Hollow Knight: Hallownest

(Readers who have never been exposed to the game can use the 'Hollow Knight Wikipedia' to have a better experience after playing the game.)

Murong is a Hollow Knight player.

When he first came into contact with Hollow Knight, he fell deeply in love with the game.

You ask him why?

He would say that he had never played such a fun and wholesome game because it successfully cured his low blood pressure.

As a college student with no spare time, in order to earn some money while playing games, Murong became a video blogger and cut some harmless clips of Hollow Knight to attract traffic.

And the task he gave himself today was to pass the Radiant Level Marcos.

"I*!"

As the little knight's soul dissipated in the air countless times, Mo Rong finally died of a heart attack caused by high blood pressure.

......

In a laboratory in the Soul Sanctuary, the Soul Master nervously looked at the storage and transformation device in front of him and slowly pulled down the valve.

There are many jars with white luminous substances floating in this laboratory, but what is stored in the device being activated is different from them. There are not only those white substances, but also a completely different kind of black.

Along with the sound of the machine starting up, the black and white substances in the tank continued to absorb and fuse with each other. Finally, as the white substance was swallowed up by the black, the machine gradually stopped.

"Is this... is this a success?"

The soul master looked at the black substance floating in front of him and slowly brought his hands closer. He saw that the black substance gradually climbed up his arm and squirmed, and then a white light glowed slightly on his body.

"He...he's sucking my soul?!"

The soul master stared at the black substance on his arm with wide eyes, and the anticipation in his eyes suddenly turned into ecstasy.

"Success! Soul and void matter can really be blended together!"

The soul master's joy did not last long, because he found that although the black substance on his arm had been sucking his soul, it showed no sign of waking up. He felt a little weak from being sucked by this thing.

He quickly plucked the black substance off his arm and put it back into the jar.

"Is it because the soul power has not been absorbed enough that it cannot be awakened?" The soul master thought, connected the soul storage jar on the side with a pipe, and pulled the valve again.

"I'll let you eat as much as you want this time, don't let me down..."

The soul master looked at the jar in front of him, his eyes becoming more and more eager, as if he had seen the new experimental results born before his eyes.

The black substance in the jar continued to swallow the souls injected into it and gradually expanded. At this critical moment, the machine began to roar violently.

"No! The machine is overheating!"

Upon seeing this, the soul master hurriedly ran out of the laboratory.

There was only a loud "bang" sound, and the laboratory behind him was suddenly filled with sand and rocks and soot.

After waiting for a while for the dust to dissipate, the Soul Master looked inside and saw that the rubble and fragments of the jar-shaped container were scattered all over the place. The thing he had been looking forward to just now had disappeared in the explosion.

"Oh, the machine can't transform so many souls at the same time. Why did I forget about it when I was excited!"

The soul master slapped himself twice, and the enthusiasm in his eyes had turned into regret.

However, the Soul Master was not depressed for long. This experiment had brought about an unprecedented breakthrough. The dejection was swept away. The Soul Master straightened his body and walked out of the laboratory.

"Your Majesty, I will not let you down in the mission you have given me!"

If the soul master looked back a few more times, he would find something falling outside the window.

That's what he craves.

The black matter did not actually disappear due to the explosion of the machine. Instead, it flew out of the secret room with the help of the impact. It was still falling. The next moment it was pulled by a mysterious force and disappeared in the air.

......

"Marcos, you ****, I ******, you are such a ****!" Mo Rong suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and opened his mouth to speak the essence of the country. After a while, his voice gradually weakened, but his pupils kept widening. .

Looking at the unfamiliar sight in front of him, Mo Rong was stunned. Wasn't he beating Marcos in the dormitory just now?

The thoughts in his mind were in chaos, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Mo Rong walked out of the bed and saw a telescope standing there not far away. He curiously stepped forward to take a look.

What comes into view is a large square, and... beetles? !

Mo Rong was startled and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Thinking of what he had just seen, and looking around at the telescope and indoor environment in front of him, Mo Rong had to admit a fact.

He should have traveled to Hollow Knight.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Mo Rong raised his hand and slapped himself twice on the face. He was afraid that he had been beaten stupidly by Marcos.

After a while, Mo Rong finally figured out two facts.

One is the good news. He didn't feel much after ejaculating himself, so this should be just a dream.

And the other thing, which is also good news, is that he seems to be able to play the immersive Hollow Knight.

Hey hey hey.

Morong was very happy because he could play a new game again without waiting for Silk Pigeon.

While he was thinking wildly, there was a lot of movement behind him, and an elevator slowly appeared in front of him, and the figure standing in it made Mo Rong even more sure that this was the world of Hollow Knight.

Because the person who came was the owner here, wearing a one-eyed mask, Lurian, who was respectfully called the Watcher.

And the place where they are is probably the towering building overlooking the entire City of Tears, the Watcher's Spire.

"Are you awake?" Lurian asked.

Mo Rong looked at the figure floating in front of him, stunned, and did not respond for a while.

Lu Ruien explored Mo Rong for a while before relaxing.

"That guy hasn't stopped doing experiments on living subjects yet..." Lurian's expression was hidden under the mask. People couldn't see his expression clearly, but the anger hidden in his voice could be heard.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Lurian asked immediately.

Mo Rong didn't understand the experiment he was talking about, but seeing that Lu Ruien was not hostile to him, he hurriedly said:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"It's okay. Since you have come to Hallownest, you are my people, and will naturally be protected by my Hallownest. Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again next time."

"Butler, send him down." Lurian said to the other end of the room.

"As ordered."

A figure in a red robe appeared in the darkness and bowed in response.

Mo Rong looked at the housekeeper, his eyes shifted, and he looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side. He was shocked by the figure reflected, because it was a pure black body.

"container?"

Mo Rong's eyes widened again, and he shouted in surprise.

"Am I a container?!"
