Chapter 15: The Decisive Battle (4)

Chapter 15: The Decisive Battle (4)

The sky was already slightly bright, and in front of Xiao Chuan's apartment, a man in a black cloak stepped into the tomb of his life and death without saying a word.

Dawn is approaching, which also means that this long dark night has ushered in the highest tide. He could almost see the tentacles that twisted in the shadows, tearing at reality and life. The most demurred, but also the most dangerous single-plank bridge, from here to the bottom of the lu, but no matter how you gaze, it is a bottomless hell.

The morning breeze was slightly cool, even in such a summer, the man still tightened his arms and hugged those "beautiful fireworks" more closely.

This time... Let's use this to make an end.

Without the slightest hesitation, the master of ceremonies stepped silently to the end of the task, and calmly stepped towards his own tomb.

…

What should I do to save Liangyi?

If you want to defeat Araya, what should you do?

…

Entering the hall straight from the main entrance, the complicated and ornate and vulgar decoration immediately gave people a feeling of breathlessness, but the master of ceremonies did not retreat.

From the very beginning, he clearly knew that this was probably the most dangerous place - the magic workshop of the magician Araya Zonglian, the otherworldly space that was completely separated from the outside world, and the inherent enchantment with the origin of Araya himself as the source of operation... It is no exaggeration to say that here, it is equivalent to the body of Aya.

If he wants to defeat Araya with a weapon such as a knife or an iron rod, he can return to the barrier at any time in a critical moment outside of this barrier, and if he is within this barrier...

- Actually, judging from the original book, even the highest-ranking puppet envoy Aozaki Orange, who also enjoys the seal limit, is also impossible to defeat Araya here.

So in the end, how can a master of ceremonies who only has some fighting skills and a physical fitness that is about twice as high as ordinary people do such a thing?

A magician with the power of "extraordinary knowledge" can easily threaten humans who are just "common sense", even if they are holding a large-caliber weapon, where they may encounter magic traps everywhere and fall into another dimension, the firepower of the weapon cannot be used at all.

So what else can be done to stop Araya and save Liangyi?

…

His eyes were slightly closed, and the tightness in his body undoubtedly came from the magic trap set by the magician in advance, and if he left it alone, he would become a worthless experiment like he had been at the beginning.

But this time, the master of ceremonies just opened his eyes calmly.

A mysterious glow began to shine, just like it had done before when subduing Fujino. Because he came to this world, and then he was awakened by the origin of the Araya himself!

The cables that bulged out from the floor and ceiling, the structures that coiled and disgusted like the small intestines in the body. Violating the law of powerlessness, the things that bind the master of ceremonies, under the gaze of those eyes, are like snow before the sun, and demons under the clear sky. All he could do was let out a frightened and feeble scream, which twisted and collapsed to the side.

That's right, this is the origin of the emcee's awakening - nothing.

It's not a nothingness like Liangyi that encompasses all the things that exist in the world, nor is it a worthless nothingness like an ordinary puppet, for the master of ceremonies, he should have come to this world from the beginning, he can't exist, but because of interference, he does exist in this world, so his initial chaotic impulse is "negation"... None, that is, disagreeing with all the things in this world, whether it is mystery or common sense, as long as it deviates from the master of ceremonies' own cognition, it will be erased...

The dim light on the zenith swapped for a moment, as if he was really in pain from his own internal organs being torn so hard.

"Aren't you home?"

The master of ceremonies spoke to himself, in this world where no one could understand him, he had been fighting alone until now that he felt a little lonely... Like a fool, it's clear that you're only one step away from understanding, and it's better to just throw these superfluous emotions into the corner.

Neatly found the hidden ventilation duct - the door to the underground parking lot of the building has long been sealed, and if you don't allow direct use of the elevator, you will undoubtedly be sent to another space, in this case, it is better to take a shortcut, right?

There was no superfluous movement, and the pipes under the iron mesh were dark, and only the faint sound of steam could be heard on the way to the other world.

The corners of the ventilation ducts, the entrance that bypassed the beams and led straight to the hell shimmered with a dull yellow light, leaking sulfur and blood, and even made people wonder if there would be a big demon or two with horns and wings suddenly sprang out there...

Of course, these are just human fantasies about fear.

Hidden in that dark and scorching place was something even more terrifying.

…

Poof

…

After destroying the steel frame that had been lowered, the master of ceremonies finally entered here, the center of the entire building, and the source of all evil.

In the cultivation tanks piled up like hills, the brains belonging to human beings are chaotically built into a forbidden area of life, and those connected electric shocks, the terrifying "vines" that lead to all rooms of the entire building, vividly outline nightmares and fears.

Whew...

The water droplets from nowhere scattered on the soldering iron, turning into white water vapor in a blink of an eye, and the faint sound made the whole building even more silent.

The master of ceremonies stared coldly at everything in front of him, then stretched out his right hand and kept moving forward with his footsteps, while waving it gently.

One by one, the tight, well-designed traps that would kill the intruder crumbled around him, revealing the place as it was.

Step by step, he walked towards the throne, towards the highest apex, but there was not a trace of joy in his eyes.

Beneath your feet, the wails of those glass jars.

Every one of the souls who had died for this boring trial was screaming and arranging individually, and each of the meaningless names was written on the manuscript paper, and then ruthlessly thrown into the furnace, staging a painful and helpless cycle with the desolation of being roasted.

It's like, like a curse... Or the nightmare that you can't wake up from for the rest of your life.

…

Today is the time to put an end to everything.

Without hesitation, push the throne away. The master of ceremonies walked firmly to the deepest wall of the workshop, reached out his palm, and the moment it touched the wall, some strange force made his fingers feel a tingling pain like an electric shock. He frowned slightly, but still pressed his entire palm against the wall!

Crackling...

A slight agitation, and then the most rearmost barrier that protected it all in front of him also collapsed.

Until this moment, the corners of the emcee's mouth finally brought a smile of relief. And the things that had been hidden in the black robe were finally pressed tightly by him against this wall.

…

The buildings of the 90s have not escaped the design of load-bearing walls, and even if they dove into the steel bars, they cannot completely get rid of the dependence on walls like the houses of today.

Ogawa Apartment is certainly no exception.

The wall that connects the two semicircles is the backbone of the building.

So, although it has come full circle, let's go back to the original question:

…

What should I do to save Liangyi?

If you want to defeat Araya, what should you do?

…

In this huge workshop like a magic fortress, in this otherworldly realm like Araya's body, there is only one way to defeat him.

- Destroy the entire building!

…

Rumble!!!

The blazing flames engulfed the walls, as well as all the test subjects, and the massive floor slabs soon split into heavy boulders that fell overhead, then destroyed everything. The cracks were still spreading, and the whole building was like an old man in the twilight of his lifeβ€”he struggled to wake up, and then finally fell to pieces in the first rays of morning light!

When you close your eyes, everything around you is so quiet.

Outside the collapsed world, he vaguely felt a ray of sunshine.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"I really don't give up."

Araya opened his mouth like this, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with scarlet blood at the same time... In the end, he still lost to the inhibition of this world... Ah, it's just a puppet that may collapse at any time, but why is it obsessed with fighting against yourself?

For the first time, he regretted that he had completely deprived him of the possibility of communicating with the other party...

Where there is nothing, he finds the meaning that must exist. Araya had to explore, had to ask, even if he found nothing...

When you close your eyes, everything around you is so quiet.

Outside the collapsed world, he vaguely felt a ray of sunshine.
