Xilin's voice became clearer and clearer. Kiana's consciousness was relaxed for just a moment, and Xilin took advantage of it. "You, what are you going to do?" "What? Of course, I'm going to kill this damned bug for embarrassing me." Kiana's consciousness became weak, and she could only watch her body being controlled by Sirin. The golden pupils of the Herrscher became brighter and brighter. "Stop! He is just an ordinary person. Even if it is revenge, he should..." "What a fool! He was kept in the dark." Sirin's voice was inexplicably filled with anger. She was angry at her previous failure and also at Kiana's naivety. "That guy is not human at all. He must be killed immediately." boom--! The wooden door instantly shattered into powder, and before Su Jue in the living room could even react, the Sub-Empty Spear had already shot towards him. He only had time to stretch out his palm, but in the next moment his entire hand was completely pierced. The warm blood splattered on the wall and also fell between Kiana's white hair. Although he avoided fatal injuries, facing a ruthless Herrscher of the Void, an ordinary person's physical strength does not allow him to dodge.
Su Jue's neck was strangled again and he was pressed directly to the ground. Xilin leaned over to suppress him, but at the moment when his neck was about to be crushed, Kiana's consciousness finally broke free from the suppression of the maze. "You can't kill him." Blue and gold intertwined, and the two souls began to fight for control of the body. "Cough cough." Su Jue had difficulty breathing as his throat was strangled. He kept coughing, staring at the girl who was pressing on him with wide eyes. The wet hair hung down, water dripped down the neck, and a small puddle accumulated at the collarbone. The full pool of water flowed again, forming a dripping stone cone. His spirit was severely shocked in an instant, and coupled with the blood loss in his palm, Su Jue felt dizzy and passed out. Chapter 5 Interlude: "Kiyana's Abduction at the Beginning" null Chapter 6: Theater of Domination Rustling, rustling. The subtle noise echoed in the dark space. There is no light, no temperature, no life, and no consciousness. boom--! The sound of the gavel hitting the table rang out, like a drop of water falling into a dark spring, causing endless ripples. Squeak—squeak— The sound of hard objects colliding, the sound of mechanisms coupling, the sound of joints twisting... Start to echo. It was like a puppet show that had been prepared for a long time and was about to begin grandly. "Silence! Silence!"
The gavel hit the table continuously, and the sound of the puppets interlocking suddenly stopped, and then fell into silence. Click. The lights in the theater were suddenly turned on, piercing through the darkness and focusing on this solemn trial ceremony. Uncertain, uneasy, fearful. A creature with a strong sense of mystery stood at the judgement seat and uttered a majestic voice. meow~ Black cats are indeed quite ominous. Especially since this black cat can talk. "Puppet [Su Jue], do you know your guilt?" Taxue tapped the table, and his four paws landed on the high judgement platform, looking down at the puppet in the defendant's seat. The puppet's eyes were covered with a pitch-black eye mask, and he remained silent. Transparent silk threads hung down from above the theater, tightly wrapping around his joints, his limbs, and every movable part of his body. "This show prepared for the Herrscher of the Void has been prepared for two whole months, but when she really fell into the trap, you failed to kill her." The white cat's claws scratched across the table, and the silk thread wrapped around the puppet [Su Jue] was pulled, and the puppet's head raised. "Selfish! Stupid! Hypocritical!" In the audience, the puppet named [Father] scolded loudly, trying to vent all his negative emotions on [Su Jue]. "Silence! [Father], shut up first. Can't you learn from [Mother]? Look at it, it's not saying a word." Taxue interrupted [Father]'s accusation and pointed at another puppet in the audience. “Aba, Aba.” [Mother] noticed the footsteps in the snow and asked it with some confusion. "We are the Herrschers, the Herrschers of a thousand people. We are born to be enemies of humans. Any unnecessary kindness will only accelerate our destruction." The black cat looked around and sighed helplessly, "What's more, there are only four of us now." "[Su Jue], you don't want to be killed by Kiana when she grows up." The puppet named [Su Jue] finally moved. He stood up from the dock and looked at the empty theater. "The seeds of rebellion have been planted. All that remains is to water them carefully. One day they will blossom and bear fruit." When [Su Jue] spoke, all the puppets remained silent. "She will be our sharp blade, tearing apart the disguise of this world for us." "The premise is that we must hide ourselves well." Following Su Jue's exaggerated movements, the silk thread broke and the wooden dolls scattered all over the ground. Above the Dominion Theater, a pair of golden eyes glowed faintly. Ugh…… After a sigh, Su Jue removed the silk threads tied to his fingers one by one, and the puppet show ended. How many months had passed since he became the Herrscher? Su Jue only remembered that on the day he became the Herrscher, a crack appeared in the sky, and countless Honkai beasts were summoned from the void by the Herrscher of the Void. In just a few hours, the whole world fell into desperate chaos. It was at that time that he truly realized what kind of existence the Herrscher was.
They are not game data that you control in the game to kill the Valkyries one by one, but real beings that can destroy the world. Although Su Jue liked to open Chapter 25 and enjoy the pleasure of killing puppets when he was depressed in his previous life, it was a completely different experience when he became a puppet. "cough--" An uncontrollable feeling of chest tightness suddenly surged into Su Jue's heart. He covered his chest and began to cough violently. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, dripped down his chin to the ground, and turned into blood-red azaleas. His coughing became more and more intense, and finally he could no longer suppress it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with black clots in it. “It’s getting worse.” He spent two months looking for ways to save himself, and finally wove this false drama of domination for Kiana, just to leave a harmless impression in Kiana's mind. Unfortunately, although the play is fake, the actors are real. There was nothing wrong with the medical record that Kiana saw. Su Jue's life was coming to an end. This is an extremely rare disease, no, it's more of a curse than a disease. Su Jue never believed in fate, but when he saw his tall and strong father become emaciated due to coughing up blood all day long, and when he accompanied his mother from a minor cold to internal organ failure and finally could no longer hear or speak, he finally bowed to fate. It was not until this nightmare took away everything from him, stripping away his health like peeling off the silk of a cocoon, that he finally heard that voice. "Welcome to the Theater of Domination!" So he became the first Ruler of the Thousand in this world. Chapter 7 Jian Yun "I really don't understand what's so good about being a Herrscher. It's hard and tiring, and I have to worry about being killed by righteous girls all the time." Taxue jumped down from the balcony with a cat-like gait. Although it was just a cat clone of Su Jue, it seemed to have an independent personality. "It's more comfortable to be a cat. You don't have to go to work or class. When you're hungry, you can find a rich person on the street to eat. When you're tired, you can run to a girl's arms and sleep late. Isn't this much easier than being a human?" Having just dealt with the blood he vomited, Su Jue smoothed the hair on his forehead. Fine beads of sweat had already covered his forehead. His physical fitness was really poor. Even with the enhancement of the power of the Herrscher, it only slowed down the continued decline of his body. If calculated based on the combat power of Su Jue's clone, Cat Treading Snow must have the most basic combat power of 1, while Su Jue's original body is probably a terrifying existence that has mastered the power of three cats. By the way, the combat capability of an ordinary person should be around five cats. "If I had a choice, I would definitely choose to be a cat person, but unfortunately my boss doesn't agree." Su Jue was a little helpless. The Herrscher of a Thousand People was originally constructed based on the darkness of human beings. If even the Herrscher of a Thousand People could be as carefree as cats, this world would be a paradise. No one would be sad, and everyone could live happily. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. Su Jue's existence itself destined him to not be a good person. He could only do things secretly. "How pitiful." Taxue stretched his waist, found a safe place and fell asleep again. The wound on his hand that was pierced by the Herrscher of the Void had almost healed. Su Jue glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that the hand had just reached the 7 position. "I almost forgot that I am still a student and I still have to go to class." Su Jue slapped his forehead and remembered what he had forgotten. It was all because the Ruler's ability was so useful that he could make a doll do his homework for him. If the current doll host only had one adult male, one adult female, and a cat, Su Jue could have found a clone of the same age as himself and sent him to school. boom--! The door was closed, and Su Jue took his schoolbag and left home. After he left, the two puppets that played the role of his parents last night began to move slowly, doing the housework. When Su Jue went out, the girl who had been waiting for a long time in the window opposite her suddenly saw something in her eyes. She quickly closed the window and ran downstairs. When she came to the exit of the corridor, she patted her skirt and eased her rapid breathing.
"Good morning, Su Jue." The cool breeze in the early morning blew the girl's hair. When Su Jue walked to the exit of the alley, he saw the girl who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. The memories in his mind quickly turned over. In the past two months, he had come to Tianqiong City in advance to plan this encounter with Kiana. However, because he had come into contact with many people, Su Jue couldn't remember who he had come into contact with. After quickly comparing the impressions in his mind, Su Jue put on a warm smile without showing it. He raised his hand and greeted, "Good morning, classmate Jian Yun." Jian Yun was a neighbor's kid. She had lived on this street long before Su Jue moved to this residential area. Now she was in the same high school as Su Jue and happened to be in the same class. Su Jue wanted to say that this was just a coincidence, but the Thousand Herrscher didn't think so. His contact was purposeful. Smiling somewhat happily, Jian Yun moved to Su Jue's side and went to school with him. The two walked side by side without communicating with each other. Finally, when they were about to arrive at the school, Jian Yun pretended to be curious and asked his question. "Last night, I seemed to see a girl with white hair. She..." "Is she your girlfriend?" "..." After a moment of silence, Su Jue began to think. He didn't expect that Kiana was actually seen by someone. The Herrscher of the Void was a hot potato. Although he was ready to contact her in advance, if her whereabouts were known by Destiny and Anti-Entropy, would Su Jue's identity as Qianlu be exposed? "Is she threatening me?" Su Jue suddenly realized this, and a sense of alarm rose in his heart. He turned his head and stared at the girl's eyes with his gray eyes. The curiosity on her face became stiff, and Jian Yun suddenly regretted asking this question. She looked at the silent Su Jue and scratched her head awkwardly, "Don't mind me, Su Jue. I just asked casually. Even if she is really your girlfriend, it doesn't matter." "..." What's with this girl's attitude? Am I overthinking? "No." To be on the safe side, Su Jue could only answer in a deep voice. "Well, I always feel that you, Su Jue, seem a little reluctant." Glancing at Jian Yun who looked somewhat puzzled, Su Jue could only slow down his voice and said again, "No." "That's good." Jian Yun seemed to realize that this was ambiguous when he was halfway through his sentence, and quickly explained: "What I mean is, it doesn't matter, I don't care." "Oh." Chapter 5 Domination Play There are quite a few educational institutions in Tianqiong City. Private schools that claim to provide elite education and various types of cram schools are everywhere in this city known as the city of science and technology, providing the best services to anyone who wants to make progress. But just as Su Jue told Kiana about his father's experience, the difference between the city center and the suburbs is far greater than imagined. For suburban residents, the high cost of private schools and cram schools are never within their consideration range. The only options are public schools that enjoy national compulsory education subsidies. The educational resources are backward and the quality of teachers is uneven. It is extremely difficult for children who grow up here to cross the dividing line. The gap between the rich and the poor almost tears the city into two completely different worlds. “It’s such a perfect city.” Su Jue commented. "This is undoubtedly the best soil for humans to breed dark emotions, and it is also the best stage for theater performances."
Snapped--! The chalk tip fell accurately on Su Jue's forehead, leaving a grayish-white mark. "What are you mumbling about in class? Stand up!"
