Chapter 508 The Law of Cause and Effect
The main church facing the Prayer Square is the building in front of the Starry Bell Tower. The church is wide and low, while the bell tower is narrow and tall. The two buildings are connected by an intersecting corridor. These corridors are not completely straight and crisscross, but rather present a curved arc.

In the middle of the corridor is a circular courtyard, and the vegetation covering the open soil adds a relatively vibrant touch of green to this complex of buildings.

Meanwhile, sitting on the rooftop of the Starry Clock Tower, Milo stared intently through the glass of the main curtain wall of the clock tower at the courtyard surrounded by corridors in front of him.

The ceilings of each corridor meander and intertwine, like the roots of a golden tree entwining the courtyard area.

The Star Clock Tower was completely silent, making the baby's cries that echoed around Milo's ears even more jarring and unbearable.

As the cries grew closer, Milo felt for a moment as if he had seen something strange.

In one of those fleeting moments, he saw a black spot suddenly appear on the clean, emerald-green patch exposed in the courtyard…

But the next second, when he focused his gaze intently on the location of the black spot, it disappeared again.

It was as if it had never existed.

Even Milo of the Shadow Sequence, with his incredibly powerful sensory abilities, couldn't be sure if he had just seen things correctly.

In addition, the incessant crying echoed in my ears.

Milo hadn't experienced this state of visual and auditory confusion for a long time. After emerging from the nightmare phase, his senses had remained very clear and distinct, and he had never fallen into confusion in the waking world.

……

What exactly is it that could make a Shadow-level life form doubt its own senses?
Milo glanced back and saw Daisy searching among the rows of bookshelves that reached the ceiling. Although she was physically weak, she seemed to know everything about the place perfectly, and there was no chance of her bumping into anything as she moved back and forth among the bookshelves.

Daisy quickly noticed Milo's gaze, smiled slightly in his direction, and then continued with her work.

Perhaps because he knew so much about the child’s past, Milo always felt that Daisy’s smiles always revealed a hint of weariness and helplessness, a feeling that was very heartbreaking.

Then, recalling the fate of his first follower, and the curse of Imnar…

Milo knew that Daisy had the full right to choose for herself; she was the eye of thought, and she would never fall into an inescapable state like Grasso. Yet, she still chose the most dangerous path, and in fact, she was even clearer than Milo about the perilousness of this path.

Even so, she still chose to stand by Milo's side.

Making this decision alone meant facing the hostility of multiple Outer Gods and the Old Ones, as well as the hatred of the Golden Temple, which was supposed to provide her with protection.

And when Milo suggested a dirty trick against the temple, she even offered to help with the planning.

It seems that for her, the Golden Rule and the Golden Shade, the beliefs left to her by her deceased parents, had crumbled and become worthless on that terrifying night.

……

The choice was made by Daisy herself.

But Milo didn't know what the future consequences would be. The only thing that worried him was that he knew Daisy wouldn't waver even if she could see that doing so would lead to some terrible outcome.

The Eye of Thinking may have given her more information and the power of choice, but in reality, nothing has changed; this is simply her nature.

Besides the baby's voice, what Milo couldn't shake from his mind was the image of Daisy in the Abyss, with arthropods dwelling in her eye sockets...

"The abyss world that has not been completely destroyed will gradually erode reality and eventually turn reality into what the abyss looks like."

If Chaos is truly as Daisy claims, capable of devouring, digesting, and utilizing even cause and effect, then it must know that Daisy's experiences will ensure she remains on Milo's side forever.

But in the end, Daisy in the abyss still grew worms.

"Would I one day resolutely abandon the faith that comes from her...?"

Milo frowned, then shook his head:
"That's utter nonsense."

He waved to Daisy, turned, jumped off the platform, and walked out of the clock tower's doors. After navigating the curved corridors, Milo arrived at the courtyard where the black spots had appeared in his field of vision.

The black spot in my memory didn't actually look like a human figure; it didn't have a human-shaped outline, at least not Milo.

……

Milo clearly remembers that in the scene he saw before jumping off the clock tower, the grass in the courtyard was completely empty.

However, once he entered the corridor area, he could vaguely sense that as he got closer to the courtyard area, the baby's cries became increasingly piercing.

And after bypassing the stone pillars that obstructed the view of the corridor, Milo saw a baby stroller parked on the open grass...

……

With its dark brown main frame and a white folding canopy adorned with playful lace, this clean and tidy stroller is quite ordinary, even somewhat inconspicuous.

However, the time and place it appeared in were both incorrect.

The sight of an unattended baby in the church courtyard is itself a very strange and even somewhat eerie occurrence.

...

The baby's cries were still piercing.

But Milo could not sense any living creature moving inside the stroller not far away.

Yes, there wasn't the slightest sign of life, let alone any slight shaking of the stroller itself. It was like a frozen oil painting, appearing somewhat lifeless under the gloomy sky.

Milo steadily approached the courtyard area.

At this moment, the name that Daisy had mentioned came to mind: Meg, the divine child from the Sumerian era who was unable to be born.

This is also the story of the Monsis school setting its sights on three important "items".

……

"If it was never born, then it means it never existed..."

Why bother people with things that don't exist?

Despite learning some chilling truths, Milo himself felt nothing special. He strode towards the stroller quietly parked on the grass, ready to see what this so-called "child of the gods" was all about and whether he was as cute as Wendigo.

But as soon as his front foot touched the grass...

...

At the same time, in the main bookstore of the Star Clock Tower, Daisy excitedly picked up a book: "Finally found it!"

...

And so, the stroller disappeared silently from Milo's sight.

There wasn't even a ripple.

It evaporated from his sight in a way that Milo could not comprehend at all.

"So, am I really seeing things?"
