Chapter 938: Chapter 55: The People Who Went Home Together

"Are you all here?" Pannis’s expression was somewhat strange as he stared into ’Lina’s’ eyes and asked, "Why have you all come out suddenly? This is the first time, right? Is something strange about to happen?"

"We have always been here, every one of us." Even just from observing the external expressions, one could see the aura around Lina constantly changing, from the original casual and unrestrained Katerina to the holy radiance-emitting priestess of light Catheria, who was once worshipped by the winged people favored by the god of light. The human spoke in a gentle voice, "You should understand, we have never left this child’s side, everyone has been loving her, paying attention to her, so when you ask us why we all came out, it’s a difficult question to answer. Besides, no matter what, this is also one of the countless homes we have; coming out to take a look after returning home, isn’t that very normal?"

"One of the countless homes?" Pannis repeated the same phrase, and after a moment, suddenly looked up and asked, "Can you tell me now, what exactly are you?"

"We’ve given you so many hints." Catheria’s smile was very gentle, "Haven’t you found the answer yet?"

"That’s what you call hints?" Pannis curled his lip, discontented, "That’s why you divine duty holders are the most headache-inducing, never speaking directly, always have to give a little hint from several directions, then let people guess for themselves. No, even for hints we have to guess ourselves, who can find the answer like that?"

"Heh, you really are an interesting person." Catheria didn’t get upset with Pannis’s attitude, instead, her smile seemed very happy, she covered her mouth with a hand and said softly, "Actually, the answer is very simple, we are just characters from a book."

"And then?" Pannis waited for a while and, realizing that Catheria had no intention of continuing, felt a vein on his forehead starting to throb, and asked through clenched teeth, "That’s it? Can you tell me something I don’t know?"

"Hehehe, okay okay, I won’t tease you anymore." Catheria laughed heartily, tilted her head, held her cheek on one side, and blinked playfully like a little girl, "Who made you always tease Lina? Every time Lina comes back, she tells us how you’ve bullied her again, making her both cry and laugh."

"Hey, who is bullying whom here." Pannis angrily retorted, "Every time, I am the one being beaten up, okay? How did it turn into me bullying her, and moreover, you’re actually here for her revenge?"

"She didn’t mention revenge, but we always secretly help her solve some problems—besides, being beaten up was your own doing, it has nothing to do with Lina." Catheria’s smile grew even more joyful. It took her a while before she regained her composure and said seriously, "Alright, let’s take this opportunity to clear up your questions. I wasn’t lying just now; we truly are characters from a book. Among our group, some were real historical figures, like me, like Tifa, like Isabella, like Diana."

"Diana was real?" Pannis said in surprise, "There was actually such a Wolf Queen? That’s totally unexpected."

"Surprising, isn’t it? But she did exist, it’s just that her era was a long time ago. Initially, she was just a legend of the plains but became popular in the human world as a novel by someone’s handiwork. It’s understandable that you haven’t heard her original legend." Catheria paused, as if listening to something, and after a few seconds, said, "She has a good impression of you, and asked me to tell you more. Her story actually took place over four thousand years ago, so even those living on the plains now only know about the book, not the original legend. Oh, and Isabella is clamoring—she’s telling me to tell you she’ll one day devour your soul, well, the souls of all of you."

"Well, that is indeed an unexpected gain, and I hope that capricious kid has a good appetite." Pannis nodded, "Please continue, I won’t interrupt you."

"Right, and some people did not exist in history, they are completely fictional characters." Catheria again tilted her head to listen for a moment, spit lightly, shook her head, saying, "Like Katerina, like Miss Mapple, like Princess Heidi whom you’ve met before. Alright, alright, stop it, I’ll tell him, and you too, no more mischief. Mr. Pannis, Princess Heidi asked me to tell you that she hopes to spend a wonderful night with you sometime, promising to leave you with a memory that you will never forget for your whole life, and a certain pervert who fought alongside you underground says he wants to fight you, but you’re not allowed to use the Demigod Rank Shield to interfere with the fight, everyone wants to enjoy a good physical battle."

"Uh, Blood Girl? Sorry, I’ve lost my memory, I don’t remember her at all." Pannis broke into a cold sweat; he had no interest in battling a Berserker. There are few things in the world more headache-inducing than having a Berserker fighting close by, and if there has to be one, it would be that the Berserker has set their sights on him. So he cleared his throat, about to say something, when he suddenly felt an ominous premonition and hastily raised his hand to make a stopping gesture, "Stop, this is Lina’s home, don’t switch her out, that would lead to a bloodbath."

"Hahaha, don’t worry, I’m not switching anyone, but I think you’re finished, she says she remembers you, and to wait for her. I suggest you write your will in advance, hahahaha." Catheria’s smile didn’t look like one of a clergy member to Pannis, it was more like a schadenfreude-filled demon. Only after she had her fill of laughter, she continued, gasping for air, "I need to continue with the important matters, you mustn’t make a fuss, or I’ll switch to you. Alright, where was I, oh yes, although some of us were real, some were imagined by people, but that’s all in the past. Right now, we all share one common state, that is between existence and non-existence. To say we exist is because we indeed have our own wills, to say we do not exist is because unless by some special means, we cannot be perceived by others. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"Uh, I more or less get it." Pannis furrowed his brow, pondered for a long time, and slowly nodded, "Your state is indeed a very interesting phenomenon, but how did this state come to be?"(To be continued.
