Blackworm Dining Cart, the highest-end restaurant in 3888.
The city lord Price also hosted a dinner to celebrate the successful completion of William's journey. For the city lord, more than eighty days was nothing, as he had long been accustomed to the passage of time.
Moreover, as a Moon Mouse, he could clearly feel that the 'Moon' part of William's body was also completed and amplified, which was more in line with his fantasy of the Silver Moon Queen.
However, as the delicious food was served, Price was completely immersed in it and didn't care about these things for the time being.
At the dining table, perhaps because he had been soaking in the silver liquid pool for too long, William, who had been crawling in the abyss for a whole week, still didn’t feel hungry at all, and his desire to eat was very average.
While cutting the staple food, he asked Jin who was sitting opposite him.
"I remember that the Tumor Knights should be very strict. Would the Cancer Palace let you out for so long?"
Jin's mouth, which he used to eat, was never idle. Through the directed proliferation of cancer cells, a temporary secondary mouth with a vocal cord structure grew on the back of his right hand.
"Ah? I went back once a month ago, and then I found an opportunity to slip away. Not only did the Lord not hold me accountable, he also approved of my going out.
Because I found something good in the Dark Land, something rare and precious even in the Order of the Tumor. Although I haven't found a way to repair and use it, I have already vaguely figured out some tricks."
"What good stuff?"
“These are relics left over from the invasion war… and they are relatively intact, not ‘hidden relics’ that have been stolen.
Thanks to Price's familiarity with the area, he led us to the Dark Nest Mine and discovered a hidden passage inside. With the help of the evil light from the Thirteenth Sister, the seal from the ancient times was forcibly dispelled, and we found a collapsed place that had never been discovered before."
William's interest shifted instantly. The food in front of him no longer had any appeal. "War relics? I don't have any on me... Let me see."
"I told you to show it, so I'll show it to you. We've been waiting for you, William, for a long time. We're so bored.
"You can watch it if you want, but you have to show me what you gained from the abyss first. William, you should not only complete the path, but your contact with the tenth abyss should also bring you a lot of changes, right?"
William nodded undeniably. "The abyss has indeed had an impact and changed me, but if this characteristic is revealed, it may affect your meal."
"Can you still make us starve? Stop talking nonsense and show me. In exchange, I will show you the war relics I found."
"All right."
Ka~A crisp sound came from the spine on William's back, as if the entire spine had come alive and even began to wriggle slightly.
Something moved beneath the skin of my shoulders and moved slowly up my neck to my face.
"hand?"
Jin, who was eating, slowly stopped and caught a glimpse of an object with a palm structure swimming under William's skin, but it was one size larger than an ordinary person's hand.
Soon, the moving palms reached the face and went out directly at the temples.
The material of the palm is between black stone and human skin, exuding a strong breath of the abyss.
When the palms that appeared on the left and right slowly covered William's face completely and connected into a "mask".
Buzz!
An indescribable aura spread out with William as the center.
Jin, who was sitting opposite, clearly felt a sticky substance spreading over, instantly covering the entire dining area. At the same time, she felt a strange sensation under her body, forcing her to look down at the bottom of the tablecloth.
At the bottom of the dim dining table, a pale arm stretched out from the sticky substance, trying to grab her calf and climb up her body.
"phantom?"
Jin suppressed his inner restlessness and turned his gaze back to the table.
Unexpectedly, the delicious food on the plate was no longer there, and instead there was a child's head without eyeballs, with hanging black hair, bright red lips and a creepy laugh.
When Jin looked at William sitting opposite him again, the situation changed again.
The palm structure on William's face was no longer a "mask", but there was really someone standing behind him, covering his eyes... But this person was wrapped in darkness, just when Jin wanted to see the other person's face clearly.
William, whose face was covered with only his mouth exposed, suddenly began to speak:
"Jin, how is it?"
Under the creation of a series of atmospheres and artistic conceptions, as William spoke these words in a tone that was completely different from his own.
boom!
Jin's calves exploded instantly, and he retreated away from the dining table in an explosive manner.
He put on the helmet and grabbed the Blood Infant Sword in his hand... A drop of cold sweat dripped from the vent of the helmet, and he looked at William in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy.
Not only her,
Even City Lord Price, who was immersed in the delicious food, became furious and retreated to the edge of the restaurant.
The waiters in the restaurant area were all frightened to the point of incontinence. The black parasites in their bodies responded to the stress and crawled out of their bodies, trying to abandon their hosts and escape on their own.
Buzz~Buzz!
The alarm of the entire dining car sounded, and when security personnel wearing black exoskeleton biological suits rushed to the scene, William had already removed the Abyss Mask.
"It's okay, it's okay~ I just showed off my personal abilities a little bit, I'm really sorry."
Everything was normal inside the restaurant. There were no dead bodies or mud at all. It was as if everything that had just been seen was just an illusion.
The employees of Blackworm seemed to take the matter very seriously. After conducting several inspections in different ways to confirm that there were no problems, they sent the general manager to negotiate in person, hoping that William would avoid showing such behavior in the dining car area in the future as much as possible.
By the time Jin and Price sat back in their seats, they no longer had much appetite.
Jin placed his hands on the table and leaned his head in front of William. "Just now... was that really you? Why do I feel like you've completely turned into a stranger after putting on the mask, and a very, very dangerous type."
"It was me, but the Abyss also played a role."
"Incredible! It makes me want to come into contact with the Tenth Abyss."
"Contacting the Abyss is too risky, and your personality is not suitable for it. If you really want to contact the Abyss, you'd better ask Ms. Aolaina or the Lord of Cancer Palace for advice first.
All right, show me the war relics you found."
"You're so impatient. Here, let me show you first."
The rectangular structure of the containment box, made of old world gold and proliferating tumors, was placed on the table. William could tell at a glance that the box was unusual and was obviously a high-level creation of the Cancer Palace.
"Do you need to ask the waiter here to step aside?"
Jin waved his hand, "No need to avoid it. They won't say anything. Besides, if someone really dares to steal the things of Cancer Palace, we can use them as a training ground.
OK, I'm ready to unbox."
Jin picked up the box with both hands and placed it in front of him.
A pink and slender tongue extends from the mouth and inserts into the gap in the center of the box for identity verification.
Listening to the sound of the mechanism being unlocked and the sticky silk thread being pulled, the box opened.
Because his back was facing the storage box, William was unable to see the actual object for the time being, but he could vaguely smell a familiar scent.
Swish!
Jin retracted his tongue into his mouth and turned toward the box, facing William.
A 'broken sword' appeared before my eyes.
The sword guard is actually in the shape of a lotus.
The hilt of the sword has a pagoda-like structure.
The remaining 1/4 of the sword blade was engraved with a type of text that William had seen before, or to be more precise, a type of text that Yi Chen had seen before his death.
"Sanskrit, is this some kind of Buddhist instrument?"
"Ah? What is Sanskrit and Buddhism? What are you talking about, William?" Jin was confused by the series of strange terms.
William did not respond to Jin's question, but stared at the broken sword, feeling the divine aura remaining on its surface.
"It can't be wrong... This feeling has a certain similarity with the statue of death that Yi Chen believes in. Although they don't belong to the same kind of god, they should come from the same big world."
