Lan 338: Chapter 61 Mr.
Lan While Shiyu and her brother were busy interrogating their enemy, Gongsun Ce was dreaming.
To be precise, he stood at a certain “inevitable place” before one begins to dream.
Deep within the soul, at the starting point of the road.
Gongsun Ce was not at all surprised that his Spirit Light was automatically drawn.
Ever since he had arrived at Zero Island, he had not had a “good night’s sleep.” Being teased by Shiyu Ling on the first day now seemed like a pleasant memory, for after that came a series of entangled dreamscapes and forcefully induced Clarity Dreams.
As for the cause of this string of “nightmares,” it was undoubtedly tied to the entity at the end of the road.
The neurotic man in grey at the end of Spiritual Image Road, the something-or-other making noises in Desolate Road, the unfathomable existence called the King of Destiny within the vortex; if even one of them were absent, he would be able to sleep soundly for a few days.
Once at the starting point of the road, Gongsun Ce immediately brought his hands together in prayer, earnestly hoping that tonight, no bizarre voices would make an appearance…
Can you hear me, buddy?” The voice from Desolate Road was as jovially intrusive as ever tonight, a ghostly blue light emerging at the edge of his vision.
Damn it, his prayer was utterly useless!
Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and, without a word, bolted towards Silent Phase Road.
Whatever that thing said, he couldn’t listen; just run, run!
“Spare none!” The existence in Desolate Road suddenly began to mimic a certain voice with impressive accuracy, sending a shiver through Gongsun Ce.
He was but one step from entering the road, yet his foot paused in midair.
“Buddy, you’re a smart man,” said the thing, with laughter in its voice that sounded congenial.
“You had a great chat with the Silent King during your fight just now…
Are you sure you want to go in tonight?
I have to say, this move doesn’t seem very responsible, whether regarding the environment you’re in or the people around you.”
Gongsun Ce stood frozen at the entrance to the road, knowing the thing was right.
To step on Silent Phase Road tonight would likely lead to an outburst.
If the Final Sword were also to stir, it would be the end of him!
Ahead was the Silent King, and behind, whatever king in Desolate Road.
How could he be so unlucky!
The Superpower User ranted in frustration, “To this Mr.
With No Name, what do you—”
“Hey, how can you assume my gender,” said the voice, cavalierly.
“What if I’m a woman?
Maybe your favorite type of silver-haired big sister, like Dawn Knight?”
“You know my XP too?!” Gongsun Ce clutched his head and wailed miserably.
“Look how flustered you’ve become, using curse words even.
Don’t be shy; she’s indeed beautiful.
Liking her is nothing to be ashamed of~” The voice in Desolate Form teased him, “Shall we switch topics?
Perhaps Qin Qianbai or Shiyu Ling…”
I have no romantic intentions.
Don’t frivolously say “like someone” like that!
“If you’re a camera that’s been spying on me from the depths of the road, I’ll just kill myself as soon as I wake up,” Gongsun Ce declared confidently, “to show my resolve.”
“Buddy, there’s a bit much prejudice in your words!
I just touch upon the thoughts you’re revealing here.
To put it in terms you can understand, I occasionally listen to your soliloquies,” said the voice, sounding slightly aggrieved, “I’m not like the King of Destiny with many spokespeople; it’s not so easy for me to influence the outside world.
And why are you so resistant, do I look like I mean you harm?”
Gongsun Ce was dizzy with anger, but he noticed that this…
didn’t seem to have subjective malice.
He had never heard of a demon that tempted one to fall beginning with XP.
Nor had he encountered a weirdo that spoke so kindly before.
“Relax, this isn’t the end of the road.
You won’t get assimilated like you do with ***…
Oh, he’s also put an information block on you, such a cautious guy.”
Gongsun Ce noticed that the path before him in Silent Phase Road was gradually changing.
The pitch-black road seemed to become clearer, and an inexplicable force was pulling at his emotions, making him unable to resist the urge to move forward.
Just like at the end of a Spirit Light Dream…
the desire to step onto the path was growing stronger…
Gongsun Ce suddenly awoke from the dream.
He couldn’t keep going ; facing this direction would surely make him lose control!
He quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away.
“I have to say, that move is kind of silly, not like you,” the thing continued to critique, “Is closing your eyes in your mind useful?”
This was his mind; there were no physical senses like in reality, just thoughts and words.
As long as this person kept talking, he couldn’t cut off contact.
With a resigned attitude, Gongsun Ce turned and asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Gongsun Ce was braced for anything, but he still startled when he turned back.
The last time he came here, candlesticks had been erected on both sides of Desolate Road.
But now, countless candlesticks had lost their light.
The ghostly blue flame flew out from both sides, converging in front of the blue carpet, forming a fiercely burning human figure.
The flames on the person extinguished at a visible rate, becoming blue clothing and an exaggerated cape.
Behind his head dangled a somewhat childish ponytail, and his young face wore a wild smile.
The figure was all too familiar to Gongsun Ce.
how he dressed and looked three years ago!
But the blue fire person’s skin and clothes were all blue, reminiscent of the P2 character in a fighting game.
“Look familiar?” the figure flourished its cape, “I thought this outfit looked more like you.
What do you think, buddy?
I don’t know if you like being called that, you know, you’re a difficult person.”
