Chapter 123 Faust: How much do you know about King?



Chapter 123 Faust: How much do you know about King?

"I hate you...? Are you kidding me?"

Faust laughed dryly, trying to hide the shock in his eyes: "Instead of going crazy here, you might as well come with me to find where Youyu and the others ran off to. I watched those three guys rush in together."

They were on a long platform of a strange building that looked like a temple suspended in the air. Every structure was built with a simple structure that was both special and direct, giving people a sense of the future civilization in science fiction novels. However, the magnificent building materials were like the Pantheon in ancient times, with a terrifying divinity that made people feel frightened.

Looking around from the long road that has never been capped, one can clearly see the intertwining and winding golden circular buildings suspended in the pure white clouds. Rather than a temple, they look more like part of a huge integrated creation.

“Ka-ka—”

In the extreme silence, only the sounds of the circular movements that rotate like an orrery can confirm to Faust and Wonder that they are alive.

"Okay, let's change the question."

Bai Ye stared at Faust's blue eyes until the latter took a barely noticeable step back, then he withdrew his gaze.

Faust breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what exactly is this place? You didn't show any shock when you saw the huge building floating in the clouds. I can only assume that you are quite familiar with this place."

Faust felt that he had relaxed too early.

“Are you a psychiatrist?”

When Faust heard himself say this, he lowered his head and pressed his forehead, feeling that non-existent blood vessels were trembling.

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm just very good at observing your emotions."

Bai Ye did not take the mask back. He hung the half mask diagonally on the cloak on his chest, and said with a sarcastic tone, "After all, you can be said to be the person I pay the most attention to in the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau."

Faust trembled. This time he was completely sure that Bai Ye was being sarcastic to him, and if he really planned to say nothing, this sarcasm would probably continue.

"...I surrender. I'll tell you sooner or later anyway... You've seen it too, the golden building that rotates like a planetarium and protects the central disk, surrounded by soft clouds like in the fairy tale picture book. You already have your guesses in your mind, so I don't think I need to explain it so clearly."

Faust half raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. He sighed and looked at the huge disk in the distance. Its shape was so exaggerated that it could be clearly seen at the edge. It was the deepest part of the core of the surrounding ring.

The function of all the golden rings around it is to protect it.

"Wheel of Fortune."

Bai Ye touched his chin, and the t173 player was also holding his breath and being terrifyingly quiet in his mind. He summarized the fragments provided by the t173 player from the road of exploration of destiny in his mind, and spit out the battlefield when Youyu faced the last demon king - Qingfeng and the demon king of destiny in the final boss battle.

It commands, calculates, depicts and manages the fate of all living things. It is a companion to the birth of the world and is constantly rotating in a special space in the sky.

It exists, records, and quietly watches everything, hiding itself in the depths of the sky, just walking forward alone without making any sound.

Just like a clock that keeps ticking, it moves the years forward.

It is also the only basis in Faust's memory for the Queen and K's Senate to realize the daydream-like fantasy. As long as they can tamper with the wheel of fortune, no matter where the future goes, they can control the whole world to fall into the path they have paved.

The so-called new world, the so-called moment of the birth of gods, is not an illusory fantasy.

"I have been here before under the guidance of the queen."

Faust looked at the exquisite golden wheel of fortune that was constantly spinning like a spinning wheel at the highest point. Every tangled golden thread on it represented a person's destiny.

"Here, I followed Queen, that extremely self-centered crazy woman, to meet the Senate's connecting envoy, that is, Zhenhong, and... K, who is in charge of the New World Project - the Senate generally calls it the Eden Reconstruction Project."

Faust pressed his brows. He looked more tired than when he was in the City of Ink. Although he was persuaded by Bai Ye and others to temporarily give up the plan of using the dreams of death from outer space to resist the DM system's collection of souls, deep in his heart, he was actually waiting for the expansion of dreams behind the City of Ink. He did not agree with his plan as much as he thought.

If only by being caught in a dream of death can one resist the DM's collection of soul particles, doesn't that prove that humans are truly powerless in the face of the almighty Senate and...

But deep down in Faust's heart, he was obviously unwilling to admit this. He grew up with Red Heart and carried out missions together. He wanted to believe more than anyone else that no matter what kind of disaster stood in front of the Law Enforcement Headquarters, they would not be helpless.

However, even the General Administration of Law Enforcement is just a pawn cast by a certain Senate to maintain the delicate order of the world. The sun they regard as their faith is nothing more than a black sun that is about to break.

So, when facing Bai Ye You Yu and others who had determination and hope as hot and blazing as the sun, he suddenly wanted to believe it again.

Perhaps deep in his heart, he did not want to open the so-called dream of death. Even at the moment before opening the dream, Faust was expecting someone to stop him and tell him: "Your plan is too extreme. I have a better one."

However, however...that person was Bai Ye.

It can only be daytime night.

Faust lowered his eyes, as if he was lost in some confused thoughts, and fell into silence for a long time.

Bai Ye did not disturb his thoughts. He touched his chin and began to poke the t173 player in his mind: Don't play dead, quickly introduce the current situation. Looking at Zhenhong's expression, we shouldn't go directly to the Wheel of Fortune now anyway, right?

The t173 player played electronic music for a long time, obviously struggling. It paused for a while, and finally spoke as if relieved: [Forget it, since you are here anyway, it doesn’t matter if you say it directly. This is the Wheel of Fortune in the clouds. To be honest, I was counting on you to collect the Ten Commandments to open the door. Fortunately, the final result is the same. 】

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows: So the task you gave me was to bring me here in the first place? Can I understand it this way?

The t173 player chuckled, and the guilty feeling was quickly diverted by it, and he returned to his previous frivolous tone: [Of course, host, you are free to understand it however you want, and all I need to do is let you follow the script. 】

Bai Ye thought for a moment: But no matter what, the current situation doesn’t seem to be going according to your script, why are you not panicking at all?

[This...] The t173 player felt the same despair as Faust. At least according to the written script, Bai Ye, disguised as Wonder, should appear in the Wheel of Fortune at the earliest after You Yu confronts the Senate and defeats the Harukaze and the Demon King of Fate released by the Senate, and have the final battle with the "protagonist".

But now, Bai Ye has arrived at the Wheel of Fortune before You Yu, and no one knows where the real protagonist was sent to by the out-of-control red and blue door.

"By the way, there is another question. Why did the red and blue door send Faust and I here against the will of the Senate? According to the script, Faust and I should be the last to arrive here. Youyu, the darling of fate, is the real protagonist of the Wheel of Fortune... Could it be that someone is hiding behind the scenes and changed the script?"

Bai Ye touched his chin and continued to reason in this way. However, the t173 player became obviously panicked: [Stop talking nonsense here, look over there, Faust is looking over here! Don't you want to ask him? Ask now! 】

It was so anxious that it seemed as if the t173 player was the villain who was confused on the battlefield in the final ending.

"You can ask now."

Faust held his forehead. For some reason, even though he had a very good memory and was a psychic, he felt a sharp pain in his brain when he recalled the information.

The pain was dull, like a spoon, slowly digging in and out of his brain. Especially when he thought about things related to K, the dull pain became more and more distinct, like a standing door. Even if Faust used his psychic abilities to violently open the door, the memory behind it became blurred.

Faust was horrified to find that it took him a long time to recall the general context in his mind, and those memories about K should have been the parts he remembered most deeply.

After all, compared to the executor queen, K, or King, that person is the real person in charge of the plan.

Bai Ye said, "How much do you know and how much can you tell me, Faust?"

Faust took a deep breath: "As far as I know, almost all."

The moment the last word fell, Bai Ye felt a sense of fear for the first time in a long time.

It's really strange. Facing an opponent like the Senate, facing a future where Lily of the Valley and Mizuiro would die, facing everything that was terrible and a ruined life, he didn't feel afraid at all, but now he clearly feels the emotion of fear.

Perhaps it was because… the discordant sound that appeared in his heart from the memory of Ink City: Which “me”’s memory is this?

He didn't know, but Faust's ability to view memories obviously only allowed him to see the memories of the person involved.

Faust did not appear in K and Queen's memory, and only Wonder was present.

The conversation between K and Q belongs to Bai Ye’s own memory. This fact has been placed in front of him, but Bai Ye cannot understand it.

He did not appear at the scene of that memory. If that memory belonged to him, then who was he...

A vine in the jungle at that time was the culprit who planned and organized all this...

K?

"What do you know about King?"

Faust spoke.
