Chapter 1375 - 438: Constellation Clash
The vortex passage appeared.
Wen Xishu had seen it; it was the passage Liu Jianxin experienced back then.
Once entered, one could be forcibly transformed into a villain.
A reversal of good and evil, then reduced to Aquarius’s puppet.
If not for Liu Jianxin’s brief moment in the passage, and the fact that the tunnel had never simultaneously transformed two, everything might not be like this.
Aquarius clearly didn’t intend to waste time, preparing to act directly.
At that instant, Wen Xishu sensed many threatening auras coming from all directions, all over this city.
Clearly, in this distorted city, Aquarius had quite a few puppets.
"Annoying fellow, Scorpio, get lost. I don’t mind killing you now."
Wen Xishu’s heart raced; he could feel the bottle in Aquarius’s hand seemed ready to open.
Scorpio still wore a smile.
But soon, the people in the tavern began to look strange.
As if the art style suddenly changed, specifically, it changed from realist to ukiyo-e, quickly to black and white ink style, then slowly shifted to pixel art style.
Only Aquarius and her vortex passage, and Scorpio remained unchanged.
Even Wen Xishu was shocked to discover... his hand was full of pixelation, like it had been gamified.
As those around and things turned gamified Wen Xishu even saw many people with question marks above their heads, with different colors...
Blue, green, gold.
The environment pixelated, characters became NPCs, clearly, Scorpio had opened his game realm.
"Want to fight, bad sister, if things go down here, you may not be able to kill me, after all, I’ve got helpers."
"His combat power is also quite something."
Scorpio casually pointed at Wen Xishu, who wore a bystander expression.
Indeed, Wen Xishu was now considered Scorpio’s ally.
If the two constellations really clashed, Wen Xishu would definitely help Scorpio.
Yet Wen Xishu didn’t feel he counted as remarkable combat power.
In such a level of showdown, he would be resolved in an instant.
But at the next moment, Scorpio lifted Wen Xishu’s pixelated hand.
Even though Wen Xishu himself was entirely gamified.
There was, however, one item not gamified on him: the Star Ring—also known as the Sagittarius Summoner.
"I don’t know what’s up with this ring of yours, dear brother, but it seems to block my power. Is it a summon item?"
"From my perspective, in my game item description box, it shows this ring can summon something incredible."
"It’s said it can kill Death God, truly terrifying."
Wen Xishu was startled. Even with a pixelated face obscuring the fine details of his expression, his shock was apparent.
Scorpio really had such an ability?
Also true...
In RPG games, various items always have some peculiar notes.
With Scorpio’s ability to gamify all beings, he naturally views items like game objects.
Wen Xishu gazed at Scorpio’s face, uncertain if this mischievous kid had already discerned his secret. Was he truly unaware of what the ring could summon?
But obviously, the Star Ring—the super item summoning Sagittarius while shielding Scorpio’s game realm—is the key affecting the win-lose state now.
As expected, Aquarius didn’t launch an immediate attack, but her gaze shifted to the ring.
Her expression first puzzled, then cautious.
Wen Xishu recalled carefully and found Leo never seemed to have such an expression...
Scorpio twisted his neck, hopping up with a playful expression due to his childlike body, saying:
"Do you want to fight? If not, dear sister, you should go back. I truly don’t want a life-and-death fight here, considering none of us are prepared for anyone to gain power, right?"
"If the game gets too hard, it loses its fun, I don’t enjoy designing soul games."
Aquarius remained silent for a while, and the vortex passage gradually disappeared.
As she withdrew her means, the pixelation around slowly unraveled.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
However, the anger in Aquarius’s eyes didn’t fade:
"I hate you, Scorpio, you’re truly hateful. Give him to me, name your price."
Scorpio shook his head:
"This is not for sale. I’m here today for some serious exchange with him."
Wen Xishu knew he was being referred to again.
He didn’t argue though.
Scorpio continued:
"The game’s over; let’s not rush to reopen it. Sister, we all should leave, lest we draw in someone stronger."
"The bustle of Jicheng is over the top, isn’t it?"
Aquarius narrowed her eyes, mischief surged. She feigned departure but at the moment of turning, a shadow had unknowingly slipped to Wen Xishu’s feet.
"That ring is strong, but if he can’t use it... isn’t it useless? Haha, I win!"
Scorpio was stunned, yet Wen Xishu, standing beside him, suddenly... vanished.
Jicheng’s ghost tale — Shadow of Hitter.
Characteristics, indetectable, no energy fluctuation, capable of dragging people into Hell using shadows.
It’s said in Jicheng, there’s a clumsy fellow who fetches his sister home every day.
He follows his deaf and mute sister like a shadow. Though gifted and excelling in studies, the sister inevitably faces bullying.
Therefore, as an elder brother, he always protects her quietly, awkwardly, and persistently follows behind.
