Chapter 230 Scavenger (26) Spear of Azathoth
"The salvation was successful."
【Dependents】
【Impermanent Ghost·Xie Wuling】
: Skills [All must die] [All beings are equal] [Death is coming]
Gao Mengtang already knew the effects of the skills [All must die] and [All are equal], so he clicked on the new skill [Irresistible] to read the details.
【Death is Coming】: In this world, only death is irresistible. Open the door, Death is Coming
: After using this skill, [000 Blind] can specify a coordinate within a 444-meter radius and order Xie Wuling to sprint forward, ignoring all terrain obstacles/defense skills while sprinting, and being immune to control during the period.
Note: Death transcends time. Xie Wuling's skills have no cooldown time.
The teammates gathered together. Gao Mengtang first washed the blood off his body with cleaning agent, and then quickly told his teammates what had just happened, including Wei Wei's loss of control, Wolanbei's death, the butcher's salvation, etc.
"We shouldn't mention the name Wolanbei in front of Wei Wei," Gao Mengtang said, "Wei Wei will be sad if he knows the truth."
He Lun sighed, "But we can't keep it secret for long. Wolanbei's profile picture has turned gray."
"It can be delayed for a while, right?" Gao Mengtang closed the skill page and ran over to check on Wei Wei's situation.
Yin Mingwu was still guarding beside Wei Wei. When he saw Gao Mengtang, a hint of hostility flashed across his piercing eyes. He said with a strange expression, "Chief Gao is very cunning. My No. 1 position is no longer secure."
Gao Mengtang ignored him, helped Wei Wei up first, and then gave him two bottles of spirit recovery agent.
His eyelashes trembled, and Wei Wei slowly opened his eyes. He was stunned for a few seconds and found that the surrounding environment was very dirty. He immediately stood up and the black mud puppet helped him brush off the dust on his body.
Wei Wei only remembered part of what happened in the past half hour: it got dark, his mental level dropped sharply, and then he heard the voice of the system.
And then what?
Wei Wei: "Mr. Blind, what happened just now?"
Gao Mengtang glanced at Yin Mingwu, who was very considerate and said, "I have something else to do at the police station," and then disappeared in a flash.
"It can't be explained in just a few words. Let's leave here first." Gao Mengtang said.
Wei Wei: "Wax Oil Barrier..."
"I have an idea." Gao Mengtang summoned Xie Wuling and used the skill [Death is Coming].
The vision soared into the sky, overlooking the campus from a high altitude. Gao Mengtang marked a point outside the wax barrier.
"Take us out." He and his teammates held hands, and a ghost-like cloud enveloped them.
After waiting for several seconds, Xie Wuling did not start the transmission.
"What's wrong?" Gao Mengtang opened his eyes and asked.
Xie Wuling said in confusion: "There seems to be something wrong with my skills."
"What do you mean there's a problem?" Bai Jie was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
"That's exactly what it means!" Xie Wuling said. His figure trembled forward and moved horizontally about 1 meter. "I can only sprint this far."
However, the skill description clearly stated that the maximum straight-line sprint distance could reach 444 meters. Gao Mengtang kept refreshing the skill description page, thinking that there was a bug in the system.
Xie Wuling's skills did not cool down. He teleported back and forth within a one-meter radius. "I can only move this far. I don't know what's going on... [Death Coming] seems to have been weakened."
"My skills have also been weakened." He Lun said suddenly. He spread a golden wing and a purple wing behind him. He flew 2 meters high and fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Li: "The future is gone. Someone stole it!"
The black clay puppets around him melted one after another. Wei Wei tried to summon He Luo, but only a small jelly octopus appeared in his palm, waving its ten tentacles angrily, without any deterrent effect.
"My skills have also been weakened." Wei Wei frowned, "What's going on, Wolanbei, how about you?"
He looked around and didn't see Wo Lanbei, so he asked, "Where is he?"
Gao Mengtang's arm was suddenly tightly grasped by Wei Wei. He heard Wei Wei's delicate voice trembling:
"Sir Blind, Wolanbei, he, how did he die?"
Others lowered their heads to avoid looking at Wei Wei.
"He..." Gao Mengtang spoke hesitantly.
Wei Wei: "Who killed him? How did he die? When?"
Gao Mengtang: "He can still be resurrected, don't worry..."
"Tell me." Wei Wei's voice was almost pleading, "How did he die?"
"Yin Mingwu killed him." Gao Mengtang said firmly, "We will avenge Wo Lanbei."
Looking at Wei Wei's expression, he obviously didn't believe it. When he just woke up, Yin Mingwu was also by his side, and Gao Mengtang's attitude towards Yin Mingwu was not gritting his teeth and irreconcilable.
Wei Wei released the hand that was tightly holding Gao Mengtang's arm, held on to a broken wall, slowly sat on the rubble, crossed his legs, and He Luo crawled around on his legs.
Just when everyone thought that Wei Wei had not noticed anything unusual and breathed a sigh of relief, Wei Wei suddenly raised his head and asked: "Did I kill him?"
"No, it's Yin Mingwu." Gao Mengtang said firmly.
Wei Wei still didn't believe it. He was sensitive enough and smart enough that even a clumsy lie couldn't fool him: "Bai Jie, I want to see Wo Lanbei's clearance video."
"My skill is ineffective!" Bai Jie should be the only one who felt relieved because of the ineffectiveness of his skill. He opened the peeping interface several times in a row, and after a few seconds, the page automatically flashed back, "Look, the video can't be opened!"
The silence lasted for half a minute, and Wei Wei stared blankly ahead. The suppressed emotions restricted everyone's breathing, and they looked at the dust under their feet or the birds flying in the sky.
Lei Gong's voice broke the silence, and he waved his hand at Gao Mengtang: "You, come here."
"What happened just now?" Lei Gong asked, "Those metal giantesses and... ghosts, what are they?"
Gao Mengtang: "Eh? I don't know."
When he was fighting with the butcher, the scene was extremely chaotic and the vision was poor. People who didn't know Gao Mengtang's skills could only see a group of monsters appearing out of thin air and killing all the ghosts in the sky.
"Did you see the ghost? It was black, like a swamp." Lei Gong stood up straight, but he was only 1.6 meters tall, a whole head shorter than Gao Mengtang.
"It was too dark, I couldn't see it." Gao Mengtang shook his head. He observed the reaction of Lei Gong calmly.
Lei Gong looked very nervous and bit his nails unconsciously. He knew the other world and naturally knew that those ghosts holding lanterns were the coffins of the wise kings of all generations and the corrupt supreme order.
He also knew that the Supreme Order existed in the body of the Sage King Twelve. But he couldn't figure out why the Supreme Order would appear to help them eliminate the ghosts when the Black Banquet was thousands of miles away.
"Foster father helped us." Lei Gong said to himself, "Thank you, kind foster father."
After muttering a few words like this, Lei Gong looked up and saw Gao Mengtang staring at him. For some reason, he suddenly became angry and slapped Gao Mengtang in the face.
"Don't stare at me like that!" Lei Gong shouted, "And, wear your mask in front of me. I don't want to see your face!"
Gao Mengtang covered his face and hummed softly.
"roll!"
Gao Mengtang rolled away, and walked a few meters away, then turned his head like a ghost, staring straight at Lei Gong's back. He was still standing there, his shoulders tense, looking a little nervous.
A ghost with a lantern appeared in front of Lei Gong. A pale and thin arm stretched out from the black robe, grabbed Lei Gong, lifted him up high, and then smashed him hard to the ground.
Lei Gong screamed and looked around like a frightened monkey.
Gao Mengtang curled the corners of his mouth and walked away contentedly.
The number in the sky turned to "1", and they still couldn't find a way to leave Ximing Medical College. A group of people gathered together, discussing countermeasures, at this time, two students came over and forcibly stuffed a poster into Bai Jie's arms.
"The ancient gods have arrived. Short-sighted humans, choose the right path." said the man.
Bai Jie was feeling upset, so he pushed the man away and crumpled the poster into the ruins: "Don't bother me!"
The student gloomily glanced at the poster that was treated as waste paper, and his eyes slowly fell on Bai Jie's head. A long spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, and the tip of the spear was against Bai Jie's hair. "Respect the ancient gods, idiot."
Seeing the spear, the players were stunned, and then they all looked at He Lun.
Isn’t that Heron’s spear?
"If you do that again, this gun will pierce your head and let your dirty, turbid, useless brains flow all over the floor." The student's tone was vicious, and the spear turned into a point of light and dissipated.
The two men stuffed a promotional poster into the hands of all the players. In the center of the poster, there was a man in black wearing a bird-beak mask.
"It's him." Gao Mengtang said softly.
"How come that guy has my spear!" He Lun jumped up, "What's going on? Our skills have been weakened, but they have our skills?"
He Lun's brain was very quick, and he quickly came up with the answer: "Xie Wuling, is it your skill [Equality of All Beings]?"
[Equality for All] can maintain the overall strength of all players and NPCs in the area at the same level. There are many student NPCs in Ximing Medical College. Once the strength is averaged, the players will become very weak.
Everyone's eyes were all on Xie Wuling, who was so anxious that he was floating around: "I didn't use [Equality of All Beings], I'm already Gao Mengtang's follower, how could I harm him?"
"However, the skill effect is indeed very similar to [Equality for All], or in other words, exactly the same." Xie Wuling added.
The players frowned in confusion. What happened was really unbelievable. Gao Mengtang was the first to break the silence. He lit the corpse oil candle and said, "I'll go to the ghost ship to take a look."
Fall down and get up.
When he opened his eyes, Gao Mengtang had arrived at the ghost ship. He went straight to the restaurant and found the black businessman.
"Is the wax barrier of Ximing Medical College your masterpiece?" Gao Mengtang asked.
The black businessman smiled and said, "That's right."
Gao Mengtang: "Who told you to do this?"
"I am a businessman. I only do business and don't answer questions," said the black businessman.
Gao Mengtang took a deep breath and sat opposite the black businessman: "I want to do business with you, open the wax barrier and let us out."
"What price are you prepared to pay?" the black businessman asked gently. "Let me remind you that this is a big business."
Gao Mengtang: "Tell me, let me see if I can accept it."
The black businessman supported his forehead and tapped the table with his index finger. He thought attentively for a while and said, "I figured it out."
The Snowstorm shook violently, but outside the portholes the wind and sea were calm, and the ancient, terrifying sound of a tsunami sounded for no reason. Through the candlelight, one could see the wax men running around, screaming, and in an instant they dissolved into a pool of milky yellow wax.
Some strange primitive illusions appeared one after another: the bodies of the Eternal giants collapsed and turned into stones all over the ground; ugly slaves fell from the high walls one after another, and other slaves carried huge stones and stepped on their broken flesh and bones; beautiful humanoid creatures like frost and snow floated into the ring city...
This is the development history of the other world.
The Eternals died, the Weeping Wall was built, and the Moonborn and Shadowborn were separated.
When Gao Mengtang came to his senses, he saw a spear on the table.
The lines of the spear were extremely simple, yet indescribably graceful, dark purple like the deep space, with colorful spots of light inside. Wisps of faint halos surrounded the spear, like a colorful nebula.
"I gave it a name, the Spear of Azathoth. The twelfth wise king used it to stab his own eyes," the black merchant said. "The price I offer is that you must become the master of this spear again."
Gao Mengtang: “Is that so?”
"That's it."
Gao Mengtang grasped the spear without hesitation and swung it twice casually. It was very light, as if it had no weight.
System: "[000 Blind] obtains the weapon [Spear of Azathoth]"
"Attack effect: ominous."
"Weapon rating is being assessed."
The rating scrolled up from "Normal" to the highest "Inheritance" level, paused for a few seconds, and then scrolled up again, becoming [???]
"It is temporarily impossible to assess the item's level. The system is testing it! #&*@￥)..."
The following words become a piece of garbled code.
The black merchant wiped the half-melted wax on his face and laughed, "Young man, no one can take this spear away from you. Not even the Wise King Thirteen, whom you call the system. But you will pay the price."
"Maybe." Gao Mengtang said nonchalantly, "Goodbye. I think we will meet again."
"You paid a heavy price this time," the black businessman said, "I am not a very evil businessman yet. Not yet. You can still buy a product from me without paying a price."
Gao Mengtang stood there, raised his chin and thought for a while: "I don't want anything now."
"I thought you wanted to resurrect Wolanbei." The black businessman shrugged.
Gao Mengtang half turned around and smiled gently: "I know how to revive him."
Back in the dungeon, the spear automatically became invisible and floated behind Gao Mengtang. The wax barrier covering his head quickly melted.
