Chapter 117 Yuga: If possible, I really hope you can remember me, my dear.
"I was wondering how Fanlan got the meteorite so quickly, but the meteorite is not the real token of the Ten Commandments. It turns out it's because of you. Mr. Demon King——"
Bai Ye was stunned for just a second before he reacted quickly. Demons are lives in the inner world formed by human malice and negative emotions, and the Demon King is the strongest among the indigenous people of the "inner world" which is opposite to the surface world. Bai Ye had long wondered why such a being would fall into a deep sleep and then be easily killed by Cube and Queen. The Demon King of Dusk Fire, who has the least ability to protect himself and is only good at attacking, did not die under the siege of the gods, let alone the Demon King of Meteorite who is in charge of death?
As long as the concepts they correspond to are not dead, the consciousness of the Demon King will not disappear. Bai Ye has long been thinking about what role the Demon King of Meteorite played in the whole incident. He did not expect that the other party did not really die at the hands of Queen and Cube.
“…”
Unexpectedly, the demon king Yuga of Meteorite, who looked like a bard in front of him, showed a very strange expression after hearing what he said. That expression was like when he went home to comfort his juniors during the New Year, and was shocked to find that every one of them was the best in the school.
"…What's wrong?"
The silence lasted too long, Bai Ye was a little speechless, he really couldn't help it, he couldn't allow himself and the devil in front of him to continue staring at each other, so he interrupted the silence.
"Ah, no, no, no, it's nothing, just think of it as an old man's melancholy."
Yuga sighed, "I just feel like I am quite popular with smart people. Every time I come to a new world, the key figures I meet are all very smart. A certain guy named Xie was like this, a certain general was like this, and a certain moon elemental psychotherapist was like this too."
Bai Ye keenly sensed the nostalgic emotion in Yuga's voice, and captured some key information: "Every world?"
"You really know how to grasp the key points, Nuo."
Yuga sighed in his beautiful voice that sounded like he was chanting a hymn, his fingertips moving in the air, light green vines full of vitality condensed in the vine staff in his hand, the energies gathered together, and after solidifying, they turned into a very crystal clear black meteorite that could be described as colorful black.
That meteorite...is much bigger than the one Fanlan had gotten before.
"You don't need me to introduce you, do you? This is a meteorite that is one of the real Ten Commandments. It is the only one of the Ten Commandments that comes from outer space and cannot be replicated."
Yuga shrugged his shoulders: "As for why it turns into a green sun and falls into the primitive jungle of Ink City at a fixed astronomical time..."
Bai Ye thought deeply for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are you the same?"
Yuga snapped his fingers. "Bingo, you guessed it right. Let me introduce myself again. I am not only the Demon King of Meteorite, but also a traveler from outer space. You can think of me as a traveler wandering in various worlds in the universe. My job is a bard, and my purpose of coming to each world is to witness the end of civilization facing a catastrophe. This is why the underworld created by Faust using my power can block the perception of the queen and temporarily take back everyone's soul from the controlled wheel of fate."
Yuga looked at the meteorite in front of him, which was wrapped in slender light vines and became unusually vibrant, and sighed: "The meteorite is the power I brought from outer space. It and the crystal skull in the Ten Commandments are the source of my control over the power of death in this world... But this meteorite is different from the other Ten Commandments. The other Ten Commandments were exhausted when the Wheel of Fate separated the inner and outer worlds at the beginning of their birth. In the following thousand years, their power was absorbed by people many times. Even if they are recharged with the passage of time, they cannot show their peak power again. And this meteorite..."
Yuga narrowed his eyes and faced Bai Ye in front of him: "Thanks to King's efforts and protection, this meteorite is the only one that has never been used by anyone since the separation of the inner and outer worlds. It is the power closest to the original Ten Commandments token. Now, entrusted by someone--"
Yuga deliberately prolonged the tone of his voice, and it was clearly a pretentious tone, but because of the clear and ethereal timbre of a singer, it became like a judgment from God.
"I bring this meteorite to you to help you fulfill your wish of collecting all the Ten Commandments."
[What are you still standing there for?] ! This is a meteorite that has never been used! There is a sucker who helps us preserve it and offers it voluntarily. If we don’t accept it now, when will we accept it? Absorb it quickly! white night! Don't just stand there! Hello! What exactly do you want to do? 】
Before Bai Ye could even open his mouth, he felt his brain tremble as if it had exploded. From the depths of his soul, the t173 player who had been blocked and disappeared for a long time because of the existence of the underworld created by Faust suddenly jumped out, and as soon as he appeared, he let out a heart-wrenching and excited shout.
"Who entrusted you with this?"
Bai Ye ignored the voice in his head and instead asked the question that had been lingering in his heart ever since he met Yuga.
But Yuga didn't answer immediately. He just stared at the boy in front of him with his forest green eyes, which were lighter than lily of the valley. He soon showed a weird smile: "Oh, so the player is also with you. No wonder that person was so confident that I didn't need to make two meteorites. In this case, the wishes of 'two people' will be fulfilled at once. Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Yuga threw the meteorite in his hand like a toy, and the t173 player screamed in Bai Ye's mind: [Catch it quickly! 】.
But without his reminder, Bai Ye had already taken active action. He lunged forward and caught the meteorite steadily.
The light blue screen was too lazy to hide its existence any longer and jumped out directly, showing Bai Ye with satisfaction the three tokens of the Ten Commandments that they had collected.
Oh, there will be four of them in a moment. After all, Bai Ye’s purpose of wandering out at night this time is to find the crystal skull in Spade’s hand.
"I have another question..."
Bai Ye realized that Yuga probably knew more than he thought. No matter who entrusted the meteorite to him, the person who brought the meteorite, his purpose was probably certain, at least he was someone who was on the opposite side of the Queen and others.
Yuga stood there with his arms folded, his figure beginning to become transparent. "Since I only have a trace of consciousness left here, I still want to witness the end of this world. Tell me, what else is there? Deal with it quickly..."
Yuga stretched himself and even yawned again: "I will go back to sleep. I hope that this clone can still see the result of your fight against fate."
Bai Ye smiled. He didn’t know why. Perhaps he was influenced by You Yu. He felt inexplicably confident: “Don’t worry, you will see. The last question——”
Bai Ye's expression suddenly became serious: "Where's Hei Tao?"
Ever since Faust ended the spread of the underworld during the day and controlled the scope of the underworld in the jungle, even though the law enforcers scattered everywhere to collect the injured, due to the absolute advantage in numbers, no one found any trace of Spade.
Spade was another chosen sacrifice rescued by the Queen ten years ago. He had followed the Queen since he was a child. Even though Faust had taken him with him for a long time, it did not change Spade's nature as a steadfast subordinate of the Queen.
According to Faust, that guy would never betray the Queen. Since he disappeared here, he must have gone to inform the Queen.
Coupled with the crystal skull in Spade's hand, in a sense, Spade's whereabouts is the information that Bai Ye needs to confirm most now.
As the former Demon King, Yuga, who has the deepest knowledge of the underworld, is obviously the person most likely to know the whereabouts of Spade.
"...If that's what you're asking, I do know." Yuga sighed regretfully, "It was dealt with, very thoroughly."
Bai Ye showed a bewildered expression. Yuga sighed and walked towards the other direction of the temple complex: "You will know when you see it with your own eyes."
The winding vines spread ahead, guiding the final path. Bai Ye followed the floating Yuga and walked to the deepest part of the temple complex. That was a place that Bai Ye and his companions had never been to despite having come to this temple complex countless times before - the primitive jungle behind the huge final temple, the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.
This is already the area of the primitive jungle, with countless tall trees standing in rows. The jungle, which had lost its dark green color and was filled with mist, presented its true appearance in front of Bai Ye. In the depths of the jungle held up by the intertwined branches, Bai Ye took a deep breath.
He seemed to see something.
"Yes, this is the result of following the queen, no, following the Senate."
Yuga sighed and moved his body, which had become translucent, away. Bai Ye stared blankly at the plant-like body between the overlapping vines, and fell into a rare state of confusion.
Spade fell among the vines, his body completely crystallized. The texture of the crystal was different from that which had appeared on everyone before, it was more like the texture of a crystal skull.
And the crystal skull that he was controlling was rolling quietly to the side.
"Surprised?"
Yuga bent down, picked up the skull and handed it to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye nodded. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the new Ten Rings Token +1 that was displayed on the electronic screen with ecstasy.
At least no matter what, he never thought that Spade would die in such a corner at a time when no one knew about it.
"Spade was too deeply infected by the power of death. He originally appeared here as a sacrifice to the dead. Under the design of the Senate, he overused the power of the crystal skull, the token of the Ten Commandments. This thing is also the most evil one among all the tokens of the Ten Commandments. In the end, before he could escape from here and report to the Queen, he was turned into a crystal because of the backlash of the crystal skull."
There was no emotion in Yuga's voice, but he didn't need any emotion. After all, the purpose of his appearance here was to hand over the Ten Commandments to Bai Ye. The crystal skull was also one of the Ten Commandments, so a small favor was nothing.
"Okay, that's all my part. Now it's up to you and the detective."
His figure became more and more transparent. Just before he disappeared, he waved his hand: "If possible, I really hope you can remember me, dear..."
The last syllable disappeared in the wind as Yuga's figure dissipated. Bai Ye sighed. It didn't make sense for Yuga to deliberately conceal it even to this point. It seemed that there was another existence that didn't want to hear that specific syllable clearly, and that existence was probably related to the person who asked Yuga for help.
Bai Ye looked at Hei Tao lying in the pile of vines, hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and closed his eyes.
To be honest, we have come to this point largely due to external forces.
They are all just pawns being used.
The ninth level of the underworld, a temporary base.
Last night was a sleepless night. After a night's rest, everyone gathered together, and everyone had obvious dark circles under their eyes.
"Now that we know the conspiracy of the Senate and the top leaders of the Law Enforcement Bureau, what should we do next...?"
You Yu looked at Faust. Questioning and asking were no longer the top priority. Everyone knew that any time wasted now would turn into an advantage for the chairman deep in the night tide.
Facing the Senate and the Queen, the only thing they can do now is to deal a fatal blow before the other party reacts to Faust's betrayal.
Faust sighed and frowned, "I have to go to Night Tide Prison, because Queen and I agreed to meet there after success. If I am a few days late, she will get suspicious and come here to check the situation herself."
