Leon countered with a question.
"Yes, Leon Hoyle is dead."
The other party responded.
After a moment of silence, Leon continued, "That's right, I am indeed not Leon Hoyle."
"To be precise, I don't belong to this world."
Leon added.
He really wanted to say, "I am a native of the stinky tofu city, a province in the 21st century, a nation of foodies and a land of many great figures in modern times."
But if you do that, you really have no privacy at all.
Furthermore, it's still uncertain whether the God of Justice harbors good or bad intentions towards me, so I'll pass on the idea of being honest.
So what if you're deceiving the gods?
If you think about it carefully, humans can also become gods; gods are simply more advanced and powerful humans.
This is roughly equivalent to Pikachu evolving into Raichu?
"What are you praying for?"
"The goddess of justice asked."
“I want to ask Him to help me solve the problem of my extremely slow progress in cultivation. I suspect that I have been contaminated by an unknown source.”
Leon was very honest in this regard, because he performed the ritual precisely to resolve this issue, and there was no need to hide it.
"you are lying."
However, the other party's reply left Leon completely bewildered.
I didn't lie!
Leon's previous statement was indeed the truth.
No, ever since he started talking to the goddess of justice, Leon has been telling the truth.
"Are you Him?"
Before Leon could speak, the other person suddenly spoke again, this time in a question.
The goddess calls me "He"!
Did you make a mistake!
Leon felt completely confused.
"My Goddess, I am merely your faithful follower."
Leon replied, "Are you mistaken about something?"
"You're in a terrible state."
The goddess continued, seemingly ignoring Leon's words entirely, which made Leon feel as if she wasn't speaking to him at all.
Are there any other creatures here?
Thinking of this, Leon turned his head and looked around. It was still empty as always, and he could not see anything else except himself.
"Are you talking to me?"
Leon found it strange.
Did I mispronounce the name and point to another being?
Is this really a goddess of justice?
How can someone be so stupid?
Just as Leon was thinking this, the scene before him instantly collapsed.
In a flash of lightning, the lightheaded feeling vanished, and the scene before Leon returned to the laboratory.
The candles on the candlesticks went out, leaving only three short, half-burnt candles. As for the weights in the basin, they were still there.
This is similar to the rituals performed by the Great Foodie Kingdom to appease the gods and spirits; the offerings are merely symbolic and are not taken away.
Of course, it's also possible that the goddess simply doesn't care about these things, since Leon believes He has the ability to take them away.
Why did you suddenly come back?
Has the goddess of justice rejected me?
Leon was completely confused at this moment.
Did the goddess of justice realize he was a time traveler?
He asked himself, "Am I 'He'?"
He said he was in a bad state?
What is this?
I, Leon, am just an ordinary STEM guy in the new century who secretly watches Brave and Dinosaur under the covers!
If I had to say how amazing I am, it would be that Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Tesla, Darwin, Freud, Planck, Marie Curie, Einstein, plus myself, have simply redefined the entire world.
Difficult to stretch.
The problem remains unresolved, and it seems my identity has been exposed?
Trying to kill a chicken but ending up with a handful of rice instead, hahaha.
Leon tried to stay optimistic.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, I realized that almost an hour had passed since the ceremony began.
Without delay, Leon quickly cleaned up the scene and returned to his room.
Playing cards is actually a form of gambling, and gambling is addictive. Hebrew was very addicted to it and she still plays cards.
Lucy, on the other hand, obediently continued to sit and wait at the door.
“Your Highness, Mr. Hebrew did not notice that he had been playing cards.”
Lucy reported.
"Okay, I understand. You can go do your own thing."
After sending Lucy away, Leon quickly closed the door.
He is feeling very confused right now.
The things the goddess of justice said to herself were hard to understand.
But thinking about it now, it evokes a profound sense of awe.
Although gods are not always right, they can also make mistakes in their judgments.
but……
What if He is right?
So who am I, really?
It's Leon.
It was still Lin Beixuan.
Or is it the "He" that the goddess spoke of?
day!
Leon felt like he was going crazy.
Could it be that I am actually the reincarnation of some super big shot?
What a joke!
I am Leon, I am Leon, I am Leon...
After repeating himself to himself for a while, Leon finally managed to calm himself down a little.
At this moment, inside the Cathedral of Holy Light in Guberland.
In a fairly spacious prayer room, Pope Philomena Lucius Elied Miasius of the Church of Justice knelt respectfully before the statue of the Goddess of Justice.
He wore a loose, simply decorated white robe. Unlike Bancroft, he looked very young, with long chestnut hair and a fair, almost translucent oval face that was both dashing and charming.
There was no one in the prayer room except for Him, the angel. His eyes were closed, his hands were clasped together and touching his high, bulging chest. His body was motionless, and he was not even breathing. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was almost eerie. If it weren't for the long, off-white candles still burning quietly, one would really have the illusion that time had stood still.
Suddenly, the flames of the three long, off-white candles in front of the statue flickered.
Philomena's beautiful long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Those were amber eyes, cold and deep, devoid of any warmth.
ps:
Chapter 90
A strong wind swept out from the darkness and poured into the ice cave, seemingly sweeping away all the warmth in an instant.
Helena sneezed loudly, waking up groggily from the darkness. The cold made her hands and feet numb, and her head felt dizzy.
Crossing the towering Illusion Mountains is indeed no easy task.
"Hayr?"
Helena called out softly, but received no response. Then she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Inside the narrow ice cave, the fire had gone out. There was no moon tonight, and it was unusually dark, but with the eyesight of an extraordinary person, it was still possible to tell whether there was anyone around.
"Ok?"
Why is there no one here?!
What about Hazel and the others?
Helena froze, her eyes darting around frantically. After confirming that she was alone in the ice cave, she quickly walked toward the exit.
"Hayr! Ella! Maisie!"
Helena called out loudly, but it was clearly no use; her voice was shattered by the howling wind.
Where did they go?
It's snowing so hard outside, and it's so dark, it's not convenient to go out.
Filled with doubt and unease, Helena turned and went back into the ice cave.
But at that moment, the fire, which had been extinguished when she left, suddenly reignited.
Beside the fire, a group of people dressed in thin white shirts were shivering incessantly. There were men and women among them. They all had their heads down and were uttering strange, trembling incantations.
When were they?
Helena suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. At that moment, the strange creatures gathered around the fire also noticed Helena, and they all turned to look at her.
It was a bunch of deformed faces that didn't look human at all, with buck teeth, bald heads, cleft lips, and gaping mouths, all grotesque and terrifying.
At this moment, all these faces were chanting the same thing: "Help me, help me, help me!"
They crawled rapidly toward Helena in an extremely contorted posture.
"Well!"
Inside the ice cave, a sudden burst of holy light caused Helena, who was leaning against the ice rock, to sit up abruptly.
She was panting heavily, exhaling puffs of white mist.
"Helena?"
"what's the situation?"
"what happened?"
Beside her, Maisie and Hazel quickly woke up from their sleep, and Ella, who was on night watch and sitting closest to the cave entrance, also came closer.
The flames in the bonfire did not go out.
