Neon lights flickered.
The music in the bar continued to play.
The bartenders all had confused expressions, not knowing what exactly happened.
"Let's go"
Gu Qing Shan stood up and left the bar.
Crow and Omaki followed.
The three of them left the bar and walked on the deserted street of the night.
Omaki casually set up a soundproof barrier, then told Gu Qing Shan: "Those wraiths came to kill you, but you're completely unscathed while they all disappeared, this is a huge problem"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's why that dragon just now kept telling me to hide"
Crow asked: "What do you plan to do?"
"I haven't decided yet" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow was a bit surprised and said: "That's not like you — — you should know that wraiths never give up halfway, especially when it comes to killing people. They've already lost a lot of people, so they definitely won't give up"
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, Omaki said: "That chick just now said that the wraiths on the other side have most likely been afflicted by the Dragon Hex, so they won't have any issues for at least a day"
"Then we still need to think of a solution" Crow signaled with his eyes.
— — he was part of Fei Yue's plan, so he knew about Gu Qing Shan's true intentions.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and replied: "I'm thinking"
At this point, Omaki suddenly said: "Ever since returning from the Saint Spirit world, I've been feeling like I'm about to break through, what about you two?"
Gu Qing Shan and Crow exchanged glances and smiled.
"Perverted duck, my Curt Death Silver Crow has already broken through, the same goes for the Dragon King" Crow pridefully said.
Omaki was a bit surprised, then said with a bit of frustration: "And here I thought I was the fastest — — speaking of which, did you two obtain any new abilities?"
Gu Qing Shan thought about how her World Technique was still in the process of breaking through, so she shook her head.
Crow, on the other hand, excitedly said: "My Fortune Seeking and Calamity Avoiding technique has improved greatly, the timeline I can foresee has become longer, and the future I can foresee has also become more accurate. Furthermore, I seem to have obtained a new Divination technique"
"A new Divination technique? Amazing! "Omaki praised.
Crow slowly stopped.
He thought that he should go look for Fei Yue, so he said to Gu Qing Shan and Omaki: "I have to go back too."
Omaki said, "Return to the Hitman Guild?"
Crow laughed and was about to say something when he noticed Gu Qing Shan's vague gaze.
That's right, this is a highly confidential matter, I can't casually talk about it.
Crow abruptly corrected himself: "That's right, recently, there was a new receptionist at the front desk of the Guild, she's quite a beauty"
"Oh? More beautiful than you when you were a woman? "Yu Juan's interest was piqued.
"Of course not" Crow immediately replied.
"If that's the case, I won't be joining in the fun." Omaki waved his hand and walked forward.
"Where are you going?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Where else can I go? Back to the library. I still have a lot of research topics to follow up on," Omaki said helplessly.
"See you later."
"See you later"
Yu Juan's figure flashed, speeding towards the distance, and disappeared very soon.
Crow and Gu Qing Shan stood in the darkness, watching him leave.
"Aren't you going to involve him? He's quite knowledgeable after all "Crow asked.
"There's no need, he's still a bit lacking in terms of combat. If I insist on involving him in the fight against the wraiths, his life would be in danger" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's true, I agree with your point" Crow agreed.
"You're going to where Fei Yue is?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, I'm leaving right now — — if there's anything, come find me at the City Lord's manor" Crow replied.
"It's nothing"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and casually said: "If I don't want the wraiths to find me, they won't be able to find me"
Crow recalled Gu Qing Shan's [Fog Realm Descent] and chuckled: "It's best if you go to a few more worlds, that way you'll be able to run away at any time"
After saying that, just as Gu Qing Shan was about to reply, Crow's eyes were staring straight at him with a terrifying and terrifying expression.
— — it was as if he was looking at a monstrous corpse.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
Crow stared at him without saying a word. Countless black feathers manifested around his body and enveloped him.
Crow began to speak, his voice resembling the sharp sound of metal scraping against metal:
"The Great Flood is coming, the entirety of Void City will have nowhere to run, everyone who goes against the wraiths will die without a place to be buried. And you, Gu Qing Shan, if you don't see that coming, you will only welcome your death!"
As soon as he said so, all the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
Crow's expression returned to normal and grinned: "Alright, I'll be going first, see you later"
"Wait a minute!"
Gu Qing Shan pulled him back.
Crow was confused and asked: "What is it?"
"What did you say just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"— — did I say something just now?" Crow was confused.
He quickly realized and joyfully said: "Ah, right, I've grasped the second [Fortune Seeking Avoidance Technique], sometimes I can say things that even I don't know about"
Gu Qing Shan froze for a split second.
A line of glowing text slowly appeared on the War God UI:
[You've been affected by the power of prophecy: Graveyard]
[Graveyard: Able to accurately foresee the large-scale deaths that are about to occur]
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
Crow's original ability was [Tombstone], which allowed him to alter the course of fate.
Fortunately, this ability was still under Crow's control, allowing him to temporarily alter his words to correct the outcome.
And now, Crow had another type of prophecy ability — — -
[Graveyard] can't be altered, it can foresee the true future!
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned.
Just now, Crow said that 'anyone who goes against the wraiths will die without a proper burial'.
Then, this Apocalypse known as the [Great Flood] is actually under the wraiths' control?
Gu Qing Shan stopped and asked: "Crow, what is the Great Flood?"
Crow's expression changed and hurriedly asked: "Did I just say something about the Great Flood?"
"Yes"
Gu Qing Shan repeated Crow's words.
Crow froze, then said after a long while: "The Great Flood … is a true Unlivable Apocalypse …"
Unlivable Apocalypse.
An Apocalypse that no one could survive.
— — -among the countless geniuses in history, the countless heroes of the void, not a single one of them managed to survive this Apocalypse.
The previous Plague Apocalypse was only Unsolvable, far inferior to the current situation.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank to the bottom.
The wraiths have such power …
How exactly did they do it?
"Crow, immediately tell this to Fei Yue, she's knowledgeable and powerful, so she'll definitely have a solution" Gu Qing Shan immediately said.
"Got it"
Crow understood the severity of the situation, so he vanished without a trace right after saying so.
Gu Qing Shan entered the white fog and left the street.
He directly appeared in the small brick house.
"What's the matter? You don't look too good "Buttercup asked.
"Something happened, I need to confirm it again" Gu Qing Shan replied.
In front of Buttercup, he took out the colorful rooster statue.
Buttercup was surprised: "What is this?"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and pulled on the rooster's comb.
The colorful rooster regained its senses.
This time, it didn't yawn, instead appearing extremely nervous.
"Gu Qing Shan, hurry! Give me Soul Points! I need to tell you something right now! "
"How much?"
"100,000!"
Gu Qing Shan transferred her Soul Points over without hesitation.
Receiving the Soul Points, the colorful rooster let out a long cry before speaking: "Gu Qing Shan, your identity has been exposed, the wraiths know your true identity, they know that you came from the future!"
"How could that be!? Who exposed my identity? "Gu Qing Shan immediately asked.
"I'm not sure, but you already know that the Great Flood is about to erupt, so the only thing I can tell you is that there's a spy by your side. He's betrayed you, so you'll soon fall into certain death!"
Saying so, the colorful rooster turned back into a statue and stopped moving.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned to Buttercup.
Buttercup calmly asked: "Are you suspecting me?"
"I'm not"
Gu Qing Shan walked up to her and said: "Crow predicted the Great Flood, and there's currently a spy by my side. I want you to immediately find Fei Yue, she's a Fate Artifact Master, as well as the strongest person in Void City. Wait for me at her place, I'll come find you in a bit!"
"And then what?" Buttercup asked.
"And then we'll have to run — — - an Unlivable Apocalypse isn't a joke" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Why aren't you suspecting me?" Buttercup asked.
"Hm? Why would I suspect you? "Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
Buttercup stared at him for a while before replying: "Alright, I'll have to go find the Tower Master first, do you mind?"
"I don't mind, do as you wish, we'll meet at the City Lord's manor in a bit — – hurry!" Gu Qing Shan said.
Little Butterfly nodded and disappeared from where she stood.
The only person left in the room was Gu Qing Shan.
Standing in the darkness, he recalled everything that had happened since he arrived at Void City.
There were only two people who knew so much about him.
One was Crow, and the other was Omaki.
Crow knew his real name.
Omaki didn't know.
Could it be Crow?
No, Crow's expression didn't change at all even after learning about his prophecy.
He even went to the City Lord's manor as I requested.
At this point, I could've used [Fog Realm Descent] to escape.
If it was Crow, he wouldn't have made such a mistake.
Or …
Omaki?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, but couldn't help but feel confused.
"Knowing that I would use [Fog Realm Descent], he was still confident that he could kill me, unless …"
He took out the ring of light and checked it again.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Hovering ring-shaped light bulb, technological product, capable of emitting seven different lights, capable of detecting the environment, observing the state of battle, as well as summoning angels]
Reading this line of text, Gu Qing Shan pondered.
"He probably wasn't being controlled, but rather standing on the side of the wraiths"
"No, I have to find out the truth"
Gu Qing Shan turned around and entered the white fog.
…
At another location.
The Church of Splendor.
Omaki entered the main hall and followed the two angels through the various buildings.
Finally, he arrived at a building at the deepest part of the church.
The six angels came forward and knelt down on one knee to greet him.
"Holy Son, you've returned"
They spoke in unison.
Boundless holy light radiated from Omaki's body as a pair of pure-white wings appeared on his back.
He coldly nodded and said: "Among the church's donors, there's a person called Dragon King of Atrocity Jail. You should discuss with the wraiths and kill him"
"Understood!"
