Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1306 - Seen



Chapter 1306: Seen

Intense magic fluctuations resounded throughout.

The long street collapsed.

Blood splattered all over.

At the moment that the Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew through the air, the orange cat had already leapt in pursuit with his four limbs.

A second later, the sword unleashed its power!

A sword phantom drew an arc and sent Elder Du’s head flying.

That wasn’t the end——

The orange cat’s gaze became sharp with killing intent and leapt into the air, his front paws grabbed a long scepter from the void of space and thrust it into the headless body.

——–the Devil King Warden Rod.

Before these Wraith realm humans even realized what happened, they were already wiped out.

However, before Elder Du died, despite losing his ability to think, he was still able to call out ‘fiend’ before he died.

———he was able to guess it!

At the moment, the Wraith realm still didn’t know about Elder Du’s death here, but they had extremely potent means of summoning a soul and reviving it, so they would most likely be able to find out what happened tonight.

I can’t let this Elder Du’s soul return to the Wraith realm, otherwise, there would be no shortage of troubles later on!

The orange cat put his paw on top of the Devil King Warden Rod and activated [Soul Dispersion] right away.

A breath’s worth of time later.

Being stabbed into the headless body, the scepter trembled a bit, gave off a carefully chewing noise almost like gnashing teeth, but then quickly returned to normal.

—–that should do it!

Even if the Wraith realm humans went to the ends of reality and back, they would never be able to find Elder Du and find out anything that happened tonight.

The orange cat sighed in relief, but his ears twitched.

A loud siren was echoing through the city.

The guards of Void City were rushing towards this place from every direction.

The orange cat put his swords and scepter away, silently used [Ground Shrink], and hid into a dark corner of the street.

He leapt onto a nearby wall and silently waited there.

One second.

Two seconds.

——over a dozen men in guard armor abruptly marched out of the void of space, surrounding the scene.

“Where’s the culprit?”

“Ran away”

“It was too fast, the battle only lasted for about four… no, about three seconds” one of the guards said.

Staring at the bodies on the ground, the guards fell silent.

From the moment they sensed the beginning of the battle, even before the street was blown up by the technique, they had already begun to rush here.

But there were only corpses left when they arrived, the fight was already over.

A caster descended from above, landing in front of the guards.

“Sir”

The guards bowed.

The caster nodded, then looked at the corpses on the ground before displaying a strange expression.

He slowly said: “These Wraith realm fellows have only just offered a powerful Causality Law defensive technique to the City Lord, saying that it was for the sake of improving Void City’s defenses”

“When they were displaying it, I was also there. Their defensive technique was truly powerful, so the City Lord was quite delighted”

“Who would’ve thought… just as they left…”

Causality Law was the most powerful Law within Mysticism.

——and yet these people who wielded such powerful defensive Causality Law technique…

Were all killed in three short seconds.

Hearing him, everyone looked down at the corpses on the ground.

A night breeze blew in.

Suddenly, everyone felt a chill over their bodies.

At a distance.

The orange cat observed this from on top of the wall for a while, then turned to leave.

Under the shield of night, he quickly headed back to the Hitman Guild.

Halfway there, the orange cat abruptly stopped.

Wait…

If the Wraith realm spent the effort to investigate, they would most likely find out from the City Lord’s manor how Crow and I got into conflict with Elder Du.

Then, both Crow and I would be subjects of suspicion.

After returning to the Guild, Crow hadn’t left at all.

I told Qin that I wanted to visit a friend, then immediately went out to ambush Elder Du.

Visit a friend…

The orange cat pondered a bit, changed his direction, and continued running.

Since that’s the case, I’ll look for Xiao Die, she’ll be able to provide me with an alibi.

The orange cat traversed through the streets, quickly reaching a small brick house surrounded by flowers.

This was Xiao Die’s house.

At this point, the long night had passed, and dawn was emerging.

The sky was already brightening up.

Some candlelight could be seen from inside the house, the door was slightly ajar, the faint sound of music could also be heard.

Occasionally, there was even the sound of talking.

Two gardeners were doing some landscaping just outside the small brick house.

They could occasionally hear the sound of talking from inside, but they were mostly focused on their jobs.

Seeing this, the orange cat was a bit hesitant.

The house was rigged with anti-clairvoyance magic, so his inner sight couldn’t pass through.

But from how it seemed, Xiao Die was clearly with a friend.

It was currently dawn, so the gardeners hired by Xiao Die had also come to maintain her garden.

If I just come in like this, wouldn’t that be too arbitrary?

The orange cat’s gaze moved around and noticed a small door right under the front door.

The small door was fully opened, there were even some letters written on top of it.

[For pet cat use]

Next to the door, a dog was lying on its belly, sleeping.

It was sleeping very soundly.

The orange cat was a bit doubtful.

——-strange, this door wasn’t there the last time I was here.

He pondered a bit and realized what happened.

The only person in Void City that knows I can turn into a cat is Xiao Die.

The fact that Xiao Die made this door means that she knew I would be coming.

…how is that possible?

The orange cat’s tail swayed side to side as he snuck down from on top of the wall.

—–the night was about to end, so [Ghostly Shadow of Night] would also lose its effects, he needed to quickly make his decision.

The orange cat went across the street, sitting in front of the small brick house, and silently listened.

The sound of talking and music coming inside had become a lot clearer.

After listening for a while, the orange cat heard his own voice.

What’s going on?

The orange cat felt even more doubtful.

He leapt onto the stairs and walked up to the door.

The small door was already open.

The dog was asleep.

The orange cat slowly went inside.

In the room, the orange light of a candle was peacefully burning.

Xiao Die was sitting on a sofa, reading a book.

An old phonograph was placed on top of the window sill, continuously playing music and the sound of people talking.

One of the voices was Gu Qing Shan.

The other was Xiao Die.

The orange cat looked at the phonograph, then at Xiao Die.

She seemed to be quite exhausted, sitting with both feet curled up on her sofa while lazily flipping through her book.

“Meow”

The orange cat tried calling out.

Xiao Die was surprised.

She stretched herself, then said “So you’re finally here, where are you?”

The orange cat turned back into Gu Qing Shan.

“You seem to have already known that I would come” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“That’s right, I have a friend who’s the head assistant of the City Lord’s manor. She’s an expert Astrologer, and I received news from her earlier, saying that you’ll probably need an alibi” Xiao Die replied.

Gu Qing Shan froze.

Xiao Die closed her book, then pointed at the sofa across from her and said: “Sit down”

Gu Qing Shan sat down, asking: “How did your friend know I’d be here?”

“Did you visit her for divination?” Xiao Die asked in return.

“I did, I wanted to change my codename, so I visited her for divination following a friend’s advice” Gu Qing Shan admitted.

He honestly told her everything that had occurred the night before.

Xiao Die silently listened to his story, then smiled: “It was fortunate that she sent me a message, otherwise I wouldn’t have been here”

“You weren’t at home?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I was at special training, I only returned in a hurry when I knew about your situation” Xiao Die replied.

“Did that friend of yours manage to see ahead of time what I would do?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

“Her expertise is in calculating the relations between people. In truth, she only first managed to discern that the mutual connection point between you and herself was me; since the both of you knew me personally”

“And because you were my friend, she spent some effort performing a divination for you”

After explaining, Xiao Die took out a blank Card and lightly tapped it with her finger.

A female voice then came from the Card:

“Die, your Hitman friend went to my place for divination. He was giving off a thick aura of the Law of Death, so most likely he’ll be fighting someone tonight”

“I can see the people of the Wraith realm turning into corpses—–”

“After a while, the Law of Death around the Hitman would calm down, at which point he’ll go look for you, most likely for an alibi that he wasn’t at the scene of the murder”

“I’m only informing you about this, you can decide what to do on your own”

The voice disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan fell silent.

I made sure that every step was as perfect as possible.

But someone managed to discover that I was the perpetrator from taking a peek into the future.

——-‘no matter how much you plot or scheme, I only need to look a bit to know what you did in the future’

What an unreasonable ability.

Xiao Die then giggled and told him: “Don’t worry, she’s my friend, so she won’t expose you——– and since you killed humans from the Wraith realm, she couldn’t even be more delighted about it”

“She is in conflict with the Wraith realm?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Hm, an irreconcilable conflict” Xiao Die replied.

Gu Qing Shan slightly calmed down.

However—–

For an Astrologer to be able to see briefly into the future.

I’ve never heard about an Astrologer being able to do this in the 900 million World Layers.

Then…

With the secrets I’m carrying, it’s probably best that I avoid people of this Profession as much as possible.

Watching Gu Qing Shan’s cautious expression, Xiao Die shook her head: “Don’t think too much about it. In truth, she’s probably the only Astrologer capable of seeing future visions, this is due to her own unique talent”
