My doppelganger drama

Cullom looked at Wan Yi who had just returned from another trip to the "Large".

"I've kept you waiting for a long time," Wan Yi said.

When the little knight saw that Wan Yi was back, the three of them continued on their way.

There was silence in the City of Tears.

Only the endless raindrops are still falling in an orderly manner, as if expressing condolences and condolences to the entire city.

It can even be called a mess.

There was no trace of a bug, but there were many traces of battles all around, the road surface had the remnants of being beaten with great force, and not a single street lamp was still standing intact.

It was as if some disaster had passed not long ago.

I originally thought that during the truce period, there might be many bugs here that were originally affiliated with the Kingdom of Hallownest but were obscured by the blinding light.

But actually, when you come in, it's like you're in a ghost town.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and stone chips on the road passed by the feet of the three of them.

"This should be the center of Hallownest, right?" Cullom said uncertainly.

Even the little knight picked up the map and looked at it to make sure he was on the right track.

"It's right here, that's right." Wan Yi said.

He knows what's going on here.

The reason why the city in the center of Hallownest becomes like this is simply because the Wanyis have been here.

After the victory, the group of Wan Yi who attacked the top of the bridge directly invaded Hallownest. Wan Yi and Cullom wandered around the natural world under the bridge and walked through the Mantis Village.

During this period of time, Wan Yi Cockroach directly declared war on the tired and panting Hallownest.

This is a secret war.

The initial invasion of Wanyi cockroaches was not public, but they sneaked in carefully, caught an insane insect, killed it directly, skinned it, and skinned it.

Initially, they wanted to take over the city with minimal cost and noise.

However, there were too many bugs on the opposite side, and quite a few bugs had been dead for a long time. During the process of making the painted skin, the body was completely damaged, and it could not even be used as a leather sheath.

Wan Yi didn't see many awake bugs, most of them were unconscious, which made people wonder if the Pale King was still there.

There is even a guess that the Pale King's secret weapon to suppress the blinding light was to fill it with himself.

Because even the leader could not be found, this strategy of lurking and assassinating people along the way suddenly lost interest.

So Wan Yi changed his policy.

Explode!

Wan Yi has never been one to stick to small details, and he often likes to do things openly. All the preparations behind the scenes are meaningless without the moment of detonation.

So Hallownest encountered this unreasonable disaster called "Wanyi".

Give eternal sleep to the insects immersed in false dreams, and the dark wind blows Hallownest, eating up all the paleness and light.

This is how Hallownest became what it was in just a few days.

Wan Yi and his party walked through the silent city. After repeating the deathly scene many times, they finally met an acquaintance.

It was Quiro whom he met in front of the Mantis Village.

He was also looking at the remaining traces of the city. When he saw the three of them, he waved and said hello: "Hello, I didn't expect you to choose to travel together. It's unexpected but reasonable."

The little knight remained silent,

Coulom responded to the greeting, and then said: "Quirro, did you come here before us?"

"Let's go earlier than you. The scenery on the road always makes me stop." Quiruo said.

"Do you know what's going on here?"

"I saw a group of strange things. They were like a black wind passing through the city, and then smoothing away the last hustle and bustle of the city." Quiruo said, "It's hard for me to evaluate the feeling of being harmed by light. For a bug blinded by dreams, this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I admit that I was shocked when I saw that scene.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The little knight never said a word, and Wan Yi had nothing to say.

Cullom was once again frightened by the changes in things.

How could the Hallownest Kingdom, which the insects once yearned for, turn into this strange state? Where is the Pale King now?

"So I think we should find a way to find the Pale King now?" After thinking, Wan Yi suddenly said.

"Oh?" Quiruo made an interested voice.

"The Hallownest worms are leaderless and disaster is imminent. I think the only one who has the ability to change the overall situation is the Pale King." Wan Yi said.

"That's true. If it's the legendary Pale King, it should have the ability to change everything." Quiro said.

"But we don't have any clues at all." Coulom was shocked by the jump in their topic, "And if the Pale King is really that powerful, how could Hallownest become like this."

"You're right, Kurom." Wan Yi smiled and patted its butt.

To be precise, it should be the abdomen. Fortunately, although Mantis is tall, his abdomen is sagging, otherwise Wan Yi would only be able to take pictures of other people's legs with his current height.

"But we can't look for blinding light." Wan Yi said.

The big moth himself was thrown into a deep dream and was clamoring to come out.

The only key figure whose whereabouts are unknown now is the Pale King who is mentioned most often but has disappeared in this critical moment.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I have to go to a place to see." Kui Ruo said.

"Where?"

"My teacher's archives," Quiro said.

"Your teacher? Is he in Hallownest?" Cullom asked curiously.

"Yes, he is a famous teacher of Hallownest who taught many people, including me. He asked me to go out more, because although Hallownest is good, there is more than just Hallownest in the world, so I left. .”

Kui Ruo's tone was leisurely, and he described the matter very calmly, without adding too much emotion.

"Now that I have returned from traveling, things have changed. I am very curious about Hallownest's experience in these years, but it is important for me to see the teacher's situation."

"Then leave the experience of exploring Hallownest to us." Wan Yi said calmly.

Quiruo smiled: "Well, I'll leave it to you. I believe that one day we can sit on a bench and tell our stories to each other."

After chatting for a few more words, Kui Ruo said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, Wan Yi and his party went to a brightly lit building with a clear goal.

The sign on that building says "Sanctuary of Souls."

It seems to be a school-like place, with a large number of books and study and research supplies.

But again, there was a disaster here just like outside. There was almost nothing left, and only the remains of some bugs could be seen scattered around.

And some books are also missing a lot.

In the upper levels of the Soul Sanctuary, they discovered some evil research records.

This is the content of a volume of notes that Coulom turned to:

[The holy war has begun, we will use our arcane knowledge to defeat all obstacles for the kingdom! 】

[That light can’t stop us, that’s a given. 】

[...This is impossible...the power of light turned into plague! What is the vector of this infection? ! 】

[No, no medium can be found. Even if there is no source of infection, infected people are constantly appearing in the king's army! What on earth is going on...this kind of power...]

[Maybe only a strong self can overcome the infection. The light is a test of our will and soul. Yes, that’s it, that’s right! 】

【Powerful soul! Only the strength of the soul can fight against infection! This is the result we got, but the king did not agree... We decided to resist it, it was just afraid that we had discovered the true way to be powerful! 】

【Gather your soul! Change the shape of your soul! Infection will be our strength! eternal life! Light! 】

After reading it, Cullom shuddered.

"I think the academics in this place have gone crazy."

"That's right." Wan Yi replied.

When Wan Yi and others first entered this place, they were all shocked by the situation here. It looked like such a bright and bright school, but the bugs inside were all weird.

The eyes are all orange, but they all feel awake.

In one room they found many glass jars arranged in rows.

Some glass jars were broken in the chaos and their contents were missing, but some were still intact.

Cullom approached a glass jar curiously, wondering what was inside.

Suddenly, a flesh-colored thing that looked like a ball of mud appeared out of thin air in the tank. Its twisted face was pressed against the wall of the tank, and it looked at Cullom at close range.

Cullom was startled and straightened up.

"As a reminder, these jars are filled with twisted souls."

"You should have told me earlier!"

"Who made you so curious? Why did you stick to it before I even said anything?" Wan Yi said with regret.

He directly cast spells to crystallize the souls in these jars into his hands. These twisted souls were basically left by his clones.

Fill the soul crystal reserve.

These souls are orange-red and very dark in color.

"What are the bugs in this place doing..." Kurom couldn't help but wonder.

"The cruel insect experiment, pursuing the path of forbidden power, being blinded by the light without knowing it, although rich in knowledge, they are just a bunch of idiots." Wan Yi commented with his hands on his hips.

They touched all the way to the top of the Soul Sanctuary.

Nothing.

"This is too clean." Coulom couldn't help but say, "What on earth is that black wind? It must be some kind of advanced creature."

"Maybe it's just a group of relatively efficient robbers." Wan Yi stepped forward and said.

On the way back, they discovered a room that Wanyi's clone had failed to find due to a cursory search. Inside, there was a miserable snail that was tied to the experimental facility, with almost only an outline left.

The little knight directly reached out and sucked something from the snail.

Wan Yi felt a dark aura emerging from the young knight at that time.

Seeing this scene, Wan Yi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a higher being in this world who was more powerful than the big moth and was even called the "God of Gods".

That thing is closely related to the Little Knight.

…

Moth Wan also arrived in complete ruins.

Looking at the surrounding ruins, I can imagine that there should have been an extremely vast and luxurious building here, but now, only the outline of a broken gate is left.

The black aura seeped out from between the rock formations below, bringing a trace of greed and malice towards existence.

"Is it right here? Mr. Secret Weapon who suppressed your dreams?" Moth Wanyi said to himself, actually trying to communicate with Big Moth

Even so, Moth Wanyi didn't get a response.

It was obvious that he had become a godlike being, but Da Mozi had never contacted him since he sent a "packet" through a momentary contact.

What an irresponsible Party A, aren't you afraid that he will take the money and run away?

While lamenting the spirit of his contract, Moth Wanyi came to the broken door.

"There is a very profound dream hidden here." Wan Yi said, looking at the door.

It stretched out its hand, and the light shone on the earth, and the black floating around was shrunk back into the rock formations under its feet.

Between the gates in front of him, a broken white totem gradually appeared under the light.

Seizing the moment, the moth Wan Yi flew up, crashed into the totem, and disappeared.

The light dissipated, the white dream totem flickered for a moment and then disappeared again, and the black matter began to stretch again, and even became vaguely more violent.
