Edward laughed. "It's a deal!"

Chapter 644: Meeting Medici and Pales

Backlund, the underground palace of Williams Street. ^0-0^小!税+網*¨No?Error, content!

Edward arrived with Lilith, lighting up the darkness here.

After a brief period of calm, the underground palace suddenly shook violently. For a moment, the dust rolled, surged and twisted, and tried to form a line of text several times, but it was immediately disrupted and disappeared.

Edward took out a brass stick from his space pocket and threw it in front of the blood-stained door. Suddenly, Medici's astonished voice was heard: "Lilith? You are Lilith? You... are not dead? How could you not be dead?!"

Lilith wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Are you disappointed that I'm not dead? Medici?!"

"No! I saw you die with my own eyes..."

"At our level, is it rare to come back to life without dying completely? It's just like you who didn't die completely." Lilith shook her head and walked forward, "But you seem to be even more miserable than me. The Red Angel used to be so manly and looked down on women, but now he has merged with the souls of two women. Humph! This is the retribution for your contempt for women!"

"When did I look down on women?!"

Medici said angrily: "I simply look down on Chike!"

"How many times did I tell you that there was something wrong with her, but you just didn't believe me. You deserved to be killed by her later!"

Just after saying this, He said again: "No! I don't believe Lilith is still alive. Boy, is this little girl playing some trick on you?"

Edward shook his head. "Do you think I am in the mood to play any tricks with you in my current state, Mr. Medici?"

"But..."

Medici hesitated to speak, but soon asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

"Cursed."

"Cursed again? Who did you mess with? Chick?"

"That's about right. - Fox? Love ￠ Mosquito-hole +, free* Yue* Desecration-"

Edward said, "Mr. Medici, I am about to enter a deep sleep to fight death. I came here to say goodbye to you. Perhaps it will be a hundred years before we meet again."

"…"

Medici's voice was silent for a moment, "Then...what about that ghost's misery competition?"

"No more."

"Haha, you really are the president! So you were acting at the time?"

"Um."

Although Medici almost betrayed him in the future, he was later locked in Priscilla's body and became a friendly camp. In addition, he seemed to have had a good relationship with Lilith, so Edward actually had no ill feelings towards him.

"You will be released after about 190 years. Please wait a little longer. Of course, if Lilith encounters any danger along the way, someone will come to release you in advance. I hope you can help Lilith then."

Medici snorted, "Why do we have to wait 190 years? Why is the number so accurate? What on earth do you want to do?" He paused, "Lilith... I will assume that you are the real Lilith. Tell me what's going on."

Lilith shook her head. "You can think of it as fate."

"I don't believe this!"

"But some things will happen even if you don't believe them, just like when you reminded me that Chike had problems, I didn't believe it. I also reminded you not to rush to become a red priest, but you obviously didn't believe it later." Lilith pouted and said, "So, we both ended up like this."

Medici: "…"

"Otherwise, I will become the original witch and you will become the red priest. Then we can play three rounds of rock-paper-scissors to decide who will become the destructive disaster in the end."

"Tsk, I won't play rock-paper-scissors with you, you always cheat!"

"Hehehe. -k/u`nl,u^no*i*l,s\.¨c·o+m·"

Lilith laughed, "How about we do it again now?"

"Oh? What's the bet?"

"Let's bet... on who will be promoted to the Red Priest."

"???"

Medici was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage: "Are you crazy? I helped you a lot in the beginning, and now you want to snatch the Red Priest from me?"

"But if I don't jump the Red Priest, I won't be strong enough to seek revenge on Chike."

"I can help you get revenge!"

Lilith blinked and said, "But I am a free man now, and I have 190 years more than you."

"grass...%...&...%&...&%"

Medici cursed, "Is this the real reason why you deliberately waited 190 years to let me go?"

"So, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"…"

After three minutes of silence, Medici said in a gloomy voice: "Okay! Bet!"

Lilith said, "What are you going to do?"

Medici said coldly: "I will give you something that looks like rock, but can turn into scissors or paper at any time."

"…"

Lilith looked at Edward: "He used my words."

Edward: "…"

Medici urged impatiently: "It's your turn, Lilith!"

Lilith thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll make something that will turn you into paper when you are rock, into rock when you are scissors, and into scissors when you are paper."

"...I fuck you...&...%&%...&%"

"Then, I win."

Lilith pinched her waist and smiled, "Red Priest, it's mine."

Edward rubbed her head and said, "Mr. Medici, I am on the same side with you regarding the Red Priest. After all, I don't want Lilith to become a man."

"So, I will try my best to avoid Lilith dancing the Red Priest dance. This is also my reward for your help in taking care of Lilith."

Medici snorted coldly: "Haha, a blank check is of no use!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Medici,"

Edward waved his hand to take back the brass stick, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly towards the blood-stained door, "See you in one hundred and ninety years."

The two figures disappeared into the underground palace.

After a long silence, Medici's voice broke through the seal and said intermittently: "Lilith...was that...really...you? Are you...really...resurrected?"

...

When Edward saw Pales, he was still lying in a rocking chair in the yard basking in the sun like an ordinary old man as usual.

The evil spirits brought out from "Groselle's Travels" are not here.

"Mr. Pales."

"You're finally here. I haven't heard from you since that day. I don't even know what happened to you." Pales muttered, "You don't know how terrifying it was when Zaratul was trying to kill us. I'm only a Sequence 1, and I was almost crippled by Zaratul…"

As he was speaking, he saw Lilith beside Edward, "Huh? Who is she?"

Pales sat up straight and stared at Lilith in surprise, "You are..."

"Have you forgotten me, little Pales?"

"…"

Having been an ancestor for thousands of years, Pales felt that he had been unlucky recently. He always met people of higher "generations", first the three elves, the giant and the ascetic, and now this one too - fortunately, they had all gone to Sonia Island now, so that he would not feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, Lady Lilith."

Pales had heard some general information about Lilith from Crisemena, but when he saw "She" standing in front of him alive, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Frankly speaking, He and Lilith were just acquaintances at best, not to mention friendship, they were not even friends, so when he suddenly saw Her, apart from surprise, he had no other emotions.

"Old man, I'm here today to thank you for your help last time, and to say goodbye to you."

Pales was surprised and looked at Edward carefully: "Hey, you..."

"Yes, I'm in good condition. I'm about to die."

This time, Edward spoke first, "That's why I need to fall asleep to fight against 'death'."

"About one hundred and eighty years later, you can go to Tingen City and keep an eye out for a man named Leonard. He is the Night Watchman of the Church of Darkness. Using him as your parasite may be of some benefit to you."

Pales frowned. "Parasitizing a Nighthawk?"

"Don't worry, the Goddess of Night has acquiesced."

"...Understood."

Edward continued, "During the time I'm asleep, if Lilith encounters any trouble, I hope you can help her if it's within your ability."

Pales shook his head and sighed: "Tsk, I knew something was waiting for me, old man. Oh, okay, okay."

Lilith tugged at Edward's clothes and said, "Edward, I understand now. You are not here to say goodbye to others, but to..."

"It's all the same."

Lilith pursed her lips. "Where to go next? To Big Lilith? Amanesis? Or who?"

"I guessed wrong."

Edward pinched her cheek and said, "I don't have the nerve to persuade the gods to help me. Besides, your relationship with them is much better than mine."

"But my relationship with Will and Medici is better than yours."

"This is called double protection!"

Lilith muttered, "What a twisted theory."

"Okay, then...it's time for me to take care of some of my personal 'business'."

Trier, the luxurious villa of the Roselle family. ·y,p/x?s+w\.,n\e_t~

A whole day had passed since I heard from my daughter, "Lao Deng, gold coins explode."

Russell was still doubting and hesitating.

This was a phrase that obviously came from "homeland", but it came from the mouth of Klein Sparrow's daughter. He didn't know whether she had heard this phrase from somewhere else or whether she had deliberately said it for some purpose and asked Bernadette to convey it to him.

So Russell was very hesitant about whether he should go and talk to the girl who was suspected to be a time traveler in person.

Of course, he had prayed to the guild master above the gray fog immediately, but unlike the previous prayers which were answered quickly, this time the guild master did not respond for a long time.

So Roselle took out the silver medal again, hesitating whether to inject spiritual inspiration into it again, and tried to take the initiative to go to the gray fog to find the president.

"Beep, beep, beep."

Just then, a sharp siren sounded suddenly.

Chapter 645: Confessing to Russell

Russell shuddered, and the silver medal in his hand fell to the ground. He looked out the window in astonishment. He saw a red and blue light flashing in the dim sky.

"!!!"

He was very familiar with this scene.

I once had a messy, illogical dream. In the dream, a man who claimed to be a police officer from the Space-Time Special Investigation Team appeared on a flying saucer and said that he wanted to arrest me because I had committed various crimes such as extraordinary time travel.

But, that was just a dream!

Why...

"Oh, so, I am dreaming now too?"

Russell patted his forehead, "Does what you think about during the day turn out to be what you dream about at night?"

Sure enough, a figure soon came over, muttering, "Huang Tao Russell Gustav, I am Edward, a police officer from the Spacetime Special Investigation Team, police number 1386, and I am arresting you on charges of illegal crossing, illegal interference in world development, illegal stay, etc.!0^0*小`税`亡¨ _无+错,content~内容!"

"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court!"

"…"

Roselle sighed and stretched out his hands: "It doesn't matter, I'm tired, destroy it, do it."

However, the person opposite just looked at him and did not take any further action.

"Huh? Why don't you do anything yet? What are you waiting for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-white clothes that person was wearing twisted and turned into a windbreaker, and the helmet also turned into a tall silk hat. However, the face under the helmet made Russell's pupils shrink: "Klein?!"

"Klein Sparrow is just my pseudonym."

Edward approached with a smile, "My real name is Edward."

After a pause, he said, "You can also call me...President."

"???"

Russell's mind buzzed, and his thoughts were confused: How come this dream was even more chaotic and outrageous than the last one? What a mess!

"You're not dreaming."

Edward said, "Last time, it wasn't either."

Russell pinched his thigh hard and immediately felt a pain: Is this really not a dream?

No,

This is an extraordinary world, and there are abilities that can make people feel pain just like in a dream.

Edward snapped his fingers at this time, and everything around him changed. Tall buildings rose from the ground. The two stood on a busy street, with passing vehicles on one side and bustling shops on the other.

Russell opened his mouth wide and muttered, "...Fuck, I am dreaming!"

"This place is indeed not real, but it is not a dream either. Let's talk as we walk."

The two walked side by side, passing through the bustling crowd. In the square in the distance, there was a building with a giant panda lying on it. Russell suddenly realized, "No wonder it looked familiar to me just now. Isn't this the giant panda on Chunxi Road?"

Edward casually passed by an ice jelly shop and took a bowl of ice jelly and handed it to Russell: "Remember a few months ago, you offered a reward for Doraemon's picture in the newspaper and gave it a name?"

Russell nodded.

"I was the one who gave the Pinocchio puppet to Bernadette, and I am also the one you are looking for."

Russell lowered his head and took a bite of the ice jelly, feeling the long-lost yet familiar taste in his mouth. From time to time, he heard the unique voices of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether all this was true or false.

After a while, he said, "Then why didn't you come to me at that time? Were you worried that I, a fellow time traveler, would attack you?" At this point, he patted his forehead and laughed at himself, "What nonsense am I talking about? You are a powerful High-Sequence Beyonder. How could I have the ability to do that?"

Russell became a little annoyed. "Then why did you come out and tell me all this? Are you trying to upset me? Why did you transform yourself into Klein from the beginning and use Dubois to get close to me?"

"Have you never told the truth from the beginning? I actually believed you..."

"You can't be teasing me, right? You can't be that bored just to watch me act like a dragon and then make fun of me…" Russell immediately thought of the miserable competition, "No, you are indeed that bored!"

At this point, Russell became more and more angry and couldn't help but start swearing.

Edward smiled and said, "It is to avoid affecting the development of future history."

"What's the meaning?"

"Have you forgotten? I can see the future."

Roselle was stunned and stopped walking: "So, my future will really be as miserable as you said? Will I really be like Bernadette..."

"That's right."

Edward nodded. "That is indeed established history and cannot be changed."

"But now that I know, do I have to change it? Oh, you said last time that maybe everything I do will just lead to the future... Okay, there's no solution. Fuck it!"

"Actually, someone didn't allow it."

"Who? Don't tell me there is a 'heavenly way' or 'world consciousness' in this world?"

"Well... maybe yes, maybe not, I can't say for sure."

Edward explained, "But I'm talking about the organization that aims to resurrect the Creator. Their leader is a powerful being who is not much worse than a god. He is promoting the development of this world according to his own expectations and calls it the 'trend of the times'."

"And you are an important part of the trend of His times."

Russell's expression changed, and he said coldly: "It's really my honor."

"Then why are you suddenly telling me now?"

Edward smiled and said, "One, we have been getting along quite well during this period, one, I am doing it for Bernadette's sake, one, I am doing it because we are both time travelers, and the other one... I have a grudge against the person who promotes the trend of the times!"

Russell sneered, "The point is the last one, right?"

"That was just the trigger. After all, to destroy the trend of His times, He doesn't necessarily have to tell you these things. It's easier for you to manipulate and fiddle with it if you don't know anything."

"…"

He was silent for a moment. "Your words really make me feel... powerless. This is the method used by high-ranking people."

Roselle suddenly felt that his "efforts" over the past decade were ridiculous. He had become the "Son of Steam" of the church through various inventions, won the favor of the king, and became a hot new upstart in Intis. It seemed that he had reached the peak of his life.

But in reality, this is an extraordinary world where everyone competes to see who has the bigger fist. Without strength, status is nothing!

It's a pity that I was so complacent before and thought I was the protagonist!

It's really ridiculous.

Edward continued, "Besides, I'll let you know everything you want to know. Wasn't that what we agreed to when I asked you to steal the Antignus family's notes this time?"

"You are a man of your word. So now that you have told me all this, what are you going to do next?"

"You'll know this later."

Russell: "You are being mysterious again."

Edward shrugged helplessly, "Let's get back to business. I came to you today to say goodbye to you."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm badly injured and need to go to sleep."

"oh."

Russell's reaction was cold.

Because he was hurt at this moment.

He felt that although he and Klein Sparrow were not very good friends, they were both fathers, and with Dubois and Bernadette as glue, he believed that with more time, the two of them would become true friends sooner or later.

But now he suddenly realized that Klein... no, Edward was pretending from the beginning to the end. The friendship that was already little was gone in an instant.

Injured? Sleeping? Even dead.

Does it have anything to do with me?

It's better to die. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two time travelers in one world!

Russell added, "Now that we've come to this point, why don't you also answer the question I asked you when I first met you?"

"Can I still go back?"

Edward said calmly, "Yes."

"That's fine."

Russell did not ask how to get back. He knew that if the other party wanted to answer, he would tell him.

"Hey, wait."

But he soon realized another problem, "You are about to fall asleep, so how did you know what you just said, 'I will know later'?"

"You will find out."

Russell gave him the middle finger.

Edward snapped his fingers again, and the city, tall buildings, traffic, and pedestrians disappeared. They returned to the Russell family's villa and still stood in the distance, not moving a single step from beginning to end.

"Tsk, your move is amazing, it's Aizen's Mirror Flower and Water Moon, right?"

Edward curled his lips, and suddenly an ordinary Zanpakuto appeared in his hand. He smiled and said, "Yes, it's a Zanpakuto."
