Chapter 746 - 656: Kellagg’s Letter
"It’s time to consider your opinion," Bai Wei’an appeared thoughtful.
"So, what have you decided?"
"Could it be a bit..." Bai Youyou said. "Too hasty?"
"Is it? But those around you, even that Young Master of Chichu Heaven, have already taken on their own responsibilities," Bai Wei’an said.
"Let’s open this letter first, it’s not too late to decide later," Bai Wei’an said.
Bai Youyou reluctantly took the letter.
Staring at the seal on the letter, countless images flashed through her mind—the half-open door, the high-ranking council members, those red, emotionless eyes.
Bai Youyou was momentarily absent-minded, the flickering fire in the study suddenly extinguished, darkness spread all around, countless writhing hands whispered as they approached her.
As if guided by a ghostly force, Bai Youyou pinched the seal with her fingertips, gently tearing it away. The half-open letter exuded a piercing coldness, freezing the blood in her veins.
"Open it."
Whether it was Bai Youyou’s imagination or not, Bai Wei’an’s tone beside her became incredibly cold, with a hint of abnormal calmness.
As the envelope was fully opened, the white letter paper slowly soaked with blood. The large, blood-red letters were like spikes stabbing into her eyes.
— LEAVE HERE NOW!!!
The blood-red words were crooked, the flowing blood snaked around, forming a horrifying ghost face, suddenly appearing, emitting an ear-piercing screech.
Bai Youyou abruptly put the letter down, gasping for breath in fright, the screech lingered in her ears for a long time.
Only then did she realize she had broken out in a cold sweat.
"What’s the matter, my child?" Bai Wei’an asked with concern.
"It’s nothing..." Bai Youyou took a long breath, the images in her mind faded. "Nothing."
She looked back at the letter, the writing on it began to reveal itself.
"Like in a game movie, by the time you read this line, I’ve already departed. Love from Manchester Order.
"Well, the men of the Kyrrag family find it hard to endure peace, the oppressive atmosphere, like water, is swallowing up my life.
"If Roy were still here, I don’t think I would have started this letter in such a way.
"Presumably, you’ve passed numerous tests and obtained the Key?
"I’ve imagined countless times who would succeed me after I leave, whether that person’s character is upright, whether they are attractive, most importantly, whether they can take good care of this toy for me.
"Though I call it a toy, there’s nothing frivolous about it, it’s very important to me, extremely important, like the first puppet I grabbed as a baby, it has accompanied me all my life.
"Were it not for the unbearable lightness of life, I think I would never let go of this toy.
"I have poured all my life’s efforts into it, valuing it more than my lover, more than life, so much so that I missed many things, missed Roy’s birthday, missed the last chance to see her, missed all the opportunities to put myself in order.
"In short, take care of this toy for me."
— Manchester.
Bai Youyou’s frown could almost reach the heavens.
It’s hard to imagine these nonsensical words could be Manchester’s last will; though she had heard that he was eccentric in life, this seemed a bit too much.
Just as she was about to put the letter down, new writing began to appear on it.
"To the point, the following words can only be seen by you."
Bai Youyou looked closely and only then realized that the newly generated writing was not on the letter but appeared floating instead.
"Do not be surprised, these words are directly projected onto your retina."
"Ahem, the essence of Oasis is a space completely different from this world.
"It is not a so-called ’virtual world,’ it is a real world.
"However, the rules of this world are different from the rules of our world. When I took over, it was like a relic left by the ancients, already in a formative stage.
Everything you currently know about Oasis has been built upon this formation.
"It will observe everything that happens in reality and then project it into Oasis.
"Everything that happens within Oasis constitutes events that have occurred in reality.
"Please remember, it is everything."
Seeing these two words, a torrent of information instantaneously surged into Bai Youyou’s mind. Instead of shock, what she felt first was a chilling dread.
She recalled various experiences in the league duplication.
"The difference in this projection method makes it difficult for even those within the events, tourists included, to detect it.
"Since the coordinates of this space were captured by Nighttime Dreams Company in the Vanglis Mountains, I’ve been researching why this world exists at all.
"Furthermore, who crafted this world, turning it from chaotic and disordered space into the formation of Oasis.
"I temporarily refer to him as the Pioneer, the Pioneer of the Bronze Era, the Cradle Era, even earlier eras.
"The deeds of the Pioneer have long been elusive, I can only infer the stories of that era based on what I know and some conjectures.
"Their civilization might have faced some crisis, a civilization-ending crisis, which led the Pioneer to create such a world, to observe the real world and conduct a pre-show of extant crises to find ways to resolve them.
"Clearly, the Pioneer failed, their civilization perished, the frequency emitted by this lost space hovered like a Ghost over the Vanglis Mountains.
"Until today, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years later, the coordinates were captured again, seeing the light of day by the people of the Silver Era."
"Suppose there is such a possibility, our history is wrong, or rather incomplete, and before the Cradle Era, there really was such a glorious civilization, perhaps more advanced than ours, they entered the Golden Era, faced a civilization-ending crisis.
"And now, the horror stories, miracles, and even more of the ’Mysterious’ presences in this world, have lurked in the undercurrents for long enough, accompanying us from the inception of civilization to this day, now it has reached an uncontrollable point. Could we consider that the pointers have already moved to the end, the civilization-ending crisis is about to replay."
"Could the undercurrents subvert our civilization at any moment?"
"This is truly a dreadful guess."
"Oasis is a sword, representing hope and possibility for the future, this sword I hand over to you.
"Your character, appearance do not matter, I trust you can use this sword well, to cut through the shadows shrouding civilization.
"Grasp this sword, for me to see the day of Golden Era’s arrival."
"Also,
"A piece of advice from the men of the Kyrrag family."
"Don’t make it worse when life starts to improve."
