Kingdom of the Dead, Endless Lost World.
In the endless desert, there was not a single speck of yellow sand. Looking into the distance, everything was grayish white.
After the dead were ground to dust, the last bit of dust piled up to form this desolate white sand.
There was no distinction between day and night here. The sky was always gray, and a black fireball hung high in the sky, using the 'black light' to light up this world. The 'black moon' was the symbol of the King of the Abyss. Wherever the black light shone, it was his territory. The spirits that the black light shone on were his people.
It was the same day, and the sandstorm was still raging. The strange song echoed, and a sandstorm formed. Amidst the wailing, a circular space crack appeared out of thin air, and a figure rushed through it.
K3-Red Steel's body landed on the ground like a cannonball that weighed a few tons landing on the desert. A loud noise was heard, and sand waves were stirred up in all directions. The murderous intent that bloomed covered the desert.
"Come out." K3 smirked. "Even if you regret bringing me here, it's too late."
For K3, the only thing that could limit his power was the difficulty of the scenario itself. Wailu thought that he would have an advantage in this world, but that was obviously a miscalculation. Perhaps his power here was higher than the upper limit of a level four Anomaly, but as a level three Anomaly, like him, there was room for improvement in this dimension.
The blood clouds rolled, and the black moon lost its color. The song in the wind suddenly stopped. At that moment, a puff of black smoke rushed down from the sky. Wailu was like a puff of smoke that slowly condensed into a body.
His physical form was that of a purple-faced old man. He had sharp brows, a curly beard, and a beard that reached his chest. He wore a black robe. With the same image, if he was full of righteousness, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had the demeanor of an immortal. However, Wailu's body exuded an incomparably terrifying and gloomy evil aura. Just looking at him would make one shudder.
The wind whispered, and the wandering souls shied away.
The surroundings instantly became incomparably quiet. It was as if everything was waiting and paying attention to Wailu's next move.
"I've seen and heard … your arrogance," Wailu said. "I can feel it too. You are indeed very strong. But this … will not shake my will to fight. "
"As far as watchdogs are concerned." K3's attitude was still as calm as ever. Even though his right arm could only use fifty percent of its full power, he had absolute confidence that he could win. "You're not bad yourself."
As an Anomaly, a level three Anomaly at that, he had to be more familiar with the rules and order of Thriller Paradise than these scenario bosses. His analysis of combat power was also more objective.
If one had to make a comparison, Wailu's power in the Kingdom of the Dead was much stronger than Rainsford, who Feng Bujue encountered on Hunter Island, but compared to a high-level monster like Sam Montier, he was still slightly weaker.
If they were in the world of Sakura Town, Wailu would be weakened and restricted. If they really fought, the two GMs at full strength would have a high chance of killing him.
And K3-RED Iron's power, in Sakura Town, was about the same as the combined power of the two GMs. In fact, he might even be slightly stronger. In the world of Sakura Town, the restriction on his data level would be reduced. Therefore, after everyone's upper limit was raised, he was still stronger than Wailu.
"Those who wish to destroy my Soul Siphoning Circle … die!" Wailu growled. His body wavered, and he morphed into a shadow. In the blink of an eye, he was already before K3.
The battle started, and the murderous aura rose.
Wailu tried to attack first, but K3's feet stepped on the bone sand, and his arm turned the world around. He did not move from his position, and he only lightly pushed his opponent's ghostly claw to the side. The two of them crossed paths, and Wailu's attack was easily nullified just like that.
Of course, this move was just a test from Wailu. Facing a powerful enemy, he did not dare to use any killer moves when he did not know the depth of the enemy's power. He did not want to expose his weakness and be defeated in a single breath.
Turning around, he growled. Black fog gathered behind Wailu. Wild murderous aura accompanied by evil waves morphed into a tangible force that rushed at K3's back.
"Is this a long-range attack to test my power?" K3 turned around without a care in the world. "This kind of trick might have some effect on the players …" He raised his right arm and opened his palm. A red light bloomed on his arm.
Facing the powerful black wave, he met it with an even more powerful red force. The two forces clashed, and a clear chime like the chime of a bell came from the desert.
The sound waves spread, and the clouds changed. When the white dust settled, the two figures were still facing each other. Neither of them was injured, and their breathing was steady. It looked like with this level of probing attack, the two could fight for three days and three nights like the experts in wuxia novels, and it would end with one of them having to pee and retreat.
"Sad temporary data. Even if you don't die here, you will disappear when the scenario ends," K3 said with a sigh. K3 sighed in a compassionate tone. "In the endless scenarios, the system can create endless copies of you. You will be killed by endless players, or you will kill them … but both are meaningless. For you, death is the end, but for them, it is merely a return. "
"I have no idea what you are talking about," Wailu said.
"It is indeed hard for you to understand, and the saddest thing is that even if you understand it, it will not change anything," K3 said. K3 said. "Only those data that are high enough to be 'unique' can 'live' longer. Even though they cannot escape the fate of disappearing, at least they have a longer memory that can be passed on. In this dimension, their final 'deaths' will be an epic. "
K3 sighed. "And you … stop wasting my time. Know your place and disappear so that the system can fulfill the requirement to teleport the players." Murderous intent exploded in K3's eyes. "I am only one step away from level two. There is no room for error. I will not allow a temporary data like you to create any variables!"
…
"Are those … people?" Invincible Champion asked in a whisper. He followed Copernicus's gaze and saw that in the forest ahead, a small group of people was slowly approaching them.
"It should be an illusion," Copernicus replied.
"Oh … It's an illusion, not a monster." Feng Bujue wanted to mock this manager more and more. They had not even gotten close. Normally, people would think they were monsters, but his first reaction was to tell them that they were not real.
"Should we go into hiding?" Ye Zhi still followed the normal train of thought and came up with some reasonable suggestions. As she spoke, she cautiously covered the front of her flashlight.
Feng Bujue turned around and used an impatient tone to ask Galileo, "Hey, should we go into hiding?"
"Er … I think … there's no need for that," Galileo replied dully. Before he realized why Feng Bujue would suddenly ask him such a question, he gave the answer instinctively.
"Okay, then let's see what kind of trick this illusion can come up with." Feng Bujue had one hand in his pocket and the other holding the flashlight. He looked forward with boredom.
Ye Zhi looked left and right with a curious gaze. Her gaze swept over Feng Bujue, Copernicus, and Galileo. She thought it was strange. This group of teammates did not look very reliable, but they always did the right thing with their abnormal actions. It was as if they had read a guide beforehand.
Not long after, the small group of figures came close. They walked very slowly, and the way they walked was very strange. It was like children playing with a train, one following the other.
The person walking at the front had his head lowered to his chest, but his hands were straight like a zombie's. He wobbled as he led the people behind him forward. The person in second place had his hands on the shoulders of the first person. His head was also very low, buried between the two arms. The third person had his hands on the shoulders of the second person, and so on. There were also six people in this small group.
When they were relatively close, the players could use the lighting equipment in their hands to clearly see the attire of the six figures with their heads lowered. The attire and gender of the six figures were exactly the same as the six players, and there was not the slightest difference.
Feng Bujue laughed. "Ha … Needless to say, the one at the back must have said something along the lines of 'follow me' …"
That group of people silently passed by the players, as if they were just passing by to be bystanders. It was unclear whether it was coincidence or fate, but the one at the back was wearing the same purple suit as Feng Bujue. When he walked past the group, he raised his head and turned around to reveal a pale, mournful face. His eyes were rolled back, and he said in a voice that gave people goosebumps, "Follow me …"
"See, I was right, wasn't I?" Feng Bujue shrugged.
His relaxed attitude affected the people around him to a large extent. It was like watching a horror movie and someone spoiled the next scary scene in advance. After they were mentally prepared, the setting that was supposed to be quite scary did not have the effect of scaring them at all. Their Terror Points did not fluctuate at all.
"This kind of trick … has been used in Hong Kong horror movies since the 90s," Feng Bujue said. "I've seen so many similar plots." He watched as the group of illusions gradually left and walked into the dark forest. He still did not give up and complained, "If you really want to make people unhappy, why don't you skewer the six of them like a centipede, then let them crawl over, and then the person in front of the group say …"
"Stop it!" Ye Zhi quickly cut him off. "Other than giving constructive suggestions, can you please stop talking?" As a girl, her sanity level had been dropping ever since she met Feng Bujue. Compared to the game, the mental pollution caused by Feng Bujue's words and actions was scarier because it might extend into real life.
"Seeing the illusions, it means that we've entered the range of the magic circle, right?" Since he was the GM, Copernicus very seriously brought the topic back to the process of clearing the scenario.
"You can drop the 'okay'." Feng Bujue smiled. "Just lead the way."
