Chapter 218: Chapter 207: The Beastly Detective Emily_2

There’s nothing around, no shells or crabs on the beach, no fishing village or city in the distance, and no seagulls or terns in the sky.

The ocean tides come and go, as if time has lost its meaning.

Just as Alice felt her tiny self about to melt away here, a familiar voice suddenly called from behind her.

"Alice?"

Alice turned around abruptly and smiled happily.

"Brother!"

"Alice, why are you here?"

Lette looked at his familiar sister in front of him: "It’s dangerous here!"

"Brother, we were so worried about you!"

Alice quickly told Lette what had just happened, and he listened, deep in thought.

"So that’s what it looks like from outside. Sorry to make you worry, I’m fine.

I was pulled into this consciousness space of an unknown entity because of a token.

I didn’t expect such a big commotion outside.

Alright, let’s go back first."

Lette placed his hand on Alice’s head, and both of their visions went dark, their consciousness returning to their bodies.

Alice rubbed her eyes as she awoke, and Emily gently brushed the dust off her.

The mist around Lette quickly dissipated, and the power of lies returned to Pinocchio’s body.

Under the concerned watch of everyone present, Lette opened his eyes, sat up, and gave an awkward smile.

"I’m sorry for the trouble, everyone. Don’t worry, I’m alright. It’s all... this thing’s fault."

Lette said, taking out a blue gemstone. It was a gift from an old man at the entrance of the fishing village.

Joanna leaned in and cast Holy Light Guardian over him, one after another.

Seeing this, Lette took hold of her hands: "Alright, it’s all fine now."

Lilith, annoyed, came up and kicked him a couple of times: "You just had to scare us half to death, didn’t you?"

Lette grabbed her hand too: "I didn’t mean it. Ever since I got this thing, I’ve been studying it.

There seems to be an indescribable power inside, but I just don’t know how to use it.

I don’t know what happened today, it suddenly activated.

I was suddenly in a vast consciousness space and couldn’t resist exploring a bit.

I didn’t expect such an exaggerated display outside!"

Lette stood up and bowed deeply to everyone: "Sorry for alarming everyone! I’m really sorry!"

The Liar Demon quickly jumped to the side: "Not me, the cunning old me wouldn’t be scared!

But that gemstone of yours sure looks pretty! I’m not interested, but can I have a look?

Though I’m not interested!"

With a whoosh, his nose grew long.

Lette didn’t mind and tossed the blue gemstone over.

"It’s unknown, but it’s just an empty shell."

The Liar Demon clumsily caught it, shaking the gemstone angrily.

"Even if you’re the boss, this is too much! This is an indescribable pass!

Holding someone else’s pass won’t get you through the gate."

Lette held Lilith and Joanna’s hands, laughing: "But the extreme nature of the concept inside is quite informative.

By the way, Pino, is this what you came to this world to find?"

"What? No, no."

"Huh? Didn’t you say you’re looking for the remnant of a Conceptual Master who advanced to indescribable?

This..."

"What I’m looking for is False Speech."

Pinocchio picked up the gemstone, examining it: "False Speech is my advanced form. Or rather, it’s the expanded version of my concept.

Finding its remnant means I’ll be able to directly use its path to advancement.

This unknown remnant is useless to both you and Lilith, and to me as well."

Lette’s eyes widened: "In this world, there are actually more than one indescribable being?"

Lies set down the blue gemstone and nodded seriously: "It seems so."

"Lette."

Lilith looked at him expectantly: "What did you see in the opponent’s consciousness space?"

"How to put it, it’s like... there’s this feeling of an empty place."

Lette released their hands and then gestured in the air: "It’s like, it’s like there’s a house that’s been lived in for a long time.

Then suddenly one day, the original owner moved out, taking all useful things with them.

What was left was scattered all over the place, or just left as is.

But even so, you can still infer some things from the usage marks in the house, the room layout, and other small clues.

For instance, the original owner’s habits, preferences, taboos, and so on...

You might even find little notes left by the original owner in some places.

Valuable, but not very much so."

Alice nodded in agreement: "It really felt empty there... not that there was nothing, but it just felt empty.

Too profound, I still can’t comprehend it."

For the girls, these matters were too profound. Even Joanna was not yet complete in the Law.

Only Lilith seemed to gain some insight after listening.

"People always say that the transformation from the indescribable cocoon to the unknowable breakthrough is a metamorphosis.

So could it be possible that transitioning from a concept to indescribable is also a metamorphosis?

Like moving out from an old house."

Lette showed no particular interest: "As for that, I’m not too interested. Because in my exploration just now, I felt another presence.

Oh, I’m not talking about Alice.

The other party should have sensed me too, so they deliberately avoided me.

I spent most of the time trying to catch this guy, but unfortunately didn’t succeed.

Otherwise, I would have woken up sooner.

Later, when Alice came, I feared that guy would pose a threat to Alice, so I took her and left."

"I get it!"

Emily suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

"This blue gemstone, there may be more than one! Lette hasn’t found out how to use the blue gemstone, but another guy did.

He used the blue gemstone to enter that consciousness space.

At the same time, it resonated with Lette’s gemstone, pulling him into the consciousness space as well.

Lette was passive!

I bet that guy didn’t know Lette also had a gemstone in his hand, so he was shocked.

Plus, he probably has an unspeakable secret!

That’s why he avoided Lette!"

Joanna looked at Emily with a slightly surprised expression: "Emily, your intuition is really... kind of amazing."

Although Lette wasn’t witnessing Emily’s fluctuating intelligence for the first time, he couldn’t help but look at her.

"So who do you think that guy is?"

"How would I know? Even if my intuition is really accurate, I can’t foresee the future!

But!"

Emily raised a finger: "I think that guy must be related to the Sea Clan!"

Unica, seeing Emily’s confident demeanor, timidly asked.

"Is this... part of your intuition too?"

"No! It’s deduction! It’s the deduction of the Chief Detective of Kedrus Harbor City, Detective Emily!"

With everyone’s attention on her, Emily couldn’t help but feel a bit elated.

"Do you all remember? Gretel said that even among the Sea Clan, the songs of Hegro Fishing Village are known.

Beyond the mountains and the sea, there’s a little fishing village, where the people are kind and pure-hearted.

But we’ve now learned it’s a village twisted by lies.

What’s actually going on with Hegro Fishing Village, with its long history and the vast time ruled by the Sea Clan, there’s no way they don’t know.

Even if ordinary Sea Clan members don’t know, if the Sea Emperor Clan doesn’t know either, isn’t that a bit odd?

I think some information may have been altered a long time ago by someone with a motive.

The purpose of doing so was to prevent anyone from the Sea Clan from bothering the little fishing village.

Whether the Sea Clan dares to offend a village cursed by the sea is unknown, but they probably wouldn’t dare to provoke a village blessed by the sea.

By doing this, that person prevents anyone else from obtaining other blue gemstones or similar tokens.

To ensure that they alone can enjoy that consciousness space."
