A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 521 Truth_2 Chapter 708: Chapter 521 Truth_2 The girls killed on the streets were victims, sacrificed to the Demon Beasts. Their bodies were torn apart, their souls devoured, all in the name of appeasing and worshiping them.

Ah, Duanmu Huai now understood why these creatures were so obsessed with the Golden Pupil. To them, Mary's Golden Pupil was like Monk Tang's meat, consuming it would grant them immortality. No wonder these monsters chased Mary relentlessly. If he were a monster, he would do the same… after all, this Monk Tang had no Sun Wukong at his side.

But these beasts were as polite as the demons in Journey to the West, they took turns instead of attacking all at once… this was just like when the Gourd children saved their grandfather.

Of course, during the course of their exploration, they hadn't escaped losses. Professor Capek's beloved Mariabel had died because of this. With her death, the group of seven disbanded, but the quest for the Tartar Gate hadn't ceased.

The next year, Charlotte Bronte had taken the initiative to find Professor Capek and joined his research group.

This meant that she, too, joined the exploration of the Tartar Gate. According to Professor Capek, her soul seemed to have successfully entered the Tartar Gate, leaving only her physical body here.

But the question was, how did Charlotte achieve this?

As Duanmu Huai pondered these questions, a hurried ring of the telephone broke his thoughts. He picked up the receiver, and from the other end of the line came the slightly panicked voice of Mary.

“Hello, this is Mary Clarissa Christie, may I ask…”

“It's me, what's wrong?”

“Ah, sir…thank goodness…”
At the sound of Duanmu Huai's low voice, Mary let out a sigh of relief.

“Just now, I received an email, from Shirley! It's from Shirley, sent the day before she fell into a coma!”

“Oh?”

At this, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.

“Excellent, come over. As it turns out, I have something very important to discuss with you…”
It wasn't long before there was a hurried knock on the door. Duanmu Huai went over to open it, only to see Mary panting as she stood there.

“Come in.”

“Yes, I'm sorry for bothering you…”
As she spoke, Mary stepped into the room. As she arrived in the living room, her eyes immediately fell onto the safe sitting there, its door completely torn off.

“………”
Looking at the safe, Mary stood there, completely stunned and speechless. It was Duanmu Huai's voice that brought her back to reality.

“Where's the letter?”

“Ah, it's here.”

As she spoke, Mary carefully took out the letter from her most personal possession and handed it to him, whilst Duanmu Huai studied the letter.

“……what the hell is this??”

The writing on it looked like a jumble of random characters that Duanmu Huai couldn't decipher.

“Ah, this is the Kadas Inscription. Shirley and I replaced the phonetics of the Inscriptions with letters and wrote articles. It's a kind of secret code game that we occasionally use to communicate…”
“………”
Even your games in the history department are hard-core, impressive.

“You read it.”

Duanmu Huai promptly surrendered.

“Okay.”

Mary took the letter and looked at the text again.

[Dear Mary…when you read this letter I hesitate to think that I may already be dead, even if not, I certainly…can no longer join you and A'Xie for afternoon tea. I'm sorry, Mary, you must be extremely confused right now. You don't even know what has happened and I've left you in the dark.

I'm sorry, but this is for the best. It's better that you are unaware of this matter. So, please…if you…if due to worrying too much about me and this has gotten you into danger, please, stop.

Forget me, forget me completely, forget all the terrible things, the horrifying things, forget everything. Please forget me, I should be alright, please, Mary… be diligent in your studies, be good friends with A'Xie, live happily tomorrow… please, please, my darling Mary, my favorite Mary, don't cry, keep smiling… Mary Clarissa, I wish you happiness…]
By the time she finished reading, Mary bowed her head, tears welled in her eyes, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai was looking curiously between Mary and the letter.

You say you two are just friends?

Why do I sense the same vibes as between Ann and Greiya?

You also have a “friendly” relationship?

Why is everyone around me like this?

Ann and Greiya, Hauser and Seizer, and now there's Mary and Charlotte?

Will it ever end?

Nevertheless, this letter constituted one of the most significant pieces of the whole puzzle.

“Just as well, what I was going to tell you is also related to this.”

It was only after Mary had calmed down that Duanmu Huai began speaking. He then brought out a bunch of documents and explained the situation to Mary in detail.

Needless to say, after going through the documents, Mary was utterly shocked.

She had never thought that her childhood friend, who had been with her since they were little, would voluntarily join a Cult Organization!

Moreover, from the looks of this letter, she had been in contact with Professor Capek since a year ago!
