Chapter 210
"Lunchtime has arrived, Mr. Moriarty."
Usually, it would be a maid from Lady Helen's household who came to call Bai Yan for his meal, but today, it was Sylve waiting outside the door to call him instead.
Recently, due to the successful adjusted training by Bai Yan, she not only studied hard but also became very obedient when facing 'Teacher Moriarty'.
"Well, I know now, Sylve."
Bai Yan glanced at his phone and saw that he had already obtained the "White Achievement - Cult Cleaner" and also gained 150 Source Energy Points.
In other words, Alan has completed the task assigned to him.
The current number of points is enough to draw a ten-consecutive draw.
Very well.
He didn't immediately summon, but calmly left the room. First, he rubbed Sylve's head who had lowered hers, then the two went to the restaurant together.
Lady Helen sat elegantly in the main seat of the restaurant in her deep blue autumn attire, smiling as she looked at Bai Yan.
"During this period, Mr. Moriarty has really worked hard."
"It's alright, I don't feel very tired. Although Sylve's talent is not top-notch, she is indeed very hardworking... This makes me feel relieved."
Bai Yan also smiled and chatted with Lady Helen while eating.
Upon hearing herself being praised, Sylve's eyes showed a hint of joy.
She was originally very afraid of Mr. Moriarty, but recently found out that he is not a sadist, just rather strict.
I got punished because I was not good enough!
Yes, as long as I respond to his expectations with greater effort, I will not suffer any punishment.
I may even receive a reward...
Punishment is given for mistakes, and rewards for good performance; Bai Yan is only doing the most basic form of clear rewards and punishments.
After dinner, Lady Helen left early because she had something to attend to.
While Bai Yan pulled out a small pendant made of green stone and gave it to Sylve, who was sitting next to him.
He said calmly:
"This is a Relic named 'Green Heart', which has enough defensive ability to resist bullet impacts, but the price is losing a night's sleep every time the wearer is attacked... This is not a serious price compared to getting injured."
Sylve was stunned and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she asked in confusion, "Is this for me, Mr. Moriarty?"
"Yes."
Bai Yan nodded gently and said, "You have worked hard and you know how to change. I have seen everything and watched you all along."
He deliberately made his voice sound gentle enough.
Money is not a problem for Bai Yan, so ordinary Relic can be bought with money. And this level of Relic is almost useless for Crown level battles.
Therefore, he gave his own Relic that he didn't need to Sylve.
Deepen her feeling of 'trust'.
As a result, Sylve was naturally ecstatic, the girl trembled all over, and tears were about to come out.
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
Sylve was really excited, her effort for the past few days had paid off. So, she cautiously put away the pendant.
Well, 'trust' and 'happiness' are about to be achieved, just a little bit more.
Bai Yan didn't want to pay attention to her at all. He shook his head and turned away.
As an experimental subject, Sylve can be considered a fairly qualified 'little bunny', and is diligently helping him complete the Crown Ceremony.
She has many uses for him.
Now is not the time to clarify the 'truth' and make distinctions.
When the time is ripe, she will trigger her 'sorrow' and 'hatred'.
According to the requirements of the Puppet Dance ritual, 'Moriarty' must be the corresponding emotional target of Sylve.
Bai Yan didn't return to his own room but came to the yard of the villa. He stood calmly under the tree shade and took out his phone.
"Alright, let's begin." 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦
Summoning starts!
The pool to be drawn this time is "Different Dimensions".
Extremely familiar, he clicked on the summon interface and started a ten consecutive summon. Bai Yan's mood didn't seem as excited as it used to be.
First summon!
"Possibility! Fairy Tale Demon King - Queen of the Scarlet Moon (Seven Days)"
Oh, this.
Bai Yan was stunned. The last time he tried his luck on the Skin Pool, he also obtained the Fairy Tale Demon King skin in his first draw.
Two seven-day periods combined together, then become permanent.
"Phew, now I have this guy's skin, and I have already drawn nine fragements...very good, too good."
For some reason, at this moment, Bai Yan had a desperate thought flashing through his mind.
If, and only if, it is just an if...
Is there a possibility of such a thing?
In future gachapon pools, could it be possible that I won't be able to draw the final piece of Queen of the Scarlet Moon, no matter how much I try, even if I put in ten thousand Source Energy Points, could I possibly avoid it?
Even until the later stages of Babel Tower's progress, when the initial strength of Queen of the Scarlet Moon is no longer important, I suddenly drew her out...
"......"
He fell silent.
As the thought was too terrifying, akin to having spilled a night's worth of dishes while serving, Bai Yan couldn't bring himself to think any further.
He quickly clicked on the second hidden card face.
Second summon!
"Potentiality! Dream Voyeur ? Truth Scholar (7 Days)"
This is a specialized skin of Truth Scholar, Dream Voyeur.
Refers to the stance of Truth Scholar in this world line: abandoning the original position of observing all truths, to keep records and organize the world through letters.
She became obsessed with the dream world, constantly peering into it and keeping records of it.
In this world line, Truth Scholar is linked to the 'Nightmare King' among the Outer Gods, possessing unimaginable power in the dream world.
However, in the real world, Truth Scholar is powerless and even weaker and more frail than an average person.
"Similar to the situation with 'Psychic Dancer', the true strong ones won't be too affected by attacks in the domain of the mind... Nonetheless, the ability module of this skin can still work wonders in many situations and is considered decent."
Third summon!
"World Line Change Fragment · Shadow Kingdom×1"
"Why is it this thing again... Is there someone in the Shadow Kingdom waiting for me?"
Never ending, right? Why is it always you every time? Oh well, I can always discard you later during regret phase.
Bai Yan shook his head.
Fourth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment · Shadow Kingdom×1"
I...
What's going on?
"Okay then."
Bai Yan sighed and decided to let his memory skip its emergence.
Fifth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment · Sky Garden×1"
Sixth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment · Minoan Labyrinth×1"
Seventh summon!
"World Line Change Fragment - Pyramid of the Sun×1"
The continuous appearance of World Line Change Fragments is making Bai Yan increasingly dissatisfied. While it would be great to witness something extraordinary directly, who would want a mere one-tenth of a fragment anyway.
Eighth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment – Parc des Ailes×1"
Are all the remaining summons going to be World Line Change Fragments, by any chance?
Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat.
According to legend, with Canglong's help, those who cross the river will arrive at a vast grey plain called the "Field of Truth."
This path leads to two different destinations, one leading to the place of happiness - Parc des Ailes, and the other leading to the place of pain - Hell.
The departed souls are judged by the three judges of the underworld, Minos, Radamanthus, and Aeacus, at the judgment platform in front of the Field of Truth.
The guilty individuals receive punishment in Hell that corresponds to the severity of their crimes, whereas the innocent ones can enjoy a life of happiness and prosperity without worries in the beautiful and peaceful Parc des Ailes.
Between Parc des Ailes and Hell, there stands a magnificent and colossal palace, which is the residence of Hades, the god of the underworld, and his queen, Persephone.
Bai Yan still remembers that Parc des Ailes was a wonder that he had never encountered during his first playthrough, and he was unsure about its effects.
Ninth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment · Tartarus×1"
Alright, Hell is coming too.
Although Tartarus is a relatively good Wonder Fragment, Bai Yan still feels a bit uncomfortable about it.
Tenth summon!
"World Line Change Fragment - Pyramid of the Sun×1"
Bai Yan took a deep breath and got up to go to the bathroom outside, where he carefully washed his hands.
Okay.
You can now change your discard, and you have three chances left. It's okay...
"I hope that I won't end up being so unlucky all the time, right?"
Bai Yan smiled bitterly at himself in the mirror in the bathroom.
He selected three useless fragments, "Sky Garden," "Pyramid of the Sun," and "Minoan Labyrinth."
"Change discard!"
