Chapter 610: Return

Looking at this illusory figure, Su Yuan was completely baffled…

What was going on?

He had wandered around the Kingdom of the Night God for such a long time without encountering anything noteworthy.

And now, the first figure he finally ran into was actually telling him to go save the “Captain”?

Su Yuan had to be sure—was the “Captain” mentioned by this phantom really that Capitano…?

So Su Yuan asked, “Uh… then may I ask, the ‘Captain’ you speak of—who exactly are you referring to?”

“In this world… the one worthy of the title ‘Captain’…”

The illusory figure spoke intermittently:

“Other than that lord… the First of the Fatui Harbingers, Lord Capitano… who else could be worthy of the title ‘Captain’?”

Su Yuan’s heart jolted.

He hadn’t expected that this “Captain” really was Capitano.

But didn’t Capitano just leave the Sacred Flame Arena not long ago?

How did he suddenly run into trouble?

And who exactly was this illusory figure?

Why would someone in the Kingdom of the Night God know about Capitano’s current situation?

“So… who are you, then? And why, here in the Kingdom of the Night God, do you know what’s happening to Captain Capitano?” Su Yuan asked in confusion.

“Right… who am I again…?”

Being asked that, the illusory figure muttered to himself in puzzlement, then finally gave an answer:

“My name seems to be… I can’t remember… but I remember that I was once a subordinate of the Captain… once fought alongside him… resisting the Abyss’ invasion in Natlan…”

“I healed my comrades and companions… but it was useless… many still sacrificed themselves…”

Hearing this, Su Yuan thought—could this person have been some kind of military medic who fought alongside Capitano during the campaign to aid Natlan against the Abyss hundreds of years ago?

Could it be that he died back then, but his soul lingered and drifted into the Kingdom of the Night God?

Though he didn’t know what exactly had happened, Su Yuan still needed some answers:

“All right, since you say the Captain needs help, then you should at least give me some intel, right? Time, place, people involved, the situation—something! That’s the only way I can actually help him!”

“What exactly happened… I don’t know… I only know the Captain was taken away by the former ‘Second’…”

The phantom’s voice grew weaker and weaker, his figure more and more transparent, until he gradually faded right before Su Yuan’s eyes…

“The former ‘Second’?” Su Yuan was completely confused, but then suddenly realized something was very wrong.

“Hold on… if I’m not mistaken, the former ‘Second’ can only refer to Dottore, right?”

Su Yuan exclaimed in shock:

“Don’t tell me that Capitano had only just left the Sacred Flame Arena, and then got ambushed by Dottore lurking in the shadows!?”

“No way—I have to tell everyone about this immediately!!!”

But then Su Yuan realized an even bigger problem—he still had absolutely no idea how to leave the Kingdom of the Night God.

Just as he fell into confusion and despair, Su Yuan suddenly noticed a faint glimmer of light appearing on the path ahead.

He instinctively felt that if he followed that light, he would be able to leave this place…

So he quickened his pace and ran toward the light.

The closer he got, the brighter and more blinding it became…

At last, after passing through that light, Su Yuan could clearly feel that he had successfully left the Kingdom of the Night God and returned to the real world…

“Whew… finally, we can relax. Su Yuan, you really scared us! Thank goodness you made it back safely…” Paimon wiped the sweat off her forehead in relief.

“Haha, I did run into a bit of an accident mid-way…” Su Yuan said with an embarrassed smile.

“But I managed to return on my own in the end, so it’s all fine…”

“Su Yuan, what do you mean ‘relying on yourself’?” Paimon spoke in exasperation.

“If Mavuika hadn’t paid a certain price to perform a simplified Ode of Resurrection ritual just for you, do you really think you could’ve come back?”

“Paimon, that’s enough. Honestly, it didn’t cost me that much,” Mavuika said with a small smile.

“Su Yuan’s physique truly is special. Performing a short Ode of Resurrection ritual for him alone was much easier than I expected…”

At this moment, Su Yuan was completely confused…

According to the intel he’d received, he was supposed to be able to revive from the Kingdom of the Night God without relying on the Ode of Resurrection ritual.

But now, it seemed that the guiding light he had just seen in the Kingdom of the Night God was most likely created by Mavuika’s ritual, right?

“Anyway, thank you, Mavuika. I was too overconfident—still too immature…” Su Yuan looked at Mavuika apologetically.

“But now isn’t the time to think about that!”

Su Yuan continued, recounting everything he had seen and heard inside the Kingdom of the Night God:

“I saw an illusory figure. He said he used to be a military medic under Capitano…”

“And Capitano seems to be in danger now—he was taken away by Dottore!”

“I understand now. Capitano said that if we wanted to find him, we could look for members of the Fatui and have them help contact him!” Mavuika nodded and quickly led everyone into action.

Before long, the group found several Fatui members inside the Sacred Flame Arena and asked them to get in touch with Capitano…

“W–What… what’s going on???” One of the Fatui members exclaimed in horror.

“Lord ‘Captain’ is… missing? He’s always attentive to all of us—this has never happened before!!!”

Their reaction indirectly confirmed the intel Su Yuan had obtained in the Kingdom of the Night God.

“This is really bad… Capitano actually fell into Dottore’s hands…” Paimon said anxiously.

“That lunatic—who knows what he’ll do to Capitano…”

“For example… cutting Capitano apart little by little… dissecting him… to study how Khaenri’ah’s so-called immortality curse actually works…”

The more Paimon spoke, the more terrified she became, until she didn’t dare continue the thought…
