Chapter 886: Cover

Gu Qing Shan looked at the thing in his hand.

It was a thick black suitcase, hidden by Anna into one of the part.i.tion boards under the Mech maintenance platform.

Not too long after she hid it away, those people barged in on her.

They thoroughly destroyed this place together with the suitcase.

Because of that, Anna erupted in anger and killed them.

At this moment, thanks to the power of [Chaotic Flow], this destroyed suitcase had once again made it into Gu Qing Shan’s hands.

Gu Qing Shan tried opening it.

Strangely, the suitcase seemed to be sealed shut, there wasn’t any place that it could be opened from.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking of a solution, he abruptly heard a ‘pop’ when a Card was shot out from the suitcase.

An eye was depicted on the Card that carefully observed Gu Qing Shan.

[Ident.i.ty confirmed—— truly surprising, we found you only after a short time]

[Found the person whose life force is linked to Anna, mission accomplished]

The Card spoke, then fell back into the suitcase.

Ka-chak!

The suitcase opened.

———this suitcase was actually a Card?

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Since when was Anna a Card user?

He looked down and saw that there was a grey uniform, an ID card, a pa.s.sport, a bag of coins, a Card, and a small silver box inside the suitcase.

Gu Qing Shan picked the ID card up and saw the name written on it to be [Holy Church of Fate’s apprentice knight, Su Liu Shui]

The pa.s.sport was stamped with a seal: [Allows the ability to travel to any world within the Strife Zones]

After looking at the ID card and pa.s.sport, then at the grey uniform, Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.

Anna was supposed to be a member of the Holy Church of Death, so where did she get a set of ID and pa.s.sport from the Holy Church of Fate?

And how did she know I would appear here?

Gu Qing Shan put the ID card and pa.s.sport down to look at the Card.

The Card depicted a grey fog that obscured everything inside.

When Gu Qing Shan picked the Card up, the fog scattered, the entire Card turned into a holographic image that took the shape of a girl.

Su Xue Er.

Gu Qing Shan unexpectedly frowned.

Why did Su Xue Er show up in something Anna left me?

The Su Xue Er within the hologram was looking forward, but it wasn’t focused on Gu Qing Shan.

Obviously, this was only a recording.

After a long time of them not seeing each other, Su Xue Er was still beautiful and pristine like before, but now she carried a faint air of pressure.

She began talking to the air:

[Qing Shan, if you can see this, this means that mine and Anna’s preparations weren’t for naught]

[Not too long ago, the seven Daemons sent a Divine Revelation at the same time, saying that you were a blasphemer and that you have escaped from the seal of Drifting Sand world]

[At this moment, the entire Strife Zones is after you, anyone who catches you would immediately earn the reward of apotheosis]

[This caused such a huge uproar that everyone went insane——- you absolutely cannot underestimate the Combatants of the Strife Zones, they have countless ways to track and follow a person’s trail]

[After Anna and I combined our powers, we managed to make a prophecy through your life force connection with her and found the place that you are most likely to appear]

At this point, Su Xue Er appeared a bit shy:

[Currently, I’m a Cardinal of the Holy Church of Fate, so I was responsible for preparing a new ident.i.ty for you, while Anna was responsible for bringing these items to the primitive invaded world]

[This new ident.i.ty was something I specifically prepared for you]

[The silver box is an airs.h.i.+p. Put your hand on it and say my name, it will complete its transformation]

[Use your new ident.i.ty and return to the Strife Zones, come to the Holy Church of Fate to find me, both Anna and I are waiting for you]

[Be very careful]

The hologram disappeared together with Su Xue Er’s figure.

Gu Qing Shan stood stunned for a while.

Su Xue Er was already a Cardinal of the Holy Church of Fate.

Since Anna was able to kill someone here and left without trouble, her status within the Holy Church of Death must also be quite considerable.

——-even when ‘G.o.d’ had specifically said to capture me, these two girls had joined forces to think of a way to save me instead.

Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

Immediately, he recalled something and frowned again.

He wasn’t worried about his own situation, he was actually worried about the two girls.

——they have no idea what the ‘G.o.ds’ actually were.

The one in control of the seven Holy Churches, the ‘Will of G.o.ds’ hidden behind everything might actually be the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

In the phantom images, I used its own power to cut itself into tiny pieces and threw them into countless fragments of parallel worlds.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver would have had to spend an untold amount of time to find its body again…

——–it is surely holding a heavy grudge.

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his chin and continued thinking.

Beside the Abyssal Fate Weaver, the Soul Shrieker had also fallen under my control and died kneeling with its own spear pierced through its head.

The next time it woke back up, the spear should still be stuck in its head, so before it thoroughly woke up and pulled the entire spear out, it would probably die again.

In other words, every time it resurrected, it could only pull the spear out a little bit before being killed again.

This process would likely take a long time also.

Ah right, the Abyssal Demon Dragon also died quite a horrible death, his head was completely chopped to a pulp.

…

Now that I think about it, I offended all three of these Abyssal monsters quite thoroughly.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze fell onto the grey Holy Church of Fate apprentice knight uniform.

No.

I can’t use this.

Su Xue Er and Anna only know that the Divinities placed a bounty on my head, but they don’t know how terrifying the monsters behind the Divinities were.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver had the Causality Skill: [Existence], the Soul Shrieker was scheming enough to fool the entirety of humanity into forging its weapon; as for the Abyssal Demon Dragon——- now that the Earth Creator is missing, its mind will most likely regain the clarity it once had.

If these three monsters noticed any connection between me and the girls, the only thing waiting for them would be an irreversible path of death.

Gu Qing Shan slowly closed the black suitcase.

Being able to achieve so much right under the monsters’ eyes, Su Xue Er and Anna had already done their best.

But this is too dangerous to use.

Because I have enough power to face the three monsters, I absolutely cannot let anyone discover any connections between us.

——-then where should I go now?

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.

Su Xue Er’s words resounded in his ears once again:

[At this moment, the entire Strife Zones are going after you, anyone who catches you would immediately earn the reward of apotheosis]

[This caused such a huge uproar that everyone went insane——- you absolutely cannot underestimate the Combatants of the Strife Zones, they have countless ways to track and follow a person’s trail]

Gu Qing Shan lightly threw the entire black suitcase into the air.

He then drew the Earth sword and swung upwards——-

[Earth’s Choice], activate!

[Earth’s Choice: Cut and extinguish any existence]

[Note: The more powerful the target you want to extinguish, the more Soul Points Earth’s Choice will require]

As soon as the black suitcase came into contact with the sword phantom, it was erased from this world without a warning or sound, not leaving a single trace.

This was the mighty power of a Law from the Eternal Abyss, there was almost no way to restore an object that had been extinguished to its previous state——- even if someone tried to rewind time, the item would have already been extinguished.

Gu Qing Shan calmed down.

This way, no one would be able to track this, the two girls should be safe, and no one should be able to find my trail.

…no, I can’t just a.s.sume that so easily, let’s try and think if there are any other openings.

Because this was related to both Su Xue Er and Anna, Gu Qing Shan was being a lot more careful, fully focused on thinking about this.

He paced back and forth around the re-built restructure, slowly and steadily.

The only problem now is why Anna wanted to come to this Mech maintenance bay, and why was she so furious that she killed someone.

If any high-ranking members of the Holy Church were to have such a doubt, they would only need a single order to mobilize a large number of followers to investigate this.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan became more cautious.

How do I conceal this?

From what I learnt, the Earth World was only destroyed about half a month ago.

If someone were to come to this world and investigate Anna’s murder of that person, what would happen?

Gu Qing Shan stopped walking and carefully went through every detail.

If someone had an ability to turn back time as I did, wouldn’t they be able to restore the Mech maintenance bay to how it was before?

There are too many worlds with too many strange and unheard-of abilities, I can’t underestimate anyone or hold any wishful thoughts.

If those people were sent to investigate Anna, they would surely be capable people who have the means to dig all the way to the roots and find out Anna’s motives of going to the Mech maintenance bay.

They will find the traces that Anna left behind.

Fortunately, the black suitcase had already been extinguished, so it would never be found.

——if there is no evidence, there would also be no way to prove that Anna had done anything.

However, having no traces at all could also suggest that something did happen here.

Those investigators would continue to doubt Anna and pay closer attention to her.

Gu Qing Shan looked up to the ceiling and silently thought for a while.

Right now, the time is technically just after Anna had hidden the black suitcase away for the Mech maintenance bay.

So if I want to do anything to support her, this would be the best and only time to do it.

Gu Qing Shan continued to think for a while.

Is there anything that can perfectly explain Anna’s anger to the point of killing someone after it’s destroyed?

After a few moments, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to cover the entire city.

This world’s destruction was swift, and everything that could reasonably retaliate had already been destroyed without mercy.

Those with talent and potential had been taken away, while the rest were killed.

But there were still some structures that still haven’t been completely destroyed due to not posing any threats.

For example, supermarkets or convenience stores.

Gu Qing Shan vanished from the Mech maintenance bay, appeared inside a supermarket, then inside a drugstore.

He picked out two relatively intact packages and returned to the Mech maintenance bay.

After a bit of work…

Gu Qing Shan chose one of the two female-only items that he picked out to put into Anna’s hidden spot.

If someone had the ability to return the entire facility to the exact moment in time that Anna was inside like he did, they would be able to find this thing hidden where Anna had left something.

As soon as they see this, they would perfectly understand what had happened.

Gu Qing Shan thought over every detail one more time before nodding in satisfaction.

He felt that he had covered this up quite nicely.
