Chapter 1192: Chapter 537 Secret Art Society_2
The news about Mad Jack was already the hottest topic on the Heart Web, but this was the first time someone had directly seen Mad Jack’s face, causing a huge stir on the Heart Web.
At this point, information such as "Mad Jack is Mansour" and "Be careful of Mansour" had started to spread wildly on the Heart Web, and Mu You believed they would soon reach the ears of the Regent King.
Didn’t he need a reason to start a war? This was the reason Mu You was providing him with.
Given the Regent King’s demonstrated keenness, he should be able to realize this incident might have been deliberately framed, but with the urgency to go to war that he exhibited last night, Mu You was confident he would not pass up this opportunity.
The rest, Mu You didn’t have to worry about. He let the news ferment slowly on the Heart Web as he went back into the game to continue his hunt.
Plagued by a status of "lost sanity," Mu You forcefully stayed active for a whole day and ultimately hunted down 17 Vampires, obtaining 27 kinds of Blood Rhythms, including 7 rare Blood Rhythms.
In just two days, he had already gathered more than half of the rare Blood Rhythms.
After night fell in the City of Enoch, Mu You stopped playing in a timely manner and pulled his character back to the apartment to rest.
There was temporarily nothing to do in the game, but unfortunately, he himself couldn’t rest so early tonight.
Around midnight, Mu You, carrying a stack of cards, went down to the first floor.
At this time, both of his doppelgangers had finished their tasks and were waiting for him downstairs.
Mu You handed over the rings engraved with the images of Gemini and Scorpio to the two individuals.
"After four thousand years, we’re finally having a meeting again," the Watchman remarked nostalgically.
Yes, it was Wednesday night again, and after the stroke of midnight, it would be time for the weekly secret technique meeting.
This time at the meeting, Mu You intended to bring both of his doppelgangers along, primarily to introduce them to the others. That way, if he had something urgent to attend to, he could have the doppelgangers represent him.
Just past midnight, three red teleportation gates projected onto the ground from their rings.
Mu You distributed some cards among the two of them, and then the three of them stepped into the respective gates together.
As the light before him shifted, Mu You once again appeared in the ancient and chaotic hall.
Mu You turned his head to see that except for the empty seat to his left, the entire hall was packed.
"Taurus isn’t here again?" Mu You sighed.
Since Taurus last intervened to suppress the Z-World Travelers last month, this was her sixth absence from the meeting.
"It’s been a long time! How is everyone doing?"
As Mu You pondered, someone in the center of the room had already preemptively spoken up, but this time the first to speak wasn’t the Lions, it was from Scorpio’s seat.
The familiar tone caused everyone to exchange puzzled glances.
The Lion looked strangely at the silhouette occupying Scorpio’s seat, sizing him up: "Brother, who are you? And who’s this Gemini gentleman? Boss, are these two your acquaintances?"
Others too looked at Mu You with curiosity.
As far as they were aware, the Crystals of Gemini and Scorpio were currently in Aries’ possession. Aries had also placed his own doppelganger in Gemini’s seat before, but since Scorpio’s emergence, Aries had clarified the situation to everyone, and ever since, these two seats had been vacant.
It was unexpected that people turned up today, and their tone of voice didn’t sound anything like Aries’. Everyone was momentarily confused. Who were these newcomers? How did they get the rings?
"These two are my... juniors, both under the Calamity Witch’s tutelage, and they also have connections to the Arcane Association, so I’ve had them officially join," Mu You said after some thought.
It wasn’t that he was intentionally keeping secrets from the others; it’s just that these two doppelgangers were not like ordinary ones. They both possessed their own personalities and game characters and were, strictly speaking, two independent individuals. Explaining the Shape Splitter from scratch was too cumbersome, so Mu You simply gave them the identity of "juniors" for easier understanding.
After Mu You finished, the others were still visibly confused.
They had more or less figured out Aries’ identity, with a clear record of his life history. How could there suddenly be two juniors popping up?
"The specifics are rather complex, but all you need to know is that these two individuals are absolutely trustworthy and will never betray the association," Mu You added.
At those words, everyone’s expressions eased. Since Aries had spoken thus, they must be his acquaintances in reality, known through and through, which explained their complete trust.
"Haha, don’t worry, from now on we’re all part of the same team; no need for formalities. I go by Number One, and he by Number Two. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just ask," the Watchman said with a laugh. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Number One? Number Two? Guys, those names are a bit odd, aren’t they? Don’t you have any slightly more normal code names?" the Lion asked curiously.
"I don’t mind the name at all, but if you find it awkward, you can call me by my stage name I came up with last night, ’Chilabi,’" the Watchman replied.
"Chilabi... Bro, you’re into anime, right? Still, it’s the first time I’ve heard someone comparing themselves to the Eight-tailed human pillar," the Lion quipped.
"Haha, I truly am a human pillar, want me to prove it with a rap?" the Watchman said, eager to show off.
"Oh? You’ve got that talent, huh? Don’t hide it, but I was once a shining star in the rap world too. We’ve got a worthy opponent today; what do you say, brother, shall we have a go at it?"
"Sure..."
"Cough, let’s save the chitchat for later and handle the official business first!"
