Cloud Thinking

"Schoolgirl, come on, we're done fighting."

While those people were fighting with eyes, sparks and lightning flew, and Vikes waved at Helia who was standing aside and about to be affected.

When Helia heard this, her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.

Looking at the fully reassembled corpse, it was flat due to the lack of flesh and blood, which made the pair of gray-brown eyes that were staring at them look a little creepy.

The corpse did not resurrect like last time. Helia squatted on the side, touching it here and there without feeling dirty, wondering: "Is there a step missing..."

"It lacks blood and flesh. Could it be that... it wants us to bleed it?" Weikes expressed his guess.

"Try?"

"Then try it."

Vikes drew out his sword, cut a hole in his palm, and let the blood flow out. He then pressed the cut palm against the lower half of the corpse's face, trying to feed the blood through his mouth.

Helia held her wand and watched from the side. If this guy dared to pretend to be dead, she would freeze him immediately.

But Vikes's bleeding had no effect for a long time, so Helia stopped him and called Elroy to use healing magic on him.

"Feed him blood? You really don't want to live." After hearing Vikes's thoughts, Elroy frowned and cursed, "Before, you didn't let me take Helia's blood casually. Didn't you say that blood is an important medium and can't be given casually? What are you doing now?"

"We have to try." Knowing that he was not in the right, Vikes did not say more.

"Flesh, flesh, blood..." Helia was still immersed in her own world and didn't listen to Elroy's words at all. Her eyes wandered and suddenly fixed on something.

Hey! That Uncovered Eye! It can also be considered a kind of flesh and blood!

She ran to the "corpse" of the eyeball that was still bleeding, and touched it. Sure enough, the feeling was the same as the one she felt in Camelin's consciousness.

Alfie was about to walk over to study this so-called Uncovered Eye, but when he got closer, he saw Helia stretch out her claws, dig out a piece of flesh and blood, and then ran happily towards the put-together body.

……

???

No? Which princess is so fierce! Not only did she fight with corpses, she also dug out eyes with her bare hands! And she dug with excitement!

Alfie felt that Helia no longer looked like a princess, she didn't look like a normal person at all!

Helia grabbed a handful of sticky, soft flesh in each hand and walked quickly to the corpse. Lydia helped her pry open the corpse's mouth, and she stuffed the disgusting flesh directly into the dead man's mouth. She also considerately took into account the fact that the dead man could not chew food, and opened and closed his jaw to help him chew.

Vikes: It’s over... Why is my schoolmate becoming more and more perverted...

But it still had no effect. Even when Helia forcefully stuffed the two lumps of flesh and blood into the dead man's esophagus, he still had no reaction.

"No, it's impossible to bring a dead person back to life. Why are you so persistent about it?" Alfie really didn't understand.

It's fine if Helia is the only one going crazy, but why are the rest of you cooperating with her?

"Maybe it's because I'm more interested in the dead than the living?" Helia said.

She would like it even more if it was a dead person who wouldn't come back to life.

Alfie remained silent. He suddenly felt a little regretful for going out with Helia. At least her image in his mind would not have collapsed like this.

Helia's intuition told her that there must be clues on the dead body, but they were opening it in the wrong way.

She stared at the dead man's body half covered in blood, and suddenly remembered how she had unlocked the restriction of the image stone downstairs - perhaps, only her blood would be useful.

In order to avoid being lectured by Elroy, Helia quietly pulled out the dagger, pierced her fingertips while others were not paying attention, and then pressed the bleeding finger on the dead man's lips -

She waited for a long time, but still saw no reaction from the dead man. She was about to withdraw her hand in frustration, wondering if her intuition was wrong.

But just as her fingers left the dead man's lips, there was a snap. The guy who should have been deader than dead suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Helia's wrist. His gray-brown eyes slowly turned, his gaze fixed on Helia's face.

"Oh my god! He's alive! Really alive!" Grammy had been staring at the dead man. He didn't know what Helia did with her hands behind her back. He only saw her press her fingers on the dead man's lips, and then the dead man came back to life!

Lydia drew her sword and was about to chop off the hand that was holding Helia, but was stopped by Helia.

The dead man grasped her wrist tightly, brought her hand to his chest, and pressed it down.

She had no choice but to spread her five fingers and press them against the chest which was only skin and bones. Just as she was wondering what this zombie wanted to tell her, she noticed an impossible noise coming from under her hands.

thump -- thump -- thump --

It's a heartbeat.

The heart that had long since shriveled up began beating again in the fleshless chest.

She met those gray-brown eyes and pursed her lips, "What do you want to tell me?"

The ghoul did not take any further action, but just clamped Helia's wrist to prevent her from leaving. She waited quietly, and gradually felt her heartbeat synchronized with the other's heartbeat.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if someone else's heart is beating in your chest. When you close your eyes, you can seem to see that heart beating for life.

Just as Helia closed her eyes and tried to capture some information from this wonderful feeling, she heard Alfie standing behind her ask in confusion: "What sound?"

She pricked up her ears and listened, and it seemed that she did hear some strange noises, sizzling and rustling. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the place where her palm was pressed, and found that on the flawless human skin, under the invisible sharp knife, words were scratched one after another.

He is always watching you.

He has granted you the opportunity to meet Him.

The skin opened up to form words, and through the words one could seem to see the bones and shriveled internal organs beneath the skin. After Helia and her companions read these two lines of words, the corpse seemed to have been accelerated and quickly decayed, leaving only a skeleton and scattered dust.

And at the location of the heart in the left chest cavity, there is a bronze key, lying there quietly, waiting for the right person to take it away.

Helia picked up the bronze key and stood up. Her face was calm. She didn't look scared or surprised by the two lines of words at all. She was as calm as if she had seen an ant die.

"Let's go find the lock."

She took the key and left the room, followed by Lydia. Ansel also took the opportunity to hug Helia's arm and pretended to be weak and unable to take care of himself and stuck to her.

Finally, the keyhole was found in the largest study on the third floor - it was hidden on the spine of a book on the bookshelf. When the key was inserted and turned, the large bookshelf placed close to the wall slowly rotated inward, revealing a hidden entrance.

"I'll go in and scout the way first." Carlisle took the initiative to walk to the front. Like Helia, he was a fire magician. He raised his hand to summon flames to illuminate the way ahead.

After walking through a narrow but not cramped passage and then walking down the spiral stone staircase for five minutes, one finally arrived at a miniature study room. Compared to the study room above, the layout here was more exquisite, and there were traces of magic everywhere.

This was a room without a door, so Wickes did not guard the door, but he and Alfie stayed at the entrance to the outer passage to prevent any accidents that might wipe out the entire army.

Helia picked up the book that was upside down on the desk and flipped through a few pages. It should be a diary, which recorded some information about the owner of this secret room.

Helia: No, why do people here like to write diaries so much? ? ?

She turned to the cover and found the name of the owner of the diary - Tang Yaoxing.

Wait, wait!? Tang Yaoxing???

Isn’t this a name that only people from her world would give? ? ?

She opened the first page in disbelief and read the contents carefully. The more she read, the more solemn her expression became, almost to the point of seeming to drip water.

"Xiao Si, let me come out for your master." Helia only read two entries in the diary, then closed it with a frown, rubbing her brows impatiently.

[Master...Master...what's wrong? Why are you so irritable? Are you having your period? ]

Xiao Si was eating snacks, drinking soda and watching soap operas, and was living a leisurely life, when he was suddenly called out by Helia. Judging from her tone, she must be quite angry.

"Am I the first traveler in this world?" Helia asked.

[Um, I'll check for you now...? ]

A few seconds later——

[Master... I don't have the authority to check...]

[But, maybe, possibly, it is not. After all, the small world is a valuable asset of the main god space, shared by all departments. Maybe many travelers have come to this world before you came here.]

"Can I apply to the Lord God to check on previous travelers?" Helia asked again.

[I'll try, but there's a high chance that I won't get a response. You know, our department is not well-received...]

[I have applied, so what happened, sir? What happened? ]

"Wisdom left me a time traveler's diary. The owner of the diary is Tang Yaoxing, who should also be one of the hosts of your system." Helia explained.

In the first diary, Tang Yaoxing complained about the damn system, insulted the damn main god space, and the almost impossible task. She even interspersed it with many national curses and buzzwords that only existed in her original world.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to determine so quickly that Tang Yaoxing was a time traveler like her who came to this world to carry out a mission.

[You mean, the gods of the small world kept the diary of the previous travelers and are showing it to you now? ? ? ]

"Yes, He knows that I am a time traveler. In fact, He may have helped me travel through time." Helia nodded. "Don't forget, I entered this different world three years earlier."

[Then, will they be aware of my existence...]

"Why do you think they are so stupid as to not know the main god behind the time traveler?" Helia asked back, "If I previously suspected that the wisdom was targeting me only because of my special identity in this alien world, but now that I have seen the diary of this former time traveler, I have a new guess..."

"Do you think the gods of this world are also looking for ways to devour the Lord God?"

"We, the travelers, are the only connection between the other world and the main god space. Since He can find the previous travelers and me, is it possible that this is not a coincidence, but He is intentionally searching for these travelers who are bound to the system?"

【? ? ? 】

【Nani??? !!!】

[How dare you set your sights on the Lord God! You are asking for your life! The Lord God is an existence that is many dimensions higher than me! The gods of this small world are really bold! ]

"How audacious? Aren't you the ones who are the most audacious, the ones who randomly insert all sorts of messy things into our world and make it a mess?"
