Chapter 60. Where Are You?
After the puppet started talking, or rather Zin'rokh started talking, there was a long silence.
Just like this rolling fog, it was silently filled with confusion and anger.
A moment later, Evelyn's reaction was even more intense than Char's. The moment Nana lowered her head, she released her grip on Char. The Dark Elf immediately took a step forward and held Char's shoulders, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
Her body was trembling.
The complex meaning behind this was probably the most common scene in modern melodramatic web dramas.
The female protagonist suddenly realized that the ordinary boy who was pursuing her with such forceful means and was about to succeed was actually the son of the boss of her company. He had disguised himself to woo her! The reason why he knew so much about him, acted so powerful, and was so omniscient was because his father was the boss of a company!
He had even tried every possible way to hide his identity to prevent threats from rival companies. It was all fake!
There was only one feeling for this kind of thing.
Disgusting!
It was extremely disgusting!
He had been deceived all this time! This despicable liar!
Char's brain felt like it had been stepped on by a snowfield elephant that was dancing the dance of the river, and she even had an illusion of a merry-go-round.
Everything that had happened in Zin'rokh's nest was loaded into a picture frame of the same size and played in a line in his mind.
Finally, it stopped at a scene.
Only the Valkyrie was left in the arena. She sat on the throne.
The Destroyer of Worlds knelt at his feet, his face full of willingness to submit.
In fact, it even exuded a pious radiance.
As if he was standing in an all-knowing perspective, Char saw right into his heart.
Zin'rokh was terrified, but he was as devout as a believer.
'You're the only will of the abyss...
'Only you're the true Son of The Abyss!
'What the hell am I?'
Char took a deep breath and suppressed himself.
"Believe me. I don't know why it's like this either, but I'll have an answer soon."
He looked straight into her eyes, almost imploring her. The Dark Elf's suspicion and anger slowly receded.
"Alright, I need an explanation."
"I will give you an explanation."
Char turned around and walked toward the puppet.
"You may rise."
"As you wish, Master."
The puppet raised its head and met Char's gaze. Even when it was lying on the ground, it was as tall as Char, more than 3.5 meters long, and its wings were as big as the Grey-headed Vulture's. To be more precise, the egg had mutated from the egg of a Grey-headed Vulture.
However, this pair of eyes was filled with anger.
Char was sure that this was Zin'rokh.
His eyes were filled with fanaticism, piety, and chaos.
"You remember what happened in the past."
"Yes, I remember."
Char's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his heart beat faster.
"How much do you remember?"
"I remember your heroic figure when you fought against the Human Advance Party alone, and the Valkyrie's sword strike that seemed to split the sky and earth."
"What about before this?"
The puppet shook its head and then nodded again. "It's a bit blurry. I only remember that I failed. After that, you found me and showed me a power that was enough to make me submit. After that, those damn bugs came one after another."
It turned out that he only remembered the last battle, and Char was slightly disappointed.
"What happened after that? What's happening?"
"This is hard to describe. Please follow me."
The puppet bypassed him and crawled straight to the entrance of the ruins.
Char cast a questioning look at the Dark Elf. The latter's face was cold as she followed behind him.
This was a ruin formed by the combination of the inner secret room and the outer three-section maze. It was divided into three layers. When the outer three layers were broken bit by bit, they would fall off like the skin of an onion, opening a bridge to the core, and finally from the entrance to the secret room.
"Lus-zupk."
The secret order was issued from the puppet's mouth, and the path was automatically generated.
The puppet gestured for Char to walk up first, and Char frowned as he looked at the puppet.
"Are you trying to burn me to death?"
"Please forgive me."
The puppet suddenly remembered that there was a section of the road that was directly activated by the secret order that was made of hot obsidian. The temperature had not dropped yet. Its body was mixed with dark gold, so it was not afraid of the high temperature. However, Char's body was made of flesh and blood, and it would be like teppanyaki if he stepped on it.
This was also to prevent the Nightingale team from exploring the ruins with high efficiency.
"Zo-wassi."
Water flowed down from the sky, and the road was suddenly filled with white fog. The sound of water flowing filled the entire ruins.
"As expected of the Son of The Abyss. Please allow me to once again praise your omnipotence and omniscience."
The puppet wanted to kneel down in front of Char.
Char also wanted to kneel down in front of it.
"You should shut up."
The gaze from behind him became even colder.
They finally entered the secret room. It was four meters tall and five meters long. Both the walls and the floor were made of regular square stone slabs, but the stone slabs were uneven in a way that could drive an obsessive-compulsive disorder to death. Some were slightly raised, some were embedded into the wall, and some were suspended in the air, as if there was an invisible long square wood supporting them.
The puppet stepped on a board in the center, causing it to sink slowly.
A light flashed, and as if some mechanism had been activated, all the stone slabs began to move slowly.
The sunken part slowly moved outwards, the protruding part slowly retracted, and the floating part was also pulled back to the flat surface by a force.
In the end, everything was back to normal.
Click!
A soft sound.
The light in the secret room suddenly went out.
Thinking that the puppet was going to attack them, Evelyn was about to break the contract when Char grabbed her hand.
"It's fine. The remote projection will begin immediately. This is just a necessary preparation work."
The Dark Elf let go of his hand. "Hmph, you're very omniscient and omnipotent, Son of The Abyss."
Char sighed helplessly.
The darkness was quickly dispelled, and the secret room changed its appearance.
This was no longer a secret room. Instead, it was projected as the Zin'rokh's nest. Everything could be seen clearly, but if one got up and tried to explore, they would only walk five meters before hitting the wall.
"Where is this place?" Evelyn asked.
"It's Zin'rokh's nest."
Char stood up with a serious expression.
He understood what the puppet meant. He could not explain it clearly because he was a little confused.
This was Zin'rokh's nest, but it was also a ruin.
The nest was located at the easternmost part of the continent, at the end of the red earth grassland. The ice river from Aurania was also corrupted by the mana there, turning into a black swamp that emitted strong chaos power. The black fog that had not dispersed for a long time covered a towering mountain, as if it was the wall of this world.
The nest was in the mountains.
However, the mountain had been split open.
There was a crack at the top, and the dim sunlight shone through it, illuminating the nest.
The shattered throne was covered in lava that had cooled down to a charred black.
The latter should have been entangled with the corpses of the Human Advance Party, but only charred black remained. It was like a piece of bread with blueberries but the blueberries were picked and eaten, leaving only the bread with holes on it.
The nest was split in half, but no one could be seen.
Char remembered that scene. It was the last scene of the 177 reincarnations. Ortlinde held the Holy Sword, Narshil, high and turned into the ultimate light.
However, there was neither the Human Advance Party nor the victor, Ortlinde.
In fact, even Zin'rokh was not around.
He turned to the puppet and looked into its gem-like eyes.
"Where are you?"
