Life Game In Other World-Chapter 1664: The Archbishop’s Condition

"Oh, Estella, have your methods of humiliation actually improved?" The figure floating in the pillar calmly gazed at He Ao’s silhouette, the hazy mist violently quivering, and a thunderous voice echoed through the void with a certain trembling. "You actually thought of letting a wet-behind-the-ears youngster interrogate me."

As soon as his voice fell, his body suddenly moved forward, crashing into the gap between the stone pillars in front of him. "I admit, your humiliation is somewhat interesting."

Boom—

Accompanied by the deafening sound of rolling thunder, the surrounding land and wilderness seemed to tremble at this moment.

Brilliant green radiance flashed like lightning on the stone pillars, rapidly flowing and bursting forth with a dazzling glow that almost filled the entire field of view.

He Ao’s body began to sway with the trembling earth.

"Enough, Vestan." Estella calmly watched everything, and softly spoke.

As if her words created reality, countless rays of light shot out from the stone pillars, then converged into two radiant chains in the middle of the pillars, instantly wrapping around Vestan’s hands, anchoring his entire body within the stone pillars.

Trapped in the cage, Vestan tried to break free from the radiant control, shaking with the two radiant chains, but never completely freeing himself from them.

Seeing this, Estella gently continued, "Scaring a child isn’t a good deed."

"Sigh," Vestan lowered his head, his previously fierce expression instantly softened, now gentle like a venerable elder.

He slightly waved his hand, the radiant chains binding him slowly loosened, as if a scarf wrapped around his hands, he lowered his gaze, quietly looking at He Ao, smiling, "Estella, don’t you think this child is a bit too ’stable’?"

His eyes gazed at He Ao’s calm demeanor, those green glowing pupils deep like the abyss, he chuckled, "You are Loren, aren’t you?"

"Yes." He Ao calmly looked at him, his expression unchanged.

Beside him, Estella glanced at He Ao and again slightly stepped aside, suggesting He Ao continue to ’dialogue’ with Vestan.

During the retreat, she casually remarked, "Vestan is very sensitive to emotions and thoughts, don’t let him provoke your emotions."

She only spoke to He Ao, not responding to Vestan’s earlier ’question,’ as if she hadn’t heard it at all.

"Alright! Alright!" Vestan retracted his hand and sighed helplessly.

He looked at He Ao and suddenly smiled again, "So, my dear little friend, how exactly did you escape from the outskirts of Sky City?"

"Shouldn’t the one questioning be you, Mr. Vestan?" He Ao did not answer his question but directly retorted.

With those words, the control of the dialogue gradually slipped out of his hands.

"Interesting little friend," Vestan leaned back slightly, showing a look of helplessness, "Then what do you want to ask me?"

"Future Building," He Ao stated calmly and directly, "I want to know why you created the anomaly at Future Building, why did you perform the ’sacrifice’?"

"Interesting notion," Vestan smiled at He Ao, "But the collapse of Future Building actually has little to do with me, it wasn’t me who pushed it down, just greedy hearts. If you insist I did anything, I merely lent the farmer a hoe, making it easier for him to complete his work. Can that really be considered wrong?"

"So you created the anomaly at Future Building on a whim?" He Ao immediately followed up with another question.

"Future Building anomaly, are you curious about this thing? Does it exist?" Vestan smiled, gazing at He Ao, "Using preconceived questions to bluff the interrogated, such an old-fashioned trick, little friend, I have never said—Future Building has anomalies."

He raised his hands and laughed, "But I must say, kids these days truly have a rich imagination."

"Future Building indeed has anomalies, we all know that," He Ao quietly gazed at Vestan, "And the anomaly at Future Building is the core of your plan."

"You have stolen the power of the anomaly through some means, yourself shaping the anomaly at Future Building. The core of this anomaly is not just those victimized, but also their direct relatives and anyone with strong mystic connections to the victims."

"I have seen the list of Future Building victims, not only in Xiluo City, I’m afraid you arranged similar anomalies in orphanages in other cities in the Northeast."

"You are laying out a mysticism ritual," He Ao gazed at Vestan, his eyes flashing with green light, "A mysticism ritual covering the entire Northeast."

"Interesting deduction," Vestan accepted He Ao’s words, shrugged, and helplessly said, "I wish I were as powerful and cunning as you say, then I wouldn’t be here, locked in by these broken stone pillars, being pointed at enthusiastically by a little friend like you."

He completely avoided answering He Ao’s question, bypassing the core issue.

He also realized He Ao’s words were all speculative, lacking core evidence.

He Ao sighed at Vestan’s words, directly spreading his hands, "You old monsters have too many tricks, it’s really hard to say."

This gesture actually startled Vestan slightly, then he laughed, "Interesting little friend, I somewhat regret attempting to kill you with Sky City’s advent earlier, I should have met you first, then killed you."

"Aren’t we meeting now?" He Ao shrugged, casually saying, "I still prefer this feeling of you being in jail while I’m out."

Vestan laughed heartily, looking at He Ao, "Interesting little fellow, if I get a chance to come out, I’ll definitely make you into a living specimen."

"That’s really unnecessary," He Ao shrugged, gazing at Vestan, smiling, "Seems like you’re quite confident you can get out?"

Beside them, Estella, who had been quiet, slightly lifted her gaze.

"Oh ho, interesting little friend," Vestan shrugged, spread his hands, and laughed, "I’ll definitely get out, Estella can’t contain me. She knows very well, she can’t kill me, only imprison me, and the power of anomalies will always aid me, until the day of true anomaly advent arrives."

The tone was calm, the voice carried a certain hoarse rhythm, and in the slow language, it seemed to have some alluring tune, "We all know, anomalies will eventually descend upon this world, like the sun rising from the east, the ocean surging the tide, like stars attracting each other."

This sound carried a certain deadly magic, naturally leading people to yearn, anticipate, pursue...

The invisible barrier standing before He Ao flickered intensely, as if some unseen force was penetrating the barrier, infiltrating behind it, seeping into the hearts of those behind the barrier.

"Uh, interrupting for a second," He Ao slightly raised his hand, "The sun doesn’t necessarily rise from the east, our Earth rotates from west to east, some planets rotate differently, it rises from the west, and on some planets without a sun, it doesn’t rise at all."

Hearing this, Vestan’s words paused, then he was slightly stunned, "Is... is that so?"

"Yes," He Ao looked at Vestan with some confusion and slightly nodded, "This planetary rotation concept is taught in elementary science books, very basic astronomy knowledge."

The Federation’s astronomical literacy is actually not bad, just lacking the technological trees of rockets and satellites.

"Pfft—" Beside them, Estella couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"What’re you laughing at?" Vestan turned his head to look at Estella, "Did you know? Aren’t you also illiterate?"

Estella’s smile froze.

She coughed lightly, "At that time, we didn’t learn this at all. We were all taught killing, cultivation, none of this stuff."

"Ha, illiterate," Vestan sneered.

Estella slightly clenched her hand, and in an instant, brilliant light enveloped Vestan’s body, covering him completely and pulling him in every direction.

"Ahem—" He Ao coughed lightly, looking at Vestan, and asked softly, "How about we get back to the main topic?"

"Alright, it seems you do have some resistance, little one," Vestan squinted his eyes, gazing at He Ao.

He was referring to how He Ao wasn’t affected by him just now and was even able to respond with a question.

"Isn’t that quite obvious?" He Ao said naturally, "Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

Vestan seemed momentarily stunned by He Ao’s straightforward admission, then looked at He Ao and laughed again, "You’re really an interesting little guy."

His gaze narrowed slightly, "Since you’ve come this far, you should know you won’t get any answers from me, right?"

"Not necessarily," He Ao smiled, "I’m very curious, why can’t you win? Logically speaking, you’ve lost human recognition, in terms of pure strength, you should be stronger."

Estella also raised her head and looked at Vestan, seemingly pondering this question as well.

"Because I didn’t lose," Vestan said with a smile, looking at He Ao, "I said, the abnormal will eventually come. The current binding is not permanent, and I will eventually leave."

He Ao quietly gazed at Vestan.

Avoided this question.

Is his strength at least not weaker than Estella’s?

Based on his previous speech style, he should have directly admitted that he was weaker than Estella’s, thereby directly negating He Ao’s conjecture.

Does he refuse to admit he’s weaker than Estella, or is it a smokescreen to confuse the ’smart people’?

It’s really not easy dealing with the Old Geezer.

He Ao raised his eyes, gazing at Vestan’s body.

Over that magnificent body, a faint shadow lingered, which belonged to the soul’s shadow.

The fierce pollution continuously echoed in He Ao’s mind.

The other party is an angel, he couldn’t probe the other’s mind, but he could vaguely see the other’s soul through the power of Super Memory.

The barrier Estella set could only block out physical gaze, but for the probing of the soul, it would still invite the spread of pollution.

That pollution had actually always been impacting He Ao’s consciousness, but he kept suppressing it.

Normally, such simple ’Spiritual Sight’ wouldn’t reveal much, but Vestan’s state was somewhat abnormal.

He Ao had seen truly insane angels before, like the King Angel in the ruins. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

These angels’ enormous souls were also attached to the body, but their souls were solid and twisted, seemingly merging with the entire Mythical Form.

But Vestan’s soul at the moment seemed thin, like an ordinary soul, even thinner than a normal soul.

This didn’t match his frenzied state.

"So, little one," Vestan looked at He Ao gazing at him, slightly bent down, hand on the stone pillar, slowly approaching He Ao, "Is your question finished?"

It was only now that He Ao suddenly realized that the brilliant light chains entwining Vestan had already snapped at some point, and even the light among the stone pillars had dimmed considerably.

Only this huge and terrifying twisted figure remained, slowly moving forward, cheek pressed against the light barrier between the stone pillars, its whole head inching closer to He Ao.

The invisible barrier standing before He Ao had somehow been torn open with a rift.

He was so close to He Ao.

As if in the next instant, he could open his mouth and swallow He Ao whole.

The immense cheek came close to He Ao, smiling, "See, I told you, we can meet first, then kill you."

He Ao’s body tensed up, gazing at the approaching massive shadow.

Bang—

A thunderous sound rang out once more between heaven and earth, chains of light wrapped around that immense body in an instant, with tremendous force pulling him back between the stone pillars.

Brilliant green light reconnected between the stone pillars, and the hazy mist spread out once again.

"Hahaha, Estella, you can’t control me, you know," the voice filled with madness echoed out from behind the mist, "The abnormal will eventually fully come, all your efforts are purely in vain."

The thick mist completely concealed the gaps between the stone pillars, even engulfing the stone pillars that pierced through heaven and earth, plunging the entire area into mist.

"Are you alright?" Estella turned her head, looking at He Ao.

"I’m fine, I’m fine." He Ao gasped, shaking his head.

At the closest moment, Vestan almost touched him.

"You’ve conversed with him too much, allowing him to find a way around the seal," Estella shook her head beside him, speaking softly, "Did you get any information?"

"I’m not too sure either," He Ao shook his head slightly, looking at Estella, "It still needs to be verified in detail,"

He paused slightly, speaking softly, "But I do have another question, director, has the abnormal always been present in this land?"
