Transform into a human

The show officially began, with nearly a million people packed into the "Star Arena". Winona ignited the entire audience with just one hit song, "Our Hearts".

The moment Hui Guan appeared on the stage, the entire audience erupted in screams. People were awestruck by this strange beast, and its eerie nature added to its extraordinary charm—how could there be such a perfect creation!

After leaving its cage, Hui Guan spread its wings and let out a mournful howl, but its life and death, its anger, were merely a part of human entertainment.

Like gladiators in ancient times, they had to weigh their lives on a scale in order to survive.

The girl stood before it, yet hesitated to make a move. She closed her eyes, sensing the bustling world with an utterly tranquil heart, as if waiting for something.

……

……

Samir Fort, "Boss Sheehan's secret base".

This is a popular chain restaurant in Platinum. As a special agency directly under the Wise King's Palace, the Secretariat has officials with extremely high authority in Platinum. Jin Quehua and Chengfeng refused the police officers who rushed to the scene to take their statements and instead brought Yue Lai and Li to taste the cuisine of the Sosa people.

As for Winona and the other two... Mo just sent me a message saying that this little devil is dragging her and Cavendish all over the world again.

Just checking in...

Yue Lai felt deeply exhausted.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

"No, I was just thinking about other unhappy things."

Li Miao understood, but she was too lazy to worry about Yue Lai; dealing with the delicious food in front of her was the most important thing.

Sosa cuisine is known for its strong flavors, but it rarely emphasizes any one particular taste. Sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors are blended together in an imaginative way, creating a surprisingly delicious multi-layered complex flavor.

"What's this burger called again?"

"Just like the name of this planet, Samirburg."

"What a strange name."

This was the first time Yue Lai had discovered that Li actually had a foodie side. Back in the university town, Li would sneak food from the cafeteria kitchen every day, which meant Yue Lai had missed a chance to observe her.

"Speaking of which, the sauce at Samirburg is really good. How do they manage to blend so many spices together? Is it some kind of secret recipe?"

Golden Finch twitched the corners of her mouth; it was clear that this military officer was extremely bad at smiling.

"It's not exactly a secret. Boss Xie revealed his ingredients a long time ago, and one of the special seasonings is bone ash."

Li froze in her eating, her face turning ashen. She glanced at the perfectly intact Samir Castle on Yue Lai's plate and immediately flew into a rage.

This guy is just waiting to see her make a fool of herself!

Now I'm stuck, unable to swallow or spit out, my one-track mind has become blocked at both ends!

Li felt like she was holding a mouthful of fire, and in her anger, she pinched Yue Lai's waist hard.

Yue Lai gasped in shock; the attack had come too suddenly, and he hadn't even had time to process the pain!

Watching the interaction between the two, Golden Fern suddenly burst out laughing. The other three immediately turned around, looking surprised. She awkwardly explained:

"I'm just not good at smiling, it's not like I have a poker face."

Fearing that his superior would kill him to silence him, Chengfeng quickly changed the subject: "Lord Martinongo didn't make it clear. The seasoning is made from gargoyle ashes and has nothing to do with humans."

Li thought about the gargoyle's face, a combination of zombie and rat, so ugly it was nauseating, and felt it wasn't much better...

With her mouth still gagged, she glared at Yue Lai, who immediately understood what she meant.

A mysterious light shone in Yue Lai's eyes as he activated the Deception Technique:

"You two are lying to you; it's just ordinary sauce."

Then Li believed it and swallowed Samirburg with satisfaction.

Chengfeng was dumbfounded.

Golden Finch's eyes instantly brightened; why did she suddenly find these two people so adorable...?

"Oh my god, it's so sweet!"

She screamed wildly in her heart.

"Alright, let's get down to business," Chengfeng said, changing the subject again as his superior seemed about to reveal a hidden side of himself. "Mr. Yue, could you tell me more about the details of this relic?"

He pointed to the bronze lei (a type of ancient Chinese wine vessel) placed on the corner of the table, which showed no signs of being a third-grade relic.

Yue Lai omitted the part about how he turned the tables by relying on the sea monster's divine power, and truthfully told the rest of the details of his battles with the living corpses.

"You actually managed to fend off a Flower-Adorned Guest!" Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, and even Golden Finch Flower found it somewhat unbelievable.

Li subtly curled his lip. With all the secrets this guy was hiding, it would be strange if he couldn't beat him…

"The other party is not a fully-fledged member of the 'Hairpin Flower Clan.' Their authority gives me a lifeless feeling. Gentlemen, shouldn't we be more frank?"

Chengfeng sighed: "Mr. Yue, it's not that we intentionally kept it from you, but this matter involves Platinum's top secrets. Even if we wanted to say it, we couldn't without the instructor's permission."

"Instructor" is the nickname of the person in charge of the secretariat.

"But I can assure you that it has absolutely nothing to do with the commission you have accepted. In fulfilling the High Priest's commission, the Wise King's Palace will always be your most loyal friend."

"Alright." Yue Lai didn't have the habit of forcing people.

The atmosphere at the rest of the meal became much more subdued. Chengfeng and Jinquehua seemed eager to leave. After hesitating for a long time, the latter finally spoke before leaving:

"There is something I would like to ask you both to pay attention to."

"Please speak."

The female knight stared blankly at Yue Lai:

"The entire Andromeda Sea witnessed your method of transforming the evil relic into a divine relic at the hearing. I don't need to elaborate on the immense value it contains. That living corpse may very well have come for this very reason."

Yue Lai narrowed his eyes: "I see."

The origin of the zombies is obviously a top secret of Plato, but the female knight's hint is also very clear - who else in the East Wall would dare to reach for the fruit of the North Wind?

Excluding the well-intentioned Platinum, it can only be the Eastern Yang Empire and the Flowing Ash Entity.

"Thank you, I will do my best to fulfill the High Priest's request."

The two secretaries turned and left.

A long time passed, and Yue Lai was still sitting in his seat in a daze. Li did not disturb him, but instead began to appreciate the local customs and culture of the Sosa people.

This restaurant has a huge flow of customers, and the people coming and going from Sosa are dressed in all sorts of different outfits, but without exception, they all have elements of death in their clothes.

Skull hoodies, zombie-themed earrings, and even lunch boxes are designed to resemble urns.

Just as she was getting a little bored, Yue Lai finally opened his eyes:

I'm going to the main library.

"The Great Library?! The one on the Tower of Heaven in Penglai? You actually have permission to go up the tower and borrow books!"

Not only does it exist, but it is the highest level.

Yue Lai himself didn't know what gifts the past had left him: the access to Chain Crystal Network, the unique talent pipeline, a long-established firm, and connections all over the world...

The only thing missing is the most precious memory.

"I want to go too!" Li exclaimed, her voice firm and unwavering. "I've never been before, so consider it... consider it compensation."

Although he didn't know when he owed her again, Yue Lai didn't refuse.

Uh... I haven't brought anyone in yet, so I don't know if I can do it with my own permissions.

After sending the link, the two appeared in the Tower of Babel in the blink of an eye. The words "Mountain of Books" were vividly displayed before their eyes. The vast sea of ​​books itself represented the word "silence," and Li couldn't help but gasp.

She instinctively tried to say something to express her shock, but Yue Lai quickly covered her mouth.

Although it was a virtual world, Li couldn't help but widen her eyes as she felt the warmth of Yue Lai's palm on her lips.

Yue Lai quickly used the Four Doors of the Child [Putting Yourself in Someone Else's Shoes]. Since Li had been promoted to a Four Doors Master with the help of the director, the effect was much better than the last time in the toilet.

"No sound can be made in the Great Library."

Li wondered to herself, "What would happen if it were released?"

"I'll cut your tongue out in real life."

Yue Lai looks exactly like a parent who tells a child, "If you come home late, a monster will kidnap you..."

After informing Li of the three rules of the Great Library, Yue Lai casually pulled out a blank book. With Luo Anjia reimbursing the expenses for this operation, he was quite confident. He didn't need to be as specific as before when asking questions, so he could gather as much information as possible.

He wrote on the page: "What can you tell me about the high priest's commission?"

……

Meanwhile, while Yue was busy with important business, Li quietly went to the other bookshelf, looked around nervously like a thief, and then pulled out a book.

She has a considerable sum of money in her account linked to the ChainCrystal Network, which comes from the living expenses that Love sends her every year. Although she has never touched it, Love has never stopped sending money.

Of course, Li wasn't determined to leave a single penny untouched, especially not for the sake of that secret that had been hidden for many years and involved her father.

Oh, and Yue Lai too, she's always wanted to know what race that damn guy is!

Especially Love, who kept harassing her with messages after the hearing, focusing on Yue Lai, asking not only about Yue Lai's race, but also about whether there was reproductive isolation between Yue Lai and humans.

What does reproductive isolation have to do with her!

Enraged, she immediately blocked Love.

"Damn it, why do I have to erase my memories? Couldn't I at least write them down so I can take them with me...?"

As she muttered to herself, she pulled out a book and traced the delicate handwriting with her fingertips:

"The child of Yue Lai..."

"Clatter".

The sound of a book falling to the ground startled Li. Wasn't it agreed that no sound should be made?

She quickly walked across the bookshelf and looked towards where Yue Lai was. She saw him standing there blankly, with heavy books lying at his feet.

"What's wrong!?"

Yue Lai didn't say anything, but directly used empathy to show her what he had just seen.

Blood, all I could see was blood! Bright red blood!

Within the magnificent arena, a mountain of corpses rose abruptly from the ground, with monstrous beasts, their feathers covered in pupils, swirling and soaring upwards. At the summit, Winona stood expressionless, gripping her sword, its blade dripping with endless blood.

This is a bloody feast taking place in the future.
