Chapter 199 013 Balanced Will Returns to Moon Banner
Shortien's private residence. Luca's bedroom.
"What should I do? Squidward is dying and his owner is nowhere to be found!" Pegana cried anxiously, feeling that life as a dog is miserable and hopeless.
He and his enemy, Rabbit, were only too sad to settle accounts with Bai Ke and the others. Luca was also pacing back and forth anxiously: "I, I repaired the teleportation array to the Xiao family's ancient house. It, it should be here soon."
The enemy rabbit squatted in the corner and sulked: "What the hell is that?"
"Monster, monster." Luca became more and more incoherent as he became more anxious. He muttered "maybe there is a way" and rummaged through the drawers in his bedroom which was like a garbage dump.
The place was filled with oil, metal parts, and half-finished robots. Luca picked up the machines one by one and quickly threw them away. "No use, no use. Oh my God! I can only wait for it, the earthquake, or the siege, or both..."
"What on earth is it?" Su Ji Meng pounded the floor in anger. He used his cell phone to send messages to other people in Yue Fan for the umpteenth time, but there was no signal within a 10-kilometer radius.
"That one, I don't know what to call it, Mengtang and Tang have seen it." Luca said incoherently, "Oh, this one, each of you can have one."
Luca ran over on tiptoe and gave each of them a copper-colored earring. "It can transmit sound. It will be very chaotic after a while. You two should wear it and don't get separated."
The dog and the rabbit put away the earrings. Luca suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my God, I, I forgot. I gave Xin Xin an earring so that I can talk to her. Yes, the earring."
Enemy Rabbit: "What is Xin Xin?"
"My half-sister, who I recognized as a sister, was also sucked into the void."
Luca was rummaging through the drawers in a panic and tripped over a pile of junk, falling flat on his face. He kicked a stone sculpture and it rolled in front of the enemy rabbit.
The Rabbit, who was patching the floor, stopped and stared at the sculpture for several seconds without moving. He reached out and took it to take a closer look.
"Dog, isn't this you?" Enemy Rabbit was very surprised. The sculpture in his hand looked like a sloppy hedgehog, painted with colorful oil paints. It was clearly a stone sculpture of the prototype of the colorful plush ball of fear.
"We, the Lu family, originally believed in Pegana, the source of fear. After he became a dog, uh," Luca swallowed hard, "our family was in chaos."
Pegana lay on the ground with no interest: "I don't want believers! I want to be the master's dog!"
At this time, Luca finally found his earring and held it to his ear to listen.
"Help! Someone please save us!"
"Is there anyone there? Is there anyone there?"
The people who were sucked into the void are alive! Luca breathed a sigh of relief and soon found that this was normal. It had been less than two hours since the transmission channel was blown up. During this time, they probably hadn't felt thirsty or hungry.
But those people were quite frightened.
"We are going to die like this, wuwuwu."
"Don't be discouraged! The ancient gods may be able to save us!"
"Ancient God bless you!"
"Bullshit! It's all bullshit! I've believed in the Ancient God for so many years, but I haven't even seen a single shadow of the Ancient God." Someone cursed angrily, "You guys can pray to the Ancient God, I'll pray to Gao Mengtang. Gao Mengtang! The blind man! Save me!"
The others suddenly realized that it was better to pray to the blind than to God, and they all shouted, "Gao Mengtang, help!"
Luca's teeth kept chattering: "You guys, calm down."
"Who is it? Brother Lu?" Xin Xin's voice came, "Great! Brother Lu, please find a way to save us!"
"Gao Mengtang is not with you?" Luca asked.
Xin Xin: "No, of the eight people who were blown away, three are missing. The five of us are floating in the air holding hands. Gao Mengtang and the other three were wrapped in the scroll, tearing the space apart. I don't know where they went."
The space was torn, so it was most likely to be teleported to the other world or the borderland. Luca said "Thank God", and then said to them: "I will find a way, don't give up. Who blew up the transmission channel?"
"Bai Ke! It's Bai Ke! He deserves a horrible death!" Those people roared and cursed at the same time.
Luca stuttered, "Okay, um, I get it."
Xin Xin seemed to sense something was wrong: "Brother Lu, why do you seem like a different person recently? You used to be a bad mouth, but now you stutter."
"No, I'm anxious." Luca wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Pegana shook the small stone statue of the source of fear to vent his anger.
Outside Luca's bedroom, two servants were lying on the door panel and eavesdropping. Words like "find Gao Mengtang" and "rescue Wei Wei" were heard in their ears.
The servants looked at each other, then quickly rushed to Xiao Tien's bedroom and reported what they had just overheard.
Xiao Tien's voice came from the curtains that covered the bed. In the past few hours, his voice has changed a lot, and it is closer to the timbre of a young man. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the feeling of an old man: "I know."
"Keep an eye on Luca. If he happens again, kill him immediately."
*
Hydra was carrying Tu Cheng and Bai Jie and was about to enter the narrow door when he caught a glimpse of a stuffed rabbit out of the corner of his eye.
He paused and said, "This is a useful thing." Hydra picked up the stuffed toy and entered the narrow door with Gao Mengtang.
The narrow door teleported Gao Mengtang and the other two back to the place where they entered Epiphyllum Ridge - Xiao Tien's private garden.
"Where is Wei Wei?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Hydra pointed in a direction: "Follow me."
He turned into a long snake, rolled up Gao Mengtang and three others, and flew towards the room where Wei Wei was imprisoned.
It was eight o'clock in the morning. There were groups of guests in the villa, yawning in unison and walking towards the meeting room with heavy steps, ready to attend today's report. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and the glass in the corridor was shattered with a crash.
The black python fell into the corridor. Gao Mengtang got up from the ground and twisted the door handle of the interrogation room: "Open the door!"
"Gao Mengtang?! You, you..." Bai Ke stared at him in astonishment, but soon regained his composure, "You blew up the transmission channel and killed so many people, yet you still have the nerve to come back!"
"Me? Was it me who blew up the passage?" Gao Mengtang was stunned. He sneered, "I don't want to argue with you now. Open the door."
Bai Ke calmed himself down and said, "Of course you won't admit it. Those who came back alive are all from your Yue Fan. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Other believers of the ancient god stared at Gao Mengtang gloomily. The relatives of the victims rushed over and tried to hit Gao Mengtang, but were held down by the people around them.
Gao Mengtang glanced at Bai Ke coldly: "Hydra, break the door open."
Hydra kicked the door several times and rammed it with his elbow, but the door was intact. He cut his wrist and dripped the blood stained with snake venom on the door lock. The blood evaporated with a sizzling sound, and the splashed blood bounced onto the back of Gao Mengtang's hand, and the skin instantly carbonized and turned into a scab.
"An indestructible magic circle has been cast and it cannot be opened." Hydra said.
A heartbreaking groan was heard from the room. Gao Mengtang looked through the glass door. In an instant, anger burned under every inch of his skin. If it weren't for his gentleness and kindness that had seeped into his bones, he would have grabbed Bai Ke and beat him up.
——The robot held a fork and stabbed it into Wei Wei’s right eyeball. It turned it twice and pulled out the eyeball along with the muscles around it.
Wei Wei's eyes turned into bloody holes. He lowered his head and didn't even have the strength to scream.
"I'm back, Bai Ke, do you think you still have a chance to survive?" Gao Mengtang clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, "Hydra, grab the key."
Bai Ke's face turned pale. Before he could say anything, there was a loud bang that startled everyone. Then, the earth shook and a deafening roar sounded in the distant mountains and forests.
When the monster roared, all the glass was shattered. If the people present were not high-level players in the Black Tower game, they would probably have died on the spot after hearing the roar.
The snake's tail swept and Bai Ke was pressed to the ground. Hydra smashed Bai Ke's face with his fist covered in snake blood, breaking his cheekbone and corroding his skin. Hydra took out the keychain from Bai Ke's body and tried out the keys that could open the lock one by one.
The other believers of the ancient gods were stunned, not because of Hydra, but because of - an earthquake.
Along with the earthquake, all kinds of monsters emerged from the mountains and forests.
“Run!”
"what happened!"
"Where is Chief Xiao?"
The walls broke, the ceiling collapsed, and the chandeliers fell one after another. Only the room that was cast with an indestructible formation remained intact. At this time, Hydra had pushed open the door and Gao Mengtang rushed in first.
The ground was covered with blood and broken limbs. Gao Mengtang's eyes instantly turned red. He first untied the formation that bound Wei Wei, and with some unknown feeling, he picked up Wei Wei's broken limbs piece by piece.
Two eyeballs, ten fingers, arms, calves, broken teeth, an ear...
His muscles were already stiff, his skin was already cold, and Gao Mengtang felt that his heart was also getting colder, bit by bit, just like the bones and flesh scattered all over the ground.
A thin dark green tentacle stretched out from Wei Wei's sleeve and tightly wrapped around Gao Mengtang's wrist.
"Avi..." Gao Mengtang hugged him tightly, carrying a bag of severed limbs, and led them away from the construction area.
Just after Gao Mengtang left the building, there was a loud bang and the house collapsed completely.
The flying bricks passed over Gao Mengtang's head. The Iron Lady opened a protective wall. Gao Mengtang took Wei Wei, Tu Cheng and Bai Jie, whose lives were in danger, and hid in the woods not far away.
This place is not very safe either, but it is safer than the ruins of the Xiao residence. Those bricks, like those in the Xiao's ancient residence, seem to have life, pressing down on the ancient god believers until they crush their chests and kill them completely.
The monsters that rushed past Xiao's house did not attack Gao Mengtang. An elk with 32 pairs of eyes even rubbed Gao Mengtang's back affectionately with its nose.
But Gao Mengtang didn't have the heart to think about these things.
"You, you're okay, Fukuzawa, this is really Fukuzawa!" Luca came over at some point, followed by Pegana and Enemy Rabbit. When they saw Gao Mengtang, their eyes lit up.
Gao Mengtang: "Spirit value recovery agent, feed it to Tu Cheng and Bai Jie, and give me a few more bottles of healing potion."
After a while of rescue, Tu Cheng and Bai Jie were temporarily out of danger, but Wei Wei was still in a coma. His arms and legs had been broken for too long, and even the most advanced healing drugs were unable to save him.
"At least he's still alive," Luca looked at Gao Mengtang's face carefully, "Wait a few days, He Luo will recover and be able to cure Wei Wei."
Gao Mengtang tightly grasped Wei Wei's fingerless hand, his heart aching. He Luo stretched out his only remaining arm and rubbed the back of Gao Mengtang's hand, as if to comfort him.
"Cough, cough." Wei Wei suddenly coughed twice, and his broken eyelids twitched. "Who is it?"
Gao Mengtang immediately came to Wei Wei. He suddenly remembered that Wei Wei was blind, so he whispered, "It's me, Gao Mengtang. I'm late."
"Blind man," Wei Wei said, barely breathing, "It's so dark, I can't see anything."
Pegana sobbed loudly and howled in anger: "Where is Bai Ke? I want to eat his flesh! I want to eat his flesh!"
After drinking 2L of medicine, Bai Jie and Tu Cheng gradually regained consciousness. They found that they had left the other world. They were surprised at first, and then they saw Gao Mengtang tightly holding a bloody man, which followed by surprise.
"Who is this?" Tu Cheng asked, "Why is he injured like this?"
Bai Jie stared at him for a long time, then suddenly shouted, "Wei, Brother Wei?"
"Yes, it's me." said Wei Wei.
Tu Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he fell to the ground again just as he stood up.
Hundreds of bubbles burst one after another, and props fell like raindrops. Gao Mengtang searched among a pile of rare treasures, trying to find a magic medicine to heal his wounds.
The saprophytic stone hit Gao Mengtang's palm.
The saprophytic stone fell out of the bubble, and Wei Wei immediately turned his head towards Gao Mengtang: "What is it?"
Gao Mengtang: "I'm looking for medicine for you, don't be afraid."
"That..." Although Wei Wei couldn't see, his face was facing the direction of the Saprophytic Stone.
The words heard in the secret realm echoed in my ears again: We must never let the Eleventh Wise King obtain the Saprophytic Stone.
And Wei Wei's ID card is made from the soul of the eleventh wise king.
"What is it?" Wei Wei's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Can you show it to me? No, I am also blind."
He laughed softly twice, and blood oozed from his half-broken teeth.
Gao Mengtang put the Saprophytic Stone into Wei Wei's palm without hesitation: "Here you go, take it. You are not blind, wait for He Luo to recover..."
Before he finished his words, an even more shocking scene occurred: the saprophytic stone transformed into a completely black butterfly and landed on Wei Wei's body. Millions of silver filaments floated out from Wei Wei's wounds and connected the broken limbs.
The eyeball was reinserted into the eye socket, the blood vessels were reconnected, and the bones were put back together... The butterfly's antennae sucked blood hungrily, and its black scaly wings turned translucent.
In just a few breaths, Wei Wei had fully recovered. He sat up, and countless black butterflies fluttered around his body. His eyelashes trembled, and Wei Wei raised his aqua-green eyes and looked at Gao Mengtang.
In the bright green like spring water, a frightening scarlet flashed. Wei Wei seemed to be bewitched, and his expression was completely different from usual. He stared at Gao Mengtang for several seconds and slowly said, "Twelve."
Gao Mengtang had been holding Wei Wei's hand tightly, but subconsciously let go.
However, Wei Wei only uttered these two words before his body went limp, he fell backwards, and fell unconscious again.
"Great!" Bai Jie cheered. He was so excited that he was speechless and kept repeating, "Great! Great!"
Tu Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared. I thought I would never be able to play chess with Wei Wei again."
Luca jumped for joy, Pegana chased his tail and ran in circles, and the enemy rabbit also danced the rabbit dance. At that moment, Gao Mengtang remembered what Hei Yankai said:
We must not let the Eleventh Wise King obtain the Saprophytic Stone.
The black butterflies that stayed on Wei Wei's body did not leave. They flapped their wings quietly. The bright morning sunlight shone on the butterflies, and the black color became even more unfathomable.
"Oh, Xin, Xin Xin and the others!" Luca suddenly came to his senses, "What should we do? Can we save Xin Xin and the others?"
Those who came back alive were all members of Yue Fan. No matter what they said, Bai Ke had the ability to turn black into white. Gao Mengtang gently put Wei Wei down and thought for a moment: "We must save him."
"Listen, do you hear that?" Luca held up the sound-transmitting earrings. "The High Chief wants to save you, the merciful blind man, He is the real, real..."
Gao Mengtang was surprised: "Can you talk to them?"
"Yes, through this," Luca showed the earring, "Captain Gao, please tell them how you want them to cooperate."
"Call Hydra's name and he will appear." Gao Mengtang said, "Hydra, you better move faster this time."
In the empty and cold void, Xin Xin and five other people held hands and formed a circle, like astronauts abandoned in space by a spacecraft, praying hard in the darkness with a faint hope in their hearts. When they heard these words, they were so excited that they cried.
"Hydra! Hydra!"
"O blind man! The true savior!"
"I'll do it as soon as possible." Hydra's body was wrapped by the water and disappeared on the spot.
The noises of commotion and screams in the distance became increasingly harsh. Monsters that had been summoned from nowhere were desperately fighting with the believers of the ancient god.
When using skills, smoke and heat rise up, the sun is high in the sky, and the bright sunlight is isolated by a layer of light fog.
"What on earth happened? Where did the monster come from? There must be a magic circle around Xiao Tien's house to drive away the monsters from the other world." Bai Jie looked at the shocking scene and sighed deeply.
As he said this, a translucent mermaid bit off the heads of three people, and the brains went down the esophagus into the stomach. In its translucent mermaid tail, one could clearly see the movement of the intestines as they crushed the bone residue.
Tu Cheng spat: "These evil cult HRs have resigned and are doing nothing. They are being punished by God."
“Yes, divine punishment!” Luca suddenly raised his voice, extremely excited, “Mr. Blind, look, this is the fate of disobeying you!”
Gao Mengtang: "Eh? I didn't summon them here. Someone must be helping me secretly. Who is it..."
Suddenly, the solemn sound of the organ rose from the ruins of the Xiao residence. The moment Gao Mengtang heard the music, his mind went blank. He forgot what he was going to say, and didn't think about anything.
It was as if all emotions and all thinking abilities were washed away by the music.
He just wanted to sit quietly on the hillside, watching the wind blowing through the grass, or forget everything. Suffering, hatred, sadness... all.
The people around him also reacted in the same way as Gao Mengtang. He Luo drew back his pipe, revealing his two eyes. The frost on Wei Wei's face melted, and he closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Even Bai Ke and Bai Shu looked calm and indifferent, as if they could not remember any hatred towards Yue Fan.
At this moment, the sea of heart was so peaceful, and it seemed to last forever. Gao Mengtang was immersed in the music, and his body seemed to become light and fluttery along with his soul, as if he could fly to the sky.
"It's time to end this farce." Hundreds of attendants surrounded Xiao Tien and walked out of the ruins.
Xiao Tien looked only in his twenties, but his mature demeanor and slow movements gave him a sense of old age. He was wearing a simple black robe, the same as the other attendants.
He held a glass marble in his hand and tapped it on the palm of his left hand to the rhythm of the music: "Dear guests, I apologize for the poor hospitality and the incident that happened."
No one responded. In every corner covered by the music, people seemed to have turned into mindless stones.
The earth stopped shaking and the monsters stopped howling.
Xiao Tien's ID card [013 Balanced Will], ID skill [Reset]
Skill Description: Your life of troubles will eventually return to zero. That is the epiphany of ascending to heaven, that is the tranquility before and after life.
: [013 Balanced Will] can instantly clear the strong perceptions, thoughts and desires of other players/NPCs, and lasts for 15 minutes (depending on the situation of the player/NPC, it may be longer or shorter).
At this time, even if Xiao Tien used a blunt knife to cut off their cervical vertebrae bit by bit, they would not resist because they could not feel strong pain, at most a little itchy. Moreover, they had lost their biological instinct to survive.
Xiao Tien's gaze swept in the direction of Gao Mengtang, stayed on him briefly, and soon fell on Luca.
"You still betrayed the half-dead man." Xiao Tien said regretfully, "Apostate, you deserve to die."
The servant came over and dragged Luca in front of Xiao Tien. No one responded, even Gao Mengtang just watched quietly. People whose emotions and desires were erased would just turn a blind eye and deaf ear to everything, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with them and they were unable to react at all.
Even Luca himself did not struggle at all. The servants chopped at Luca's neck, and Luca was like an old monk in meditation. The second knife chopped off Luca's head, and Luca's body fell to the side. The head held in their hands was still blinking slowly.
The smell of blood made Gao Mengtang's breathing stop for a moment.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
"Mengtang, next time you encounter a situation like this, tell yourself: I can end everything, including my nature. Remember?" Gao Mengtang's mother Gao Yaxin said this to him when he was three or four years old.
Not long before his mother said this to him, Xiao Mengtang choked while eating peanuts. He did not cry or scream, but lay quietly on the bed, waiting for death to come.
After he was rescued, his parents repeatedly emphasized in his ears: You can end everything, including your nature.
Until now, Gao Mengtang still hasn't fully understood what this sentence means.
But this seemed to be a spell that eliminated control. Gao Mengtang shuddered and suddenly woke up. He saw Luca's body and the peaceful-looking person beside him, and felt a chill covering his whole body.
"Wake up, cheer up." Gao Mengtang shook Wei Wei's shoulder. Wei Wei just closed his eyes. The lingering black butterfly seemed a little anxious, flying up and down continuously.
Xiao Tien sensed that someone had escaped from control and looked over again.
Gao Mengtang finally saw Xiao Tien's face clearly. He was very handsome, but his face was stiff, as if he had undergone too much plastic surgery. It seemed that what covered his muscles and bones was not skin, but solidified white wax.
"I heard that [000 Blind Man] Gao Mengtang has a beauty that is hard for ordinary people to achieve. I guess you are Gao Mengtang, right?" Xiao Tien asked in a casual tone, "Or should I address you as the twelfth wise king."
Gao Mengtang stood in front of Wei Wei and looked at Xiao Tien calmly.
He was sure that he had never seen this face in his life, but for some reason, Gao Mengtang felt that Xiao Tien looked very familiar.
Surprisingly, Xiao Tien asked first: "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
