Their commission was suspicious.

At this point, it can only be considered a business transaction. Since it was getting late, we invited the Penguin Logistics members to stay overnight in Rhodes Island.

Terra has never been a safe place, especially at night.

Chen Luo looked closely at Exusiai, wondering where to start.

Hey, could you move that lousy light bulb away? It's really glaring. Your investigative talent is reminding you to protect your eyes.

Chen Luo thought the humanized plugin made a lot of sense, so he reached out and pulled the light tube off Exusiai's head.

Exusiai is still asleep and has no idea what's going on.

Generally speaking, the angelic aura is one of the most important things for the Sarkaz people, and they can never be separated from it. The only thing that could change it is—falling from grace. This usually manifests as shooting at one's own kind.

After falling from grace, the angel's halo will become shattered and dimmed.

The halo is not just for show. In addition to shining, the angel's halo also has the ability to empathize with its own kind. Although it is not as convenient as mind reading, it is at least smoother than communication between ordinary people.

Moreover, the halo also acts as a connector, linking the deity beneath the Lateran Cathedral—the sacred Kara.

In the continent of Terra, there are many beings that resemble gods. For example, Snowfall is the representative of the gods of the Great Snow Mountain and is therefore known as the Holy Maiden.

There are also the giant beasts of Yan Kingdom, such as Yazi and Sui.

And the sacred Kara is the essence of the "Latland Law"!

The "Law" connects every Sarkaz who has not "fallen from grace," and the halo is the medium. It is also the source of the Sarkaz race's "miracles."

All signs indicate the importance of the angelic halo to the Sarkaz and its inherently mysterious nature.

However, Chen Luo is someone who has actually experienced the true aura of an angel!

Moreover, Chen Luo truly is an angel killer; this is both a title and Chen Luo's identity in this world.

The ability to remove the halo from the angel's head seems more like... a plot device?

At least in this world, the so-called identity mission is to throw the real Chen Luo into every time period and different place in this world, and record the choices Chen Luo would make under different abilities.

However, since these are mostly developments of branching paths, they will not have a significant impact on the current Terra continent.

In Laterano, among the Sarkaz, the identity of the Angel Killer represents a terrifying story.

Perhaps Exusiai grew up listening to Chen Luo's horror stories.

If you don't behave and go to sleep, the Angel Killer will enter your dreams and steal your angelic aura!

This phrase has become a basic phrase used by Sakorta people to lull their children to sleep.

"Do you think... there's any difference in the smell between this angel halo and the angel halo of the angels in the world of Little Evil God?" Chen Luo muttered, looking at the halo in his hand.

Take a bite.

"Click!" Chen Luo chose to follow the suggestion of the user-friendly plugin.

It has a lot of words, so listen to it!

The halo in Chen Luo's hand shattered with a sound, leaving a gap.

After chewing for a moment, Chen Luo made his own assessment.

"It's not tasty, at least not as good as the angel halo on Poporon's head. At least that angel halo tastes a bit better, and the body glows. This halo... it's a bit hard to digest," Chen Luo commented.

Perhaps sensing the unusual aura, Exusiai frowned slightly in her sleep, but did not wake up.

Chen Luo was somewhat aware of the disastrous situation he had created with the halo, so he used a little "time" to revert the halo to its state before it was damaged.

But Chen Luo didn't return the halo to Exusiai; instead, he was scrutinizing her even more closely.

Because they were transporting supplies during the day, Exusiai and her companions were sleeping soundly and were not awakened by the slight clicking sound.

The reason Chen Luo removed the Exusiai halo was actually to carefully observe the possible requests that might arise from Exusiai.

Looking at the list of possible commissions, Chen Luo's eyes lit up when he saw one in particular.

Sure enough, there was such a request.

However, to publish a commission, a subject is required, and at least Exusiai needs to be consciously thinking about this issue.

But since we can't wake Exusiai up in reality, it's not impossible to make Exusiai have thoughts in a dream.

Whether it's the Herrscher of Knowledge or the Demon of the Heart, although they are not as good as Nightmare at infiltrating dreams, they are still quite professional at it.

"I'm coming in." After Chen Luo finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Chen Luo has entered Exusiai's dream.

Meanwhile, footsteps sounded beside Warfarin, who was pondering where the 4000 LMD had gone on the bridge of Rhodes Island.

The effect of a head pat depends on the duration of the pat, and Chen Luo patted Warfarin's head for quite a while, so much so that Warfarin is still pondering that somewhat bizarre question.

"Warfarin." The sudden voice startled Warfarin, bringing her back to her senses from the question and making her look at the person beside her.

"Old woman, no, Kal'tsit? Why are you back?" Warfarin asked in surprise.

"I should ask you, why did you come down here?" When Warfarin called her "old woman," a flash of murderous intent appeared in Kal'tsit's eyes.

However, Kal'tsit has something more important to do right now.

“Oh, that’s not important, Kal’tsit. I have a very important question to ask you. A very puzzling one,” Warfarin said, stroking her chin.

The rope binding his hands? The rope had long been untied.

"Speak." Seeing Warfarin's current state, Kal'tsit knew that if she didn't clear up her doubts, she probably wouldn't get any more answers from Warfarin, so Kal'tsit didn't mind listening to what Warfarin had to say.

"If, and I mean if, you have a friend who's on the run, and when you're hoisted onto the bridge, he lowers you to two meters off the ground, then spins you counter-clockwise with a rope. At the very end of the spin, that friend asks you for a 'friendship fee,' then gets you to sign an IOU, and finally…"

"Chen Luo is back?" Kal'tsit frowned.

"Oh dear, how did you know?" Warfarin exclaimed in surprise!

I didn't give any hints about Chen Luo's identity just now.

"Fleeing and having friends... I don't think you have any other friends on the run besides Chen Luo, let alone something like 'friends' money'..."

“Indeed.” Warfarin nodded in agreement.

“But I’m not finished yet,” Warfarin continued.

“No need to explain, no wonder I couldn’t find any record of anyone coming to the bridge tonight in the system. So where did he go?” Kal’tsit asked Warfarin.

What are you going to do?

"Bring him back and get to work!"

"I don't know, I didn't notice... but I did give him 4000 LMD, and there's a mark I left on it. You can try looking for it." Warfarin quickly added, seeing that Kal'tsit was about to lose her temper.

Chapter 1185 Exusiai: My Aura... Gone?!

"Happy maiden, did you fall from this golden halo? Or this silver halo? Or this ordinary halo?" A vast and majestic voice rang out.

Exusiai watched in astonishment as a man with a pair of pure white wings on his back and a broken halo above his head slowly rose from the river, while three halos floated in his hands.

For some reason, Exusiai ended up by the river, and for some reason, her halo accidentally fell into the river...

Exusiai couldn't explain this situation, but since everything was reasonable in a dream, Exusiai wasn't surprised.

Even if a dreamer is unaware that they are dreaming, they will take all the illogical things in the dream for granted and will not feel that their bewilderment and confusion in the dream are foolish.

They only truly realize how foolish they were when they woke up and couldn't process what they had done in their dream!

Before this, everything in the dream was reasonable.

So it's quite reasonable that this river god who suddenly appears before us looks like an angel... right?

"Who are you?" Exusiai tilted her head and asked.

At the same time, Exusiai subconsciously touched her head and found that the halo that had always been there was indeed gone. However, since it was a dream, Exusiai was not very panicked.

"I am the River God."

"Why does the River God have wings?"

"This is just decoration." Chen Luo shook his wings, and they disappeared without a trace.

"Then why does the river god have a halo?"

“This is also for decoration.” Chen Luo took off the halo from his head.

"But why is your halo reduced by a quarter? Yet it doesn't seem dim like the halo of a fallen angel?"

"Oh, this? I'll eat it." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then took a small bite of the halo in his hand.

The halo is real, and Chen Luo is real too. Only the wings are virtual. The halo diminishes the more you consume it, so Chen Luo needs to use it sparingly.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Exusiai clapped her hands.

"So which of these three halos is yours?" Chen Luo asked after putting the halo he had just bitten off back on his head.

"Emmm...they're all mine!" Exusiai cheered, raising her hand.

In dreams, you don't need to consider any logic. As long as you think it's reasonable, then it is reasonable. Exusiai wanted it, so Exusiai said it.

Therefore, in Chen Luo's view, entering a dream to communicate with others is as easy as deceiving a fool, unless you are willing to use the power of the Law of Consciousness or the power of the inner demon to wake up the person in the dream and make him realize that he is indeed dreaming. Only then will this person's logic become the logic of a normal person.

For example, Chen Luo once dreamed of clinging to Fu Hua in a battle royale game, and then, to thank Fu Hua, offering himself to her.

The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.

"Hmm, you answered wrong, but since you're so cute, I'll give you another chance," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"Hey, isn't this the correct answer?"

"Of course not. I know it in my heart." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Exusiai, who was currently laughing non-stop.

Chen Luo looked around and realized that the dream he was in was indeed a joyful one. The main theme of the dream was joy, so it seemed that Exusiai had dreamt of something happy.

"Hehehe, I just wanted to test if a Sarkaz could wield three auras at once." Exusiai scratched her head sheepishly.

"Alright, I'll give you a little more time to think this time. Before that, let's talk about something else. For example... did you bake this apple pie?" Chen Luo walked out of the river, then went to the riverbank and picked up a small piece of apple pie.

"Yes, I made it! It's delicious, you should try it." Exusiai warmly invited Chen Luo to share the food.

"Not bad..." Chen Luo nodded after picking up a piece of apple pie and tasting it carefully.

This is the taste from Exusiai's memories, and because Exusiai likes apple pie, the taste has been enhanced. As the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Demon of the Heart, Chen Luo can taste this enhanced deliciousness.

The taste is indeed very good.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"But why are there only apple slices on this buffet-like table?"

On the riverbank where the spring grass is lush, there is a long table with a white tablecloth on it, but the only food on the table is apple pie.

"Because all I know how to make is apple pie!" Exusiai said matter-of-factly.

"...It's really amazing that you can say that with such pride." Chen Luo sighed.

Lateran people have an extreme fondness for sweets, and dessert making is an important part of Lateran culture.

Andre Cher, a member of Rhodes Island's A4 preparatory team, claims to be able to make more than 25 kinds of desserts.

Even so, Andercher still called himself "unqualified".

As for Exusiai, who can only make apple pie... she's a disgrace to Laterano!

"Although I can only make a few desserts, one favorite is enough!" Exusiai said proudly.

"Okay, so as payment for this apple pie, what's your wish?" Chen Luo asked.

"Of course. But do your river gods also grant wishes?"

"Tell me about it, what if it comes true?" Chen Luo said.

"Sigh, if I could, I really want to find someone to turn off that fluorescent light tube on my head... Now that it's in your hands, I want to be able to get a good night's sleep without an eye mask!" Exusiai said, pointing to the glowing halo in Chen Luo's hand.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"You only mentioned one wish? Okay, we can try to find the rest later."

Seeing that only one of the several wishes that Exusiai could receive was granted, Chen Luo felt a little disappointed, but he understood.

Among the remaining wishes, one of them was to have eight guns as a gift.

Each angel has their own guardian gun, but one is not enough.

However, unlocking this mission requires a certain level of favorability, since not every angel will accept a gun just because someone offers it to them.
