"Am I different than I was before?"

After the communication was closed, Guo Changlu Dajue raised his hand and looked at the palm of his hand, but he did not notice any changes in himself, nor did he feel that he was any different from before.

He frowned slightly, turned and walked out of the room. In the conference room, the other three kings were still sitting there.

Seeing the Golden King appear, Sanlun looked at him and said, "Yuzen, how is it going?"

"The Silver King will arrive soon." The Gold King sat down. "As the first king, he may know something."

"Alright." Sanlun said, "Before that, we have a request. Can you please let us see the stone slab?"

Guo Changlu Dajue frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Because I noticed something was wrong, and also to ensure the safety of the stone slab," said Munakata Reiji. "Someone told me that my behavior seemed to be different from before, and I wanted to determine what caused this difference."

"The king is not affected by external things."

"Then let us see." Zhou Fangzun's voice was calm, and of course there was no awe in his heart.

He didn't hate the King of Gold, but he didn't like him either. If the incident with Chi Ming Anna was really extended, it could only be said that the King of Gold neglected his subordinates too much, which allowed the extremely powerful clan to conduct cruel experiments on a child.

Sanlun also spoke up, "This matter is indeed a bit strange."

Guo Changlu looked at them, and after a moment he nodded, "Okay, come on."

He stood up, his voice quiet.

When communicating with the Silver King, Weissman said that he was not right. Although he did not realize it, he had to pay attention to Weissman's words.

Could it be that something was really affecting him?

Arriving at the Pillar Tower, Guo Changlu Dajue was waiting for the elevator to arrive, followed by the other three kings.

He has always known that the power of the stone slab cannot be released too much. Until now, 70 years have passed, and the stone slab has been sealed by him deep in the Pillar Tower. The power of the stone slab will not be unsealed, and the world will not be in chaos because of the power of the stone slab. This is the best situation.

The elevator door opened and the King of Gold stepped in.

As the elevator went down, he began to wonder what he would do if the slate was destroyed as the colorless prophecy had predicted.

A world without superpowers, no kings, no clans, and only ordinary people...?

With a click, the elevator door opened and Guo Changlu Dajue suddenly widened his eyes.

"Is this the space between the stone slabs?" Zhou Fangzun looked around, "But there is nothing special."

"No, look around, there are security devices and surveillance cameras everywhere, the defense is very good." Reiji Munakata said, "But why don't I see the stone slab?"

"Indeed, where is the slate?"

Guo Changlu Dajue quickly left the elevator, turned around and ran directly to the monitoring room. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to explain to the rest of the people. The three kings looked at the anxious figure of the King of Gold, and the three of them chased after him. Soon they all saw the surveillance left between the stone slabs.

During the surveillance, a circular pattern on the top of the slab lit up, and the next moment, the entire slab quickly disappeared from between the slabs.

“Disappeared?”

"Is this why I saw the stone tablet in the outside world in the prophecy?" Sanlun touched his chin, "But, it was not taken away by that young man, but the stone tablet disappeared by itself?"

"Search for the stone tablet immediately!" The King of Gold gave an urgent order. "Whether it was taken away or left on its own, our top priority now is to find it!"

After the order was given, the King of Gold watched the video again.

He thought: Why?

The stone slab has been sealed between the stone slabs of the Pillar Tower, and he has never moved the seal on the stone slab.

Could it be that the stone slab is really alive?

…

Hinata Hajime sat on the rooftop, typing on the keyboard while enjoying the cool breeze.

After tapping for a while, Hinata Hajime stopped.

"So, why?" Hinata Hajime asked, "Why am I the one who hacked into Jungle's system to find the Green King's location? If you were to find it, you would have found it quickly, right?"

Kamuzuru Izuru spoke calmly, "It's your training."

"ha?"

"You must master your talent as soon as possible," Kamukura Izuru replied, "and make it your own."

Hinata frowned, "Why?"

"Because it's a good opportunity." Kamiya Izuru said calmly, "After you acquired the talent, you didn't have a strong control over it. This is because you lived a life without talent for more than ten years. The sudden acquisition of talent is like an external thing forced into you, so you can't digest it in a short time."

"Yeah." Hinata Sou nodded, "And then?"

"But you are in a state of amnesia now, which is equivalent to resetting a person. Before your memory is restored, you are a blank layer. You use the blank state to adapt to your talents and transform them into your own abilities."

Hinata Hajime blinked. "Is this why you always let me deal with problems alone?"

"Um."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hinata Chuang continued clicking the keyboard and began to search for the publisher's location in the Jungle system.

But it is very difficult to find the Green King. As the Green King is second only to the Golden King in power, he represents change. The so-called change is more based on systems and networks. The Green King's communication means are very strong. As long as he does not expose himself, he will always be the oriole behind the oriole.

Hinata Hajime investigated for a while, and at this moment, there was a ding-dong sound, and the Jungle system suddenly released a new task.

He clicked it out of curiosity, and the next moment he saw the content of the mission.

But this is not a mission, but a notice that the mission is temporarily suspended.

"Eh?" Hinata Hajime looked at the words above, "Mission stopped? Wait, in this case..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire Jungle system shut down. Hinata Hajime was ejected from the system and denied access. Not only Hinata Hajime, but countless Jungle players were also ejected from the system at the same time. Those hidden Jungle users looked at the screen blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Inside the Green King's base camp, Panzhou Tianji frowned and looked at Bishuiliu.

"Why do you want to shut down Jungle's operations?" Bishuiliu looked at Panzhou Tianji, "What are you thinking about?"

"What are you thinking about, Liu?" Iwashou Tianji looked at him, "Didn't we plan this? We should wait until the Golden King dies and our power grows before we start to act. It's not that easy to seize the stone slab. Why are you so radical, Liu, and want to start seizing the stone slab right away?"

Bishuiliu stared at Panzhou Tianji, "Because I can't wait any longer."

"What?"

"I want to get my heart right now, stand up right now from here, and get the power right now!"

"So you don't care about your own body, your own life? To do this?"

Bishuiliu frowned and stared at Panzhou Tianji. He said, "Don't bother me."

Looking at this water flow, Panzhou Tianji felt something was wrong and he thought something must have gone wrong.

This is not the water flow of the past at all.

Turning his attention back, Hinata Hajime tried to enter the Jungle system through the backend, but after trying many times, he still declared it a failure.

The entire Jungle system is in a shut-down state, just like a computer that is not connected to a power source and is not turned on. It is impossible to hack into such a shut-down system.

Hinata Sou sighed and closed his computer. "Let's find another way."

At this moment, he felt a little cold behind him. The moment he turned his head, the scene in front of him suddenly turned into a sea of ​​stars, and Hinata Hajime found himself standing among the stars.

"Ah." Hinata Hajime blinked, "What?"

"We finally meet, the visitor from another world."

There was a flash of light, and Hinata Sou raised his head. The next moment, he saw a child with strange eyes. She was floating in front of Hinata Sou and looking into his eyes. Hinata Sou suddenly remembered a painting. The painting was a mixture of various colors, and the colors were solidified together, as if it was the whole world.

Hinata Hajime looked at her, "You..."

"Dresden Slate, that's the name they call me."

[There really is a consciousness?!] Hinata Hajime spoke in shock.

No one answered.

Hinata Hajime was slightly stunned. He whispered in his heart, [Derushi? Can you hear me?]

"I cut off your contact with him." The girl on the other side said, "So, you can't talk to him."

"But why?" Hinata frowned. "I'm not surprised that you know about Deru's existence, but why would you do this? Is this something he shouldn't know?"

The girl stared at Hinata Hajime, and after a moment she spoke, "I am the Dresden Slate, a collection of wishes. I heard this wish from your body, so I appeared and fulfilled your wish."

"Huh?" Hinata frowned, "You said my wish is to not have any contact with Deru?"

"To be more specific, you should say you don't want him to exist." The girl said calmly, "That's your wish."

Hinata Hajime silently complained in his heart.

He thought: He has lost his memory, not become stupid, there is nothing wrong with his brain. Although he does not know what Kamukura Izuru has done, Hinata Sou is loyal to himself. His heart tells him that he likes Kamukura Izuru, and every time he hears his voice he relaxes unconsciously. He can't help but want to be nice to Kamukura Izuru.

How could this be so annoying that I wanted Kamizuru to disappear?

"Do you know the Fragment of Despair?" Hinata Hajime changed the subject.

"Yes, it is in me now," the girl said, "because I am the embodiment of wish."

"so?"

"So, I will fulfill its wish." The girl said something puzzling. "I agree with its wish, so I will expend my energy to fulfill it."

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime was confused. "Don't you think your logic is weird?"

Hinata Hajime tried to describe it. "That is, you all don't seem to be in human form, but exist in the form of objects. But now you tell me that you want to fulfill the wish of a fragment?"

"That's it." The girl nodded. "Because we are all creatures, we need to fulfill our wishes."

“Humans treat us as tools, but never think that we once had consciousness. Whether it is despair or hope, we are just tools.”

"I would grant it a wish, thereby acknowledging its existence."

"Really?" Hinata Sou thought for a moment, "That's quite reasonable. I support you."

The girl was slightly stunned. He looked at Hinata Hajime, "Do you agree with me?"

"Of course." Hinata Sou nodded. "Since you have consciousness and thoughts, isn't it normal for you to have things you want to do?"

“I wish you success.”
