The Last King of Darkness

The familiar academy environment gave Rhodes a sigh of relief. Although he had only been in the academy for three days in total, he seemed to be used to it.

Perhaps, this is because he has spent most of the past decades in similar circumstances, and Kingworth College, while quite different from them, has not changed in its inner essence.

As long as you accept its peculiarities, you will soon be able to adapt.

Rhode flew back to the dormitory. It was still class time, and there were not many people in the entire dormitory building.

Rhodes quickly passed through the empty common room and boarded the corridor on the side of the Third Academy and Ten Departments.

His dormitory is on the third floor, and the entire ten groups of dormitories are on this floor, so every time Kashan can bring the entire ten groups to knock on his door.

Rhodes quickly opened the door that had been repaired, jumped on the bed, folded his thumbs, pinched the lightning symbol, and his spirit was in a trance for a moment, and his soul rose into the air.

When he opened his eyes, a faint gray mist was flowing around him. In front of him was a three-meter-high cyan obelisk, and behind him was a black altar.

This is the fourth time Rhodes has come, and he is still amazed at its mystery and loneliness.

But he was more eager to verify his conjecture.

Rhodes rushed to the stone monument, but did not see the fire of the soul in the last position.

Touching the four sides of the obelisk in turn made no difference.

"Isn't it? Did I guess wrong?"

Rhodes scratched his head a little, saw the black altar in the blink of an eye, and ran over with the mentality of giving it a try.

Sure enough, on the black hand in the center of the altar, Rhodes saw six flames floating in the air.

Five of the groups were very small, and their messages came to mind when Rhodes focused.

【dusty soul】

There is a line of small print below.

[Part of the soul from the dead river ghost]

The text is in common language, accompanied by his own voice, which is very easy to identify.

These five flames are exactly the same, and there is no difference in appearance. They are all entwined with a little black in the pale flame as thin as a gossamer.

Rhodes came to his senses instantly.

Isn't this the five balloons he blew up, the "dead souls" in Lauren's mouth?

Devouring souls is indeed true.

Rhode didn't know whether he was excited or worried, and turned his eyes to another flame.

【The Soul of the Contaminated Sotiel Reid】

The following line of small print reads [a part of the soul with characteristics from Sotiel Reid].

really!

Rhodes clenched his hands all of a sudden.

His soul is with me.

His name wasn't Bass, his real name was Sotiel Reid.

If he can dig out the secrets in his soul, all the broken clues can be connected, and maybe the real murderer or scapegoat can be found.

Rhode was excited, but he soon discovered that he didn't know how to interpret this soul.

He tried to touch it, but his fingers went straight through.

He tried to talk to it but didn't respond.

This soul is like a phantom, there is no way to interact with it.

Rhodes tried everything, and finally found only one useful, that is to stare at it and listen to it.

Then, he heard a very small voice.

"17 Baker Street..."

"Alix..."

They reverberate deep within the soul, like the melody that composes this soul, repeating endlessly.

Those were the only two pieces of information that Rhodes got.

A bit disappointing, but better than nothing.

Rhode listened to the other five souls again, but only heard crazy noises and chaotic roars.

He immediately retreated from this state, and after listening for only a few seconds, he felt dizzy, nauseous and uncomfortable.

"Grass!"

Rhode said angrily the name of a plant.

The voice of the soul can't be listened to casually. The world is so strange and terrifying. What if I hear something that I shouldn't hear?

Be careful, be steady.

Rhode said to himself in his heart.

He looked at the six groups of souls in front of him and began to think about his next move.

He does not intend to hand over this news for the time being, because it is difficult to explain the source of the intelligence, and secondly, when the situation is unknown, it is best not to rashly promote the case.

If the situation allows, he'd better try to see for himself first, but be careful to avoid deepening the suspicion.

Rhodes glanced at the obelisk and thought again: "It seems that there is only so much information that can be obtained from the soul. I can try to see if they can ignite the stars on the obelisk. In the face of the invasion in two days, it will also be a little more secure."

Thinking of this, Rhode jumped off the altar and came to the obelisk.

Reaching out to touch the surface of the monument, the deep starry sky appeared again, and countless dark spots of light appeared or disappeared on the black background. The "Dark Devourer" in the center still exuded a dark red light, like an ominous eye. .

It looked no different from before, but when Rhode focused on it, he instantly noticed the existence of the altar, and something was jumping in his mind, as if he could send his soul into the light spot of "Dark Devourer" at any time. .

But when he tried to do so, a clear forbidding intent came to his mind.

"Uh... The Devourer of Darkness has already been added once, maybe a spot of light can only be added once."

Rod moved his gaze to the flickering spots of light, and found that when he aimed his gaze at them, the spots turned into black holes.

As soon as the thought moved, the fire of the six souls flew from the altar into the obelisk, appeared in the starry sky, and fell into the black hole following Rhode's line of sight.

However, these six tiny fires did not completely ignite it, and more than half of the black hole was black.

"not enough."

Rhodes thought.

"More souls are needed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

How to do?

Where do I go to get it? how to do?

Rhodes didn't think clearly for a while, and when he was about to continue to look at it, he suddenly tightened his body, his eyes blurred for a while, and the familiar feeling of falling appeared.

Oops!

He knew that someone outside must have interfered with him and let him escape from the dream.

When his sight was restored, Rhode saw Kashan's lake-like light blue eyes and the blond hair hanging down at a glance.

"You finally woke up?"

She snorted, straightened up, and moved her face away from him.

"Slept enough to die."

There were also several students who were obviously seniors standing behind her. One of them stepped forward with a red armband and said, "Rod, we are from the Academic Affairs Office. Please come over now."

Rhode was shocked, I won't be fired, right? Hastily asked: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

The red armband smiled kindly: "Don't worry, it's just a test, time is a little short, let's talk while walking."

Rhodes glanced at Kashan, who misunderstood the look, raised his head, and said proudly, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"No," said Rhodes, "I mean, how did you get in?"

Kashan smiled slightly, and a hint of slyness flashed in her pale blue eyes.

"I have the key."

"Where did it come from?"

"When I repaired the door, I got one. You don't want to keep me out of the door in the future."

This ambiguous statement caused a lot of misunderstanding.

On the way to the Academic Affairs Office, a senior sighed softly, "Young people today really know how to play."

His tone was full of envy.

"Maybe we can see a feat of maternity leave for new students."
