Chapter 694 - 694 691 Abnormal Contact

?Chapter 694: Chapter 691: Abnormal Contact Chapter 694: Chapter 691: Abnormal Contact Ted Riel sat down next to Anomaly 077.

“Really won’t have some?” Anomaly 077 grinned and shook the beer bottle in his hand, then pointed to a corner, “I still have one more bottle—this internal circulation stuff, miss it and it won’t be easy to find again. From what I know, Light Breeze Harbor doesn’t have this… Give it a try, if you’re still soaked by the chill of Subspace, alcohol might help.”

“…Since you know so much about ‘saints,’ you should be aware that alcohol means nothing to me,” Ted Riel glanced at the mummified corpse and then shook his head, his gaze returning, “There’s something I’m curious about.”

Anomaly 077 shrugged: “You can ask, but I might not answer.”

“…How do you, an ‘anomaly’ with a complete mind, view this world?” Ted Riel asked seriously, then, perhaps feeling his question was a bit abrupt, paused to ponder and added two more sentences, “I’ve dealt with many people and encountered the thoughts of many wise men left in books about the world. I understand the human perspective, but seeing you, I suddenly became curious about how a rational ‘anomaly’ like you sees the world…”
“Ah ha, coming up with such a philosophical question right off the bat, truly worthy of a Truth Confidant,” Anomaly 077 clicked his tongue, “But haven’t you met Miss Alice? Why don’t you ask her?”

Ted Riel fell silent for a moment: “…I feel like she has no opinions about the world.”

“…Ah ha, then it seems you indeed have met Miss Alice,” the “sailor” laughed cheerfully, and then took another swig of beer, letting the liquid trickle onto the deck as he looked up, “Your question about my view? Well, I think this world might as well be destroyed.”

Ted Riel frowned at these words instinctively.

“That’s what you asked for, Mr. Confidant.” Noticing the change in Ted’s expression, the “sailor” turned his head to look for a moment before his gaze returned to the sky, “And don’t you think so? The sun has been extinguished twice; city-state-level calamities occur time and again; objects of desecration and exile keep awakening and returning. In my eyes, this world is full of cracks, shadows, voids, and dying noises… You noble and steadfast people—I mean no sarcasm—you spend all day trying to patch up this world, but think about it with that scholarly reasoning of yours… Can it still be mended?”

Ted Riel furrowed his brows but didn’t respond. He hadn’t expected that a mere casual inquiry out of curiosity would yield such an answer, and the sailor’s attitude took him by surprise—the answers didn’t seem casually given but rather like conclusions drawn from long and serious contemplation, as if this “anomaly” had been observing and thinking about this world for a very long time.
