As Adrian suppressed HIS aura to the minimum, HIS sudden disappearance at this moment would definitely bring trouble to Stelle.
Seeing this, Huohuo asked again, "Mr. Tail?"
"Eh? That strange feeling disappeared... Haha, then what is this great master pretending for! This great master isn't some rare beast serving humans."
"Mr... Tail?"
It was Guinaifen's first time seeing a creature like a [Heliobus]. Why does it look like something from a 3D cartoon?
"I am a Heliobus, the ghost and spirit you think of. Understand? If you understand, then get lost."
"Eek! A ghost!" Guinaifen sucked in a breath of cold air. Adrian put on earmuffs just in time.
"No way, are Heliobi all this aggressive?"
Stelle's face fell. This creature had no manners. If March 7th were here, she would definitely have argued with it.
"Oh my, what a strange little girl. Clearly came here to film supernatural ghosts, but now that she really sees one, she's screaming..." Hanya didn't understand. The mental state of Outworlders still needed adjustment.
"Deep breaths! Little Gui, calm down! Deep breaths! Eh, can I chat a bit more with this, this Mr. Tail?"
Guinaifen took Adrian's milk tea and sucked a few mouthfuls frantically to calm down.
"Get lost, I don't have time to blow smoke with you."
"Tsk, such a fierce ghost."
Hearing Stelle evaluate him like this, Tail was unhappy: "Ya-ho! Said it several times, I am not a ghost. Keep nagging and I'll eat you both!"
Tail completely failed to mention Adrian, as if in his eyes, the other party's existence had been wiped out.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's just talk; Mr. Tail is vegetarian," Huohuo comforted.
"Lord Judge, may I ask presumptuously, what exactly is this flame dumpling? How should one prevent it from suddenly attacking people? Also, also... why does a Lord Judge carry such a thing..."
"You've seen what you should see. The Judges still have important matters to handle. Huohuo, see the guests out."
"Sister, don't be angry. You rarely interact with people when you go out on missions. Why not let Hanya handle this matter? As long as I explain the reason, they will leave on their own."
"Right now, the abnormalities in Fyxestroll Garden will inevitably attract attention; it's impossible to guard against everyone. If we rudely dismiss these three who don't know the inside story today, they will be unwilling. If they come again, they might not be lucky enough to meet us again."
Stelle noticed the element. Didn't expect the two Judges to be sisters. No wonder the gray-haired Hanya's tone became gentle.
"Leave it to me, sister." Hanya's tone changed instantly as she looked at the three: "You must have heard about the damage to the Artisanship Commission's [Creation Furnace]."
"The [Heliobus] demons sealed within escaped and are entrenched here. The Ten-Lords Commission is under orders to capture them. Advising you to leave quickly is also for your safety."
"Hey, your tone change is too obvious!" Stelle couldn't help but complain. Not even trying to act.
Hanya ignored this presumptuous complaint and continued: "If you have doubts, you can ask questions. Hanya will try her best to satisfy your curiosity."
"But after asking, please keep the secret, leave Fyxestroll Garden obediently, and don't come back."
For a place as gloomy and terrifying as Fyxestroll Garden, except for streamers like Guinaifen who liked challenges and performing unique skills, probably no one else would run here randomly.
Of course, the possibility of the [Church of Eternity] coming cannot be ruled out. According to Stelle's understanding, the Knights haven't completely withdrawn yet.
Got used to staying on the Luofu; if this continues, they'll almost assimilate into natives.
Moreover, the dark and gloomy environment is very suitable for comprehending [Eternity]! No one to disturb, free and leisurely. Except for the environment being a bit dark, the rest of the configuration is maxed out.
"This Lord Judge is truly reasonable. Thanks! I swear, we'll leave right after asking."
"As a recorder of the Hall of Karma, although I can't say I know everything, I will try my best to satisfy your curiosity. Ask away."
"What exactly are Heliobi?"
"According to the classification of the Divination Commission, they are energy parasites from beyond the sky, [Essences of Starfire] appearing in the form of eerie flames."
"Using a metaphor, they are like moths that love to chase heat sources. It's just that this [Heat Source] is nothing else but the thoughts of sentient beings."
Heliobi are still very dangerous. They love to parasitize intelligent life, drawing on their experiences and tasting their emotions.
Gradually, the Heliobus will take root in the host's nervous system, using their inner desires and weaknesses to create various inverted delusions, manipulating the host like a chess piece or puppet.
The host will obey the Heliobus implicitly. This situation is collectively referred to as [Possession].
At this step, what's inside the parasitized person's head is no longer their past self, but a Heliobus similar to themselves yet completely different.
The host's body will soon be drained by the Heliobus, just like firewood burned to exhaustion.
"Is this thing dangerous?" Stelle pointed at Tail.
"How does the little girl talk! Remember, I am of the most dangerous kind!"
"Tail... has been subdued by Lord Hanya on my tail and won't harm others."
"What's headache-inducing is that Heliobi are not flesh and blood creatures and are difficult to destroy. So before repairing the [Creation Furnace], the Ten-Lords Commission intends to set up a [Form-Binding Evil-Repelling Array] in this abandoned garden to imprison these demons."
"As you can see, this [Form-Binding Evil-Repelling Array] is not yet complete, and not all escaped Heliobi have been recovered. It is still dangerous here; please leave quickly."
The project progress was still too slow, and Hanya didn't want to work overtime! If she knew earlier, she would have found a few Church Knights to help.
Mmh, let her think how that hymn goes...
Silent Genesis, I call upon THEE here, thirsting for HIS miracles to descend upon the world, ah! Praise the God of [Eternity] who tears apart the long night of heat death!
She didn't remember the rest. Who would memorize this stuff when they have nothing to do... However, Hanya had heard that as long as one recited part of the [Eternity] hymn, one could receive salvation from the Church.
If lucky, one might even call Ite HIMSELF over.
Attracting the [Eternity] Aeon... better just think about it.
Beep beep~
At the same time, a faint and peculiar high-frequency sound wave swept past a dark corner Hanya hadn't noticed, accompanied by a special frequency.
"Heliobi haven't been fully recovered... which means supernatural events elsewhere on the Xianzhou might also be related to Heliobi? My Lord, I'm well-informed, maybe I can help you!"
"Thanks for your kindness, but we don't need it." Hanya declined Guinaifen's enthusiasm.
"Hauntings, Heliobi, possession...? I feel like my head has been stuck with a pole and stirred vigorously."
"But thinking carefully, this is no different from ghosts causing trouble in urban legends."
"[Energy Parasites] or whatever, sounds like some kind of pest or disease... Not mysterious or terrifying at all anymore?"
