Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"You said that the aura of the God of Light appeared in the Soul Sanctuary, are you sure?"

The white light in King Bai's eyes gradually dissipated, he stood up and walked to Lu Ruien's side again, and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't dare to say for sure, but the smell is indeed the same as what was emitted by people during the riots in the selection match that day, and it is even stronger."

"When Wei Chen arrived at the scene, Soumas was not dead, and the smell gradually disappeared from the Soul Sanctuary at that time."

"So you didn't find the source of that smell?"

Lurian did not deny it immediately, but pondered for a while.

When he left the Watcher's Spire, the aura still existed in the Soul Sanctuary, and had no tendency to dissipate. But when he came to the top of the Soul Sanctuary and was about to enter, the aura seemed to know of his arrival. It disappeared within a moment.

But even so, Lurian didn't believe that he wouldn't leave some clues, but the reality was always contrary to the ideal. Except for the dead Somas, no one present was contaminated by that aura.

Lurian thought about it and frowned involuntarily. He thought of a possibility, but then shook his head.

If the leader was infected, how could his subordinates be fine? He was probably over-worrying.

"No, Wei Chen carefully checked everyone present and the environment, and couldn't find that strong aura."

Lurian shook his head, making the solemn look in the White King's eyes even more serious. If he could find traces of the God of Light, he might be able to seal it again before his power could be restored. But in this current situation, he couldn't find the God of Light in the vastness of Hallownest. Finding her hidden in the dream is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Lurien, please return to the main city immediately and announce the news to the sentries inside and outside. Once you find anyone who behaves strangely, you will be arrested regardless of the priority!"

"I would rather arrest ten thousand by mistake than let one person go!"

Bai Wang shouted sternly, now that the situation has come to an end, we have no choice but to use this method of death to find traces of the God of Light. The container has not yet fully grown. If we encounter another accident like Black Worm, the consequences will not cost us many lives. The cost is recoverable.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"I know what you are going to say. This mission is my punishment for you. I want you to work hard to investigate all suspicious persons and not let go of any chance that an accident may occur."

"Otherwise, even if you die, you have to stop me!"

"As ordered!"

The blood stains on Lurian's face had condensed into blood scabs, but they couldn't stop the light blooming in his eyes.

The king is giving him a step down. Even if he doesn't say it, Lurian will devote all his energy to this matter, but now that the king has spoken, he should pay the price for the mistakes he made. He will be like the king. Say it with your mouth and give your life without hesitation.

After Lu Ruien stood up and left, only King Bai and Morong were left in the huge main hall, and the atmosphere became weird at this time.

King Bai stood not far away from Mo Rong and looked at him, but Mo Rong was not afraid at all and looked directly at him. After more than ten breaths, King Bai still didn't blink. Instead, Mo Rong took the lead and looked away.

Damn, he obviously didn't do anything wrong this time, so why did he feel panicked when he stared into King Bai's eyes?

"Did you kill Somas?"

Mo Rong was stunned. At first, he didn't know who the White King was talking about, but as soon as his thoughts changed, he seemed to have never known the soul master's real name. It was probably the 'Somas' in the White King's mouth.

"If you are talking about the Soul Master, then you are right. I did kill him."

Boom!

Lu Ruien's same dent immediately appeared under Mo Rong's knee, and the sudden pain almost made him scream.

"Did you really kill him?"

"You seemed to be able to pronounce this sentence easily, as if you were just killing an ordinary character. Am I the same in your eyes?"

King Bai's words were very plain, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but he was also very irritable, so irritable that Mo Rong could not even lift his head until his words fell.

The momentum is even greater than that of Lu Ruien. If Lu Ruien's strength is compared to the roaring river, then the White King is more like the boundless ocean abyss, which can be intimidating just by looking at it.

"He deserves to die, what can't I say?"

"You, on the other hand, put pressure on me indiscriminately. Does the King of Hallownest only have this kind of magnanimity?"

King Bai walked up to the throne and spoke slowly. As the words fell, it seemed that the huge force pressing on Mo Rong's shoulders was gradually diminishing.

"Lingya, as you said, how can the king of Hallownest see his people being slaughtered at will?"

"What's more, the one you killed was a famous soul master in the entire Hallownest."

"Come on, try your best to give me an explanation. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of this hall intact today."

Mo Rong slowly raised his head, the irony in his eyes dazzling King Bai.

"Your Majesty... I have been calling you this as the watcher. Is it okay for me to call you this?"

"You keep saying that you cannot see your people being massacred at will. May I ask, what is the meaning of the word massacre?"

King Bai did not remain indifferent to Mo Rong's question, but answered him with interest.

"The word massacre naturally means contempt or even contempt for life."

"Then don't worry, before I met the Soul Master, I never actively harmed anyone's life. This is not the massacre you mentioned."

"Let me ask you again, does your status determine the importance of life?"

"Of course not. How can the value of life be determined by those mundane things?"

"Okay! What a vulgar person! Let me ask you one last question, if there is a person who has great contempt for life, he can be in a high position, standing above thousands of people, inheriting the name of a scholar and master, but doing dirty things. thing."

"Then should he die?!"

Murong's last words were almost shouted, echoing in the hall, as if the whole world was questioning King Bai.

Should he die?

Facing Mo Rong's eyes widened with anger, Bai Wang's expression remained unchanged. After several conversations, did he still know what Mo Rong wanted to express?

"You mean, the Soul Master is the person you say who despises life and does dirty things?"

"Of course! In the name of research, he continues to deceive and even kidnap ordinary people to participate in his inhumane experiments. I believe the entire hall can be covered with failed experimental bodies accumulated in the Soul Sanctuary!"

"So you killed him without permission?"

King Bai's voice finally had some fluctuations, but it was extremely dull. Mo Rong's kneeling body seemed to be grasped by a giant hand, constantly squeezing and twisting, as if with more strength, he would It will burst like berries above the main hall.

"It seems that you think you are very wise, otherwise..."

"Will you give me my seat?"
