The Death List Novel - Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Clear One’s Doubts

“The shattered starry sky has destroyed our faith. Could it be that we will lose our principles of being human this time?” Sass buried his head in his palms in confusion.

Contrary to what Hill and the others had guessed, with Sass and Cora’s physical foundation when they first entered the Shattered Star System, they could obtain even more from the five mission worlds they had originally crossed. However, at that time, the two couples had always been observant of the police’s conduct. They were unwilling to attack innocent people, and they often rescued their companions. They even missed out on a lot of benefits due to this.

The Esmira are marine humans. Because they live on the seabed all year round, aerospace technology is basically zero. Compared to the humans on earth, although they had reached the third technological revolution, their exploration of the universe was almost blank.

Daily science and technology has reached an extremely high level, but spiritual civilization is still in the stage of religious worship, which is the unique human civilization of Esmira.

The Esmira believed in sea gods and claimed to be the descendants of sea gods. They believed that apart from their own race, all life on Esmira was the daily necessities created by the sea gods for them.

Just as earthlings like seafood, Esmiras also like terrestrial animals, although photosynthesis also meets most of their energy needs. Although 90% of Esmira’s surface area is oceans, intelligent life and primitive civilizations have also appeared on the remaining 10% of the continent. However, these land-based intelligent life forms are all used as high-grade food by the Esmira people.

Esmira’s dictionary never had the concept of land humans, so when they entered the shattered starry sky and saw so many land intelligent races, even Earth humans who were almost exactly the same as the high-grade food they used to talk about, it was easy to imagine how great an impact they had on their world outlook.

It turned out that they had been “cannibalizing” non-stop in the past, and every Esmira who had just entered the shattered starry sky would experience a similar process of faith being overturned. The stronger their faith in sea gods, the more painful the process would be. The less they accept the history of “cannibalism,” the more they show “racial discrimination” against the people of Earth.

“Sass!” Cora leaned against her husband’s shoulder and hugged him into her arms. “I don’t want to leave you alone, nor do I want to be a widow … Maybe what we insist on is wrong, maybe we should just listen to orders and not ask right or wrong, as we used to do at work!”

The two of them hugged each other for a long time and were speechless. They could only hear the crackling of the charcoal fire in the fireplace.

…

Walking out of the hall, Qin Lun stood on the steps in front of the door and looked up at the quiet night sky. He didn’t say anything for a long time.

Michelle imitated the young man and looked up at the sky. Looking at the two bright moons that looked exactly the same as the world around her, her nose inexplicably turned sour as she thought of her mother.

The stars and bright moons in the night sky of the inner world were not real existences. They were just projections of the main world. The sky above tens of thousands of meters was filled with fierce winds and chaos. Even gods were unable to surpass it. The continent’s extension finally became a circle. In fact, the entire inner world was a completely sealed circular pipeline.

“Sir Castro, do you think we can return to our own world?”

“Call me Qin Lun. Castro is just a fake name!” Qin Lun turned around and smiled. He shook his head and said, “We can’t go back anytime soon. Unless you stay by Great Mage Holk’s side, he might help you pass through the teleportation array occasionally. However, even if you can’t go back, your mother should be able to get some information. You don’t need to worry too much!”

“Do you still want me to stay here?” Michelle was silent for a while and said with some resentment.

Qin Lun stared at the centaur girl’s face. His heart skipped a beat and he slowly said, “Michelle, you stay here is the best choice. The shelter camp may be very different from what you imagined. Although Hill and I have the ability to protect ourselves, it’s insignificant here. It’s very difficult to protect you …”

“Hmph, I’m also a policeman, so I don’t need your protection!” The centaur girl patted the shotgun behind her back unconvincingly.

“Haha!” Looking at Michelle’s embarrassed expression, Qin Lun smiled and said, “Actually, I want you to stay here for the sake of everyone! Think about it, we are not familiar with each other here. If you learn magic from Mage Holk, you might be able to help us in the future!”

“How about this!” Michelle tilted her head and thought for a while, then whispered shyly, “But in this way, I won’t see everyone for a long time!”

‘”No, we are all in the southern hills. We only have a day or two to communicate with each other. If necessary, we can use magic to communicate with each other. Although we are separated from each other, if we are in danger, it would be better for us to have foreign aid, right?”

Hearing Qin Lun’s words, Michelle’s gaze darkened and she forced a smile. She no longer had the mood to look at the night scenery and turned around to return to her room.

“Young Master, she seems …” Frank looked at the Centaur girl’s somewhat disappointed back and couldn’t help but say.

“I know!” Qin Lun said indifferently without turning his head, “But she and I are not creatures of the same world! Frank, what about you? You’ve been awake for a while now, have you figured it out?”

“Oh, Young Master” Frank was slightly stunned.

“I mean, have you figured out our relationship? You should know that I’m not the Wellington you grew up with!” Qin Lun sighed softly, turned around, and said seriously, “You grew up in Wellington. You didn’t wake up next to the small cemetery in the woods. It was always me who woke up!”

“… Why are you telling me this!” Frank shook his body and slowly squatted down. He said in a low voice, “You … what about my young master Wellington?”

“He’s already dead. He died from that undying plague!” Qin Lun said expressionlessly, “Originally, you would have died as well! However, I needed an assistant at that time, so I saved you!”

“But … but you have his memories. Perhaps you just forgot a part of them!” Frank looked at Qin Lun eagerly, hoping that the youth would give him a hopeful answer.

“No, those memories are just incomplete remnants of Wellington’s body. My soul has never been his!” Qin Lun shook his head and said coldly, “Frank, the real Wellington has already left, and his body has also been left in Audi á ‘s forest cemetery …”

“You … why are you telling me this!” Frank held his head and asked painfully.

“I’m telling you this. I just hope you don’t get lost in the past. Not everyone has a chance to start over!” Qin Lun smiled and squatted beside Frank. “I saved you once, but you saved me twice in Albert’s family cemetery and witch’s cottage. Now we’re even.”

“Wei … Young Master, don’t you want me anymore?” Frank released his grip and slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

“You are my resurrected servant apostle, but you also have your own apostle number. There is no strong binding force between us.” Qin Lun pressed down on Frank’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Although I’m not really Wellington, we’re more tied to each other than friends. We’re more like brothers. I need you by my side, but if you don’t want to, you can be on your own!”

Frank fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and said in a muffled voice, “Then … can I call you Young Master Wellington in the future?”

“Haha, I took away Wellington’s body, but I also left an indelible reputation for the Stan Clan in that world! Before his death, Wellington had always been committed to inheriting his family’s property. If he knew about it underground, he would probably recognize my right to inherit this surname!”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he smiled. “Of course, Frank, of course you can call me Wellington Stan!”

“Alright, Young Master!” Frank’s eyes lit up, and the confusion on his face slowly faded.

…

“Qin Lun, Hansen” Michelle ran along the stream and heard the Centaur girl’s cheerful shout from afar.

“It’s Michelle. Looks like the asylum camp has lured someone over!” Hansen threw down the fishing rod in his hand and stretched, “Let’s go, we can finally leave this damn place!”

“Haha, you can eat until you’re full!” Qin Lun stretched his feet back from the clear stream and wiped them with a dry cloth.

Ever since they had eaten mutton and ale on their first day, the grassland elves of the manor had been pointing at Hansen and the others. Hill and Sass were fine, but Hansen, who was very hostile, couldn’t stand it. If he wasn’t afraid of Holk’s strength, he might have caught a few elves and roasted them.

For the next two days, he stopped eating mutton and ale and insisted on dragging Hill and Qin Lun fishing in the nearby creek. However, most of the creatures in the inner world were extremely intelligent, and even the small fish in the stream were much more cunning than ordinary fish. Hansen had never been full these past two days, and his face was wrinkled like a cucumber.

After returning to the manor, he saw a few other people and Holk already in the hall, as well as a strange-dressed “eccentric”. She had a pair of antlers on her head, two purple vertical lines on her eyebrows, and a raincoat-like leafy garment on her body.

The eccentric had sharp ears and a petite figure. He held a staff that was longer than his height tightly in his hand. Although he was dressed strangely, his appearance was beautiful. He was actually a real jungle elf.

“This is the Great Druid of the Shelter Camp Management Committee, Ms. Wema Dallas Moonlight!” The old mage pointed at the person and introduced, “If your decision hasn’t changed, you can follow her now. Don’t waste any more of my food here!”

Two days ago, the crowd revealed their intention to go to the shelter camp. Holk immediately informed the Royal Knights of Victor and the Tower that they didn’t need to send out any more people to receive them. Therefore, Weimar was the only one from the three major powers.

“Holk, you haven’t changed at all. You’re still so stingy!” The druid chuckled. He turned to Qin Lun and the others and said, “Since they’ve driven us away, are you going with me, the guests of the outside world?”
