Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Mo Rong put his hands on the edge of the observation deck, gritted his teeth and turned up with all his strength, lying on the observation deck with his mouth wide open and breathing heavily.

His expression was a little dazed, and he turned his palm to touch the flat observation deck under him, then turned his head and looked into the unfathomable darkness.

"I...I succeeded?"

"Yes...I succeeded...I...I climbed up...Hahahahaha!!!"

The heavy pressure brought by dozens of stone platforms all faded away the moment Mo Rong climbed onto the observation deck. At this moment, he only felt that his body was extremely light. With just a slight jump, he could fly across the clouds and rain.

During the climb, the extremely silent environment and the heavy and oppressive darkness tortured Mo Rong's mind every moment. If he hadn't known that he was not far from the observation deck, he would have collapsed halfway and become the person below. One of many masks.

After laughing wildly for a long time and gradually recovering his physical strength, Mo Rong managed to get up, retracted his gaze from the abyss, and turned to look at the stone door behind him with the White King's logo engraved on it.

"Hey~, what should I do with this thing?"

In my memory, if I want to open this stone door, I must have the mark of the king. Apart from the Colosseum of Fools, I have never even been to the edge of the kingdom seriously, so where did I get that thing?

Just when Mo Rong took out the bone nails and walked to the stone door, ready to see if he could break it open with force, another invisible white light flowed in his mask and melted into the stone door, and only a rumble could be heard. , the stone gate rose in front of Mo Rong.

"Huh? Is it starting now? I haven't started yet..."

Mo Rong repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around. After thinking about it carefully, he roughly guessed that it was the reason for his mask. It seemed that King Bai had not thought about actually trapping himself in the abyss forever.

The moment he walked out of the stone door, a deafening sound came from behind Mo Rong. Looking back, the stone door blocking the abyss was once again in front of his eyes. It was not like what he remembered after opening it once. will not appear again.

Mo Rong walked to the door again, but the stone door was indeed completely different from before. There was no reaction at all. He tried back and forth several times, but the result remained unchanged.

"If you want to come again, you must find a way to get the King's Mark."

After thinking about it, Abyss and his party had almost got everything they needed to get, except for the cave that had strict opening conditions and contained the Life Blood Core Talisman.

That talisman is not that important to him now, and it won't be too late to get it again if there is a chance in the future.

After all, apart from myself and the followers of the Joni tribe, no one probably knows the conditions for opening that place.

Mo Rong turned around and looked at the road leading here. It was not as dark as in his memory. A beam of light hit the ground not far away. Although the place was not bright, the surrounding area was clear. visible.

"Higher living beings, these words are only for you."

"Our pure vessel has risen, and all that remains is the rejection and regret of having created it."

"We won't go into that place again."

The weird characters formed a pattern that exuded a faint white light, just like the stone tablet on Wuthering Mountain Cliff. They were obviously symbols that I couldn't understand, but I could feel the meaning.

“The regret of rejecting and creating it?”

Mo Rong murmured, his eyes a little sarcastic.

He didn't think that King Bai would have these feelings, otherwise King Bai would have stopped long before those masks filled the abyss. Mo Rong doubted without hesitation that even if the cost of the container plan increased several times, King Bai would not There will be a little hesitation.

Maybe these words are self-deception?

Of course, it could also be for the White Lady. After all, Mo Rong knew that the White Lady had truly realized the mistake she had committed and sealed herself in the Queen's Garden.

Following the direction of the light beam, Mo Rong easily left the entrance of the abyss. When his body landed on the platform of the ancient basin, his eyes widened involuntarily.

It wasn't as dilapidated and old as he remembered, and there weren't many rocks piled up everywhere blocking the view.

Several stone pillars that reach straight to the sky and look like gray-white fangs rise from the ground, enveloping a huge palace with an arched dome. Viewed from a distance, it looks like it is shrouded in clouds and mist, but the majestic and majestic meaning behind it is still there. Like a strong wind blowing over the pavement, little white light particles rise and dance around the palace, like a dream, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a fairyland.

Mo Rong looked straight at the white palace, unable to recover for a long time. The gate of the palace still had the same shape as in his memory, familiar yet unfamiliar.

Is it so shocking in the game?

Maybe, but compared to what’s in front of you now, it’s a glimpse of the past.

The area where the ancient basin is located is far away from the surface, but it is even brighter than Ditmouth. Soft white light is scattered everywhere, making this land shine.

This must be the power of advanced beings. They can change the surrounding environment at will, which is really outrageous and staggering.

Mo Rongru thought.

He didn't dare to get too close, because he had died here not long ago. Although he had changed his face, it would be bad if there was someone who remembered his aura inside, and it would be bad if he was discovered.

However, what puzzled Mo Rong was that as the residence of the White King and the centerpiece of Hallownest, there were far fewer guards here than he had imagined. After looking around for a long time, he discovered that four or five guards were patrolling in front of the palace. It was really unsightly. .

"I didn't see that guy..."

Murong also wanted to try his luck to see if Ida was among the patrolling guards, but the result made him a little disappointed.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, messy footsteps came from behind Mo Rong, sparse and feeble, and then a large number of guards appeared in Mo Rong's field of vision.

"Why do these guards look so weak..."

Mo Rong hid behind a rock and watched, the doubts in his heart became much heavier.

"What happened outside? Why were so many guards dispatched at the same time?"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the whispers of the guards just solved Mo Rong's doubts.

"Phew, it's come to an end. Hey, tell me about those residents, why are they all acting as if they have lost their minds and are so aggressive?"

"Who knows, it's a good thing we came here early, otherwise the crossroads would be much deserted after those guys killed each other."

"Oh, I hope what you said is true, so that we don't have to do these thankless things..."

After the guard walked away, Mo Rong frowned and looked at it, then hurried away.

Losing their minds, being aggressive, and killing each other, the guards' words made Mo Rong immediately guess what happened.

"That guy from Radiation did it so quickly?"

When the Soul Master was killed by himself, he had never heard of this news. That was when he was in the abyss, something happened at the crossroads.

"Wusi, you must be well..."

The reason why Mo Rong is so anxious is because Wusi is at a crossroads. Although he is not affected by the plague, other changes are unknown whether they will happen. There is no harm in rushing there as soon as possible.

As he continued to climb up carefully along the route in his memory, Mo Rong did not encounter any other guards. Thinking that those he had just encountered must be all of them, this made him feel relieved. He quickened his pace again, and soon he started to climb up from the bottom. Jumped out from the entrance of the palace.

squeak......

The harsh friction sound gave Mo Rong goosebumps. Looking sideways, he saw that it was a tram with a warm yellow light emitting from inside that was parked at the platform.

"Tram? Who's here?"

Although Mo Rong was curious, he was also afraid of causing trouble and did not intend to wait and see any longer. He took advantage of the opportunity when the tram door was about to open and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

At this moment, a flash of extremely bright red broke into his peripheral vision, which was particularly dazzling in the vast gray and white. Looking back inadvertently, Mo Rong's pupils trembled violently, steady His steps became confused at this moment, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Little sister?!"
