Cataclysm King - #16 - Chapter 16: ninth day

  Chapter 16

  The spoils of A-level disaster explosions will naturally not disappoint.

  But this time the monster didn’t release any material, but all the energy of the corpse was gathered into a card.

   It is not a one-time skill card, but a practice card.

  The front of the card is a group of black monster patterns, and behind it is a silver pentagram.

  【Skill · Shadow Stealth】

  Detailed Explanation: Silver skill training card requires darkness affinity 15, after fusion mastering Shadow Stealing (Lv0), you will have the ability to blend into darkness;

  The girl with the mechanical arm looked at this card and whispered, “Huh, it turned out to be a practice card.”

  Ji Xun was dumbfounded again.

The    word is understood, but how can he understand the true value of this card.

  The girl with the mechanical arm seems to have gotten used to his ignorance that is revealed from time to time.

   This guy is obviously very smart, but it seems that he doesn’t know a lot of common sense.

oh!

  Low-level hunters of this kind of practice card can’t get in touch at all, so it’s normal to be surprised for a while.

She explained: “This legend is a card branded by the divine mind of an ancient spell card master. After that, you can directly master this skill. This is also one of the most sought-after commodities in the upper class, and its value is very high. And this [Dark Stealth] should be a lost assassin secret technique, at least I have never seen it, it is best not to Sold easily.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun only understood after listening.

   This is the ghostly body technique of the previous monster, which can hide the real body in the shadow. If professional assassins really need to master it, it will indeed have miraculous effects no matter whether it is life-saving or assassination.

  Ji Xun also finds it amazing that he can master skills without hard training, and directly engrave his soul.

   This thing is indeed attractive enough for rich people.

   As she spoke, the girl handed the card to him without hesitation, and said, “I’m not taking the Assassin career path, so this card is of no use to me.”

   “Then I will not be polite.”

   Ji Xun glanced at her, and put it away without refusing.

  My teammate is unwilling to take advantage of it, and I have learned this before.

   And she said it was worth money, so it must be.

   But looking at himself, the dark affinity value is only 1.

   It is still early to merge this card.

  In addition to this practice card, another ordinary black card appeared on the monster.

  The card has no effect at all, there are only two lines:

  「When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you again」

  「Before the dawn comes, someone must light up the darkness.」

  Ji Xun looked at the card, feeling vaguely reminded of something, and said, “This should be the last ‘key’ to pass the level.”

   It’s not like killing monsters before and bursting out skill cards, which can kill the boss of the next level.

  This time the card only has two sentences.

  The girl with the mechanical arm pondered for a moment, but she couldn’t figure out what this card was for. She could only ask, “What does this card mean?”

  Ji Xun: “Clues.”

  “.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm was speechless: Of course I know it is a clue, the key is the clue to what!

“I don’t know either.”

  Ji Xun understood her expression and spread his hands.

  He really didn’t know, and he asked a little helplessly: “You don’t think I know everything, do you?”

  The girl with the robotic arm didn’t speak, but the atmosphere was already here, and her expression signaled again: Don’t tell me you didn’t show it all this way?

  It seems that there is a kind of inertial thinking. When encountering puzzles, this guy will always decipher them from a tricky angle.

  Ji Xun guessed what she was thinking, smiled and shook his head.

He said: “It’s like playing a puzzle game. The planner behind the scenes deliberately left clues because he was afraid that you would not find the answer to clear the level; but he was afraid that the clues would be too obvious, so he made the clues obscure. Until a certain moment you need , will suddenly realize. This kind of decapitated clue, it is absolutely impossible for you to guess its intention the first time you get it.”

   These words are obviously convincing, and the expression of the girl with the mechanical arm under the gas mask also agrees.

  Ji Xun thought about it and said again: “We should be going to the last level. Usually, the last level is either the most difficult or unexpected.”

   As he spoke, he looked at the card and added: “From now on, it should be the latter.”

  The girl with the robotic arm didn’t speak, but looked at the two lines on the card, thinking.

  The two packed up their loot and continued to walk deep into the laboratory.

   It seems that Ji Xun guessed that they are about to face the last hurdle. So after killing the [Shadow Demon], he didn’t encounter any threatening deformed creatures.

   Some scattered mobs would occasionally run out from the corner of the laboratory, and the robotic girl could always detect them in advance and kill them easily.

  The two of them were walking, when Ji Xun suddenly said, “By the way, I would like to ask, what’s your name, Miss?”

   From the beginning to the end, the two of them never asked each other’s name, but thinking that it was a common trouble, he asked casually.

  “.”

  Hearing this, the girl with the mechanical arm walked on by herself without responding.

   Just when Ji Xun thought that the other party didn’t want to talk to him, he suddenly heard her respond lightly: “Ji Jiu.”

  Ji Xun thought about it: “Ninth day?”

   Obviously not a serious name, but a code name.

   But it doesn’t matter, it’s better than calling me a robot girl.

  Ji Xun also introduced himself: “Ji Xun. Nice to meet you.”

  The ninth day of the ninth day listened and remained silent.

   Ji Xun didn’t care either.

  My teammate is a bit cold, but he is still a good person.

  The two continued to walk toward the depths.

   After all, the laboratory has an end. After a short walk, they came to a rusted elevator.

   “Someone moved the elevator.”

   “Well, it should be the few mercenaries before.”

  The two checked the passage, and after finding no danger, they took the elevator.

  No matter how you look at it now, this is the way to the exit.

   This is like the kind of mine elevator that has been abandoned for decades. It is full of rust and creaks on the way up. It makes people tremble if they will suddenly fall down.

   Fortunately, there were no accidents. After rising to a height of more than 20 floors, they reached the top of the elevator.

  After walking through a narrow passage, they came to a wonderful mirror world.

  The ground is white, and the ceiling and walls are all mirrors of various sizes.

   Without sensing the monster’s breath, the two walked in.

  At first, there were only a few mirrors, but later, there were more and more mirrors.

  They saw countless selves, all kinds of strange selves, and countless pairs of eyes staring at each other.

  There are many strange things in the mirror, doubt, ignorance, anger, caution, fear, desire in the mirror, they seem to see everything in their hearts.

   There are also distorted mirror images, which are distorted desires.

   “Tsk tsk, interesting.”

  Ji Xun walked forward steadily.

  Others may feel uncomfortable looking at so many mirrors, but he has become accustomed to this situation.

  The picture in my mind at all times is like this, countless quarreling among myself.

   Now seeing the mirror image, Ji Xun doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

  But Chu Jiu beside him didn’t know what he saw in the mirror, and his breath was obviously a little disordered.

   Fortunately, Ji Xun saw her abnormality and patted her shoulder: “Let’s go.”

  On the ninth day of the ninth day, he recovered from that nightmare state.

  This “mirror room” does not seem to be difficult, and I don’t know what the test is.

  The two walked all the way.

   Suddenly that came to an end.

   Chujiu asked in surprise, “A dead end? A maze?”

   She was thinking about where she went wrong before, but Ji Xun narrowed her pupils slightly, but said, “No. We are here.”

   As soon as the words fell, the surrounding mirror light dispersed like an ebb tide.

   Looking again, the two had already appeared in an airtight iron cage.

  Enlightenment appears: “Enter the unknown space, discover a special hidden main line, and explore +5%”
