Qin and the other staff member had already left, preparing to exchange the heads of the human traffickers for the bounty.
In the end, Liz didn't dare to disobey the angel — — that would be the same as going against the Splendid Temple.
She could only reluctantly leave.
Only Gu Qing Shan, Crow, and — — the familiar angel.
Their gazes were focused on the glowing ring above the angel's head.
"So, you're no longer a librarian?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Omaki sighed: "I came out to hide for two days, but I happened to see Crow in trouble, so I helped him out"
"You're no longer in the Void Library?"
Gu Qing Shan and Crow both asked.
Omaki was a bit dispirited: "As a librarian, I faced the Apocalypse every day in search of knowledge, risking my life and risking my life, but I wasn't even allowed to go to a concert after I returned. Living without any personal space like this is completely meaningless"
"That's true" Crow agreed.
"Then why did you turn into an angel?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You mean this?"
Omaki followed their gazes and took off the glowing ring above his head.
"A hovering circular light bulb, a product of technology, capable of changing into seven colors according to personal preference" Omaki pridefully introduced it.
Gu Qing Shan and Crow were both stunned.
"So you weren't an angel from the Splendid Temple after all" Crow sighed in relief.
"Why do you seem so scared?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Those angels are really rigid, I don't want to have anything to do with them" Crow replied.
Omaki pressed a certain part of the ring.
The glowing white ring turned into a faint pink color.
"Ah, this color is really cute, is it a pink angel?" Crow asked.
Omaki raised his thumb: "You know your stuff, this is a limited edition proof of believers"
Gu Qing Shan received the ring of light, then asked: "Omaki, aren't you afraid of the Church finding out that you're pretending to be an angel?"
"The Church gave it to me." Omaki puffed out his chest.
Looking at Gu Qing Shan's puzzled expression, he explained, "I often donate to the Church. When I reach a certain amount, the angels gave me this halo, which means that I am a mortal under the protection of the Church."
"How much money did you donate?" Crow asked.
Omaki said a number.
Crow whistled, saying: "I didn't think you'd be so rich"
"Is it true that the more money we donate to the church, the better the reward we get?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, if you can donate an astronomical figure, then you can be reincarnated as a true angel, or even be given a certain amount of authority" Crow replied.
"Yeah, money is everything. Which force doesn't want money?" Omaki said.
As Gu Qing Shan listened to their conversation, she couldn't help but think of Lola.
He could bring Lola to Void City in the future.
This would be her home turf.
Crow asked in a low voice: "Omaki, where did you get so much money to exchange the lightbulbs with the angels?"
Omaki lowered his voice: "This is all of my research funds — — I'm currently researching the relationship between money and the Church's authority"
"Research does require a lot of money, where did your funds come from?" Gu Qing Shan followed up with another question.
"Evil creatures" Omaki replied.
"… Alright, I should've guessed, only evil creatures would be interested in the Church" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Omaki looked down at his watch, then immediately said: "— — I'll talk to you later, I need to go to a concert"
"Ah, we also have something to do, see you later"
"See you"
The three of them flickered and flew off in two different directions.
…
The City Lord's manor.
The secret room.
The woman walked around Crow, then nodded to Gu Qing Shan.
"Your appearance is quite decent, I heard that you've dressed as a woman before, but I'm not sure if you've been controlled" the woman said.
Gu Qing Shan took out the black handbook and chanted an incantation.
Divine Word – Ring.
A flash of light enveloped Crow.
He was completely unharmed.
"Curt Death Silver Crow, I trust that Gu Qing Shan has already told you everything — — are you willing to disguise as me and enter the Wraith realm?" the woman asked.
Crow turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "My real name is Gu Qing Shan"
"Since you're willing to tell me your real name, your original race isn't an evil creature, correct?" Crow asked.
"Correct, I'm human, for safety's sake, I didn't tell you before" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow appeared prideful, then said: "I knew you weren't an evil creature"
"Why not?"
"Because you're much more ruthless than an evil creature"
"…"
Crow turned back to the City Lord's daughter, silently marveling at her beauty, but kept a straight face: "Esteemed lady, may we have the honor of learning your name?"
"I am the Fate Master Fei Yue, the daughter of Void City's City Lord, and I am currently in charge of the entirety of Void City" the woman replied.
"Fate Master!" Crow was shocked, then couldn't help but ask: "Are all of your techniques Fate-type?"
"That's right, you're about to disguise as me, while Gu Qing Shan has the same goal as me. I trust him, as well as the person who recommended him — — so you should know a bit about me now"
Fei Yue opened her palm and spoke with a calm expression: "All of my abilities are Fate-type, the most important of which is called [Hidden Threads]"
A thin black thread appeared from all five of her fingers, went straight into the void, and disappeared without a trace.
A second later.
A thread was lightly attached to Crow's shoulder.
"Is this a guaranteed hit?" Crow looked at his own shoulder and asked.
"Indeed, I've seen the connection between us" Fei Yue replied, "I will prepare the payment you want after this is over"
Crow was surprised: "You know what payment I want? What exactly is this ability about? "
Fei Yue explained: "Living beings, all things, everything, I can see the connection between them through a few extrapolations, then use this connection to discover the truth, predict the future, launch an attack, or do something else at the right time"
Crow thought for a bit, then his expression turned serious.
If I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't even need to meet them, I only need to find something related to them to do it.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything, but was thinking of Lin.
Lin also had a Fate-type ability.
[Existence]
Both [Existence] and [Hidden Threads] were abilities that were almost impossible to counter.
— — Fate-type abilities are truly terrifying.
As Fei Yue pulled her hand back, the five black threads that went deep into the void of space disappeared without a trace.
"Now that you have a basic understanding of me, Crow, you must imitate my words and actions for the next half a month to pass off as the real me" Fei Yue said.
"No problem, but my strength has already reached a bottleneck and I'm about to break through, so I might need a bit more time" Crow replied.
Fei Yue looked at him, then at Gu Qing Shan: "Indeed, the Saint Spirit world that you went to had immense World Origin power, so after fighting there for a while, your personal strength had also greatly improved"
"Before leaving, Gu Qing Shan also has a chance to advance, but that will depend on his luck"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Advancing to Star River Saint realm wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight, so even he himself hadn't noticed any signs of advancement yet.
"Crow, you have one and a half days to advance, then it will be over immediately, come find me at that time" Fei Yue said.
"One and a half days is enough" Crow nodded.
Fei Yue then turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "Your advancement is imperative, I can sense that your life and death will depend on this advancement"
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If you don't advance, you will face countless difficulties after entering the Wraith realm. Only after advancing and your strength greatly increases would our plans have a chance of being realized"
"… I don't know too much about this advancement, so I want to borrow a few cultivation books from the City Lord's manor" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Star River Saint.
There was a huge gap between Sumeru Lord realm and Star River Saint realm.
Who would've thought, this gap would be filled up by an extremely powerful world.
However, the advancement to Star River Saint was different from the other realms of cultivation, and Gu Qing Shan didn't know too much about Star River Saints.
This realm was too mysterious.
"No problem, I'll give it to you right now"
Saying so, Fei Yue casually waved her hand.
Boom!
The ground trembled.
A piece of white jade that was several hundred meters long appeared in the secret room.
"This is a collection of advanced cultivation knowledge from the City Lord's manor, compiled into a large jade tag, keep it safe" Fei Yue told him.
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the white jade and put it back into her Inventory Bag.
"Thank you, I can't thank you enough" he clasped his fist.
"No need to thank me, I'm only doing this for the sake of our plan. Gu Qing Shan, the stronger you are, the greater our chances of success" Fei Yue smiled and said.
"I still need to thank you, I'll be leaving right now, I'll return as soon as I finish my advancement" Gu Qing Shan said in a low voice.
Fei Yue and Crow both nodded.
Gu Qing Shan walked into the white fog and disappeared from the secret room.
