Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 933 - 934: The Taste of Lies

Several minutes later, in the bedchamber of Mengxi in the Purple Night Palace, two stunningly beautiful girls were sitting face to face on the huge bed, illuminated by the moonlight.

Earlier in the bathroom, Yumo had wanted to chat with Mengxi about the results of her investigation.

However, considering that conversing in the bathroom was more or less a bit improper, Yumo gave up on maintaining a serious expression. After all, with both of them soaking naked in the bath, there was hardly any atmosphere for discussing important matters.

Therefore, Yumo urged and helped that silly girl to quickly finish cleaning her body.

After washing their bodies and changing into clean clothes, coming to the bed, Yumo could finally start understanding the important matter in her heart as she wished.

Mmm, although compared to the bathroom, the current atmosphere wasn’t much more proper.

Glancing at the black bunny pajama set that Mengxi had forcibly put on her, along with the fluffy cute drooping bunny ears, Yumo couldn’t help but sarcastically remark in her heart.

At the same time, after taking in the sight of the white bunny pajama set on Mengxi, Yumo involuntarily raised her hand to her forehead.

She didn’t expect that girl to have such a childish side.

At this age, she was still wearing animal pajamas?

Well, it was quite cute though...

Glancing at the mirror not far away, looking at the two cute little "bunnies" reflected in the mirror surface, Yumo inexplicably felt a sense of delight in her heart. Of course, Yumo was someone who knew the priorities of matters. After pondering for a few seconds, she showed a serious gaze and solemnly looked at the white bunny in front of her.

The next moment, taking a sip of red tea from a carrot-shaped cup, the black bunny girl gently inquired:

"Any news?"

Yumo didn’t specify what the news was, but the intelligent Mengxi naturally understood what Yumo’s words meant.

The white bunny slightly nodded, and a deep sense of solemnity and guilt slowly welled up in her light purple eyes.

"Mm, probably, I’ve found out."

"What did you find?"

"Does Yumo know about the Salvation Society?"

"Salvation Society? What’s that?"

Yumo tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"The Salvation Society is currently the first underground organization on the Ancita continent. They believe that the government leaders of the major empires on the continent are controlled by the Abyssal Demons and enslaving humans under the manipulation of the Demons. Therefore, the current governments must be overthrown. In the past few years, they have been quietly working towards this goal. Because in the past few years, the main objective of the major empires was to find you, it gave the Salvation Society an opportunity to develop. Now, they have forces in various empires and kingdoms. However, because they are constantly thinking about overthrowing the government and occasionally launching attacks, most people have determined them to be terrorists with unrealistic fantasies."

"Well, it’s not really an unrealistic fantasy..."

Most of the current forces are indeed controlled by the Abyssal Demons.

Yumo sarcastically remarked in her heart.

"But why do they have such thoughts?"

"It’s probably because their high-ranking members are almost all survivors of the Anvika Holy War back then. People who witnessed that massacre and know part of the truth."

"Is that so? No wonder. So, Mengxi, you mean the attacks on Holy Lomari, the Seidek Empire, and Yuan’er’s grandfather were all because of this so-called Salvation Society?"

"Mm, yes."

The silver-haired girl slightly nodded.

But while nodding, Mengxi also sighed with deep guilt.

"But, although the mastermind behind those attacks was the Salvation Society... there was the shadow of our Church Nation behind it, and it should be a high-ranking figure."

"A high-ranking figure?"

"Mm, today, in order to investigate the attack incidents Sister mentioned, I deliberately set up a trap and captured some high-ranking members of the Salvation Society hiding in the Holy Capital. Through interrogation, that guy revealed that their Salvation Society has been cooperating with some important officials from our Church Nation. That official provided them with funds to support their actions and important intelligence. They even bestowed the power of Holy energy upon them."

"Bestowing the power of Holy energy?"

"Mm, bestowing. Sister probably doesn’t know yet. Although the Goddess Statues were all destroyed back then, and believers can no longer directly obtain power from the Goddess Statues, four years ago, after research by several Great Sages, our Church Nation has already been able to artificially bestow the power of Holy energy without going through the Goddess Statues."

"Artificially? That’s possible?"

Yumo blinked in astonishment.

"Yes, it’s done through a ritual, infusing the Holy energy from the bodies of the strong into the bodies of the believers. As long as the believer’s faith is strong enough, the Holy energy will overflow from their soul. However, in the current Church Nation, only those at the 7th level and above can bestow Holy energy. Considering that the Salvation Society has so many Holy energy users, the 7th level might not be enough, as they don’t have that much power. So, I speculate that those colluding with the Salvation Society should be members of the Six Wings. Only those few 8th level existences can accomplish this."

"The Six Wings?"

"Mm, it should be."

Mengxi slightly nodded, and deep guilt and self-blame instantly showed in her eyes.

The silver-haired girl bit her lip like this, clenched her fists, and lowered her head with considerable remorse.

"I’m sorry Yumo. I didn’t expect that during my seclusion, such a thing would happen. Not only privately funding a terrorist organization like the Salvation Society, they even took advantage of my absence to change the Church Nation’s foreign policy in my name... They actually did so many things behind my back... Damn them!"

As she spoke, a bone-chilling anger gradually emanated from Mengxi’s eyes.

In response, Yumo could only shake her head helplessly and pat Mengxi’s shoulder as if empathizing with her.

"Uh, how should I put it? You, you don’t need to feel too… too guilty. If subordinates truly want to hide something from you, it’s… it’s not easy to see through."

Well, in the past, wasn’t i also fooled like this for several hundred years?

Under Yumo’s consolation, Mengxi, who took a few deep breaths, gradually retracted her coldness.

"But no matter what, this is indeed my responsibility. If I had properly supervised the people in the Church Nation, the current situation wouldn’t have become so awkward."

"It’s alright, you don’t need to blame yourself so much. After all, you were in seclusion. Then do you know who specifically did it?"

"Mm, I have a general idea. However, since I am the leader of the Church Nation, to punish subordinates, I still need substantial evidence."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need."

Mengxi shook her head and said somewhat guiltily:

"How can I trouble Yumo with such matters? Sister, you should just stay in the Purple Night Palace and enjoy life. You don’t need to worry at all. Believe me, I will handle this matter well. I will definitely give Yuan’er a satisfactory explanation."

Looking into Yumo’s scarlet eyes, the white bunny girl said with conviction and a serious expression.

Faced with Mengxi like this, Yumo couldn’t say much and could only obediently nod.

"Mm, I believe in you."

Saying that, Yumo, like a sensible good wife, gave Mengxi a thumbs up and an encouraging look.

However, beneath this encouraging gaze, what was hidden was an indescribable sense of worry and unease.

And just as Mengxi jumped off the bed to get some snacks, Yumo’s eyes imperceptibly narrowed slightly.

’So this is how a been lying to test...’

Gazing at Mengxi’s back, Yumo murmured in her heart with complex emotions.

Undoubtedly, Mengxi’s performance just now was full of sincerity.

But relying on her keen insight, Yumo still noticed the unusual aspects, such as the flickering in Mengxi’s eyes when she was blaming herself. Although it was only for an instant, Yumo still successfully captured it. Coupled with other details in her actions, Yumo somewhat dejectedly came to this judgment in her mind.

Realizing that Mengxi was trying to deceive her again, Yumo instinctively felt a strong sense of displeasure.

However, after experiencing the deception from her own child, Yumo, whose psychological endurance had improved a lot, quickly stabilized her emotions after a brief inner fluctuation and felt a deep sense of doubt.

Wait, something’s not right...

Mengxi, six years ago, was already able to deceive me in circles. And in these years, she had been making rapid progress while I was still stuck in place. For the current me, deceiving a muddled old mother like me? It shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s unlikely for her to be seen through.

After all, in these six years, she had been stuck in place in various aspects.

However, in reality, her acting was seen through by me?

This also meant that...

Mengxi...

Did it on purpose...
