Chapter 1297: The Path Of Apocalypse (20)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The people that came up with Ming Shu stood in a circular room.
They looked around them.
The pagoda seemed to be empty…
They could see its tip when they looked up.
The walls around them were shining with a faint golden light.
There were no drawings or additional structures.
There was nothing else in the room. The lady stood against one of the walls.
There were ten number plates on the wall.
Ming Shu looked back at them and pointed at the number plates. “Choose.”
Choose?
Choose what?
“There are ten floors. Choose one. There is no need to be polite.”
No need… to be polite?! Do you think that we are buying groceries?
Everyone looked at one another. No one knew what the Apocalypse Pagoda was like inside.
However, all pagodas would have different floors. Yet, they didn’t know how many floors the Apocalypse Pagoda had.
She knew that it had ten floors?
Most importantly, there were ten number plates in front of her.
The color of each number plate was different. There was a number carved on it.
Someone asked, “What is in the different floors? Will there be greater danger at higher floors?”
Ming Shu said casually, “I don’t need to answer your questions. Are you going to choose?”
Most people hesitated. They were uncertain about the future.
Someone looked at Ming Shu. “Why aren’t you choosing?”
“Since you want me to choose, I’ll choose.”
Ming Shu appeared very friendly.
She picked a number plate as though she was picking a concubine to sleep with.
She reached out and held the number plate. They disappeared.
Before anyone could react, Ming Shu had left.
Why did this person act so abnormally?
They asked her those questions because they wanted more information!
…
Qi Yu saw multiple images flash before his eyes. He felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.
When the dizziness disappeared, he was standing in darkness.
The warmth on his hand made him relax. She was still here.
The person beside him touched the ground with her feet. The walls around them lit up.
Qi Yu finally saw where he was. He was in a long corridor.
There seemed to be no end to the corridor.
Qi Yu tried his best to maintain a calm expression.
There is nothing to be scared of!
I have experienced so many things!
A genius can’t be afraid!
Ming Shu looked enlightened. “It’s the 7th floor.”
Qi Yu’s mouth corners twitched. “Didn’t you choose the number plate?” Why did she look as though she just realized where they were?
“Oh, it’s a random transportation. We can’t choose where we go.”
Qi Yu stared at her. “You lied to them?”
Ming Shu looked at him innocently. “How did I lie to them? I never said that they will go to a specific floor even if they choose a number.”
Qi Yu: “…”
That made sense.
Qi Yu looked around him. The corridor was lit up so he saw the carvings on the walls.
Each carving was an individual picture. They were carved between two lamps.
The picture he was looking at was a person sitting on top of a pile of rocks.
The corridor was narrow. If he reached out his hand, he would be able to touch the paintings.
“What are you doing? Are you looking for death!” Ming Shu pulled his hand back.
“These pictures…” Qi Yu said.
“Don’t touch them,” Ming Shu warned him. “Each picture is an individual small space. You can understand it… like a jail.”
“Jail?”
Ming Shu walked forward with him. “There are many powerful people imprisoned here. Of course, their abilities are locked up too.
“If you are pulled in, you will be unable to come out unless you kill the other person.”
“Why?” Qi Yu was confused. “Why were they locked up?”
Ming Shu replied, “All the people here had the ability to destroy the world and they really wanted to do something to that end. Hence, they were locked up.”
Qi Yu widened his eyes.
The people locked up here were like this?
“Then you…” Who are you?
Ming Shu suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at Qi Yu. “Qi Yu, don’t try to find out about my past. What you have now is enough.”
Dim lights moved in her eyes. They looked like ghostfire. There was a cold glint in her gaze.
The surroundings were so quiet he could hear his breathing.
Qi Yu slowly clenched his fist. His expression was ambiguous.
Ming Shu walked two steps back. She stood in front of him. Her face was extremely close to his. “Do you want my past or my future?”
Qi Yu moved his lips slightly. “Your… future.”
Ming Shu pulled his hand. She said softly, “I will not look into your past so don’t investigate my past, either. You will know about it when you should.”
Qi Yu slowly held Ming Shu’s hand. “Okay.”
She was with him. That was the most important thing, right?
Ming Shu was afraid that Qi Yu would think too much so she hugged and kissed him.
Qi Yu grabbed her. “Kiss me again.”
Ming Shu: “…”
…
“Where are we going now?” Qi Yu was in a good mood since he got Ming Shu’s kiss. He followed Ming Shu as they walked along the corridor.
Ming Shu replied, “The fourth floor.”
Qi Yu asked, “How are we supposed to do that? You can directly go there?”
Ming Shu said naturally, “We need to find something to bring us there.”
Find something?
Qi Yu was curious as to what this thing was.
There are other things in this place?
There was no return along the corridor. The path they walked would turn into emptiness. They had no choice but to continue walking forward.
“Why did you bring those people in?” She didn’t have to do that…
Ming Shu replied, “Even if I don’t bring them in, they will still come. Since they wanted to seek death, I’m glad to be able to help them. We must be helpful. Remember that, baby.”
Qi Yu felt goosebumps when he heard her calling him baby.
He blamed it on the environment.
It was not because of his wife.
If teachers found out that she used the word “helpful” in this manner, they would be furious!
“Is this place dangerous?”
“If you keep walking on this path, you will continue till earth and heaven grow old.”
The power of the Apocalypse Pagoda was dangerous. However, most of the time, the Apocalypse Pagoda just wanted to be a normal pagoda so it would not do anything.
The people locked up in the pagoda were more dangerous.
They couldn’t go out, but the people outside could come in.
Hence, the Apocalypse that Qi Yu had might be the power of one of these people. It was stolen by someone who entered the pagoda.
“Are you willing to walk till earth and heaven grow old with me?”
Ming Shu remained silent for a moment. “You were not so good at talking last time. Did you practice?”
She remembered when they first met, this young man was extremely bad at talking.
“That’s impossible!” Qi Yu replied blatantly. “I achieved self-enlightenment when I met you. It is because I like you.”
I didn’t look at any tips!
A genius doesn’t need it!
“Really?”
Qi Yu coughed. “Erm… who locked these people up?”
“I don’t know. The moment people like them appear in a different world, they will end up here. Hence, this place is called the end of the worlds. No matter how powerful you are, if you didn’t help civilians, bring harmony to the country, advocate equality and fairness, love your country and job, be kind and friendly, you will be brought here.”
Qi Yu’s mouth corners twitched.
He was curious why wasn’t she locked up here.
Don’t tell me that she is a good person. She’s not!
Cough cough cough…
Be calm. That is your wife. Don’t complain about your wife. You will get beaten up.
“Different worlds…”
“Do you think that Thousand Mirror World had so many bad people?”
The people locked up in the Apocalypse Pagoda could form a nation on their own. Every single one of them had the ability to be the ruler of a nation.
