Chapter 6 Confusion
tired.

very tired.

very tired.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, when the butcher actually assigned work to Xiao En, he still felt a little physical discomfort.

Because the butcher asked him to carry the corpse.

All kinds of strange corpses were wrapped in black bags, which were very heavy. Some even needed to be cut up and separated into bags. He saw the high wall for the first time. It was a wall that stretched to the end of the sight, spanning mountains and peaks, undulating along the veins of the earth, until it reached the distant end, the end of the gray fog.

"High wall, long wall, great wall."

The butcher was very satisfied with Xiao En's work. He looked at the wall that was hundreds of meters high and said slowly, "It was built in the Fourth Era and designed by an unknown master."

“It’s part of the miracle of destiny.”

"This master is also a descended soul from another world, from a country called Rome."

The Great Wall, Changyuan.

This name made Xiao En a little dazed, and he couldn't help but think of his hometown.

The butcher's next words made Xiao En couldn't help but ask: "Where is the master now?"

The alien soul of my hometown.

Xiao En had a strong intuition that the person who designed the Great Wall might have come from the same place as him.

Although they may not be from the same era.

"It fell a long time ago." The butcher said calmly.

He motioned for Xiao En to carry the heavy body bag and continued, "There are three sections of the Great Wall, which took more than three hundred years to complete. The most magnificent section is Changyuan, which was built by a wise man from an unknown land."

Xiao En looked at the towering city wall in the distance. In front of it, he felt as small as a wisp of dust.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to see your mentor." The butcher patted Xiao En's shoulder, causing him to almost stagger. He slowly said, "She has a library. Since you have mastered the reading trick, you should be able to learn the basic general knowledge quickly."

"But be careful, she has a bad temper."

Xiao En is now in a huge and majestic building complex that looks like a monastery. The surrounding mountains seem to be erased, and high towers have been built, all of which are more than 100 meters high. At the end of the sight in the distance is a black obelisk that pierces the sky. Xiao En has no way of calculating its height because part of it has already entered above the clouds.

Everything here is like a spectacle.

It is simply not something that ordinary manpower can do. Just like the butcher said, this is a miracle of the world.

There are very few living people here.

Xiao En has begun to accept reality and everything he sees.

"This year's gray disaster has just ended, so everyone will be busier than usual." The butcher took Xiao En through a suspended corridor that was more than 300 meters long. It was about 100 meters above the ground. Looking down at the ground below, you can see many tombstones. The densely packed tombstones extended for several kilometers away, which made Xiao En feel a little scalp-tingling.

There are dark marks on this gray corridor, like dried blood. Although someone cleans it daily, one can still feel a hint of eerie and cold air.

This is the land of death.

At the end of the sight was an ancient door, carved with some patterns that Xiao En could not understand. It seemed like a circle of countless snakes entangled, or like a maze. The butcher's expression became cautious, and he gently knocked on the door and said, "I want to see Ms. Hecate."

A gray mist appeared in front of Xiao En, and then turned into a hazy female figure. She stared at the two with cold eyes and said slowly: "The lady is waiting for you."

The butcher nodded respectfully and said, "Okay."

After seeing that Xiao En was still looking at the maids in front of him, the butcher pulled Xiao En and whispered, "They are the maids of Lady Hecate."

"Undead Banshee."

"There are more dead people here than living people. You will get used to it slowly."

Sort of like a ghost.

Xiao En didn't feel scared, just a little curious.

The figure of the undead maid led the way in front. After entering here, the butcher seemed to become a little restrained. This was a very large and majestic building. The long corridor was covered with all kinds of strange reliefs that looked like a maze, and there were many crafts symbolizing death. The length of a circular corridor was about two hundred meters, just like a maze. The banshee led them for a long way.

at last.

When a ray of light appeared in front of him, Xiao En's eyes suddenly became clear.

"Miss."

"They're here." The figure of the undead maid turned into gray mist and dissipated.

This is a circular hall with a diameter of about one hundred meters. There are bright flames on the walls on all four sides. Bookshelves about fifteen meters high are neatly arranged, with countless books on them, but Xiao En can't see any of the words on them.

In the center of the hall was a gorgeous desk where an old woman, dressed simply, was reading a book. She slowly raised her head, her eyes swept across the butcher beside her, and then fell on Xiao En.

"Please sit down." Lady Hecate raised her hand gently.

Then she stared at the monocle on Xiao En's nose and whispered, "Confused."

It seems that everyone here knows the monocle that Sean is wearing.

The old lady stood up, her back a little hunched, and slowly walked in front of Xiao En and said, "Young man, what about your fear?"

fear?

Xiao En was a little confused by the other party's words. He asked in confusion: "Fear?"

"Yes." Lady Hecate picked up the glasses beside her. After she put them on, she looked like a stern old woman and said in a serious tone, "Fear." "What about your fear and terror?"

Xiao En's head buzzed, and he understood what the other party was talking about, fear, the emotion of fear.

Any normal person would feel fear after experiencing all this.

Just the butcher next to Sean, this ferocious man who looked like a giant, most people would feel a little scared when they saw him.

But Sean didn't.

Lady Hecate sat down again, took off her glasses, and whispered, "Your fear is lost."

Xiao En asked cautiously, "Is that a serious problem?"

At the moment, he didn't feel anything unusual, and if the other party hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't even have noticed it.

"Nothing serious."

Lady Hecate thought for a moment and said, "But without fear, you will become impulsive and reckless."

Xiao En chewed over the other person's words.

"Because you have no fear, you will adapt to this world better than others." Lady Hecate stared at Xiao En and ordered: "Take off the confusion!"

what?
Xiao En looked a little hesitant.

He looked at the butcher beside him. As his guide, although he looked ferocious, in this short time they had spent together, the butcher was the friendliest person he had ever met.

The butcher noticed Xiao En's hesitation and nodded slightly.

Xiao En's hands trembled slightly. He hesitated and took off the spectacles on his eyes.

next second.

Everything he saw was distorted and changing, reality and illusion alternating, as if it was a cut shot flashing intermittently, and the lady Hecate in front of him was surrounded by a deep gray-white mist, her face kept changing, young, middle-aged, old, three different heads emerged in the gray-white mist.

Three heads and six arms.

Don’t look directly!

Lady Hecate's clothes were no longer simple. She was wearing a gorgeous black silk robe. Countless fine silver runes seemed like wriggling threads. Those were knowledge, living knowledge. They surrounded the lady, attached to her body, and spread along her snow-white skin.

This wide black robe is engraved with countless knowledge. It is integrated with Ms. Hecate's body, like a black curtain, spreading in all directions. The bricks and stones under her feet have disappeared, all turned into black skirts connected to the gorgeous robe, covering the entire hall. Strips of black curtains extend in all directions and finally merge into the towering bookshelves.

The books on the bookshelf were changing. They emitted different faint lights and evolved into all kinds of strange scenes. Some emitted black mist, some hovered with illusory shadows, and some squirmed like living things. Then the pages turned, revealing a bloody mouth covered with fine and sharp teeth. Dark red tissues that looked like nodules of flesh and blood spread inside the bookshelf. They tried to erode other books and plunder their knowledge, but were blocked by an invisible force.

One after another, illusory and hazy shadows emerged. They were similar to the banshee servants that Sean had seen before. They had no entity and were busy shuttling between the towering bookshelves.

When Sean saw them, they also saw Sean.

A number of cold, pale, expressionless faces turned towards where Xiao En was. The gray eyes showed no emotion at all, and they just stared at him quietly.

Xiao En seemed to feel a little scared, but the fear was only for a moment and passed away in a flash.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the butcher beside him, and then he couldn't help but be stunned, because he saw a burly creature that didn't seem to be human, with muscles all over his body that were beyond what a human should have. As for the butcher's face, although the other party turned away in an instant, Xiao En still saw a hideous, terrifying and ugly face like that of a beast.

That's not what a human being is supposed to be like!

"Enough." There was a hint of anger in the butcher's voice. Before Sean could react, the blindfold had been put back on his eyes.

The butcher stood up and looked directly at Lady Hecate in front of him. His expression was no longer as respectful as before, but deep, as if he was suppressing his anger. He said in a deep voice: "Madam! He still needs to adapt to everything here."

"Miss!"

"I am his guide!"

Xiao En once again felt the biting chill that he felt when he first met the butcher.

Lady Hecate's eyes were deep. She stared at the butcher in front of her. After a moment of silence, she said, "Ockin, you are doing something stupid again."

"Sooner or later he will see the true nature of this world."

"You can't change anything for a guy who needs confusion to block his inspiration."

The butcher had stood in front of Xiao En without knowing when. His burly figure blocked the view of Lady Hecate in front of him and he said calmly, "That's for the future."

"Now, I am his guide!"

Sean couldn't see Lady Hecate in front of him, but the butcher in front of him gave him the feeling of being on the edge of an abyss.

Before he advanced to the extraordinary level, Xiao En only felt that the Butcher was terrifying, but now he even had difficulty breathing. Even with the mask on, he could feel the air as stagnant as death.

"Let's go." The butcher turned around.

Xiao En couldn't help but gasp for breath. The stagnant air began to flow again and his heartbeat suddenly skyrocketed.

But just as the two turned around.

Ms. Hecate's voice sounded again, and she said faintly: "He can come to my place for three hours every day."

"How much he can learn depends on his talent."

The butcher stopped walking, turned around, and his attitude changed 360 degrees. His expression became respectful again, even a little flattering. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Thank you, ma'am."
