Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 418 Azik, the Chaos Physician

Inside the house, in the foyer, newspapers unfolded on their own, flipping rapidly until the last page, then they fell haphazardly onto the chairs, stacking together with the previous ones.

Fully automatic Pales, a high-end furniture concierge.

Suddenly, the newspapers seemed to sense something, and their sorting speed increased dramatically, completing the distribution in less than a second.

Some flew swiftly to the shelf in the study on the first floor, while others rushed toward the scissors, helping them to tear themselves to pieces, and then lined up and surged into the bathroom, where they were thrown into the toilet.

Wow.

The toilet's mechanical button sank down on its own, flushing the paper scraps down the drain.

Bills and letters continued to fly inward, into the living room.

The former quickly stopped, shook a few times, and then floated leisurely to the surface of the coffee table, where it was neatly laid out.

The latter, those with envelopes, removed them; those without envelopes quickly opened themselves, displaying their forms in mid-air.

Soon, it was all over.

The room became quiet, leaving only Leonard, who had changed his clothes and gone downstairs.

He rubbed his temples wearily, walked to the sofa, sat down, and looked up at the ceiling.

Last night, I was exhausted in the simulated universe. Although my status will be refreshed when I wake up the next day, I'm still mentally exhausted. Playing a chase inside the stomach of a giant ancient beast is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Jingle Bell.

Doorbell rang.

Leonard shook his disheveled hair, straightened his clothes, and went to open the door.

That was a member of the Red Gloves team named Shi Bei'an.

“Coming to my house so early? I didn’t prepare breakfast for you,” Leonard said with a smile.

“You probably won’t even get to eat the breakfast you prepared for yourself,” Shi Bei’an replied. “I have a mission. Go to Xibailang.”

"Go to West Baron?" Leonard pointed at himself, incredulous. "Me? Go on a three-day ship trip to West Baron for a mission? Is the captain drunk?"

"We all have to go, hurry up or we'll be late."

…………

The raging sea.

A man with soft features, bronze skin, and weathered eyes traversed the spirit world at great speed.

One by one, the colored blocks flew by quickly, and He entered the raging sea region swept by a dark storm and streaked by shadowy lightning.

He eventually accepted Serres's advice and took the "Mortal Potion".

He absorbed the potion very quickly, his power rising rapidly, as if he had already performed a role in advance.

But He was certain that He had not played many of the sequences beforehand.

The ordinary people of Sequence Nine digested it smoothly, without any obstacles.

Although this sequence doesn't sound very appealing, it's something that's been around for thousands of years, and it's impossible to say that you didn't play that role beforehand.

He still has some sense of shame.

After that, Serres gave Him a potion that went from Sequence 8 to Sequence 4, telling Him that His advancement would be quick.

At first, Azik didn't quite understand why, until he saw the name of the potion and drank it.

The same applies to the Sequence 8 "Guardian of the Dead" and the Sequence 7 "Blood Sin Spirit," which can be easily bypassed.

For some reason, after consuming the potion, He vaguely sensed a power that did not belong to the extraordinary potion and was different from the Destiny Potion.

When it came to the "Death Refusal" in Sequence Six, Azik even had some doubts.

Were these made specifically based on His experiences?
Each one is perfectly suited to Him, and He has gained insights from each one.

He went further and further down this path, and felt that a path was almost an illusion before him.

It wasn't until Sequence 5, "Thunder Musician" Azik, that he finally felt a little stuck.

This is also a sequence that Azik is certain he did not play in advance.

But at this moment, Azik had already stepped onto that illusory path, feeling it pulling him like a whirlpool. Sequence Five "Thunder Musician," Sequence Four "Rescuer," and Sequence Three "Chaos Healer." These three were completely opposite to the previous four sequences; instead of pulling Azik into that path, they seemed to be desperately pushing him away.

The essence of a magic potion is to make people stray from its original nature.

This was the first time Azik had ever seen such a peculiar situation.

But as Azik became engrossed in the path, he suddenly sensed a tremendous threat.

He was forcibly dragged onto this path.

At this moment, Azik first learned about the concept of destiny and the name of this destiny.

【nothingness】.

This is indeed very suitable for Him, but it seems to be a little too suitable.

He felt himself trapped in an endless vortex, and everything from the past turned into colorless gray.

Everything became meaningless.

The "Thunderbolt" potion released a tiny electric current within Him, attempting to add a faint touch of purple to His already gray world.

To combat this sense of emptiness, Azik didn't even have time to prepare a ritual or act out the scene before drinking both the Sequence Four "Savior" and the Sequence Three "Doctor of Chaos" in one go.

The absence of ritual actually helped Him.

A chaotic red appeared before Him, followed by a jumble of colors, like a child's messy scribbles.

This made His world colorful again, even though it was a mess.

These magical potions desperately pushed Him away from this fate, trying to keep Him away from the abyss of "self-destruction."

Then He began to recall His past lives, slowly adding color to His world.

The life experiences He had gone through over the past thousand years became His anchor, barely stabilizing His state.

Finally, the ethereal [ashes] were gathered together by Him and barely separated from the spirit body.

It was not completely separated; it still remained within Him, constantly eroding Him and dragging Him into the abyss of "meaninglessness."

But Azik seemed to be thinking, as if he had guessed what Serres was thinking.

And so, Azik Eggers became a Chaos Doctor.

Time returns to the present.

The outline of this Quaternary "death ruler" was taut, and there was not a single extra curve at the corner of his mouth.

He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the calls that seemed to come from nowhere, then suddenly clenched his right hand.

All the surrounding spiritual realms collapsed inward, transforming into a dark vortex that slowly rotated without any visible edge.

The vortex was faintly visible, as if it was still missing something to take shape.

But that doesn't matter.

Azik didn't care at all, reached into the constantly spinning vortex, and pulled hard.

stab.

This vortex is a seal, but this seal, which is not yet fully opened, is meaningless under Azik's tearing.

The vortex suddenly expanded, tore open, and swallowed Azik.

Passing through the vortex, Azik found himself in a dark but vast underworld space.

All around were open coffins, inside which lay rotting corpses with white feathers growing on their backs.

Azik paid no attention to the corpses, but gazed at the layers of steps leading into the depths of the mausoleum.

Thick black mist hung in the air, flowing slowly like smog.

He adjusted the half-height silk hat on his head and walked down the steps into the depths of the dark mausoleum.

The black mist that permeated the area slowly spread outwards, gradually revealing the illusory things that had been lurking at the bottom.

It was a feathered serpent so large it seemed it could occupy an entire island, a gigantic feathered serpent with the face of Azik.
