The people on the Dark Faction's side aren't all fools. Having outwitted Finn for so many years, they're extremely sensitive to deceit and treachery.
After being reminded by Dix, the group slowly came to their senses.
Unbeknownst to them, the Shadow's influence within their alliance had become undeniable.
Their eyes flickered, their thoughts unclear.
……
Sudden……
"I hope that you will still dare to speak so frankly in front of 'her' face."
"?"
In the sparse shadows, the corners of his mouth, which had been raised, slowly fell back, and he spoke softly:
"Silence cannot be resurrected, of course, but... she is indeed being 'enslaved' by us right now."
Upon hearing this, Rives suddenly fixed her gaze on the shadows:
"What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning." Shadow remained unmoved.
"Hey. Let's stop joking around." Ain had barely finished speaking.
A commotion broke out in one of the passageways.
The black-robed guard let out a piercing scream, and then...
"Hey, this isn't a place for you."
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter here. Please go back."
"Uhhhhhh-"
"Intruders! Intruders! Go and inform Lord Shadow immediately!"
Then, a detached voice slowly rang out: "It's all noise."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of someone falling to the ground came from the cave, and then silence fell.
Inside the control room, all those present were powerful adventurers with exceptionally keen senses. They all heard every single sound from the passageway.
"No way..." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Valeta's forehead.
That tone, that arrogant attitude that seemed to regard everything as boring and noisy, and that feeling of not taking anyone seriously.
She can't be mistaken...
"Silence..."
All eyes were on Olivas and Valeta. Only these two had been in close contact with the two legends. They were not qualified to be enemies, but as former comrades, their words were more convincing.
Everyone's gaze turned toward the door blocking the passage, their thoughts a jumble of complex emotions.
It was like anticipation, but also like fear.
Balka, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke:
"Even in silence, opening the metal door here without a key is a pipe dream."
He had exceptional confidence in his hardest metal gate, which he considered his greatest masterpiece.
The tension in everyone's hearts gradually eased, but they still looked at the door with a sense of anticipation.
As if waiting for something, the scene was eerily quiet for a moment.
The noise in the passageway had ceased for a long time, but the gate remained unmoved.
Dix laughed heartily: "I told you, it's just a boring mouse. Hey, you hired a shill, didn't you?"
"I have to say, the acting was really convincing; I almost believed it! Hahahaha!"
Dix clutched his stomach and trembled, while Ain snorted coldly.
Leaning against the wall, Rives turned around, closed her eyes again, and a rare hint of sarcasm appeared on her usually cold and pretty face.
Thanatos slowly uttered two words: "Clown."
only……
Just as Shadow's status plummeted...
Click, click, click...
A faint hum of machine audio echoed in the hall, and Dix's loud laughter abruptly ceased at that moment.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the metal door slowly rose, the buzzing sound of metal scraping against metal like slaps to their faces.
when--
The metal doors closed at the top, and at the end of the passage, a figure covered in a black robe similar to the one worn by Shadow slowly stepped into the hall.
She stood in the center of the crowd and, in a cold yet undeniable voice, said calmly:
"Sorry, too much time has passed, and I can't quite remember the password to the door. Well, don't panic, it's to be expected. After all... it's just noise to me. It's not worth recording."
Barka looked shocked.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How did you open my door if you didn't have a key?!"
Dix's pupils dilated in shock, but he was clearly calmer than Balca, gleaning important information from Balca's words.
“Hey, Balka, I remember one side of that road is a secret passage leading to Melen, right? How many people have you told about it…”
Barka froze, then gasped and slowly said:
"Only Erebus..."
Chapter 209 Meeting the Son: I'm Actually Super Strong?!
The labyrinth was indeed open to "Silence" during the past "Seven Days of Death" incident.
They possess a secret route leading directly to the underground city and know the password to open that gate.
The red gem on the hardest metal gate acts like a combination lock, not only reacting to the "Daedalus" bloodline but also being controlled by the central red gem on the control panel, and can also be used to create special identification codes.
For example, the detonation button, which can destroy 12-story pillars, is activated by a special rotation method.
And this password.
It was only made public to the leaders of Erebus, namely the "Silence" and "Gluttony" of that time.
The lowly underlings have no right to know!
The reason why the password to the control room has not been changed all these years is simple: the dead can keep secrets 100%.
But this common sense seems to have been broken today.
Upon hearing Barka's words, everyone fell silent once again.
They looked at the black-robed figure standing quietly in the center with complicated expressions. They couldn't see Jingji's expression, but from his tone and behavior, they were certain of his identity.
Shadow lowered his head and gave a cold laugh.
This is only natural...
Because, standing before me, without a doubt, is silence itself!
slam-la-
The passage was breached, and the pursuers from the Dark Faction quickly made their way through the corpse-strewn passage and into the control room.
A squad leader, brandishing his weapon, shouted, "Sorry, sirs! We failed in our duty and the intruders broke in."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to his henchmen around him, trying to create silence.
The cadres remained unmoved; some were still reeling from the shock, while others wanted to further probe the identity of the newcomer.
They stepped back two steps, making room for each other.
Looking at the dark faction soldiers surrounding him, Jianzi slowly uttered two words:
"Noisy..."
brush brush --
She drew her slender sword from her waist, its cold gleam transforming into a dazzling sword light under the illumination of the magic stone lamp.
Just a second.
Click.
Sheath the knife.
The surging slashes instantly cut the surrounding soldiers in half at the waist.
Thump, thump, thump.
Only when the corpses fell to the ground and cries of agony from the excruciating pain rang out did the cadres finally come to their senses.
"Silence..."
