"Is that so..."
Walter pursed his lips slightly. With regard to Kevin's vague answer, he felt that the other party did not seem to want to discuss this aspect in detail.
In fact, Kevin knew more about star cores than Walter imagined.
In most people's understanding of star cores, the rift created by the influence of the star core, this mysterious space seems to have some kind of interconnectivity, because of the common facts that show the special products of the rift - relics and monsters.
At first, someone discovered that a planet that was affected by the core of a star and isolated from the outside world could find creations and creatures from worlds countless light years away in its rift. This couldn't help but cause people to think deeply, is there some unknown connection between the rifts?
As a result, most people believe that there are unknown channels between the Rifts for transmitting information about things that have passed away in them. Some even believe that there has always been only one Rift, but it was separated by an unknown force.
As for Kevin, when he first met Su, he learned from the other party that not only did the star cores have consciousness, but there was actually only a layer of illusory "membrane" between their consciousnesses.
Kevin naturally believed his best friend's words, for no reason, just because he was Su.
Even though he was hiding a lot of things from me, even though there were even lies mixed in...
“Heh…” Suddenly, Kevin laughed softly, and looking at Walter, he took the initiative to ask: “Actually, you want to know more about what I talked about with Su, right?”
"That's right." Walter answered frankly, but still touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "However, if it is inconvenient to disclose it, there is no need to force it."
Kevin shook his head slightly, not seeming to care: "It's not a secret, it was just a coincidence before I checked the cocoon, and this time, he contacted me."
"So...what did you talk about?" Looking at Kevin, Walter asked directly.
Kevin did not rush to answer Walter's question directly, but took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
Then, he said cryptically: "In fact, since I returned to reality, Su has already started preparing for the crossing. I guess you will have a chance to see them in a few hours."
"So soon? The trip to Adrifen..."
Walter’s face was full of surprise, but the next moment, he discovered the blind spot.
Staring at Kevin in disbelief, Walter said in surprise: "Wait, them?! Is it not just Su who came?"
"Hmm..." Kevin held his forehead with his hand, his tone vaguely uncertain, "That's exactly what I heard from him at the time, but..."
"But what?" Walter asked, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Kevin pursed his lips and finally said, "When he made the decision, I saw helplessness and entanglement in him, as if that person was not originally in his plan..."
"This……"
Walter was speechless. He had subconsciously thought that adding one more person to the team would be a good thing.
As if seeing Walter's worry, Kevin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much. I naturally asked Su. Although he didn't directly say who that person was, he still revealed some information about the other party."
"So... who is that person?" Taking a deep breath, Walter asked cautiously.
Looking at Walter, Kevin shook his head, sighed lightly, and said leisurely: "He said that it was someone you and I both knew..."
"As for the rest, I have no idea."
Rubbing his temple helplessly, Kevin sincerely felt that Su was keeping him in suspense, but he had no evidence.
Hearing this, Walter couldn't help feeling ashamed at this moment. He sincerely suspected that Kevin was keeping it a secret, but he had no evidence.
Kevin stood up slowly while holding onto the table. He glanced at Walter casually, clapped his hands twice, and said in a deep voice, "In short, what we need to do now is to stabilize the current situation. Whether the following matters can proceed smoothly depends on whether the direction of all this deviates from the outcome we expect."
Walter nodded and said seriously: "I understand. Since you have planned to this point, then the risk assessment of this trip to Adrifen..."
"Risk assessment?" Kevin frowned in confusion. After thinking for a while, he said, "Based on the information we currently have, it is impossible to assess whether this trip will be a good or bad one."
With his hands folded in front of his chest, Kevin said calmly: "Of course, I did not completely consider it. During the discussion with Su, he and I made an assumption."
"Suppose? What suppose?"
Walter once again concocted a cup of hot tea and drank it all, as if trying to suppress his inner uneasiness.
As expected, before he could even swallow the tea, Kevin raised a finger and said, "Suppose we encounter a genuine Star God this time, or even more than one Star God."
"puff--!!!"
Strong tea mixed with saliva spurted out of Walter's mouth and splashed directly towards Kevin opposite him, but before it touched the corner of his clothes, it was frozen in mid-air by an invisible chill.
"Are you afraid that you will die?" Kevin asked mercilessly, looking at Walter.
Walter subconsciously pushed his glasses up, but still glanced at it inadvertently. He coughed twice and explained, "It's too shocking. I can't imagine... If I really saw the Star God, that kind of scene..."
In a situation like that, even if I now possess the three powers, do I really have a chance of survival?
But Kevin still said to himself: "Don't worry, since you are willing to go with me, I will naturally ensure your safety."
“Well, okay…” Seeing the other party so serious, Walter had to accept the invitation, but he still asked curiously, “Since you regard the Star God as your imaginary enemy, what about you?”
"I...?" Kevin pointed at himself in surprise, and then he chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't die..."
As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand and waved it gently in the air. The weak airflow that was subtly arranged around the conversation room instantly dissipated, and the originally quiet environment suddenly became a lot noisier.
"what happened?"
Walter looked at Kevin with some confusion.
Kevin glanced sideways and whispered, "That's enough of our small talk. Next, it's time to welcome a guest."
Listening to Kevin's mysterious words, Walter also turned his head.
ta-ta-ta--
Along with the faint sound of footsteps, a white-haired woman slowly walked towards the alley not far away.
The black veil embroidered with a waning moon covered her eyes...
Chapter 212 How did they kill abundance?
His white hair, as soft as fine snow, fluttered in the wind. Even though his eyes were covered by a black veil, the murderous intent in his eyes was still faintly visible, and a glacial coldness surrounded his body.
However, the moon carved on its abdomen, which alternates between full and crescent phases, appears extremely quiet and strange at this moment.
Walter looked at the white-haired woman carefully, his gaze condensed, and the Star of Eden Cane instantly appeared in his hand.
During the previous trip to Liuyundu, Walter had been using his spatial ability to change the terrain, just to find an opportunity to separate everyone from the Rakshasa. During that process, he felt another person watching him in secret.
Walter clearly remembered that it was a look full of chill.
However, at that time, all his energy was focused on Rakshasa, and that gaze did not seem to have any intention of action. Even if he had noticed something, he did not pay any attention to the person hiding in the dark.
After the battle ended and he reunited with Dan Heng, Walter learned from the other party that they had been attacked. A white-haired woman with her eyes covered seemed to have a close connection with Dan Heng's past.
Walter didn’t think it was a coincidence for the sudden appearance of the white-haired woman: “You are…the one from Liuyundu…?”
“Well… you seem to still remember me…” Facing Walter’s suspicion, the white-haired woman had no intention of hiding it, but admitted it openly.
"What is your relationship with Luosha?" Staring at the other party, Walter went straight to the point.
At that time, he clearly felt that the gaze was not only looking at everyone, but more importantly, it was focused on that person - Rakshasa.
Walter didn’t think it was an illusion, but even if it was an illusion, he was unwilling to ignore anyone or anything that might be related to Rakshasa.
Hearing this, the white-haired woman did not answer, but took the initiative to step forward, pull out a chair, and sit down.
"I know what you want to ask, but I just had some transactions with this wandering merchant. I don't know anything about him." Facing Walter, the white-haired woman replied directly.
Walter was not satisfied with the white-haired woman's answer. In his opinion, the other party was not telling the truth.
"Really? Then I can only regretfully tell you that Luosha is already in the Prison. I'm afraid your transaction with him will also be carried out in the Prison..."
As he spoke, Walter gripped the handle of the cane tightly with his five fingers.
In an instant, the sky and the earth began to become extremely dark, and a solemn atmosphere spread between the two of them, as if the dome of the cave was about to collapse in the next moment.
Other people nearby did not seem to notice this change.
“Space…?” The white-haired woman muttered calmly to herself as she looked around at the changes that were taking place around her.
At the same time, the cold air surrounding its body stabbed out like a sharp blade, and a giant sword made of ice emerged in the air.
bang——
The cold air exploded in mid-air, freezing the changing space directly.
Seeing this, Walter couldn’t help but frowned.
Sure enough, just as Dan Heng said, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, and the sword technique that can even freeze space...
And her breath...
"Stop it, Walter, she has no intention of being our enemy."
Seeing that the situation was about to become tense, Kevin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Feeling the bone-chilling air around him, Kevin's eyes flashed with a cold light.
As if she had noticed something, the white-haired woman paused slightly and slowly turned her head to face Kevin.
"you……"
But before she could utter a word, a cold wind suddenly swept in, far more fierce than before, and dark red light floated around it.
The white-haired woman subconsciously covered her forehead, feeling as if her heart was being seen by the other person.
At this time, a calm voice was heard.
“Although I don’t know what method you used to keep your consciousness clear even when walking on the edge of the devil’s shadow, I have to admit that your willpower is far superior to that of ordinary people.”
Looking at the white-haired woman, Kevin's eyes glowed with a burning red light.
With one hand on the table, Kevin leaned forward, leaned close to the other person's ear, and whispered: "Jingliu, right?"
"Sir, do you know the art of reading minds...?" After her identity was revealed by the other party, Jingliu did not rush to take action. Instead, she spoke very calmly, as if from the very beginning, she had no intention of fighting with the two of them.
"The art of reading minds... You can indeed think so." Kevin pulled out a chair casually and sat down. Looking at the other person, he asked knowingly, "Former Sword Master, one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, you are passing by Dan Ding Division, are you going to keep an appointment?"
Exhaling lightly, Jing Liu said calmly: "Since you already know everything, why ask again?"
Raising his index finger, Kevin denied: "You misunderstood. I have no intention of interfering with your agreement. On the contrary, I hope you will not show mercy."
"Because he...?" Jing Liu asked doubtfully, as if he had thought of something.
Knocking on the table, Kevin looked at Jing Liu and asked, "Isn't it because of Dan Heng that you have been secretly observing us for so long?"
"Dan Heng?"
Walter was a little surprised. It sounded as if Kevin knew about Dan Heng's movements and situation a long time ago.
"Heh...you told me to show no mercy, are you really thinking about him?" With a sneer, there was a hint of anger in Jingliu's tone.
