the last king of darkness

Chapter 53 The strong are only worthy of the beautiful

When Rhodes finally returned to the bright and clean campus, he felt as if he had passed away.

The dark neighborhood and the horrible sewers, as well as those deformed monsters and the doomsday cultists who love to eat shit, have brought him a great psychological shadow. Now he urgently needs the love brought by a warm and broad mind to heal his wounds mind.

Rhodes successfully used this excuse to get the staff of the War Department to help him apply for a half-day vacation with credits.

This is the first time he has asked for a leave of absence since he entered school, otherwise Kashan would have broken his door and would not have let him miss classes and leave early.

Of course, Cass hadn't knocked on the door for a long time since getting his gate key.

This made Rhodes feel somewhat insecure. If she broke in and saw him doing something indescribable, wouldn't that just be a joke?
Kashan's father is the chief judge of the Internal Affairs Tribunal. Even if she doesn't know the lightning symbol, a casual word from her can solve the doubts of the chief judge.

The lightning symbol is now Rhode's biggest pain point. He must not be seen pinching this symbol. Even if the Internal Affairs Tribunal did not grasp the ritual symbol of this cultist, all prayer rituals and rituals outside the standard are prohibited in the royal city.

If he was seen, he would [-]% be considered a doomsday cultist.

Moreover, Rhodes now has a very important clue. If his conjecture is confirmed, then he will definitely not be the murderer.

Hope is right in front of you, and you must not overturn at this time.

Cautious, stable, dogged, everything is alive, this is his creed in life.

Back in the dormitory, Rhodes was not lying on the bed, even if he covered his hands with a quilt, it was not safe.

Although Kashan is in class, what if she comes back?
What if she turned on his door on a whim?

What if she had an itchy hand to uncover his quilt again?

It's all possible.

Therefore, you must never lie in bed and enter the dreamland.

The safest place should be the bathroom.

But in order to prevent the bloody plot of meeting in the bathtub that often appears in TV dramas, Rhodes took off all the dirty clothes and put them on the chair, indicating that someone was taking a bath inside.

Then go to the bathroom, close the door, and lock it.

The white flying bird pattern emits a shimmering light on the top of the bathroom, illuminating the white space.

Rhodes turned the white jade knob [-] degrees to the left, and clean water with hot steam sprayed out from the silver shower.

There is nothing more comfortable than taking a hot bath when you are tired. The conditions of Kingworth College are indeed very good, and the engineering technology is also very advanced.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

This is what Rhodes really wants.

Unless Kassan is out of her mind, there's no way she doesn't know he's in the shower.

it is good.

Rhodes was slightly satisfied.

It should be safe.

He sat on the toilet with his buttocks, his thumbs overlapped, his left index pointed west, his right index pointed east, and his three fingers curled up and rotated 180 degrees.

The eyes are blurred, as if suffering from cataracts, and the soul soars into the air, as if sitting in a hot air balloon.

When he felt the ground under his feet, he opened his eyes.

Silent, empty, boundless.

It seems that the gray mist that has lost its color is flowing quietly around, and the light-colored land extends in all directions, submerged in the gray mist.

He once again came to this wonderful dream world.

The cyan obelisk stood in the center of the dream, and the black altar remained the same as before.

Looking around, there is no difference from yesterday.

Rhodes raised his hand and saw the pattern on the back of his right hand.

A regular seventeen-sided shape is outlined with simple lines in a perfect circle, and a cross is embedded in the center, like a door leading to an unknown world.

He had already tried this pattern, but no one else could see it.

It comes from the ceremony held by the doomsday believers. When Rhodes stepped into the lightning pattern in the center of the ceremony, he saw a special picture and felt something hot inserted into his body.

Then, there was another mark like this on the back of the hand.

And the same experience was almost exactly the same as this time when the Hongshi Village migration team was destroyed.

The only difference is that the pattern on the back of the hand at that time was an eye made of black lines.

That eye, which eventually became the black altar, gave him the ability of the eye of the soul.

So, now what about this one?

Rhodes took a light breath, calmed down his slightly nervous mood, and began to walk around in the dream.

——He remembers very clearly that the last time he walked to a certain place in the dream, the back of his hand suddenly became hot, and the pattern broke out and turned into an altar.

If his guess is correct, then the current pattern should be the same.

Originally, Rhodes was ready for a long-term search, but he didn't expect that the back of his hand suddenly became hot after he had just taken a few steps, and the regular heptagon turned into a huge dark airflow, flying down in front of his eyes.

The air flow dissipated, and a hut with a very simple appearance appeared in front of Rhodes.

It raises the ground and makes the pale earth more visible.

The overall building is about 15 meters long and five meters high. The exterior is made of light-colored marble without much decoration.

There is a double door on the side, and outside the door is a pale marble step that winds down, right in front of Rhodes.

In an instant, a great sense of joy erupted from his heart.

My guess was right!
The fiery things that penetrate into the body are these buildings in the dream.

They may be something like dream fragments scattered around the physical plane for some reason, existing in some special form.

Doom Cultists use rituals with lightning symbols to find it.

And I am the master of dreams.

Shards call to me when I get close.

At the beginning, the lightning symbol in the center of the ceremony was where the fragments existed.

As soon as I stepped into the pattern, the pieces came back to me, appearing as special imprints on the back of my hand.

And when I return to the dream, where it used to be, the fragment returns.

That's right!

Rhodes almost jumped up!

This logical reasoning is flawless, I really am beyond the existence of elementary school students!
What excites Rhodes the most is that there is a very important detail in it!

When he stepped into the center of the Lightning Ceremony, he saw some special images.

They could be something that happened near the fragment, or something related to the ritual.

When the redstone village migration team was destroyed, Rhodes stepped into the lightning ceremony pattern, and in the picture he saw, there was a person with eyes painted on the back of his hand, who murdered the migration team.

And on the back of his hand, there is an identical eye pattern.

Because of this, he thought for a long time that he was likely to be the murderer, or an accomplice of the murderer, so when faced with censorship, he hardly confessed any information, because he was afraid that if he said too much, he would catch himself.

But now, when he understood the context of the whole thing, he knew that the murderer was definitely not himself.

The eye pattern on the back of his hand was acquired after he stepped into the center of the ceremony.

Then, the murderer he saw on the screen must be someone else!

They may have succeeded at the time, murdering the entire Redstone Village relocation team in order to silence the mouth, but some kind of accident happened afterwards, such as the murderer suffered a cerebral infarction and died on the spot, so that the fragments returned.

It was finally obtained by Rhodes.

Thinking back carefully now, he must have also felt the call of the fragments at that time, otherwise how could he, who has always been cautious, jump into the weird pattern suddenly and inexplicably?
Yes, it must be so!

All the doubts were solved, and the coherent logic penetrated all the blocked places in his mind. The depression in Rhodes' chest was swept away, like the sky was high and the clouds were wide, like the wind was like a song.

Now, there are only two mysteries left in all events—how did the Doomsday Cultist who found the fragment succeed, how did he fail, and how did he come here.

But it doesn't matter anymore, just two dark clouds outside the complete logical edifice.

The important thing is that I am not a murderer!

I am not a murderer!
I am not a murderer!
Hahahaha!

Hahahahaha!
-

In the eternal silent dream, there was continuous barking and laughing.

The two big rocks that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time, one and a half pieces were removed at once.
There is only half a piece left, which is the invasion in the dream.

But Rhodes is not afraid at all now.

Every day I go out and bring in hundreds or thousands of souls, try to ignite one or two more stars, and prepare several bags of thunderstones.

Even if the gods come, I will kill them for you to see!
Hahaha!
I'm already invincible!

Stop being your king, be me!I will lead you to sweep the world!
What kind of blue, white, blue, white, purple and white young lady, don't fight with those weird and perverted monsters, and go back to warm my bed obediently.

This king is about to rule the world!
All the scumbags who have mastered the sea king's scriptures will die for me, and those who rely on lip service are not real men.

A real man must have a broad back and a stalwart figure, be able to resist all disasters, shelter from wind, rain and frost, have a big heart and a good belly, and provide a warm and secure home for beauties.

Otherwise, what good does a beauty want you for?Picture you don't take a bath for three days, don't brush your teeth for ten days?

The strong are only worthy of beauties!

That's the truth.
