The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

Being completely clueless when asked is quite in line with A-Liu's style.

But since A-Liu appeared before her, it meant that she had indeed sensed the change.

But why would my system produce something that could change the entire world?

Judging from A-Liu's appearance, he probably only appeared in front of Wang Yan because the commotion he made had startled her.

"Um...why don't we go in and have a seat first?"

Wang Yan suddenly reminded her, and A Liu was momentarily dazed. She tilted her head and looked away, not knowing where she was looking. After a moment, she nodded slightly and sat down next to Wang Yan on the edge of the cliff.

"Aren't you going in?"

"We're leaving soon; the things downstairs are quite troublesome."

The Church of the Deadwood is becoming increasingly aggressive. It's easy to imagine that the filthy creatures in the deepest abyss will riot violently, and A-Liu's mission will become increasingly difficult.

It had been quite a while since they last met, and Wang Yan still had many questions for her. Compared to their last parting in White Wolf City, his understanding of A Liu had deepened.

A-Liu was still somewhat dazed, and sometimes her speech was not very fluent. Even if she knew how to express herself, she might not be able to describe it in words. She would occasionally gesture with her hands. If you only looked at her like this, you would not be able to associate her with the so-called "Guardian".

Wang Yan took the sword and placed it in A Liu's hand. Since she couldn't explain what changes had occurred, it was better to let her experience it for herself.

"How is it? Any special feelings?"

Following Wang Yan's instructions, A Liu closed her eyes and carefully sensed the sensations as he had just described. She then opened her eyes, somewhat uncertain, and said:

"It's like... a mark that marks the whole world, and I don't know the specifics."

A-Liu's reply was more difficult to understand than Wang Yan had imagined. What did it mean that his system had given him something that marked the entire world?

If he hadn't known A-Liu beforehand, he probably would have been slapped to death by her by now.

Upon realizing this, Wang Yan was startled and quickly said:

"Aru, besides you, is there anyone else who can sense this thing?"

A-Liu thought about it carefully, going over it thoroughly in her mind, before answering:

"I'm the only guardian left. There probably aren't many people left who can sense the changes in the world."

These words relieved Wang Yan. He was afraid that he had unintentionally caused a big problem and attracted the attention of some strange things, which would be a loss.

It was a false alarm. Wang Yan smiled and continued talking about Xingming.

"A cloud...whale?"

"Hmm, their race seems to respect you greatly, and they've also fought on the front lines against the abyssal beasts. Do you remember them?"

"Hmm... I don't quite remember, but if you said it, then it must be true."

Wang Yan's lips twitched slightly. But then again, as a guardian, A Liu's gaze should have been focused on the abyssal beasts. Perhaps she really didn't notice that someone was fighting alongside her.

However, the idea that "what I say is true" still makes it quite difficult for Wang Yan to maintain her composure.

"That member of the Emperor Whale's tribe suffered a hidden ailment during the battle with the alien beast; her body is being corroded by the beast's toxins. I think you might have some solutions—would you like to go see her?"

Faced with Wang Yan's request, A Liu did not refuse at all. She nodded, and Wang Yan was very happy. So he got up, took her wrist, and prepared to go inside to talk.

"Xingming should be in her room right now. Let me take you to her."

As Wang Yan knocked softly, Xingming, who was silent in the wooden house, heard the noise and opened the door. He saw that it was Wang Yan who had come to see him, and behind him... he seemed to have brought a rather strange woman with him?

"Xingming! I have good news for you! Your injuries should be healable!"

Xingming's first reaction was that she thought she had misheard. Her big blue eyes were filled with confusion. Without saying a word, Wang Yan took A Liu's wrist and led her into the room. He then led her to sit down on the bed in a very familiar manner.

Xingming was still full of questions. Looking at the woman dressed in white with scales on her face, she felt a strange, inexplicable stirring within her, as if... she couldn't help but want to prostrate herself before her...

Wait, could it be...?

An idea popped into Xingming's mind, and her pupils contracted slightly, somewhat incredulous.

"Xingming, this is the Guardian. Your injuries can be healed. She just said she's willing to take a look at the residual poison in your body."

Before Wang Yan finished speaking, Xingming suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered her head, and her face was full of piety.

"Guardian...it really is you! To see you, I...I..."

Xingming was indeed very excited, and even his speech was a little slurred. Wang Yan glanced at A Liu, and sure enough, the guy's reaction was also one of bewilderment.

"Um, Xingming, please get up first. A-Liu... she doesn't really care about these trivial things. Your kneeling has only made her unsure of what to do."

Xingming looked up and, sure enough, saw the strange expression on A-Liu's face. Realizing her lapse in composure, she quickly stood up. Wang Yan sighed, looked at A-Liu, and said to her:

"Can you see the problems with Xingming?"

A-Liu's eyes quickly scanned Xingming's entire body before she nodded.

"Indeed, just as you said, there is the smell of those strange beasts."

"Can it be untied?"

"Just some minor issues."

Without waiting for Wang Yan and Xingming's reply, A Liu raised one of her hands. Just like Wang Yan had seen in White Wolf City, she once again emitted that soft light, which, guided by A Liu, gradually gathered towards Xingming through her fingertips.

That was a power originating from the very source of the world. To the residual poison of the strange beast, it was like cotton wool encountering a flame. It only touched the poison for a moment before vanishing completely, turning into nothingness and disappearing from Xingming's body.

The disappearance of the residual poison felt like half of his life had been drained from his body. Xingming's legs went weak, and his tall body could not support him, causing him to fall straight down. Fortunately, Wang Yan reacted quickly and caught him, preventing Xingming from falling.

Xingming's forehead was covered in sweat, and her hands were trembling slightly, but her eyes were clear. Although she was filled with a sense of emptiness, she could clearly feel that her strength was gradually returning to its peak, the strength she had when she fought alongside her people.

The residual toxins in my body have truly and completely disappeared!
