The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 287: where the touchstone is located

In Rabilins' eyes, a red sun was projected towards him, as if he had flown into a red tunnel.

In the first tunnel, he opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was standing in the library that was familiar to him.

His father, Edgar Pompeii, was holding Alicia, reading the story in the book, and the grandfather and grandson were enjoying themselves.

Rabilins walked over, trying to get their attention.

He shouted first, but there was no response.

Then he started yelling.

However, the family in front of him didn't even know of his existence...

He was like an isolated ghost.

Rabilins, who never thought he didn't need the care of his family, felt a deep fear at this moment - the fear of being isolated and forgotten by his family.

The red sun came flying, as if being led into the second tunnel.

At this moment, he is in his office, and his three strongest men are standing in front of him.

Killia, Ashur and Franken.

However, at this moment, their eyes were different from their usual respect and obedience. They stared at Rabilins with straightforward and dangerous eyes, as if they were intent on killing.

The three walked over, as if planning to kill their own president...

Rabilins, who was always worried about the infidelity of his subordinates, felt another kind of fear - the fear of being betrayed by the subordinates he was guarding against.

The red sun came again, and at this time Rabilins felt that he was about to collapse.

At this moment, he is standing on the high platform in the cathedral - this is the moment when he thinks he is "about to become a god".

The false "touching stone" has been sacrificed, and Kluwitan, who was fishing in the deep sea, began to harvest his power...

Under the high platform, those clergymen in various robes, as well as his loyal subordinates in the past, were pointing at him and laughing: "Look at him! ... This fool!"

Rabilins shivered all over, and put his hands in front of him, as if he was blocking some strong light.

Because the wave after wave came from the deepest fear in his heart, his legs had lost their strength and fell to the ground.

Another round of red sun came galloping, and he broke into the next fear...

He lay alone in the dark ruins, covered in wounds.

His strength has been exhausted, and his life is passing quickly...

This... what's going on here?

I am the mighty Rabilins Pompeii, I was meant to be a god...

How can I die?

no!

In the boundless darkness and the deserted ruins, his eyes widened in fear.

no! I don't want to die like this...

I don't want to die alone like this!

no!

"No!" In front of Sean, Rabilins, who fell on the ground, was mad, his eyes filled with the shadow of fear.

His face twisted: "No!  …

"I can't die!

"I want to become a god!"

His roar gradually turned into a whimper.

Above the cluttered industrial area, Rabilins shook his head like a lunatic and murmured.

Alicia Pompeii had already walked in front of him.

Seeing that her once tall father had become like this, she didn't say a word, just stared blankly at him.

Wendy looked at Alicia.

The female chess player did not respond.

The precision alchemist walked over, and the sharp blade formed by the bracelet ended Labillings' life.

The red blood that was no different from others splattered, Rabilins fell down, his face became pale, and his breathing gradually stopped.

After wiping the blood off the blade, Wendy turned and walked away with a blank expression.

The lion slaughter is over.

The group fell silent.

Alicia took off her short coat, squatted down, and covered her father's face.

It was finally over, she exhaled softly.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Sean: "How did you know?"

Sean knew that she was asking about Wright's true identity.

"Based on speculation, and a piece of information that can make me sure." Sean said, "As a Queen, Mr. Wright's vitality is very tenacious, and he has survived multiple fatal attacks, which makes me have to doubt his identity."

Alicia stood up, and the two of them walked away from Labillings' body.

"Then, you told me in the chessboard space that Cinderella would use death to make Labillings think that the cryptex contained the real Philosopher's Stone, so I couldn't help but imagine that the real Philosopher's Stone was there. where……"

"Combined with the previous speculation about Wright's identity, plus, I saw relevant records in Dar Finch's labyrinth island...

"The Dawn Warlock who created the Philosopher's Stone, Nierman Flamel, his son is named Wright." Sean blinked, "Wright, which means 'light'."

Hearing what Sean said, Moonlight and Evan looked at each other—they were a little surprised what Sean said.

How could a person from 400 years ago appear now?

"So, I speculate that this Wright is Wright Flamel, the son of the Dawn Warlock.

"And the golden stone is not him, but it is on him."

Alicia sighed deeply, obviously once again impressed by Sean's sharpness.

Her mood seemed extremely complicated, and after a long delay, she said, "It's not that I deliberately concealed it..."

Sean shook his head: "No, you should hide this."

Alicia looked at Sean gratefully, and continued: "The touchstone is a personal thing, and I only learned about it by accident.

"At that time, in order to stop my father's ambition to become a god, I had already planned to steal some golden stones.

"After taking the Philosopher's Stone reserves out of the cryptex, he... turned into Wright's appearance."

At this moment, Wright Flamel stood aside and listened to Alicia quietly.

"He told me his story."

"The Philosopher's Stone is a miraculous item refined from substances such as soul, gold, and dawn, and it must be carried by a spirit body.

"When Neelman Flamel learned that transforming his body into a Philosopher's Stone would give him eternal life...

"He saw it as a blessing, not a curse."

In the artificial breeze blowing from the industrial area, the pale-lipped Wright smiled miserably: "A person who has never experienced immortality, but asserts that immortality is a kind of happiness...

"It's ridiculous.

"My father, Sir Flamel~lightnovelpub.net~ has no idea that immortality is actually a curse...

"A curse called 'eternal loneliness'."

Wright's eyes were lowered, and her long black hair covered one eye: "All the good things you meet will perish, if you choose to accompany her, then you will watch her age and perish.

"If you choose to leave her, she will still gradually die out where you can't see it."

"Everything around is growing and dying, and only me, like being trapped in the prison of time, stagnant forever."

"Then, after countless long lonely nights, I suddenly realized--

"Death is the outlet of life.

"Because of my father's self-righteousness, I lost this outlet."

Wright took a deep breath: "Because I don't want to experience that kind of loneliness again, I choose to go into seclusion.

"I have tried to seek death, but the power of the Golden Stone prevents me from dying no matter what.

"The pain of loneliness has plagued me for a long time. In order to make this pain stop, I can only choose to sleep forever...

"I temporarily gave up my human form and hid in that cryptex, praying that one day I would be able to leave this world without harming others."
