Chapter 3888 Come... let's fall into the abyss of gambling together!
[The Beginning Four], Hyakugaku Dream... This is an existence that even an ancient black soul like Gao Chang Gong would feel incredibly mysterious about.
He didn't even know how long Hyakumu had existed—because before he became a Soul Envoy, Hyakumu was already [Beginning Four]... and always had been.
Needless to say, its origins are probably only known to the original "Holy Lord"—of course, a large part of the reason is likely related to Hyakubamu's special abilities.
The Golden Palace always gave Gao Chang Gong a feeling that was both familiar and strange... Clearly, this was not his first time here, but he had no recollection of how many times he had come or what he had come for.
At this moment, the red-eyed, long-haired girl on the golden throne lazily asked, "Gao Chang Gong, why are you here instead of being by Fu Xi's side?"
Old Gao was quite surprised by the question. He carefully said, "Lord Meng, back then, the Holy Land suffered a great upheaval, and the Soul Palace was shattered... Don't you know about this? I only recently woke up."
"The events of the Old Gods?" The girl... Hyakumu said calmly, "I've forgotten everything from before."
"What?" Gao Changgong couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Bai Shimeng chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Is it strange? I actually find it strange too, but after thinking about it, there's probably only one possibility."
Gao Changgong's expression turned highly focused... He couldn't possibly ask his current boss about things from the time of the [Holy Land]—moreover, his current boss was separated from the [Holy Lord] by a [previous] leader.
"I must have used [Forget] on myself."
Hyakushimu gave Gao Changgong an unexpected answer... yet it seemed to be the most reasonable one.
Gao Chang Gong was so shocked he could barely speak... Only these most ancient Soul Envoys could possibly know the truth behind the upheaval at the Holy Land, yet Lady Meng claimed to have used the Oblivion spell on him...
In this case……
"Really, have you forgotten everything?" Gao Changgong murmured to himself.
Hyakushimu's voice seemed ethereal, a sound falling from the heavens, "I forgot everything so completely, which makes me very curious about what kind of mental state I was in when I used [Forgetfulness] on myself. Fear? Confusion? Anger... or even despair? But it doesn't seem to matter, after all, I've lived to this day."
Gao Changgong remained silent.
Bai Shi Meng suddenly chuckled, "Oh, right, I almost forgot... Soul Envoys are too hard to kill, so it doesn't seem like a big deal that I can't die."
“Lord Meng,” Gao Changgong took a deep breath, “didn’t you ever think of investigating this?”
"Why investigate?" Bai Shi Meng asked curiously. "No matter what state I was in when I used [Forget] on myself, it means that I had thought through all the consequences back then, and it also means that the choice I made at that time was the optimal solution. Since my past self chose to [Forget] everything, why should I care about my present self or my future self? As a Soul Envoy, the most important thing is to be happy."
Gao Changgong could probably understand this mentality... In short, all the original-level Dark Souls are very unique.
"Lord Meng, would you like to hear about what has happened to me recently?" Gao Changgong suddenly asked.
Hyakushimu casually said, "If you weren't interested, you'd probably have been kicked out by now."
—She definitely has the ability!
Gao Changgong had no doubt about the truth of the other party's words, and the truth might even be that after he was badly beaten and kicked out, he would forget about it... Next time he would probably still come respectfully.
"Let's go somewhere else," Bai Shimeng suddenly said. "After all, you are one of Fuxi's most valued people. Since you've come here, I can't just not treat you well... After all, I'm very generous."
……
Few people who run casinos are stingy... After all, most people who make a quick buck can't hold onto their money.
The meal that Hyakushimu mentioned was extremely luxurious, and even the tableware was made of the ultra-rare material called "Cherish Time Gold"—yes, the same material he used to give to Lady Nan.
Once hailed as the wealthiest Soul Envoy in the "Holy Land"... Gao Chang Gong could never have imagined just how rich Hyakumon was.
In the era of the Old Gods, this one gambling city alone was enough to make Bai Shi Meng's performance far ahead, leaving the Soul Envoys far behind... It's not that no Soul Envoy has tried to create a second Void Gambling City, and there have even been other Primordial Soul Envoys who have done similar things.
But without exception, they all failed—and even forgot that they had ever made such an attempt.
—This track belongs exclusively to Hyakki Yako; other guys shouldn't even think about it.
—After all, what if one day Hyakki Yako appears in front of you and tells you that you've eaten shit, but you've forgotten it...? What would you think?
These are the words that Lord Fuxi once told him... They sound incredibly powerful!
Multitasking, Lao Gao silently recounted his experiences after waking up... Basically, apart from not revealing the details of the [task] that Boss Luo had given him, there was nothing else to hide.
Hyakushimo listened casually, and even ate a piece of cake in a good mood at one point.
She slowly wiped her bright red lips. "So, did you succeed?"
"What?" Gao Changgong was instinctively taken aback.
Bai Shimeng smiled and said, "That newcomer, Hei Hun, is called 'Miss Nan' or something? Did you successfully help her become the official wife? Did the new 'Holy Lord' leave any offspring?"
“…” Gao Changgong was stunned.
—No, why are you interested in this kind of thing?
However, given the terrifying nature of the person before him, Gao Changgong honestly replied, "I think... the new Holy Lord probably doesn't have any interest in that area for the time being; he may not be very interested in pleasure."
"Hmm...is that so?" Hyakushime blinked her beautiful red eyes, then suddenly cupped her face in her hands and said, "I wonder if you'll like my type?"
Gao Changgong's heart skipped a beat... The Lord Meng, who was holding his face and smiling, was just too crazy. This kind of facial expression was impossible to imitate.
"Lord Meng, have you never even met the new Holy Lord?" Gao Changgong suddenly asked, interrupting Bai Shimeng's dramatic facial expressions.
“Before you came to me, I didn’t feel there was anything worth seeing,” Bai Shi Meng said calmly. “I didn’t even see the last one many times, let alone this one… However, logically speaking, I should indeed pay my respects.”
Gao Changgong asked curiously, "What kind of person was the previous one?"
“A boring man,” Hyakumo said calmly. “He’s not interested in anything and locks himself in his room all day. If he couldn’t talk, I would have thought he had been completely assimilated by the [Root] and was just a program.”
She paused, squinted at Gao Changgong, and asked in return, "So, in your opinion, what kind of person is the current one...?"
“I don’t know yet.” Gao Changgong shook his head. “He might be a pure person… but it’s also possible that he hasn’t been in charge of the shop for long and hasn’t had time to change his nature yet.”
Hyakumo blinked and said with a smile, "So, you're the cute younger, puppy-like type?"
Gao Changgong was startled and subconsciously said, "Lord Meng, I must remind you... I feel that the new Holy Lord is probably even more terrifying than the old Holy Lord. I can vaguely sense that the new Holy Lord also possesses another power no less than the [Root]..."
Bai Shimeng frowned almost imperceptibly, then her eyes brightened. "Now that you mention it, I'm even more interested."
Gao Changgong gave a bitter laugh to himself, feeling as if he had come to the wrong place this time.
"The new Holy Lord is currently in sub-world number 003," Gao Changgong said after thinking for a moment. "He is running a new hotel."
“The World of Sub-World No. 003?” Bai Shimeng seemed to be thinking, then thought for a moment and said, “Gao Changgong, you came to see me this time... it can't be just to inquire about some things from the [Holy Land] back then, right?”
Gao Changgong said solemnly, "I would also like to borrow something from you, Lord Meng..."
Before Gao Changgong could finish speaking, Bai Shimeng said, "I can lend you anything, even my life. But you should know my rules... Gao Changgong, do you want to have a thrilling gamble with me?"
A bead of cold sweat, barely perceptible, appeared on Gao Chang Gong's temple. He let out a soft sigh, his cold face beneath the mask unusually cautious. "Yes, Lord Meng, please make a bet with me."
"Then... let's plunge into the abyss of gambling, my little darling!"
……
……
Outside the Golden Palace, the Golden Guard stood like an insurmountable iron wall.
【Xin Shisan】He kept shaking his legs high in the air, looking increasingly anxious—Mr. Gao has been inside for a while now, why hasn't he come out yet?
Has the big boss forgotten about me?
But Xin Shisan had no courage to rush in—on the edge of the golden continent of Eslord, there was a magnificent gallows… on which hung the corpses of countless troublemakers who had once caused trouble in Eslord.
Finally, just as Xin Shisan's patience ran out and he was about to muster the courage to ask the commander of the Golden Guard about something, the gates of the Golden Palace slowly opened!
A figure flew out from the Golden Palace... dressed in white!
Xin Shisan's eyes lit up immediately. To be able to see the Golden Empress and emerge alive from the Golden Palace, the boss was indeed a big shot. He couldn't even imagine how high-level Mr. Gao must be!
It's just... it seems like the big boss took off his mask?
So this is what the big boss looks like... [Xin Shisan] gasped in shock. The supposedly amazing figure of [Anna], one of the twelve top [golden dealers] in the casino, was utterly vulgar!
The big boss is actually like this? [Xin Shisan] feels that he can actually be like this too...
He swallowed hard and quickly called out, "Mr. Gao, you're out! I've been waiting for you for so long... Are you alright?"
Gao Changgong silently flew past the ranks of the Golden Guard and finally stopped beside Xin Shisan... He ignored Xin Shisan, but suddenly turned around, glanced at the high-hanging Golden Palace, and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Gao... Mr.? Big Boss?"
"How long have I been inside?" Gao Changgong took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
Xin Shisan subconsciously said, "It's been quite a while, about four hours, hasn't it?"
“Two hours…” Gao Changgong muttered to himself, then suddenly frowned and subconsciously reached into his robes, pulling out a box no bigger than the palm of his hand.
"What is this?" Xin Shisan asked curiously.
“What I originally came to find…” Gao Changgong’s brows furrowed even deeper, and he subconsciously touched his cheek, which was now free of its mask. “Did I win? But why…”
Sure enough, everything after he went inside began to fade from his memory, and the process was getting faster and faster. He couldn't even remember the details of the betting game, and the things he had said to Hyakushime were also becoming blurry.
Next, almost everything will be forgotten, at most only the fact that he had been here...
"Boss, are you alright..." Xin Shisan asked tentatively.
Gao Changgong suddenly jolted awake and grabbed Xin Shisan's shoulder, shouting, "Xin Shisan, come with me!"
"Huh? Let's go...oh..."
Before Xin Shisan could react, Gao Changgong had already teleported him away from the Void Gambling City continent and disappeared into the starry sky.
At this moment, Lao Gao... as if it were an instinctive reaction, only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
As for the Golden Guard, they quietly returned to the Golden Palace.
They were neither curious about nor dared to be curious about any of this.
Because they had already completely surrendered themselves to the Empress in the Golden Palace...
……
"Little guy, you run pretty fast..."
On the palace terrace, Hyakushime sat casually on the railing.
One long, slender leg, encased in black stockings, hung down naturally, while the other leg was bent and wrapped around her, supporting her chin.
"However, it did give me a pleasant afternoon..."
A satisfied smile graced her face.
On the small table beside the terrace, there was a crystal diamond-shaped mask, and... a beating black heart inside a container!
“A hidden power no less than the [Root]…” Hyakumu suddenly narrowed her eyes, “It seems that only the eternal [Fate] remains… Should I go and see this new 'master'?”
Just then, several maids gracefully entered the terrace.
One of the maids whispered, "Master, it's almost time for today's challenge."
“Then let’s begin~” Hyakushimu looked around at the entire casino continent beneath the Golden Palace, a fanatical look on her face. “Let the heartbeats of those who have staked their entire lives please me… that is the most wonderful thing.”
Clang—clang—clang—!
Twelve enormous bells rang out in succession across the Golden Continent!
In an instant, the entire golden continent seemed to be fully activated, bursting forth with countless dazzling lights, along with exciting screams, wild laughter, wails, and roars...
They intertwine and converge.
