As Ye Yan suppressed his aura to its lowest point, His sudden disappearance at this moment would definitely cause trouble for Xing.
Seeing this Huohuo asked again, " Mr. Tail?"
"Huh? That strange feeling is gone... Haha, then why should I pretend anymore! I'm not some rare beast serving humans."
" Tail... Grandpa?"
This was the first time Guinaifen had ever seen a creature called [ Heliobus ]. It looked like something out of a 3D cartoon.
"I am Heliobus, the ghost or monster you think I am. Do you understand? If you understand, then get lost."
"Huh! A ghost!" Guinaifen gasped, Ye Yan quickly put on his earmuffs.
"No way, are all Heliobus people this aggressive?"
Xing's face fell. This creature had no manners at all. It was only because March 7th wasn't around that she could have argued with it a bit.
"Oh dear, what a strange little girl. She clearly came here to film ghosts and monsters, so why is she screaming and yelling when she actually sees them..." Hanya didn't understand. The mental state of the outsiders still needs adjustment.
"Take a deep breath! Little Gui, calm down! Take a deep breath! Hey, can I talk to this... this Mr. Tail for a couple more minutes?"
Guinaifen took the milk tea from Ye Yan and took a few big gulps to calm herself down.
"Get lost, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense."
"Tsk, what a fierce ghost."
Hearing Xing's assessment of him like that, Tail was displeased. "Hey! I've said it so many times, I'm not a ghost! If you keep nagging, I'll eat you both up!"
The Tail made no mention of Ye Yan, as if Ye Yan's existence had been erased from its eyes.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's just saying that. Mr. Tail is a vegetarian," Huohuo comforted them.
"Your Honor, if I may ask, what exactly is this ball of fire? How can we protect ourselves from it suddenly attacking? And... why does Your Honor carry something like this with you at all times...?"
"Everyone who needed to be seen has been seen. The judge has other important matters to attend to. Huohuo, see the guest out."
"Sister, don't be angry. You usually go out on missions and have little experience in dealing with people. You can leave this matter to Hanya. As long as I can explain the reason, they will leave on their own."
"The strange occurrences at Fyxestroll Garden are bound to attract attention, and it's impossible to guard against them all. Today, we roughly dealt with the three unsuspecting individuals, and they're still resentful. If they come back, they might not be so lucky as to run into us again."
Xing noticed the element; she hadn't expected the two judges to be sisters. No wonder the gray-haired Hanya's tone had softened.
"Leave it to me, sister." Hanya's tone changed instantly as she looked at the three of them. "You must have heard about the damage to the [ Matrix of Creation ] of the Artisanship Commission."
"The [ Heliobus ] demon that was sealed off has escaped and is now entrenched here. The Ten-Lords Commission has been ordered to capture it. We advise you to leave quickly, for your own safety."
"Hey, your tone changed way too obviously!" Xing couldn't help but complain, "You're not even acting."
Ignoring the impudent remark, Hanya continued, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hanya will do his best to satisfy your Curiosity."
"But after you've asked, please keep it a secret, leave Fyxestroll Garden obediently, and never come back."
A place as eerie and terrifying as Suiyuan would probably not attract anyone to wander in, except for a streamer like Fyxestroll Garden Guinaifen who enjoys challenges and performing special skills.
Of course, the possibility of the [ Church of Eternity ] coming cannot be ruled out. According to Xing's understanding, the Knights have not completely withdrawn their troops yet.
They've gotten used to living in Luofu; if things continue like this, they'll almost be assimilated into the locals.
Moreover, the pitch-black environment is perfect for contemplating [ Eternity ]! Undisturbed, carefree and leisurely, apart from the dark environment, everything else is top-notch.
"This judge is so understanding, thank you! I swear, I'll leave as soon as I've finished asking my questions."
"As a scribe of the Hall of Karma, Hanya may not be omniscient, but he will try his best to satisfy your Curiosity. Ask away."
What exactly is Heliobus?
"According to the classification of the Divination Commission, they are energy parasites from outer space, appearing as [Spirits of Starfire] in the form of eerie flames."
"To use a metaphor, they are like moths drawn to heat sources. Except this [heat source] is none other than the thoughts of sentient beings."
The Heliobus is still very dangerous; it likes to parasitize intelligent life, absorbing their experiences and tasting their emotions.
Gradually, Heliobus will take root in the host's nervous system, using the host's inner desires and weaknesses to induce all sorts of delusions and manipulate the host like a chess piece or puppet.
The host will then obey Heliobus's every word; this situation is collectively referred to as "possession."
At this point, the person being parasitized no longer has their past self inside their head, but rather a Heliobus who is similar to themselves yet completely different.
The host's body will soon be completely depleted by the Heliobus, like firewood that has been burned out.
"Is this thing dangerous?" Xing pointed to its Tail.
"How dare you talk like that, little girl! Remember this, I'm the most dangerous one!"
" My Tail Tail... has been subdued by Hanya Raven, it won't harm anyone."
"The troublesome thing is that Heliobus is not a mortal being of flesh and blood, and is difficult to destroy. Therefore, before repairing the [ Matrix of Creation ], the Ten-Lords Commission plan to set up the [ Shape-Binding Evil-Warding Array ] in this abandoned garden to imprison these demons."
"As you can see, this [ Shape-Binding Evil-Warding Array ] is not yet complete, and the escaped Heliobus has not been fully recovered. This place remains dangerous, so please leave immediately."
The project is still progressing too slowly, Hanya doesn't want to work overtime! He should have asked a few Church knights for help.
Hmm, let her remember what that poem of praise said again...
Silent Creation, I call upon Him, yearning for His Miracle to descend upon the world! Praise be to the Eternity God who tears apart the long, scorching night!
She didn't remember the rest; who would bother memorizing that stuff for no reason... However, Hanya had heard that reciting a portion of the [ Eternity ] Hymn would bring salvation from the Church.
If we're lucky, we might even be able to summon Yite himself.
Attracting the [ Eternity ] Aeon... such a thought is best left unsaid.

At the same time, a faint and peculiar high-frequency sound wave swept past from a dark corner that the Hanya had not noticed, accompanied by a special frequency.
" The Heliobus has not been fully subdued yet... which means that the supernatural events elsewhere on the Xianzhou might also be related to the Heliobus? My lord, I am very well-informed; perhaps I can help you!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it." Hanya declined Guinaifen's offer.
"Haunted, Heliobus, possession...? I feel like someone stuck a stick into my head and then vigorously stirred it."
"But thinking about it carefully, it's no different from the ghostly hauntings in urban legends."
"[Energy parasites]... it sounds like some kind of pest or disease... it's not mysterious or scary at all?"
