“Cough cough.”
Wen Yu was both amused and frustrated by the inexplicable scene before him.
Watching Arcade sitting there seriously spinning tales, Caius was actually listening intently to the story about “how the little dog from the neighbor's house died tragically 30 years ago.”
This scene seemed to collapse Wen Yu's worldview in an instant.
Wen Yu really wanted to tug on Caius's ear and shout, “Brother, may I ask how old you are this year?”
...
“I’m ready.”
Sensing Ye Nan’s small movements behind him, Arcade subtly exchanged glances.
“You keep thinking of a solution, I’ll stall for a bit.”
Arcade was multitasking, his words flowing without pause.
“So, my final wish is to see Wang Cai one more time.”
Such nonsensical talk actually plunged Caius into deep thought.
After a while, Caius shook his head.
“As you said, that dog has been dead for almost thirty years, I can’t bring it back to life. Your wish is good, but unfortunately, my abilities are limited. I’m sorry, I can’t fulfill your last wish.”
“Hope you can see your Wang Cai in heaven…”
Alright, it was surprisingly funny that someone took such nonsense seriously. Wen Yu hadn’t known Caius well before, but he had to admit that this time, he truly gained some insight.
And Arcade was also happy to continue the act with Caius.
Arcade opened his mouth with a sorrowful expression.
“Father, do you really think I can go to heaven after I die?”
This question left Caius stunned.
After a moment, Caius studied the contents of the Bible carefully and shook his head at Arcade.
“You definitely can’t go to heaven.”
“Then how about this? You go to heaven and have a word with the great Father God, let him open a back door for me. When I get to heaven, I’ll surely serve him like an ox or a horse.”
Caius was momentarily taken aback and reflexively asked.
“How do I go to heaven?”
“Don’t you just die to go to heaven? We can serve the great deity together, how perfect would that be? Otherwise, I’ll be all alone in hell, which is quite lonely…”
Upon hearing this, Caius immediately reacted.
“You’re messing with me?”
“Yes, I’m messing with you!”
Arcade smiled as he gestured to Ye Nan behind him while speaking to Caius.
“I’ve messed with you more than once or twice, and you’re quite strange for not learning from being played so many times.”
Ignoring the surging white light around Caius, Arcade finished with a teasing tone.
“Father, I have one last wish.”
The white light surrounding Caius momentarily stagnated, then surged at a much faster speed than before.
“See, this time you finally learned…”
...
Facing the white light, Ye Nan tightly gripped a jade pendant. After Arcade finished teasing Caius, he decisively crushed it.
A silvery light flashed, and the next second, a shimmering silver door appeared behind Ye Nan.
Dimensional Sanctuary (s-rank item): After being crushed, this item will leave a spatial door at the original location. The dimensional space can only accommodate the host and designated personnel. After opening the dimensional sanctuary, the host can bring people inside, where the space is a pure white area of 10 meters by 10 meters. The host can stay inside for an hour, after which the dimensional sanctuary will forcibly expel all professional practitioners within it.
While it seemed like a grand item, in reality, it was utterly useless — opening a door in place and hiding for an hour only to come out in the same spot. If someone was blocked, it was like extending life for another hour in a roundabout way.
This couldn’t be considered a means of saving life; it was just Ye Nan’s desperate measure — buying an extra hour to think of a strategy against Caius or waiting for the situation to change.
Seeing the abruptly appearing dimensional door, Caius finally reacted.
He casually unleashed an energy wave, causing a fierce white light to sweep forward like a laser!
