Yu Hongshi's journey seemed to be finally on the right track. With the knight mark thrown by the previous fake knight, he and Bumblebee easily entered the City of Tears.
When I first played the game, this city map was Yu Hongshi's favorite. The beautiful and impressive background music, and the faint sadness brought by the constant drizzle, seemed to gradually dilute the depressive tone of the entire game.
And after entering the real City of Tears, this feeling truly came to them. To Yu Hongshi's helplessness, they met Kui Ruo again.
This is the first building in the City of Tears. He is sitting on the bench so ordinary, with an indescribable tiredness on his face.
Yu Hongshi and the other two were able to open the passage because they had the city mark, but Kui Ruo didn't. It must have taken him a lot of effort to enter the City of Tears.
"We meet again. I think the branches of fate will eventually converge slowly. There are some things and responsibilities that cannot be escaped."
Yu Hongshi has long been accustomed to the other party's Riddler-like way of speaking. If he hadn't cleared this game before, ordinary people might be really frightened by him. He turned to look at Bumblebee to make sure that the two of them had no intention of fighting. Yu Hongshi was relieved.
He took a breath and said, "Did you just come in?"
Kui Ruo nodded, turned and looked out the window, "In my memory, this place is full of peace of mind and nostalgia. The never-ending drizzle does not feel cold when it hits my body. On the contrary, it feels like my soul has been purified. I want
Go and see where all this rain comes from."
Yu Hongshi looked up and saw that even though he was underground, he could see the blue sky, and the never-ending light rain had no way of affecting that blue sky at all.
He is familiar with some plots and knows that the source of this never-ending drizzle is actually a blue lake. The water in the lake seeps down to form this vast drizzle. According to the plot, when Quiruo arrived at the Blue Lake, it was he who
When we are about to reach the end of our life.
However, this is a process that cannot be organized, because the mission given to him by his teacher Mo Ruomeng is to be a guardian. When you want to open the seal and make changes, you must need his help, but when the seal is released, he also loses it.
life goals.
Even a heroic firefighter uncle can do nothing for a person who has no purpose in living and wants to die.
"However, I still have some things to do, just like you, right?"
Yu Hongshi was still sad for Kui Ruo, but then he got up and walked past the two of them towards the exit.
"Aren't you going to watch City of Tears?"
"Don't watch it, you said you are in a hurry!"
"..."
Thank you for the reminder!
Yu Hongshi rolled his eyes and went straight to the Watcher Tower with Bumblebee. Watcher Lurian was the same seal guardian as Beast Hera. Just like Beast Hera, he also set up many guards inside his tower.
But at this time, most of these guards had been eroded by the plague and turned into targets walking aimlessly.
However, whether it was due to time considerations or Bumblebee's request, Yu Hongshi did not eliminate them. After all, they could all return to normal after the radiation was eliminated. These were also the people of Hallownest.
Of course, there are some obstacles that cannot be avoided, and Bumblebee's identity as the future queen does not seem to be easy to use here.
Just as he was about to reach the place where Lurian was sleeping, he stopped in a room filled with huge armors.
The whistling wind filled the entire room. There should be no wind here since it was completely enclosed, but the ghosts floating in the sky made everything look eerie, as if they shouldn't have come.
The bumblebee showed no fear on his face, but he had already pulled out his long needle and was obviously ready to fight.
If Yu Hongshi still has the mentality of having cleared the game, he would undoubtedly be ready to fight at this time. These ghosts are all the former Knights of the Watch. The so-called Knights of the Watch are the guards of Lurian, who are the owners of these huge armors.
.
They are undoubtedly extremely loyal and will stick to their duties even after death. If you show any intention of disturbing Lurian's sleep, their souls will come and regain control of the huge armor to fight you.
This boss is not difficult, but there are many and it is a waste of time, so Yu Hongshi plans to take an evil path!
Long Yin: Hey, what are you doing? Lie down and sleep!
The sound waves visible to the naked eye distorted the air, and the waves affected the entire hall, the entire tower, and even most of the City of Tears layer by layer.
All the ghosts were affected by the sound of the dragon's roar, as if they were running through the heavy snow that was tens of degrees below zero, and they fell from the sky with trembling bodies. Not to mention getting into the huge armor to fight, they couldn't even stop twitching.
Bumblebee next to him looked at him in shock, could the skill Dragon Roar be so powerful?
She has been carefully taught since she was a child and has extraordinary talents. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of meeting 'other people's children'.
Yu Hongshi raised his eyebrows and happily pulled him into Lu Ruien's room.
Lurian was wearing a long robe and a one-eyed mask with no specific shape. Yu Hongshi bowed slightly apologetically, "Not only do I want to disturb your sleep, but I also have to kill you."
Dream Nail Draw!
Buzz!
The orange-red dream reappeared, and Yu Hongshi entered smoothly. On the high platform in the distance was the floating Lureen. The whole scene was exactly the same as when the beast Hera was there.
The old rule is to use the Dream Nail to listen to the dream language first.
'...for the beloved king...'
'...to sleep...to serve...'
'...the seal must remain...'
'……Keep……'
Yu Hongshi was not surprised. It was consistent with the description in the original game. Lurian was the most loyal person to White King Worm. The others either negotiated terms or had back-ups, but he was the only one who fully assisted.
I shook the stick. Although I admire your loyalty, I still have to beat you to death.
'...Beloved King...why have you abandoned us...'
'...That road...is wrong...'
Pop!
Yu Hongshi was a little unhappy. Is this a way of not shedding tears without seeing the coffin? After hitting the coffin with the stick, he uttered a few dream words that he had never heard before.
Seeing Lu Ruien's dream dissipate, Yu Hongshi reluctantly withdrew, while thinking about the dream words just now.
This is another sentence that has never been heard in the game. It seems that the most loyal Lurian also has resentment towards White King Worm. This... what has the White King done? Even Lurian, who is so loyal to him, can't stand it? Just because it's just
Escape?
What else does it mean that that path is wrong? What path did White King take? Or, did Lurian think it was wrong to find a container to seal the radiation?
No, if Lurian felt that it was wrong to find a container to seal the radiation, then there would be no dream talk.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go quickly and don't disturb Senior's sleep anymore." Bumblebee bowed to Lurian, then turned and left the room.
Yu Hongshi followed slowly, leaving only one teacher, Mo Ruomeng, and then went to see the Hollow Knight.
Ouch!
Just after walking out of the tower, a long roar suddenly came from the sky, as if something had awakened.
The two of them were stunned and looked at each other in disbelief. Teacher Noro Meng... is dead?
Although this place is far away from the Black Egg Temple, they can still clearly feel the roar coming from it. The Hollow Knight has awakened, which means that the last seal, the teacher Moromeng, is dead.
But they are still in the City of Tears, who is so considerate to help them save time? It’s boring, just turn it off, why are you cheating while playing a single-player game?
"No matter what happens, let's go to the Black Egg Temple."
Bumblebee was held down by Yu Hongshi as soon as he started, "Let's take another route and go to the Black Egg Temple through the Blue Lake."
Bumblebee was a little curious, "That will take us far away."
"I have to confirm one thing, okay, that's it, we have plenty of time now."
Bumblebee had no choice but to take him to take a shortcut to the Blue Lake. The Blue Lake is a bit sacred to the bugs, and the clear water is a bit like the Mirror Lake. Just looking at it makes you feel your soul has been cleansed.
However, for Yu Hongshi, the reason why this lake is clear is because it is an underground lake and has less contact with pollution. In addition, the underground water system flows continuously, so it creates the never-ending drizzle in the City of Tears.
Bumblebee didn't know why Yu Hongshi came, but when he saw the figure sitting by the lake, he suddenly understood, "It was you who killed Noila Mo!"
After hearing this, Kui Ruo looked back at the two of them and said, "You are here. I thought I would never see you again."
Yu Hongshi looked at his back. He looked like a greedy traveler. He seemed to want to remember all the scenery along the way and refused to stop for a moment, even if he didn't have time to face them.
"How did you kill Noila Mo? You didn't have the Dream Nail. Also, what did Noila Mo tell you in the end?" This is what Yu Hongshi wants to know most at this time.
Kui Ruo was silent for a moment, "King Bai has already embarked on that path. The teacher has no intention of criticizing anything, although he also feels that that path is wrong. But he has to admit that that path is also a way to eliminate radiation, but
...Everything is doomed and cannot be changed."
"It can't be changed. No wonder you responded to Wu En's call. Your Riddler's style is exactly the same." Yu Hongshi covered his face. Is it because speaking riddles seems to be very cultured?
Kui Ruo seemed to be amused by Yu Hongshi's expression, "The expressions of insects are not as rich as yours. Sometimes I really envy you for being able to have so many rich expressions. I really want to visit your hometown, my friend... be you
What you have to do is take your friends and leave and never come back."
He said it as if he wanted to come...
Quiruo turned his head again and continued to stare at the Blue Lake, "Looking at it, my heart finally calmed down. I came to this world twice, but the mission made me forget the feeling of the first time. It's great to be able to witness it again.
This beautiful world.”
"I should thank you. Hallownest is beautiful and wonderful, but none of the miracles it presents can compare with you. Your roar washed away most of the City of Tears, and also reminded me of many things. Only
Unfortunately, I can still remember too few. Maybe I should be grateful for these? As a thank you, I will give you this bone nail!"
Quiruo reached out and inserted the bone nail from his waist into the ground. "This is a pure and perfect bone nail. You probably won't be able to find another one in the entire Hallownest. A hero can't kill with a stick."
Radiant, hey hey hey!"
Yu Hongshi's heart sank. Kui Ruo was an explorer but also a warrior. When he gave up his sword, it meant the end of his life.
"Actually, there are still many goals in life..."
Yu Hongshi still wanted to give some advice, but Kui Ruo finally suppressed all his dissuasion with one sentence.
"In order to enter the teacher's dream, I took the initiative to embrace the plague. When I entered the dream, the teacher did not blame me and praised me for my decision-making. Do you know how long it has been since I received praise from the teacher?"
Kui Ruo said with a proud and sincere smile, and the brightness of that smile hit Yu Hongshi's heart hard. He wanted to cry, but the state of his soul seemed to prevent him from crying.
"I forgot all the tragedies, all I saw were miracles!"
Yu Hongshi pulled Bumblebee away, as if a step too late would lead to disaster. Bumblebee allowed Yu Hongshi to hold him and did not resist. She already understood what Kui Ruo meant, but she didn't understand.
"He...he is actually immortal. Even if he is infected with the plague, he can return to normal after we kill the radiation."
Yu Hongshi paused slightly, his face was extremely ugly, and his tone was a bit harsh, "Because he killed his most beloved teacher with his own hands, his mission is over, and he is unable to save Hallownest, which has moved him countless times, because... you
