Angel decided to start his research from the edge of the right eye, focusing on the least important green rune.
This study took up most of the day.
It wasn’t until nightfall, with the sound of ‘dong dong dong’ echoing from the gear button, that Angel lifted his head from his work.
“Who would contact me at this hour?” Angel muttered, retrieving the mini signal tower from the gear button and skillfully setting it up.
After a while, on the other end of the light screen, a freckled little girl in a daisy-yellow dress blew a kiss to Angel.
“Hana.” Angel’s gaze softened: “Why did you think to find me?”
As soon as he asked, it seemed Angel thought of something: “Are you here to see Popoca?”
Sparrow Blossom shook her head: “No, I just wanted to see Brother Pat.”
Angel paused, puzzled: “Considering the timing, Popoca should be… Aren’t you planning to see him one last time?”
Sparrow Blossom still shook her head: “Actually, by tomorrow morning, brother’s soul will return to the Abyss. But, I’ve already said what needed to be said last time, and Totoro also told me not to see him again.”
“Oh? Totoro asked you not to see Popoca when you met last time?” Angel, who had given them private space earlier, was hearing about Totoro and Sparrow Blossom’s meeting for the first time.
Sparrow Blossom nodded: “He told me that brother’s soul would ultimately rest in the Abyss, under the control of the Demon God. And a blank soul without thought or consciousness would definitely attract the Demon God’s attention.”
“When the time comes, the Demon God might use some special methods to uncover the mystery behind my brother’s soul turning blank,” Sparrow Blossom said, glancing at Angel secretly. In truth, she didn’t know why her brother’s soul had become blank, but since this was suggested by Totoro, perhaps it was Angel’s way of saving her brother?
“Even if my brother’s soul is blank, some obsessions might linger in the soul due to death. And I, being my brother’s greatest obsession once, cannot meet him anymore to avoid stirring up these obsessions and being detected by the Demon God.”
Upon hearing this, Angel’s expression remained unchanged, but his emotions fluctuated internally.
Angel understood what Sparrow Blossom meant, but what surprised him was that all this was reminded to her by Totoro… Does that mean, when Totoro knew Angel would save Popoca, he inferred that Angel would withdraw Popoca’s mental consciousness, letting the blank soul enter the Abyss?
Angel remembered that he had never told anyone other than Sanders about the method to save Popoca.
How did Totoro figure it out?
Was it a prophecy? Did Totoro already know about the existence of the Wilderness of Dreams?
Angel was eager to find Totoro to verify whether he had foreseen the Wilderness of Dreams through prophecy. Unfortunately, this question remained unanswered for now, as Totoro had set off for the Crown Star Church a few days ago.
If he really wanted to know, he would have to wait for Totoro’s return.
Angel decided to put aside his doubts for the time being, as even if Totoro knew about the Wilderness of Dreams, it didn’t matter.
The two people he trusted the most at the moment were Freud and Totoro. This trust was fundamentally different in each: due to the Oath of Luo, Freud gained Angel’s trust; while for Totoro, it was purely the emotional bond that made Angel willing to believe in him.
Before Angel planned to give Totoro a login device for the Wilderness of Dreams, he hesitated upon learning that Totoro was going to participate in a Star Observing Day event. Angel knew the Wilderness of Dreams wasn’t fully public yet, and the event would be full of prophecy wizards. If these old sages sensed something, they might trace it back to the Wilderness of Dreams.
“Other than you, does Popoca have any other obsessions?” Angel asked.
Sparrow Blossom shook her head: “There should be, but Totoro said he would talk to his brother to calm all his obsessions and avoid traces in this world from being discovered by the Demon God.”
After a pause, Sparrow Blossom quietly asked, “Have they talked?”
Angel nodded: “They have.”
Previously, after meeting Sparrow Blossom, Totoro asked Angel to arrange a meeting with Popoca.
Now, Angel realized that Totoro’s intention was probably to extinguish Popoca’s obsessions to prevent the Demon God from sensing Angel because of Popoca’s blank soul.
It must be said, Totoro’s move helped them avoid a potential disaster.
This youngster, Totoro, never mentioned it as if it never happened. If not for Sparrow Blossom’s revelation today, Angel would have been unaware.
Thinking this, Angel decided to reward Totoro when he returned from the Crown Star Church.
While Angel was lost in thought, Sparrow Blossom said, “The main reason I contacted you this time is to thank you.”
Angel looked up at Sparrow Blossom.
Sparrow Blossom’s eyes smiled like crescent moons: “I saw another Scene this morning.”
“Although I don’t know how Brother Pat saved my foolish brother, in the New Scene I saw, he was there!” Sparrow Blossom said this with a radiant smile, her dimples almost deep enough to tuck a water chestnut into, “And in that scene, I was there too.”
It was because she saw this scene that Sparrow Blossom excitedly asked Isabelle to contact Angel for her.
Sparrow Blossom knew that Angel would save Popoca, but how he would save him, and whether they could meet again after the rescue, were unknowns. Today’s scene told her that she could see Popoca again, how could she not be excited?
After hearing Sparrow Blossom’s words, Angel wasn’t too surprised; he planned to take Popoca to the Wilderness of Dreams.
And since the Wilderness of Dreams would definitely open in the future, when Sparrow Blossom entered, she indeed had a chance to see Popoca.
“What exactly was the scene you saw?” Although Angel wasn’t surprised, he still wanted to know what exactly Sparrow Blossom had seen.
Sparrow Blossom, without doubt, described the details of the scene in words.
After hearing the description, Angel’s expression became slightly strange. What Angel cared about most was actually the background, but the scene Sparrow Blossom saw was the same as last time, either dark or blurred, this time both together.
Under the pitch-black night sky, Sparrow Blossom held Popoca’s hand, standing on a high ground with an unclear surrounding environment.
The only source of light was the sparse stars in the night sky.
With the help of the starlight, they could faintly see that behind the high ground they were standing on, there seemed to be a mountain-like shadow…
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
