Cloud Thinking

"Of course, I also hope that one day, sister, you will call my name simply because you miss me."

Helia was silent for a long time, not knowing whether she was shy or what, but she just kept silent. And Zhou Qi was anxious to leave here, and had to be alert to the surroundings, so he did not take the initiative to bring up the topic again.

It was so long that Zhou Qi thought Helia was asleep, but she suddenly said, "I have always wanted to ask why you are so nice to me."

"You and I have only known each other for ten days. Even if I am an important sacrifice, your kindness to me seems to be a little excessive."

After saying this, Helia felt like she had Stockholm syndrome. After all, she was a princess of a country and enjoyed the best treatment wherever she went. Now she had fallen into the hands of the cult members and had only been treated like a guest for a few days. How could she say that he was being kind to her?

It was obvious that Qiqi's kindness to her was based on benefits and pain. He captured her because of the fragments of the fallen god in his body, and even intended to force her into submission.

Damn it, could it be that I was really fooled by this kid's pretentious appearance and sweet words and lost my mind?

Being in love is a capital crime!

But Qi Qi didn't answer her. It was unclear whether he had no intention of answering at all or he was still thinking about how to answer.

Helia was a little disappointed when she didn't hear the other party's answer. "Also, I already know the answer to the bet between you and me."

"If I hadn't stumbled into Osinoto's territory by accident, I might still be in the dark."

"Little fox, you should let me go."

Qi Qi held Helia's hand tightly, "Even if my sister knows that I did all this for you, will you still leave?"

"Don't kidnap me in the name of doing good for me." Helia said, "I have never thought about becoming a god. I just want to live an ordinary life."

"But you know that's impossible." Seventh retorted, "If you don't become stronger, you will just become someone else's meal."

"You're right, but becoming a god isn't as easy as you think." Helia sighed but didn't continue explaining.

She was already the focus of the gods. If she became a god at this moment, whether she succeeded or not, she would definitely attract the attention of the Order. Helia didn't know how Osinoto had ascended to the throne without telling the gods, but as she had analyzed before, he just took advantage of a loophole and became a god by chance.

But Helia herself is different. If she becomes a god, she may hold the power of three gods - the god of war, Votsise, the god of the sky, Adalesi, and Osinoto, who has the power over life and death.

The power of war alone is enough to attract the attention of all the gods in the sky, not to mention the combined power of the three gods. This is completely different from what the order had envisioned at the beginning. How could He allow such a deviation to occur in the order He controls?

"Is it just because it's difficult? I don't believe it. What are you worried about, sister?" Qi Qi asked, "Tell me, I want to share your burden."

It was not a worry, but more of a fear of the truth. She vaguely realized that the reason why she traveled through time must have been the work of the God of Order, but she didn't know the reason yet. She could indeed take the opportunity of becoming a god to ask Him, but her intuition was frantically preventing her from thinking in this direction.

This truth is taboo, Helia thought.

"Maybe it's because I'm a little scared." Helia said calmly, and chuckled as if to mock herself, "I have been following the rules for so many years, and suddenly I am asked to do something so big. I don't dare to do it, and I feel very uneasy."

"I want to live a few more years with my current identity, enjoy my life for a little longer, at least celebrate my eighteenth birthday in peace, and the rest will be dealt with when the time comes."

Helia, who was fearless like a newborn calf, actually said one day that she was afraid. Seventh lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply, as if to confirm something, and then quickly looked forward and strode forward.

The exit was right in front of them. The monsters gathered around saw their prey trying to escape and rushed over regardless. Zhou Qi threw the person in his arms directly into the exit and was left alone to fight these disgusting monsters.

In the chaotic moment of traveling through space, Helia heard a very soft voice: "If this is your wish, I will do everything I can to help you realize it."

When the light came back, Helia found herself in the Duru Orphanage. The noise and running sounds of the children coming from outside the house made her feel a little unreal.

She got up from the narrow bed and rubbed her forehead. She was wondering whose room she was in when she turned around and found a silver plate hanging on the bed frame with the words "Jepas" engraved on it.

This turned out to be Jepas's room. Helia looked around the room. There was only a bed, a desk, a stool, and a wardrobe. There was nothing else. It was simple and tidy, and there was a faint smell of soap in the air.

She walked to the desk, flipped through it casually, and found a diary in the locked drawer. She raised an eyebrow in surprise, thinking: There are really many people who are willing to write down their true feelings in their diaries these days...

She dragged the only stool in the room and sat down, slowly flipping through the diary. Unlike Tarod, who stayed in the orphanage for fifteen years, the character of Jepas played by Qiqi was sometimes there and sometimes not, which can be seen from the date interval of each diary.

After she arrived in Satede a month ago, Jepas wrote a diary almost every day, which meant that he knew her whereabouts very well. She didn't know whether he knew it through predictive magic or some other means.

However, the contents of the diary are quite meaningless. It just records some daily activities, including the daily life of the child version of Jepas in the orphanage and his actions as the Archbishop of the Morogen Religion. Judging from his actions, it seems that he is preparing for kidnapping himself and the deification ceremony.

[The divine cocoon has been built, and subject 0827 has been sent inside for cultivation. It is estimated that it will take six years to cultivate the divine body...]

Helia glanced at the date of this diary entry. It was nine years ago. In other words, Avril was sent into this damn divine cocoon when she was nine years old to prepare for the cultivation of a divine body.

[Hawke went back on his word and released the experimental subject prematurely, causing the experiment to fail.]

Hmm - so this is why Avril still exists in the world as a human being. Hawke finally developed feelings for her.

The first mention of her in the diary is on the day of her first visit to the Dulu Orphanage. This entry should have been written at night and it reads:

[It's been a long time since I last saw my elder sister. She seems to be still young at this time, but she is still so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her. ]

[I counted and it seems like I have been waiting for almost two thousand years. I can’t remember the exact date. After all, it’s been too long since we first met.]

Helia:? More than 2,000 years? What do you mean? Am I traveling through time? Where are my memories?

Although I don't understand why Zhou Qi wrote this, if it is true as he said that the two of them were not meeting for the first time, and they had known each other a long time ago, then it can explain why the other party was inexplicably nice to me, and why I always felt a vague sense of familiarity from the other party.

Had they met before? But she couldn't recall any memory of it.

[My sister's curiosity is as strong as ever. She wants to find out the truth about everything. When will she realize that her curiosity will only bring her trouble and misfortune?]

[Forget it, I'm here anyway, so nothing will happen to my sister.]

[However, will my sister be willing to accept my help? It would be better to hide it from her and force her to do it. If I tell her the truth in advance, she might not be willing to do it according to the plan.]

[If Hawke hadn't suddenly changed his mind and let his adopted daughter go, why would he have asked his sister to take the risk? I hate this kind of fussy person the most. She can't bear to give up anything and can't let go of anything. Sooner or later, she will be killed by her own greed. ]

Helia: Why do people write their diaries with such sincerity? I don't know how to judge it, even though I think diaries are hypocritical...

The last entry in the diary was dated the day before Helia's birthday party, and contained only a very brief sentence:

【Looking forward to reuniting with my sister. 】

In line with the principle of not wasting money, Helia put the diary in her arms without thinking, and then she looked around the room, but didn't find anything else useful.

She opened the door and walked out. The children playing in the corridor froze when they saw her, staring at her with wide eyes, their eyes full of shock. The noisy corridor suddenly became quiet.

Helia walked to the dean's office at the end of the corridor by memory, turned the doorknob, and found that it wouldn't open. Then she kicked it in front of a group of children. Although she was thin, she was still quite tall. After all, her parents had excellent genes, and she didn't have malnutrition. Even though she was weak since childhood, she was still tall.

She kicked the broken wooden door open with a series of kicks, and the edge of the door was even kicked crooked.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the unpleasant odor. Helia frowned and raised her hand to fan the door. She quickly walked to the window and was about to open it to get some fresh air, but she stopped as soon as her hand touched the windowsill.

She looked back at the room, raised her nose and sniffed carefully, and finally her eyes stopped on the big wardrobe that was slightly taller than her, and she walked over.

She was curious about what could be so smelly that Tarod could ignore the suffocating smell and keep it like a treasure.

The moment she opened the closet door, she was convinced that everyone in the Morrogan Church was mentally ill, especially these archbishops, they were all fucking crazy!

There were no clothes in the closet, but a limp "person" was hanging there. His elbows were hung on nails nailed to the inner wall of the closet, his head drooped in front of his chest, his body below the neck hung limply as if he had no bones, his legs were folded at the knees and pressed against the bottom of the closet, making him look like a piece of hung clothing.

Helia's expression twisted several times, hesitating whether to start. It must be said that this Wednesday Bishop was somewhat similar to the Lord they believed in, referring to his strange habit of torturing people and handling corpses.

The last time she came here, her dog nose had vaguely sensed a familiar smell. Mm, the smell of a dead person. It was hard to imagine that one day she would be more familiar with the smell of a dead person than the smell of a living person...

Helia was wearing the clothes that Qi Qi prepared for her, a loose white round-necked shirt, a pair of slim-fitting beige trousers, and a pair of black boots. It can be said that this outfit suits her very well.

She grabbed the lace edge of the cuffs and wrapped her hands around them, then raised her hands and rubbed the hanging "person". Although the layer of lace affected her judgment of the touch of the "person", she looked at the skin that was dented when she poked it, and she immediately understood.

This is not a person, but a piece of human skin! And it is a very complete and beautiful human skin!

It seems that if Tarod wants to achieve a perfect disguise, he needs to kill the person he wants to replace, peel off the person's skin and put it on himself...

But when she lifted the head of the human skin, the weight in her hand told her that it was not just a piece of human skin, at least it still had a skull. The man's eyelids were closed, and Helia whispered "I'm sorry", then directly pulled open the man's left eyelid.
