Chapter 1089: Current Progress (1/2)
A few days later, Alex still read everything that might be related to the Array God and his transformation. However, he still couldn't find the exact clue as to where he met the snake.
Lin Xingzhi walked toward the room where Alex spent all his time reading to report what she found along with the others' conditions.
”Alex…” Lin Xingzhi twitched her eyebrows. Alex was sitting in his usual position. Eve also roamed around the area to sort everything that had been sent here. Yet, there was one thing different from the usual situation.
There was another woman hugging him from the back while staring at what he read.
”Sherry. I have never thought that you are here.” Lin Xingzhi shook her head helplessly.
”I just came here. I haven't met him for a long time, isn't this fine?” Sherry pouted, not wanting Lin Xingzhi to get mad.
”It's fine, but what about your job?”
”I have done it all. For now, I am resting because I have used up all my energy.”
”Just inform me first next time, I thought that someone wanted to take advantage of this situation.” Lin Xingzhi sighed.
”Are you talking about me?” Carissa suddenly entered the room while bringing a pile of documents.
”Yeah. Want me to throw you out right now?”
Carissa shrugged and looked down. ”I am bringing these documents. You sure?”
”I am sure.” Lin Xingzhi nodded with a serious face.
”You are just bullying me.” Carissa pouted. When she was about to complain to Alex, Lin Xingzhi already arrived in front of her and grabbed a portion of her luggage, revealing a blue powder scattered on top of the paper.
”Then, can you explain this to me?” Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes.
”Ah.” Carissa's heart skipped a beat before taking a step back. Her eyes looked away and she appeared to want to escape. ”This is not an aphrodisiac; it's just a relaxant. His Majesty has been working for the past few days, so I want him to rest for a while.”
Before Lin Xingzhi replied, Alex already asked another question. ”And your real intention?”
”When you are asleep, I can start kissing you and doing another thing. Of course, I won't do anything excessive since I will die after that.” Carissa stuck her tongue playfully before running away. ”Bye.”
The papers dropped to the ground as Alex used his Spiritual Energy to organize the papers and put it on the desk.
Yeah, this was how their day passed by. Alex only shook his head helplessly before asking Lin Xingzhi. ”How is the situation?”
”We are eighty percent done. I believe everything will end by tomorrow. After that, we will become famous…Or you.”
”Fair enough. I have no doubt that the Spirits can stop talking about it. And there is the Beast Kingdom. The other Divine Worlds would surely learn about this soon.” Alex sighed.
”I have tried to suppress it for a while, but I don't think we can hold on for a week.”
”I understand. How about the specific conditions?”
”If you are talking about the others, Anna and Anya were fighting together with Rilt and Vina. William seems to be accompanying Letizia and Evelyn because of their sword skill. Silvia keeps healing the injured while Alicia and Firia went with Sullivan. Sherry was also with him, but she is here now. As for Rose, she is with Helena right now because she wants to shoot underwater.”
Alex thought for a moment and asked. ”The others are fine, right?”
”Yes. We are suppressing them the whole time and we make sure everything is done painlessly. This is a war that will create a chain of hatred if we don't kill them… It's unfortunate for them, but we can't be too weak-willed.”
”I understand and perfectly know about it. Don't worry. I am ready to shoulder that burden.” Alex waved his hand, telling her he was fine. ”For now, let's continue until everything is over…”
”Alex?” Lin Xingzhi tilted her head when she saw the change of expression on Alex's face.
”Where did the Array God get the inheritance from the former Array God?” Alex asked with a grim expression.
”Why? Did you just find something?” Lin Xingzhi asked while walking toward him, wanting to read what he just read.
”In this journal, Sun Gongming said that his father started to change right after getting the inheritance.”
”Sun Gongming? The Prince?” Lin Xingzhi tilted her head in confusion. ”Do you trust his words?”
Alex closed his eyes for a few seconds, recalling what happened when he killed him. ”His expressions when I killed him was not anguish nor hatred. He was relieved. Unlike his own brother, he seemed to have a hope to make something better. He gave me this space ring containing his research about his father's changing behavior. After reading it for a while, I realize that it's indeed true.”
”I am not sure myself because the place is very secretive, knowing the Array God. However, the Array God and War Goddess died at that time, so I believed they set up their inheritance at the last moment there. Unfortunately, I don't have the information of its specific location.” Lin Xingzhi shook her head in disappointment.
”Do you have any general idea?”
”Yes. Though we need to search a quite big area, including all the words inside it. There are approximately three thousand worlds that need to be checked, so it will take a while.”
”It's fine. Take your time. There is still time for us. At the very least, this one is the closest one we've ever gotten to those so-called weapons.” Alex sighed.
”I understand. With this, we have confirmed the bat, snake, and phoenix's existences.” She nodded. ”I will handle everything at this point and may join the investigation myself.”
”Really?” Alex looked at her with a worried expression.
”Don't worry. It's not going to be like last time.” Lin Xingzhi assured him to not make the same move like last time when she exhausted most of her Spiritual Energy.
”Still…How many people do you think will try to attack us while we are investigating the real cause? It's not like they will believe it and wait for me to grow, right?”
