In the light screen at this moment, in response to PoI-3172's words, Dr. Montauk raised his eyelids and glanced at PoI-3172 lightly.

Then, he put down the documents in his hand and looked at PoI-3172 in front of him.

Why do you call the Global Paranormal Alliance the "Book Burners"?

"Are you and your organization connected to the Serpent Hand?"

...

"The Serpent's Hand? I think this organization has appeared before?"

Listening to the conversation between the two on the light screen, Tsunade's eyes were filled with doubt and seriousness.

This time, the scope of this anomalous containment object is unprecedented.

Not only did they leave behind so many methods of descending to earth,

Moreover, it involves so many organizations, and each of them is as powerful as the asylum.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade stared at the light screen with a solemn expression.

When questioned by Dr. Montauk, PoI-3172 feigned difficulty.

"This... is quite complicated."

Dr. Montauk, who looked troubled, didn't say anything, but just stared at him quietly.

"The question is simple."

After glancing around, PoI-3172 slowly spoke:

"But the answer is not simple."

"However... yes, we are connected to the Serpent Hand."

"Most of us have spent time there."

"Of course, if you ask them, they won't acknowledge us; they're not monsters like us."

“They have moral principles, you know that. Their purpose is entirely to find miracles, and since they can’t see miracles with the King, they completely reject us.”

"But they know that, ultimately, they need us."

......

"A miracle? What miracle?"

Listening to the conversation between the two on the light screen, Onoki's eyes showed even greater confusion.

According to the PoI-3172 displayed on the light screen...

The Serpent Hand took in the Crimson King's Sons organization and cooperated with them.

It should be a cult, but they happen to have a moral compass.

Their collaboration with the son of the Crimson King was solely driven by a desire to find miracles.

So, what exactly is this miracle that would drive an organization almost on par with the containment facilities to search for?

"It seems that this anomaly of the Crimson King has not only made us aware of this supreme god, but has also broadened our horizons!"

Taking a deep breath, Onoki continued watching the content displayed on the screen.

After listening to what PoI-3172 said, Dr. Montauk frowned slightly and asked:

"They need you? Why?"

Upon hearing Dr. Montauk's question, PoI-3172 seemed indifferent, fiddling with her fingers as she slowly spoke:

"And that's the reason we live."

After saying this, PoI-3172 paused for a moment,

With a sly grin, he leaned on the table and whispered:

“We attacked the library, fought with them, and clashed with them.”

“They have hurled countless insults at us, more than you have.”

"But they never succeeded! They're just as bad as you guards, bad in their own way."

"The same segmentation, the same single goal."

"Their existence has no solidified foundation; it is just an empty era in history. Indeed, they were born at the same time as you, and you are more similar than you think."

Hearing PoI-3172's explanation on the light screen, Tsunade and the others were completely bewildered.

What exactly is this guy saying?

Why did these sons of the Crimson King attack the library? And what was their objective?

Meanwhile, on the light screen, after hearing what PoI-3172 said,

Dr. Montauk's face seemed to show deep disbelief.

"That's impossible. The existence of the Serpent Hand predates any records of it by far before those of the Foundation..."

Before he could finish speaking, PoI-3172 sat up straight and looked at Dr. Montauk.

"No, no, you missed the point."

"The library has always existed, yes, but the snake hand has not."

“Snake hands are a new thing, just like you. Do you think anyone in the past would care about any ‘miracles’? Nobody cared about miracles. They cared about food, family, and blood.”

Looking at the content displayed on the screen, the Toad Sage took a deep drag of his cigarette, his eyes filled with doubt.

"According to this guy, the asylum and the Serpent Hand are newly emerging forces, while the library has always been there. So what is the library?"

In an instant, a flood of questions rushed into the Toad Sage's mind, giving him a terrible headache.

Moreover, the conversation between these two seems to have nothing to do with the Crimson King.

Isn't this about the Crimson King?

Just as the Toad Master was having a headache, the conversation between the two on the light screen continued.

At this point, Dr. Montauk seemed extremely agitated.

After taking a deep breath and rubbing my temples,

He looked up at PoI-3172:

“Listen, Dipesh, I’ve been trying my best to make you feel comfortable, but there has to be a give and take. You’ve been spouting convoluted and mysterious riddles, and all I want are the answers.”

Looking at the increasingly agitated professor in front of him,

PoI-3172 actually smiled:

"I can't tell you everything."

"You can't treat this intelligence properly; you'll treat it as a scientific fact; something to be absorbed, understood, and placed in context."

Upon hearing PoI-3172's words, Dr. Montauk's face showed a look of doubt.

"What's the problem?"

PoI-3172 moved her fingers and tilted her head to look at Dr. Montauk:

"Why would you do this, Doctor? Why are you getting involved in this?"

When questioned by PoI-3172, Dr. Montauk was initially very angry.

But after a moment of anger, he calmed down, rubbed his temples, and slowly spoke:

"I shouldn't have told you, but... ah. To hell with it!"

“I’m tired. I see the Crimson King everywhere I go, but nothing about him has ever been clear.”

"Some kind of horned demon? A secret blood god? They are both so small and so ordinary."

"The Foundation has changed in the last decade, you have to understand. We've faced demons of concepts, inhabitants of forms, the Sevenfold Destroyer, all of which are far worse than any human sacrifice to the Old Gods."

"But this, behind everything, I see a smile in the fire."

"That kind of terror, an ancient terror, lingers. Although I have seen all sorts of far simpler and far more subtle horrors tearing the world apart every day, I just want to understand, that's probably it."

"By peeling back the layers of mist and uncovering one contradictory legend after another, we can discover what he really is."

Listening to Dr. Montauk's narration on the light screen...

Tsunade silently considered what Dr. Montauk in the light screen had said.

The containment facility had no idea what this Crimson King actually was.

In fact, the doctors at the containment facility harbored a slight fear of this Crimson King.

But the asylum was gradually trying to dispel the fog surrounding the Crimson King and see just what this Crimson King really was.

"You saw the smile in the fire?"

Recalling what Dr. Montauk had just said, Tsunade kept muttering to herself.

Could it be that this Crimson King is actually a flame?

And what about those ancient legends? In an instant,

Tsunade was also deeply curious about what this Crimson King really was.
