    Chapter 325: A Tale of Love

    Bai Yan gently shook his hand, causing the black letter that had suddenly appeared to disintegrate into fragments.

    The contents inside weren’t much, and he easily remembered them. There was no need for this letter to continue existing.

    He approached the table and took a sip of the red tea.

    The cup Bai Yan was using now was, of course, not the “Scarlet Cup” that had become a relic.

    Based on the information obtained from Dai and Alan, Bai Yan could generally ascertain that the contents written on this letter were true.

    “Dead Silence,” “Moon Witch Order.”

    Two major evil organizations had joined forces!

    But there were a few questions Bai Yan still needed to ponder.

    The first important question was: who sent this letter?

    Why did the sender want to help him?

    The way the letter had appeared hinted that it was similar to those sent by “Ji,” who, without a doubt, was his enemy.

    As Bai Yan thought about this, he felt confused. Could it be that this person had a split personality?

    “Why does he sometimes act aggressively towards me and then suddenly help me?”

    He couldn’t understand it.

    This was a truly puzzling question, and Bai Yan shook his head. Same old routine; he wouldn’t dwell on it any further.

    As for the other questions… the most crucial one was: how many enemies were there?

    At present, the confirmed enemies were “Dead Silence,” the largest cult in the world, led by Noah, and the remnants of the “Moon Witch Order.”

    But wait!

    Additionally, there was the trace of the black wizard.

    Bai Yan could determine that the person controlling Dai was indeed a black wizard.

    She might even be an enemy of Lin Bian and Alan.

    And in Bai Yan’s impression, the black wizards of this world generally held the belief that “gods are simply more powerful beings” and “there is no need to respect the gods.”

    In history, hardly any black wizards had ever joined the guild.

    “Maybe this is the work of a third party?” he mused, analyzing the situation.

    Although it wasn’t yet certain who the enemies were, the ones known at the moment were already quite formidable.

    “Dead Silence.”

    Noah, the largest guild in the world of Noah, had a history that spanned over tens of thousands of years. They had not only flourished in the world of Noah but also impacted many other worlds.

    In the realm of Noah, “Dead Silence” was just one of the numerous branches of their vast organization.

    The leader of “Dead Silence” had always been a mysterious and unpredictable figure. Many claimed that he was not from the world of Noah, but from another world.

    He had organized a major event called the “Ritual of Tranquility” that had taken place in the past.

    “Silence.”

    He was an incredibly difficult character to deal with, and his power and skills might possibly rival Glofield’s.

    As for the remnants of the Order of the Moon Witch…

    The Moon Witch Order now appeared much more destitute compared to Dead Silence. During the heyday of the “Ultimate Witch,” they might have been able to rival Dead Silence, but now they were considered a lost cause.

    From this, Bai Yan could judge that the next main adversary of the upcoming event would be Dead Silence.

    Bai Yan then began to ponder the final question: How many helpers and allies would there be for this upcoming event?

    The enemies were about to strike Annottales!

    Annottales itself also had numerous powerful beings!

    This time, without the interference of the Pupil of Chaos, in this city filled with creatures, both the saints and the Knights of the Divine Blade would undoubtedly take decisive action.

    He immediately thought of the mysterious old man.

    “Annottales’ monsters, including the ‘ultimate’ one… as long as the powerful beings of the ‘divine throne’ level don’t intervene, there is absolutely no mortal creature in this world that can match him.”

    Especially since he was fighting on his home turf, not even the world’s number one cult leader, Silence, could be mentioned in the same breath.

    Noah, the strongest person, was right here in this city.

    “Incarnation of Dark Light”

    The Savior of Dark Light, the Oracle on the earth.

    Divine Executor.

    Meanwhile, he was also the foster father of the Innocent Singer, Evie.

    Bai Yan recalled the powerful abilities of the Divine Executor in the background story of the first playthrough.

    “Even if Dead Silence and the remnants of the Moon Witch Order join forces, and assuming the Savior of Dark Light doesn’t intervene, it would be impossible for them to directly challenge the Dark Light Church headquarters.”

    Because the old man was there.

    “So, in order for Dead Silence to achieve its goal, it must be clever.”

    Outside the window, it was still raining. At that moment, Bai Yan sensed that someone in the Tulip Manor had awakened.

    “Hmm, Dai has awakened,” he murmured to himself as he took a sip of his tea.

    After Bai Yan used his mystical powers to comfort her, Dai, who had just awakened, started to feel much better. However, she still felt a little dizzy and disoriented.

    “What have I just experienced?”

    She slowly sat up in bed, resting her hand on her forehead.

    “How strange… Why can’t I remember anything?”

    Dai’s memories, which were

    recently manipulated by

    someone, had already been

    erased by Bai Yan.

    This nightmarish experience,

    like being controlled by a

    puppet, was filled with despair

    and needed to be forgotten

    completely.

    Bai Yan used his telepathic

    power to observe every

    movement of the people in the

    Tulip Manor. He repeatedly

    made sure that there were no

    problems with anyone inside

    the estate.

    Even so, Bai Yan still didn’t let

    his guard down.

    In fact, since the enemy wasn’t

    completely defeated, how

    could one possibly let their

    guard down?

    “Hmm… I should do

    something… Let’s find

    someone to go with me to

    Dai’s house nearby and take a

    look.”

    INT.

    When Bai Yan made this

    choice, INT told him that it was

    the right one.

    “Oh, I understand now… It

    seems there are still some

    things that haven’t been

    completely solved.”

    Inside the Babel Tower.

    Sitting on the marble throne, the incarnation of Bai Yan gazed calmly at the cellphone in his hand.

    The Game of the Babel Tower.

    “Emergency mission.”

    “Location: Annottales”

    “Please choose a Core

    Operator for deployment.”

    “I’ve made a choice.”

    “Hidden Azure.”

    Thirteenth City District.

    The heavy rain nearly engulfed

    the streets.

    The water kept rising.

    Bai Yan had arrived at Dai’s

    memory place.

    In a gentleman’s Western-style

    black suit, tightly holding a

    walking cane, with gray hair at

    his temples, Viscount Edmond

    appeared.

    “Is this the place?” Bai Yan’s

    voice was steady and calm.

    Meanwhile, Bai Yan, who

    stayed inside the Babel Tower,

    received a new emergency

    mission from “Babel Tower”

    through his phone, as his

    incarnation.

    The location of the new

    emergency mission also

    pointed to this area.

    This mission is very likely

    related to Dai’s family, Bai Yan

    had this feeling in his heart.

    “Has he arrived?”

    Bai Yan smiled and looked to

    the side. A thick black mist

    surged up, and before long, the

    figure of Kaluoer, dressed in a

    black and white maid outfit,

    slowly emerged from it.

    “I need someone, and

    someone needs me.”

    She was sent by Bai Yan’s

    incarnation through the “Babel

    Tower” game.

    Kaluoer remained silent.

    She glanced around and knelt

    before Bai Yan, just like a true

    assassin.

    “Just now, the ‘Savior’ spoke to

    me and said that I have been

    chosen… Is there a mission?”

    The Wolf-Eared Girl’s tone was

    neither sad nor happy.

    “Yes.”

    Bai Yan nodded and calmly

    said, “Can you sense it? The

    atmosphere here feels very

    strange.”

    He finished speaking and took

    an umbrella out from inside

    the Babel Tower using a

    “mysterious ring.” He stepped

    forward and opened it to shield

    Kaluoer.

    Kaluoer could certainly sense

    that something was amiss.

    In this neighborhood, there

    was a sense of eerie silence

    hanging in the air.

    It was very strange.

    What on earth was affecting

    my “sense of smell”?

    She had a peculiar obsession

    with cleanliness, so much so

    that it affected her inspiration.

    The more wicked and

    bloodthirsty a person was, the

    more foul and repugnant they

    appeared in Kaluoer’s “sense

    of smell.” On the other hand,

    kind and innocent individuals

    emitted a variety of pleasant

    scents, along with other

    intriguing smells.

    And the scent that greeted her

    here had an aura of “ominous

    stillness.”

    Perhaps, this was the essence

    of the soul.

    In terms of the sense of soul,

    so far it had always been very

    accurate.

    Kaluoer knew that the

    exception to this was the

    “Keeper of Secrets” Viscount

    Edmond.

    The scent emanating from him

    was incredibly chaotic, as if

    multiple fragrances

    intertwined, impossible to

    separate and fully blend

    together.

    This must have been some

    sort of intentional

    concealment, don’t you think?

    She had wished for it so much.

    “What should I do? Kill

    everyone here?”

    Kaluoer, kneeling on one knee,

    calmly made a proposal

    without showing any

    expression on her face.

    At the next moment, a heavy

    black staff was pressed

    against her fair neck.

    Bai Yan continued to hold the

    umbrella for the girl, but the

    aura of death emanating from

    the black staff was

    undeniable.

    “When I ask you to take a life,

    only then can you do it… Only

    by agreeing to this shared

    principle can we cooperate.”

    After a moment of silence,

    Kaluoer asked again, “Because,

    are you my master?”

    “Viscount Edmond” smiled and

    said, “If you absolutely need a

    master, then I willingly take on

    the role of being your guiding

    rope, becoming your guardian.”

    He raised his hand to stroke

    Kaluoer’s white ears gently. A

    faint light flickered in his eyes,

    like a fleeting memory.

    “You are… special.”
