"The Deceptive God is the source of these monsters' power?"
Lin Tianming listened to the information provided by Hua Yufei and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No wonder he always felt that the aura of the Deceptive God, the Lord of Winter, he encountered last ti in the Ice Secret Realm, was actually very similar to the demonic aura of the monsters.
But compared to the demonic aura of the monsters, it lacked the impurity and was more pure.
So the Deceptive God is the source of these monsters' power!
Hua Yufei continued: "I have never encountered a Deceptive God myself. My understanding of them cos from a few missions to the Land of Calamity, where I learned about them from so ancient stone tablets. Whether it's true or not, I can't say."
Lin Tianming wasn't surprised that Hua Yufei hadn't encountered a Deceptive God.
From what he knew about the inner voices of Ye Qingxue and the other reincarnated goddesses, none of them had encountered a Deceptive God during this period in their past lives. So didn't even know about the Deceptive Gods at this ti.
It was only later, when they beca gods, that they gradually learned about the Deceptive Gods, which were even more terrifying than the demonic creatures of the God Realm.
However, Lin Tianming did not agree with the idea that not encountering Deceptive Gods in their previous lives ant they wouldn't appear before the demonic tomb seal was broken.
That only proved that the demonic tomb seal hadn't shown signs of unsealing in their previous lives like it did in this one.
The Deceptive Gods might have already descended in the previous life, but their fate didn't lead them to encounter these already descended Deceptive Gods early on.
As for the early revival of the Lord of Winter, who was suppressed in the Ice Secret Realm, it was definitely due to the butterfly effect caused by their reincarnation and Lin Tianming's arrival as a transmigrator.
No matter which analysis was more likely, Lin Tianming, who had crossed over and repeatedly encountered Deceptive Gods, needed to be careful.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming, who was very concerned about the girl in the yellow dress, looked at Hua Yufei.
"Sister Hua, do you have the ability to access all the surveillance cara recordings along the last subway line tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yufei, though Lin Tianming didn't explain specifically, had already guessed his intentions.
"Junior Tianming, are you trying to investigate the girl in the yellow dress you ntioned?"
"Yes."
After receiving Lin Tianming's confirmation, Hua Yufei imdiately responded: "No problem, give about ten minutes, and I can get the information on the girl in the yellow dress you ntioned."
After patiently waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei got the footage they wanted.
The recordings accurately docunted the specific tis from when Lin Tianming and his two companions, as well as the three demonic people, boarded the subway, to when the girl in the yellow dress and the two mbers of the Yellow Clothes Society boarded, and finally to when Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei left the subway station together.
While Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei were studying the recordings, Hua Yufei notified a specialist to retrieve information on the girl in the yellow dress from the footage.
Soon, Hua Yufei received a ssage from the person providing the information.
However, upon seeing the ssage, Hua Yufei's brows slightly furrowed.
Noticing her change in expression, Lin Tianming, who was focused on the recordings related to the girl in the yellow dress, also paused.
"What's wrong, Sister Hua?"
Hua Yufei didn't respond imdiately but spoke after a mont: "I couldn't find any information on her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming imdiately thought of a possibility: "Couldn't find... Could it be a matter of access rights?"
Hua Yufei shook her head, denying his guess: "If it were an issue of access rights, the person searching for would have reminded not to ask further. He said nothing, which ans it's not an access rights issue."
Hua Yufei's explanation made Lin Tianming furrow his brows even tighter.
"The subway station's surveillance caras clearly captured her face. How could there be no information?"
"Although there is no information on the girl in the yellow dress, the person did send several photos related to her. Maybe you should take a look at this."
As Hua Yufei spoke, she uploaded the information from her phone to the computer and watched it with Lin Tianming.
The first photo showed the girl in the yellow dress at the Tianhui Square on the pedestrian street of DC District in the Imperial Capital.
However, the focus wasn't on the girl in the yellow dress but on a young couple. The girl in the yellow dress was just passing by in the background, captured with a familiar anxious expression that Lin Tianming recognized.
"This photo was taken by a young couple playing at Tianhui Square in DC District of the Imperial Capital and posted on social dia. The girl in the yellow dress happened to be there, taken a month ago."
Hua Yufei also conveyed all the additional information provided by the person who gave her the photo to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming carefully looked at the photo while listening to Hua Yufei's explanation of its origin.
"Next, let's look at this photo, taken in the Demon City of Kyushu. It's the second closest photo that person could trace online, dated a year ago. She is once again in the background, eating ice cream."
The photo jumped from the Imperial Capital to the Demon City. Although Lin Tianming found it a bit strange, he couldn't connect it to more useful information at the mont and continued to watch quietly.
However, in this photo taken in the Demon City, the girl in the yellow dress wore a satisfied smile.
This was the first ti Lin Tianming had seen her anxious face showing a smile.
"This one is from five years ago, taken in Donghai City. It was during the largest demonic invasion in Donghai City in the last ten years. The photo was taken by a brave photographer who captured it while fleeing. The girl in the yellow dress was also there, hiding from the demons with other passersby."
The tiline went from one month to one year, and then from one year to five years, making Lin Tianming feel a sense of unease.
"Sister Hua, don't rush to the next one, let take a closer look!"
Staring at the frightened face of the girl in the yellow dress in the photo for a while, Lin Tianming then said, "Sister Hua, show the photos from a month and a year ago again!"
Hua Yufei complied, letting Lin Tianming scrutinize them carefully.
After repeatedly watching them, Lin Tianming discovered an astonishing fact.
The girl in the yellow dress looked exactly the sa five years ago as she did now!
There was no change in her appearance, and she was still wearing a pale yellow dress.
Seeing Lin Tianming's rapidly changing expressions, Hua Yufei said aningfully, "It seems, Junior Tianming, you've noticed it too. Do you want to continue looking at the rest?"
"Yes, let's see the next ones!"
Lin Tianming nodded.
At the sa ti, his suspicion that the girl in the yellow dress was a Deceptive God grew stronger.
"This one is from ten years ago, taken in Mingshi City, the city where you were born, Junior Tianming..."
"This one is from thirty years ago, taken in the southern border of Kyushu..."
"This one is from fifty years ago, taken at Tiangui Pass in the Northern Yin Region. The photo was later uploaded to the internet to docunt people and events of the past..."
"This one is from eighty years ago, taken in Eiffel City in North Luozhou, published in a newspaper. This ti, she is finally not in the background but was captured by the photographer with the headline 'The Girl from Kyushu'."
"This one is from one hundred and ten years ago, before the demonic tomb was sealed, taken in Western Shu of Kyushu. This is the last photo; she is still in the background of soone else's photo."
"From this point on, they are not photos but paintings, starting one hundred and fifty years ago, also in the Imperial Capital of Kyushu..."
"This painting is from one hundred and seventy years ago, reportedly from Sakura Island. It's unclear if the girl in the yellow dress in the painting is her, but it depicts a girl in a yellow dress being worshipped by a group of fanatical followers, looking terrified. The person who provided with the painting thought the expression and clothing were very similar, so they sent it to ."
After carefully examining the photos and paintings related to the girl in the yellow dress, Lin Tianming felt his brain was a bit oxygen-deprived and needed to process this vast and bizarre amount of information.
As ti went back further, the photos transitioned from color to grayscale, with the years growing more distant, yet the face of the girl in the yellow dress showed no signs of aging.
It is indeed possible to find two people who look very similar but are not related by blood in this world.
But it's impossible for every one of them to wear a yellow dress, right?
The girl in the yellow dress, the Yellow Clothes Society, the black mist more eerie than demonic energy, the tattered yellow clothes, the holy golden butterfly, the aura similar to the Deceptive God, the Lord of Winter...
Connecting all these pieces of information he knew, Lin Tianming was certain that these girls in yellow dresses from different eras in the photos were not different but similar people. They were the sa person!
No... the sa Deceptive God!
If the girl in the yellow dress was a Deceptive God, what would her na be?
Flashes of the na "Lord of Winter" crossed Lin Tianming's mind, and he had a thought.
The Mistress of the Yellow Dress?
For so reason, Lin Tianming felt that this na sounded a bit strange.
