Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 448 ‘Truth’

Clang, clang, clang——!!

The crisp sounds of metal collisions continued to come from the sky, echoing under the depressing sky.

"I say, don't you think it's too far to just stand here and watch the fun? Xiaowei, why don't you take us a little higher? Otherwise, we can only watch the special effects from below."

Outside the battlefield, the instigator, who had just read the memory of the white cat, looked at the black-haired young man and the black mecha that had already penetrated deep into the clouds in the sky, touched his chin, and made a suggestion to Sylvie beside him.

"If you want to go, go by yourself. If you just want to watch the fun, it's not the same to watch it with a soul body. People are not interested in joining in this kind of fun."

Sylvie rolled her eyes at the instigator, who shook his head and waved his hands, saying:
“No, no, no. If I use my soul body to fly over, the Black Sword guy will definitely deliberately move towards me. Then I will definitely be blasted to pieces by the residual power of their attack!”

"Then let's not go. Anyway, you've been watching for so long, you've probably seen everything you wanted to see, right?"

Sylvie glanced at the instigator, touched the white cat that was burying its head in her chest for comfort, and spoke to him.

"Well, I have observed almost everything, but this kind of thing is like collecting everything on the map. It makes me want to observe everything thoroughly~!"

The instigator dug the hole on his forehead, spread out his other hand, and explained in an innocent tone.

"You've used this explanation many times, it's time to change it. So, what did you see this time?"

"Well...Xiaowei, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"lie."

"In fact, I used some secret method that greatly overdrawn my soul on the way here, which caused me to see everything as if covered by a layer of fog. Ahem... Therefore, although I observed the two of them very seriously, I still didn't get much useful information."

"What about the truth?"

"The strength of the perception circles on the bodies of these two guys is too outrageous. I'm not sure I can spy on them without them noticing, so... ahem, I didn't spy on them too much."

The instigator coughed lightly and spoke in an embarrassed tone, but there was no trace of shame on his face.

Seeing this, the expression on Sylvie's face became noticeably stiff, but she didn't say much.

This was not the first time she had teamed up with the other party. She knew the other party's character very well and had almost gotten used to it.

"So, A-Dong, what specific information did you get?"

"Hmm... Rather than calling it information, it's more like a guess, right? But the specific answer may only be known by Cat."

The instigator stroked his chin, lowered his head and muttered to himself, glancing at the white cat buried in Sylvie's chest.

"Meow?"

The white cat saw the instigator's gaze and meowed in confusion, as if it didn't understand what the other party was suddenly saying.

"Cat, let me ask you a question. You should still be able to smell the scent of both of them now, right?"

"Meow."

The white cat nodded its head and opened its eyes curiously, as if wanting to know why the instigator suddenly asked this.

"Very good, then the first question is, among the 'smells' that you smell, has the smell of the performer changed?"

The instigator said this as he half squatted down, looked up at the white cat in front of him, squinted his eyes, had a nervous smile on his face, and extended an index finger.

"Meow?"

Hearing the instigator's question, the white cat blinked its eyes, a hint of doubt appeared in its vertical pupils, but it still shook its whiskers and shook its head.

"No? It's really unlucky to open the door. I didn't expect that the first guess would be wrong. It's really a headache."

When the instigator saw the white cat's reaction, he poked his head with his index finger in distress, looking like he had a headache.

"Then, the second question, Cat, can you smell it? Are there any similarities between the scents of the performer and the black sword?"

"Meow?!"

This time, the white cat first sniffed towards the sky, then widened its eyes, looked down at the instigator who was squatting, and nodded its head repeatedly.

"Good! Haha, it seems I guessed right this time?"

When the instigator saw this, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes. He whistled softly, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his somewhat neurotic expression.

Then, a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the white cat in front of him, squinted his eyes, smiled and said:

"Well, this last one is not just a question, but a request. I want you to use your tail to predict something, Cat."

"Let me think about it... I'd like to trouble you to ask your tail to divine whether the two people fighting in the sky are the same person impersonating each other?"

"?!"

When Sylvie and the white cat on her chest heard the instigator's words, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey, Adong, are you serious about what you said? The performer and the black sword are the same person. Could it be that your brain was really burned and confused when you rushed here?!"

"Don't worry, I'm more awake now than ever before. I'm so excited that I can't stop~!"

The instigator grinned, and kept digging at the brain hole on his forehead with his index finger. His eyes were full of excitement, and he looked like he was high.

"So, Cat, how did it turn out?"

“Meow… meow~!”

When the white cat heard the instigator's words, it wagged its tail and shook its head at the same time, telling the instigator the result of the divination in this way.

"Ah?"

The instigator was stunned when he saw this. He couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound and stopped scratching his head involuntarily.

"Hiss! Did I guess wrong? Weird, weird, weird, weird. My intuition tells me that this should be the most likely answer, right?"

"Hmm... How about you use your tail to tell fortunes again, Cat? This time you don't need to be so detailed, just tell whether the performer and the black sword are in cahoots."

"Meow."

This time, the white cat quickly shook its head, indicating that the divination results on its side showed that the Performer and the Black Sword were indeed in a hostile relationship.

"Well, then let's divine if they have any cooperation?"

"Nyan. (Translation: Tails said they have cooperation, but not very deep)" "Dig again, does the Black Sword really want to kill the Performer?"

"Meow! (Translation: The tail divined that the black sword seemed to want to dig out the performer's brain and eat it raw)"

"Hiss~ Do you hate him to this extent? Well, it seems that I guessed wrong. By the way, Mr. Tail was really deceived by someone, right? I remember that the boss of the Lailai Cult where Black Sword is located is very good at divination?"

"Meow! (Baring teeth, translation: Tail said that he didn't feel that the divination was interfered with, and said that if you doubt him again, he will let you go next time)"

On the street, a man and a cat were asking and answering each other, and the instigator's expression gradually changed from confidence at the beginning to a frown. He kept scratching his ears and cheeks, and the hole on his forehead was almost bleeding.

Finally, as if giving up on himself, the instigator sighed helplessly:
"They are related but not the same person, and they hate each other so much. What the hell is this relationship? Could it be that these two guys are a pair of brothers who love and hate each other?"

The instigator grabbed his head and yelled to the sky in a complaining tone. The white cat, whose eyelids were almost twitching, meowed in a daze after hearing what the other party said. Then, it suddenly started to wake up and hurriedly meowed to the instigator:

"Meow... Meow?! Meow meow! (Translation: Mr. Tail just said that although they are not brothers, they are indeed related. However, Mr. Tail cannot predict the details.)"

"?"

This time, a big question mark appeared on the face of the instigator, while Sylvie, who was almost sleepy listening to the story, suddenly became alert, and a hint of expectation appeared on her charming face:
"Mao Mao, you said that those two guys are not brothers, but they are indeed related?"

"Meow."

"Hehe, so if I can play with the Black Sword, it means I can play with the performer's family too?"

"Meow……"

"I understand, Master. They are definitely the adopted son and the principal wife. The one called Performer is most likely the adopted son, and the one called Black Sword is most likely the principal wife. I saw this in the banned book!"

"What Xiaoyi said is great. I think so too!"

"Right, right? And I feel that the adopted son called the performer must hate Black Sword on the surface, but secretly he may have developed a twisted forbidden love for him!"

"Haha, if that's the case, things will become interesting..."

This time, not only Sylvie, but even the noble girl next to her shouted excitedly and joined in with great interest.

"..."

The instigator looked at the two women who were inexplicably excited in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face. Since he opened his mind, this was the first time he felt that his thinking could not keep up with the pace.

This wonderful feeling made him enjoy it very much. After all, listening to the conversation between Sylvie and the noble girl, he had a subtle sense of pleasure that he had only felt when he first started to use his imagination, as if the whole world was under a severe impact.

……

"Pfft...Haha, hahahaha! So Lailai, you are an adopted son of a noble family. Did you hate them just to compete with them for the favor of the patriarch?"

On the other side, in the soul space, Ling Yuzi looked at the images transmitted by Xin Lailai, and couldn’t help but cover his stomach with his little hands, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.

"..."

Xin Lailai looked at the image on the screen in front of him, silently glanced at the pendant hanging on his chest, and his expression under the mask became unnatural:
……

【Starlight Pendant】

Origin:? ? ?
Quality: Special

Category: Divination tools
Durability: 6/7
Use prefix: none
Effect of use: It can be activated after injecting mana, consuming a certain amount of star power to obtain revelations of varying strengths (the more star power consumed at a single time, the clearer and more accurate the revelations obtained).

Rating: (To be determined)

Description: Tools made by people blessed by the stars possess incredible powers.

*Tip: When holding this item and being interfered with by the divination abilities of others, the divination results obtained by the divination party will be deflected by the power of the [Stars] to a 'one-sided fact' that is favorable to the holder.

*Tip: The [Divination Shift] effect produced by this item has an extremely high concealment level and cannot be detected by any non-star diviner at a level other than ■■.

……

Because his own luck value is far beyond that of ordinary contractors, as early as the first time he met Sylvie, Xin Lailai noticed that although the Nine-Evil Cat following the other party looked extremely weak, its fortune was very strange.

Therefore, after testing the other party, he used a ray of starlight without hesitation to divine the ability of the Nine-Evil Cat, and the final result was that the other party had the ability to devour the fortune of others and consume the accumulated fortune for divination.

This is why he has never had high hopes of killing the instigator. The other party obviously has a close relationship with Sylvie and Jiu E Cat. If he wants to take action against him, Jiu E Cat will definitely notice the change in his fortune and remind him in advance.

If it was an ordinary violator, he would be confident that he could suppress the other party with his absolute strength even if he received the revelation from divination. However, for an violator like the instigator who already had strong means of preserving his life, with the reminder of divination, it would be as difficult to kill him as to fight a single battle with the Scarlet Remnant without the intervention of the Major.

As for killing Jiu E Cat and Sylvies in advance? He could indeed do that, but in contrast, Jiu E Cat would definitely use all his luck power to predict the crisis for the remaining instigator among the three people in order to protect him before he died, and warn him before he died.

It can be said that when these three people gathered in the same world, the difficulty of killing the instigator was so great that only a guy like the Death Executioner could do it. This is why after killing the Scarlet Remnant, he did not choose to clean up the instigator and his group before starting the final action, but jumped directly to the battle between the Performer and the Black Sword.

But he couldn't just leave the other party alone like that, so before sending Xiaobai away from the Hellsing world, he asked Xiaobai to transplant the monitoring methods left by the mechanical guest in this world into the control program inside the Dark Steel Mech, allowing him to quietly monitor the movements of the instigator and his group through material-side technological means without any extraordinary energy fluctuations.

Everything that had just happened, until the instigator suspected the identities of Black Sword and the Performer and used the ability of the Nine-Evil Cat to seek results, was still within his expectations.

But when Sylvester and the noble girl whom the instigator found from nowhere got involved, everything became a mess.

"Haha, the performer is an unwelcome adopted son, and Black Sword is his only true love in this world. But after Black Sword entered the paradise, he fell in love with his sister Xin Lai'er and they turned their love into hatred, hahaha! Lai Lai, I think this script is more interesting than the one you thought. How about we just write it like this?"

In the soul space, Ling Yuzi held his belly and rolled over on the bed with laughter. Even the reaction of controlling Xin Lailai's body in reality slowed down by a beat.

"..."

Xin Lailai sensed Ling Yuzi's reaction, her expression was obviously a little stiff, but there was a hint of thought in her eyes.

To be honest, although it's a bit weird, the drama of this plot does seem to be more sufficient than he had imagined before?
Moreover, even among the employees in the park, the number of people who like various unique hobbies that are not allowed in the real world is much greater than that of normal people.

The most classic example is to put two girls from the Holy Light Paradise + two big men from the Watch Paradise + a pair of men and women from the Sanctuary Paradise together. What you will most likely get in the end is not three pairs of lovers, but one pair of lesbians and one pair of gays. As for the remaining pair, we have to confirm whether they are really man/woman to each other before making a conclusion.

From this perspective, setting up this kind of relationship between the performer and the black sword does seem to be able to expand the audience quite a bit, and as long as the pace is controlled within the scope of public opinion, it will not have any impact on the original audience. In terms of revenue alone, it seems to be much higher than the original script...

"Forget it. No matter what, let's stop their discussion first. Ling Yuzi, get ready. It's time to go down and collect the protection fee!"

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a while, Xin Lailai shook his head, looked at Sylvie and the noble girl who were discussing heatedly on the screen, his face darkened slightly, and he spoke to Ling Yuzi in his mind.

——Originally, he was planning to take a few more highlights in the sky, but if he didn’t go down to interrupt, the two of them would almost discuss which hole the black sword entered from!
——What kind of black sword conquered the performer with a one-meter-long ■■? This is not a ■■ at all, but a piercing rod!
If he continues to listen like this, Xin Lailai doesn’t know whether he can make money or not, but he will definitely suffer from extremely serious mental pollution!
