Curtain call

"Abigail... what's wrong? Where are we?"

"This is the world behind the door. According to that person... at that time, I established your connection with the Father God, and the Father God endowed you with knowledge."

He detests omniscient and omnipotent beings, which greatly reduces his interest in you, and this is also the only place he fears.

However, to prevent your soul from ascending to some other state, most of your knowledge has been erased.

"Most of them?" Bai Mo asked with some concern. Humans have always pursued wisdom, Yog -Sothoth was never stingy with it, bestowing knowledge upon summoners...

Then the summoner basically either went insane or their head exploded.

But soon, Bai Mo discovered another blind spot.

"Wait, what do you mean he's interested in me?" Bai Mo broke out in a cold sweat. At first, he thought that Nyarlathotep was eyeing his relationship with the system space.

Are we, as individuals, the ones who are interested in the results?

"Well... I don't understand the specifics either. But my uncle said that someone who directly descends in their true form like this is probably impatient to some extent."

Bai Wunan's teasing words echoed in her mind, "Tell me, of all the monsters and demons in the world, why did you have to run into them all?"

Bai Mo looked up, sighed deeply, and then could only accept the fact.

Abigail's tentacles straightened her hat, and she looked at herself, unsure of what to say.

"Never mind, at least it's resolved. Abby, can you see me off?"

"Are you leaving? Why? I don't know why Nyarlathotep cares about you, but if he sees you like this again, it will definitely rekindle his interest."

Abigail was very worried, and not without reason. Given the level of enthusiasm Nyarlathotep had shown upon their first meeting, if Bai Mo fell into its hands, the outcome would likely be far worse than any torture that humans could imagine.

"Stay here, it's safe here, it won't come here."

"That won't do, I still have a ton of things to do."

Abigail remained silent. She knew she couldn't twist Bai Mo's will, yet before she could act, a door opened. Looking across the door, she saw Salem's beach.

Bai Mo raised his head. In the boundless void, countless magnificent stars formed spheres that surrounded him, their forms impacting his mind, but he did not fall into madness as described in the book.

This was clearly Yog's doing. Bai Mo nodded slightly to the magnificent and ancient being, then walked towards it. The Outer God seemed to cast a glance at him, and Bai Mo heard a voice that he couldn't understand but could comprehend:

"Outsiders..."

"Good heavens, it's one thing for other gods to say that, but for you to say it like that is really..."

Abigail stood there watching. Bai Mo walked to the door, turned to Abigail, and asked:

"What are you waiting for? Come on over. After all... we should say goodbye properly before we part ways."

Bai Mo reached out his hand, just as Abigail had reached out to him before. This time, Abby timidly raised his hand and grasped the heavy, large hand.

The waves crashed against the shore, and two figures sat on the beach. Bai Mo and Abigail looked at the distant sea, saying nothing, simply waiting for time to pass.

"Actually, there aren't any whales in this sea, are there?"

"This is just a stage that Raum set up; there probably isn't one outside now."

At this moment, the outside world, according to the normal flow of time, is Bleaching Earth, so naturally whales don't exist. Abigail hugged her knees and lowered her head. Now she understood everything; everything before was nothing but a mirage created by Raum.

"However, there are whales in the Imaginary Number Space, and they have very violent tempers."

Abigail was somewhat impressed by Bai Mo's composure. The reason Nyarlathotep had come was most likely because she had been discovered in the Imaginary Number Space. The fact that she could still mention it so calmly was perhaps a good thing.

Footsteps sounded in the distance, and Bai Mo saw the Chaldea members, including the man in the lead. The man introduced himself to Bai Mo:

"Hello, while handling a giant octopus in the sea, I accidentally had my body taken over. You can call me Randolph, sir. If word gets out about this experience, you'll definitely be awarded a legendary investigator's medal."

"Forget it, I already have enough medals."

Bai Mo shook hands with him with a wry smile, and both of their eyes turned to Abigail standing to the side.

"Um, excuse me for asking, are you considered that child's guardian? Or do you intend to be? As you've seen, Abigail possesses a talent that defies comprehension."

Hearing Randolph's words, Abigail, who was sitting next to Lavinia, secretly watched their conversation. Lavinia, however, got up and walked directly to Bai Mo's side.

"Lavinia? What happened?"

"Abby, she's very well-behaved."

Lavinia was like a student who had filled out an answer sheet and handed it in early; her small eyes seemed to convey only three words: "Trust me."

"What are you saying... No, I didn't mean I'm a bad kid, sob..." Abigail's weak fist landed on Lavinia's arm. Looking at the two close friends, Bai Mo replied:

"Guardianship... let's leave that for now, I have a ton of things to do right now. But if she needs anything, she can come to me anytime."

"I see. Well then, sir, I have two suggestions. As you can see, Abigail's abilities are outstanding, and we can't just leave her unattended."

There are two methods. One is to seal her abilities and related memories, and erase those memories; the other, I know of a place that is very suitable for her training, allowing her to gradually master this power.

Upon hearing Randolph's words, Bai Mo crouched down and looked at Abigail.

"At your age, you shouldn't be asked to make such a life-altering choice, but I still feel that this choice should be left to you. It's your right, and at the same time, a responsibility."

Looking up at Salem, which was about to disappear into the distance, Abigail asked:

"I... can answer tomorrow. Lavi... I want to spend my last day with her."

"Of course."

Randolph nodded, but Bai Mo shook his head and said:

"No."

"Brother Bai, are you even human? Do you still have human blood flowing through your veins?" Ritsuka to the side, erupted in strong condemnation of Bai Mo's denial. Bai Mo shook his head speechlessly and said to Lavinia:

"You have to come to my place. I have someone there who can heal your soul, but if you die, then it's hard to say."

"Brother Bai, I knew you'd have a way to save her!" Ritsuka, who had just been scolding him, immediately changed her tune. Looking at the girl who still had the energy to be silly after going through so much, Bai Mo waved to her.

"Alright, in conclusion, Lavinia needs to come with me for treatment. Abby, if you want to come too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Abigail hugged her tightly. Feeling the girl's slight sobs and trembling, Bai Mo gently stroked her long golden hair.

"Alright, so Abby, what's your choice?"

Abigail looked at Bai Mo, at his calm eyes, so different from when he was fighting. Gazing at the distant coastline, the girl clenched her fists.

"Bai Mo, you said before that some things won't be erased by the difference of time or space, right? I don't want to forget them like this, even the bad memories... they are still memories that belong only to me."

"Um... can I still look for them later, Uncle?"

"That depends on how fast you learn, Abby." Randolph and Abigail looked at each other and smiled, like true family.
