Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Dead in vain.

Opolupo's attack came too suddenly. Just two giant insects could almost spray the venom all over the Colosseum without any warning, just like Shiro's mask suddenly falling off.

There was silence in the audience for a moment. Everyone stared blankly at the mask half-buried in the venom, obviously not realizing what was happening.

"...Dead, dead?"

Ida saw that the liquid in the mask had changed from black to orange, and spoke subconsciously, then turned to look at Mo Rong aside. At this time, he was just like himself, confused by this sudden accident.

Opolupo's attack was suddenly cut off by an inexplicable force and sent into the darkness above. The next moment, the figure on the stone chair was no longer there, but appeared in the center of the Colosseum, leaning over to go. Pick up Shiro's mask.

In the eyes of everyone, it was just the King of Fools who simply leaned over, but the fact was that the moment he touched his hand on the mask, the White King's consciousness had already entered his mind, and its power was as powerful as a mountain. Like pressing down on the King of Fools.

"Something happened to it, didn't it."

The indifferent voice sounded in the mind of the King of Fools, shocking him. After much hesitation, he finally told the truth.

"King, the rules of the Colosseum are like this. There is a fine line between life and death. I also regret the death of the person you sent, but..."

"You know it was sent by me, and you watched it pass away with your own eyes?!"

The words were obviously filled with anger, and the King of Fools didn't know how to respond for a moment, but the matter had reached this point, and there was no point in trying to excuse him.

"The rules of the Colosseum have always been like this. Forgive me for offending. King, you must abide by it even if you are here in person."

When the King of Fools said this, he was already determined to withstand the overwhelming anger, but the next words of the White King pulled him out of the torment.

"Put the mask in your shadow room, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"...The king doesn't intend to punish me?"

The King of Fools never heard the White King's response. He took the mask and the bone nails that fell to the ground into his arms, then looked at the referee in the audience, turned and left the Colosseum.

Bang!

The iron gates inside and outside the Colosseum rose at the same time. What this meant was clear to the audience and the fools. The enthusiasm in their eyes was replaced by regret, and many people began to sigh involuntarily.

"Alas, I still couldn't survive the Conqueror's Trial. I thought I would be lucky enough to see a challenger who participated in the Fool's Trial in this life."

"If you ask me, it's good luck for that guy to pass in front. Just look at it, it died before it could even react."

"Try to react to that big guy's attack. Good luck. If it were you, you wouldn't even be able to get through the door of this trial."

"Why, why don't you let me talk if I can't beat you?"

Bai's death allowed Mo Rong to see another face of the audience. They just sighed for the failure of the trial and no one cared about the safety of the challenger.

Yes, life in this place is really not worth caring about.

Mo Rong didn't stay outside the court for long. After seeing the King of Fools taking away Bai's mask, he suddenly remembered something in his heart and turned around and walked quickly towards the Fools' Lounge.

"Brother Morong..."

Kui Ruo glanced at Ida when he saw this, and the two of them immediately followed his pace. He had seen the two sitting together in the lounge before. It seems to have something to do with it. Now Bai's passing must have given Mo Rong a lot of money. blow.

If the two of them look at Mo Rong at this time, it is not difficult to find that he is not sad, or in other words, it is not the time to be sad yet.

Sure enough, the door to the closed chamber he noticed when he went down to the lounge was now open. In the game, once the knight dies in the Colosseum, his soul will appear here.

But just when he was about to enter the secret room, the King of Fools came towards him. Their eyes met, but the other party spoke first, with a slightly unkind tone.

"You are also sent by the king, right?"

The words reached Mo Rong's ears, inadvertently revealing a piece of information to him. Combined with what Bai said before, it seems that the fundamental reason why it came here for the trial was King Bai's intention.

Want to come here to hone your senior skills? Aren’t the Five Horsemen enough?

Mo Rong did not think deeply, now he had to deal with the King of Fools in front of him.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

Mo Rong never hesitates to be sharp towards those who come with bad intentions.

"It doesn't matter to me whether you are or not. The reason why I ask you is just out of curiosity."

The King of Fools squinted his eyes and compared the two carefully, easily discovering the difference. There was no aura of the White King on Mo Rong's body.

Maybe they are just the same race.

"Take good care of it, maybe it will make that person notice you."

A contemptuous look passed over Mo Rong, and he left the secret room not long after. Seeing him leaving, Mo Rong didn't pay attention to what the King of Fools had just said, and immediately stepped into it.

Live in vain.

The black shadow floating in the air had bright eyes. The moment its mask came into contact with Bai, the surrounding void particles from unknown sources poured into the mask crazily and slowly condensed into shape.

"I go!"

There was a sound of surprise with a hint of panic behind Yu Mo Rong. Ida and Kuiruo witnessed the whole process of Bai's body reshaping with their own eyes outside the secret room, and their mouths did not close for a long time.

Ida didn't have much knowledge and only regarded it as the magic of ghosts and gods. For a while, she didn't dare to step into the secret room again, but Queiro could be regarded as growing up in science. When encountering this magical scene, excitement will definitely overcome fear.

"Stop!"

Seeing Kui Ruo's half-foot entering the secret room, Mo Rong immediately shouted loudly, startling Kui Ruo.

"What...what happened?"

Mo Rong kept waving his hands to signal Kui Ruo to stay away from this place. The void matter was invisible to them, but it could have an indelible negative impact on ordinary people. He didn't want Kui Ruo to get involved with this stuff.

"Don't come in, the things floating in here are deadly."

"Then Brother Morong, you..."

"You and I have different physiques. You can't compare with me. Get out now!"

After hearing this, Kui Ruo had no choice but to retract his idea of ​​entering and exploring, and waited quietly outside for the two of them to come out. It would not be too late to ask again then.

Bai's eyes gradually came back to reality, and he knew that he had been defeated by Opolupo's men not long ago. He then picked up the bone nails on the ground and immediately walked towards the secret room and straight to the hall.

The receptionist didn't understand at first what the person who brought the child was doing with so many Geos, but he was still confused.

At this time, the receptionist's hair stood on end, his hands were pressed against the wall, and his body was trembling as he looked at the 'dead' Bai in front of him.

He understands now.
