"Oh, so that's how it is …"
After listening to Du Dao's Chestnut and I complement each other's descriptions, Jingle's two pairs of wings flapped rapidly behind her back. She 'sat' cross-legged in the air, looking like a little adult in deep thought. This awkward and spirited pose caused Du Dao to stare at her.
"They can't go back because their world is already at its end? Ah Jun, that's right. If that's the case, we definitely can't send them back. That would be too pitiful!"
"So, is it possible to think of a way for them to stay in the City of Shadows?"
I threw out my own problem. From what I saw, this should be an easy problem to solve. Anyway, there are already quite a number of foreign clients living in the City of Shadows. Look at the Osaka sisters and the Salvation Army. Which one of them is a local resident? Aren't they still living here in peace and contentment?
"It will be very difficult." Contrary to my expectations, I originally thought that as long as Jingle nodded her head, she would be able to settle down here like the Osaka sisters. It would be an easy problem to solve, but there were still twists and turns. "Transmigrators, I mean those people who moved without the permission of the relevant Gods. They are different from the Osaka sisters. When the latter came over, Jingle knew about it beforehand, so this world treated them as guests in advance. The same goes for the people in the City of Shadows and Avalon. They were all registered by Jingle in advance. However, transmigrators, when they came to this world, they came with illegal identities. Even if Jingle agrees to let them move in now, the world will still record the history of their illegal invasion …"
In other words, the Osaka sisters were equivalent to legal immigrants who had completed the procedures in advance, so they wouldn't be sent back. On the other hand, transmigrators were illegal immigrants who went to the local authorities to apply for a temporary residence permit. Even if you were an uncle in the local authorities, your identity would still be a stowaway.
Unless it was like Liliana back then, who almost had her soul destroyed, becoming a stowaway was a predicament that all transmigrators had to face.
Moreover, the recording process seemed to be completed by the world itself, and Jingle couldn't … or simply wouldn't change it.
Hearing this unacceptable truth from the little "God" in front of her, even though she didn't fully understand it, Chestnut's entire body stiffened. She looked at him for help. Even when she was besieged by zombies, she didn't feel the same sense of helplessness that she had never felt when she swung her longsword and fought alone. It made this girl, who was supposed to be enjoying her high school life, feel lost.
I could understand her current situation. Even if they were known as the Cockroach Combination (…), these people who came here to study the Silent Revelation are only high school students. Perhaps people can rely on their perseverance to burst forth with superhuman courage and strength, but that's just a burst of strength. They aren't special forces. As long as they relax a little, the courage that these students have accumulated would instantly collapse. I dare to bet that after experiencing the few days of relaxation in the City of Shadows, if I were to send them back to the zombie-besieged world, they wouldn't be able to hold on for another day.
Even a strong girl like Poison Island Chestnut, who was respectfully called "Senpai" by many, was the same. Her swordsmanship and so-called "violent tendencies" couldn't change the fact that she was 18 years old. Driving a Gundam at 14 years old was nothing more than the wild dreams of otakus. Minors should be enjoying the sun and rain at home — — even though my Little Bubble killed Gilgamesh at the age of 1 and a half.
This time, I digressed from the topic to no end.
Facing Chestnut's pleading gaze, I only shrugged my shoulders and revealed an expression that said, "Just wait and see".
Young lady, you still don't understand the God of this world. She is a …
"Jingle, think about it. There seems to be a loophole in this rule …"
This is a God who can firmly find loopholes in the Law of the Gods, and even her own Law!
The God who is used to finding loopholes in the Law of the Gods doesn't blush at all as he started to look into what loopholes he could find this time. I felt that allowing this fellow to become the God of World Management must be the result of God Father's drunkenness. However, I can't deny that this side of Jingle always brings me many surprises.
"Jingle, ask the others." The little goddess racked her brains for a long time, but she couldn't find a way to allow stowaways to bypass the World Records to apply for a visa. However, she seems to have other methods. "Un, Jingle should have placed that thing here … Ah, I got it! I can use this to contact them! "
The thing that Jingle took out was a small crystal, about the size of a peanut. It was held in the little one's hands. Could this be the phone used by the Gods? Something that can make long-distance calls across dimensions?
"Hello! Is Tifania there? Oh, you are her archbishop. I am Jingle … Un un, Tifania, so you are also the God of Management. Jingle has something to ask you about transmigrators … "
"Ah ha, Zakigullian, I am Jingle … What nonsense are you talking about? Jingle can also graduate, it's just that she is 20,000 years later than you … Let's not talk about this. Do you know what loopholes there are in the V3.11 version of the World Population Registration Template? Back then, I skipped class with Tifania and didn't listen to this lesson … "
"Kizna, I am Little Doudou. I heard that you have finally become an intern teacher and your cheat sheet skills have improved. Is the teacher around? Jingle has a question … No, no, Jingle hasn't caused any trouble recently. Err, teacher went to find the God Father to play checkers? That's great … Ah no, it's such a pity. Then, Kizna, can you go to teacher's study room to take a look? There is a book in the third bookshelf from the left at the bottom row of the blue bookshelf. There … There is no such thing. Jingle has never stolen any papers! Because Jingle has never passed … She definitely didn't steal the wrong papers from the next class! Un, that's all. I will hang up first. Long-distance travel and roaming are quite expensive. I will look for you to play when I have time! "
"Emperor … Your Majesty?" Poison Island Chestnut touched my arm in a daze. She had a look of despair on her face. "That, this little … little God, what has he been doing since the beginning?"
"Smile. You just have to smile."
My expression was stiff as the corners of my mouth twitched. I tried my best to ignore the God who was holding onto the phone and calling all of his friends who had skipped class with him. The holy image that this little one had left in my mind with great difficulty was now completely gone.
Originally, I still had some confidence in the Realm of Gods. Now, it seems that I have been enjoying god-level education ever since I entered No.2 High School at the age of 13? I saw the shadow of the fatty sitting in front of me from Jingle. Bastard!
"Phew …" After ending the forty-five minute phone call, Jingle let out a long sigh. Then, she rubbed her entire body against my nose with a smile as if she was asking for praise. She didn't care about the embarrassed expression on the owner's face in front of her. "Jingle settled it! So there really was a loophole! "
"Alright, alright. Just tell me what to do."
"It's very simple. First, let the illegal immigrants return to their original world. Then, Jingle will mark the end of the sentence in this world. This way, those transmigrators won't have any criminal records." Jingle said proudly. I felt that what she was saying was getting more and more familiar. "Then, Jingle will help them with their visas. Then, they will be able to return legitimately. In other words, as long as they walk around the border, their nationality can be changed! Of course, it will be a little troublesome to implement. We have to think of a way to get the supervisor of the void node to issue a certificate. But, Jingle will have a way! "
Without a doubt, the plan that Jingle mentioned sounded really familiar to me …
"Jingle, you are the Goddess of Life, right?"
I used the pad of my index finger to gently press on the little one's head. When the little one snuggled up comfortably, I said earnestly.
"Yes, yes!" The little one nodded repeatedly.
"The Goddess of Life should be synonymous with holy beauty …"
"Hehe, Ah Jun is praising Jingle! Jingle is so amazing! "The little one blushed and puffed out his chest proudly.
"Then, what are all those political conspiracies, smuggling, criminal connections, and backdoor dealings that I smelled just now!"
Leave behind the last piece of beauty in my heart, you idiot Goddess!
"Huh?" Jingle tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand what I was saying at all.
Alright, just like what Monina told me in the past, Jingle's history of growth is a history of crime. This little one was born to destroy the laws of the God Realm. She is a natural criminal genius …
"Anyway, let's do that for now." I patted the shoulder of Poison Island Chestnut who was still in a daze. This 18 year old girl who displayed an inconceivably mature demeanor was shocked. "When the time comes, I will send someone to send you back first to go through the procedures and then come back. Oh right, maybe I can send some Shaman priests to go with you. They should be able to save you from the biohazard crisis …"
The last sentence that I mentioned seemed nice, but it was just a consolation. The biohazard crisis happened at an astonishing speed. According to the information that Poison Island Chestnut provided, the undead in the world of 'Silent Revelation of the School' had already covered the entire earth. We would need at least a few months to find the coordinates there. By then …
Even if the entire Azeroth Shaman Brigade went there, they would have nothing left to save.
"Ugh, Your Majesty … Is this possible?"
After being stunned for a long time, Poison Island Chestnut finally digested what she had experienced and roughly understood what the little god in front of her was doing. Her first reaction was: Is this possible?!
"That's right, this is also possible." I nodded my head in understanding. "You didn't see how this idiotic god had to restart the timeline because of a wrong code. None of our Gadas are reliable … What the heck! Jingle, you really bit me! "
"Puchi!"
Poison Island Chestnut who had been stunned for a long time couldn't help but laugh. The dark clouds that covered her face for a long time finally dissipated, allowing the young girl to reveal the brilliance that should belong to a high school girl. That expression, it was as though the future had suddenly revealed a bright light.
Ah, what a bright light, it was so bright that it hurt my eyes!
"Blockhead! To think that I was in such a hurry to find you. Who would have thought that you would be an old cow eating young grass and a high school girl. If Shallow Shallow and Sandora find out about this, just wait for the end of the world! In order to protect the peace of the world, I will definitely do justice on behalf of the heavens … Wah! You're cheating! "
I immediately released my mental power and turned off the 700 billion energy source of a certain young miss who was hovering in mid-air and using her headlights to shine fiercely towards us. The young miss who was just playing the game of catching an adulterer fell together with the patched up car — — Of course, I was still very careful. If Lin Xue really fell to the ground, yeah, I would feel a little heartache, wouldn't I?
"You brat, you really dare to say anything." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I pressed down on the head of the aggressive Miss Lin who was about to use [Infinite Combo]. "I don't believe that you can have such a thing as a 'misunderstanding'."
"Hmph hmph, in any case, you were just raising your favorability with a female high school girl behind your sister's back!"
Miss Lin harrumphed, directly raising my pure action to the level of a good boat.
This expression, it can't be that she is jealous, right?
Noticing my weird expression, Lin Xue's face blushed imperceptibly. Then, she immediately put on a serious expression. "Alright, alright, seeing that you aren't a playboy, I won't report you to Shallow Shallow and the others. I have serious matters to discuss with you."
Seeing that Lin Xue's expression didn't look like she was joking, I retracted my smile and gestured to the slightly awkward Poison Island Chestnut to go back first. I put on a serious expression.
"What's going on?"
"Liliana and the Holy Cathedral army that she led lost contact with the base two hours ago. They are now confirmed to be missing."
A few minutes later.
The atmosphere in the living room of the house was solemn.
Big sister, Shallow Shallow, Sandora, Lin Xue, Pandora … Even Tawil and Syves, the two permanent members of the City of Shadows, were all present. The solemn atmosphere shrouded everyone. Even the usually incorrigible Shallow Shallow couldn't help but quieten down.
"Syves, is there a response?"
"We have just completed the last call. All the ships of the Holy Cathedral army are in total silence. We are unable to confirm whether the reason for the silence is because they couldn't receive the call or because we couldn't receive the reply." Known as Pandora's external thinking circuit, the black-haired big sister bowed slightly as she reported to us with a solemn expression, as though she was reporting military intelligence.
"It can be confirmed that Liliana has gone missing." Sandora's expression was as calm as usual, but the seriousness in her eyes was obvious. Standing up, Sandora pointed at the holographic projection in the middle of the living room. "The place where she went missing is here, sixty thousand kilometers away from the Kuiper Belt. It is the place where Liliana led the fleet to support the New Eden Federation to perform the second hyperspace jump. The report from the Kuiper Belt base has confirmed the route of that lass. Her fleet stopped at the Kuiper Belt base for a very short period of time to adjust the spacetime beacon and backup the route. Then, they performed the hyperspace jump right under the eyes of the Kuiper Belt's hyperspace radar — there has been no news since."
"I have already deduced the possible reasons." Without waiting for me to ask, Tawil stood up and put a series of mathematical models on the holographic projection. "The first possibility is that the spacetime beacon index is abnormal, causing the fleet to enter the wrong space during the jump, which is another world. This is the most consistent hypothesis for 'sudden loss of navigation'. However, the Eternal flagship that Liliana is on is a very reliable spaceship. Its intelligent system and navigation equipment have several backups, so the probability of these systems failing at the same time is almost zero. The second possibility is that they encountered a spacetime fault, but the Kuiper Belt base did not record such a spatial fluctuation, and the Empire fleet basically has the equipment to deal with this kind of spacetime fault, so this possibility has also been ruled out. Then there is the third possibility, which is also the most likely one in theory: it has something to do with this large-scale transmigration to another world."
"The connection of a large number of other worlds to this universe has weakened our World Barrier, and because the World Tree is operating at low power, the 'immune system' of this universe may have partially shut down, and something similar to a natural World Gate may appear in a short period of time. The greatest characteristic of a 'World Gate' is that it will not produce any abnormal spacetime distortion, and it will not affect the smoothness of space at all. This also explains why the Kuiper Belt base did not detect any nearby spatial fluctuations — Liliana may have entered a distant world — at least in theory."
Transmigrating … back and forth?
What a messy situation.
"If she has entered another world, Liliana should be able to regain contact with us soon." My sister's calm and consistent tone calmed me down a little. "Sives, have the Shadow Base search for Liliana's signal according to the power of cross-world communication. Is there a problem?"
"Yes, Matriarch." Sives nodded.
"Lin Xue," I turned to look at Lin Xue who seemed to be dozing off. "Is Liliana safe now?"
Lin Xue raised her head, and a white light flashed in her eyes. "She is very safe, and she will be safe in the future. However, we still can't see her specific location and environment. Well, Blockhead, believe in my prophetic ability. Don't worry too much, that lass just got lost this time. Also, the Holy Temple Army … Although it was formed by that lass's antics, their combat power and experience are quite reliable."
The combat power of the Holy Temple Army? I didn't doubt that much.
Although Jingle wasn't a very reliable master, as her Chief Priestess, Liliana was really something. After successfully tricking Artemis and the others into becoming the Holy Knights, Ascetics, Maids, Guards, Heresy Inquisition and other NPCs of the Church of the Goddess of Life, our spirited Chief Priestess set her sights on the 'lost lambs' of other worlds, such as the Shamans and Night Elves of the World of Azeroth, the Elves of the Empire of Vidis, and a small group of idiots in the Imperial Army. These fellows foolishly became believers of the Church of the Goddess of Life after being drugged by Liliana. These hardcore believers formed from the top figures of various worlds were named the Holy Temple Army by Liliana. They had no doctrine, no persuasiveness, and no system of organization. They didn't even know whether they should be called Holy Knights or Holy Knights. You really are a talent, Liliana — even if your Holy Temple Army got lost on their first mission.
"Ah Jun, don't worry." Dingdang jumped down from my head, her small hand holding onto one of my fingers as she shook it back and forth. "Lina is a person with divinity. Moreover, she is Dingdang's representative. No power in the mortal world can kill her, and the people of the God Realm can't harm her either …"
"Actually, that's not what I'm really worried about." It was only now that I voiced out my biggest worry. "A naturally black fake loli, a group of unorganized and undisciplined mercenaries, a small group of militarists who can't wait to turn the entire Milky Way into the shape of a crystal cross, and a hundred and fifteen fully-charged imperial warships. You're saying that this is the Church's friars … Isn't this a scam?"
That's right, I wasn't worried about anything happening to Liliana from the very start. Well, at least that wasn't the main problem I was worried about. Not to mention the fact that the Empire's fleet and Liliana's identity as a divine creation could already allow her to do whatever she wanted in any world, just based on the old adage of "good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years", a major character like Liliana wouldn't live to see the next season of humanity rush out of the galaxy. What I was really worried about was what kind of trouble these dangerous people would cause if they were to wander into another world without my supervision.
Probably everyone here, except for Pandora and Visca, was worried about this.
Liliana's spirit … How should I put it? Maybe it was related to her experience, or maybe it was just a natural black person. She was a little neurotic.
She liked to torture prisoners, torture people mentally, and imagine the despair that all kinds of hopeless situations would bring to humans (of course, she could only imagine it). It was her idea to use the shackles of religion and technology to control the New Eden Confederation, but her original idea was to brainwash the Keplu humans and the Proteans into a race of war slaves. Unlike Pandora who simply loved war, or Black Shallow Shallow who simply loved killing, Liliana, the girl with the title of Priestess, was more like a little demon.
Although she would be very obedient when I was watching her.
Now, she was leading the largest violent group in history out of my sight, and that violent group had always adhered to the ideology of militarism. Hopefully, we would be able to resume contact within a few days. I was too worried about this girl being out.
