Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Figures who were even dressed exactly the same were intertwined with each other. Scarlet Blood Diamond's Western sword pierced the chest of another Scarlet Blood Diamond, and the latter's offensive against Mu Luo ended.

Only the extremely shocked Twilight was left, holding up the big shield in his hand and not knowing how to react.

"Don't worry, I am following my own will now."

Scarlet Blood Diamond, who was supposed to be silent, spoke up. Only then did Mu Luo realize that Blood Diamond's face was not covered with that strange mask. In other words, at this moment, Scarlet Blood Diamond was no longer the beloved disciple of the troupe leader. Not the shadow in the nightmare. He is a puppet, a senior special operator on Rhode Island, his best friend and brother.

Mu Luo took a deep breath

"Can Shen Yuan feel the beauty?"

This question has an answer, and it has an answer shared by two people. If the other party can answer it, it proves that he is really acting according to his own will as he said.

"Shen Yuan is no longer a hunter, he would rather follow the will of the wilderness."

Twilight Luo breathed a sigh of relief. The shadow that attacked from behind the blood diamond pulled out the Western sword inserted in the target's heart, and let the target fall softly to the ground - blood splattered everywhere. But not a single drop fell, because the blood flower had been fixed on his target's chest since it bloomed.

"You... are also a puppet."

As the puppet's emotionless voice sounded, the disguise of the scarlet blood diamond slowly disappeared.

The red western clothes covering his body disappeared with the wind, leaving only the exquisitely crafted dummy on the ground.

Mu Luo's face changed slightly.

"This is……"

"Whether it was the troupe leader's handwriting or the announcer's handwriting... it actually didn't matter, because the troupe leader herself was just a puppet in that person's hands... and she didn't even know it."

Puppet's voice is still cold, and he doesn't seem to be happy about meeting his friends and colleagues from Rhode Island.

"……Speaking of which, why did you think of coming back here?! Mu

Luo, who had realized what was happening, shouted loudly:"Do you know how much effort Rhode Island... and I have put in to come here to find you!" How much energy is consumed! Even now, some operators still don’t know whether they are alive or dead.——"

"——I know."

The decisive words made Mu Luo's continued rebuke choke in his throat, and the eyes he looked at the puppet became gentler. But before Mu Luo could continue to speak, the puppet turned in a direction and faced the doctor lowered his head

"……I will repay Rhode Island's... generosity. But now, I also got important information from a certain adventure."

(Adventure?)

Mu Luo's eyes flashed, as if he remembered the stunning beauty Sakaz whom he met before, and his eyes looked at the puppet with a hint of inquiry.

Unfortunately, Mu Luo's eyes did not Captured by the puppet, the puppet looked at the strange hooded man in front of him, as if waiting for his decision.

The doctor nodded slowly.

He also wanted to know what the so-called"adventure" was.

After all, in My group, who have been wandering around this castle for such a long time, have actually encountered quite a few adventures... I just don’t know if these adventures have anything to do with the one mentioned by the puppet.

"good."

After receiving the doctor's approval, the puppet immediately turned its head not towards the doctor, but towards D who was standing aside.-TALON

"Dragon...Mr. Zhan, right? I'm sorry, my words are not very good."

"It doesn't matter, is this first message for me?"

"……Um."

Puppet's voice was very soft, but the next words made everyone present widen their eyes.

"……That person only asked me to convey one sentence. He said that if it was really Mr. Long Zhan, he would definitely know who 'he' was and the meaning of his words.——"

After a pause, the puppet glanced at D-TALON, and then used a very special accent to imitate a person's voice.

"Ah Dao, I haven't moved my muscles for so long. Are you interested... Come and play with me killing gods?"

————Dividing line————

The Scarlet Troupe is not dead yet.

Even if the troupe leader disappears and the announcer is disabled, the Scarlet Theater Company is still the Scarlet Theater Company.

Because those on the stage are actors, and those off the stage are also actors. Those on the stage are chess pieces, and those off the stage are also chess pieces.

It happens tonight, it happens every night.

The gorgeous singing and dancing ravaged the body and nerves until they all turned into puppets of his follower Shen Yuan. The puppet's life is to bloom on the stage and complete an endless performance of interpreting himself and others.

The person operating the stage overlooks the stage.

He guarantees the safety of this stage, this troupe, and this castle, because art never stops. He is the only one who is the eternal audience and the eternal director.

Please come on stage, actor.

The time has come to devote yourself to art.

He wanted to say that, but not now.

Because at some point, the stage had been torn apart, the actors had been cut into pieces, the announcer's fragmentary words were scattered all over the floor, and the threads controlling the actors had also been torn into pieces.

Ah, ah, ah!

Curse you, the soul-eating wolf, the incarnation of Nightwing, the will of the sky, the miracle of gold!

But he won't give in.

Fight to the end, even if you die, you still have no regrets.

Because he is also an abyss.

He will pursue beauty at all costs.
