Capítulo 1410: Chapter 669: Soul of the Music Box, Anchor of Ti Exile
Kuai Hongji slowly walked to the desk, picked up “Amon’s music box” in his hand, and then gradually infused the soul of the music box into it.
As the music box was constantly perfected, the lody of “ding ding dong dong” began to play nonstop, and the entire bedroom astonishingly exhibited the grating effect, as if caught in endless light band slices.
The bedroom clearly hadn’t changed at all, but when the perspective started to move, the physical laws of the bedroom would readjust, making it once again appear as a “bedroom.”
“What’s going on?” Lin Yi asked, “Why does this bedroom have an illusory feel to it?”
“Idiot, saying this makes you as foolish as that bald guy from the Tang Dynasty.” Kuai Hongji scoffed, “The strangest part is when sothing that appears just like reality erges in the depths of the layers, the illusory is what’s real.”
“Your mory is almost recovered. When will you change from Tang Sanzang to Tang Sanzang, huh?”
“Or do we really have to wait until we all…”
“Kuai Kuai!” Mao Feiyang, who intermittently barked like a dog, suddenly interrupted him, “Stop it, let’s get down to business.”
“Okay, okay…” Kuai Hongji said, “I’ll start looking for the Contractor’s location right now, oh, by the way, Old Lin, give a ti.”
Lin Yi hurriedly glanced at his watch, then said, “3:31, it’s really incredible, coming over here from the gallery took almost no ti.”
Honestly, he thought one or two hours had passed because staying at the cetery alone took at least half an hour, yet it only took about 10 minutes in total.
“Good, ti isn’t too tight.” Kuai Hongji nodded slightly, quite satisfied, “While I’m searching for the Contractor’s location, Old Lin, try to perceive more, your perception is the strongest among us.”
“Once you find the location, we’ll slowly infiltrate it.”
“Warnings from the future aren’t unwise. If the situation starts showing signs of going wrong, we’ll escape imdiately.”
“Alright!” Lin Yi nodded heavily.
Kuai Hongji, having said that, threw the music box to Mao Feiyang, and said calmly, “Wind it a few turns.”
“Okay.” Mao Feiyang took out the bronze key, fitting it into the teeth of the music box, and started winding, “How many turns?”
“Just keep winding.” Kuai Hongji said faintly, his gaze aimlessly wandering around the room, then he saw the curtains moving without wind, and the painting behind them.
He frowned slightly, stepping over.
He lifted the curtain a bit, revealing the vast starry sky painting behind it.
“That’s the quartermaster’s coordinate.” Mao Feiyang ntioned this while winding “Amon’s music box,” slowly comnting.
But Kuai Hongji remained silent, staring at the painting while reaching out and gently touching it, his expression growing colder and heavier.
“What’s going on, don’t scare .” Mao Feiyang was frightened by Kuai Hongji’s solemn deanor and couldn’t help but ask.
Kuai Hongji slightly turned his head, his gaze landing on the oversized white plush teddy bear not far from the curtains.
“This teddy bear’s orientation, initially, should be facing the curtains.”
“Huh?” Mao Feiyang was stunned.
Kuai Hongji said grimly, “The position has been tampered with.”
“Both the curtains and the teddy bear are ant to cover this painting, and the things presented by this painting should not be in their original form either.”
“This painting surely hides so mystery, but the culprit behind it, who could it be…”
Upon hearing this, Mao Feiyang also felt the weight, “You worry soone is conspiring, plotting a layout?”
Lin Yi spoke at this point, “Isn’t this painting a coordinate for the quartermaster? Even if there is a problem, ‘Night Watchman-02’ should trigger it when finding the quartermaster, right?”
Kuai Hongji said, “This is what worries the most!”
“This painting was suppressed, yet soone broke the suppression matrix… That big white bear is the Contractor’s stuffed toy, but its supernatural traits have been intentionally redirected to the nihility layers, for countless years, it ans it’s been continuously releasing traits to the void, a pointless effort.”
“The quartermaster… might have been moved here by the mastermind intentionally or unintentionally, precisely to conceal the uniqueness of this painting.”
Kuai Hongji seed to be speaking about a conspiracy theory, causing Lin Yi and Mao Feiyang to shudder more with each word.
Mao Feiyang found it hard to accept, “Doesn’t this an, if there really is a mastermind, then we’ve ended up being accomplices by helping ‘Night Watchman-02’ find the quartermaster?”
“Cause and effect cycle.” Kuai Hongji said deeply, “This surely is also part of the logic chain. At this point, saying anything is useless. Before freeing the Contractor, we must first figure out the problem with this painting…”
“I’m most worried about sothing ‘reviving,’ using our ans to complete its infiltration into layers or reality.”
Mao Feiyang squinted his eyes, “Do you worry about the Angel, or…?”
The muscles on Kuai Hongji’s cheeks slightly moved, “The greatest possibility is the Angel, during the collision with the Contractor, its power already perated, but once it starts laying out plans, then it implies… the Angel has begun to possess human traits, thus generating humanity.”
“When sothing at the rule-level generates humanity, emotions will start to sway it, making it difficult for us to confront the Angel purely on the basis of rules and power laws…”
“And if it’s not the Angel, then the only one capable of creating such a layout is and only is…”
Mao Feiyang’s eyes flashed with a light, nearly speaking in unison with Kuai Hongji, “Supre Heaven!”
Lin Yi, though not fully understanding, still perceived an invisible sense of oppression.
Kuai Hongji said, “The real question now is… will we eventually face an Angel-level Supre Heaven, or a very much like Supre Heaven Angel.”
“There isn’t much difference between the two, but I’d still opt for the Angel scenario…” Mao Feiyang pursed his lips.
This question is similar in principle to ‘do you want to eat a piece of chocolate-flavored poop or poop-flavored chocolate,’ yet fundantally different.
Poop-flavored chocolate is at least chocolate.
But poop, even if sculpted and decorated, remains poop.
“I thought you’d choose to face Supre Heaven.” Kuai Hongji said.
“Supre Heaven,” judging from limited cognition, hasn’t quite reached the level of the Angel yet.
But “the Angel” is the strongest trans-dinsional rule-level unit beneath the Root.
Mao Feiyang corrected, “I choose to face ‘rules,’ not ‘humanity.’ Naturally, if given the choice, I’d prefer to face neither, to quietly go through the process, removing the Root once it’s over…”
“Because…”
“Humanity’s complexity surpasses everything, and transcends ti and dinsions.”
Kuai Hongji paused silently.
“Listening to you guys, I feel there might be a third possibility…” Lin Yi weakly spoke, “Perhaps during the confrontation with the Contractor, the Angel was contaminated, or the two produced so kind of… rger? Transforming into sothing more terrifying?”
Kuai Hongji: “…”
Mao Feiyang: “…”
The air went quiet.
Ultimately, Kuai Hongji slowly opened his mouth, looking at Mao Feiyang, “I suddenly understand a bit why you’re both cunning and cheap…”
