Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1066: Who Are You?

“This…,” Evan looked at the CCTV video, his expression changing as he noticed something familiar.

Although he couldn’t see everything clearly due to the crowd that had gathered around him after the accident, he could still make out that once he died, the blood covering his face moved on its own, forming the shape of a magic circle that covered his face, radiating a crimson glow.

The magic circle that appeared on his face was very complex, but even then, Evan immediately recognized it as if this circle was deeply engraved in his memories.

“This magic circle looks similar to the one that the black figure inscribed on me when I was born,” Evan muttered softly, remembering the magic circle that the black figure had inscribed on his heart at birth. (Chap— 900)

“If before I was just suspicious, now I’m sure this isn’t a parallel Earth and the reason I somehow ended up here instead of in the World Domain is somehow related to that black figure.”

Although the memory he saw upon entering the hut in the Tomb of the Ancient was very brief, he still clearly remembered that the voice of the black figure was very similar to the voice of the spirit of the Tower of Ascension. And according to the spirit of the Tower of Ascension, its voice originated from the Will of Utopia.

He had gone to the Forbidden Land to search for the Will of Utopia because the spirit of the Tower of Ascension had told him to, which means the Will of Utopia was located somewhere within the Forbidden Land.

“If I think about everything carefully, then it’s highly likely that the reason I ended up here wasn’t because of the attack from the stone man, but because the Will of Utopia interfered with my teleportation and sent me here,” Evan said, furrowing his brows as a light of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“If my guess is correct, then it’s possible that the reason I ended up near that kidnapped stone man was also because of the Will of Utopia, and it was also the one who somehow helped that powerful stone man find me because it wanted me to use my title the Owner of Eldoria City and send me here.”

Evan couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when this possibility came to mind, and he did not like the fact that he was being played by someone.

Although it was just his speculation, he still felt his guess was most likely true and this feeling of being played with made him irritated to the point that he wanted to punch someone.

“I hope I’m just overthinking and it was just a stroke of bad luck that I ended up in such a bad situation after leaving the closed World of Dryads…” Evan took some deep breaths to calm down and leaned back on the sofa with a pondering look on his face.

In the last two hours, he had only looked at the history of Earth and some other minor things to confirm that he was not on a parallel Earth. The situation of the current Earth was still very unclear to him, and he didn’t even know its basic state.

He could look on the internet to understand the basic situation of the current Earth, but after speculating that the reason he nearly lost his life in front of that peak Rank Five Stone man might be due to someone’s interference, his mood plummeted and he didn’t want to burn his brain by reading more information for now.

“I don’t even know what I should do next. Maybe I can get some clues by understanding the current situation of the Earth, but I’m really not in the mood to read more,” Evan muttered while rubbing his eyebrows and sighed.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

“I’m not in the mood to burn my brain looking for information on the internet, so instead of doing that, I should just find someone who can explain everything about the current Earth to me,” He said to himself, wondering whom he should ask for information.

He could look for Leon or Emma, who were the highest-ranking hunters in the city, but he felt those two wouldn’t give him all the information since his origin was still unknown and they didn’t fully trust him.

“I could use my Soul Search skill to get the information I need, but using Soul Search on people would seriously injure their souls, and I don’t want to take that route if possible,” Evan muttered and for a moment, he thought about looking for Valery.

But after a moment, he dismissed the idea of meeting her before finding out more about the situation on Earth, as he felt this might be some kind of trap. After all, it was too much of a coincidence that he found someone who looked similar to Valery on Earth.

“Oh right, I can’t use my Soul Search skill on innocent people, but the one thing the world never lacks is scumbags,” Evan suddenly said with a wide smile on his face as his spiritual senses immediately covered the entire city.

As the city he was in was very small and similar to a fortress that was patrolled by hunters, Evan didn’t find anything odd, so he spread his spiritual sense outside of the city and just after a minute, a cold smirk appeared on his face.

“As expected, there is no lack of scumbags,” Evan muttered, and without anyone noticing, he disappeared from the city.

“Please, let me go!” Somewhere in Paris, one of the few cities that remained standing after the changes on Earth, a kid who looked about ten years old screamed in fear.

“Hurry up and catch him! If someone hears the commotion, we’ll be in trouble,” An E+ rank hunter spoke in a deep voice, holding two unconscious kids in his arms.

“Don’t tell me what to do,” Another E+ rank hunter grumbled in an annoyed voice and stepped forward, moving towards the screaming kid.

A green light flashed around his hand, making the kid dizzy as if he was about to lose consciousness.

Just when the hunter’s hand was about to touch the kid, a curious voice rang out from behind them.

“What are you guys doing?”

Both of the E+ rank hunters were startled when they heard the voice and quickly turned around, only to see a black-haired man standing behind them.

“Who are you?” The first E+ rank hunter asked with a wary look on his face, as he hadn’t sensed the man’s presence until he spoke.

“Me…” The man smiled when he heard the E+ rank hunter and suddenly appeared just a meter away from them. “I am Batman.”
