Chapter 296: Chapter 249: So You’ve Discovered I’m the Mastermind

Carl took a deep breath and then, with a serious expression, narrated,

"I still remember... your description at the time went like this... You and a group of people were in a lifeboat, looking at that enormous cloud, even stretching to the horizon, bringing a storm with raging winds, monstrous waves, and lightning, and you all felt a profound sense of despair. Then... that’s when you encountered a peculiar entity... ’eye.’"

"...Eye?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled, "Do you mean an actual eye? But wasn’t it nameless and formless? How did it turn into an eye?"

"Your account at the time was a bit more detailed," Carl explained. "Moreover, that entity is indeed beyond all ordinary understanding, impossible to compare with any known object in our civilization, except for one thing about it that could be understood, and that was its eye."

"I see," Xiao Yi tried to picture the so-called God in his mind and got a rough idea of it.

Carl continued, "That entity dispersed the clouds, made the sun and moon vanish, and condensed the entire starry sky into a veil, laying it before you in all its splendor. You thought it was the God in heaven answering your prayers, so you felt a sense of worship towards this abnormality and recognized it as God. Then, the entity responded to you, granting you the power to survive... But there were conditions."

"...Conditions?"

"Yes, conditions... your eyes," Carl said. "You had to offer your eyes to receive the power to live from that entity."

"Is... is that so?" Xiao Yi felt somewhat disdainful inside.

He had heard that this God was some transcendent being, and yet, here it was dealing with sacrifices, such a base affair; it seemed to be rather mundane after all.

However, Xiao Yi didn’t express these thoughts, just pondered them quietly; besides, he had more pressing matters on his mind.

Xiao Yi then asked, "You mean a sacrifice of the eyes? Then, logically speaking, my eyes should be gone by now, and I should be blind, right?"

But Carl’s answer was, "That’s not correct. Although you sacrificed your eyes, you also received a new pair of eyes from the entity."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi was surprised, "So, looking at it that way, that so-called unknown God seems quite generous, even giving away eyes for free."

Saying this, Xiao Yi blinked his eyes, feeling that his vision was fine, and apart from seeing hallucinations, there wasn’t anything serious...

"...Hallucinations?" Xiao Yi remembered, someone had said that all the survivors had developed hallucinations; could it be because of the new eyes?

So, Xiao Yi asked Carl,

"Wait! So are you saying my hallucinations are because of these eyes? No...no, that’s not right."

As Xiao Yi spoke, he refuted his own theory.

"On second thought, it can’t be related. The occurrence of hallucinations fundamentally stems from the brain, not the eyeballs. Developing hallucinations from a pair of new eyes is something you’d find in movies or TV shows."

"..." Carl was silent for a moment, then cautioned, "...If it’s related to God, common sense may not always apply."

"Yes, when it concerns God, that indeed makes sense," Xiao Yi considered, letting out a complaint, "...But speaking of which, why not give me eyes that can emit light? Is it not possible, or just not done?"

"Let’s get back to the main issue," Carl said, "This is what you’ve told me about your past experience. So, how about it? Has it jogged your memory?"

"...No," Xiao Yi honestly replied, "I’m still completely clueless. But... speaking of that, are there other stories about that God?"

"There aren’t," Carl shook his head, "That’s the only record, and I don’t think anyone else would know."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi felt puzzled, "In that case, where did Letticia learn about that entity to develop a faith in it? It certainly wasn’t from me... Since there are no records and it didn’t come from me, who could’ve told her?"

"...Who knows?" Carl spread his hands, "You weren’t the only survivor back then, perhaps she just happened to encounter some of them, or maybe one of those people established a religion and faith based on that entity’s help."

"I see..."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, as he began to understand what this so-called secret was about.

It was a secret that was immediately revealed to him, quite obviously important and worth exploring further. And now, Xiao Yi finally knew it.

He had encountered the so-called God before but had forgotten that part of his memory. Moreover... that experience, compared to the things happening in this little town at the moment, Xiao Yi couldn’t help feeling there was a curious connection.

"But then again, the sea?"

Xiao Yi also noticed that it wasn’t the first time he had heard about the sea—it seemed like all sorts of strange, abnormal, and beyond common understanding events originated from that mysterious sea, which humanity had not fully explored to this day.

The foreign object that once descended from the sky onto the sea, which granted the Glor family everything they had now; the island that suddenly appeared and disappeared; the Glor family bringing back rock-like meat from that island; and the deities descending upon the sea...

Looking at the medicine in his hands, Xiao Yi’s thoughts began to wander, pondering the connection between the foreign matter that had descended years ago and the God he encountered at sea, which he had forgotten in his lost memories.
