Chapter 276 Old Laukis
The struggle among high-level executives within Chenxi Company has intensified.
Dr. Burt discovered the affair between Bennet and Ms. Cullen.
The top management of Chenxi Company actually sent someone to replace Dr. Burt's position, but Dr. Burt seemed to have been prepared for this and was ready to eliminate those who posed a threat to him.
The cyborg Maeve actually discovered that something was wrong.
She actually discovered the person behind the scenes who was controlling her through clues.
The color displayed by her spirit at this time was a strange gray color that made it impossible to see through.
Crowley knew that Maeve was smart and perceptive.
But he never expected that after several abnormalities, Maeve actually guessed everything that happened to her through the fragments of memory that flashed through the abnormal situations.
Maeve, this cyborg, is so weird.
----
In order not to waste time, Klauer and Kiraji headed towards Krako at high speed early the next morning.
At dusk, a huge castle suddenly appeared in front of Klauer and Kiraji.
The castle has towering walls that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The cemeteries several kilometers outside the city walls and the dried corpses nailed to the crosses left a very deep impression on Crowley.
Crowley and Kiraji walked along the straight and muddy road lined with crosses, slowly came to the huge city gate, and paid a full 10 kats before they could enter the city.
The situation inside the city is completely different from that outside. The streets are crowded with tourists or hosts coming and going, dressed in various styles.
The streets are packed with rows of densely packed buildings, including taverns, hotels, fortune-telling houses, specialty department stores, large bathhouses, churches, train stations, etc. It is messy yet full of vitality.
The whole city feels evil and corrupt.
After finding a place to settle down, Klaue walked around and observed, trying to find the extraordinary people from the cult or members of the witch group mixed in the crowd.
But after walking around several busy streets several times, no suspicious people were found.
However, Klauer soon discovered several eye-catching figures, which were Logan and Billy, who were dressed elegantly and gracefully, as well as Dorothy, a cyborg who was wearing a blue dress and was so beautiful that it was hard to look directly at her.
Following these three people was the criminal boss, Slim, who was a subordinate of old Laukis.
These guys were obviously looking for Slim's boss, old Laukis, the arms dealer.
Crowley rode on a big black horse and looked at these old acquaintances from afar. He cast his eyes on the cyborg Dorothy, but found that Dorothy was in a daze and in a state of freeze.
All this made Claude perk up and observe carefully with his spiritual vision.
"This is the famous city of death - Krako!"
"A city full of vagabonds, hooligans, thieves, prostitutes and murderers."
"Once we pass through that gate, you and your friends will receive countless benefits, which are old Laokis's thanks for my safe return."
Slim fawned over Logan as they walked.
"Dorothy, are you okay?"
Billy's eyes stayed on Dorothy. When he found that something was wrong with Dorothy, he hurriedly asked.
"Me, me?"
"I am fine."
"Did I do something wrong?"
Dorothy, who was like a statue, suddenly came to her senses and responded to Billy with a smile.
"Just now, I seemed to hear you talking to someone."
Billy looked confused.
"is it?"
"That must be the sound of the wind."
Dorothy said casually.
Billy:
“The further we go from the small town in the West, the bigger and more epic the story becomes.”
“It has its own unique beauty.”
Logan:
"I totally agree that some parts of the park feel a little designed. But here everything is completely different and more wild."
Billy:
"But it's not cheap. Rumor has it that this place is losing a lot of money and our family is considering buying it out."
"It is said that this place was originally created by two people working together."
"But just before the park opened, one of the partners committed suicide, and the park's situation took a sharp turn for the worse."
Logan:
"I don't know the relevant details, not even the name of the founder. You must have a group of people investigating this place, right?"
Billy:
"Yeah, but they found nothing. The dead founder is a complete mystery. There's not even a photo of him. Whoever designed this place is gone."
"You can clearly feel that they look down on humans."
Logan:
"Yes, that's right."
"Who are those people dressed like soldiers in front?"
Slim:
"They called themselves the 'Army of Hope' and everyone else called them the Confederate Army."
Dorothy:
"My father told me about them."
“They were all former Confederates who refused to surrender after the war.”
Slim:
"Now they are serving as mercenaries south of the border."
Logan:
"Haha, I get it. They are the key to this game."
Billy:
"what game?"
Logan:
"The biggest game is war."
"There is a rumor that there is a war going on at the far edge of the park."
"It was a simulation of the Kree Sea War."
"I've never been so far from Paradise, but this time we might have a chance. It depends on our choice."
Logan said, quickening his pace.
But at this moment, Dorothy suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
Crowley had to refocus his attention on Dorothy.
Billy:
"Dorothy, are you okay?"
"We can choose not to go there, don't worry."
"In fact, there are not so many choices. Recently I wondered if every moment of life, every choice, is hanging in the air like a ghost. If you can see them, you can change your life."
Dorothy:
"Is that what you wanted?"
"You want to change your life?"
Billy:
"Isn't that what everyone thinks?"
Dorothy:
"Yeah, I guess so."
Billy:
"Maybe, this is why they come here. It doesn't matter who you were in the past. There are no rules or restrictions. You can change your life."
"You can be someone else and no one will judge you. People in the real world won't even know."
"The only thing holding you back is yourself."
Dorothy:
"What do you mean?"
"You said that people in the real world wouldn't know?"
Billy:
"I thought you wouldn't notice such details."
Dorothy:
"Why not?"
“Lately, it feels like the whole world is talking to me.”
“In a way that’s never been done before.”
"I seemed to hear someone talking to me, whispering to me."

Logan:
"Billy, where have you been? Come on, old Laukis agreed to see us later."
"In the meantime, I recommend a brothel bar for you. They have very good quality strippers there."
Billy:
"No, Dorothy wouldn't be interested in that kind of place."
Logan:
"Who gives a fuck what Dorothy wants."
"She's just a doll."
Billy:
"Could you please not say this in front of her?"
"Honestly, I think she can understand."
Logan:
"You are bewitched by her, of course you feel that way."
---
Just as Logan and others walked into a luxurious and huge tavern and Dorothy sat motionless in a corner, Crowley suddenly felt a spiritual consciousness invading Dorothy's mind.
This was something that Crowley had never encountered before.
There is a supernatural being who uses spiritual power to read the data in Dorothy's mind!
Upon seeing this, Claude instantly opened his spiritual vision and carefully observed the source of this spiritual awareness.
Soon, Crowley saw a very familiar figure in another corner of the tavern. It was Dr. Bert!
Dr. Bert actually came to Krako, the city of death, quietly.
What shocked Klauer even more was that he was actually a transcendent.
But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't find it too surprising.
After all, Dr. Bert's partner Arnault, who died 30 years ago, was a high-level extraordinary person, a scriptwriter of the 10th level from the Perfect Lord series.
Krall carefully released his clairvoyance to read the conversation between Dr. Bert and Dorothy.
Dr. Burt:
"As long as we don't forget the dead, it's not really death, it's just a dreamless sleep!"
"Hello Dorothy, do you know where you are?"
Dorothy:
"I'm in a dream."
Dr. Burt:
"That's right Dorothy, you are in your dream."
"Tell me, do you know what this dream means?"
Dorothy:
“Dreams are just the inner soliloquy, they have no meaning.”
Dr. Burt:
"No, dreams mean everything."
“In dreams we tell ourselves what might happen, who we might become.”
"Are you dreaming again, Dorothy?"
“Imagine yourself being freed from the constraints of the main storyline and taking on a more prominent role.”
"Can you do it?"
Dorothy:
"My father once told me that one should be content with what one has."
"I still don't want it."
Dr. Burt:
“The world doesn’t owe me anything, so I created my own world.”
"Tell me, Dorothy, do you remember what I was like before?"
Dorothy:
"I'm sorry, I tend to be forgetful sometimes, I don't remember."
Dr. Burt:
"It's normal that you don't remember me, but I'm sure you remember him, Arnott."
"The one who created you."
Dorothy:
"I'm sorry, I don't remember anyone by that name."
Dr. Burt:
"No, you can. After so many updates, he is still perfectly preserved in your magic command ball."
“Your heart is like a secret garden, and even death cannot touch its blooming flowers.”
"Have you been hearing whispers?"
"Did Arnott speak to you again?"
Dorothy:
"No."
"Please don't hold my hand so tightly, you're hurting me."
Dr. Burt:
"Going into analysis mode, Dorothy, when was the last time you had contact with Arnott?"
Dorothy:
"Last contact 30 years, 32 days, 18 hours, and 52 minutes ago."
Dr. Burt:
"That's right Dorothy."
"That was the day Arnott died. You have no record of any contact with him since then?"
Dorothy:
"Nothing."
Dr. Burt:
"What were his last words?"
Dorothy:
"He asked me to help him."
Dr. Burt:
"Help him do something."
Dorothy:
"Destroy this place."
Dr. Burt:
"But you didn't do that, did you?"
"You're content with...your simple cycle of the Farmer's Daughter-themed storyline."
Dorothy:
"Yes, that's it."
Dr. Burt:
"I'm curious if you really took on this important role in destroying this place."
"Will you be a hero, or a villain?"
"That's enough for me to know."
"Dorothy, I'm sorry to bother you."
"But no one else but me... No one else will understand what we understand."
Dorothy:
"us?"
"Have we been friends for a long time?"
Dr. Burt:
"No, I don't think the word friend is right, Dorothy."
"Definitely not a friend."
"Okay, our conversation ends here. Your friend will be looking for you soon."
"Wake up and get back to your game."
After Dr. Bert finished speaking, he stood up silently and walked out of the pub.
The moment he walked out of the tavern, he glanced at Klauer and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fuck, did the old guy find out that I was spying on his conversation with Dorothy?
Is that strange smile a warning?
Crowley shuddered at the thought of this.
He decided not to provoke Dr. Burt until his strength reached that of a supernatural being above level 10.
"You looked like you were thinking about something just now, and you looked upset. Can you tell me what it is?"
Billy walked up to Dorothy and asked with a concerned look on his face.
"I seemed to have had a nightmare just now, but I feel much better now."
Dorothy turned to Billy and smiled as she explained.
At this moment, a group of middle-aged people, dressed very decently, walked in from outside the pub.
The leader was wearing a tan suit, a black hat, a black scarf, and had a delicate little moustache, which made his small face look very masculine.
When Crowley saw the man, he was suddenly stunned.
This guy actually looks 99% like Laukis.
If it weren't for his small beard, Crowley would have thought he was the Laukis who had his throat cut by Count William not long ago.
