320: Chaos Visitors

“Nonsense, in this world, besides the Seamstress, who else could make you wary, you insidious fellow?”

“Meow!”

The mechanical cat heard Han Huohuo insulting its master and became agitated, letting out a fierce meow at him. Han Huohuo looked at the mechanical cat in surprise.

Pointing at the cat, Han Huohuo asked, “Is this a mechanical cat with a soul?”

“Of course, it has a soul. Not only does it have a soul, but it also has a name, Tingting. Back then, it came out of the chaos with me. If it weren't for Tingting’s help, my trick of crossing the sea wouldn't have succeeded.”

Han Huohuo heard another shocking piece of news: Mozi, that old fellow, just said he came out of the chaos.

“I've seen the chaos. Besides lunatics, there are even more terrifying lunatics. The most terrifying lunatics there, if they just glance at our world, our world will instantly turn into garbled code.

If I were to define chaos, it would be the land of ultimate madness.

It's a gathering place for all the world's chaotic thoughts. A normal person would collapse just by looking at it. How could you possibly come out of chaos?” Han Huohuo absolutely refused to believe it.

If he hadn't seen the abyss, he might have been half-believing, but since he had seen the abyss, he completely disbelieved that a mentally sound person could emerge from it.

If a lunatic or a demon king emerged from it, he might have believed it a little more.

Mozi laughed heartily, “You've also seen the abyss, why aren't you crazy?”

Han Huohuo retorted, “That's because I was in a special state at the time, naturally different.”

Mozi shook his head, “Sophistry. Are you the only one allowed to be in a peculiar state? Why can't I always be in a peculiar state? I tell you, kid, the only reason you haven't gone mad is because you have the Spear of Destiny!”

Han Huohuo was speechless. Thinking back, he suddenly felt that Mozi made a lot of sense.

“Do you also have some treasure that allowed you to preserve yourself in the chaos?”

“Of course, my treasure is Tingting!”

“Meow!”

This little cat named Tingting was curiously listening to the two of them chat, occasionally responding to show that it understood.

Tingting was a life form Han Huohuo couldn't comprehend: a pure metal kitten that could transform, had a soul, and could even protect others in the chaos.

Was this a divine cat? Or a demonic cat?

“Is the chaos fun?”

“Not fun. There's nothing there but various twisted souls, and they're all many souls twisted together, turning into evil spirits. Even the most terrifying place in our world is less than one quadrillionth as bad as that place.”

“Is that why you escaped from the chaos?”

“Wrong, I was driven out by the chaos!”

Mozi seemed to have many stories. Recalling the past, he looked a little sad, muttering, “You're still young, you don't understand. The person I loved accidentally entered the chaos. To save her, I cultivated for countless years, finally entering without regard for my life or death. But her soul had long since gone mad, she didn't recognize me, and she even colluded with the strongest demon god in the chaos to drive me out.”

“So, you're not a person from the chaos at all; you're an outsider who just broke into the chaos? For love, you're truly great!”

“How could someone as normal as me be born in the chaos? Tingting is the creature from the chaos. If I hadn't met Tingting when I entered the chaos, I would have been finished long ago.”

Han Huohuo glanced at the proud little cat, thinking, so that's how it is. It seems this cat is a bit terrifying.

But why didn't he feel any aura of chaos from the cat?

Han Huohuo was puzzled.

“The chaos is like a chaotic ocean, and it also has tides. When the tides are most violent, some strange things are born, and these things have no chaotic aura, like your Spear of Destiny, like my cat!”

Mozi's research on chaos is probably unrivaled. He is also the only person in this world who has entered the chaos and returned unscathed.

Han Huohuo somewhat understood. This was precisely the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang, as described in ancient texts. In the most chaotic place, ultimate order would be produced!

“Alright, let's not talk about chaos now. I will never touch chaos. I don't think my life is too long, anyway. Oh, by the way, old man, do you know where to find anti-matter mine?”

“I am a magician, the greatest magician in history!”

“So what? What's wrong with being a magician?”

“Magicians don't use anti-matter mine; that's a mineral used only by scientific branches, so you've asked the wrong person.”

“Your Mozi family has so many puppets, and they even use black oil for power. Don't tell me you only understand magic?”

“Advanced puppets are magic-driven! black oil is something they concocted because their magic research was incomplete, something I've always looked down on but just didn't bother to manage them.”

Han Huohuo was convinced and didn't want to argue with Mozi anymore. Then he thought for a moment, “What do you plan to do now?”

Mozi chuckled, “I'll hide by your side for a while. Once the commotion dies down, I'll reshape a body and then reclaim Sky City. That's my treasure; it can't be stolen by others.”

Mozi became a chatterbox. Before Han Huohuo could respond, he added, “You do your best. Once you take care of the Seamstress, I can appear openly.”

Ding!

Mozi and the cat turned back into a ring, concealing their aura.

Han Huohuo really wanted to throw this ring into the Sea Eye to see what would happen, but then he thought, even the chaos couldn't handle this old fellow, so the Sea Eye probably couldn't do anything to him either.

But he was feeling a bit annoyed, so he decided to provoke him mentally.

Han Huohuo loudly said, “I know you can hear me. I'm telling you, when you were driven out of the chaos by the evil spirit, perhaps your beloved still remembered you and deliberately drove you out of the chaos. She cared about you deeply and didn't want you to suffer, but she's still enduring terrifying torment in there. Are you just going to lie here and sleep peacefully?”

Han Huohuo wouldn't kill ghosts, especially ghosts in Mozi's state, but he was very skilled at attacking the heart.

The ring trembled for a long time, seemingly very agitated.

Han Huohuo was in a good mood. He put away the ring. This guy wouldn't be of any help. Seeing his disheveled state, it was clear he was still very afraid of the Seamstress.

What kind of ghost was that Seamstress? Was he really that terrifying?

Then he remembered that he had once seen an abandoned spaceship in a time and space crack, with a skeleton wearing patched clothes inside.

He didn't know if what he saw was an ancient scene or a future scene. The time-space mirror showed time and space, which could be any point in the long river of history, so it was just a scene and didn't mean anything.

Han Huohuo could even use the time-space mirror to see his future grave, but that didn't mean he was dead now.
