Turbulent Situation and Its Outcome

With Ciel's explanation, Fang Li gradually understood what the current situation was.

In short, the world is in complete chaos.

The world is truly in chaos.

That's only natural.

In just one night, a city was suddenly engulfed in flames, and all its residents became victims, facing despair and lamentation in that night.

Roa's scheme in Misaki City turned the entire Misaki City into a Demon Den.

The dead attack the living.

The living become the dead.

Ultimately, in just one night, more than half of the residents of Misaki City perished, all becoming corpses of the perpetrators.

Of the remaining less than half, more than half were barely protected thanks to the desperate resistance of the Tohno family and the Non-Human Clan under their command.

In other words, if the Tohno family and its many Non-Human Clan did not exist in this city, it would probably have become a dead city overnight.

After Roa's death, the otherworldly transformation of Misaki City was lifted, and all the magic arrays imprinted in every corner of the city were shattered, leaving not a single one.

Under such circumstances, those hastily created dead also all vanished into thin air.

Thus, Misaki City was not completely overrun.

Although the remaining survivors are now less than half of the original population.

"In addition, Roa did not carry out any covert work. What happened in Misaki City last night caused the greatest panic, plunging the remaining residents into a great commotion. The city turning into a sea of fire and the fleeting Moon Fall event attracted the most attention. It is said that even the national army was dispatched."

Ciel explained it this way.

"I notified the church overnight, and together with the nearby rescue team, we managed to set up a barrier around Misaki City before dawn, preventing outsiders from avoiding the city or even finding it. Everyone in the city was also hypnotized by the barrier and is now in a semi-conscious state."

As he said this, exhaustion was evident in Ciel's eyes.

That's proof of working hard all night.

"No matter what, nothing that happens in Misaki City can be leaked, otherwise it will cause unimaginable impact on modern society."

Ciel added further explanation.

"Neither the church nor the association wants to see this."

Mystery is something that needs to be concealed.

This is the most frequently mentioned law in the world of magic.

Mystery is mysterious. If it becomes known to the world and is no longer a secret, then it is no longer mysterious.

In this era of continuous technological advancement, as people learn more and more, and even the universe is no longer a secret, mystery is inversely diminishing.

Once the mystery is known to the world, perhaps the world will no longer have mystery.

This is something that both the church and the association hope to avoid.

"Therefore, the church and the association are prepared to work together to cover up what happened last night."

"Next, the church and the association will work together behind the scenes to turn this incident into a natural disaster before announcing it to the public. Ordinary residents in the city will also have to be suggested and hypnotized to replace this memory with the corresponding part. It is estimated that it will take at least ten days to half a month to complete this."

That is why the Tohno family is currently negotiating with the church and association.

As a mysterious Non-Human Clan, both the church and the association hope that the Tohno family, a modern-day large conglomerate, can assist them in their work.

It seems that Tohno Akiha had already made plans for this part.

So, apart from Tohno Shiki being kept in the dark due to Tohno Akiha's personal reasons, everything else should proceed smoothly.

This is the current situation.

As for Fang Li, being the central figure, he was responsible for providing all the explanations at Ciel's personal request.

"By the way, because of this incident, the church and the association are aware of your existence, that you are the last survivor of the Seven Nights Clan, and that you have eyes."

Ciel turned his gaze directly to Fang Li and spoke.

"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, I never expected you to possess such a miracle from the Age of Gods. Not to mention the people of the Church, the Magus in the Association are all gleaming with envy. If it weren't for the fact that you killed Nero and Roa one after another, they would probably be imprisoned in the basement by now, right?"

Of course, there was one more thing that Ciel didn't tell Fang Li.

That is, Tohno Shiki's possession of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception was also exposed.

After escaping the Tohno family, Tohno Shiki and his group still encountered an attack with a large number of dead.

To protect Tohno Akiha and her group, Tohno Shiki disregarded the strain on his brain and forcibly used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, fighting all night and almost being burned into an idiot.

Tohno Shiki is still lying in bed and has not woken up.

However, the fact that Tohno Shiki possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can no longer be hidden.

That's why Tohno Akiha accepted the church and association's request for assistance. What the two sides were doing was not a friendly conversation, but a real verbal battle. If they were not careful, one of them would be devoured.

However, Fang Li believed that with Tohno Akiha's abilities, she would not suffer any losses in front of the church and the association, and in the end, they should be able to reach a conclusion.

Therefore, only one question remains.

"You said you were the one who brought me back, right?"

Fang Li asked bluntly.

"So, where did Arcueid go?"

Silence descended once again.

However, this time it didn't last long.

After a long pause, Ciel answered softly.

"The True Ancestor has returned to the Millennium Castle."

Fang Li's eyes suddenly narrowed.

————"Millennium Castle".

Fang Li had heard of this name before.

That was Arcueid's castle, located in a place inaccessible to humans, and also the cage Arcueid used to slumber for eight hundred years.

In the world that Arcueid Conceptual Materialization, the castle nestled in a sea of flowers is the Millennium Castle.

In other words, apart from Arcueid, generally speaking, no one can get there.

Arcueid's return there signifies one thing.

"Is it asleep?"

Fang Li's low question was met with only one more silence from Ciel.

Silence is the best answer.

"Call..."

Fang Li slowly exhaled and calmly asked again.

"Why?"

Seeing that Fang Li was still able to continue the conversation calmly, Ciel admired him and told Fang Li about it.

What exactly happened after Fang Li fell into a coma last night?
