Chapter 402: Chapter 95: Please Enter the Urn (Request for Monthly Votes)

Because of his disability and the too dazzling halo beside the hooded bald head, Wuxin’s current state looked somewhat like a "human" character.

Inside was the forceful interrogation Xu Shu had once done to Nie Qiba.

Probably also sensing the oddity of the situation, Wuxin propped her chin and clearly showed the attitude of a curious baby.

Before long, in the image, Nie Qiba, through constant effort from the "shadow," was invaded and defeated, repeatedly waving her hands to surrender. Yet, the shadow did not let her go and continued to forcefully punish her.

Ultimately, it reached a state of volcanic eruption, causing her stomach to bulge out significantly.

"...Holy shit."

Xu Shu almost covered his face.

Indeed, there was no mistake, this was what Wuxin had been constantly mentioning before—the prophecy bestowed by the "Great Lord" worshiped by the Star Club.

In fact, it was none other than the Tailed Ksitigarbha who had manifested this image, but she had mistaken it.

Fortunately, the image was a bit strange and only showed Nie Qiba’s clear appearance, while for him, there was only a relatively blurry "shadow" that made it impossible to see the face.

Otherwise, Xu Shu would have wished he could dig a hole on the spot to bury his head in.

This gave off the feeling of being caught by someone familiar secretly recording "Forbidden Love.avi"; it was too embarrassing. If this got out, he really wouldn’t be able to face anyone.

Then, accompanying the satisfaction of desire in the image and letting go of Nie Qiba, the lights and shadows gradually dimmed amidst blurs, eventually disappearing.

Xu Shu frowned, and suddenly it became clear to him.

"Ha ha, there’s still time before dawn, and the Tailed Ksitigarbha has only felt a fragment of this image. Strictly speaking, this event took place yesterday morning in the ’Campaign Mode’. It was a draft I discarded, belonging to a future that has vanished."

"As for the other half of the prophecy that Wuxin spoke of, after Nie Qiba self-immolates, the door to the ruins can be opened. This event happened in today’s ’Campaign Mode’, also a discarded draft. But since the real time is only a little past seven in the morning, the Ksitigarbha has yet to perceive those [vanished futures], and Wuxin still doesn’t know how to leave here."

"But once I enter His earthly realm in the previous campaign, He will notice my unsolicited disturbance, giving Him a full three segments of [vanished futures]. This will inevitably make Him wary and affect the real me at this very moment!"

"However, this will have to wait until at least nine o’clock for Him to start sensing an issue; to understand the problem further, this time can be extended. Perhaps at twelve o’clock, or one or two in the afternoon, He will fully understand everything."

"There isn’t much time. For the sake of certainty, I have to leave here by nine o’clock at the latest."

Xu Shu calculated silently in his heart.

At this moment, Wuxin, who had left the nominal state of divine prayer, also opened her eyes and noticed Xu Shu before her.

Immediately entering a state of alert, her face masked except for the eyes obscuring any expression, she asked in a tone both cold and calm, "Who are you? When did you arrive?"

Her mask split her half in the shadows and half under the sun, creating a chilling and frightening yin-yang face that was difficult to read.

Because Xu Shu had seen her face, as beautiful as a flower, and had kissed her all over during the process of "embracing life’s grand harmony," he was not intimidated by the "yin-yang face" this time.

However, how to persuade Wuxin to help him was a problem.

This person’s mind was full of cunning plots, and if he were to directly reveal his origin, she might not believe him and might even think it was someone’s plot to harm her.

Yet, at this moment, Xu Shu especially needed the help of this lame female Mage.

Without her, he couldn’t handle the hundreds of Nie Qiba alone.

How should he hoodwink her a bit... Pretend I’m also an Extinguishing Road Traveler from the Star Group? But if there’s some kind of secret code and I can’t match it, I would surely expose myself, and it might not persuade her...

Despite her cunning and preparedness in plotting against Tailed Ksitigarbha for something, she was fooled by a simple illusion of Tailed Ksitigarbha. The reason was indeed related to the Evil God she worshiped...

To deal with an Esoteric believer, regular methods won’t do, but one could leverage their strongest point—the intense faith common among cultists...

Xu Shu lowered his gaze, and after a brief thought, he said with a deep tone, "I am Xu Shu, a Hunter. Along with some merchants, I fell into this territory of the [Guardians]. I intended to escape alone, but then a mysterious and powerful voice told me to assist in rescuing His followers. The reward is the Divine’s favor..."

"Heh heh, you know, this clearly denotes the guidance of a remarkable person, and my life’s creed is to eat full by heeding advice; only a fool would pass on a free feast—of course, the main reason is that I must have been targeted. As a mere First Order Transcendent, I dare not resist. I wonder what they see in me, sigh!"

Hearing this, Wuxin’s expression didn’t change, but she let out a light laugh, "Divine’s favor? Taking advantage? Hee hee, these are nothing but usual deceits practiced by some lowly and despicable Evil Gods. Who do you intend to rescue? There aren’t many living people left here."
