Chapter 445: The Gates of Hell
A few minutes later.
Mo You hung up, his brow furrowed.
The night wind in the mountains blew the sound of leaves, and when it hit the body, it was wrapped in wisps of heat.
But Mo You felt a chill in his heart.
At first, when he heard that Hawke had little time left, Moyu was shocked, but then he thought of the curse of the "King's Libra".
As long as it is a phenomenon related to "mindfulness", it is easy to deal with, and there is always a solution.
But after listening to Qiduo's narration, Mo You's heart sank to the bottom.
The problem that Hawke is facing now is indeed brought about by "thought", but that phenomenon......
It is irreversible wear and tear of life.
It's like the price of using "absolute time" for Kurapika......
It's not an injury, so it's not something that can be solved by healing power.
It's not a curse, so it's not something that can be solved by the ability to remove thoughts.
This is the end of life in life, old age, sickness and death.
Maybe a month from now, maybe a week from now, maybe tomorrow.
Hawke could have fallen into dead silence forever when he closed his eyes.
Moyu lowered his head, his brow furrowed even tighter as if he had passed the image of Hawke lying in a rocking chair during the day.
"By the way, I have counterpoint cornerstones."
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a glimmer of light lit up in Mo You's eyes.
But the luster suddenly stopped in the next moment.
"I've already used up the first 'Counterpoint Cornerstone'......"
Mo You muttered to himself, and then thought of the stone monument of the Legendary Road, and couldn't help but stabilize his mind, and his spirit sank into the space of consciousness.
Under the starry night sky, a bonfire brings light and warmth.
Not far from the bonfire, a stone monument surrounded by plants stands quietly.
On the front of the stele, there are only three grooves inlaid with dark purple beads.
This was the result of the destruction of the Phantom Brigade in the Sky Arena, but it was two dark purple beads away from condensing the second Alignment Cornerstone......
Not to mention whether the "alignment cornerstone" can have an effect, it takes a lot of fame to condense a dark purple bead alone, and it is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time.
Mo Yu silently withdrew from the space of consciousness.
Facing the hot evening breeze, he thought of the universal wishing machine that beat the enemy family.
However, how could the Enemy Beat family, who were extremely jealous of Naniga, take a huge risk for the sake of an outsider.
Even if Mo Yu pulled out a needle in Killua's head, so that the Enemy Beater family realized that Naniga's "wishing ability" also had a mechanism of "forcibly......
The most likely development would be for the Enemy Beater family, who learned of the secret, to restrict Killua as soon as possible, the key that can pry open Naniga's abilities, and then find a way to deal with any outsiders.
Mo Yu let out a sigh of relief and vetoed the use of the "Wishing Machine" to prolong Hawke's life.
"Nitolomi......"
Finally, Moyu thought of Nitolomi in the Dark Continent.
It is one of the five great hopes known to mankind to exist in the Dark Continent, a longevity food that can prolong life.
But how to go to the Dark Continent and how to get Nitolomi is a difficult thing.
But Moyu had no other way.
Suppose Hawke is normal and old, then wait for the time limit to come.
Then Moyu will not choose to go to the dangerous dark continent to find Nitolomi in order to prolong Hawke's life, but will accompany Hawke in his old age, so that Hawke will go through the last moment of his life without regrets.
"Five Hopes, Five Disasters...... If I'm not mistaken, the 'calamity' in Nitolomi's area is the Hellbell Twin-tailed Serpent, but I can't remember which direction Nitolomi is in the Dark Continent......"
Mo Yu struggled to recall the original information about the Dark Continent.
But some trivial things, how could he remember them so clearly.
Moreover, he himself has no interest in the Dark Continent, and since he came to this world, he has never paid attention to the Dark Continent.
To say why -
There are many reasons for this.
He has looked down on the world from the reader's point of view, and the dark continent beyond it.
Therefore, it is clear that the Dark Continent is vast, dangerous, mysterious, and treacherous......
He knew that he had challenged the Dark Continent twice for Nitro, the strongest in the world, but he was rejected and finally failed to cross the threshold.
Perhaps aware of the horrors of the Dark Continent, Nitro has made exploring the Dark Continent a taboo for the Hunters' Guild since his return.
But mystery and the unknown are nothing less than a wonderful thing that exudes a fragrant scent for professional hunters, and they will always flock to it.
For this reason, Nitro had to exercise all kinds of means and rights, just to do everything in his power to close the path to explore the Dark Continent.
In this way, it can be seen how dangerous the Dark Continent is, which can make the strongest in the world so fearful.
Moyu still knows......
According to the public and even non-public records kept by the Ferry Bureau, human beings have never completed a round-trip feat to the Dark Continent with their own strength, and the survival rate of exploring the Dark Continent is infinitely close to zero.
This means that reaching the Dark Continent alone is already an extremely difficult challenge.
And finallyβ
If the responsibilities of the Ferry Navigation Bureau, which governs the entire world, could be summed up in a concise sentence, it would be......
Don't let anyone go to the Dark Continent!
So much so that Jin in the original book couldn't get permission to go to the Dark Continent anyway, and even if he had the idea of smuggling, he would eventually be restrained from Nitro.
So when the character "Biyangde" suddenly broke into the world's field of vision, and raised his arms and shouted out the bold words of leading all mankind to open up the dark continent......
Even if Jin in the original book had an unhappy feeling in his heart that he was being taken first, he had to admit that Biyangde had the qualifications, and even thought about asking Biyangde to take him to the Dark Continent with him.
Moyu is not King, nor is he Biyangde.
He didn't have Jin's dream of exploring the Dark Continent as his life's goal, nor did he have the ambition to conquer the unknown land like Yang De.
But now he-
All you need is a Nitolomi.
It's just that this kind of thing is definitely not something he can do alone.
"Ask Kim's opinion."
Mo You took out his mobile phone that he had just put away and dialed Kim's number.
A few seconds later.
In the mobile phone, there was a prompt that the other party had turned off the phone.
"Are you busy?"
Mo Yu put down his phone and thought of what Kim had said some time ago that he was going to deal with a biological disaster.
Professional hunters basically choose to turn off their phones or turn their phones on silent when they are carrying out commissions or hunting targets.
For Kim to choose to shut down, it seems that this biological catastrophe event is not a trivial matter.
Moyu sent Kim a text message calling back when he was ready, then put away his phone and looked at the brightly lit temple in the distance.
In the past, at night, there were only a few lights.
But the arrival of Menqi and Droplet made Hawke turn on all the lights in the temple.
Moyu stared at the lights in the temple, sighed for a long time, and walked slowly back to the temple.
The night is getting darker.
Moyo returned to his room.
Turning on the lights, the bright light made him realize immediately that Hawke had replaced the lamp.
The furnishings in the room were the same as before, but they were cleaned clean, and under the light, there was hardly any dust to be seen.
Moyu came to the window, raised his hand and pushed it open, faintly hearing Hawke's hearty laughter from the other side of the courtyard, and Menqi's echo.
From the laughter, it was clear that Hawke was very happy.
Moyu stopped in front of the window, thought about it, and decided to hide from Hawke his plan to go to the Dark Continent to find Nitolomi.
"I can't do it alone."
Turning off the overly bright lights, Moyu sat on the bed.
The environment of the Dark Continent is extremely cruel and full of countless unknown dangers.
In order to travel in such an environment, it is necessary to have professional skills that can cope with a variety of situations.
Mo You's eyes drooped, and his mind swept over the figures of Menqi, Bisiji, Piyoen, Kang Zai, Mo Lao Wu and others......
He needs help, but not everyone dares to challenge the Dark Continent.
It is tantamount to crossing a mountain of knives into a sea of fire, and you may die anytime and anywhere.
What's more β
Everyone's pursuits are different.
There are actually not many people like Jin and Biyangde who aspire to the Dark Continent.
Moyu bent over, clasped his phone together and stared down at the floor in deep thought.
He was hesitating......
Anyway, let's wait for Kim's call back.
Until then, all he could decide was how to use the set of rewards such as the Mind Space Cornerstone, the Oath Effect, and the Memory Capacity.
Originally, he was more inclined to use this set of ability materials for "offense......
But if he really wants to go to the Dark Continent, then he obviously needs a shadow space similar to the "Four-Dimensional Apartment".
......
Ezhen Continent.
The sky was stormy, and the stars and the moon were nowhere to be seen.
Somewhere in the middle of the woods, there was a slender figure with a pale body and a naked fruit body fleeing.
If Moyu had been here, he would have recognized this figure as Mammon who he hadn't seen for a long time.
It's just that Mammon looks particularly embarrassed at this moment, and it can even be said to be miserable.
He had a wound in his abdomen that appeared to have been cut by a scythe, and blood was gushing out.
His right arm hung weakly at his side, dangling like rootless duckweed as he ran, and the bat-shaped wings on his back were also badly damaged.
Suddenlyβ
A stream of light wrapped in thoughts fell in front of Mammon from mid-air.
Seeing the streamer fall, Mammon's face twitched, and she was forced to slow down and stop.
The streamer then dissipated, revealing Jin's figure.
He looked at Mammon, who was seriously injured, and proposed with some weariness: "You can't escape, as far as the status quo is concerned, negotiation is the only option that can keep you alive." β
ββ¦β¦β
Mammon was silent, and only one face with dark eyes looked slightly hideous.
At this moment, a flash of lightning swept through the sky.
Suddenly, the light reflected a figure in the distance behind Mammon.
It was Kate's figure, carrying the newly landed Kim, forming a front and rear encirclement of the fleeing Mammon.
Kim's gaze pierced through the darkness and fell on Mammon, and said in a consultative tone: "We give you the opportunity to negotiate, depending on whether you are willing to accept it." β
"Goo, goo......"
Mammon's shoulders twitched slightly, and she let out a slightly eerie laugh.
From Kim and Kate's point of view, they could hear the sneer and mockery in the laughter.
But the two of them didn't care, patiently waiting for Mammon's reply.
After a few seconds.
Mammon slowly restrained his laughter, looked at Kim with indifferent eyes, and as for Kate behind him, he didn't look back to take another look from beginning to end.
The reason why he was seriously injured and fell into such a field was more because of the man in front of him who opened his mouth to propose negotiations.
"The so-called negotiations...... Is it to make the process of being forced to accept the 'Warcraft Regulations' more formal? β
There was no sarcasm in Mammon's tone: "Why be so hypocritical, you know very well...... Once I was far away from the human settlement, I lost the most basic security. β
"At least you'll be alive."
There was a hint of complexity in King's gaze as he looked at Mammon.
It is a very ruthless act to compress the living environment of a certain creature by coercive means.
But as a human side, there is no reason to allow Mammon to base her living environment on human life.
What's more β
They have the status of professional hunters, and they are also required to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them by the Hunters' Association.
Hearing Jin's words, Mammon's face became more and more hideous, and her voice suddenly became hoarse and low: "For me, what is the difference between that and death? β
ββ¦β¦β
Jin was silent when he heard this.
Mammon's chest rose and fell sharply, and she said word by word, "I know what to do to survive, so I have never killed a single human." β
"But a lot of people die because of you."
Kim did not agree with Mammon's statement and immediately refuted it.
Mammon did not defend either, but said coldly: "The cause of their death is the inability to control their greedy desires. β
"You have the right to defend it, and it will be one of your bargaining capitals."
Kim looked calm, and did not point out Mammon's ability to elicit greed, but reminded Mammon that she could use this idea for future negotiations.
This is his attitude and concession to this incident, and it is also his goodwill to "survive".
However, Mammon did not accept Kim's kindness.
His face distorted, and a black aura mixed with wisps of black emerged from his pale and bloodless body.
"Even if those humans died because of me, aren't they all damned people? A human I know said......"
"Do you accept negotiations?"
Kim interrupted Mammon.
He knew that the human Mammon was talking about was Moyu, but he was not interested in listening to Mammon's continued argument about the persecution of humans.
And letting Mammon accept the negotiation is a precondition for subsequent exchanges.
At this time, Jin was a little glad that he didn't insist on letting Mo You come with him at that time.
Otherwise, with Moyu's bounty hunter's style of acting, he will decide the attitude of "life and death of criminals", and I am afraid that he will be on the same side as Mammon.
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of the so-called negotiation mentioned by Kim again, Mammon suddenly fell silent, and then sneered silently.
If he accepted the regulations of Warcraft and was confined to a demonic realm that resembled a no-man's land, it would be a kind of slow death for him.
And he also knows that there are limits to the concessions that humans can make to the aliens.
Mammon knew that the human in front of him clearly had the ability to kill him, but it was already a show of kindness to give him a chance to negotiate.
But he didn't want to accept it.
"In a certain religion of your human beings, there is a perception called 'Gates of Hell.'"
Instead of responding to the negotiations, Mammon mentioned things that had nothing to do with the matter.
Kim's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he meant for the time being.
Mammon suddenly raised his hand and took off the eyeball like black agate, held it between his long, sharp fingers, and immediately crushed the pitch-black eyeball without hesitation.
"I'll open the passage, and for you humans, it's supposed to be the gates of hell."
The sandy powder spilled from her fingers, and Mammon's eyes were hollow and black, as if there was a bottomless malice hidden within.
Immediately after, a surging black aura suddenly erupted from Mammon's body.
Kim and Kate's faces changed, and they were both reflexively prepared for battle.
It seems that the negotiations will not be accepted, so it can only be ......
Kim and Kate thought the same thing.
And yetβ
Just as they were preparing to fight, they saw that Mammun, who was shrouded in a surging aura, gradually turned into fine sand like a weathered statue, and was slowly blown away by the wind.
This phenomenon is as if the power has been exhausted in order to activate a certain ability.
It is reminiscent of what Mammon just said about "opening the passage" and "the gates of hell......
ββ¦β¦β
Kim's brow furrowed.
He didn't know what Mammon had done in the end, but he had a vague premonition.
