Ark of the Immortal

This is the final wall and the end of the tenth floor corridor.

Theresia looked at the wall, and the smile on her face became brighter.

Is this the end?

Yes.

The doctor's voice was a little quiet.

This is the end of the tenth floor.

What a pity...I still want to know more about the past.

Theresia took a long breath, turned around and said to the doctor.

Now that it's over, let's go back.

The doctor raised his head and met Theresia's eyes.

There was peace in those beautiful eyes.

My king...

No need to worry, I've made my choice.

Theresia spoke calmly.

“I expected it to be a heavy trip, but it was surprisingly easy.”

I originally thought that I would be afraid when facing death, but now it seems that I have some vague expectations.

The only pity is that I can't see that future, and I won't be able to see the ancient king whom you regard as a god.

The doctor opened his mouth.

My king, in fact, this is just a one-sided story that I know...

Theresia shook her head and firmly interrupted the doctor's words.

There is no need to feel sad because I will leave. Although this proposal was made by you, you must not feel any guilt.

Sometimes I question whether my ideas are correct. Facing the future you mentioned, I also have doubts.

But as you said, to deal with darkness, you must use fire.

Now that I think about it, if in that future, people are smiling, there is no need for discrimination, and they can freely enjoy their only once-in-a-lifetime life.

Then such a future is absolutely correct.

In the end, facing Theresia's gaze, the doctor chose to surrender.

He bowed heavily to Theresia.

Facing the doctor's salute, this true idealist woman stood dignifiedly and accepted the full courtesy.

Then she raised her arms.

Now, light the fire for me.

Theresia said so.

427. Kelsey’s trial

The journey to the tenth floor was certainly not smooth.

For Kelsey, this journey is more difficult than when she entered Alke.

Look at your frail appearance now. How is it different from you in the past?

Is this all you have grown during these ten thousand years of walking? So what is the meaning of everything you have experienced?

Not only is she faced with the heirs that may attack at any time, but Kelsey is always receiving the temptation and interference from the nightmare Theresia beside her.

Kelsey really only has some guesses about her purpose. But if a guess can't be confirmed, it's still just a guess.

Therefore, Kelsey ignored her and walked all the way to the lower level.

Along the way, what Kelsey sees always activates some familiar special points in her mind.

The murals in the corridors, the words and things hanging in the surrounding rooms all deeply stimulated Kelsey's thinking.

Her consciousness and thoughts began to quietly change in some strange way.

She didn't know if this was good or bad.

But at least, now she will not say a word to the nightmare next to her, nor will she have any reaction to her words.

Like a doll, with an expressionless face, heading to the next level.

In this situation, Kelsey and the symbiotic Mon3tor also exploded with more powerful combat power. Her dark body became more staring, and the flames spouting from her mouth became deeper.

No one knows how Mon3tor possessed Kelsey. But Mon3tor obeyed Kelsey's words as if he were a part of her.

As Kelsey becomes stronger, Mon3tor's power will gradually awaken.

Soon, the sound of Kelsey's march reached the ears of others.

There are two waves of people also on this ship.

Did you hear anything?

The Greyhound's ears stood up, and he looked around with some vigilance, ready to condense his Origin Stone skills and start fighting at any time.

The kind that makes a thumping sound, and a little bit of a...neighing sound?

The undead man looked at the gray dog ​​in silence, and then raised his right hand.

The gray dog ​​winced and he quickly defended.

No, I should be fine now. It's just that I feel some movement coming from below. My hearing has always been very good. Is it possible that others have come to this ship like us?

If there is, that means there is fighting.

The undead man slowly lowered his right hand and did not hit the gray dog ​​hard.

Instead, he pressed his palm against the wall next to him, trying to feel the fluctuations coming from below.

Just as Greyhound said, in the undead's exquisite feelings, he indeed heard the special sound just as Greyhound said.

There are people here, fighting.

The undead man was quick to judge.

Not far from us.

All floors of this ship are connected. As you go down layer by layer, you will naturally find more clues.

And they are on the third floor now.

This is what everyone learned on the way to collect information on the first floor, that floor where the coordinates may be hidden.

Let's complete the search on the third level first, and then talk about the rest.

Seeing that their minds were drawn to the battle again, W quickly spoke.

Don't forget, the further down you go, the stronger the strange attraction becomes for the greyhound.

It is almost certain that Theresia has become a strange symbol here.

Every time Greyhound went down a floor, he would feel the whispering in his ears becoming clearer, guiding him to continue walking forward, all the way down to the tenth floor, to meet him.

The most urgent task is to find the coordinates first.

The immortal nodded and then opened the door in front of him.

This is a double door made of wooden material.

Usually this kind of door is used to protect books and various paper documents.

As everyone thought, this is the place where documents are kept on the entire Alk ship.

As soon as I opened the door, I was filled with filing cabinets and wooden shelves.

And just when the three of them opened the door, they saw a special figure standing in front of one of the wooden frames.

He held a book in his hand and looked at it quietly in front of the wooden shelf.

He turned around when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

The three of them were stunned for a moment when they saw this figure.

PhD?

That's right, standing here is the doctor the three of them knew.

The doctor, who was wearing a jumpsuit and a hood, closed the book in his hand, nodded to the three of them, and said.

You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time.

...

All three of them had their own mental preparations for meeting the Doctor.

The undead thought that they would find the doctor in their dreams later, but they didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come here and wait for them.

There must be something he wants to talk to himself about, and the undead man knows it clearly.

Sure enough, after the doctor sent Greyhound and W to find the coordinates in this room with a brief language, the doctor pulled the undead man to the corner.

Say it.

The undead man leaned on the bookshelf and looked at the doctor in front of him.

What's the matter?

The doctor was in the dream. The Immortal only knew this news yesterday, but the Immortal was mentally prepared for this matter.

The doctor is always elusive every day, especially after recovering his memory, and he is very closely related to Agor, so it is a strange thing that he does not appear here.

You don't look surprised?

The doctor started the conversation between the two with rhetorical questions.

I thought you would be stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect you to be quite calm.

Kelsey, tell me. There are operators who will see you.

The immortal explained.

Besides, I guessed that you must have a way to follow us.

It's true. Alke's connection with me is closely related. What's more, it's not the first time I've come to this dream. If it weren't for my thoughts, maybe the dream itself wouldn't be able to pull me into it at all.

The doctor told this shocking fact in short and free words.

Immortals can also resist falling into dreams. But that was based on the initial fire he possessed as the starting point to resist the forced pull of the dream.

But how did the doctor do it?

Facing the undead man's confused look, the doctor just stretched out his hand.

He gently pulled off his gloves.

At this time, the immortal saw that there were cracks like spider webs on the doctor's barely exposed skin.

And just on these cracks, there is a bright material like lava, gradually flowing along the cracks.

After the doctor took off his gloves, the undead man could even see a little spark lingering around his body.

That's why I hardly show my appearance in front of ordinary people.

The doctor calmly put on his gloves again.

Since participating in the second ritual to awaken you, I have become what I am today.

The undead man was also stunned for a moment. He had no idea that the doctor standing in front of him would have such an appearance one day.

This is a trace that only exists when one is carrying flames. You...my intuition is correct.

Yes, from the time we met in Chernobog, you could see the source of my pain at a glance. I was indeed burned by fire.

The doctor nodded and officially opened this topic.

The awakening ceremony requires a member with a king's soul, and his soul is strong enough to withstand the burning of the flame, so as to ignite the first fire itself.

Has Kelsey told you?
