Beginning: I became the biggest villain

Area 0 prison.

Lu Yi slowly walked down the stairs and reached the bottom.

他环视了一周，目光从0-8一直到0-1，最后来到了0-1的门前。

There is a bracelet left in front of the door.

Ashes 0-1.

"I turned off the electricity here, so the access control won't work. But the rooms here retain the original craftsmanship, and there is a physical lock hidden behind the access control that opens with a key."

With that said, Lu Yi put his hand into his trouser pocket and took out a square key.

The key looked rusty, like an old item.But if you look closely, you can see the new reflection of the black metal revealed under the rust.The core of this key is clearly Kasaiin metal. No matter how powerful the attack is, this key will not be destroyed.

"Why are you doing this?"

There was a voice from inside the door, and the figure shrouded in black mist raised its head.

"I don't know if they are still sane if they want to use the permissions of the Level 0 prison itself to rob the prison. You must know that permissions are the easiest to be tampered with."

"So, when you closed the permissions, you also eliminated possible backhands?"

"Naturally. Instead of trying to break into a path that everyone can see, it's better to find another way."

"Oh, you are very smart. I didn't expect that this operation that was bound to fail could actually be opened up by you."

Lu Yi frowned and looked at the door with some confusion:

"You knew this operation would fail?"

"Of course, preparations for this rescue operation had already begun before I was captured."

Lu Yi suddenly felt a chill spreading from the bottom of his heart, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.

He was not a participant in this operation, but he just happened to get some clues and guessed the general outline of the operation.

So he took advantage of the opportunity to come here and intervened at the most critical moment.He thought he was doing a good job, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.

The rescue operation was planned before the person was captured, which meant that Ashes' capture was also part of the plan.This action is just a cover.

How terrifying would their real purpose be?

Before Lu Yi could think about it, Hui Jin continued:

"You are not one of those forces, are you? Why did you come to save me?"

Lu Yi was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I want to ask some questions. You are the highest-ranking shadow I can come into contact with. If it is you, you must know something, right?"

Hui Jin listened to Lu Yi's words in silence and gradually stood up.

Lu Yi looked at the figure inside the door, thought for a while and asked:

"What is the truth of this world?"

Hui Jin was startled for a moment. He didn't expect that Lu Yi would take such a big risk just to ask these questions. Then he thought about it:

"Do you want to ask about shadows, the relationship between shadows and humans, or...

"Night?"

Lu Yi opened his mouth, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Huh. This world is ridiculous, isn't it? Shadows can be attached to humans, and they can also take away humans. Shadows have no bodies, but they live in the same world as humans. Shadows' abilities are very similar to humans, but they can't control a person at the same time. Has two abilities.

"The conflict between shadows and humans can be traced back to before the period of destruction. How could I know? But from a survival point of view, shadows must win the body, and humans only have one body. Therefore, shadows and humans The contradiction is irreconcilable.

"Even if some humans advocate coexistence with Shadow, this cannot stop the majority of people from being hostile to Shadow. I don't know if you can understand that Shadow's stance itself depends on humans."

"I understand." Lu Yi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "What about the night? What's going on with the shadows in the night?"

"Hey, I didn't expect you to notice this, but I can't give you an answer to this question."

After a pause, Ashes continued:

"I came not long ago and have never seen the night. But I think you can think of those shadows in the night as another race, so it will be easier to understand."

"Another race?" Lu Yi repeated in confusion.

"Hehe. Just like you humans have different ideas, isn't it strange that different factions behave differently?"

Lu Yi's pupils shrank suddenly. He was not surprised by this explanation, but surprised that Hui Jin could see through his secret. ...You humans, doesn’t that mean that Ashes knows that he is no longer a shadow?

"What? You saw through my true nature and you subconsciously wanted to escape? Hey, he looks exactly like the little guy I saw before. It's just that your reaction is really slow.

"Didn't you realize that when I explained it earlier, the personal pronouns I used were 'shadow' instead of 'we'?"

Lu Yi suddenly realized that Hui Jin had known about it from the beginning, but he just didn't care.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have no thoughts about you. Not only do you want to know the truth of this world, but so do I. If you have the opportunity to meet the Hanged Man, you can ask him. When the time comes, If you tell me my name, he won't embarrass you.

"But I think you would rather explore it yourself?"

Lu Yi's eyes flashed and he didn't answer. He just silently wrote down the name "The Hanged Man".

"Okay, you can go, we people don't need your help."

Lu Yi looked at the figure inside the door and responded politely:

"Thank you."

He put the keys away again, backed away, turned around and was about to leave, but Ashes stopped him again.

"and many more."

Lu Yi was startled for a moment, then looked back at Ashes again.

Ashes raised his arm, and a burst of black mist surrounded him.

Suddenly, a black ball rolled out of the room 0-4, with a black four-pointed star inside the bead.As soon as the ball rolled out, black light spots circulated around it, dazzling like a gem even in the dark night.

"This is..."

Lu Yi looked at the "familiar" bead in front of him, a little surprised.

"The energy core of the 'Cultivation' level, in human terms, is equivalent to the spiritual power of 'Rain'. After the death of the Shadow Clan, they will turn into this kind of Shadow Bead, which is the crystallization of the Shadow Clan's power."

"After death..." Lu Yi picked up the shadow bead and murmured.

Ashes sighed silently, and then said in a slightly lower voice:

"The Shadow Clan is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of having all traces wiped away. It is the best fate for him that his power can be inherited by you."

Lu Yi held the shadow bead in both hands and saw the four-pointed star inside it begin to twinkle.

Him...or him?

"Go and become stronger together with his share!"

......

Ye Tian came to the end of the tunnel and broke the last obstacle of the passage under the watchful eyes of Hu Dou, Genban, Shi Changsong and Bramo.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the darkness behind:

'Solo, did you see it? '

'I will live, and take your share with me! '
