Chapter 444: Mourning and Fear

After confirming that "Father" was not seriously injured, Xu Jing came to Zhao Chengkong who was sitting against the wall, and said with a gloomy face:

"Now that the two of them are dead... there are less than five S-level secret keepers available in the Secret Guarding Bureau..."

"Sorry, Director." Zhao Chengkong, who had returned to his normal form, lowered his head guiltily:

"It's my fault that I didn't protect them well."

"It's my fault too." Xu Jing sighed heavily: "If I had succeeded in persuading you at that time, it would have been fine..."

She had secretly sent a message to Zhao Chengkong before, urging him to wait and see for the time being and not to act rashly, and the intention behind it was naturally to let the hermit take his life in exchange for the safety of others.

Zhao Chengkong shook his head:

"We must fight back at that time to let her know our attitude. Otherwise, after the hermit dies, it will be too late for us to take our turn."

"You are too radical." Xu Jing looked deeply at the ordinary-looking man in front of him and said:

"Your idea is fine for most weird things, but she is the 'Queen of Scarlet Moon'... Her words can be selectively believed."

"Moreover, the state of 'Father' needs to be stabilized, and it is not suitable to participate in high-intensity battles for the time being."

"But it's meaningless to say all this now. Since she has returned and recovered a lot of her state, it can be expected that she will be in trouble next time. The next federal parliament will have a heated discussion about the policy towards the ‘Queen of Scarlet Moon’…”

“Ahem…” Zhao Chengkong coughed and laughed:

“Are we going to wipe her out at all costs, or seek coexistence? That’s a question.”

“Even I’ve been defeated. The next time the ‘Queen’ appears, she will undoubtedly be even more powerful than she is now. It’s too risky to rely on ‘Father of Heaven’ to deal with her and the dragon alone.”

Xu Jing also understood this truth. At present, it seems that “Father of Heaven”, as one of the few trump cards of the Federation and the Empire, cannot be bet all on the battle with the ‘Queen of Scarlet Moon’.

But the next second, Zhao Chengkong suddenly changed the subject:

"But no matter how the Federation's attitude towards her changes, I will still fight her. One of us is bound to fall."

Xu Jing closed his eyes helplessly, as if he had expected it:

"You are still the same. When it comes to fighting, you are like a paranoid."

"It's not because of this." Zhao Chengkong's eyes were burning with anger:

"She took away the gift of 'war' and blasphemed the goddess. If I can't kill her with my own hands, I might as well die to apologize to the goddess."

"But..." Xu Jing frowned, "Your body..."

"You found it." Zhao Chengkong grinned and said disapprovingly:

"That's right, because the guide of the gods The power has been in my body for too long, I really don't have much time left to live, that's why I want to fight her to the death. "

"So I have to rest for a while, and then help you deal with the traitor in the Secret Guard Bureau..."

...

Not far away, Prince Yellen looked at the soldiers putting out fires everywhere and sighed:

"General Drake, your decision is right, otherwise I can only take your remains back home."

Beside him, the commander of the personal guards said with a lingering fear without showing any expression on his face:

"Respected Prince, thank you for forgiving my cowardly behavior... I'm afraid I can't even hold on for three seconds in her hands, and I will be strangled and sucked dry by her spider silk..."

"Three seconds...hiss..." Yellen couldn't help but take a breath.

"Human-shaped natural disaster-level weirdness... is so terrifying..."

It turns out that in front of the 'Queen', the S-level extraordinary person can only squeeze out a clean blood bag in a snap of a finger...

...

"Captain... is he dead?"

Qin Zhiyan murmured, like a question, like talking to herself.

When the three blood-colored silk cocoons were opened, they were all empty, without even a trace of residue left.

"When the leader comes back, I will avenge him."

The Harvest Priest came over and patted Qin Zhiyan's shoulder to comfort her, but the former's eyes were already filled with sadness.

Morey looked at Beilin with a bitter face: "It seems that we were the ones who introduced Ye Zhi to join the 'New World'. This matter... we seem to have an unshirkable responsibility..."

"Don't blame you." The Harvest Priest wiped his eyes and forced a reassuring smile:

"The top leaders of the 'New World' actually had some doubts about her identity a long time ago. After verification, they found out that her true identity was..."

"In the battle in the empire, Victor, Claire, Janet and two S-level secret keepers died on the spot, and they just barely put her into the dreamland."

"No one thought at the time that she would be able to come back, and it was only a few days later..."

Looking at the people who fell into silence and numbness, the Harvest Priest thought that the hermit and the viewer were no longer there, and he couldn't help but hope that everything in front of him was a dream.

If only it were a dream.

If that existence hadn't returned... the world probably wouldn't have become so sad and desperate.

Just as the Harvest Priest was about to sink into his emotions, Xu Jing walked over.

"Ms. Harvest, I want to know from you, what did the 'Queen' say to you before she left?"

"She...asked me the location of the ruins of the 'Far North Underground Cave'." The Harvest Priest said with restrained emotions.

"Far North again." Xu Jing looked towards the north under the night sky:

"Why did she go there?"

Because of the joint action with the "New World", Xu Jing knew that the Radiant One had revealed that the "Crimson Moon Queen" tried to help the "Spider God" revive.

But as the highest authority in the Secret Keeping Bureau, she was highly alert to high-ranking beings, so she did not completely believe the oracle handed down by the "Glorious Golden Goddess".

She believed that the true identity of the "Crimson Moon Queen" did not seem to be as simple as the incarnation of the "Spider God".

Because she had found the honorific name of the ancient "Spider God" in the warehouse with the highest seal level in the Secret Keeping Bureau.

And that string of honorific spells was very different from the honorific names of "Original Night" and "Spider God" circulated in the Federation, and they were not the same god at all.

…

The Statue of Liberty Empire, the capital of Tis, St. Suli Cathedral.

"You said... she's back?!"

A sudden and sharp female voice sounded from the classical room.

"In addition, there is another unfortunate news, Mr. Hermit... he died, died at the hands of the 'Crimson Moon Queen'."

Saint Luan clasped his hands together, made a mourning gesture, and then put them on the tip of his nose, and said in a deep voice.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Catherine took three steps back and stared at Bishop Saint-Louan in a daze. Her face suddenly twisted, and it was hard to tell whether it was surprise or fear.

Or, both.

Outsiders had no way of knowing her inner thoughts. Under her dull beautiful face, there were overwhelming emotions and explosive information boiling.

After four or five seconds of daze, she began to pace in place as if she had lost her soul, and kept whispering:

"It's impossible... It's impossible... It must be fake..."
