"Alex, are these people serious on what they were saying?" After Alex admitted Alina’s suspicions, the latter just sighed as she knew that she hit the jackpot. "Are they really treating you as their high priest, and are they actually worshipping you?"

"...."

"Alex, answer me."

"...."

As much as Alina wanted to not believe what she was hearing, the actions shown by the hooded people confirmed her suspicions.

All of them were treating Alex as if he was some sort of god, and their extreme devotion just proves it more.

This revelation alone was enough to make Alina wary of this world, although most of her suspicions now lay on Alex alone.

"Alex, you can’t get out of my questions anymore, so answer me properly." Alina continued to say, as she knew that she must not stop on questioning Alex. "You know that my eyes can see your lies, so you better say the right answer-"

"Alina, who cares if these people are worshipping me! I never wanted to be worshipped by these lunatics! I came into this world for a mission, and being head of this... cult is not part of my plans!" Alex answered with certainty, although his wording did not actually tell Alina anything. "There that’s my answer, Alina! Satisfied now?"

"Alex, you just told me your opinion. What I want are the facts." Alina said flatly, with her eyes still treating Alex with suspicion. "So don’t use your flowery words on me and just say what we need to hear."

"..."

[PRAISE THE HIGHT PRIEST, ALEX! PRAISE THE ENVOY!]

Judging by the gestures and actions used by the hooded people, it was apparent that they will not stop on what they were doing.

Their determination earlier made that already obvious.

"...."

[PRAISE THE HIGHT PRIEST, ALEX! PRAISE THE ENVOY!]

Because of this unyielding action by these hooded people, both Alex and Alina were feeling all sorts of negative emotions as they were forced to listen.

"...."

Alex was of course looking extremely pissed, while Alina still retained her suspicious look.

"...."

The look of anger on Alex’s face made it obvious that he was feeling stressed again, something that made Alina feel pity for him.

Alex already had enough stress for the past few days, so shouldn’t he deserve some leeway, at least for now?

If this were just a normal day, then Alina could have stopped interrogating Alex already and just let him rest. With all the things that he had seen here, Alex definitely deserves a good sleep.

But the actions of these hooded people to Alex is not certainly normal, and it just made her suspicious of Alex.

If Alex can understand what these hooded people were saying, then why did he not tell it to Alina earlier? Why didn’t he just say that these people were worshipping him?

Alex was even hiding this fact, and the only reason that it was discovered was when the hooded people reverted to talking in a normal language!

Such action is worthy of suspicion, and the way that Alex tried to not state any fact just made things worse.

In this scenario, Alina could only grit her teeth as she knew that Alex was most definitely hiding a secret from them.

As for what this secret is, it is definitely related to the Abyss.

[PRAISE THE HIGH PRIEST, ALEX! PRAISE THE ENVOY!]

"Alex, I can understand why you are irritated. However, that’s not a good excuse for you to lie. I know for a fact that you are linked with these people, so don’t bother saying anything else. "Alina said as she patted Alex’s shoulders. "Any more lies will just be useless, ok?"

"...."

Alina’s voice might sound gentle, but the strained smile on her face made it apparent that she won’t be going to take it well if Alex tries to lie to her again.

"So Alex, please just tell the truth to me. Who knows, these hooded people could be related to our Main Mission. Because if that’s the case, then-"

"Hah? These people? Related to our main mission? There’s no way that can happen!" Alex vehemently denied, even before Alina could finish talking. "T-there’s no way these people can be our Main Mission. That’s just not right, you know? They are just, um, you know-"

"ALEX, YOU JUST TOLD ME YOUR OPINION AGAIN. WHEN THE F**K WILL YOU REALLY STATE THE TRUTH? COME ON, JUST ADMIT THAT YOU ARE BEING AFFECTED BY THE ABYSS ALREADY! HOW HARD CAN IT BE FOR YOU TO SAY THAT?"

"-What?"

The whole temperature inside the room dropped after Alina raised her voice, and it made everyone shiver inside shiver, Alex included.

This shiver did not come from the cold however, as it was caused by Alina’s potent anger.

"Alina, I-"

"Alex, you don’t need to hide it anymore. I am sure of it. You have been corrupted by the Abyss already, right?" Alina’s voice was dripping with venom as she said this, and it made Alex take one more step back.

"What, Alina? What are you saying? I can’t-"

"Tell me Alex, when did the Abyss corrupt you? Was it yesterday, or was it months ago? Come on Alex, tell it to me."

"Um-"

"And how deep did the corruption of the Abyss affect you now? I want to know it Alex, so please tell me everything already."

"...."

"..."

"Alex, this is not the time to be quiet, so-"

"Alina, you think that I am Corrupted by the Abyss? Hahaha, there is no way that can happen!" Alex almost shouted as he replied, with the tone of his voice full of certainty. This made him sound like he was telling the truth, but, but the pale hue on his face just made his claim sound erroneous.

"...."

"Come on Alina. You can see that I am still fine, right? Come on, you can see it, so don’t think that I have been corrupted!"

"..."

"Oi Alina, don’t stare at me like I am a poor animal! Promise, I was not corrupted by the Abyss at all! You can –"

"Alex, there’s no need for you to say anything. Your actions in this place already revealed that you have been corrupted by the Abyss. So please, just shut up." Alina’s voice reverted back to its calm demeanor, although the sharpness of her words did not disappear at all.

"...."

"My Eyes can see what is happening inside your body, Alex. I can see the evil energy spreading inside you , and I can see what they were doing. I can see all the bad effects that it was doing on you, and I can sense that if that evil energy continues to spread, something worse can happen to you."

"...."

"Alex, I can see the way that it was killing you, but I did not talk to you about it. You know why? It was because I want you to personally say about your problem! So please Alex, just talk to us properly!"

"..."

"Alex, please. Don’t keep this by yourself anymore. We’re your companions, so you should trust us."

[PRAISE THE HIGH PRIEST, ALEX! PRAISE THE ENVOY!]

"..."

"Alex, this is not the time for you to act proud. So please talk to us."

"..."

"Please."

"...."

"..."

"...."

"Fine, I admit it, Alina. Something has indeed caused me to be corrupted by the Abyss. Is that answer satisfying enough fo̶̩̰̊̏̉ṟ̴̷̗͚̂͛̉̐y̸̫̒o̶̖͔͒u̵̢̻̾͋?"
