Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1065: A Familiar Face (part 2)

“What the hell is she doing here?” Evan stared at the holographic screen, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

On the screen, there was a photo of a beautiful woman with long silver-white hair and green eyes. The woman had a cold and indifferent expression on her face and was standing amidst thousands of monsters, all frozen solid within ice blocks.

Although her hair colour and face looked quite different, Evan was sure that she was Valery, whom he hadn’t seen since leaving the Arora World.

“Her current appearance looks similar to when she used the power of her physique…” Evan muttered with narrowed eyes, recalling Valery’s Ice Reaper form that he had seen her use a few times.

Evan read the article, and after confirming that the woman in the photo was also named Valery, a deep frown appeared on his face.

“If she is really Valery, then how did she end up here? Moreover, it’s not even a year since I left the Arora World. She was just a B+ rank hunter at that time, but according to this article, the woman in the photo is actually an S-rank hunter. How did she increase her rank from B+ to S in such a short period of time?”

As Evan pondered deeply, many questions emerged in his mind and he started to wonder whether the woman in the article was the same Valery he knew or not.

“I need to meet her…” He muttered in a low voice as he looked at the photo on the holographic screen with narrowed eyes. “If she is really the Valery that I know, then I need to find out how she ended up here. If not, then I need to confirm how she is related to her.”

Even if the woman in the article wasn’t Valery, Evan was sure that she was somehow related to her.

‘Maybe it’s something related to her special physique. After all, this woman looks awfully similar to how she looked after using the power of her physique,’ He thought as he searched for information about Valery on the Internet.

As he looked for information about her, he was surprised to find that, according to the information available online, she made her first appearance around five months ago. The first time she appeared was in a small city that had suddenly experienced a dungeon breakout, and she single-handedly killed all the monsters that broke out from the dungeon.

When Evan tried to find other information, like where she grew up or where she was from, he found that no such information was available. It was as if no one knew where she came from.

“The chances of her being the Valery I know have increased quite a bit…” Evan muttered while rubbing his chin when he saw there was no information available about her origins. “But she first appeared five months ago, which means it was just three or four months after I left the Arora World using the Tower of Ascension…” Evan said with a thoughtful look on his face.

Just as he was deep in thought, something clicked in his mind, and Evan’s expression changed.

“No, it’s not right. Based on what I’ve discovered so far, time may flow differently here compared to Utopia and the Arora World. Since she appeared here five months ago, it’s possible that she disappeared from the Arora World just around a month ago.”

From the information that Leon gave him, Evan confirmed that more than fifteen years had passed since he died. Although it’s been only about four years for him since he died, over fifteen years have passed here, which means the time ratio difference is nearly 1:4 years.

“The only thing I’m still unsure about is whether this is really the original Earth or a parallel one,” He said and started to search for information about Earth before dungeons and monsters appeared.

After looking for information for about two hours, Evan took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

From what he found on the Internet, he was now at least 99% sure that this was the original Earth where he had died.

Besides researching the history of Earth, he even checked information about famous people he knew and found everything matched what he remembered. Heck, he even checked the release dates of some of the games he had purchased and found they were also identical.

“It seems it’s really not a parallel Earth but the original one. The time just flows differently here compared to Utopia and Arora World,” He said to himself and suddenly remembered what Leon had told him.

“According to Leon, after my death, some strange patterns appeared on my body, and it exploded into a burst of energy that changed everything on Earth…”

Evan tried searching for something related to his death on the Internet. Since people believed it was because of him that everything changed on Earth, he thought he might be able to find something… And just as he expected, when he searched online, he soon found some posts and videos related to him.

However, most of the posts he found were completely fake or made up. His face couldn’t help but twitch when he saw one post with a photo of himself lying naked on the ground, surrounded by people and covered in blood, with strange patterns engraved on his body.

“Some people are really…” He was truly speechless seeing such a photo of himself. “If you want to stir up something by creating fake posts, at least make it believable. I mean, why the hell am I naked here? Do they think I’m a retard who would go out naked?”

Evan cursed the person who created this fake post, who even called him a devil spawn and then looked at other posts to see if he could find something real. After about ten minutes of searching, Evan finally found something, and his eyes lit up.

It was CCTV footage taken by a camera installed near the traffic signal where he had died.

He immediately played the footage and soon, the familiar scene of him cursing the traffic signal for always being red whenever he was in a hurry played before him.

Strangely enough, when he saw himself getting hit by the car, he didn’t feel anything.

The car didn’t stop after giving him a “transmigration ticket” and disappeared from the scene, while a crowd of people gathered around his body.

But Evan paid them no attention as his focus was entirely on his blood-soaked body, waiting to see the strange patterns that Leon had mentioned.

“This is…” Suddenly, Evan noticed something familiar on his body and his eyes narrowed.
