Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 398 Negotiations with the Red Angel

Lu Ze doesn't read the newspaper, otherwise he would know that trouble is coming.

In reality, he was currently deep in the ocean and had no chance to read the newspaper. He preferred chatting with the unruly red angel spirit within him rather than about things so far removed from his own life.

The cabin of the "Dawn" was spacious and comfortable. Lu Ze sat alone on the bed, his eyes closed. He appeared to be meditating, but in reality, he was having a conversation with the evil spirit within him.

"If you ask me, that woman is only after your body's special features. She won't help you get promoted; instead, she'll take you to her own lair, slowly manipulate you, and eventually seize your secret."

The Red Angel demon lay comfortably within Lu Ze's body, yet her words were utterly piercing: "And you, so naively believed her, how foolish."

His words seemed to carry an invisible incitement, irresistibly stirring one's emotions, prompting either rebuttal or further questioning.

Luze knew that whether he refuted Him or went along with His words, he would fall into the hunter's trap and be led astray by Him. The right thing to do was to ignore Him and change the subject.

"You seem to know the secrets of my body."

He said to the evil spirit.

"Hmm, do you know?"

Medici paused for a moment, then chuckled and said.

"I remember you called out a name when you were surrounded by that sea."

—Saslier, Luzer remembers it very clearly.

But as a cryptic person, he knew it was best not to casually call out the name of an unknown entity, because something terrible might happen—just like that so-called "Twilight Hermits' Society," which would be discovered if called out.

"."

Medici remained silent this time.

"I remember you looked very flustered at the time. What, even the great 'God of War' has something to fear?" Lu Ze asked with a smile. "Who is that? The original owner of the sea on my body?"

Medici remained silent, showing no intention of answering.

What is the true nature of that sea?

Why did it happen to me?

"Say something, consider it payment for the rent you get for living inside my body?"

Lu Ze pressed on, but the evil spirit remained silent. This usually boisterous creature suddenly fell silent, as if the secret of that sea were taboo and could not be mentioned.

"Don't want to answer? Fine, let's talk about something else. How did you die?"

Seeing that the other party was completely uncooperative, he had no choice but to give up for the time being. "Could it be that he was really captured by the Blood Emperor and used as a magic potion to ascend to godhood?"

“Alista Tudor is just an ambitious madman. How could he possibly catch me on his own?”

Medici finally spoke, his words filled with disdain for the "Blood Emperor."

"But you still got caught."

"If it weren't for those two idiots dragging me down, I would never have ended up in this situation."

"Medici, you're the dumbest one!"

"Your arrogance was the root cause of your death!"

The remnants of Sauron and Einhorn's souls clearly disagreed with this view, splitting their mouths from either side of his cheeks in rebuttal.

"You lack decisiveness in important matters, nitpick over trivial things, and keep bringing up past grievances. I know, you demigods must have all been women before, which is why you're so troublesome."

Medici scoffed.

"Shut up! How disgusting that it can still exist with you after death."

"It's all because you were too flamboyant that those two brothers seized the opportunity!" The three mouths were arguing incessantly, while Lu Ze watched the drama unfold from the sidelines. Suddenly, one of the sentences caught his attention.

Two brothers?
In other words, someone else was responsible for capturing the three angels?

Although he heard this clue, Luze did not ask directly, because he knew Medici would definitely not answer, just like before.

But when it came to the two brothers who could influence the angels, he couldn't help but recall the mural he had seen in Amon's tomb that day—an angel embracing two children of the gods, one with black hair and black eyes, who resembled Amon, and the other with golden hair and golden eyes, whose identity was still unknown.

Could the mastermind behind the murder of an ancient angel be a descendant of a god?

Should we try to trick Him using Amon's name?
The thought flashed through Lu Ze's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

Forget it, we can't be sure yet. If we say something and it doesn't come true, it would be bad to show our ignorance.

The three souls argued for a while, then gradually quieted down.

"Aren't you arguing anymore?"

Lu Ze said, "If you're not going to argue, I'll ask you one more question. You founded Redemption Rose, right? What is the connection between your organization and the appearance of the true creator?"

This was one of the things he most desperately wanted to know. According to what Klein had told him, that damned evil god appeared because of the redemption of Rose. So, what was the true Creator like before the redemption of Rose? Was He truly a fallen product of the Creator? And what was Medici's relationship with these two deities?
However, he did not receive a reply from Medici.

The latter looked at him with a strange expression, as if it were both contempt and nostalgia.

“You are not qualified to speak of the Lord in my presence.”

He said.

Having said that, the red evil spirit completely shrank back into the slot within Lu Ze's body, and no matter how Lu Ze called out to it, it wouldn't come out again.

Negotiations concluded.

"Sigh, it still doesn't work."

Lu Ze ended his meditation, opened his eyes, and stood up from the bed.

Because he had been sitting for a long time, his body became a little stiff, so he left the cabin and went up to the deck.

The sea breeze was strong during the day, and Luze saw the "mysterious queen" Bernadette sitting at the bow of the boat, fishing with a peculiar fishing rod—the hook of which was straight and some distance from the sea surface.

Luna the black cat squatted to the side, waiting expectantly.

Willing to take the bait?
Luze once again sensed a familiar aura emanating from the Queen, something that seemed to originate from his own world. Without a doubt, it was her father, his predecessor from the transmigrator world, Roselle, who was responsible.

"Are you starting to feel irritable? That's how it is on a ship."

Without turning her head, the Queen said, "Moreover, the Dawn is already moving at full speed, which most ships cannot reach."

Indeed, this giant ship is sailing at an astonishing speed. If you stand on the ship's side and look out, you can feel the waves rushing past the ship at high speed, almost turning into blurry patterns.

But on the other hand, with the boat going so fast, is it really possible to catch fish?
"It's okay if you feel frustrated. We'll stop at a harbor the next day, and then we can change things up."

The Queen's Way.

"Zizi!"

Her fishing rod tightened instantly; before she knew it, a big fish had taken the bait!

"Meow!"

Luna immediately became excited.

The queen easily caught the fish, smiled, removed it from the hook, and tossed it to the black cat.

The giant ship continued to move forward at high speed.
