Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Holding bone nails and a shield, Mo Rong continued to break through the encircling team of sentries. The scholars' light balls and his bone nail skills were used alternately, and the interior of the Soul Sanctuary was destroyed in a mess.

"You have to hurry up."

The hunter followed behind Mo Rong, occasionally helping him touch up his wounds when he was in a good mood. Most of the time, he was just like a spectator, watching Mo Rong kill everyone in the Soul Sanctuary.

"Can't you help me?"

Mo Rong's bone nails once again stun the sentries that kept coming, looking a little helpless.

Although his strength was much higher than that of the enemies in front of him, the human sea tactics were really annoying. Although he used the Soul of Vengeance and Soul Crystal Beam to eliminate many sentries and scholars, there were still a steady stream of enemies pouring out from both sides.

"You only said you wanted me to help you stop someone, but you didn't say you wanted to fight the enemy together with you."

"That's a different price tag."

"..."

Mo Rong spotted the exit, and shot the Spirit of Vengeance out of his body three times in a row, barely clearing a path paved by the sentries.

He originally wanted to reserve more soul power for emergencies, but now it seems that he can no longer hold back.

"Follow!"

Pink light exploded from behind Mo Rong, and then his figure disappeared in front of the hunter in an instant, the speed was staggering.

"You're still hiding your stupidity, you're an excellent hunter."

The hunter's eyes were full of admiration, and he kicked his legs together, leaping over the crowd below and chasing after Mo Rong's leaving figure.

As for Mo Rong, who had just arrived in another room, he immediately stopped and was shocked.

He said how the soul master only made such preparations when he knew he would come.

But why does the Watcher Knight appear here? !

......

"You seem to have no idea what you are doing. What is it?"

On the rooftop of the Soul Sanctuary, besides the Soul Master, there is another figure exuding a cold aura.

"The meaning of the birth of the Soul Sanctuary is to pursue the mystery of the soul. As for what you said I am doing...I can only say that I am doing my job."

Soumas looked from the rooftop through the fog to the endless stream of insects in the city below.

"Your experiment has gone against your original intention, and the king will not allow you to continue."

"Violating my original intention? Where did you see that I violated my original intention?"

Soumas's voice suddenly became louder, and his body stood upright involuntarily, like an alert goose.

Lurian sighed. This was the second time he saw Somas arresting people from outside for experiments. It seemed that he was not an ordinary resident.

Don’t you even install it now?

"No matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the piles of failed experimental subjects in the secret room at my feet. You have gone astray. Now that you have returned, there is still room for turning around."

"Lurien, you don't have to beat around the bush like that, it's going to make the two of us very difficult to deal with."

"Do you think I would thank you for the last attack? Humph! If it weren't for your negligence, my experiment would have progressed much faster than it is now!"

"As for the failed experimental subjects you mentioned, I did not force them to conduct experiments. The pursuit of power is an instinct that exists in our bodies. Even you can't suppress it, let alone others?"

"But you never said anything about the consequences of a failed experiment."

Thomas's eyes widened slightly, and he turned to look at Lurian in surprise.

"What kind of joke did I hear?"

"You can get Geo and increase your strength at no cost? Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing earlier? Let me experience it too!"

"You know that's not what I meant..."

"That's enough! Lurian, look at those stupid people at your feet."

"Poor people can only live by their own lives, while rich people can easily buy the fate of others with Geo. This was not the case before."

"Those idiots who have lost their sense of worry and fighting and can only enjoy themselves foolishly and selfishly have never cared about the future of Hallownest. If something changes in the future, what else can they do?"

"Smashing others to death with Geo, or using your own body to support them to death?"

Lurian followed Soumas' gaze and looked toward the street below, and was silent for a long time.

"This is not the reason for you to do evil..."

"You have acknowledged what I said, Lurian, and you also think what I said makes sense. Look at what you have been protecting these years. Rotten things cannot last forever. Development must be accompanied by change."

Lurian's eyes were a little dazed. Although nothing Somass did was a good deed, it could not deny the correctness of part of his ideas.

When he focused his eyes on the crowd walking below again, he only saw a prosperous scene. Although it was flawed, it was still a bright pearl, and his shaken heart immediately became firm again.

"You and I have different ideas, but we have similar pursuits. I hope this is the last time. If you do it again, I will no longer be merciful."

Soumas opened his mouth to refute, but Lurian raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Your soul experiment should return to the right path as soon as possible. The king has found a solution. You know what I am talking about."

This time, Soumas was silent. When he heard Lurian's words, his mind went blank.

Found a way?

Does this mean that his experiment is meaningless?

Is the snail shaman caught in vain?

A series of questions appeared in his mind, constantly impacting the belief he used to support his day and night experiments, and he could not recover for a long time.

The chaotic emotions stirred up the soul power in Soumas' body. The pain made him wake up, and his eyes were no longer blank.

No, he hasn't failed yet. As long as his experimental results can compare with the king's method, then everything still has meaning!

"Lurien, I want to borrow your knights."

Soumas' abrupt words caused Lurian, who was about to leave, to stop, frowning slightly, and his tone was slightly unkind.

"You didn't listen to what I just said, and you still want to reach out to me?"

"No, I'm just borrowing this time to prevent the last accident from happening again. I regard it as your apology to me."

"I never need to apologize to you. You also know that everything has consequences. You have to bear the consequences of what you do."

"Lend it to me, just this once, and I won't commit any kidnapping again."

"What you said is true?"

Thomas nodded, and Lurian hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"Okay, but I can only lend you some knights from the knights, and they have to guard my spire."

Soumas curled his lips, thinking that he still couldn't tell who was protecting whom, but he still agreed.

"No problem, just a part, it's better than nothing."

"The knights under my command will not sacrifice their lives for your experiment. If something unexpected happens, they will at most help you stop the intruder, that's all."
