Chapter 978: Chapter 891: Fallen Star

"Cough—can we reconcile?"

In the Garbage Disposal Plant’s office, a man in a white lab coat crawled on the ground, his bending right hand as dry as straw, the veins clearly visible on the back of his hand.

This senior human artist no longer possessed his usual composure and grace; at this moment, each breath he took depleted his strength, making it clear to him that his life was slowly ebbing away.

He could feel his body aging rapidly, and everything was due to the person before him.

"I have money, lots and lots of money, just let me return to my original form..."

"Why were you looking for Lu Xiang?"

Song Lan ignored the man’s bargaining and asked.

"Would telling you save my life?"

The man hastily asked.

"No, although this won’t save your life, it could make your journey to the underworld easier. Scarface should not have gone far; if you leave now, you could accompany him."

"Go, go to hell! The Brotherhood will not let you off!"

The man’s face twisted as he spat out venomous words similar to those Scarface had used, but even he knew those words wouldn’t deter the other party. This time, the Brotherhood could no longer provide solid support for them.

But he didn’t understand, since the other party had decided to kill him from the start, why waste words and ask so many questions.

Could it be this guy is foolish enough to believe that knowing his inevitable death, he would still betray the Brotherhood?

"In Oasis City, no one dares to betray the Brotherhood."

The man, already resigned to his fate, widened his eyes in shock once more, struggling to lift his head, as if he wanted to forever imprint this face in his pupils.

The uninvited guest before him saw through his inner thoughts and directly voiced what he was thinking.

"The Brotherhood knows your family’s address. Once they find out you betrayed them, everyone important to you will die in the streets."

Song Lan decided to weigh the man before him. If he bravely died at his own hands, the Brotherhood would provide a pension to his family, adding to the man’s savings over the years, which should be enough to support his family for the latter half of their lives.

That is, if they weren’t targeted by enemies.

"As a parting gift, let me answer the question you just had."

Song Lan said, "Reading someone’s memory is like flipping through a book; starting from the beginning would consume too much unnecessary time."

Especially since the man was the head of the Garbage Disposal Plant, his mind filled with images detrimental to mental and physical health. He did not want to sift through countless restricted images to find the information he needed, "The moment you hear the question, your subconscious will open the page where the answer is recorded for me."

The two men looked at each other.

"That’s right, just as you are thinking now, whether or not you answer, I have already got the answer; the archaeologist was sent to the capital of Oasis, how fascinating, the God of Life actually prophesied the name of a person from District Seventeen."

...

"Why am I not surprised at all?"

"Nothingness" glanced at the now lifeless man and casually spoke.

Their old friend had mentioned Lu Xiang’s name in the prophecy, which was very "fascinating."

A prophecy was their usual means of communicating with believers, but also one of Song Lan’s contributions to the upper world. The traditional "Whisper" method of transmitting orders was too inefficient and many beings of the upper world wanted to maintain a sense of mystery, which often led to misunderstandings of orders.

To avoid misinterpretations, "Scientist" Song Lan proposed a method of conveying information and commands through images and text.

In the eyes of their followers, a prophecy was equivalent to fate.

And now, the prophecy transmitted by their old friend coincidentally pointed to a District Seventeen Law Enforcer who should have never met her.

Lately, "Nothingness" felt that he had encountered too many "coincidences."

"Hasn’t your girlfriend ever mentioned her past to you?"

This wasn’t the first time Song Lan had heard this question.

The last person to ask him had been Mr. Dorago Safron, and unfortunately, Mr. Safron had passed away young before getting the answer to this question.

All of Lu Xiang’s past was nearly recorded within the Morning Star Academy, and the last time they returned to the academy, Lu Xiang had told him that she had been there since the day she began her memories.

The dean had only vaguely mentioned her status as a war orphan.

"The Brotherhood is trying to study this power; there will soon be fun to watch."

"Nothingness" mischievously patted Song Lan’s shoulder, "I understand you; sometimes, memories are not necessarily a good thing."

He suddenly grew curious if making their old friend recall someone burning their house and destroying everyone’s home would cause him to fly into a rage and make the culprit scrub laundry on a washboard in frustration?

With that thought, "Nothingness" felt much more balanced in his mood that had been taken over entirely by Song Lan’s part.

"Go back and pack up, prepare to set off for the capital of Oasis."

As "Nothingness" spoke, the image of Lu Xiang looking angry involuntarily surfaced in Song Lan’s mind, immediately making him feel uneasy.
