Chapter 124 Faust: Yes, but it’s not you that I hate, it’s this face.
"One of the three chairmen of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, the founder of the entire Sun, the owner of the most outstanding and powerful soul label [Black Sun of the Red and Blue Holy Grail], and the only law enforcer in modern times who has entered the Senate composed of mythical beings with his strength."
Bai Ye told Faust without hesitation all the knowledge he had learned about King in Solomon College. He was the typical good student who memorized all the knowledge word for word. If it weren't for the unknown wheel of fate, Faust might have praised the other party out of his instinct as a guide.
However, those contradictions, confrontations of ideas, and obstacles in life became the most terrifying gap between the two people. Faust could not say those natural words in front of Bai Ye that could only be said between elders and relatives, and Bai Ye could no longer regard him as a senior worthy of respect.
It would be better to say that the current mode of getting along with each other with tit-for-tat is the most suitable for them.
"Yes... you are right, but I would like to add that this savior who is said to be able to defeat the devil is actually the one who is responsible for helping the Senate complete this plan."
Faust's eyes were trembling, his gaze was focused on his fingertips. Because of his emotional fluctuations, a few crystal clear snowflakes flickered on his fingertips, just as fragile as himself who came to the wheel of fate self-righteously expecting to change something.
"The Queen is just an executor. The price she paid to the Senate and the gift she received was the qualification to enter the new world where 'only gods can survive' by helping the King complete the plan. In the Senate's plan, all life in the surface world will become energy collected by the Holy Grail of the DM system, which will be used as energy to modify the wheel of fate and create the new world of 'Garden of Eden' where all the people in the Senate can become immortal gods."
"And this plan was entirely planned by King. He was already a member of the Senate before he implemented this plan."
Faust sighed, he could feel his voice trembling, but now he had no time to care about the details.
"The emergence of the DM system and the Devil Game are inseparable from him. As the newest member of the Senate, all the Devil Games have passed through his hands. Compared to the Queen, he is the fuse of the current chaos in the surface world. It is normal for me to hate him———"
Bai Ye interrupted Faust: "But this doesn't explain why you hate me."
Faust forced a wry smile: "Because I have seen his face."
His voice was not loud, it could even be described as weak.
As faint as... as if it were a dead soul that could no longer breathe.
"Bai Ye." Faust seemed to be trying his best to call out his name. "You know what? This face of yours is exactly the same as King's. That guy also has a pair of special eyes with deep blue and blood-red pupils. Those eyes are exactly the same as his soul particles. It's simply you in the wonder state."
Faust hugged himself, he only followed the Queen to the Senate built by the Wheel of Fortune to meet the King once, but it was only that one time, and the fear that penetrated deep into his bones was deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.
King does not look like a human being. When he appeared in the surface world, the blurry layer covering his face was removed, and the exposed eyes were inhumanly dead. Even the flames burning in the empty eyes of the dead Death Lord Mitran were more lively than those of King.
Those were a pair of empty, numb eyes, as if they existed only for some reason. In the depths of those blue and red eyes, there was an uncontrollable madness and a determination to destroy the entire world. The pressure that came from the soul almost made Faust, who was already sensitive to the spiritual system, reveal a flaw in front of the Queen. If he hadn't closed his senses in time for a few seconds, he would probably have really not been able to help but rush up and stab King.
Because it is really dangerous, extremely dangerous. It is not something that the life in the surface world can fight against. If possible, he would rather use his tattered body cursed by death to kill King.
Unfortunately he couldn't do it.
"Do you know how devastated I was when I saw you, the key to the Senate's prophecy?"
Faust sighed. He had never shown such weakness when talking about the queen.
Bai Ye looked at him blankly. The t173 player in his mind had been silent for a long time, but he could still hear a voice from deep in his heart murmuring: Which me is that? Which one is which self? Why can't I remember it?
"The only person who can influence the script of the Pen of Fate created by the Immune Senate using the power of the Wheel of Fate, who was repeatedly told by the Senate to keep a close eye on you and never deviate from the copy, actually has the same face as King. What do you think I will think?"
Bai Ye took a deep breath. Although his condition was much more stable than Faust's, his fingertips were trembling. "If I were you, I would definitely think that the so-called key was made by King to ensure that the plan is foolproof."
Faust smiled bitterly: "...But you know what? For me, that key is the only way for me to rebel against the Senate through other means, without having to embark on the path of awakening the dream of expanding death. Only those who are pointed out by the Senate themselves and are not bound by the pen of fate can rebel against the script. Otherwise, no matter how much we do, it will only be noise that can be covered up by Queen, Shinku, or even King with a casual stroke."
Bai Ye nodded: "So you had strong malice towards me the moment you saw me. I felt a little puzzled when I felt that malice. Even if you are really a useless law enforcer who only cares about your position, you shouldn't hate me so deeply when you saw me."
Faust folded his arms and took a step back. "But now it seems that those were all my immature worries, so our cooperation will end after trying to change the wheel of fate. Don't worry, you and Youyu will become heroes, and I will enter the Night Tide Prison by myself and will not meet you again."
Bai Ye looked at him as if he were a fool: "Who asked you to lock yourself up in Yechao Prison?"
This time it was Faust's turn to be stunned: "It is a fact that I ruined your life."
Bai Ye nodded: "I know, but you also sent me to the Solomon College, which is run by Red Heart, the only law enforcer who can protect my safety, and you also sent me to You Yu and the others... Let's talk about the future later. After we solve the crazy plan of the Senate, I will have plenty of time to ask you for my interest back - by the way, thank you for helping me confirm the doubts in my heart."
Bai Ye waved his hand and ignored the confused Faust. He walked towards the place of the final battle in the memory fragment provided by the t173 player in front of him.
Faust looked at Bai Ye's leaving back. Perhaps because he had stayed in the detective agency for too long, even the arc of his waving became very similar to You Yu's.
"What a messy high school student."
Faust sighed, gave a helpless smile, and quickened his pace to catch up.
They were at the Wheel of Fortune sunk deep in the clouds, and the interlaced spaces between the wheels deep within the Wheel of Fortune obviously provided a good opportunity for the Senate. Those wheels that had decayed and no longer rotated were later artificially transformed into passages, and at the end of the passage, which was as wide as a temple avenue, was a huge platform from which one could have a panoramic view of the core of the Wheel of Fortune's rotation.
Golden light flickered above the platform, and a huge wheel of fortune was spinning. Countless outer wheels and the spinning wheel in the core were entangled with countless silk threads. You Yu and the other two, who had arrived here in advance guided by the silk threads of fortune, were standing under the wheel, marveling at the magnificence of the wheel of fortune.
"Faust, wonder!"
You Yu waved his hand. Bai Ye had already put on a mask on the way, so he was not worried about exposing his identity. When he saw You Yu greeting him, he was in a very good mood and pointed to the poker cards in his empty hand as a polite gesture.
The entire platform was extremely vast, consisting of huge crisscrossing cross wheels. The surroundings were still dead silent. There were no people from the Senate who were supposed to be here, nor was there Zhenhong. Under the most critical Wheel of Destiny, there was only the breathing sound of a few outsiders.
But this is exactly the place where Youyu fights one of the last few bosses, the incarnation of Qingfeng and the Demon King of Fate.
It is also the place where the final battle between the detective and the thief takes place.
The final battle...
Bai Ye touched his chin. Since player t173 was also the one who maintained the script, the ending in "The Evil City" was no longer credible.
In the plot line of the script, Wonder and Youyu were supposed to decide the winner in the final battle. Wonder would die at the hands of Youyu, and Youyu would be alone, throwing himself into the Wheel of Fortune with the token of the Ten Rings, rewriting the already written script.
The plot setting in the game is like this, but after Bai Ye knew that "The Wicked City" was not a high-dimensional game at all, but a script written by the Senate, the ending in which Youyu rewrote the script would no longer exist.
It is very likely that Youyu is just a tool for the Senate to collect the power of Qingfeng and the Demon King of Destiny, and this tool will be thrown into the Wheel of Fortune along with the Ten Commandments, completely anchoring their future of becoming gods.
This is the real script, and Wonder is just a booster of this script, making Youyu believe that his death can end it all, but he doesn't know that the Senate only uses him as a key to open a new world.
"This place gives me a very bad feeling, like the calm sea before a storm..."
Shuise clenched the strings of the zither in his hands. Since entering the red and blue door, although the surroundings have been very peaceful, Shuise felt that the unknown enemy was more terrifying.
"The threads of fate...are constantly extending forward. They are very excited and want me to enter the core of the wheel of fate."
You Yu raised his head, his expression was obviously affected to some extent, his golden eyes became dimmer and dimmer, he couldn't control his body, he stretched out his hand, but before he entered the silk net covering the core of the Wheel of Fortune, a hand grabbed his wrist.
Wonder suddenly pulled Youyu back and said, "Calm down, look, something is wrong there!"
You Yu suddenly raised his head.
In the core of the Wheel of Fortune, a tiny black sphere was suspended and rotating in the air. During its rotation, the entangled red and blue pixel colors could be seen from different angles.
"What is that?"
As soon as Youyu finished speaking, Wonder heard a scream suddenly exploding in his mind.
[Listen, you must not touch that thing! That's the culprit of all this! We have to bypass him and absolutely cannot wake him up. 】
I wonder, it's been a long time since I've been cursing in my heart, but the t173 player is still telling riddles here. Why can't he just directly tell me who the other party is?
But there would definitely be no problem in retreating as soon as possible. He and Youyu both instinctively felt the extreme danger and quickly turned around and retreated towards the entangled golden wire net, but it was too late.
"Wonder! Youyu!"
Faust was horrified. He had just seen the red and blue ball of light floating in the Wheel of Fortune. The next second, those golden threads that were originally floating quietly seemed to come to life in an instant and rushed towards Wonder and Youyu.
"Walk!"
There was no time at all. Wonder suddenly pushed Youyu out of the coverage of the golden lines, but the golden lines still chased Youyu, leaving him no chance. Seeing this, Youyu quickly distanced himself from Wonder, trying to lead away the golden lines to at least ensure Bai Ye's safety, but...
However, the moment Youyu pulled away, those golden threads suddenly rushed towards Wonder whose eyes were completely focused on Youyu.
"Wait! Wonder!"
Youyu didn't care about anything at that moment. He rushed over and grabbed wonder's arm tightly, but the other half of wonder's body had been completely pulled into the range of the golden wire network. Faust rushed over and grabbed Youyu, fixing his feet with ice. He began to scold King with curses, but Shuise patted Faust's shoulder while holding Youyu with a trembling voice.
"What's up?"
Faust asked in his calmest voice possible.
"No, no, no, I just want to ask...the person you just scolded...was he?"
Faust turned his head sharply.
Countless golden shadows suddenly appeared, looking at them from afar at the other end of the distant circular avenue. Although there was some distance, they could still see the two shadows walking in the front, the only ones that looked relatively clear.
A man wearing the uniform of the Law Enforcement Administration, with a windbreaker, a blurred face, and the badge on his chest was engraved with King.
The other one was wearing a red and white kimono, with flowing silver hair, but was younger in stature.
It’s King, and the one who appeared on Yedao Island…Shinto Lehu, the mountain god of Tanghong Mountain.
Zhenhong stood aside, with lowered head and submissive eyes, quietly waiting for the orders from the Supreme Being.
"I see, so this is the true face of the Senate... a self-righteous god elevated by the demons and humans who believed in it... No wonder they want to turn humans into a force that makes them gods themselves."
You Yu gritted his teeth and said sarcastically.
"After all, how can a god who has been followed for thousands of years accept modern people's choice to abandon their faith?"
Wonder also said in a sarcastic tone.
I can't accept that one day I might not be a god.
The shadows of the Senate flickered in the golden glow. The power of the golden thread became sharper and sharper. Youyu could no longer hold on and was pulled away from his balance. He and Wonder fell into the network of golden threads.
Faust and the water lily of the valley were also pulled into the golden network by this terrible force. The shadows suddenly watched all this, and after seeing those people's figures completely disappear in the golden network of the Wheel of Fortune, those vague shadows slowly raised the corners of their hideous mouths like ghosts.
"You ignorant mortals, even the four demon kings with whom we once reached a cooperation agreement have now become the power to change fate. Do they think that they can change everything with their own uniqueness? What a naive energy."
"This time, the battle between Qingfeng's Demon King and Youyu has also been successfully omitted. That's great. We can just throw them all into the Wheel of Fortune for refining."
The shadow behind King smiled happily: "Our Garden of Eden is about to be recreated successfully."
King looked at Shinku without any emotion. "We have seven days to implement the Wheel of Fortune script. The rest of the time, how to deal with the surface world is up to you."
Zhenhong lowered his head quickly, and a faint light flashed in his blood-red eyes.
Shinto Lehu saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at the Wheel of Fortune that had returned to calm and let out a sigh.
