185: An interesting world, a mistake of the natural order

This small wooden cabin seemed to belong to the graveyard keeper here.

But it looked more like it had been abandoned for a long time.

I reckon even the graveyard keeper responsible for watching over the cemetery left a long time ago.

Coming by a few times occasionally would already be considered doing their best.

Sure enough, there was no one inside.

Lu Chen pushed the door open and walked in, then used a pile of dry firewood inside to light the fireplace.

In less than a moment, the room warmed up.

Lu Chen actually felt there was no need to do this.

He was an undead.

But the next moment, he realized that after coming to this world, his physical body had returned, and he could still feel the temperature of cold and heat.

Actually, it was possible outside too; after all, Lu Chen had already cultivated a human body.

But most of the time, Lu Chen still relied primarily on his Power of the Undead.

So he had long forgotten what it felt like to be human.

Now, he found it quite peculiar.

This cemetery was quite Medieval European, rather Gothic; come to think of it, in a place like this, it was time to dispose of this little girl.

Of course, if she was obedient, he wouldn't need to dispose of such a thing.

In the information the Faceless Man gave him.

This girl was a key figure.

But the options to kill or not kill were both at the end of the card.

The Faceless Man was truly a riddle-maker.

Since she is a key figure, why can she be killed or not killed?

Every choice will affect the final outcome, right?

Extremely interesting!

"Not dead yet, are you?"

Lu Chen kicked the "dead dog" on the ground.

Seeing her stare blankly at the fireplace that was gradually lighting up.

As if she had lost all perception of this world.

Lu Chen didn't say much, just left a wisp of Power of the Undead on her without leaving a trace.

This little bit was enough for her to heal herself.

So her life was not in any danger.

Seeing that she ignored him, Lu Chen sat aside and said to her:

"Girl, it's actually not bad. The Undead type means immortality, and your beauty will be fixed at this flower-like age. This is what women dream of! Besides, you don't need to eat, right? Just honestly drink blood. Anyway, you women bleed every month, and you can drink blood; isn't that even more impressive?"

Obviously, Lu Chen's twisted joke didn't attract any of the girl's attention.

The girl just stared blankly like that.

Finally, after a long while, she muttered:

"Monsters don't need sympathy. I killed everyone."

"You don't know about Monster Girls, do you? Only ugly ones are monsters; the pretty ones are Monster Girls. Congratulations, you belong to the pretty ones. Think about that, and you'll feel much better, right? Besides, in another world, there's a place called Huaxia, where some people like Monster Girls. For example, Xu Xian—his wife was a snake!"

Lu Chen just kept coaxing the little girl like that.

Finally, seeing she had no intention of dying.

He stood up.

"I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon."

The girl ignored Lu Chen.

Lu Chen walked out of the cabin.

Saying it was a while, it really was just a while.

But for Lu Chen, it was not short.

It was just because he had to return to the real world, but when he went back, it was only the moment he had just entered.

The space-time of the two places was just that wonderful.

No matter how long Lu Chen spent over there, returning here, only a second had passed.

Likewise, no matter how long he stayed in this Eternal World.

When Lu Chen went back to reality, only a second had passed.

Lu Chen's figure disappeared from where he stood.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he was back in reality.

Just above the Mediterranean Sea, not far from Rome.

Behind him was that huge server standing in the sea.

Like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

"Ah, have to get busy here again!"

Lu Chen scratched his head in distress.

He flew towards Rome.

...

The dome frescoes of the Sistine Chapel circulated in the projection of Heaven, and the artifacts held by the Twelve Apostles were deconstructed and reconfigured into the form of frescoes.

Lu Chen stood directly under the "The Last Judgment" fresco, his ink-dragon-patterned attire forming a stark contrast with the Holy See's gold-trimmed crimson carpet.

The mysterious fire chains wrapped around Ignis's fingertips sank into the shadows on the ground. Her lava-patterned battle armor steamed with sulfur mist under the Holy Light transmitted through the stained glass, tearing out a scorching boundary in the air with the gray mist flowing from the edges of Ning Xiwei's black robe.

"The Holy See should be aware that the similarity between the dodecahedron symbol of the 'Angel Cube' and the Liangzhu jade cong exceeds ninety percent." Lu Chen raised his hand to open the holographic star map. "The Holy See came into contact with silicon-based civilization in the Middle Ages, yet concealed the archival data from the Human Alliance for four hundred years."

The Pope, known as the Holy See, struck the white jade floor with his golden scepter, and the dome's celestial instrument started up in response.

In an instant, the light bands of the Zodiac wrapped around the surrounding phantoms, and verses from Dante's "Divine Comedy" appeared, floating from the parchment scrolls in the bookcases on all sides.

Lu Chen saw this but was not afraid.

It was nothing more than a Peak-level powerhouse.

He was also a King-level.

But the Pope had clearly already stepped one foot into the Emperor level.

"Guests from Huaxia always like to use archaeological evidence to overturn common sense. Is this the reason for your civilization's confidence?" The triple crown amidst the Pope's gray hair flowed with cold light. "But have you ever thought about why those silicon-based creatures only show fear to you? Yet they show friendliness to us?"

Ning Xiwei's bone staff raised, emitting a dark light that pierced directly into the galaxy projected by the celestial instrument, her Undead Spell tearing open the magic barrier constructed by the Holy See's Formation.

Instantly, dark purple energy followed the melody of the "Gregorian Chant" playing in the church hall, eroding it in reverse. The Holy Grail in the hands of the Apostle fresco suddenly cracked, revealing a bronze inner lining engraved with the hexagrams of the book of easy change from lian shan.

The Pope's expression changed instantly!

Obviously, fear appeared in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Lu Chen and his group would actually know these secrets hidden behind the scenes.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "They have read the Holy See's thoughts—Your Holiness, it would be better to be a little afraid. They have already lost themselves, and they won't show mercy when dealing with humans!"

At this moment, Ning Xiwei's pale face was also illuminated by the projection here, flickering on and off. She looked at the Pope and said rudely: "You package the truth of the Universe into the appearance of divine oracles, just like locking a modern computer in a gilded box. Do you know how stupid that is?"

Ignis sneered and kicked over the gilded candlestick in front of her, the melted wax oil congealing into irregular outlines on the floor.

She said very contemptuously:

"Old man Pope, the silicon-based crystals from last week's eruption of Mount Etna already explain a lot of things!"

Ignis flicked her finger, shooting the Flame Demon Fire into the core of the celestial instrument.

Just like that, she started playing with the celestial instrument on the dome.

She then continued:

"Just based on the detection of the same magic elements as the Holy See's Holy Blood Pool, you are already committing a crime! — Do you need me to submit a sample comparison report to the Human Alliance now? You better think clearly—old man!"
