This old man.
He said he was a Law.
Weren’t the Laws almost entirely wiped out, driven to a dead end?
Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as the "graveyard deck of various Laws"?
Wu Xiaode showed a puzzled look.
"That... how did you discover ?"
He communicated telepathically.
Seeing his expression, the old man imdiately understood and telepathically replied:
"I sensed that card on you, which is how I knew your identity."
Wu Xiaode looked at him with uncertainty.
The old man, seeing that he still wasn’t convinced, telepathically added:
"Eternal Night Star."
"Special Card, the sorrow of all beings and things, the surge of death, one of the graveyard deck of various Laws."
That matched up.
Wu Xiaode asked in a serious tone:
"Why did you only co to see now? And where exactly is the next card?"
The old man nodded, "I am the will that remains of the Laws, having sensed your actions, I especially ca to explain a few things to you."
"We have sumd up our experiences and discovered that when facing beings, Demon Worms uphold an arrogant attitude, treating them as nothing more than fields to be harvested."
"Therefore, to prevent Demon Worms from getting their hands on the cards—"
"We made a setting:"
"Only those who et certain special compatibilities can gradually attract it to appear and then obtain it."
The old man wrote a character in the palm of his hand.
Wu Xiaode, feeling that character, felt his heart skip a beat. He was about to speak when the old man silenced him with a look.
"It’s here."
The next instant.
His figure suddenly turned into shattered light and scattered quickly in the Void.
Another figure tore through the sky and arrived.
City Lord!
He looked around, his face showing a suspicious look, and he bellowed:
"What was here just now?"
Wu Xiaode leaned back lazily in his chair, dismissively saying:
"Are you blind? Since I’m here, naturally it was my doing just now. What? Do I need your permission to act?"
"You... what did you do in my City Lord Mansion?" the City Lord asked in a different tone, puzzled.
"Hmph, like I said, besides you and , there are certainly others vying for the cards," Wu Xiaode glanced at him indifferently and continued, "So, I need to hustle and set up so traps—traps, hear out? If you barge in like this again and get caught in one, don’t bla for not warning you."
Traps.
Where there are traps, there must be bait.
Could the fluctuation of the Law just now be the so-called bait?
The City Lord fell silent for a mont.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t fathom what had just transpired.
Because Demon Worms would never join forces with the Laws; they exist to destroy the beings and things that evolved from the Laws.
Of course, the White Bone Demon Worm Davel wouldn’t possibly collaborate with the Laws.
So, that fluctuation just now...
Was it a bait in the trap?
Seeing this, it seed like White Bone Demon Worm Davel had beco more cunning than before...
If he were to cooperate with it against other Demon Worms, perhaps he could reap so fine rewards.
With this thought in mind, the City Lord’s doubts gradually faded away.
"I won’t co to touch your traps again."
With that, he disappeared.
Wu Xiaode sat there, still looking completely nonchalant.
But this matter was indeed troubleso.
The old man had written on his palm so quickly just now—
What exactly did he write?
Wu Xiaode recalled for a while, feeling a bit wronged.
You say, an old man suddenly pops up, grabs your hand and scribbles on it, and then runs off without a word.
—Simplified Chinese? Arabic? Hieroglyphs?
Who knows what he wrote!
This isn’t a TV drama where you just gesture, and the other person understands you.
In desperation,
Wu Xiaode spoke aloud:
"Troubled? What to do? Quickly use Bone Phone 2Max, and all your problems will be solved!"
"Bone Phone, that’s how powerful it is!"
In an instant, two lines of ice crystal letters jumped out:
"Advertisent error!"
"The current Bone Phone has been upgraded to Bonephone 3, you must create a new advertisent to awaken it."
Wu Xiaode was stunned.
—When did Little Bone upgrade this skill?
But he was quick to react, imdiately saying:
"The all-new generation of Bone Phone is upon us."
"Bonephone 3, it’s undergone super major changes—"
What changes?
As he wondered, the design and specs of the Bonephone 3 suddenly ca to his mind.
—This was Bonephone 3 itself reaching out to communicate.
Wu Xiaode imdiately picked up where he left off in the ad, reciting in one breath:
"This is truly a revolutionary change, deserving to be rembered in the communication history of all beings!"
"Ladies and gentlen, look!"
"Its bezel has narrowed by 0.01mm!"
"Impressive, isn’t it?"
"For purchase rights to Bonephone 3, please contact the Death Giant Dragon, Little Bone directly."
"Calls are welco."
As his voice faded,
Ding!
The Book of the Dead silently appeared, turning to a blank page.
There, the image of the Bone Phone 2Max—no, it should be Bonephone 3—had appeared.
To be honest,
Wu Xiaode couldn’t see any difference.
But now, he had to rely on it.
"Open the replay function, use slow motion, I want to see what that old man actually wrote on my hand."
Wu Xiaode silently commanded.
The Book of the Dead imdiately displayed the traces of the old man’s writing on his hand.
After looking back and forth a few tis, Wu Xiaode finally understood.
The old man had written a Chinese character!
—"Defiance."
Is this the so-called special compatibility?
The so-called compatibility could an having a congruent disposition.
Does this an that I have to ’defy’ soone to catch the attention of the card?
Wu Xiaode found this rather odd.
But upon further reflection, it did make sense—
Demon Worms wouldn’t defy anyone.
They stand above all, and with a wave of their hand, everything turns to ash.
