wolfgang brought this friend to visit, Charlotte deliberately wanted to observe this person from the Transcendents organization. However, no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to peek at this person's face.
She only knew that this person was called Noah. Apart from that, she knew nothing. For Charlotte, Noah's existence was somewhat strange — it was as if although this person was standing in front of her, they were separated by countless worlds … an extreme sense of distance.
"What did His Highness Lucifer encounter in the end …" Wolfgang sized up the surroundings of the bar's basement.
This was the first place where Lucifer's power was released. It was also the place that bore the brunt of Lucifer's power the closest. Wolfgang picked up a marble fragment from the ground. The moment his finger touched it, the entire marble fragment turned into dust in an instant.
Wolfgang stood up, patted the dust off his hand, and shook his head. Then, he looked at Noah. "Noah?"
Noah nodded. Then, he passed by Wolfgang and Charlotte and arrived at the basement after the battle. He stretched out his jade-like hand from his robe and slightly opened his five fingers.
A unique looking book with a cover floated in front of Noah's palm. He quickly flipped it open. At the same time, circles of ripples began to appear under Noah's feet. The ripples spread out, covering the entire basement in circles.
The entire basement's environment began to rapidly change … returning to its original state!
The shattered stones, the rotten sofa … everything returned to its original state. Charlotte could not help but let out a cry of surprise. However, Wolfgang said, "This is not returning things to their original state. It is just returning time to the past. This is just the remnant effects of time."
In other words, it was a technique similar to a projection — but even so, it was enough to make Charlotte feel amazed by Noah — if he was not someone who dabbled in the law of time, he would naturally not be able to do this.
This guy, even in the Transcendents organization, he should be a special member, right?
With that thought in mind, the basement returned to its original state — light, softness, luxury, and colors that made Charlotte intoxicated. This place was filled with her and Lucifer's memories.
Suddenly, the basement's door, 'Lucifer' and 'Charlotte', walked in.
They directly passed through the bodies of Wolfgang and the other two, and finally arrived at the center of the basement, where they were discussing something.
The image of time!
At this moment, Charlotte suddenly felt a sense of fear in front of Noah's strength — if he could even peek into time, what secrets would there be in this world for this mysterious guy?
Charlotte could not help but feel nervous — but her nervousness did not last long. In the image of time before her eyes, 'Lucifer' was taking out a page from Wolfgang's book and discussing it with 'Charlotte'.
Charlotte knew that this was not good because she clearly remembered that Lucifer should be discussing with her how he tricked Wolfgang — and now, the main character was here.
Charlotte could not help but sneak a peek at Wolfgang and quietly reach her hand behind her back — but at this time, Noah suddenly waved his hand, and the strange book in his hand instantly flipped to a page.
The image of time in front of her was like a fast-forwarded movie. It skipped a lot of content and came to a few seconds before 'Lucifer's' power erupted.
Charlotte could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief … Noah fast-forwarded this part. She did not know if it was intentional or just because he wanted to get the most important information directly.
At this time, in the image of time.
"I don't know who you are, but don't you plan to pay a little price for having designs on my prey?"
When 'Lucifer' said this sentence, it was the scene in Charlotte's memory … The great Queen of Hell vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
After this, it was not different from Charlotte's memory. 'Lucifer' began to reveal a corner of her true power. Next, it would be a competition between 'Lucifer' and the mysterious chain.
However, what made Charlotte feel inconceivable was that the scene in the image of time at this moment was somewhat different from what happened in her memory …
'Lucifer' disappeared, and those mysterious chains also disappeared! However, the basement was still suffering severe damage. 'Charlotte' also hit the wall due to the impact of some force!
"How could this be!" Charlotte couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
If the image of time in front of her was compared to a recorded videotape, then in this video, the existence of 'Lucifer' and those chains seemed to have been directly taken away by someone. They became things that suddenly destroyed themselves, and the strange impression of 'Charlotte' suddenly hitting the wall!
Wolfgang frowned and said nothing about this strange impression. Noah waved his hand again and flipped the strange book forward.
The image of time returned to the time before 'Lucifer' vomited blood and fell to the ground. Then, it continued to play in sequence.
Even when it was played again, 'Lucifer' still disappeared in the following image.
"Hmm?" Noah made a puzzled sound and rewound the image of time again – however, after repeating the operation several times, it still could not change the fact that 'Lucifer' had been erased.
"Hmm …" Finally, Noah closed his book and fell silent.
"Noah?" Wolfgang waited for a moment, but in the end, he was somewhat impatient. "What happened?"
Noah said slowly, "Someone erased this fact … erased it from the plane of time."
"God's Forbidden Zone? Who could it be? "Wolfgang suddenly became somewhat solemn.
Time and space, even in the organization of Transcendents, were quite rigorous and important topics. It was a domain that most Transcendents could not touch.
They referred to time and space as forbidden zones.
The forbidden zones of time, space, and life — these three were collectively known as the Three Great Forbidden Zones, and were ultimately categorized into the domain of the gods.
They were the true definition of gods, and not the gods that could be recognized in human consciousness today.
"It might not be the true Forbidden Zone of the Gods." Noah mused. "For example, my gemstone sword can do something similar, but it's used to cut through space. Therefore, some special primordial treasures might be able to do it as well. Even individuals born with the power of time might be able to do it. "
"Could the chain that Charlotte mentioned be such a primordial treasure?" Wolfgang asked solemnly.
However, Noah only shook his head. "In the long history of time, I have never come across a chain that could control time … Any trace of Lucifer has been erased here, and this is no longer something that could be done by something that has just stepped into the Forbidden Zone of Time."
"In other words, we still can't find Lucifer, right?" Charlotte was not in the mood to care about this. She was only concerned about Lucifer's whereabouts. At this time, her tone was somewhat dissatisfied. Wolfgang, didn't you say that you were very powerful, but in the end, you were not completely ignorant?
"Let's leave here first." Noah waved his hand coldly.
Wolfgang realized something … Transcendents were always monitored by the world's will. Although they used special methods to make themselves immune to the gaze of the world's will for a short time, it was not a long-term solution.
In particular, if Transcendents used their power in the Origin World, the duration of their immunity would be greatly reduced. Therefore, Transcendents could only move around in the Origin World for a very short time with their own power.
This time, Noah directly used the power of the 'Book of Space', which might have caused a reaction from the world's will.
Wolfgang quickly nodded, then quickly left this place with Noah, not even bothering to say goodbye to Charlotte.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?" Charlotte was a little confused by the two's actions and froze on the spot.
Then, she heard Wolfgang's voice from afar, "Miss Charlotte, don't worry, we will come to find you again soon."
"What the hell?" Charlotte didn't know whether to laugh or cry … These Transcendents were simply unreliable. It was better to use her own divination skills, hey!
Charlotte sighed and simply took out her crystal ball.
But at this time, a brawny man wearing a wrestling mask quickly walked out of the ruins to Charlotte. The brawny man lowered his head and said, "Lady Charlotte, I still can't find traces of my brother and Qi Qi. They also disappeared …"
"What?"
The brawny man and the three-headed hound, Qi Qi, were sent by Charlotte not long ago to search for a missing three-star demon, but unexpectedly, after they went, they also disappeared. This made Charlotte feel the seriousness of her loss of composure.
As the queen, Lucifer disappeared, and now the demons under her were also disappearing one after another. This made Charlotte suddenly feel that something in the darkness was controlling everything.
Charlotte gritted her teeth and suddenly said resolutely, "Summon all the demons back. Tonight, I want to perform a blood sacrifice … I want to use the great divination skill!"
The younger brother was stunned. He opened his mouth, but he did not dare to disobey Charlotte's orders and could only leave quickly.
The so-called blood sacrifice was a ritual that used the lives of demons as sacrifices to greatly increase the accuracy of divination. I just don't know … can this great divination skill defeat Lady Charlotte's innate 'guiding light' attribute?
"I feel like there's a bottomless abyss ahead …"
The younger brother sighed and began to summon the demons hidden in this city.
…
…
The sound of the shower head drowned out the sound of talking.
In the bathroom of Dormitory 403, Arnaud was talking to Boston. Because he had to take the college exam these few days, and because he had to keep an eye on Caroline, Arnaud did not exchange identities with Haley. But he could not leave Boston and his gang alone.
Arnaud knew very well what kind of people were in Boston's gang: they were a group of people with poor self-control, brainless, and prone to making mistakes.
Arnaud did not like to see his efforts wasted because of these guys' momentary laxity.
At present, there were two main things that Arnaud ordered the Boston gang to do. The first was to temporarily stabilize the sales of bath salts and let the powerful big shots investigate and kill each other. His side would temporarily lie low and wait for the opportunity. In fact, Arnaud was already considering whether to create some conflicts for these big shots to speed up the consumption of strength among them.
The other thing was to follow Mr. Carlo's lead. Because there was a large amount of wealth from a high-end apartment here, Carlo intended to cheat Nia out of her life-saving money, and Arnaud intended to eat up all of it.
"Mr. Carlo has been to a lot of places these few days and has seen a lot of people. It seems that the property sale should be completed soon."
On the other end of the phone, the person who reported to Arnaud was the 'big cousin' who had been sent to follow Carlo.
Arnaud nodded with satisfaction and then carefully gave a few instructions to the 'big cousin'. After that, he called Boston and asked about Haley's current situation.
When he learned that Haley's mood had become more and more unstable in the past few days, Arnaud did not say anything. Haley had a strong tendency to violence, otherwise, he would not have killed their father by mistake back then.
In fact, Haley would act up almost every once in a while, so it would be fine as long as he was locked up for a period of time to calm down his mania.
Arnaud thought about how he had stabbed Haley's palm with a knife in the classroom last time. After that, it reminded Haley of the bad things back then. The impact on him was too great, so it was not particularly strange that he needed some time to calm down.
Therefore, he said to Boston on the other end of the phone, "Continue to lock him up. It's not the first time anyway. Wait until he calms down."
On the other end of the phone, Boston responded casually and then suddenly said, "Boss, are we really not selling medicine recently? Our brothers have been spending a lot recently, and we can't hold on to the remaining money. Do you think … "
"I said, don't sell it for the time being." Arnaud frowned, but he knew that to control Boston and the others, he could not blindly use high-pressure policies, so he promised, "I got it. I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to you later. You can take it and share it with your brothers. Spend it sparingly. As long as we get through this period, we won't have to worry about anything in the future. Patience is the key to success. "
"Got it, Boss Arnold," Big Brother Boston replied weakly.
Arnaud then gave a few simple instructions before hanging up the phone. After that, he began to wash up and walked out of the bathroom.
At this time, Caroline was carrying a pot of apple pie from the microwave to the table. When she saw Arnaud coming out, she smiled and said, "I made this according to the recipe. I don't know if it tastes good. Come and try it."
Arnaud looked at the flour still stuck to Caroline's nose, smiled, and walked over. "Okay."
Arnaud narrowed his eyes as he looked at Caroline who was cutting the apple pie with a knife. He was a little unclear about what happened between Caroline and Haley when he was pretending to be him, but he could clearly feel that Caroline had a good impression of the identity of 'Arnaud'.
Perhaps it was just a temporary emotion that arose when they were going through hardships together, or perhaps it was a means that Caroline used to get better help. Women liked to bind men with emotions.
But no matter which it was, Caroline should now be in a state of relying on the identity of 'Arnaud' … Thinking of this, Arnaud picked up a tissue and patted Caroline on the shoulder.
While Caroline was still in shock, Arnaud carefully wiped the flour off her nose with a tissue.
At this time, the campus broadcast suddenly rang, announcing that the exam scheduled for tomorrow would be temporarily postponed for a day. Instead, they would go to the auditorium to participate in a commemorative event.
Arnaud just frowned when he heard that the exam was canceled. After all, Haley's condition was unstable now, and he hadn't gotten what he wanted from Caroline, so he wasn't in a hurry.
However, Caroline was obviously stunned.
Because she heard the broadcast mention who this commemorative event was held for … Dr. Franky.
The old man who told her about her miserable situation in front of the artificial lake … Is he dead?
"Caroline, what's wrong with you?" Arnaud noticed Caroline's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Caroline shook her head. "Speaking of which, is this your college? I remember that one of your degrees is in the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, right? "
Arnaud nodded helplessly. "Yes, I actually have to attend by name. It seems that I have to attend. But it's good to mourn. After all, I've attended Dr. Franky's classes several times. He is indeed a very talented person. "
"So … you know him?"
Arnaud said casually, "It's just an invitation class. We met in the big class. We know him, but he doesn't know us … Let's not talk about this. Let me have a taste. It's getting cold."
