Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 542 - 266: The Will of the World

"Squat down."

"Stand up."

"Roll over."

"Shake hands."

Watching Fujita Hideyuki flawlessly complete a series of commands, Wu Chang was awestruck.

No wonder he’s someone who toils laboriously but willingly stands with the monsters; truly fitting to be a dog.

No, what amazed him was the power of Mind Resonance, as the description mentioned complete control, and it was indeed complete control.

While executing Wu Chang’s orders, Fujita Hideyuki seemed to abandon his own will, without a trace of hesitation.

Wu Chang looked at the button on his clothes, thinking to himself that it’s fortunate this thing is in the hands of a gentleman like him. If it fell into the country of Fujita Hideyuki, who knows how many films about hypnosis and brainwashing could be made.

Although he still wanted to test the extent of Mind Resonance’s control, he had to hurry up now. If he stayed in the dark for too long, Sword Star and the others might not resist coming to find him.

He said to Fujita Hideyuki:

"Give me the key to the gate leading to the Underwater Ruins."

Fujita Hideyuki took out a Metal Token from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Wu Chang with both hands.

Wu Chang received the token. On the surface of the token, there were two rows of flashing numbers, a randomly changing forty-two digit password, specially encrypted, difficult to crack.

It was the key he saw in Milo Black’s resentment.

He continued to ask, "What is your purpose?"

Fujita Hideyuki answered, "Desire and greed are polluting and destroying the world. It needs to be cleansed with the Divine blessing to allow all things to be redeemed."

"Fleeing from sacred death is the demon’s whisper of degradation. I cannot let sinners escape to the purified New World carrying their sins."

Wu Chang frowned and impatiently said, "Speak human language."

Fujita Hideyuki: "The High Priest wants me to prevent the Revelation Tablet from being discovered by outsiders and to help him trigger the Great Flood."

Wu Chang nodded. Can’t he speak human language?

"Who is the High Priest? How did he find you?"

Fujita Hideyuki said, "The High Priest was the last High Priest of the Naru tribe before the flood submerged the Divine Hall of Death. He believes the previous High Priest made a mistake by leaving prophecies to avoid sacred death. He felt that the previous High Priest lived too long, and his spirit had been tainted by worldly filth. So, he found a way to sink the Divine Hall of Death, permanently sealing the Revelation Tablet."

"But he didn’t expect that after thousands of years, people would find the ruins and bring them to light, so he approached me to help him accomplish the world’s purification." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Wu Chang questioned, "He asked for your help and you just helped him?"

Could it be that the so-called High Priest also has Mind Resonance?

At this point, Fujita Hideyuki suddenly burst into tears, saying, "He showed me the world’s great Will, and I realized that death is our ultimate destination. So, I willingly helped him."

Wu Chang clicked his tongue; this guy seems to have fallen under an Illusion Technique.

He continued to ask, "Were you the one behind the assault incident at the Night Island research station? Why did you leave four survivors? What’s special about them?"

Fujita Hideyuki wiped away his tears and said, "The assault was carried out by the Divine Envoy. I was only responsible for cleaning up and executing the final setup. The four survivors were left to lure more people to the island."

"The Divine Envoy needs food, needs Energy."

Wu Chang revealed an ’as expected’ expression, as he hadn’t seen anything special about the four from either Johnson’s nightmares or others’ resentments.

Their work involved one fueling the Night Traveling Lamp, one narrating Naru tribe history and applying boosts to outsiders, one guiding outsiders to explore the research station and providing the key to open the Ruins’ gate, and the last helping to interpret ancient text and murals about the Ruins.

Their work is just like pre-set NPC guides, which is obviously no coincidence.

Combined with the ship approaching Night Island every seven days, he had speculated then that it might be a method specifically to attract outsiders.

"Was that corpse replacing you inside the research station a Divine Envoy?"

Fujita Hideyuki: "Yes."

Wu Chang squinted and asked, "After shedding its human shell, did it become a mucus tentacle monster underwater?"

Fujita Hideyuki wore an expression of surprise. He really wanted to ask how Wu Chang knew what was underwater without even getting the key, but his current identity did not permit him to ask, only to answer.

"Yes."

Wu Chang slowly paced around Fujita Hideyuki, "Did you retrieve the key to the Ruins because the Divine Envoy is full and about to take action?"

This time, Fujita Hideyuki bent down deeply, the angle of his bow greater than 90 degrees, saying:

"Yes!"

Wu Chang was very satisfied with Fujita Hideyuki’s answers. He said, "Final question, what did you see as the world’s Will?"

This was actually the question he most wanted to ask, but it was also the most dangerous, hence it had to be asked last.

Fujita Hideyuki straightened up, and when he raised his head, Wu Chang saw his face full of tears as he sobbed uncontrollably.

He kept wiping his tears, sobbing softly. Each time he tried to say something, it was interrupted by crying.

This was the first time he had not answered Wu Chang’s question since being fully controlled.

Wu Chang repeated, "What is the world’s Will you saw?"

Crack!

This time, Fujita Hideyuki bent his body again, folding up at an astonishing angle of 180 degrees.

But unlike before, this time he folded backwards.

Fujita Hideyuki folded himself back like toppling backward and, as if that wasn’t enough, he then clasped his legs with his hands and bent forward from under his hips, staring at Wu Chang in a bizarre posture.
