In the golden forest, Mei knew in her heart that Raven had also seen it, but she still held onto a sliver of hope and asked Raven if she had seen it.

"All I saw was the whole process of you being touched on the corner, that's all."

"Could you please forget about this?"

"Surely not? I'm not going to tell anyone..."

"Could you please forget about this?"

"Oh dear, I'll have to think about this carefully."

"Pfft."

Mei's earnest repetition made the audience unable to hold back their laughter.

Except for Kiana.

She never expected that not only would her Mei be touched, but that Raven would also see it.

"Ever since Mei entered the Elysian Realm, it's like her script has been rewritten; she's been getting flirted with like crazy."

Kevin sighed.

Elysia, Mobius, Raven...

One after another.

"What, are you envious?"

Yaqing countered with a question.

"How is this possible?!"

Kevin really has a strong will to survive.

He was genuinely scared now. If he gave the wrong answer, who knew if Yaqing had secretly recorded it, or if Mei was in Elysia's live stream.

He's so lucky to have a friend like that.

After entering the entrance that Elysia had mentioned, Mei and Raven did not go to the familiar, pitch-black Depths, but instead arrived at a strange space that looked like an oil painting.

Even Raven suspected that Mei had been deceived by Elysia.

However, at that moment, Mei and Raven saw a boy sitting alone on a rock in the sunset, playing his harmonica.

This is none other than the ninth of the Moth Chasing Fire, Kosma.

"It's Amo!"

Pardo was excited.

Upon seeing that eerie, oil painting-like space, they all wondered if Griseo was about to make her appearance, after all, the adorable Griseo was the darling of the Golden Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, it was Kosma made the appearance.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Hen always leaves little Griseo in Kosma's care.

Although Kosma is not good with words, he is very patient with children.

Mei politely asked Kosma how to get to the Depths.

Kosma didn't say a word.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Like the real-life Kosma, the Kosma in the story is also a boy who doesn't talk much but has a very rich inner world.

Raven muttered something to Mei, while Kosma, though silent, kept glancing at them with his eyes, his micro-expressions revealing a rich inner world.

"Please return, you two. The Depths are not a place for you."

After saying this, Kosma fell into an eerie silence.

But Mei wouldn't stop just because of Kosma's few words.

"Please leave, gentlemen. It's not too late to stop now, so..."

Kosma left without looking back.

Raven looked puzzled, completely not understanding Kosma's meaning. Did he want them to continue forward, or did he want them to follow him?

Mei felt that neither answer was correct, because the monster next to Kosma had already pounced on them.

"Sigh! It's obvious that Elysia hasn't read '100 Questions for a Silent Boy' written by the Fairy."

Elysia pulled a book out of nowhere.

"You actually wrote that?!"

Mobius's eyes widened.

Since Elysia really did write "100 Questions for a Silent Boy", does that mean that the real Elysia might have actually written "100 Questions for Kalpas's Mask"?

"No? Is this book really useful?"

"I think it's more likely that Miss Fairy wrote it for fun."

"If this thing were even useful, I'd wash my hair upside down."

"How could that be? Miss Fairy would never lie."

When Elysia saw the doubts in the comments, she puffed out her cheeks.

"I can attest to this. Sister Elysia's book really works. Ever since I finished reading it, I can finally read Amo's expressions!"

Pardo raised her little hand.

The bullet comments have once again been questioned.

To prove Elysia, Pardo rewinds the story and analyzes the meaning behind Geometric facial expressions, word by word.

The Kitty Brand Translator has once again shocked the world.

Listening to Pardo's analysis, the audience found it all very reasonable and their eyes widened in astonishment.

While Pardo was translating Kosma's inner monologue, they were discussing why Kosma suddenly attacked Raven and Mei.

"Could it be that Kosma is actually saving them?"

Eden has introduced a new point of interest.

"Kosma is a kind boy; he won't attack his successor without a reason."

Aponia knows a lot about Kosma.

But if Kosma's actions in stopping Raven and Mei from moving forward can be considered a rescue, does that mean Aponia is an extremely dangerous person?

Or perhaps, in Kosma's mind, Raven and Mei going to Aponia was just suicide.

"It's really just a series of ellipses; you have to guess what it's trying to express."

Kevin was both amused and exasperated.

This isn't aloofness, it's just a hidden passion.

"Why do I feel like Amo has become like this? It's inseparable from your little follower. It seems like he's imitating you."

Mobius narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, that's normal, after all, heroes are always admired."

Kevin, completely oblivious to the meaning behind Mobius's words, remained smug and self-satisfied.

"I think Mei is about to break down. There's probably no other person in the entire Elysian Realm who's willing to speak honestly."

Little Knowledge suppressed a laugh.

I thought that Kosma would at most be a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and wouldn't be too difficult for a dentist who was asking questions as a successor.

Unexpectedly, Kosma was even more silent than in real life, leaving everyone to guess at the ellipses.

Little Knowledge suddenly felt that old-fashioned things were better.

After all, old-fashioned people are willing to tell you everything.

Then don't blame the old fogies for knowing nothing!

Chapter 526: Aponia's Ten-Day Prophecy Shocks Everyone.

[After a fierce battle with the monster, Mei felt that the monster didn't feel like a living creature, but rather like the surrounding scenery, as if it were drawn.]

The monster suddenly stopped because Kosma had returned, and he wondered why Mei and Raven were still there.

Mei's original intention was to prove to Kosma that she had a reason to move forward, but Kosma misunderstood and thought that they had come for his Signets, so he handed the Signets to Mei.

"I cannot offer you guidance; this path is merely a trail forged from countless dead ends, a tiny ray of light in the dawn of salvation..."

"The so-called 'Morning Light' is nothing more than this."

Kosma's calm voice explained the Signets of the Morning Light.

Like the previous Flame-Chasers, when the Signets was handed over, they would say a few words as narration.

They noticed the dawn of salvation that Kosma spoke of.

"It seems that Kosma really is imitating Kevin."

No one doubted the certainty of Elysia's statement.

Kevin in the story is indeed worthy of admiration, but that's only in the story; the real Kevin...

"Hehe, isn't it only natural for you to imitate me!"

Kevin scratched the back of his head, looking smug.

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"Kevin, you've really gone too far!"

Little Knowledge was speechless.

As expected of Kevin, just a few words were enough to leave the Herrscher of Consciousness speechless.

"The Signets has been handed over to you. Go back now."

Kosma remained unremarkable.

"I'm saying, are you not listening to us at all... We didn't come here for your Signets."

The Raven were dissatisfied; they clearly wanted to ask how to get to the Depths, and hadn't mentioned the Kosma's Signets at all.

"You're the ones who don't listen to others, aren't you?"

Kosma's calm tone carried a hint of anger.

"I have said it many times, the Depths are not places you should go."

After saying this, Kosma gently put down his harmonica, and the air fell silent once again.

Just as the tension between the two sides was escalating and they were about to take action, Pardo's sneeze suddenly broke the silence.

Kosma saw Pardo, he told her to take Mei and Raven away, and then left without looking back.

Pardo had assumed that Raven and Mei had come here to find Griseo, but she was surprised to find that they were heading to the Depths. She shuddered and decided that no matter how much money Mei offered, she would not get involved.

In her words, going to the Depths would bring a lot of trouble: Kosma, Mobius, Sakura, Kalpas, Aponia, and maybe even Kevin.

At Pardo's suggestion, Mei decided to go back to Elysia to find out what had happened.

"Strangeness."

Mobius narrowed his eyes.

"Little Pardo, the timing of your appearance couldn't be more perfect."

Pardo's sudden appearance, though seemingly timid, undoubtedly prevented Mei and Kosma from fighting. To say it was a coincidence would not be convincing.

"Sister Snake, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Pardo shook her head frantically.

She didn't want to be suspected for no reason. People who keep secrets in their hearts don't end up well. She envied Hua the most because he knew nothing and couldn't get involved in anything.

"Looks like, Sister Nia, it seems you're part of the story... tsk tsk."
