Chapter 452: ‘Meeting an Acquaintance’

In this wilderness of Yuguang Land, which is full of light and hope, the God Drive is running at a very high speed.

A long time has passed. I don’t know if it is an illusion, but as the position gets closer to Yuguang City, Ye Lan always feels that his vision is foggy.

After adjusting the direction several times in succession, Ye Lan finally saw the night house that had revealed its appearance not far away.

After confirming that the psychological invisibility of the crystal ball was in operation, Ye Lan did not approach rashly, but stopped on the spot.

Not far away, Ye Lan could already see the complete outline of Yuguang City.

Nestled beside the mountains and rivers, set against the warmest light, the wonders exude luster and flow, so magnificent.

A huge temple can be seen in the center and highest point of Yuguang City. Its height is so high that it looks like it is overlapping with the sun in the sky from the ground.

Leading to the temple is a row of stairs with a length of more than ten meters and a 45-degree slope going straight up and down.

It was like the road leading to the main hall in an ancient imperial palace. Of course, the stairs leading to the temple were longer and farther.

"Manman, was Yu Guangcheng like this before?" Ye Lan suddenly turned her head.

Hearing this, Xia Manman was slightly stunned, and looked carefully at the outline of Yu Guangcheng in front of her. After hesitating for a long time, she nodded.

"Yes."

She knew that Ye Lan's question probably meant that Ye Lan had discovered something wrong or unusual. But unfortunately, she really tried hard to see, but she didn't see any problems.

"Maybe... a little darker than before?"

Xia Manman said this casually, but she suddenly realized something and became alert.

A little darker?

Yes! It's noon now, the time of the day when the light is the brightest, how could it be a little darker?

Ye Lan nodded gently, thinking.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but I almost got lost several times just now." Ye Lan hesitated and said, "But I don't think it's my own fault, even though it's my first time here."

Ah?

Xia Manman looked a little strange.

Lost?

There are no small gathering points in Yuguang Land, only a few large gathering points that are lonely compared to the vast land.

This results in almost no forks along the way, especially between cities, which are basically a straight road that goes straight to the two cities.

How can you get lost?

How can you get lost?

On a road like this, getting lost is also a talent, right?

"Yes." Ye Lan knew what she was thinking and shrugged helplessly: "That's why I said, this is definitely not my problem."

"...Uh." Xia Manman reminded her in a friendly way: "You have so many abnormalities. I heard that each abnormality has its own influence and characteristics. Do you think it could be..."

"No." Ye Lan's mouth twitched, and Xia Manman almost broke her train of thought: "Have you ever seen me lose my way?"

"...Yes."

At this moment, Xia Manman suddenly realized a very important problem.

"Where are the people in Lieyang Town?" She asked with some vigilance: "We have seen the night house, and this group of people should be nearby..."

Before she finished speaking, it seemed as if the air was trembling in her sight, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged.

"This is..."

Xia Manman showed an incredible expression, and then Ye Lan gave her the answer.

"Psychological invisibility."

Thinking of what happened just now, Ye Lan thought: "And it should also have the effect of getting lost."

"I know, meow!" At this moment, the cat of the mind suddenly shouted loudly: "It must be the confused butterfly, meow!"

Confused butterfly?

Hearing this familiar name, Ye Lan thought about it.

"What should I do now?" Xia Manman couldn't help asking.

Although Ye Lan said many times that he would find Pope Yuhui, when the time came, she still didn't know how Ye Lan was going to operate.

"Don't panic, first see the person responsible for the abnormality here."

After saying that, Ye Lan's whole body of spiritual energy surged, and a deep blue mist burst out.

"Swallow!"

Ye Lan's power was like a tiger, biting the huge but thin mist. In an instant, the spiritual energy covering the entire Lieyang Town camp with thousands of people became agitated.

That was suspicion and panic.

After swallowing a small bite, Ye Lan stood directly in the middle of the transfer road, waiting motionlessly.

Soon, Xia Manman's eyes suddenly showed a confused look.

"What am I... doing? Why do I have to go back to Yuguang Land? Just for the so-called revenge..."

"This kind of revenge goes back and forth. I take revenge on others. After I succeed, others' friends take revenge on me. After I succeed again, my friends take revenge on others... It goes on and on, and hatred is passed down from generation to generation. It's like an unsolvable knot. Is it really meaningful?"

"It's like the weird 'jianghu' thousands of years ago..."

Xia Manman paused, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly withered.

"How can I retreat now that things have come to this..."

"But... what about the righteousness of the world? If my sister really died at the hands of the Pope, but the Pope himself has no big problems with his character and is a trustworthy partner in dealing with the threat of the wasteland, should I really take revenge on the Pope because of personal grudges?"

"Will this plunge the entire wasteland into turmoil? Will Ye Lan have a hard time in Yuguang Land because of me?"

"... Hey." Ye Lan couldn't listen any longer and patted Xia Manman's head, making her completely confused.

"... Ah?" Xia Manman's face was full of confusion, and Ye Lan was already a little amused and wanted to roll his eyes.

"What are you talking about? Are you going to say what the meaning of life is and why you live in the next sentence?"

Xia Manman:...

The good atmosphere was completely destroyed by Ye Lan, but it also made her sober up in an instant, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes.

"I just..."

"Yes." Beautiful dots of fluorescent light began to flicker in front of Ye Lan's eyes, and finally they were inextricably linked together and condensed into a ball.

In the end, it turned into the shape of a butterfly!

"Confused Butterfly!"

"Boss."

A slightly coquettish voice came.

In fact, Ye Lan didn't know what to say when encountering such a scene, but fortunately, there was a kitten by her side this time.

"Xiaodie meow! It's you meow! I knew it meow!"

The Cat of the Heart jumped out happily, and the transition between reality and illusion scared the Confused Butterfly.

Perhaps it should be said that for flying creatures, any cat creature that jumps at them face to face is very scary, right?

"Boss, help me... Eh? Kitten sister?"

"That's right meow! It's me meow!"

Xia Manman:...

Really? Is this abnormal?

Looking at this somewhat outrageous reunion after a long separation, Ye Lan's mouth twitched slightly, interrupted the two people's reminiscing, and pointed to the scene.

"Where is this?"

"... Oh oh." Confused Butterfly blinked, and after confirming that it was indeed Ye Lan himself, he began to tell the story.

"Because the human pope saw the Eternal Night Cathedral following him, he felt uneasy, so he asked the two of us to escort them through the wartime abnormal mobilization regulations formulated by the Pure Sunset."

"However, you should know clearly that I can't do anything to ordinary people." Ye Lan nodded gently, but seemed a little unwilling to give in:

"In such a troubled time, you are willing to send two abnormalities to escort a team of civilians. Isn't it a bit too extravagant?"

Maybe it's hard to understand this way, but it will be very clear if you change the way you say it.

When the crisis broke out in the Dawn Fortress, if there were two more abnormalities in the fortress, the outcome might be completely different.

"That's right, I don't know why, but the human pope attaches great importance to this group of ordinary people." Confused Butterfly said: "In my opinion, he doesn't seem to be very worried that the Eternal Night Cult will do something that will anger the heavens and the people."

"Sending us here is ostensibly to hide the traces of these people, but in fact, it is actually to hide his tracks!"
