Chapter 1610 Saint Chloe
“No.”
Charles shook his head, “This church was built at the end of the 17th century. After the mist descended, it remained abandoned until a few years ago when Saint Chloe led us here and transformed it into our dwelling place within the mist.”
“Was it also Chloe who created the barrier that dispels the mist here?”
“That’s right, only the Saint could perform such a miracle.” Charles’s eyes revealed a fanatical reverence.
“When did Chlo… your Saint arrive here?” Number 27 asked with a frown, following behind Lin Qiye.
“About six or seven years ago,” Charles answered. “If not for Lady Saint, we might have been trapped forever in that ‘Human Circle’.”
“You were previously kept in the ‘Human Circle’?”
“Yes, it was an extremely dangerous small world. We had to bathe our bodies in the blood of divine beasts to gain power, and we could only survive by sticking together. The Knight Order was established during that time.”
Lin Qiye finally understood how these knights had survived the mist. They were residents of the “Human Circle,” essentially similar to Amemiya Haruki and the others, though with a somewhat different power system.
Just then, as if remembering something, he asked, “Do you know Jinian?”
“Jinian? The silver-haired girl?” Charles nodded. “Yes, I know her. She originally wanted to take us to [Utopia], but we refused. We preferred to follow in the Saint’s footsteps… However, she did take one of our Knight Commanders with her.”
In Lin Qiye’s mind, the image of the blonde knight he had seen in the Shangxie Association immediately surfaced. So he had once been a member of the [Holy Judgment Knight Order]? No wonder he could display such powerful abilities using only his physical body.
The four followed Charles through the church for several minutes, finally stopping in front of a tightly closed door.
“The Saint is inside,” Charles said with utmost seriousness. “Remember, once inside, you must not speak loudly. Do not try to wake the Saint, and do not get too close to her… Understand?”
“Wake her?” Hearing this word, Lin Qiye keenly sensed something. “Is she sleeping? Or…”
“Once you go in, you’ll understand.”
Charles placed both hands on the door’s surface, his arm muscles bulging as he slowly pushed open the heavy door without making the slightest sound.
Through the gradually widening gap, everyone could finally see what was behind the door.
It was a spacious sanctuary. Hundreds of candles arranged around the room illuminated it brightly. In the center of the sanctuary, on a stone platform, a red-haired young woman lay quietly on a snow-white velvet surface, her eyes closed as if asleep.
Upon seeing the young woman, Number 27’s brows furrowed slightly beneath his hood.
So that’s Chloe?
Lin Qiye’s gaze fell on the young woman’s face. Although she was still in slumber, her face, like carved white jade, emanated an aura of serene elegance, like an elf from the heavenly realm, sacred and inviolable.
“What happened to her?” Lin Qiye asked in a lowered voice.
“Lady Saint has fallen into a deep slumber.”
“Deep slumber?”
“We don’t know the details. Before Lady Saint fell into slumber, she told us that she needed to fulfill a promise… and instructed us not to wake her no matter what happens,” Charles answered.
Lin Qiye glanced back at Number 27, who had furrowed his brows, lost in thought.
“How long has she been asleep?”
“Five years.”
Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye’s expression turned somewhat helpless. If Chloe had been in slumber for five years and couldn’t be awakened, how could he ask her about the files?
“May I go up and take a closer look?”
“No.” Charles’s expression immediately turned serious. “I have already fulfilled your request to see Lady Saint. Please do not disturb her slumber any further. Leave immediately.”
Charles placed one hand on the hilt of his sword and gestured toward the door with his other hand.
Shen Qingzhu and the others looked back at Lin Qiye, seemingly waiting for his decision… After all, if Lin Qiye wanted to use brute force to take Chloe away, they could certainly do it.
After a long silence, Lin Qiye nodded. “Alright, we’ll leave now.”
Charles’s expression relaxed slightly. Just as he was about to lead Lin Qiye and the others out of the sanctuary, something unexpected happened!
The red-haired young woman sleeping on the snow-white velvet suddenly trembled her eyelashes, and in the next moment, a terrifying white light burst forth from her body, instantly engulfing half the sanctuary and shooting up like flames!
In the dead silence of London’s ruins, a pillar of white light tore the black night in two.
As this white light appeared, Lin Qiye and the others’ expressions changed dramatically. Even Charles hadn’t expected that Chloe, who had been in deep slumber for five years, would suddenly release such a terrifying aura.
Amidst the surging white light, a shadowy figure darted out and precisely struck Lin Qiye’s chest!
Lin Qiye felt his vision go dark and immediately lost consciousness.
…
In the mist.
Within the canyon’s reflection.
A dark figure holding a model of a mental hospital sat at the top of the canyon, brows furrowed. Streams of chaotic divine light circled around him, seeping into the model through the patterns on his palm.
Just then, as if sensing something, He suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward a certain direction.
“Yeland? No, that’s not right, this aura is much weaker… But it’s definitely His power. Could it be a proxy? ”
[Chaos] put away the model of the Gods’ Mental Hospital and closed his eyes to sense carefully for a moment. “He actually still has a proxy in this world… That could be troublesome.”
[Chaos] was about to stand up when his gaze fell on the hospital model in his palm, causing him to hesitate… Even if Yeland had a proxy, it was just a human. Even if left alone, it shouldn’t cause any major problems. What’s truly important right now is to fully control this hospital.
After pondering for a long time, [Chaos]’s gaze fell on the mist-shrouded cliff opposite him, and a faint smile curled his lips.
“Truth, go eliminate that proxy.”
From the churning mist, a figure in a black robe slowly emerged. He coldly glanced at [Chaos] and said, “Why should I listen to you?”
“Yeland’s power is tricky and might affect us… As one of us, shouldn’t you contribute your strength to this matter?” [Chaos] spoke leisurely. “Or are you simply trying to stall for time with me?”
[Chaos]’s eyes narrowed, and a terrifying pressure enveloped An Qingyu.
An Qingyu frowned slightly. After staring at [Chaos] for a moment, he withdrew his gaze and turned to walk toward the outside of the mist.
“You can test me, but this is the last time…”
