Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Hm?

Destruction?

Originally, Herbert didn’t take it seriously, but upon catching the dangerous word "destruction," he realized something was wrong.

He set aside all disdain and seriously listened to the will conveyed to him by "Jumping Egg" Belinda, analyzing it carefully.

After a while, Herbert finally sorted out the fragmented messages from Belinda and roughly understood what it wanted to convey to him.

It’s warning him.

According to Belinda, deep within the Mist Mountain Range lies an abyss that is bottomless, harboring a terrifying entity known as "Silence."

This terrifying entity usually remains dormant in the abyss, unlikely to emerge, but once it does, it will destroy all life and plunge the entire mountain range back into dead silence.

And now, it has awakened.

Belinda constantly reminds Herbert to be careful and cautious, not to do anything that might attract its attention.

"..."

After hearing the news from Belinda, Herbert furrowed his brows deeply, feeling a dangerous sense of unease.

Regarding the authenticity of the news, Herbert maintained a half-believing skepticism—not believing, yet believing.

Although he thought Belinda had no reason to deceive him, such an absurd event still felt too sudden.

There are many points to doubt.

Firstly, if such a terrible entity indeed exists, why are there no traces left in the Mist Mountain Range?

Shouldn’t the so-called "Great Silence" have made quite a commotion? How come the outside world is completely unaware?

Although the Mist Mountain Range is known to be a dangerous forbidden area, many risk-taking adventurers still explore its outskirts, seeking opportunities.

Did these people just coincidentally miss it every time, without feeling a thing?

Moreover, the most important question is... does the Archbishop know about this?

If he knew, why has there been no record left in the Mist Monastery? Why haven’t all the holy professionals been warned?

And if even the invincible Deng doesn’t know... then the danger level of this matter is quite frightening.

Being able to silently unleash several "Great Silences" right under the Archbishop’s eyes, what level is its power exactly?

Of course, despite many reasons for doubt, Herbert decided to heed Belinda’s warning and stay vigilant.

Better to believe it might be real than to dismiss it.

Even if there’s the slightest chance of this news being true, Herbert will not let his guard down concerning the safety of his base.

After all, he promised Valentina and the others that this would be their paradise, the home for their future life, having put in considerable effort. How could he let it become a perilous place riddled with danger!

Isn’t this my blissful home? How did it suddenly turn out like this!

What will become of our Elda...

After a moment of helpless muse, Herbert set aside his complaints and asked Belinda some key questions.

"Why do you know all this?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"What do you want?"

If the news is true, then its value isn’t low, so why did Belinda willingly tell him? What’s it looking for?

Belinda’s identity as a Jumping Egg is shrouded in mystery; what has it been trying to acquire during its time in Elda?

Herbert knew it harbored secrets, yet refrained from probing, waiting for it to disclose them voluntarily. Now seems an opportune time.

Speak!

Spill all the secrets for me!

But in response to Herbert’s crucial questions, Belinda offered a rather silent answer.

"I don’t ... know..."

Yes, that’s Belinda’s entire answer.

No matter what Herbert asked, its answer remained ’don’t know,’ even finding his questions perplexing.

Oh, how dare it feign ignorance?

Seeing the Jumping Egg so unappreciative, daring to resist in a crisis concerning Elda, Herbert showed no mercy, dispatching his strongest interrogator—Miss Xie Shen, who insisted on taking action.

"Investigate for me!"

Haha, this is the top interrogator in Elda, do you dare to look Her in the eye!!?

The answer is, Belinda truly dares.

"Beyond saving, give up."

After Nenasha initiated a probe into Belinda’s mind, She concluded with helplessness—Belinda wasn’t lying, it genuinely doesn’t know.

Belinda’s thought process is incomplete, probably not even matching a five or six-year-old child logically, confirming it genuinely doesn’t know anything.

Furthermore, it doesn’t possess a normal mind; more like it is in a half-dreaming state, holding just some fragmented thoughts.

Even the messages it recently told Herbert had only just suddenly come to its mind—not even an hour in its brain.

Rather than Belinda suddenly knowing these messages, it’s more like it had dreamed a dream while sleepwalking, glimpsing some fragmented information.

A dream?

Facing this conclusion, Herbert fell into prolonged silence.

And if it’s a dream, then there’s much more to consider.

The most critical point—are the messages authentic?

Before making any speculation, the premise must be that the information is true.
