Chapter 122 White Night: Faust, does this face remind you of anything?



Chapter 122 Bai Ye: Faust, does this face remind you of anything?

The unique holy grail that gathered the power of the Ten Commandments shone with dazzling brilliance. The lingering blue and red colors almost covered the entire room. The offshore platform made a low rumbling sound, as if it was affected by some huge force and could not support the weight of the entire platform.

“Is this power…going to collapse?”

Shuise looked at the wildly shaking building in shock. The steel and iron frames were put together, and the iron body was constantly twisting in the vibration.

"It seems like it's about to collapse. What's going on? Is the power of the Ten Commandments really that strong? No, this feeling..."

Red Heart blocked the incoming red and blue light and covered his eyes with his arms to prevent his vision from being covered by the red and blue light that seemed to be wriggling with life.

“The colors…”

Lily of the Valley's voice trembled a little as she looked at the squirming red and blue. As a "saint" of vitality, she realized that the two entangled colors in front of her were actually alive.

"Wait, the truth of this world will soon be revealed to you... Before facing death, it is enough to know such a hidden truth."

The queen sighed complacently, and she made another stroke. Those golden threads of fate quickly faded away in the ever-expanding red and blue. In the almost solidified red and blue space, a space door was slowly opening.

The door was very similar to the demon game in the DM system, but with some subtle differences.

The moment the red and blue door appeared, a heavy weight seemed to be pressed down on everyone as if gravity could be adjusted. Both the red heart and the water color were pressed to the ground in an instant.

The surroundings suddenly became as silent as the starry sky. All the sounds of battle that should have existed above the ocean disappeared, as if there were no law enforcers outside the platform fighting the alienated descendants of the demon king who were trapped under the night tide.

Shuise covered his ears. The entire offshore platform was being reorganized amidst the vibrations. The stripped steel bars were overlapping each other. Amid the queen's humming, the entire darkroom was rising like an elevator.

“Ka-ka—”

The sound of the chains moving soon stopped. The crowd, who were almost in a trance because of the wriggling red and blue blocks, looked around, only to find that both the law enforcers and the monsters crawling out from the bottom of the sea had quietly stopped their actions, and lowered their eyes as docilely as lambs to the queen's chant.

"Are there still humans here?"

Shuise looked at the scales that were quickly covering the exposed skin of the law enforcers. The sea breeze was blowing, and the white sea mist had dissipated at some point. Hongxin looked at her wrist vigilantly and found that at some point, her wrist had also grown fish-like scales, just like those of the law enforcers working here.

In the sea fog, pairs of eyes made of mist are opening. They surround the queen and watch everything.

"That sea mist... is it your soul particle?"

Red Heart glared at Queen fiercely, who was humming a Muse song softly towards the dark blue ocean with the moon shining through the clouds, and asked: "The longer the law enforcers stay here, the higher the degree of conversion of the demonic factor you deliberately mobilized will be, right?"

Queen is also a descendant of the Demon King of the Abyss and Night Tide. As a half-demon and half-human being, coupled with her misty soul particles that can mobilize demonic factors, she can plant invisible "gene bombs" in everyone on Night Tide without anyone noticing, ready to detonate at any time.

Hongxin's eyes swept over Youyu and the others. A few scales had grown on Faust's cheeks, and the Squid Detective Agency and the others, it should be said, were lucky. They arrived at Yechao not long ago, so they survived.

No wonder when Queen mentioned the Squid Detective Agency, she did not hesitate and chose to believe that these high school students with great achievements could help her catch Wonder, who even the Law Enforcement Bureau was helpless to deal with. It turned out that it was because she had never trusted anyone in the first place, and she invited the Squid Detective Agency to come just to achieve her goal and catch everyone in one fell swoop.

"What on earth do you think of the Muse Band? The reason these people became the devil's followers they are now is entirely because you deliberately stimulated the devil factor in their bodies!"

Perhaps because the night tide arrived late, the water color was still relatively stable. He clenched his teeth and looked at the queen, one of his blood relatives from hundreds of years ago, who was standing under the red and blue door that was about to open, her skirt swaying in the sea breeze, and questioned helplessly.

But the queen just stood there, standing under the door of the Holy Grail where the red and blue Ten Commandments were gathered, standing above the blood of countless law enforcers who fell on the offshore platform and the descendants of the devil who turned into devil followers. The blood reflected the hem of her skirt, but she had no mercy on her fallen compatriots who were forced to lose their human form and become half-human, half-fish demons under her control.

Her eyes were cold and crazy, as if she was looking at a piece of trash, she swept over the bloody bodies lying on the ground, and with a crazy sense of conversion and longing, she looked at the door that was floating high in the sky, almost reflecting the ocean in red and blue, and was opening.

"Everyone in the surface world is just a lamb that I can deceive. The chairman of the Law Enforcer Bureau and the leader of the Demon Apostles, these two completely different identities can be played by me so realistically and without any flaws. This shows how boring this world is."

The queen clasped her hands together like a nun praying: "But the Senate is different. Only the extremely powerful can join it. They can even manipulate the wheel of fate and control the future in the temple of 'God'."

Queen glanced at the angry Shuise and said, "Since we both have the blood of the foolish Night Tide Demon King who fell in love with humans, I only ask you one question: Shuise, my descendant, why should I continue to stay in this deserted ocean and guard the remaining power of the boring Demon King with my foolish relatives?"

"They blocked my progress, but they couldn't even provide me with the positive effects of the remaining power of the Demon King to build the Night Tide Prison. Naturally, I have to transform these guys into something useful to me."

Queen chuckled: "For example, a demon that can help the fusion of the Ten Rings Token."

She clapped her hands, and countless soul-like white mist emerged from every law enforcer and fish-shaped demon. She slowly clenched her palms, ignoring the water color that rushed towards her and said confidently: "It's time to open this door for me, Zhenhong."

It was another familiar name. Youyu and Linglan, who rushed over to stop Shuise, paused. Hongxin, who was aiming his burning fist at the door that was about to open, hesitated for a second. No one was unfamiliar with this name: the head of the Leather Tower Archives, a famous spider barrier master, and also the current secretary general.

Communicate between the four leaders and the Senate, and the secretaries-general of the three chairmen.

Hongxin's eyes flickered slightly like burning fire, and the ends of her wavy hair behind her also swayed in the arc of fire.

I didn't expect that the entire Law Enforcement Bureau, even Zhenhong, who often attended the Leaders' Meetings, was a member of the Senate. Then who else -

Just as her pessimistic thoughts came to her mind, a somewhat confused and angry questioning voice rang out, and Shuise's resolute movement suddenly stopped, and the strings that had not yet been cut were suspended in mid-air. Linglan and Youyu were ready to rush over to stop the desperate Shuise, but they were also stunned because of the sudden change. The winding vines had been summoned by Linglan, ready to pull Shuise back to a safe area at any time, but now they could only maintain a slightly funny posture in mid-air.

Blood splattered in the air, red, large patches of red rushed out of the queen's body, and a huge spider broke out from her chest from the inside out. The queen wanted to look back in disbelief, but before she could, her heart was torn out from her body by the blood-red spider.

"Why...?"

The woman who had been pursuing authority and privilege all her life fell in a pool of blood, her eyes unable to close, staring at the person behind her.

The thin mist on the sea surface dissipated the moment the queen fell. The growth rate of the scales on all the people's bodies stopped instantly, and blood splashed on the stunned Shuise's face. The culprit who was so arrogant just now and caused the Muse music band to have to tour the world has now been disemboweled, and a blood-red spider is silently biting the lifeless body of the queen.

"Excuse me."

Shuise turned his head stiffly with difficulty, and Wonder, hidden in the night, also cast his eyes in the direction of the sound. They both saw a familiar young woman wearing the harmless Solomon College uniform, with a blood-red ponytail that seemed to be stained by the blood of the queen lying on the ground.

"I'm afraid I scared you all, right? Please allow me to explain. This spider is just a human body barrier that I planted when the Senate of Gaotian selected the queen. Its function is to be detonated by me the moment the queen is no longer needed. Please rest assured, you don't have such a thing on your body, and I have no way to place it."

Zhenhong bent down and picked up the pen on the ground. There was silence all around and no one spoke.

Even Faust, who was standing behind the Queen with his fingers on the ice sword condensed behind his back, was stunned by the dramatic scene in front of him.

"It's a pity that the queen originally thought that this door was the path to becoming a god. Let me explain that this is not the case. It was just the queen's own misunderstanding. This door that holds the Ten Commandments has been the door connecting the sky where the Senate is located and the surface world since the beginning."

At this point, Zhenhong looked at the Queen who died with her eyes wide open and sighed with regret: "The Queen is too selfish. She used her musical tricks to adjust and manipulate everything in the world, but she forgot that she was also one of the people who could be abandoned at will."

"What about you?" You Yu's voice was a little hoarse.

Zhenhong turned her head and looked at him indifferently: "Are you talking about me? To the Queen, everyone in the surface world is a lamb that can be deceived, but to me, I would say she is a necessary price."

"You are all distinguished guests of the Senate. It seems that some rumors have caused some misunderstandings in the human brain. It's okay. Welcome to the real Senate. In the Hall of the Gods that guards the Gate of Destiny, the elders and I will explain these misunderstandings to you in detail."

"If there's a chance."

She stretched out her hand, a gentle and polite smile on her lips, but it was more terrifying than the crazy queen.

"Open the door--!"

She shouted loudly, as if chanting some ancient secret method. Hongxin instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but there was no time to react. The red and blue door that was faintly opened quickly opened, and countless golden silk threads meandered out from it, directly entangled around wonder and Youyu's waists, and dragged the two in without hesitation.

There's no point in reacting.

Hongxin gritted her teeth and thought, the terrifying door that gathered the power of the Ten Commandments was now emitting a god-like pressure. Even someone as powerful as her could not move her body under such pressure. She could only watch Wonder and Youyu being dragged into the desperate door.

"What a joke!" Faust was closest to Youyu, and he reflexively reached out and grabbed Youyu, gritting his teeth to fight against the suction inside the door. Ice and snow spread on the surface of the platform, freezing his and Youyu's legs. Faust raised his head and glanced at the wide-open red and blue door. Wonder was the first to be pulled in, and his figure had disappeared and could not be seen anymore.

"Wait! Where's Wonder?"

You Yu was so panicked that he even reached out his hand towards the red and blue door.

"Don't worry about Wonder for now! Stay away from that door! That door gives off a very bad smell—"

Faust cursed and tried to push Youyu out of the range of the red and blue door made by the Ten Commandments token, but the effect was poor. Under the pressure, he was unable to move except holding Youyu's hand.

The moment he realized this, the ice and snow on the platform melted quickly. Even though Faust inserted the ice sword deeply into the platform, he could not change the arrangement of the thread of fate, and was forcibly dragged into the red and blue door.

Hong Xin closed her eyes, trying to tell herself that the end of the road had not yet come. She quickly thought of a response strategy. When she opened her eyes, she found that Shuise and Linglan had also chased after her, shouting, "Youyu, wait for us! Don't get out of the team!"

Hong Xin closed her eyes and began to tell herself that everything in front of her was just an illusion.

"It's okay, Sister Redheart."

Zhenhong walked lightly to Red Heart with the attitude of a winner, bent down and looked at Red Heart who was suppressed by the Ten Commandments token, his fiery red eyes were full of insatiable resentment and unwillingness.

"Do you regret saving me from that devil's game now?"

Hongxin suddenly looked up and looked into the deathly bloodshot eyes of Zhenhong. In an ordinary mission, Hongxin saved a high school girl who was facing a terrifying demon monster, but chose to stand in front of her companions, even though she was trembling and about to faint. It was after that mission that Zhenhong, who had not even awakened her soul tag, joined the Law Enforcer Bureau and became a law enforcer, and then worked his way up to the important position of Secretary-General.

But unexpectedly, Hong Xin shook her head seriously: "I don't regret it, because I didn't save the secretary general who was in cahoots with the Senate, but a high school student with a future in mind."

Zhenhong looked at those gem-like red eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Don't worry, Sister Hongxin. They just went to the place where everyone else will go in advance. That is the starting point of all destinies. I will not close this door. You can also try your best to see whether you can give us more soul particles or..."

Zhenhong smiled, turned around and walked into the door.

"Then we can only wait and see. My mission is accomplished. Farewell, Sister Redheart."

Behind her, the red and blue door closed slightly, leaving only an imperceptible gap.

Inside the red and blue door, in a corner of a temple above the clouds.

After falling, Faust opened his eyes and met a pair of eyes with unique red pupils like the starry sky.

"You finally woke up. I thought I was going to have a funeral here."

Bai Ye was still dressed as wonder. He said something sarcastically and stood up only after confirming that Faust was fine.

"…You woke up much earlier than me. What great discoveries have you made?"

The corner of Faust's mouth twitched. Although he told himself a hundred times that the thief in front of him was just an 18-year-old high school student under the skin, a high school student that he felt ashamed of, he still couldn't help but stab back.

The Phantom Thief shook his head: "I only know that this is definitely not the place that Shinku wants us to go, and..."

Bai Ye turned around and took off the mask on his face for the first time as the Phantom Thief Wonder.

"I wanted to ask you this when I was in Ink City... Faust, why do you hate me? Does this face remind you of someone?"
