Cullom looked at Wan Yi, who had just returned from another trip to the "tuba".

"I've kept you waiting." Wan Yidao.

When the little knight saw that Wan Yi was back, the three continued on their way.

The City of Tears was silent.

Only the endless raindrops are still falling in an orderly manner, as if to comfort and mourn the whole city.

It's even a mess.

There was not a single insect in sight, but there were many traces of battle around it, and the road was left with the strength of the beating, and none of the street lamps were still standing.

It's as if some disaster had crossed the border not so long ago.

Originally, I thought that during the truce, there might be a lot of bugs here that originally belonged to the Kingdom of the Holy Nest, but were obscured by the blinding light.

But in reality, when you come in, it's like you're in a ghost town.

A cold wind blew, and stone chips on the pavement passed past the feet of the three.

"This is supposed to be the Hallownest Center, right?" Cullom said uncertainly.

Even the little knight picked up the map and looked at it to make sure he had made no mistake.

"It's here, yes." Wan Yidao.

He knew what was going on here.

The reason why the city in the center of the Hallownest became like this is simply because Wan Yi has been here.

After the victory, Wan Yi, who attacked the top of the bridge, directly invaded the Holy Nest. Wan Yi and Cullom toss around the natural world under the bridge, and walk through the mantis village.

And during this time, Wan Yi Cockroach directly declared war on the tired and wheezing Holy Nest.

It's a secret war.

The initial invasion of the Wan Yi cockroaches was not publicized, but they carefully sneaked in, caught a demented insect and killed it directly, pumped the skin, and set the skin.

Initially, it was to take the city at the lowest cost and with minimal movement.

However, there are too many bugs on the other side, and a considerable number of bugs have been dead for a long time, and the shell is completely damaged in the process of making the skin, and it can't even be used as a holster.

Wan Yi didn't see many awake insects, and they were basically out of their minds, which made people wonder if the Pale King was still there.

There are even thousands of people who guess that the Pale King's secret weapon to suppress the obscuring light in the first place was to fill himself in.

Because even the leader can't be found, this strategy of lurking all the way to assassinate and replace him suddenly lost interest.

So Wan Yimen changed their policy.

Blow it up!

Wan Yi has never been a person who sticks to small sections, and he often likes to do things in a fair and upright manner, and all the behind-the-scenes preparations are meaningless if they are not detonated at the moment.

As a result, the Holy Nest suffered this unjustified disaster called "Wan Yi".

Grant eternal sleep to the worms that are immersed in false dreams, and the dark wind blows the Hallownest, eating away all the pale and light.

That's why Hallownest has become this way in just a few days.

Wan Yi and his entourage walked through the silent city, and after repeating the dead silence scenery many times, they finally met an acquaintance.

It was Quiruo who met in front of Mantis Village.

He was also looking at the remnants of the city, and when he saw the three of them, he waved his hand lightly and greeted: "Hello, I didn't expect you to choose to go together, unexpected but reasonable." ”

The little knight remained silent,

Cullom responded with a greeting, then said, "Quiroh, did you come here before us?" ”

"Just before you, the scenery on the road always makes me can't help but stop." Quiro said.

"Do you know what's going on here?"

"I saw a strange crowd of things, and they were like a black wind sweeping through the city, and then calming the last of the city's hustle and bustle." "It's hard for me to say whether it's good or bad for a bug blinded by light and dreams, but I admit I was taken aback when I saw it. ”

Everyone fell silent all at once.

The little knight didn't say a word, and Wan Yi had nothing to say.

Cullom was once again frightened by the turn of events.

How did the kingdom of Hallownest, which once made bugs yearn for it, become so weird, and where is the Pale King now?

"So I think we should find a way to find the Pale King now?" After thinking about it, Wan Yi suddenly said loudly.

"Oh?" Quirrell made an interested voice.

"The Nest of Nests has no leader, disaster is imminent, and I think the only one who has the power to change the overall situation is the Pale King." Wan Yi said.

"That's right, if it's the legendary Pale King, it should have the power to change all that." Quiro said.

"But we don't have any clues." Cullom was shocked at the jumpiness of their conversation, "And if the Pale King is really that powerful, how could Hallownest become like this." ”

"You're right, Cullom." Wan Yi smiled and slapped its buttocks.

To be precise, it should be the abdomen, but fortunately, although the praying mantis is tall, the abdomen is sagging, otherwise Wan Yi's current height can only shoot other people's legs.

"But we can't look for the blinds." Wan Yidao.

The big moth himself was beaten into a deep dream and clamored to come out.

The only key figure whose whereabouts are now unknown is the Pale King, who is most often mentioned, but who has disappeared in this time of crisis.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll go to a place to see." Quiro said.

"Where?"

"My teacher's archives." Quiro said.

"Your teacher? In Hallownest? Cullom asked curiously.

"Yes, it was a famous teacher of Hallownest who taught many people, including me. It made me go out and walk more, because Hallownest was good, but there was more to it than one place in the world, so I left. ”

Quiro's tone was a leisurely, very flat narrative of the incident, without too much emotion.

"I'm curious about Hallownest's experience over the years, but it's important for me to see how the teacher is doing."

"Leave the experience of exploring Hallownest to us." Wan Yi said freely.

Quiro smiled: "Well, please, I believe that one day we can sit on a bench and tell each other our stories." ”

After a few more conversations, Quirrell said goodbye and left.

After that, Wan Yi and his entourage went to a brightly lit building with a clear goal.

The sign of that building reads "Sanctuary of the Souls".

It seems to be a school-like place, with a large number of books and things for study and research.

But again, there was a catastrophe here as outside, and there was hardly anything left, except for the remains of some bugs scattered around.

And some books are also missing a lot.

In the upper levels of the Sanctuary of Souls, they found some records of evil research.

Here's what Cullom found in a book:

The Holy War has begun, and we will use our arcane knowledge to overcome all obstacles for the kingdom!] 】

[That light can't stop us, that's right.] 】

【…… That's impossible...... The power of light has turned into a plague! What is the vector of this infection?! 】

[No, there is no medium to be found, and even if there is no source of infection, there is a steady stream of infected people in the king's army!] What the hell is going on...... This power ......]

[Maybe only a strong self can overcome the infection, the light is a test of our will and soul, yes, that's it, that's right! 】

【Powerful Soul!】 The strength of the soul can fight the infection! This is what we get, but the king does not approve of it...... We decided to rebel against it, and it was only afraid that we had found the path to true strength! 】

【Gather the soul!】 Change the shape of your soul! Infection will be our strength! Eternal life! Light! 】

After reading it, Cullom shuddered.

"I think the academics in this place have gone crazy."

"Not really." Wan Yi replied.

When Wan Yi first entered this place, they were shocked by the situation here, it looked like such a bright school, but the insects inside were all strangely shaped.

The eyes are all orange, but they all feel very clear.

In one room, they found many arranged glass jars.

Some glass jars were broken in the chaos and the contents were missing, but some were still intact.

Curious, Cullom leaned in to a glass jar, wondering what was inside.

Suddenly, a flesh-colored object like mud appeared in the jar out of thin air, its contorted face pressed against the wall of the jar, and he looked at Cullom up close.

Cullom was startled and straightened up.

"Mind you, these jars are full of twisted souls."

"You said it earlier!"

"Who made you so curious, I posted it before I even said it." Wan Yi said very poorly.

He directly cast a spell to crystallize the souls in these jars into his own hands, and these twisted souls were basically left to him by clones.

Fill the reserves of soul crystals.

These souls are all orange-red and very dark in color.

"What the hell are the bugs doing in this place......" Cullom couldn't help but wonder.

"The miserable insect experiment, tracing the path of forbidden power, blinded by the light but not knowing it, although knowledgeable, but just a bunch of fools." Wan Yi said with his hands on his hips.

They made their way to the top floor of the Sanctuary of Souls.

Nothing.

"It's too clean, isn't it?" Cullom couldn't help but say, "What the hell is that black wind!" It could be that it is some kind of high-level being. ”

"Maybe it's just a bunch of more efficient robbers." Wan Yi said.

On the way back, they found a room that Wan Yi's clone had not been able to find due to a cursory search, and contained a miserable snail tied to the experimental facility, with almost no outline remaining.

The little knight reached out and sucked something out of the snail.

Wan also felt a dark aura emerge from the little knight at that time.

Seeing this scene, Wan Yi suddenly remembered that in this world, there seemed to be a higher creature who was more powerful than the big moth and was even called the "God of the Gods".

That thing has a lot to do with the little knight.

……

Moths descended into a complete ruin.

Looking at the ruins around it, one can think that this place once had an incomparably large and luxurious building, but now, only the outline of a ruined gate remains.

A black aura seeped out from between the rock formations below, bringing with it a hint of greed and malice towards existence.

"Is it right here? The Mr. Secret Weapon who suppressed your dreams? Moth Wan also said to himself, in fact, trying to communicate with the big moth

That being said, Mothwan didn't get a response.

Obviously, he is equivalent to becoming an existence like a divine envoy, but the big moth has never contacted him since he sent a "document package" by relying on a momentary contact.

It's really an irresponsible Party A, aren't you afraid that he will run away with the money?

While sighing at the spirit of his contract, Moth Wan Yi came to the broken gate.

"There's a very deep dream hidden here." Wan Yi looked at the door and said.

It stretched out its hand, and the light shone on the earth, and the black around it shrank back into the rock formations beneath its feet.

And between the gates in front of him, a broken white totem gradually appeared under the illumination of the light.

Hurrying up, Moth Wan also flew up, crashed into the totem, and disappeared in place.

The light dissipated, and the white dream totem flickered for a moment and then disappeared again, and the black substance began to stretch again, and even vaguely became more irritable.
