Chapter 71: Waiting for Tomorrow (Part 1)
Dice House.
Silently chewing on the name of this familiar and unfamiliar organization, the murderer squinted in the darkness - before his predecessor, the murderer who was really named Misty Night, was defeated by the Glory from the upper districts, the name of this organization had not been circulated in the lower districts at all, but when he was cut into thirteen parts and brought into thirteen lives, the dice house had spread its roots to every corner of the lower districts.
And what is even more surprising is that the body is recognized - the name Jack is ordinary in both the upper and lower areas, but it has a special meaning for the murderer - before being captured by the Dark Guild and implanted in the High Demon Chakra to become a transcendent, the poor test subject once had this name as distinctively as he was, although the current killer has nothing to do with that guy from a physical or conscious point of view, but this name symbolizes a past that he does not want to be known by others.
As a well-deserved supreme combat force in the lower districts, the murderer who once ravaged an era naturally has capricious power, and the things he doesn't want to be known by no living person can know, at least, as far as he knows, except for the "snake" that has been entrenched above the dark guild for hundreds of years, there is no second person who knows about his news - if the "snake" can really be called a "human".
So...... Where did the dice house find out about his secrets?
The murderer has a very limited understanding of the Dice House, only that it is an intelligence organization that emerged a hundred years ago, and played a crucial role in the ascension of Emperor Michelangelo to the throne thirty years ago, and is the strongest force outside the existing three-pillar system...... No, maybe it's behind the scenes in the lower districts.
After all, the apostle had already seen the possibilities before.
Temptation is never one-way, perhaps the previous confrontation was mainly due to the apostle of the dice house taking the opportunity to test his power, but at the same time, it also allowed him to find out more or less about their bottom - whether it is the mysterious person who does not exist in his perception, or the young apostle, they all have mysterious power that is not inferior to that of the Descendants of Glory.
What will it be?
There is no innate hostility brought about by the blood of order, nor is it like the stigma of the Order, and it does not resonate with the demon flesh and blood, that is to say......
The body is unknown.
The murderer shook his head, judging from the information he had so far, the dice house had no claim for the right to rule the lower districts, even if it had always been a pathological desire for profit, but the reason for it had been unclear, as if it was to pursue profit for the sake of profit, if you didn't think about it carefully, you might be confused by the appearance, but if you look at it with suspicion, you can easily detect the dissonance.
"Maybe...... A mere lower district simply can't satisfy their appetites. ”
The corners of the mouth under the mask outline an arc, if each of the seven apostles of the dice house has a power that is not inferior to Dick, then they will really not be satisfied with being the king and hegemony in the lower districts, and they will definitely have a certain degree of thoughts about the upper districts ruled by the descendants of glory, even if they do not intend to subvert the rule of the Glory, they will inevitably seek a position and power that matches their own strength.
Just those...... And what does it have to do with him?
All he needs to guard against is to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Kill Amy Ulysses.
It seems like a simple request, but the hidden inside story is not simple - with the intelligence gathering ability of the Dice House, it is impossible not to know how bad the relationship between them is when he has already come into contact with the Glory, and it is impossible not to know that he has already put him on the must-kill list.
But...... They still made the request.
Why?
Was it a gesture of favor to him, or did it have ulterior motives?
This answer is actually not important, because from the very beginning, there was no deadline for the task of killing Amy Ulysses.
He had time to do what he wanted before he made a move on the sensitive Glory.
Like what...... Destroy the house of the lost.
In the murderous hatred sequence, the undisputed first place is the "snake" who once played with his fate, followed by the lost man's house, who killed him once, and as for Amy Ulysses, he can only be called the prey.
An insignificant prey that gives him a little pleasure.
Although his strength is still good for his age, and he is qualified to be regarded as an opponent by him before he completes the supplement, but looking at it now, it is not a great degree to bring him a little surprise, and what makes people even more concerned is the sword-wielding girl who followed him before.
That guy isn't easy.
Definitely a master who has stepped through the battlefield of Shura, and there is no comparison with the flowers in a greenhouse like Ulysses, it really makes people wonder how the Order's headquarters in the depths of darkness teaches its sword-wielding people.
However, the gap in personality is irreparable, even if the Glorious One joins forces with her, there is nothing to fear, and what really makes him jealous is the one who created the House of the Lost - another Glorious One in the lower districts, the dark traveler who once traveled through the deep night and survived in the fog of the Nameless, the old man who called himself Ignati.
If you take the House of the Lost as an imaginary enemy, sooner or later you will face him.
And, the murderer must admit that his odds are not high.
Or should I say that it is pitiful.
The name of the Misty Night Killer is indeed loud in the lower districts, but it has no meaning in the deep night of danger, and those who dare to break through the barriers of order to chase the glory of the legendary lost royal city of Prometheus are not to be underestimated, let alone the part that can still maintain their sanity under the erosion of the fog of the Nameless, they are simply living legends, and everything impossible can be possible in them.
Revenge on his own? Revenge on his own?
So, he needed a helper, someone who could help in the battle with Ignati - it didn't sound like a difficult request, but in reality there were only a handful of people in the lower levels who could meet his requirements, like Dick in the dice house and the mysterious man who couldn't be perceived, like the sword-wielder who had been with the Glory One earlier, or ...... Like a shadow at Michelangelo's side...... Mask?
Of these candidates, the Dice House is not trustworthy, the Order and the Honorable One are enemies of life and death, and there is only one who has a reason to help and is relatively trustworthy - and that is the Shadow King of the Lower Districts, the master of the Dead Realm, and the Mask from the Misty Zone.
With the collapse of the Dark Guild and the complete collapse of the power system built by the Three Pillars of Cornerstone, the original turbid situation has become clearer than ever, and in front of Emperor Michelangelo and the House of the Lost, it is a complete one-way street, without any room for relaxation, and there is only one reason left to prevent the outbreak of war, that is, the existence of the Dark Traveler Ignati - not to mention the lower districts, looking at the entire Hemtica, he is a first-class powerhouse.
Even if he joined forces with the mask, he wasn't too sure.
But after all, you have to give it a try.
Because...... Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
If life doesn't even exist for this pursuit, what is left of him?
Perhaps the reason why he attached so much importance to the name Jack, and so much to the man's prosaic and even humiliating memory, was his innate sense of emptiness, his innate sense of nothingness.
What does it mean to be alive?
How can we live a meaningful life?
A murderer born out of nothingness, instinctively hoping to return to emptiness.
So, fight, kill, only the blazing red can bring the real feeling of being alive.
However, now is not the time to indulge, the run-in of memories has not yet completely ended, and the body's combat instinct still needs time to adjust, and it will take him at least three or five days to adapt to the current body to receive and integrate the combat experience accumulated by the thirteen division consciousnesses in more than ten years.
Only in this way can we meet the most exciting strong enemies in the most perfect state.
To kill, or to be killed, is what he wants.
Jack's life has long since come to an end in sorrow, and now standing here is a murderer, and only a murderer.
Murderers.
The murderer who had returned to the world turned his back to the rising sun in the mist, and then turned around—
Step into the darkness.
