Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The puppet, which is mainly made of void matter, is placed on one side of the secret room. The stone egg is still emitting light, as if it is welcoming the next new student.

"How is this possible? The combination of two powerful forces cannot limit it?"

King Bai looked at the orange glowing puppet in front of him and frowned. He didn't understand why the creation that combined the power of him and the void could not prevent the power in the dream liquid from leaking out.

A lot of time has passed since the puppet was born.

It is undeniable that they only obey his will, and there is no possibility of anything strange happening. He has planned to put these puppets in armor and make them the most powerful guards of the palace.

But the problem is that his purpose is not to create some soldiers who obey him, but a container that can withstand the power of the ancient god.

Over the past few days, he had changed the level of injection and no longer used the data used to create the puppet before. However, the results disappointed him. The error of this experiment actually continued to increase as the number of times increased.

You must know that before the puppet became a puppet, he could clearly see the changes in the degree of soul infusion, but now he is confused.

"Could it be that the level of injection of the puppet's soul has reached its optimal level, and any further deviations will not suffice?"

This is a suspicion that King Bai doesn't want to admit, but the number of failures far greater than before seems to confirm this view.

"The power of the void will not change, and my soul cannot be injected too much. Although it has formed the best state, it still cannot solve the problem..."

King Bai sat at the table, looked at the jar of void matter on it, released his soul aura, and compared it carefully.

The energy contained in the void material is chaotic and disorderly, which is exactly the opposite of the aura he exudes. It is precisely because his own power just stabilizes one end of it after injecting his soul that the puppet is so orderly.

Since on the contrary, if the two forces exist in one body, they will more or less conflict, then will there be confusion between Void and his will?

But if there is chaos, why can't the puppet show it?

These problems gave him a headache. He seemed to have entered a dead end between these two forces, and he could not get out.

Looking at the white-lighting eyes of the puppet in the distance, King Bai once again fell into deep thought.

Since forward thinking doesn't work, then do the opposite.

If you want to create a container that can seal the ancient god, especially if the ancient god can control dreams, the container must not have a mind, otherwise it will be easily infected.

In addition to this, the instinct of the container must be defined, otherwise the meaning of its birth will be distorted. Furthermore, it cannot submit to the chaos of the void. The act of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall is not advisable.

The latter point can already be achieved through the soul he injects, but regarding the issue of mind, if he seals the influence of his soul power, he will be robbed by void matter if he fails to protect it.

Thinking of this, his brows gradually widened.

That's right, now he needs a power between the two to ensure that his mind is blank, and the level of this power cannot be too low, otherwise it will be swallowed by him and the power of the void.

It was as if fate was destined to involve her in this chaos.

Although it was just a guess, he couldn't give up on the current situation.

King Bai sighed helplessly, stood up and walked towards the main hall.

......

An ink-like night shrouds the sky over the City of Tears, and the street lamps on the streets, like braided shells, shine on the patrolling sentries. Their footsteps seem particularly out of place in this silent night.

"There is nothing abnormal here, let's go over there and have a look."

"Row."

The two sentries carried the bone nails on their shoulders and walked to another place unsteadily.

In fact, most of the sentinels in the City of Tears are idlers. Under Lurian's supervision, almost no one dares to cause trouble here.

But today is different.

After seeing the patrolling sentry leave, Mo Rong walked out of the shadows on the side.

As a void material, he has a natural concealment advantage almost at night. The sentries walked past several times but were unable to find him.

The purpose of his coming today is to sneak into the Soul Sanctuary.

Several days have passed since the last time a volunteer took the test, but there is still no news about the experiment on the notice board at the bottom of the tower.

If you wait one more day, the shaman in the Soul Sanctuary will be in more danger, so Mo Rong decided to go in first to explore the way, just in case he couldn't find the way on the day of the experiment.

Mo Rong picked up a rag and wrapped it around himself, with only a pair of eyes exposed on his head, and sneaked all the way to the tower, but now a problem made him difficult.

If you want to go to the Soul Sanctuary at the top of the tower, you have to take the elevator, but the sound it makes is not small. In this case, using it is to remind the sentry tower outside that there is movement in the tower.

Just when Mo Rong was considering whether to force his way in, the elevator suddenly slowly rose upwards, scaring him so much that he hurriedly hid in the darkness.

After a while, just when Mo Rong thought the sentry would arrive here soon, the elevator in front of him descended first.

I knew them in that disguise, they were scholars from the Soul Sanctuary.

The three of them walked out chatting and laughing. Mo Rong calmed down and listened for a while. Except for the scholar's footsteps, there was no other sound.

"Huh? The sentry didn't come?"

Just in case, Mo Rong waited for a few more moments. After confirming that there was no movement, he activated the elevator and went up.

Although he didn't know why the patrolling sentry didn't come, he was sure that he could use the elevator, which was considered lucky.

Going all the way up, Mo Rong finally came to the Soul Sanctuary soon. At this moment, he also understood the reason why the sentinel did not come.

There is actually a special patrol of sentries in this Soul Sanctuary, and there are only a lot more than outside. It is almost nonsense for anyone to want to break into this place silently.

"Well, it seems we can't do anything without making some noise today."

Mo Rong slowly pulled out the bone nails from his back, roughly planned the route and the sentinels to be stunned, and immediately launched his moth-wing cloak to attack the sentinels.

The poor sentry fainted before he could realize what happened. Although Mo Rong supported him and put him down gently, he was still noticed by the sentry not far away.

"Who?!"

Now that the stealth has been discovered, he has to implement the plan quickly. With this thought, he rushed towards the sentry who made the noise again. Although the sentry had already put up a defensive posture, he never thought that the person who attacked him was the trial contestant. champion.

A sentry fell down again. As he went all the way, four or five sentries fell under Mo Rong's bone nails one after another.

The other sentries stopped coming forward when they saw this, and instead ran towards another place.

Mo Rong was not idle either and chased after them.

In fact, he originally planned to go to another place, but when he saw the sentries evacuating in an orderly manner, he understood that those people were definitely not trying to escape, but instead were probably concentrating their efforts to protect something.

Following the group of sentries to a secret room, Mo Rong saw a familiar device.

Looking up intently, the embarrassed figure was none other than the Snail Shaman.

The group of guards surrounded the shaman, holding bone nails to prevent sneak attacks from the darkness.

Morong saw that although the shaman was a little weak, but he was not yet dying, he silently noted the route, turned around and ran away.

He could deal with that group of sentries, but not now. The noise he made was definitely not small. The sentries downstairs were probably on their way over.

Sure enough, just when Mo Rong was about to take the elevator to leave, there were many hurried footsteps from the floor below.

Seeing this, if you take the elevator down, you will definitely be surrounded by many people, and there will be no way back.

Looking at the surrounding stone walls, Mo Rong's eyes lit up and he put on the amulet he bought from Saruba before.

Flowers of destruction.

The moment he put it on, he found a stone wall under the elevator, with a faint red light shining in his eyes.

That's it!

After starting the elevator, Mo Rong immediately charged up his strength. The moment he reached the position, he slashed hard, causing the stone wall to shatter. He then passed through the hole and fled to another place.

The elevator slowly bottomed out, and there were indeed many sentries surrounding it, setting up bone nails facing it, as if it would be pierced the moment it stopped.

But after everyone saw that there was no one inside, they were dumbfounded and quickly started it to rise again. Only then did a group of people see that there was a big hole in the wall of the elevator shaft.

......

Mo Rong escaped from the tower, threw away the sentry, and ran all the way to the alley tavern, where he ordered a glass of wine and drank.

Tonight's sneaking was so smooth!

......

went well? Maybe.

Mo Rong didn't notice at all that someone was staring at him, from sneaking to escaping into the tavern.

Of course he wouldn't notice it, because that gaze came from above the spire.
