Chapter 115: Let’s Work Together for Lord Jie Luo’s Full Resurrection
Athena’s eyelids twitched. Ekaterina had also said before that because she was close to Loseweisse, she wasn’t trustworthy. Was there something wrong with Loseweisse?
Loseweisse was the one who loved to cling to Lord Jie Luo, the one who loved to act spoiled in front of the Hero, the one who loved Jie Luo the most!
Of course, Athena felt that her love for Lord Jie Luo was no less than Loseweisse’s.
“Loseweisse seems to be related to the Evil God!”
Athena was horrified. She almost jumped up and screamed.
This was impossible.
Loseweisse was the Saintess of the Holy See! How could she be related to the Evil God? She was so… so… uh…
Athena suddenly remembered the scene she had accidentally seen. Because Sylph was too close to Jie Luo, it angered Loseweisse. The dignified Saintess stood alone in a dark corner, cursing Sylph to die…
It seemed… not entirely impossible.
“Lord Jie Luo, why do you suspect Loseweisse?” Athena asked, puzzled.
She knew Loseweisse’s true face, but Lord Jie Luo definitely didn’t.
After all, this woman was very good at pretending. She always faced Jie Luo with the most innocent and pure appearance.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was a perfect Saintess, elegant, holy, innocent, and cute.
“Jie Luo” took a deep breath, his tone heavy, “Have you met Loseweisse?”
Athena didn’t hide it and nodded.
“Then, did she tell you that she and Karsus killed over a thousand Holy Knights?” “Jie Luo” said in a gloomy voice.
Athena shivered, her face even turning pale.
If it was Karsus who killed over a thousand Holy Knights, Athena wouldn’t be surprised. After all, Karsus gave off the impression that he was the type to go on a killing spree.
But Loseweisse?
She was the Saintess of the Holy See! Why would she do such a thing?
Qin Chu, pretending to be Jie Luo, tapped his forehead, seemingly having a headache. Athena felt that Jie Luo’s aura on this body seemed to have weakened slightly. She cleverly understood that this was probably because Jie Luo’s soul could no longer hold on.
After all, his soul had appeared for too long this time.
But Lord Jie Luo was still enduring, seemingly wanting to tell her more, to prevent her from falling into danger.
Athena was very touched.
“Sigh… Although I can’t control Qin Chu’s body all the time, I can still see everything he sees.”
Qin Chu, impersonating Jie Luo, let out a breath, his black eyes sweeping over the window. Then, he explained the matter of rescuing Benson, of course, concealing Violet’s true identity.
He spoke in a sinister tone:
“When Qin Chu and Ekaterina caught up from behind and arrived at the foot of Mount Cavanyas, they saw over a thousand Holy Knights of the Holy See with their heads severed.”
“In the darkness, countless heads were piled together, forming a bloody altar. Benson’s body was placed at the top of the altar.”
“The ground was a pool of blood.”
“Bonfires burned around, illuminating the hideous and terrifying heads.”
“The pungent smell of blood was nauseating. Karsus knelt beside the altar, seemingly chanting eerie prayers in the howling night wind…”
Qin Chu was very good at setting the mood. Athena couldn’t help but picture a bloody, terrifying, eerie, and strange scene in her mind, following his words. She shivered, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
An altar of heads, a pool of blood, howling night wind, burning bonfires, a strange knight…
Evil God, this was definitely the Evil God.
No normal prayer would result in such a scene.
“Ekaterina and I saw this with our own eyes. Loseweisse begged Qin Chu to keep this matter a secret, on the condition that she would go on a date with him. You know that man Qin Chu, he can’t resist Loseweisse’s invitation for a date.”
Ninety percent of his words were true, but this was enough to guide Athena.
“But this matter will be exposed sooner or later. Augustus will soon know about it.”
As for promising Loseweisse to keep this matter a secret… It didn’t matter at all. It was Jie Luo who told Athena, what did it have to do with him, Qin Chu?
As for how Augustus would know? Obviously, someone would tell him.
Athena finally understood why Ekaterina said that she was close to Loseweisse and wasn’t trustworthy!
After seeing such a scene, even if she agreed to help conceal it for the sake of being a fellow Hero Squad member, it was normal to have doubts.
“They… Why would they do this?” Athena couldn’t understand. Karsus was one thing, but Loseweisse was the Saintess of the Holy See! Why would she dabble in the power of the Evil God?
“I don’t know,” Qin Chu shook his head silently.
Then, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and his face turned pale.
Athena knew that Qin Chu’s consciousness was returning. Her eyes were filled with reluctance.
“Little Athena, leave quickly. Otherwise, that bastard Qin Chu will definitely not let you go. Go quickly…” Qin Chu, impersonating Jie Luo, said in a low and suppressed voice, his fingers trembling violently.
“Lord Jie Luo, is there… anything else you want me to do?” Athena asked quickly, knowing that time was running out.
“Soul fragments, my soul fragments…” Jie Luo’s voice was hoarse, as if he was using his last bit of strength to let out a low roar.
Soul fragments, she remembered.
Athena, with tears in her eyes, finally got out of bed. She kissed Qin Chu on the lips, quickly put on her mage robe, and then looked at the suffering Lord Jie Luo at the door with reluctance, leaving with tears in her eyes.
After Athena left, Qin Chu’s finger twitched slightly, setting up an illusion in the room. The Eye of True Sight couldn’t see through illusions.
The real Qin Chu immediately returned to normal, stretching his body vigorously. He had been really busy today.
Even though Qin Chu had good stamina, he still felt a little tired, his back aching.
He thought to himself, maybe he should go to the herbal market tomorrow and see if he could buy some Moonflowers… Of course, he was only buying them for tea, definitely not for any other reason.
…
After leaving Qin Chu’s room, Athena suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to remove the Eye of True Sight from his bedroom.
If it was just Qin Chu, she could monitor him without any scruples. But there was also Lord Jie Luo’s remnant soul in Qin Chu’s body, so it wasn’t appropriate to monitor him like this.
But it was too late to go back and remove it.
Through the Eye of True Sight, Athena saw that Qin Chu had stopped moving. A few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head with a jolt, a puzzled expression on his face.
Athena seemed to hear Qin Chu’s voice: Huh? Where did Athena go?
Seeing Qin Chu start searching the room and even about to push open the door and rush out, Athena quickly sped up her pace, limping towards the exit of the residence.
It hurts!
Athena’s lips trembled slightly.
It was her precious first time, and she had wanted to cherish it with her beloved Lord Jie Luo. Who would have thought it would end up so awkward?
It was all that damned Qin Chu’s fault.
As soon as Athena left the residence, she saw a tall figure standing under a streetlight in the distance, arms crossed, leaning against the lamppost. It was Ekaterina. She seemed to be waiting for her.
Athena frowned and dragged her tired body towards Ekaterina.
Hearing the footsteps, Ekaterina looked up and glanced at Athena. Just by looking at her walking posture, Ekaterina knew what had happened.
This damned vixen, she actually seduced the master.
There was a hint of unconcealed hostility in her eyes.
But in Athena’s eyes, that hostility was just Ekaterina’s dissatisfaction with her breaking her monopoly on Lord Jie Luo.
“It seems you’ve also become a real woman,” Ekaterina said sarcastically.
“Are you unhappy?” Athena raised an eyebrow, meeting her gaze head-on.
“How could I be? Although I don’t want Jie Luo to have many women around him, at least our goal is the same now, which is to resurrect Jie Luo as soon as possible.”
“For this goal, I can even cooperate with you,” Ekaterina snorted.
Athena lowered her eyelids, “All our sacrifices are for Jie Luo.”
After a pause, Athena spoke again, “Then, should we inform the others about the original Hero Squad’s plan and tell them to abandon it? For now, we should just focus on finding Jie Luo’s soul fragments…”
“No.” Before she could finish her sentence, Ekaterina interrupted her, “Jie Luo didn’t suspect that there were people in the Hero Squad who were plotting against him, but I’m not so sure.”
“I’m definitely not a problem. After all, if I was the one who killed Jie Luo, I would have had plenty of opportunities to do it these past few days.”
Athena nodded, agreeing that Ekaterina wasn’t the traitor.
“You’re not a problem either. After all, you didn’t make a move even when you had such a good opportunity just now.”
“But I don’t trust the others. Lord Jie Luo didn’t tell you, right? Before, when Karsus and Loseweisse were preparing the altar of heads, we discovered them, and Karsus immediately attacked Qin Chu… But who can guarantee that the attack was only aimed at Qin Chu, and not at the remnant soul of Jie Luo in his body?” Ekaterina said in a low voice.
Athena’s pupils constricted slightly. Karsus attacked Qin Chu?
Lord Jie Luo didn’t tell her about this… Ah, it must be because Lord Jie Luo didn’t want to suspect his former teammates. Even after being framed and killed, his soul was still so gentle.
“If we stop the plan now, we will definitely be questioned about what happened. Are you going to tell them that Lord Jie Luo’s remnant soul has already awakened?”
“If the murderer from before finds out about this, what do you think he will do?”
Athena’s eyes returned to normal. She turned to look at Ekaterina, seemingly surprised that this woman, who usually didn’t like to use her brain, could be so intelligent at times.
She was also at fault. Because of the sudden encounter with Lord Jie Luo, her mind was a little muddled.
She shook her head, telling herself that this wouldn’t do. She couldn’t be worse than Ekaterina.
“I understand… So, for now, it’s just the two of us cooperating?” Athena suddenly chuckled.
“That’s right. Of course, when facing the other members of the Hero Squad, you have to be careful not to reveal any flaws,” Ekaterina said seriously.
“You too.”
“Hehe, that damned Qin Chu, he will pay for his actions sooner or later. He doesn’t even know that Lord Jie Luo’s remnant soul has entered his body. The moment Lord Jie Luo fully awakens will be Qin Chu’s death!”
Ekaterina said in a cold voice, her eyes fierce.
Sob, sob, sob, it was all because the master forced her to say these things. She really didn’t want to say them. This was blasphemy against the master. She hoped the master wouldn’t blame her for it.
Ekaterina prayed.
Athena looked at Ekaterina clenching her fists, her body trembling slightly, and sighed softly. It seemed that Ekaterina’s hatred for Qin Chu was really deep.
“You must not lose control and rush to kill Qin Chu. If Qin Chu dies, Lord Jie Luo will die too,” Athena warned.
“I understand…” Ekaterina took a deep breath, suppressing her trembling body. A smile slowly appeared on her face, “I will definitely not kill him.”
“I’ve always been alone, and now I finally have a companion. So, can I consider you my good sister?”
Athena’s smile was equally charming:
“Of course, Sister Ekaterina.”
“Let’s work together for Lord Jie Luo’s full resurrection!”
