Chapter 250: 250
After a few tries, Hu He noticed that the living thing on the ground had no reaction whatsoever .
Hu He became exasperated as he had not expected the shop to sell counterfeit and shoddy products . Especially since it had included a developer in its description . This was a deception gone too far . How could they produce counterfeits, this really is so unprofessional .
Sensing Hu He’s thoughts, Bei Li promptly gazed at him, making Hu He shiver unconsciously .
Just as Hu He was sure that there was no way for them to communicate, a stutter suddenly resounded through his mind .
“Wh-who are y-you… wh-where are y-you? L-let m-me out! I-I-I’ll do a-anything you a-ask!”
The reply was sudden and out of nowhere, so it left Hu He momentarily stunned and strangely excited .
“Hey younger brother, can you tell me who you are?”
“I’m…”
As Hu He waited for the rest of his reply, the fellow suddenly stopped talking .
“Who on earth are you!?” Hu He asked agitatedly .
“I… I c-can’t remember anymore!”
His reply sent Hu He into a daze .
“Err-I-I… th-think I c-could be th-the Vengeful G-Ghost King,” the voice said shakily .
This made Hu He even more speechless .
However, the fact that this fellow still had a breath of life in him did not escape Hu He’s notice . An extremely daring idea popped up in his mind .
At that moment, Fenshui the Ghost King was still out there . In his current state, he definitely lacked the strength to make an escape on his own . However, if he had this Ghost King with him, he might stand a chance .
The thought occurred to Hu He, that an extra person meant extra strength, so he might as well find more people to help him .
However, with his present finances, he did not have enough soul coins to use, so he would need funds from the outside .
Hu He then opened his Friends List and scrolled to the biggest sponsor he had right now – Jason .
After opening the chat, Hu He explained the current situation that he was in and expressed his desire for some monetary support in the form of soul coins .
Hu He’s contributions to the development of the European server were undoubtedly tremendous . Thus, without hesitating, Jason transferred another 20,000 soul coins to him .
Hu He was touched . Finally, he felt like a decent person as he had someone who valued him greatly now .
With an extra 20,000 soul coins, Hu He was invigorated with a renewed sense of confidence .
After taking the Soul Interaction Rope with him, he began to look for the Sealing Wall inside this room and purchased another Anti-Seal Canceler to break it down .
After spending three hours, Hu He had managed to break the seal around ten rooms . Apart from two empty ones, he had come across a total of 13 beings with unknown strength and capabilities .
As he could not see clearly in there, there was no way for him to use his analyzing ability . Moreover, their abilities were sealed and could not be used, so Hu He was unable to determine their true strength .
Nonetheless, Hu He remained in high spirits, as now the overall strength of his party had increased .
However, there was still one matter that troubled Hu He .
None of them could remember their own names – four claimed to be the Vengeful Ghost King while three earnestly acknowledged their identity as the Vacuum Ghost General . There was even one that said his name was Cangxu and claimed to be at the rank of His Excellency .
This gave Hu He a strong notion that he had saved a bunch of fools .
Be that as it may, since he wanted to escape, he still needed to depend on the strength of these people .
After breaking through a few more seal walls, Hu He brought them all to his original room . One by one, he let them hold onto the Soul Interaction Rope before beginning to communicate .
The conversation that followed after was extremely emotionally-taxing for Hu He as each one of them stuttered to no end and seemed to be half-dead .
As a result of the protection of dark strength here, even though they didn’t die per se, they were teetering on the edge of death . They were lost in the eternal ebb and flow of time, hence their knowledge and awareness of the outside world had become very vague .
Regardless of how much of a hassle the interactions were, they still needed to take place . Hu He began to explain to them the reason why he had dug them out . At the same time, he also told them to hold on a bit longer as they would be able to leave here promptly .
Hu He did not forget to share a very key piece of information with them – he hoped that once they escaped, they could give Fenshui the Ghost King a good beating .
After all, Hu He still had not let go of his vengeance from being slapped by him .
After explaining the intricacies of it all numerous times and feeling 20 of them nod in agreement, Hu He heaved a sigh of relief .
He then laid on the floor and opened the forum, scrolling through spam posts as well as watching livestreams .
Ah, the wifi we players have is just wonderful . If it weren’t for this heavy burden on my shoulders, I would be able to live in this so-called Infinite Darkness for a year .
Presently, Hu He was having a whale of a time, completely forgetting his previous state of despair .
Seconds and minutes slowly passed by .
The other beings he found were able to regain some consciousness after their communication . They were no longer as wooden as before and had also begun to remember some things .
This pleased Hu He greatly . As he was watching the livestreams, he would casually insert a response into the conversation, acting like the big brother of the group .
…
In the outside world, Fenshui the Ghost King was quite agitated .
These ten hours of boring, uneventful waiting had chipped away at his patience .
However, since he promised 10,000 years, it had to be so . He needed Hu He to realize what true terror was and what being helpless felt like .
Once he felt that the time had come, Fenshui opened the seal of the Infinite Darkness with bated breath, before stretching his hand down to get Hu He .
However, he was dumbfounded with what followed after .
Numerous silhouettes began to emerge from below .
There were more than 20 silhouettes, including Hu He .
Their faces were expressionless . When they came into contact with sunlight, they instinctively shielded their eyes, as though deeply unused to it .
All around, a sudden soul energy thunderstorm began to brew . Large amounts of soul energy began to accumulate and flow into these living things that had just escaped the darkness .
After glancing at Hu He who was smiling proudly at him and the numerous figures standing around him, Fenshui’s heart skipped a beat .
To his utter horror, Fenshui realized that he recognized most of these people .
He had put some of them there under Cangxu’s orders long ago .
He had no idea how Hu He was able to accomplish this . All forms of energy were useless in the Infinite Darkness . Besides, he was sure that Hu He did not hide any tools with him . Nevertheless, now he knew one thing . This was a complete disaster, and something apocalyptic was about to happen .
These beings that were thrown into the Infinite Darkness had immense power and would not bow down to anyone .
Now that they had all been released, the entire Land of Cangxu would probably be thrown into pandemonium .
With the soul energy continuously flowing into their bodies, the numb souls began to heal and regain their memories .
It would be hard for them to return to their optimal form in this short time, but they could already make out what had happened to themselves .
“Brothers! Let’s beat him up!” Hu He loftily pointed at Fenshui and shouted .
Hearing this, Fenshui the Ghost King immediately flapped his wings, trying to escape .
With a glimpse, he had noticed there were at least eight other Ghost Kings . Even though they hadn’t fully recuperated yet, if a real fight were to break out, he would not be able to hold out for long .
However, as soon as he swooped up into the sky, numerous shadows streaked toward him and pressed him back onto the ground .
In fact, something had escaped Hu He’s knowledge .
In the Infinite Darkness, the appearance of Hu He had left an indelible mark on all of their hearts .
Perhaps for Hu He, it had merely been a few hours, but for them, they had spent eons in the harrowing darkness . Moreover, in that short period of time, Hu He had fulfilled the role as their big brother . He brought them light and hope, as well as preventing them from falling into the abyss of eternal oblivion .
After regaining their consciousness, these maliciously evil beings were unconsciously filled with respect and adoration for Hu He .
