After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

A slight blush appeared on Spa's cheeks.

He tried to push Pera away, but she held on tightly and refused to let go.

Pera raised her head, her eyes gazing at Spa through her round-framed glasses, her lips moving slightly:

Aren't you afraid at all?

"Fear? Why should I be afraid?"

Spa shrugged: "There are two possibilities when a child appears in a hotel: one, he's just an ordinary kid, so there's nothing to be afraid of. two, he's a Memory Realm Meme, so I'll just beat him up."

Spah spoke calmly, then slipped into Pera's ear.

Perhaps due to the suspension bridge effect, the girl's heart rate increased.

After a while, she realized that something was wrong with her, so she quickly let go of Spa's waist, ran a meter away, coughed, and tidied her hair.

The girl calmed down, looked at Spa again, and seeing his expressionless face, thought:

Unexpectedly... Spahta, even in this oppressive environment, was able to remain calm and analyze the situation without being frightened by the unusual activity.

His incredible resilience, and the unknown and terrifying experiences he's endured, are probably far beyond what we, people from remote planets, can compare to.

The more Pera thought about it, the more incredible Spah seemed.

However, before she could shake off her thoughts, she heard footsteps again.

"..."

Pera stood frozen in place, not saying a word.

Five seconds later

"Yeah!"

Pera screamed and took off running down the corridor. She disappeared in no time.

Spah was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding the situation.

By the time he came to his senses, Pera had already run far away and disappeared into the dark corridor, impossible to see clearly.

You can't just leave a girl behind.

Spall thought to himself, and started running in the direction Pera had gone. But after a few steps, he stopped.

That's not right.

Although Pella is a girl, she is still an officer and should be able to take care of herself.

Now, the information about the mobile phone hotel is even more crucial. The guy who created the footprints might be closely related to the disappearance of the Memory Sea.

Spah rolled his eyes, turned around, and ran towards the direction from which the footsteps were coming, following the memory in his mind.

A short while later, he ran to the location from which the sound came and looked around, but he could not see the blond child.

Tsk, did you miss it?

Spah sighed softly, slightly frustrated.

However, he was not one to give up easily. After a couple of seconds, he turned his head and began to observe his surroundings.

There's nothing special here; the walls are still moldy, and the floor is half-rotten, creaking and groaning all the time.

However, Spah moved his head and found a clue.

He saw that there were still children's footprints on the floor, and next to the footprints, there was a lingering scent of memories, even stronger than in front of the photograph.

"Got you!"

Spa licked his tongue.

He swung the Ma Liang brush and bound Sangbo again.

He then closed his eyes and opened them again, and the room immediately began playing back footage of the past.

Upon seeing the image, Spah shuddered, his brow furrowed, and his fists clenched.

He then saw the crying fool, wearing a snow-white shirt, leaning against the wall with his arms outstretched, revealing his back.

The Ocean of Memories...did you steal it from me?

Spah clenched his fists, instinctively about to rush in front of the Fool.

But the next second, he saw a child standing in front of the Fool.

The child had dark blue hair, green eyes, and wore red clothes; he looked remarkably like Wach.

However, he was much younger than Wach, only about twelve or thirteen years old.

The boy put his hand in his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke straight at the fool's face.

"Abandon your plans."

The Crying Fool adjusted his mask and uttered a chilling voice: "A very strong person will come to stop you."

As he spoke, the Fool glanced in Spa's direction.

Spaden jolted awake and instinctively pulled out his charging gun.

But soon he came to his senses and realized that this was just a projection of the past, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to observe.

The Fool... seemed to have anticipated my arrival.

Spa pursed his lips.

"Abandon my plan? Ha! Impossible! Impossible!"

Wach sneered and narrowed his eyes.

He coughed twice, exhaling wisps of white smoke, spread his arms, raised his head, and sneered:

“You should know that everything I’ve done is what the Yalilo people want. But there’s something I’m curious about.”

Wach paused for a moment, then slowly said, "If I were to fight that person you consider strong, what would my chances of winning be?"

Chapter 74 Pera Wants to Escape Reality

The Fool did not answer, but instead gave Vach a cold glance.

He studied the boy for a while before slowly saying:

"Logically, your chances of winning are less than one percent. However, if you really have a way to plunge the entire planet into nothingness, then he will most likely be the one to die."

"From what you're saying, I'm absolutely certain of victory?"

Wach chuckled, took a puff of his cigarette, but accidentally inhaled too hard and coughed up several puffs of black smoke.

“Minors are not allowed to smoke,” the Fool said.

“I am as old as Belloberg.”

Wahe stretched and his body "poof" turned into blue mist and disappeared without a trace.

Spall saw that only the Fool remained in the hotel.

"Ha! A game is only interesting when both sides have a 50/50 chance of winning. [Preservation] has enough chips to break [Void]."

The Fool muttered to himself, but turned his head toward Spall, raised his right hand, and made a scissor sign.

Spall was slightly taken aback by his action, but did not react in any way. Instead, he held his breath and observed the other person.

Even if the Fool knew I would come here, there's nothing he can do in the world of "Melancholy Blues".

Spall thought to himself, holding his breath.

He saw the Fool turn his head, walk to the wall, pick up a piece of chalk, and scribble a string of words:

[Rivet Town, Orphanage]

Is this a place name? Is it located in the lower district?

Spall saw the words, gently pressed his fingers to his chin, his eyes darted around, and he pondered:

The fool did this to lure me there.

While I can ignore it, being timid and hesitant has never been my style!

Even if he sets a trap, I'm confident I can get through it!

Spall snorted and left the Melancholy Blues.

Let's find Pera first.

Spare was thinking to himself, and just as he was about to leave his spot, he saw a petite figure walking towards him from the depths of the corridor.

The figure emerged from the dark corridor, revealing itself to be Pella herself.

"Pera, let's go."

Spa moved toward Pella.

click!

Pera suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Spa.

……

Let's rewind to a few minutes ago.

Do do! Do do do...

Pera ran several steps, stomping on the floor, before finally stopping, bending over to support her knees, panting heavily.

"I'm... way too... too paranoid!"

Pera took half a minute to catch her breath before she could straighten up.

She shifted her gaze, scanning the entire Goethe Hotel, only to see that the paint on the walls had long been scratched, revealing the red bricks underneath.

The air was filled with the smell of burning and the stench of garbage, which filled our nostrils.

Pera was afraid she would throw up, so she didn't smell the odor for long.

Compared to the Goethe Hotel in the upper district, the conditions here are far too poor.

Judging from what I've heard along the way, the entire lower district is probably in this terrible state. In fact, this area is considered relatively better off than the rest of the region.

Is this kind of wealth disparity really what Cocolia wants?

Pera pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Waaaaah! Waaaaah...

The phone started vibrating.

Pera took out her phone, lifted the veil, and saw a text message flash on the screen, displaying a familiar name:

Bronya.

Pera pressed the accept button, and a message appeared:

[To Perlagya Sergeyevna:]

We just received your report.

Thank you for your hard work regarding the Goethe Hotel.

Although you have a mission to investigate paranormal events within the city, please terminate your investigation of the lower districts this time.

The Great Guardian has discovered that the motives of the extraterrestrials are not as simple as they claim.

On the surface, they claim to want to help us resolve the perpetual winter crisis, but in reality, they have ulterior motives towards Belloberg.

[According to the report, you have followed an extraterrestrial into the lower realms. Therefore, Pelagia, your mission is as follows:]

[Take that extraterrestrial to Fort Krippar. If he resists, execute him on the spot for subversion of state power!]

"..."

Pera gripped her phone, her body frozen.

You want me to go and catch Spa?

He's so strong, his power is earth-shattering, capturing him would just be suicide for me, right? Besides…

Pera looked around and saw the desolate state of the hotel. Her heart sank.

Was the Great Guardian's decision truly correct?
