Chapter 576 Situation

When Kathy saw the woman standing on the ground covered in feathers, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

Kathy couldn't tell at first whether it was a human or a bird.

Or, both.

The Scarlet Prince's original intention was to bring Cathy to see the Stoneskin Parrot.

In other words, the woman with the exquisite face in front of me is that legendary creature?!

Although it was somewhat unbelievable to Casey, he still looked at the other person.

Just then, the strange creature in front of them opened its eyes.

Only then did Kathy realize that she had four brown pupils.

She looked at Cathy, her eyes revealing no emotion. If she had to say something—

That intense indifference was so profound that it was almost imperceptible.

Kathy swallowed hard and took a small step forward.

He placed his hands on the hilt of his sword, not because he intended to attack his opponent, but because the sword seemed to give him courage.

According to the Scarlet Prince, the Stone-skinned Parrot is a being capable of communication.

Moreover, in Kathy's view, the creature in front of her resembled more of a human than a parrot: "Are you a stone-skinned parrot?"

The other person nodded, seemingly devoid of any soul, and looked at Cathy.

Are you human?

Kathy didn't know why he asked the question, but he just asked it instinctively.

"It used to be—" the other person replied.

"Then why are you here?" Casey asked. "To keep calculating."

"calculate?"

"By continuously collecting existing data, we can accurately predict whether the future has deviated from the trajectory. However, this algorithm has a fatal flaw: if the predicted future is too far in the future, the probability of misjudgment will increase exponentially."

Kathy suddenly realized: "So you have to keep calculating?"

"That's right————"

"So what's the result now?"

"It went very smoothly," said the stone-skinned parrot.

"So, did you know I was coming?" Cathy asked.

"There will always be people who come here, and from the moment you set foot on the island, I have been guiding you to approach me and take away the knowledge you want from me. Unfortunately, only one group of people received the message I was conveying from the parrots on the island."

Kathy narrowed her eyes: "The same group that just left?"

The stone-skinned parrot nodded.

Why are you helping those who land on the island?

"In order to fulfill my mission,"

The woman's voice suddenly became hoarse, and her gaze towards Kathy was suddenly filled with pity—

No, that's more like self-pity.

And she immediately added, "In order to die—"

Upon hearing this, Kathy's brain went blank.

It took him a long time to realize that this stone-skinned parrot had a death wish.

After a moment's thought, Kathy finally understood what the other person was thinking.

The Scarlet Prince has lived for thousands of years, but this woman has probably lived even longer.

One can imagine how cruelly tormented extreme loneliness must have been for her.

However, because she was burdened with a mission that seemed like a curse, she ended up in a situation where she could neither die nor be reborn.

Only by fulfilling her mission would she have the right to seek death.

Cathy felt sorry for her, but there was nothing she could do.

Help her die? Cathy simply couldn't bring herself to do it, especially after learning how pitiful she was.

Kathy took a deep breath: "Then do you know who I am?"

The stone-skinned parrot shook its head: "I don't know. I can only calculate the general outline of the future, but I can't predict the details. However, someone will eventually be able to give me relief, and I hope it's you."

Cathy wanted to apologize, but she understood that even this statement would hurt her.

He took a deep breath and decided to harden his heart and ignore the other person's situation.

"I also have a mission," Kathy thought.

Cathy cleared her throat and said loudly to the woman in front of her, "I am Cathy Lines, the Duchess of the Lines family. Do you know my family?"

"I know," the stone-skinned parrot looked at Casey expectantly. "I've been looking forward to the arrival of the Lines family."

Cathy was startled: "Why?"

The woman replied, "The people of the Lines family must empty all the mines to forge a Sleeping Bell to soothe the dreams of the primordial will."

"What is the primordial will?" Casey asked.

"The origin of everything, the end of all things," said the Stone-skinned Parrot. "Time is its unconscious product, and if time were to collapse, everything would collapse into a single superposition state."

This answer left Cathy completely bewildered: "I don't understand!"

"First, you need to know how to do it. If you really want to understand all the principles, I will patiently teach you, but it will be a long process."

Upon hearing this, Kathy remained silent for a long time.

He could sense that if he agreed, the other party would feel a sense of relief.

Kathy nodded: "I understand."

"Very good—thank you—"

But Cathy decided to get straight to the point: "But I have lost the plateau, and my territory has been taken by my vassals. Madam, how can I take it back?"

The stone-skinned parrot stared at Kathy for a moment: "Tell me your story, and I'll help you calculate—"

Upon hearing this, Casey immediately realized that his trip had not been in vain.

Afterwards, Kathy told the stone-skinned parrot in front of her about her experiences and the situation on the plateau.

After some calculations, the stone-skinned parrot replied: "Your experience is full of too many anomalies, as if there are many unmonitorable and unpredictable variables in your life."

Kathy was startled: "What do you mean?"

"I can't dig into the anomaly nodes, but I can be sure that the source of all anomalies is not your enemy. You don't need to do anything; just raise your banner, and you will be met with overwhelming support."

“But the Zorc family is too cunning, and I’m worried I’m no match for them,” Casey said.

"Are the Zorc family the people you hate the most?"

"Yes!" Casey nodded.

"Then, the one who hates you the most will become the executioner who destroys the Zorc family. The two will have a showdown, and in the end, they will both perish."

Hearing this prophetic declaration, Casey was completely bewildered.

He quickly pressed on, "Excuse me—"

Just as he opened his mouth, he felt an unprecedented fear, as if every part of his body was sending a warning to Casey.

At the same time, Kathy saw a dark figure rushing towards him from a distance.

Harriet saw it too, and she immediately stood in front of Cathy.

Harriet raised her hand, and a wall of thorns appeared in front of the two of them.

Then, a golden light flashed, and the wall of thorns collapsed instantly.

Then, a man wielding a short, round-headed hammer rushed up to the two of them.

He seemed to judge Harriet to be a greater threat, and before Harriet could react, he swung the short hammer at her head.

Blood splattered everywhere —

"No!" Cathy felt like her heart was about to break.

"Oh! Orange-yellow hair—"
