They had heard the female voice, which was hollow and ethereal, more than once. Hao Ren turned around. A woman was standing less than five meters away from him, wearing a long white dress. It was the kind of costume that upper-class women commonly wore two centuries ago. She had light brown curly hair, which she tied into a bun with two angel wings hanging down from behind her ears to her chest. Undoubtedly, the woman looked elegant and dignified with an aristocratic temperament, just as Hao Ren had seen in the portrait.

For a moment, Hao Ren’s gaze stayed on the woman, whose body’s edges were dithering slightly and translucent. Based on the information he had mastered, she was a ghost.

She was also undoubtedly the ghost that had warned them repeatedly.

“Here you are. You finally show up!” Hao Ren looked at the woman not far away. “I thought you will continue to watch from the sidelines.”

“You’re mistaken. It’s not that I finally show up, but you finally show up at my place.” The female ghost said coldly; she had an ethereal voice. “I didn’t expect you to come this far. Few could reach this dimension. Who are you guys?”

Hao Ren could not help but think of the little Malevolence in the bottle. It was only after the restlessness of the little Malevolence that the dimension started to deflect, and he and this team were able to enter this other realm. It is difficult to explain how a noobie possessed that ability, but what happened surely had something to do with the little guy.

Hao Ren could not explain this thing to the ghost, though. “We have our means,” he said.

The female ghost seemed to have no interest in this subject. Looking curiously at Hao Ren, she asked, “Why are you here? I can feel that you have a strong sense of mission; not for treasure, not for the knowledge of magic, and not for the sake of curiosity. Many had come before, but they were invariably after these three things. So what’s yours?”

“We’re here for Hercules.” Hesperides stepped forward. “We are looking for the divine artifact that he has taken.”

“Ahh, the worst of all the bad answers,” the ghost sighed. “You are looking for the most dangerous thing. I couldn’t believe that there are still people chasing after it—”

Hao Ren waved his hand, interrupting the ghost. “Wait a minute. You had better not to rush to the conclusion but first understand who we are. The one who was speaking just now was one of the survivors from the Olympian family, Hesperides.”

“A descendant of the Olympians?” There was finally an expression on the ghost’s face. “Why? Why has the survivor of the fallen Olympus suddenly come for Hercules and the divine artifact?”

“It’s not me, but my friend.” Hesperides pointed at Vivian. “Do you know who she is?”

The ghost looked at Vivian for a while and then shook her head. “I don’t know her. Even if I have known her before, I cannot recall now. Ahh, I have been dead for more than two centuries, and there are not many things I could remember now.”

“Vivian Ancestor, the oldest otherworldling; you should have some impression by now,” Vivian said faintly with a vibe of the elder. “The divine artifact, I suspect, has stolen my part of my power. I found out this from the records of the demon hunters and traced it until here. But now it seems that this thing is far more complicated than I have imagined.”

“The Countess of the Crimson Moon?” The ghost indeed remembered this ostentatious epithet. “Did you say that you found the record from the demon-hunters’ files? How is that possible? That information should be in Coldpath.”

Hao Ren cleared her throat and said, “We have gone to Coldpath multiple times. The outside world has undergone great changes. The war between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings has just ended. We have found the root cause of innate hostility and killing instinct and completely removed this curse. Ahh, this is not the right time to talk about this. If you would like to know more, we can explain it slowly later. Now, please tell us about this place.”
