Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 386 A Foreigner?

Clara looked at those small buildings and the tiny mortals. She was instantly in awe of those mortal’s prowess. She began to have some respect for them when she deemed that those weak beings were capable of achieving feats such as this.

Davis turned to look towards the distance, where the other planets seem to be orbiting around the Sun.

The nine planets, magnificent in all their glory.

Extending outside the orbital zone were even more planets but they were all cold and icier than pluto.

His gaze traveled far, seemingly trying to penetrate the veil that Fallen Heaven had embedded in him.

’The space beyond Milky Way is an illusion?’ Even to him, it didn’t seem likely when he saw the space with his own eyes.

Of course, he couldn’t see that far. The last planets that were visible in his eyes were Pluto and a few planets outside the orbital zone.

He shook his head and moved the thoughts to the back of his head.

They didn’t bother to waste their energy anymore but spoke using Soul Transmission.

"Let’s head back, we’ll continue our space exploration when our traveling speed can reach over a kilometer per second, after all, space is incredibly vast." Davis decisively spoke, "There could be dangers that were are unaware of, so it’s better to explore after we increase our cultivation bases."

Space was ridiculously vast and roaming in this silent space would be extremely boring, and could be even dangerous.

Even the distance between the Earth and the Moon was around 384,400 kilometers. Even with a speed of 1 kilometer per second, it could still take them slightly more than three days to travel and six days for a return trip.

Clara felt hesitant as she wanted to travel to the moon but she still nodded her head in respect to her brother’s wishes.

In any case, she felt that she was weaker than her brother and felt that decision making in a group should be done by the strong and competent.

Once she thought of it like this, she spoke, "Let’s return then..."

Davis was about to give in when she looked at her hesitant face but then saw her comply with his wishes.

He too wanted to see the moon but there was an even brighter moon waiting for him in his home already. However, he also wondered how beautiful would it be to travel to the real moon with Evelynn.

"Hahaha..." Laughing at his own romantic thoughts, Davis’s gaze moved back to Earth.

Tiantai, China.

On the sofa, the eyelids of a woman gently trembled as the sun’s rays shone on her entire being through the glassed surface of the walls.

The woman opened her eyes and looked at the dimly lit room, whereupon her hands moved above to caress her forehead from the hangover.

She puckered her lips and let out a dissatisfied grunt.

Her bracelet suddenly that was over her hand lit up and a voice could be heard, "Good Morning, Investigator Mo Mingzhi."

The woman named Mo Mingzhi didn’t even blink, her eyes were devoid of motivation. She kept staring at the ceiling in a daze for a few seconds before suddenly letting out a mocking laugh that was aimed at herself.

*Ding~*

"You have received a voice message. Would you like to play it?"

"Yes..." She instinctively replied but then clicked her tongue when she heard the voice of a male.

"The absence you took from work is nearing its limit. If you skip work anymore, there’s actually a chance that you will lose your job..."

The message ended.

"I don’t care anymore..." Mo Mingzhi sat up as she held her forehead, her long shoulder-length messy hair fell to her front and covered half of her face.

*Ding~*

"You have received a voice message. Would you like to play it?"

Mo Mingzhi clicked her tongue again in annoyance. She moved her hand and saw the projection from the bracelet. The voice message was from the same person she expected it to be, who was none other than her colleague.

She hesitated for a moment before touching the projection.

"Investigator Mo, I haven’t seen you come to work for quite a few days. Today morning, the country had issued a secret Level-X Alert to the higher-ups in the entire police force. However, the matter quickly spread and I’m really worried about you. I couldn’t help but ask, are you really fi..."

Mo Mingzhi touched the projection again, interrupting the voice message from being complete.

’Level-X Alert? What was that...’ Mo Mingzhi squeezed her forehead with her index and thumb fingers but she couldn’t remember.

*Sigh~*

Letting out a confused sigh, she touched the projection a few times before speaking, "Wang He, I’m not the woman you think I am, and I can never be together with you. Please leave me alone from here on out..."

*Ding~*

"Voice message has been sent!"

Mo Mingzhi sighed once again as she collapsed while her head landed on the pillow that was at the corner of the sofa.

The man she spoke to was someone she thought of as a colleague but the man seemed to hold endearing feelings for her.

In a workplace, although love between colleagues wasn’t forbidden, it wasn’t something she was interested in either, as her heart had already belonged to someone else.

At least, that was the case until she learned of the truth a few days ago, leading to her streak of absence from work for the first time in her career as an investigator.

*Ding~*

"You have received a voice message. Would you like to play it?"

"Yes..." Mo Mingzhi simply replied as she waited for the bracelet to play his voice message.

"... I see..." There was a long pause before the voice continued, "Take care then..."

Mo Mingzhi’s face scrunched up in exasperation. She could tell from the tone of his voice that he seemed to not give up on her.

"Is that your boyfriend?"

Mo Mingzhi’s eyes suddenly widened as she shot up from the bed and reached her hand under the crevice of the sofa.

A pistol could be seen in her hands as she pointed at the source of the sound as if she had practiced it numerous times beforehand.

"Don’t move!" She shouted and took a look at the source of the voice.

Her vision was blurry due to the effects of the hangover and the sudden maneuver. However, her pupils dilated before it slowly turned into a normal one.

A stable figure seated on the chair with the hands below the chin entered her vision, and the blurry figure slowly turned into a clear one under the dimly lit room.

A blonde-haired man dressed in fantasy like robes came into her view, making her mutter to herself in confusion, "A foreigner? Cosplay?"

She instantly shook her head and composed herself, "How did you get in here?"

The ground floor was locked and the only way that the blonde man should be able to enter her room was from the balcony or the roof from the third floor.

However, the balcony was like a cliff and it was impossible to climb up unless one had the necessary pieces of equipment.

If the other party was a mountain climber, it would make sense but the blonde man was garbed in fantasy like clothes.

As for the third floor, the door leading to the second floor was locked, so he shouldn’t have been able to enter the living room without jumping to the balcony.

’How careless of me, I shouldn’t have turned off the home AI...’ Mo Mingzhi thought and slightly glanced at the drugs she used.
