Volume 3 Obsidian Chapter 141: The Mysterious Era Pilot
The picture was pitch black.
There were dense bullet comments on it——
"I'll do it!" "Do it a billion times more!" "So cool!!" "High energy all the way!" "Mr. Jack, I love you!!"
“…”
Two piano accents slowly appear.
Dongdong...
Then suddenly there was a sudden gunshot.
Bang!
A field of countryside slowly appeared on the screen.
Dozens of players in linen robes stood here.
The windmill in the distance turned slowly, the breeze blew, the grass swayed, and the corners of the players' clothes were blown up.
"Hello, warrior from a foreign land, I am an eyewitness, an unknown recorder..."
Su Keying's sweet voice can be heard from off-screen. She speaks slowly as a narration, and her voice echoes.
"Go explore, explore this mysterious world..."
The screen gradually turned black and then changed.
The piano sound appears again.
Dongdong...
Gunshots
Bang!
The farmer turned to face the camera with a look of realization on his face.
"Ah, there are tools there, you can help me cut the grass in the field..."
Dongdong...
Bang!
The farmer had a ferocious look on his face. He raised the pitchfork in his hand and stabbed it into a player's chest, causing blood to splatter.
In slow motion, the blood drops seemed to solidify in mid-air, and the frightened face was frozen.
A deep female voice sang in the background:
[Once the world begins...]
Dongdong...
On the open space at the edge of the town, many men were working hard to carry stones, and women were cooking porridge in big pots.
A kind-looking middle-aged woman smiled, approached the camera, and whispered:
"This church was rebuilt because a month ago, someone killed all the church members and burned it down..."
"Ah? Who did it?"
Dongdong...
There was a brand new wanted poster on the wall, with a blurred man's face and black, slightly curly hair.
His name was clearly written below——
Jack.
A gust of wind blew, causing a corner of the wanted poster to rustle.
Bang!
The deep female voice continued:
[There is no turning back...]
[Even if you fall asleep right now...]
【We will find you too...】
The piano plays slowly but rhythmically, with the sound of gunshots during the accents.
The scene changed and came to the streets of the outer city of Amber City.
A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly by, and newsboys shouted as they shuttled through the crowd.
Two guards walk towards the camera with malicious intent.
A kind lady was holding a teacup and gently placing it on the table. At her feet, a black and white Border Collie was wagging its tail.
[You still look like a gentleman...]
【Don’t linger in comfort...】
【Everyone wants to conquer the world...】
The hoarse alto voice sang.
The scene changed again.
A man wearing a black top hat and a black suit is smiling.
"Good night, you two, you can call me Jack..."
"Mr. Jackspeight."
"I have something I would like to ask you for help. Find your companions and kill them..."
The piano's tempo began to pick up.
Ding Dong Dong...
【What I am looking forward to...】
The screen went black and then bright.
boom!!
A gunshot rang out.
Flames burst out from the muzzle of the blaster gun, and countless marbles sprayed out.
The three people, Centaur, Goutoujin and Forgotten Wuji, as well as some Iron Fist Gang members, fell under the gun.
Their faces still showed shock.
【What I regret...】
boom!!
There was another loud noise.
An explosion occurred on the stone steps, and countless black smoke, shrapnel and debris flew everywhere.
The picture trembled.
[It drives me to make up my mind…]
【Ultimate freedom...】
【Free and easy...】
Life is short...
The piano accents repeat constantly -
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The background music began to reach a climax, and the female voice began to rise, singing:
【Everyone wants to conquer the world!!】
boom!!
A muscular little giant jumped down from the building, roaring:
“Jack!!”
Amid the loud rumbling sound, the picture shook and smoke and dust filled the air.
The black-haired young man named Jack clasped the little giant's fist with his five fingers, and a large flame spurted out of his palm, engulfing the little giant, who wailed in the fire.
The figure of the black-haired young man flashed, and his two arms shot out like snakes, biting the little giant's ribs, followed by the phantom of fists and were as fast as their limit.
Crackling!!
Palm strikes, straight punches, finger jabs, elbow swings, knee kicks and whip kicks...
With a whoosh sound, the entire arm pierced into the little giant's chest!
The blood-stained screen suddenly turned black.
The barrage of comments continued to flash, and the audience was attracted by the fighting scenes and their emotions were aroused by the increasingly passionate mix of the video.
“Is this a supernatural power?!” “Holy crap!” “I’m so excited!” “I’m so envious of you guys who are playing the closed beta!” “Hurry up and start the public beta! I can’t wait!!”
After a while.
The deep and magnetic male voice sounded in the darkness:
"I asked you to come here this time because I need your help with a small matter..."
The alto's voice reaches its climax:
[And there is a dark corner for you to hide in...]
The man in the black hat rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and rested his chin on the back of his hands.
The silver cane rested against his leg.
The camera moves forward and takes a close-up of the lower half of his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
[Hold hands and wait for the high wall to collapse...]
The black-haired young man turned his back to the camera, waved his hat, and it disappeared in his hand. The strong wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves and lifting his hair.
He bent down suddenly and swung his silver cane.
Click, click, click...!
The cane transformed in the blink of an eye, turning into a silver whip covered with spiked blades, and countless sparks flew.
Filling every corner of the screen.
[When that moment comes...]
Above the huge square, a giant fireball like a small sun rose slowly into the sky.
The crowd raised their heads and looked towards the sky.
There were constant exclamations.
The camera moves forward, and a figure with black wings spread out behind him is seen flying upwards, holding up a fireball.
【I will stay by your side...】
The raging flames that obscured the view continued to burn.
A slender figure with long red hair stood in the ruined square, surrounded by circles of blood that turned into his scarlet high-collared robe.
The water droplets falling from the sky are evaporated into mist by the high temperature.
The black-haired figure standing opposite him suddenly split open from the head with a "swish" sound, and he crawled out from it intact.
One side of the square.
A beautiful young blind girl with long light blond hair was staring blankly with her lips pursed.
[Great things are about to be accomplished, I am deeply relieved...]
The singing reached its climax, the drum beats became rapid, and the piano sounds became heavy!
Boom boom boom...!
【It all returns to dust, how can it not be sad...】
The background music paused briefly.
"I want to destroy the Red Apple Church in Amber City..."
The black-haired young man pulled up the brim of his hat, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
He said so.
Then the passionate music suddenly broke out again!
【Everyone wants to conquer the world...! 】
boom!!!
The little sun under the sky exploded with a loud bang, blooming into a giant firework, and countless fine flames fell like meteors.
The figure flapped its black wings, stood in mid-air, and overlooked the world.
The enchanting snake eyes flashed by.
Boom! !
“Jack!!”
The red cloak fluttered, and the middle-aged man who was suspected to be a church member suddenly turned into a huge humanoid beast, standing on the eaves of the church door and howling loudly.
"ha--!!"
Visible sound waves spread out.
The huge beast dropped from the sky and pounced on tiny Jack.
The black-haired young man was covered with dark golden scales. He swung the silver whip in his hand with force and lashed the beast hard, causing a piece of flesh to explode with a snap.
Boom! !
The picture flashed.
A young man with black wings on his back was suspended in the air, flapping his wings and stirring up a strong wind.
His cold eyes looked down, and in his hand he held a silver rapier.
The humanoid beast raised its head and confronted it.
Boom! !
A silver light flashed like a fan across the beast's neck. The faceless beast head froze, and a large amount of blood spurted from its throat.
Puff——!!
Blood was everywhere.
Boom! !
The head hit the ground, splashing dust.
【Everyone wants to conquer the world...! ! 】
boom!!!
A giant fireball exploded in the square!
The red-haired man smiled, raised a black and red sword, and slashed down fiercely.
The terrifying dark red sword light rushed towards the black-haired young man like a curtain covering the sky and the sun.
"So what if he's a saint? If you dare to hurt him, you must die!"
A cold and ethereal voice scolded.
A girl in a black dress with her long light golden hair flying in the air rose into the air. Her face, as holy as a goddess, opened a pair of deep, dark eyes.
With a wave of the white hand, large black trees appeared on the square, forming an indestructible high wall.
The dark curtain crashed against the high wall.
The picture bursts with bizarre colors and dazzling light.
In the violent tremor -
【Everyone wants to conquer...】
The sound disappeared.
The flames are burning.
The barrage slides at a very fast speed and in large numbers.
"So damn handsome!" "Who is this man named Jack?!" "Video host, I give you two minutes to hand over Jack's contact information!" "That red-haired man and blonde girl are also very good-looking!"
Wow...
The black-haired young man held the girl with long light blonde hair horizontally, standing upright, his cold emerald green pupils looking around.
The huge square has become a ruin.
In the dead silence, a brief dialogue suddenly sounded :
"Mr. Jack, how can we help you?"
The voice off-screen is Su Keying's.
"I felt like there was a voice calling me, chanting my name, hoping that I would save that land..."
Mr. Jack replied in a forlorn tone.
【world……】
The singing ends here.
bass!
A close-up appeared on the screen, showing five slender fingers wearing leather gloves, with flames coming out of the palms.
The flames kept changing, and things like the sun, the moon, and the stars appeared.
The camera zoomed out, and the firelight shone on one side of the black-haired young man's cheek. The light and shadow were distinct, making him look mysterious and handsome.
The flames finally transformed into a giant python, which circled around him, biting its own tail, and formed a ring of flames behind him.
"I believe you can help me find the truth..."
The flame suddenly went out.
The screen then went dark.
The sound stopped abruptly.
Finally, Jack spoke in a calm and soothing tone:
"Quietly entered my dream..."
Boom...
The bullet screen was like a pot exploding, splashing countless——
"Ahhhhhhh!!" "This man is so handsome!" "Oh I can't bear it!" "He's so handsome!" "Praise the handsome guy!"
