183 Chapter 175 - Corpses of the Hybrids.

"Anything happened?" Chris asked.

"Maria said that he wants to have an exploration in a cave near White's village." said Sky.

"Why?" Chris asked again.

"Well... He found... Uh... Something interesting in the cave." said Sky, trying to hide something from Chris.

"Angel's dead body huh?" Chris asked.

"Ah..." Sky became a bit awkward.

"And Maria wants you to keep it a secret from me. Seriously, you are really bad at these." said Chris, as if he had read Sky's mind.

"Chris, can you please stop reading my mind?" said Sky, pretend to be angry.

"In fact, I didn't. Your thoughts are so noisy that I can't ignore it, I believe even Ben can hear it." said Chris, and Ben nodded in agreement.

"Ah... Hahahaha..." Sky laughed in a rather awkward manner.

White's Village. Grandpa White's house.

"Miss Maria, do you know anything about this plant?" Grandpa White asked while observing that strain of plant that was held by Mr. Teacher.

"Hmm... I remember Chris chan showed me something like this before, he said it's for soothing mental trauma." said Maria.

"Mental trauma huh... I see." said Grandpa White as he realized what Mr. Teacher's trying to do.

"Anything wrong with that?" Maria asked, obviously oblivious about Grandpa White's thought.

"Nothing important." said Grandpa White.

Although a bit curious, Maria did not continue with the question, as he knows he has another important thing to do. He had informed Jason to come over, they will be going to the cave in the forest as soon as Jason reaches White's Village. And the girls are super excited about it, especially Yuki.

Jason reached the village in about thirty minutes, and so the four of them set off to the cave in the deep forest...

After they reached the cave, Jason started to examine the dried corpses in the cave, while Yuki is busy taking photos of the dried skeleton.

"Hmm... These do not belong to angels." said Jason after a brief observation.

"What? They're not?" Maria asked, a bit confused.

"But weird enough, their wings are indeed angel's wing." Jason added.

"You mean, they are hybrid?" Maria asked again.

"Well, I can't guarantee about that without a detailed analysis, but most likely." said Jason while collecting a piece of bone from the wing and another piece from the other body parts.

"But if these really are the hybrid of angels, why and how did they die in this cave? Were they been killed by someone here?" Maria asked, and of course, Jason doesn't have the answer.

"Oh my! Ai-chan! That's a great discovery!" Maria exclaimed.

"Should we... Check it out?" Ai asked.

"Yes! That would be a great idea!" said Maria, rather excited.

Meanwhile, Quill Town, homestay.

Sky and the others are having their breakfast in the dining room, same as the previous days, their meals were prepared separately and different from the other group of people, which due to some reasons, only eight of them left, the other two had gone with no obvious reasons given. However, the atmosphere is obviously less tense compared to their first meal there as it seems like Chris had successfully attracted some of the caretaker ladies there, and he is currently chit-chatting with them.

"Oh, you mean you girls cooked all these meals? That's really nice. But that means that you girls need to wake up very early to prepare the meal for everyone? Especially when you still need to prepare separate meals for us." said Chris with a rather gentle tone and smile.

"Not at all, my sisters and I love cooking, we have been doing this for so many years." said one of the caretaker.

"Yes, and we don't mind preparing separate meals, after all, it's quite boring to prepare the same plain meals every day." said the other lady caretaker.

"Oh my! You girls are so hardworking, which matched perfectly with your pure and lovely appearance, you must be angels in disguise." said Chris, which obviously just some flattering.

"Aww~ Mr. Chris, don't tease us, we can't be any of those almighty angels, we are just their humble servants." said one of the lady, blushed.

Yes, the flirting and flattering work well.

"Ah... I almost forgot that he is extremely good at attracting girls, but I can't believe that his 'technique' works well here too." said Sky, a bit... Jealous?

"Actually, you should know that it's not only girls, right?" said Ben while sipping a cup of black coffee.

"Uh-huh... Of course I do. Don't need to remind me about that." said Sky.

"But you have to admit that, this is a really good method to get some 'secret information'." said Ben with a not so obvious smug.

"I'm not so sure about it..."

"Hey, I just noticed that, there are only eight people left for the group over there, where did the other two had gone?" Chris asked.

"Oh! You mean the two chosen new blessed people?" said the lady caretaker.

"Blessed people?" Chris is a bit curious.

"Yes, yesterday is the weekly cleansing ceremony offered for all the outsiders, during the cleansing ceremony, our Almighty God will select a few of them to be blessed, and those who are chosen will be taken away by our Almighty God to His Paradise of Eternity." said the other lady caretaker.

"Oh! That's interesting, how do you people determine if anyone gets chosen or not?" Chris continues asking for even more details.

"Well, it's easy, everyone that joined the ceremony will need to stay underwater for five minutes, which is quite impossible for normal people, usually those who are chosen will be able to succeed and eventually totally disappeared in the water as they were taken away by the God." said the lady caretaker.

Despite been hard to believe, Chris nodded in a rather amused expression...

Ben turned to Sky with a smug, as if trying to say: "See? I told you so."

"Ah... I guess even the magic herbs would not be able to overcome Chris's sweet words." said Sky, still a bit hard to believe what just happened.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

White's Village, Deep Forest cave.

Maria and Ai had entered the hidden room, while Jason continues to examine and collect samples for every single dried corpse with Yuki, who is more focused on taking selfies with the corpses.

As the two entered the room, they found that its just an ordinary room for dwelling with some basic furniture and equipment for daily life. By right, there shouldn't be anything weird about this room, what makes it weird is that, it is located in a cave filled with unknown hybrid's (?) corpses...

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
