Chapter 646: Chapter 347 Divine Race’s Guess_2

"...I’ve given you so much support, and you still manage to screw up this simple thing..." The old man swore incessantly, his face flamed and throat bulged, visibly incensed.

Red Sleeve was as if deaf to his ranting, and continued to kneel by the corpse of the World Walker. Her eyes were lifeless, and her face wore a numb expression.

"You could have appeared earlier, you could have saved him..." Red Sleeve muttered under her breath, her eyes reddening.

"Saved him? Do you have any idea how much I’ve sacrificed to save you this time? The Time Guards almost traced us here. And if that happens, we’re finished!" The old man spat out his words angrily but then glanced at the body on the ground and chuckled coldly, "As for him, he’s worthless now! I had told him repeatedly to be extra careful and protect his right hand. Because once he loses his right hand, his evasion ability would become useless. And what happened? He didn’t listen a single word! The moment the switch left his body, his presence was captured by the Heart of Time. From now on, he won’t be able to evade the Time Guards’ tracking, and even if he survives, he would eventually get caught and expose our hideout."

After venting out his frustration, the old man’s tone gradually calmed down. He looked at Red Sleeve’s abdomen and finally his brow relaxed a bit, "Thankfully, your child is still there! This child will be our Clan of Fools’ hope for a new rise."

"You won’t have to go anywhere for a while; the Time Guards are intensifying their search and might lay an ambush nearby."

The old man pondered, "From now on the only task for you will be to stay in Dawn City, take care of yourself and give birth to the child. Then raise him/her...Also, I’ve now located the Underground City. As for the rest of your time - set upon digging in the direction of Underground City, all the way down to the core."

"What?"

At the mention of her child, Red Sleeve, previously numbed with grief, found some spirit. She lifted her head and frowned at the old man, "Dig the Underground City? All by myself?"

Other cities could rapidly develop because they had tens of thousands of laborers contributing their efforts. But here, she was all alone. How long would it take for her alone?

"Yes... don’t worry. Now you have the Grim Reaper’s arm, your efficiency is much higher than that of an ordinary person. Besides, I’ll help you target your digging efforts so you only need to dig straight down, and your workload will reduce drastically. I’ve calculated, and, under no interference, you would need about five to six years to dig your way through the Underground City."

The old man nodded, and then declared solemnly, "Remember, you must reach the final area before all Sky Cities emerge."

"Are you kidding me?"

Red Sleeve stared at him in shock. It was absurd enough for him to ask her to singlehandedly dig the Underground City, and now she has to do this even before other cities emerge?

According to the current emergence pace of the Sky Cities, within just half a month, all cities would surface. How could she possibly finish digging in half a month?

The old man, of course, understood what Red Sleeve was doubting. He just chuckled at her, giving her a chill.

"Don’t worry. You will have plenty of time within the Boundary of Standstill..."

...

One day later, on Earth.

Lin Xue woke up from the sickbed. The scent around her was familiar. However, as she opened her eyes, she saw only blur.

Before she could get up, a familiar voice sounded from beside the bed.

"She woke up! Boss, Sister Xue woke up!"

Then she heard a few more set of footsteps approaching.

"Little Snow..."

"Sis, how are you feeling?"

Lin Xue turned her head to the side but could only see several vague outlines. Despite this, she managed to identify a direction, "Mu You?"

Mu You, who stood beside her bed, was taken aback, "I’m here."

"Where am I?"

"This is your mansion. You passed out after the fight yesterday. You’re very weak. Initially, we wanted to send you to the hospital, but considering your unique condition, we feared outsiders might find out something. So we contacted Little Sea and brought you back home."

This place was actually the mansion where Grandma Lin Xue lived. The medical facilities here were no less equipped than any hospital.

"That’s good..." Lin Xue nodded and immediately felt relieved.

"Sis, can you see?" Lin Hai asked nervously.

According to what Mu You said when he brought Lin Xue back yesterday, it seemed her eyes had suffered some kind of injury, possibly causing her to go blind.

But just now, Lin Xue clearly looked at them and spoke. That was not something a person with vision loss would do.

Lin Xue shook her head, "I can see, but I can’t make out the objects clearly. I can only see some blurry shadows and, also...numbers..."

"Numbers?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Is it the value of good and evil?" Mu You asked.

Upon hearing about numbers, he immediately thought of the effect of the Bell Toll he had seen yesterday.

Since that Bell Toll effect mentioned the concept of ’evil doing value’, there must be a way for her to see this ’good and evil’ first.

However, Mu You initially thought that the ’good and evil’ indicator would be somewhat vague, so he didn’t expect it to be displayed directly in a precise numerical form.

"Yes." Lin Xue nodded.

"What is the value of good and evil?" Little Ya and Lin Hai both asked curiously.

Mu You then explained to the two about the effect of the artifact.

"Ah, Sis, what’s my value of good and evil?"

"And what about mine?"

The two of them became extremely curious after the explanation and began to ask.
