"You are very smart." Qin also looked at the gradually dissipating fog and said, "But smart people will not take the initiative to approach the banquet."

Zhang Yunian smiled: "So I'm not smart enough."

Qin Ye also laughed, and he looked back at Zhang Yunian: "If you can maintain absolute sanity, then it's not a human being, but a machine, a program."

When he said this, his expression changed a bit.

Zhang Yunian noticed these changes. He was silent for a moment. Instead of hiding the question in his heart, he asked, "Uncle Qin, about Wenyu... is there something wrong with his body?"

Qin also shook his head slightly and sighed slightly: "His situation is very complicated, and I can't fully understand it. Maybe only he can feel those abnormalities."

"By abnormal you mean..."

Zhang Yunian continued to ask.

"Memory fragments." Qin Ye's answer surprised Zhang Yunian.

But then, Qin also said something that surprised him even more.

"Strictly speaking, Qin Wenyu is not my son. He has the blood of the statue in his body and the soul from thousands of years ago. Who he is depends on what he finds from his own memory."

Qin also finally said those words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"But... I will help him. The Fujiwara family opened a wrong door, and the people who follow us are going deeper and deeper on this wrong road, so... Yu Nian, what I really want to do is to forgive crime."

By now, the fog had all dissipated.

Underground of Fenglian Lake, there was a faint whisper, as if there were countless souls with reluctance and resentment before they dissipated.

Zhang Yunian raised his eyes in surprise and stared at the surface of the water, where the mist had suddenly dissipated. One after another faint shadows appeared on the surface of the water.

Those phantoms are... one, two, three, four... nine!

A full nine.

Humanoid, beastlike, and some indescribably bizarre shapes.

That's... a feast statue!

Zhang Yunian was stunned as he watched the phantom of the sacrificial banquet statue appear on Fenglian Lake.

But in the blink of an eye, those statues began to crumble.

As if being disassembled by a pair of invisible giant hands, the huge and mysterious statue collapsed rapidly, and the unknown material fell from the statue, falling into the dark and endless abyss.

Those chrysanthemums, like the one that dissipated in Zhang Yunian's hands before, turned into moose powder, guided by some invisible force, spiraled into the void, and disappeared completely...

Just when Zhang Yunian thought that the mirage from a thousand years ago that happened on Fenglian Lake was about to disappear completely.

Variation protrusions.

A strip of huge black wood appeared on the water, and countless scattered and broken petals ignited like candles in the shrine, and along with it, the change of the black wood.

One, two, three... The dense black wood built a mysterious high platform, and on the high platform, countless fluorescent lights were lit up.

When Zhang Yunian was led by the jailer to Sen Luo's face, he had seen similar fluorescence.

The jailers call them...blank souls.

Zhang Yunian was stunned by this crazy evolution.

He was not someone who would be shocked, but what happened in front of him... made him feel incredible, and also had a sense of indescribable indescribable.

Just now, in just a few short breaths, the nine sacrificial statues representing terror and taboo have disappeared. Their disappearance seems to have become some kind of sacrifice, calling out this mysterious high platform.

Change has not stopped.

On the mysterious high platform, the dots of blank souls quickly condensed into one piece, and then, like an unfolded picture scroll, from under the high platform, they spread in the direction of Qin Ye and Zhang Yunian.

A mysterious, vast, unimaginable sense of grandeur and desolation came upon me.

This is very different from the fear brought by the sacrificial feast.

Zhang Yunian was at a loss.

What are the nine statues that form the sacrificial banquet?

If those statues, and the high platform formed after the statue was broken, were created by a certain civilization.

Then their heights are simply beyond the reach of the current human beings.

This is Zhang Yunian's true feeling.

Ancient, sad, unwilling, resentful... The dense emotions are projected from the phantom high platform.

But the most immediate emotion is...waiting.

Zhang Yunian felt a surge of hope.

The mysterious high platform seems to be waiting for a certain existence.

Zhang Yunian looked at Qin Ye, and the strong wind generated by the dense changes on the lake made his black and white hair flutter randomly.

But Qin also didn't seem surprised.

Zhang Yunian took a few steps forward slowly, as if he wanted to reach out and try to touch the long soul blanket that had stretched out to the front.

But he couldn't touch it.

There is no sense of terror or terror. At this moment, there is only mystery and unspeakable solemnity on Fenglian Lake.

Maybe... the nine statues that fell a thousand years ago were not punishment from God, but civilization from another dimension...

Zhang Yunian suddenly thought.

Yes...the world has been rejecting them.

This is where the biggest problem lies.

The feast... is not recognized by the power of reality, and the so-called power of reality is actually this world.

If they are things that already exist, but have not been discovered by humans, why are they rejected?

Only human beings consider themselves the masters of the world, and for the world, everything born in its body is its children.

The origin of the sacrificial banquet... Zhang Yunian finally knew.

It is an extraterrestrial civilization.

It does not belong to this world at all, so it is rejected and obliterated.

Maybe...it accidentally fell into this world from a gap in time and space.

So... what does it want to do?

Is it going to take over the world?

Zhang Yunian did not understand that although the sacrificial banquet came from another world, it was by no means an opponent of this complete world.

Therefore, it has been compressed in a corner and cannot have a profound impact.

What is the reason for the appearance of "Sacrificial Banquet"?

Zhang Yunian, who was immersed in thinking, suddenly found that Fenglian Lake was empty.

At the beginning, the chrysanthemum, nine statues, and later the black wood, the high platform, the soul paving...

Everything is gone.

He came over suddenly, as if he had surfaced from the water.

His eyes couldn't help but search for a figure—what is Qin Ye doing?

Qin Ye's hair was a little messy, and he seemed to know that Zhang Yunian was looking at him.

"This is the reason why Sen Luo's base is chosen in Nemuro City." Qin also turned his head, and in a short period of time, he seemed to have aged a little, "Since twenty years ago, this place has been constantly changing. The illusions just now appeared."

"You should know that it's not an illusion, it's a projection of what happened a thousand years ago, it's accumulating power, it wants to come."

Qin Ye's words made Zhang Yunian horrified and puzzled.

"Who is it? Why is it coming? Does it want to take over the world?"

Zhang Yunian's three questions seem to be one problem.

Qin Ye was silent for a long time, then turned around and said:

"It's looking for someone."
