Chapter 1259 "Ultimate Chaos"

After a fruitless search, Kuroba Kaito stepped on the steps to leave the dungeon.

The steps are very long, dozens of them.

The end of the steps was like the exit of a long cave, shining with dazzling light like the sun.

But this does not mean that the stairs and the dungeon are dark underneath.

On the contrary, although there are no lighting objects such as torches on the wall below, it still does not affect the line of sight.

It’s not so much that it’s darker below, but it’s that it’s too bright above.

Kuroba Kaito took a slightly heavy step, his eyes fixed on the exit leading to the outside world, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

He reached the top of the steps and was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.

This is a pale room with an extremely large space.

Its hugeness is almost beyond description in words, and it exceeds all human cognition and imagination.

The ceiling and walls of the room were so far away that they almost disappeared in a thin billowing white mist.

This huge size makes this room almost indistinguishable from the vast space in the wild.

It's like putting a shining sky and earth into the room.

This shining light continues to shine.

Compared with this smooth room, even Kaitou Kidd's exclusive white shirt looks like a slightly dull gray rather than white.

Battle robe?

Kuroba Kaito was suddenly startled, and then he realized something was wrong.

He's actually wearing Kaitou Kidd's shirt now?

Just now, I was focused on opening the cell door and looking for my father. Plus, I usually wear this outfit quite a few times, so I didn't care.

Kuroba Kaito lowered his head and looked up and down his body.

White top hat, white suit, white cape... just missing the telescopic glider device and monocle.

How is this going?

Kuroba Kaito was wondering when he suddenly heard soft sobs.

Woo, woo, woo...

The sobs were not clear at first, and they couldn't even identify their direction in this huge room.

But soon, the voice became extremely real, as if the owner of the voice was very close.

Kuroba Kaito quickly looked around and suddenly found a little girl in coarse linen clothes standing twenty meters away.

The girl with her head lowered kept wiping her hands in front of her eyes. Her back was slightly arched, like a machine specially designed to produce sobs.

Woo, woo, woo...

Seeing that there were other people here, Kuroba Kaito was shocked and suddenly felt a lot of intimacy.

Out of the human habit of getting together in unknown environments, or the purpose of inquiring about information here, Kuroba Kaito's subconscious behavior was to shout in the direction of the girl.

"Hello!"

This sound seemed to frighten the girl, who just looked up at Kuroba Kaito blankly, and then ran away.

"Hello!"

"Don't run! I'm not a bad person!"

Kuroba Kaito added another sentence, but not only did it have no effect, the girl's escape speed seemed to be faster.

He had no choice but to lean forward and quickly chase the girl.

However, although the girl looks short, she runs extremely fast.

In addition, the light in this room is a bit too bright. As long as you look into the distance, you will feel that your eyes are completely white.

If I stay here for a long time, I might go blind...

As Kuroba Kaito ran, he pressed the top hat on his head hard so that the brim of the hat could create some rare darkness.

"Hello!"

"Stop!"

Kuroba Kaito shouted from behind, but the little girl seemed to have entered berserk mode and didn't listen at all, and didn't even look back.

As a last resort, he could only run with all his strength, even risking his body to hit the little girl because he couldn't stop in time.

The distance between the two parties got closer and closer, until Kuroba Kaito's forward palm grasped the little girl's shoulder, causing her to stop.

"Huhu..."

The little girl finally stopped, but Kuroba Kaito himself was out of breath.

It's not that his physical fitness is not good, but that he is not very good at such sustained movements.

But on the other hand, the little girl was looking at him blankly, as if questioning why this big brother was so weak?

"W-why are you running?"

"Brother, I'm really not a bad person..."

Kuroba Kaito asked while putting a hand on the little girl's shoulder to prevent her from running away again.

"Now let me ask you, where is this place?"

Originally, Kuroba Kaito wanted to perform a magic trick, first to make the children relax their vigilance, and then to trick the children.

But now that he has no magic props on him, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so she can only ask directly.

The little girl's skin is yellowish, with freckles on her face. Her small face is not delicate, and she has average appearance.

After reacting for a second, she replied with a dull expression: "It's the master's castle..."

"castle?"

Kuroba Kaito looked around. This place looked much bigger than the castle. This room alone was enough to accommodate a castle.

"Is this Kadasi?" he asked again.

The little girl hesitated for two seconds and nodded.

Kuroba Kaito was not surprised, he had already analyzed this in the dungeon just now.

"Then who is the 'master' you are talking about? Are they the gods of dreams?"

The little girl didn't hesitate this time and nodded quickly.

"What are you doing here? Are there other humans?"

Faced with this question, the little girl hesitated.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito quickly showed a warm smile of a sunny big brother and comforted her: "It's okay, in fact, big brother, I am just like you. I just came here today, so I am not very familiar with it..."

Although he didn't know what the operating mechanism here was, Kuroba Kaito still decided to tell a little lie.

After all, the other party is a child, and a woman, and he is so handsome, he can always fool him.

Sure enough, the little girl hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"We are slaves serving our masters..."

They?

Does that mean there are other people here?

Maybe there is his father, Kuroba Toichi among them!

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito's eyes immediately became very serious, and he put his hands on the girl's shoulders, "Then do you know a man named 'Kuroba Toichi'?"

The girl thought for a while and nodded her head lightly.

This slight movement suddenly made Kuroba Kaito's heartbeat speed up by 0.5 times.

Father... is still alive!

The father who had been "dead" for eight years was still alive!

This great joy made Kuroba Kaito forget to control his expression.

The corners of his mouth were raised with joy, and he was about to cheer.

But he quickly regained his senses and quickly grabbed the little girl's shoulders, "Quick!"

"Take me there! Go find Kuroba Toichi!"

After staring at Kuroba Kaito for a second, the little girl turned and ran to a corner of the huge room.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito hurriedly followed.

...

Kadath, the outskirts of the City of Onyx.

Qin Zhibo was running on a wide pale battlement.

Although his legs maintained the fastest permanent speed in the non-explosive state, the road ahead still did not decrease significantly.

It only took half a day to reach the top before, but now it seems like a luxury.

Fortunately, the city was dead silent, with no guards or doors that blocked the passage.

Except for some paths in the city that were designed to be somewhat anti-human, it can be regarded as well connected.

While running, a trumpet sound suddenly came from a distant place without any warning.

Qin Zhibo stopped immediately and identified the direction of the sound.

The next second, he looked up at the tower at the end of the battlement.

The trumpet sound came from the top of the tower, which was almost towering into the clouds, so the sound sounded very ethereal.

First there was a long trumpet sound, followed by three loud gongs that penetrated the world.

Qin Zhibo was forced to cover his ears by the deafening sound.

After a while, a new sound came from the top of the tower.

This was a trumpet solo full of rhythm and rhythm, and the intoxicating sound seemed to reveal all the miracles and beauty in the world.

Every note in the air was filled with passionate and slightly weird exotic customs.

In this sound, Qin Zhibo's eyes gradually blurred, and the hand covering his ears slowly loosened.

Fortunately, at the moment when he was about to let go completely, his brain instantly regained reason, and he quickly covered his ears more forcefully, which made his brain sober again.

He stared at the top of the tower, not understanding what was happening.

Was he discovered by the dream gods in Kadasi?

Only gods could explain this strange power...

He turned his head and looked around, trying to find a place to hide, but the battlements were so clean that even a cockroach could not hide.

At this moment, the thin mist on the top of the tower suddenly began to change strangely, like a huge staircase laid down from the sky.

The staircase formed by the mist exuded a colorful breath and spread downwards.

At the top of the staircase, a pair of black men with colorful silk wrapped around their waists walked out from an unclear place.

These black men were tall and burly, with muscles on their chests like knives and axes, and their heads were tied with shiny metal with belts.

They held a golden incense burner in one hand and a crystal cane in the other, and smoke with a slightly purple sheen spread out from the mouth of the burner.

These people are...

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes and saw the slightly inconspicuous golden shackles on the feet of these black people.

Could they be slaves?

These black slaves filed out from the top of the unclear tower, lined up in two columns, and walked solemnly and uniformly along the steps formed by the clouds.

And the end of the bottom of this step was less than 10 meters away from Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo wanted to escape before they came down, but it was too late.

A fragrant smell filled the air at some point, making his body unable to move, and he could only calmly wait for his next fate.

The black slaves came to the bottom of the steps slowly and soon.

They were less than 10 meters away from Qin Zhibo, and Qin Zhibo's body was still unable to move at this time.

However, they did not continue to move forward and stopped at the right time.

With the sound of a trumpet, hundreds of black slaves turned their heads to the middle at the same time, forming two welcoming columns.

But Qin Zhibo knew that they were not here to line up to welcome him.

I saw a tall and thin figure walking down with solemn steps.

The figure had the handsome face of an ancient pharaoh in his youth, wearing a colorful and gorgeous robe and a naturally shining golden double crown on his head.

His proud and elegant manners and black face seemed to possess the magic that only fallen angels or dark gods possessed.

He stood opposite Qin Zhibo, but around his eyes there were sparks of fatigue that shone with unpredictable humor.

Even when he spoke, his voice was like the soft music played by the water of the River of Oblivion, rippling in his mellow tone.

"Qin, you have come here through many obstacles, trying to meet the gods of dreams."

"But mortals are forbidden to meet them. This is the rule set by the demon king who lives deep in the ultimate void and no one dares to speak his name, and the outer gods entrenched around him."

"Even if you have overcome everything in the dream of the earth and are burning with curiosity to explore knowledge, you will still be excluded from the palace of the gods of dreams in order to abide by the rules."

"Unless you can personally go to the Ultimate Void and persuade Him to modify this rule."

"Now, I will prepare a Shatak bird for you, which will carry you across the vast galaxy to the ultimate void where no one knows."

"In front of the throne, you will once again become a bird that can speak, and speak as much as you can..."

The tall robed man waved his hand, and Qin Zhibo felt his body light.

It seemed that his body was no longer under his control, and he actually sat on the Shatak bird that appeared from nowhere.

Once again, he sat on this ugly horse-headed giant bird, but the difference was that this time, Qin Zhibo's body could not move, and he could only keep the riding posture obediently.

Even his mouth seemed to be sewn with a needle, and he could not make a sound.

Damn!

I'm going to be sent away!

Qin Zhibo stared wide-eyed, watching himself being carried by the Shantak bird and rushing straight into the sky above Kadath.

The sky was like a false curtain, with a huge hole torn by the bat wings of the Shantak bird.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo saw the inside of the curtain.

The starry sky in the universe was emitting a faint ice-blue light.

The stars seemed to dance in mockery, changing their arrangement from time to time, as if they were combining into some kind of pale sign foreshadowing destruction.

He also saw that the universe filled with ether was like a sea surface with a violent wind, whistling and stretching out amorphous tentacles.

And the giggling and screaming were like a mental patient coiling around his ears.

In the deepest part of the dancing stars and the roaring ether sea, there is a palace filled with the ultimate darkness outside the universe.

Invisible flutists and drummers play in disorder around the palace.

And in the center of the palace, the demon king named "Ultimate Chaos" is sitting on the throne.
