Chapter 227

Chromie snuck into the house and searched for some books. He placed them in front of his nose and sniffed them.

He couldn't smell anything, but he sniffed something out and entered his head.

Scenes appeared in Chromie's mind. From when it was still a tree, wood pulp, ink, and a series of processes, a book was created.

From the manufacturer to the bookstore, the images flashed by quickly. In the end, Chromie saw the corpse not long ago. It was the man named Horton. He took the book from the servant and placed it on the bookshelf. After that, he never touched it again.

Horton didn't buy the book to read. He only bought it for show.

Until a hand appeared on the bookshelf and pulled the book out. Chromie also saw the owner of the hand.

He carefully flipped through the book, especially seriously. He seemed to value knowledge very much. Even if Chromie was a man, or rather, regardless of gender, he had to admit that the other party had a charm that exceeded the limits of humans.

The other party held the book and stood in front of the bookshelf. It was like the most perfect scene, but at the same time, it made people feel fear. It was as if he was peeping at something dangerous.

Standing in front of this person, no, this existence, Chromie felt like he was standing on the edge of an abyss. It was dangerous, ominous, frightening, but also something to look forward to.

But the next moment, the person in the scene suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

An ominous feeling appeared in Chromie's heart.

The person in his Spirit Vision seemed to come alive. Just the other party's gaze made Chromie feel that a disaster was imminent.

In the Spirit Vision scene, there shouldn't be anything around this person. Why did he suddenly look at him?

"It's not a formal meeting, Chromie." In the next moment, this dangerous existence smiled and slowly spoke words that made Chromie feel extreme fear.

Now, Negri was sitting somewhere else. He put down the book in his hand and looked forward as if he was looking at something.

"What an interesting state. If I hadn't learned something today, I would at most have a bad feeling." Negri seemed to be examining something and quickly understood what was going on.

After Negri moved his base, he focused on studying the senses and the perspective of the world. Then, he went to read.

But just now, he felt that someone was spying on him. It wasn't around him, but from another angle, observing him.

This angle wasn't the same as Silence's angle from before, but a different angle to observe himself.

With his experience from the angle of silence and his vast knowledge of mysticism, Negri soon found a trace. This angle seemed to be the angle of the world that could only be seen by pushing his psionic sense to the limit. So, Negri followed the trace and fully activated his psionic sense to find the little thing that was spying on him.

"Are you spying on me through Spirit Vision or something?" In his Spirit Vision, Negri looked at the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Using this book as a medium?"

"Another different angle. Is it spirituality?" Negri observed the changes in this world's angle, then looked at Chromie. "Ask what you want to ask. I don't think we have much time."

It was different from the perspective of silence. In the perspective of silence, it was like another version of the world, except that the boundary between life and death had been reversed.

And in this Spirit Vision, the shape of the world had changed. It showed another side of life, a side that most of us ignore — the spirituality of all things.

Spirituality was the connection between things, another kind of information that was difficult for humans to observe.

Negri had read this book before, so he left a spirituality in it. Since it hadn't been too long, the spirituality had yet to fade, so it was possible to read it. Most divination methods relied on spirituality to obtain information.

At the moment, this place was nothing more than a spiritual space manifested by the various spirituality left behind in the book, and the spirituality wouldn't exist forever. It was currently fading away, so it wouldn't be long before this spiritual space made up of various spirituality completely disappeared, which was why Negary said that there wasn't much time left.

Chromie's body kept trembling. Negri, who was in a spiritual state, also revealed a part of his nature. Chromie felt like he was a fresh and delicious red apple in front of Negri, and Negri could eat him whole at any moment.

The surroundings gradually became illusory, indicating that the spirituality that formed this place was constantly fading. After all, although Negri had finished reading the book, it hadn't taken him long.

If it weren't for Negri observing this spirituality and taking the initiative to observe this side, this Spirit Vision space would have collapsed long ago.

Of course, Negri could also fill his own spirituality to bear the burden of this Spirit Vision space, allowing it to exist for a longer period of time. However, there was no need for that, even if the will of the world said that Chromie had something he needed.

Whatever Negri needed, he would take it himself. At the expense of his own benefits, waiting for others to make a decision and giving the initiative to them was a foolish decision from Negri's point of view.

"Please tell me the clues leading to the Soundless cult, I am willing to pay the corresponding price" Chromie finally managed to overcome a part of his fear. His current purpose in life was to take revenge, and as long as he could take revenge, so what did it matter if he had to make a deal with such a terrifying entity?

Tsk, that's quite a good resolution. Negri understood very well how much pressure he would exert on humans if his nature was completely exposed. The majority of humans would either completely collapse from fear and choose to attack Negri, or submit to their fear and prostrate themselves at Negri's feet, offering their foreheads to Negri.

Yet, Chromie was still able to calmly negotiate with Negri in this state. Even if he had lowered his stance, he still hadn't let his rationality be completely affected by fear.

"In that case, I'll give you a gift. Someone will give you what you need later, and I'll take what I need at the right time." Negri's figure gradually became illusory, and the Spirit Vision space completely collapsed.

Chromie exited the Spirit Vision space with sweat all over his head. He collapsed to the ground and threw the book in his hand aside.

On the other side, Negri retracted his gaze and smiled. He opened the book again and ordered softly, "Bring the thing I brought back to Chromie."
