Chapter 154: Chapter 141 Era of Mystery Trailer
The screen was pitch black.
A barrage of bullet comnts flew across it—
“I’m coming!” “Do it a billion more tis!” “So cool!!” “High energy throughout!” “Mr. Jack, I love you!!”
“…”
Two solemn piano chords slowly erged.
Boom boom…
Suddenly, a jarring gunshot sounded—
Bang!
The image slowly revealed a stretch of countryside.
Dozens of players clad in burlap robes stood there.
In the distance, windmills turned slowly, the breeze wafted by, the green grass swayed, and lifted the corners of the players’ clothes.
“Greetings, warriors from afar, I am a participant, a naless Recorder…”
Su Keying’s sweet voice ca from offscreen, narrating slowly, echoing.
“Go and explore, go into this mysterious world and explore…”
The scene faded to black, then cut away.
The piano sounded again.
Boom boom…
Gunshot—
Bang!
The farr turned to face the cara and looked startled.
“Ah, there are tools there, you can help cut the grass in the field…”
Boom boom…
Bang!
The farr’s expression turned ferocious as he raised the hayfork in his hands and thrust it into a player’s chest, blood splattering.
In slow motion, the beads of blood hung in the air as though frozen, and that panicked face was captured in ti.
The background music began with a low female vocal:
[Once the world begins…]
Boom boom…
On the open ground at the edge of the town, nurous n toiled moving stones while won stewed a large pot of porridge.
A middle-aged woman with a kind face approached the cara, whispering:
“The rebuilding of this church is because a month ago, soone killed all the people of the Church, and burned it down with fire…”
“Ah? Who did it?”
Boom boom…
There was a new wanted poster on the wall, a blurry male face with black curly hair.
Below it was his na—
Jack.
A gust of wind lifted up a corner of the wanted poster, flapping loudly.
Bang!
The low female voice continued to sing:
[There’s no turning back…]
[Even if you fall asleep here…]
[We will find you…]
The piano played slowly but rhythmically, punctuated by the gunshots with heavy beats.
The scene shifted to the streets of Amber City’s Outer City District.
Carriages moved slowly by, newsboys shouted, weaving through the crowd.
Two guards with bad intentions approached the cara.
A kind-faced lady held a teacup, gently placing it on the table. At her feet was a black and white Border Collie, wagging its tail.
[You remain a gentleman…]
[Not lingering in comfort…]
[Everyone wants to conquer the world…]
The female bass sang raspy.
The screen turned once more.
A man wearing a black top hat and black suit showed a smiling face.
“Good evening to you both, you may call Jack…”
“Mr. Jack Spett.”
“I have a favor to ask of you, to find your comrades and kill them…”
The piano’s pace began to quicken.
Ding-dong-dong…
[What I’ve been looking forward to…]
The screen went black, then bright.
Boom!!
A gunshot rang out.
The Blunderbuss muzzle burst into flas, a shower of lead pellets spraying forth.
Horseman, Doghead Gold, and Forget No Taboo, along with so minions of the Iron Fist Gang, fell at the gun’s muzzle.
Their faces still held shock.
[What I regret…]
Boom!!
Another explosion thundered.
Stones flew and smoke billowed from an explosion on the stone steps.
The scene shook violently.
[Driving to make up my mind…]
[To enjoy all the freedom…]
[To revel in ease…]
[Life is short…]
The piano chords repeated incessantly—
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The background music reached its climax, with the female singing powerfully:
[Everyone wants to conquer the world!!]
Boom!!
A muscular little giant leaped from upstairs, roaring:
“Jack!!”
In the thundering boom, the scene trembled and dust filled the air.
The black-haired young man nad Jack tightly gripped the giant’s fist, his palm spewing out a large fla engulfing the little giant as he wailed in agony within the fire.
The black-haired youth’s silhouette flickered as two arms shot out like serpents, biting into the ribs of the little giant, quickly followed by a blur of punches and kicks at extre speed.
Crack, punch, jab, elbow, knee, and leg whip…
With a swoosh, one arm finally pierced into the chest of the little giant!
Blood stained the screen, then suddenly went black.
The bullet comnts continued to fly by, the viewers drawn in by the scenes of combat, their emotions stirred by the progressively intense video montage.
“Is this superhuman strength?!” “Holy shit!!” “It’s lit!!” “So envious of you beta testers!” “Hurry up with the open beta! I can’t wait!!”
After a long pause.
A deep, magnetic male voice resonated in the darkness:
“I called you here because there’s a small matter I need your assistance with…”
The female bass entered the climax of the song:
[And a dark corner for you to hide…]
The man in the black top hat propped his elbows on the table, interlaced his fingers, and rested his chin on the backs of his hands.
The silver staff leaned against his leg.
The cara moved forward to a close-up of the lower half of his face, catching a slight upward turn of his mouth.
[“Waiting quietly with hands clasped for the high wall to collapse thunderously…”]
The black-haired youth, with his back to the cara, waved his top hat, which vanished from his hand. A gust of wind blew past, kicking up fallen leaves and tossing his hair.
He suddenly bent down and flung the silver staff.
Click, click, click…!
In the blink of an eye, the staff transford into a silver whip bristling with spiked blades, sending a shower of sparks in all directions.
Filling every corner of the fra.
[“When that mont arrives…”]
Above the vast square, a Sun-like giant fireball slowly ascended.
The crowd all tilted their heads back, gazing skyward.
Exclamations resounded endlessly.
The cara zood in on a silhouette with black wings unfolded at the back, holding the fireball aloft and flying upwards non-stop.
[“I’ll be by your side…”]
The flas that blocked the view blazed fiercely.
A slender figure with red hair stood atop the ruined square, surrounded by rings of blood that ford into his crimson high-collared robe.
The water droplets falling from the sky evaporated into mist due to the high temperature.
The black-haired figure standing opposite him split open at the head with a hiss, and an unhard version of him erged from within.
On one side of the square.
A light golden-haired, beautiful young blind girl was pursing her lips, staring fixedly.
[“As everything is about to be accomplished, I feel deeply gratified…”]
The music crescendos to a peak, drums pound urgently, and the piano tones are heavy!
Thud, thud, thud…!
[“We all inevitably return to dust, how can one not feel disheartened…”]
The background music briefly paused.
“I want to bring down the Red Apple Church of Amber City…”
The black-haired youth adjusted his hat brim and took a sip of his coffee.
He spoke thusly.
Imdiately the spirited music burst forth once more!
[“Everyone wants to conquer the world…!”]
Boom!!!
Underneath the sky, a small Sun exploded thunderously, blooming into a giant firework, countless fine flas falling like teors.
The figure with black wings stood mid-air, looking down upon the world below.
A flash from his enchanting snake-like eyes was brief but intense.
Thud!!
“Jack!!”
A red cape fluttered as the middle-aged man, who appeared to be a church mber, instantly transford into a huge humanoid beast atop the church’s entrance, bellowing loudly.
“Ha—!!”
Visible sound waves scattered in all directions.
The enormous beast descended from the sky, lunging towards the diminutive Jack.
The black-haired youth, his body covered with dark gold scales, forcefully swung his silver whip, lashing it hard against the beast, and with a snap, burst a patch of flesh open.
Thud!!
The screen flashed.
The youth with black wings hovered mid-air, flapping his wings and stirring up strong winds.
His icy eyes looked down below, holding a slender silver sword in his hand.
The humanoid beast faced him, gazing up.
Thud!!
A streak of silver light, fan-shaped, swept across the beast’s neck, the faceless beast’s head froze, and a torrent of fresh blood sprayed from its throat.
Splurt—!!
Blood surged in all directions.
Thud!!
The head crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
[“Everyone wants to conquer the world…!!”]
Boom!!!
A gigantic fireball exploded over the square!
The red-haired man smiled as he held aloft a black and red longsword and brought it down fiercely.
The terrifying dark red sword light, like a curtain veiling the sky, charged towards the black-haired youth.
“What of a Saint? To harm him, you must die!”
A cool, ethereal voice scolded.
Amidst her billowing pale golden hair, a girl in a black dress rose into the air, her face as pristine as a goddess’s, opening a pair of deep and dark eyes.
With a wave of her fair hand, the square beca filled with black trees, forming an unbreakable wall.
The dark curtain slamd against the wall.
The scene burst forth with bizarre colors and blinding brilliance.
In the midst of violent trembling—
[“Everyone wants to conquer…”]
The voice vanished.
The flas burned on.
The barrage of comnts scrolled extrely fast and in overwhelming numbers.
“That was freaking aweso!” “Who is this Jack guy?!” “Strear, you have two minutes to hand over Jack’s contact info!” “That red-haired guy and golden-haired girl are also gorgeous!”
Whoosh…
The black-haired youth stood upright, cradling the girl with light golden hair in his arms, his poise tall and straight, his cool green eyes scanning the surroundings.
The vast square had beco a pile of ruins.
In the silence, a brief dialogue suddenly sounded:
“Mr. Jack, is there anything we can help you with?”
The voice belonged to Su Keying off-screen.
“I feel that there’s a voice constantly calling out to , chanting my na, hoping for to save that land…”
Mr. Jack answered with a forlorn tone.
[“The world…”]
The singing ceased at that point.
Whoosh!
A close-up appeared on the screen, long slender fingers wearing leather gloves, with flas erging from the palm.
The fla kept changing, taking on the forms of the Sun, the Moon, and galaxies among other phenona.
The cara pulled back, illuminating one side of the black-haired youth’s face with firelight, creating distinct shadows and an appearance both mysterious and handso.
The flas finally turned into a giant serpent, encircling around him and biting its own tail, forming a ring of fire behind him.
“I believe you all can help find the truth…”
All at once, the flas extinguished.
The screen turned pitch black.
The sound abruptly stopped.
Lastly, Jack’s voice was calm and asured:
“Softly entering my dreams…”
Thud…
Barrage of comnts exploded like a teapot overboiling, hurling countless—
“Aaahhh!!!” “This guy is so cool!” “Ah, I can’t handle it!” “Handso to the max!” “Praise the handso man!”
