Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 348 Greed
Lin Luo's body disappeared the next moment and arrived in England, in the basement of the villa of the president of the Brotherhood of Magic.

Over a decade later, the old butler, lacking the support of supernatural powers, died of old age.

The butler was originally intended to be a messenger, but as things happened one after another, including the loss of contact with Ouroboros, Lin Luo began to overlook him.

By the time he remembered him, he had already passed away. There was no way to bring back someone whose soul had dissipated, so he simply ignored him.

Human life is far too fragile in the face of God.

We arrived at the sealed metal gate.

His body became transparent, and the next moment, he appeared in the underground base, which was still the same as before, resembling an alchemy research institute.

The embryos of those unknown ancient races were still soaking in the petri dishes, but no one was taking care of them. Over the past ten years, the nutrient solution in the petri dishes had become cloudy.

It appears that the medicine had spoiled over time.

Without looking at it for long, Lin Luo looked at the big screen, where a scarlet exclamation mark was flashing continuously.

A series of incredibly clear fluctuations swept across his body, as if trying to confirm whether it was him, but hesitated to confirm because of his changes.

"You're back."

Lin Luo spoke with absolute certainty: "Or rather, you didn't escape."

In an instant, the huge red exclamation mark froze, and then the scanning fluctuations vanished instantly, as a connection from a higher dimension was severed.

All the alchemical inscriptions here have solidified at this moment.

After about thirty seconds, everything returned to its original state.

Text began to appear on the large screen.

[Congratulations, Fear! You must be a top-tier demon wizard now, right?]

[I never imagined that you, who were weaker than me back then, would have reached a level I could never attain. Even in my time, you would have been among the strongest demon wizards.]

The words kept appearing, seemingly trying to conceal something.

It did not escape. Now that the age of demons has temporarily passed, the balance is expanding rapidly, and the scope of the balance is also expanding rapidly.

This expansion is just a concept; it doesn't mean how fast it's spreading to any particular area.

Instead, as soon as a portion of the balance is restored, a large area directly enters a state of balance.

Once the underlying balance is restored to a certain extent, it will permeate the entire universe.

Therefore, after the Demon Dragon incident, the greed of the Void, which was still studying outside of the Balance, once again became a part of the Balance.

He can't possibly escape.

Lin Luo smiled and said calmly, "Let me guess, you've made a substantial breakthrough in your research on the void, and you came back because you were scared, right?"

A new line of text appeared on the screen, then stopped, and no more text appeared, as if the computer had crashed.

It's actually not hard to guess.

Given Greed's personality, even if he ultimately couldn't escape the balance's coverage, he wouldn't come back. In most cases, he would contact Greed in the form of a message, just like when he told Greed about the concept of parallel worlds last time.

After all, this is the center of the universe, the origin of balance. The closer you are, the easier it is to get caught in the vortex of balance.

There is only one way to get him back: the outside world must be more dangerous, to the point that he feels threatened with death, which is why he would come back to escape the threat.

silence.

No text appeared on the screen, as if the person controlling the computer had escaped again.

Lin Luo waited for about a minute, then turned around, intending to leave immediately. He probably already knew what had happened.

At this point, if this guy is playing dead, then he's fine with it; he probably won't be of much use anymore.

Da da da.
Behind me, the sound of a typewriter began to play.

Lin Luo stopped in his tracks. It would be even better if this guy were willing to say something.

Turning around, the words on the large screen came into view: 【Fear, fear, have you found me yet?】

"Guess." A hint of interest appeared on Lin Luo's lips.

He could indeed sense the approximate location of greed. Now, at the peak of the fourth level of authority, his understanding and sensitivity to fear had reached the highest level in the world.

The fear emanating from greed was as vivid as a lamp in the night in Lin Luo's eyes, even with over a thousand layers of magic and alchemical arrays separating them.

He even knew now that Greed was using alchemical sealing techniques to seal himself away, attempting to evade his observation through self-sealing.

Of course, the more important reason is that this guy is very close to a horror amusement park game pod, and the alchemy technology used by the game pod's main brain is even stronger than the alchemy technology of Greed.

Naturally, the alchemical fluctuations on his body were detected. After locking onto him, Lin Luo focused his attention on him. With the suppression of the third-level authority by the fourth-level authority, it was easy to determine that the guy attached to the goblin was Greed!
Yes, your guess is correct. It seems you've studied the book 'Living' very carefully; the knowledge within is indeed useful.

The greedy words no longer flowed intermittently, as if they had given up the struggle, or as if they had abandoned their fear.

In Lin Luo's eyes, the creature's body suddenly froze, and then, along with its goblin host, it was annihilated inch by inch.

They have completely disappeared without a trace.

Fear, do not look at me, I am afraid.

Lin Luo nodded: "We are friends."

Yes, we are friends.

"So, the immortal gods are indeed in the void?"

Lin Luo asked.

The screen went silent again, this time for about three minutes.

The words then began to appear.

You are incredibly intelligent, the most perceptive person I've ever met. Some of my survival rules seem to have become tools for you to read information.

"But I really can't find you, and it would be difficult to kill you."

Lin Luo did not deny that these were indeed things gleaned from acts of greed.

Although most of it was guesswork and intuition, judging from the greedy reaction, it seems that the guess was correct.

【.】

A scrambled string of characters appeared on the screen.

Lin Luo realized that killing him would be difficult. To this guy with MAX paranoia, what difference was there between that and just saying he wanted to kill him?
I waited for another ten minutes or so.

The text reappeared, and from this it's clear that this guy probably really did see the immortal god.

They're so scared now that even if there's a possibility of their lives being in danger, the fear hasn't disappeared immediately.

However, in those ten minutes, this guy has most likely moved to many different places and added a lot of ways to save his life.

They only resumed communication after they felt it was safe to do so.

Don't scare me; you know I'm easily frightened.

"Let's get down to business. I'm very interested in immortal gods, such as what state they are in now and how to find them."

【it is good. 】

Before I talk about them, I want to share my escape plan, and I hope you can help me. This time, I really have a chance to escape the balance, and if possible, I hope you can come with me.

Lin Luo:.
"You said."

I've explained the concepts of void, parallel universes, and interference between parallel universes to you before.

For years after I began communicating with you, I waited for you to fix time, but it never happened. So I started studying time as well as space.
