Chapter 675: Unexpected Discovery

Translator: CKtalon

Shes in my body!

This sentence made Loannes shiver; it was just like how his young self had accidentally watched a horror film back when the Old World hadnt been destroyed.

However, he quickly realized that this wasnt the point. The point was that the captain had actually replied to Shang Jianyao!

Before this, it was impossible to communicate with the deranged humans that Loannes and Shang Jianyao had encountered. Even if not everyone remained silent, they only spoke to themselves and were almost ravings, unlike the captain, who answered a question.

Of course, as he had been hiding most of the time, Loannes couldnt be sure if the captains current state was considered special because he had actually encountered very few Chaotic Ones.

This wasnt what he wanted to know. He only cared about one thing: Does this mean that we can still communicate with the captain and that the man from the futureShangand I can obtain some information from him?

Loannes composed himself and looked at the captainwho looked like he was begging for loveand probed, Do you know where the nighttime anomaly stems from?

Woo~

The winter nights cold wind blew in through the open window, making Loannes shrink back involuntarily.

The captain remained on one knee and repeated his previous aria. Oh, my goddess! Please accept my love!

This Loannes frowned.

Shang Jianyaowho was beside himlaughed. Youre not charming enough.

What has this got to do with charm? Loannes muttered. He preliminarily suspected that only topics related to the Goddess would make the captain respond reflexively in a chaotic, crazy, and subconscious state.

This realization disappointed Loannes. He thought for a moment before saying to Shang Jianyao, Havent you always wanted to figure out the reason behind this matter? Lets split up and search this room. I hope we can gain something.

Alright! Shang Jianyao couldnt wait.

Loannes ignored the captainwho was either kneeling, singing, and begging for love in the middle of the room or standing up and pacing back and forth with tears streaming down his faceand walked to the red desk with books and paper documents.

Those books were popular before the Old World was destroyed. Loannes had read a few of them himself and knew that there was nothing wrong with them, but he still carefully picked up the books and shook them to see if there was anything inside.

He managed to shake some items out. They drifted down and scattered on the tablea few slightly yellowing photos.

The main person in these photos was the same persona rather beautiful woman. She had long brown hair, and her blue eyes were as charming as a lake. She kept a smile that was both sweet and sunny.

The womans age was different in the different photos. The youngest was 17 or 18 years old, and she wore a cheerleading uniform with a rather hot figure. The oldest picture was when she was 25 or 26 years old. She wore a cap and a short skirt as she swung a bat.

Is this the captains goddess? Shang Jianyaos voice suddenly sounded behind Loannes.

Startled, Loannes turned around and reprimanded, How do you walk so silently?

Because theres a carpet here, Shang Jianyao explained sincerely. He cast his gaze at the photos again and curiously and excitedly said, His crush for many years?

Shang Jianyaos tone reminded Loannes of his female cousin. She acted exactly like this when discussing certain celebrities before the Old Eras destruction.

Loannes looked at the photos carefully and subconsciously looked at the captain. He then cursed softly, Beast!

Whats the reason? Shang Jianyao asked with glistening eyes.

Loannes pointed at the photos and said, This lady is so young, but he actually calls her goddess! Doesnt he know his age?

He was at least in his forties!

Shang Jianyao seemed a little disappointed with the reason for the captain being labeled a beast. He then asked, Are you a little jealous?

W-whats there to be jealous about? Loannes asked stubbornly.

Frankly speaking, he was a little jealous because the woman in the photo was as beautiful as a celebrity. It was unknown if she had any substantial feelings for the captain. This made Loanneswho lacked female friends before the Old Worlds destruction because of his introverted personalityfeel bitter.

Thats true. Shang Jianyao didnt care if the other party was being jealous or not. He pointed at the photo and said, From the yellowish color, it should be quite old.

Loannes came to a realization.

These photos were likely taken before the Old Era was destroyed. Back then, the captain was only in his twenties. Furthermore, the womans age in the photos was progressivethe captain might not have even been 20 years old back when the first photo was taken. There was no such thing as an age gap for the relationship.

At this thought, Loannes unconsciously weaved a story in his heart and said, The captain had a crush on this lady, but the other party already had a boyfriend. He could only secretly gather photos and fantasize in private. When the Old Era was destroyed, the two of them lost all connections. Therefore, the captain fell into a deranged state and hallucinated, displaying the desire he had suppressed?

Then, how do you explain the captain saying shes in my body? Shang Jianyao was rather interested in the topic.

Loannes unconsciously got pulled into the discussion. Maybe this is a scene in his fantasy. In our culture, we like to use phrases like body and mind are one to describe love.

I dont think so. Shang Jianyao shook his head.

When Loannes looked at him, Shang Jianyao continued, First, the two of them are indeed not a couple. Otherwise, the captain wouldnt only have photos of her alone and instead have photos of them sharing the same frame.

Thats right! Loannes came to a realization. The man from the futureShangis pretty good at deduction.

Shang Jianyao further recalled. After the Old World was destroyed, the captainwho had a crush on the other partytried to save her. However, he realized that she was with another man, who she went through thick and thin together. Under his intense jealousy and disappointment, the angry captain did something irrational in an apocalyptic environment where order was lost. He killed his goddess and her boyfriend.

At this point, Shang Jianyao revealed a creepy smile. After a period of time, the captain cast his gaze at his goddesss corpse because he lacked food Thats why he said that the goddess is in his body.

Loannes was dumbfounded and inexplicably felt nauseous.

He was relatively lucky; he had been able to find food since the Old Worlds destruction. He didnt go hungry for more than three days, so he didnt have to do those cruel and terrifying things.

W-whats your basis? Loannes felt that Shangs description of the situation was too dramatic and dark.

Shang Jianyao said in a lecturing tone, This is called making bold assumptions!

Loannes was speechless, but the captains words shes in my body gave him a creepy feeling. It was difficult for him to completely deny Shang Jianyaos guess.

He paused and said, Lets continue searching for clues.

The two of them separated again and went their separate ways to flip through the various items in the room.

During this process, Loannes felt a little jealous. This was because there was actually a wine cellar in the room. Inside were many famous wines from the Old Era.

Damn it. Hed rather waste energy on these things than turn on the damn air-conditioning system! Loannes grumbled.

This allowed passengers and crew to enjoy the charm of the evening combination of the winter and sea breeze.

Maybe his fat is thick, so he isnt afraid of the cold. Shang Jianyao had returned at some point in time.

Loannes looked at the captains clearly rotund body and accepted this explanation.

After the Old Era was destroyed, food was scarce. For the captain to have such a figure meant that he had never lacked resources.

Did you find any clues? Loannes cared about the topic at hand.

Shang Jianyao asked seriously, Does the fact that he likes to eat sweets and consumes tissue at a rate higher than normal count?

No, Loannes replied without hesitation.

He couldnt hide the disappointment on his face because he didnt find any useful clues. The search of the captains room was almost done.

Shang Jianyaos expression turned serious. I think we should ask him directly.

He referred to the captain.

Loannes was infected by the seriousness and slowly nodded. We can give it a try.

Just as he said that, Shang Jianyao excitedly turned around and asked loudly, Why do you think shes your goddess?

Werent we looking for clues regarding the nighttime anomaly? Loannes couldnt keep up with Shang Jianyaos train of thought.

The captainwho had just completed an ariasmiled. Shes as beautiful as the morning sun and as kind as a pure angel. I was seriously ill once and needed a bone marrow transplant. Shewho happened to be a matchcame forward.

So this is the correct explanation for the sentence shes in my body Loannes realized that he and Shang Jianyao had made a mistake. The matter was far from being that terrifying, nor did it involve body and mind being one.

What an angel! Shang Jianyao echoed the captains words. He had no intention of asking about the origins of the nighttime anomaly.

The captains eyes were clearly confused as if he was in some state of unconsciousness. He muttered to himself, Shes also captain of the cheerleading squad. Shes cheerful, enthusiastic, and good at tennis and dancing

Excellent! Shang Jianyao praised.

The captain continued, Shes also very smart. Shes definitely not one of those women who only have boobs and a pretty face. She published a paper when she was in university. She actually chose to be a researcher in a laboratory after graduation

Shang Jianyaos smiling expression changed. He stroked his chin and thoughtfully asked, Researcher?
