Chapter 887: Is It Just You, Human Sea Great Wall
"Hmm?"
Lu Ce kept feeling that something was off. Was this section of the Great Wall open to the public? Why were there already so many people at this hour?
What’s more, some were pushing carts. Getting those things up here would be difficult.
Many people held phones, staring toward the horizon where the Sun would soon rise.
It looked like everyone was ready to take photos and check in, recording the moment of sunrise.
Although it was still dark and no one could clearly see each other, Lu Ce was wearing a mask this time.
Most people wouldn’t notice him, and if he bumped into someone, after a moment of surprise and slight fear, they would quickly step aside.
Lu Ce knew very well that with this face, no one in the world would fail to recognize him. He also knew that ordinary people shouldn’t have that expression when they recognized him.
More importantly, at this point in time, the surrender faction was about to rise, Dragon Group seemed to be plotting something, and the world should be extremely repressed, as if a storm was coming.
At a time like this, so many people wanted to come to the Great Wall to watch the sunrise?Would a scenic area even open at a time like this?!
On his mask, seven colors of light flowed continuously, standing out in the pitch-black night.
"The psychological resilience of our people is pretty impressive."
Muttering to himself, Lu Ce didn’t stop. He continued walking, sightseeing along the Great Wall.
His steps looked ordinary, but in reality he could cover dozens of normal strides with each step, appearing to blink across the wall.
After walking so far and nearing dawn, Lu Ce slowed his pace, staring at the distant horizon as if waiting for the sunrise.
There were people everywhere on the Great Wall!
"It's so dark, everyone's come to watch the sunrise. I'm kind of surprised too."
Hands clasped behind his back, looking into the distance, Lu Ce suddenly spoke, and Black Knight thought he was being addressed.
But immediately after, another voice came from behind Lu Ce.
"The darkness before dawn is always the blackest. But your eyes shouldn't be that blind."
—Shui Zhongmeng!
His androgynous silhouette and face had already appeared behind Lu Ce.
Sunken eye sockets and a fixed stare, in this darkness they looked like something out of a horror film. This was the effect of Hatred's power on him.
Lu Ce turned and glanced at him, then paused for a moment.
"Oh, it's you. I was wondering who it was. Vaguely familiar."
"How did you find me?"
"The skill of divine power. Harbor hatred and you will find the direction your revenge should take," Shui Zhongmeng said without hiding anything.
He sounded a bit breathless. Apparently, finding Sin on this ten-thousand-li Great Wall was a first trial for him.
Completing this trial also increased his power, just like how Xie Antong gained strength after completing her rituals.
"Thanks. The feeling of power is indeed wonderful." Shui Zhongmeng said, black energy radiating from his eyes, his expression beginning to twist.
Even a small amount of Hatred's power was warping his spirit.
Seeing him like that made Lu Ce want to laugh; the light on his mask instantly formed a wide grin.
"How strange. You people, once you get divine power and your spirit starts to warp, the first thing you want to do is come pick a fight with me."
Shui Zhongmeng stayed silent. He actually wanted to say that because Lu Ce had walked in front, serving as a blueprint for all players, he was in a sense the one who made these crazed players realize they could still be human.
But when facing someone who was an obvious enemy, flattery wasn't necessary.
Suddenly the sky brightened; a wash of light cleansed the heavens, and the Sun rose on the distant horizon.
Wow~
The crowd burst into genuine cheers, recording this beautiful moment, seemingly oblivious to the two tense, murderous men.
"The Sun has come up," Lu Ce said.
"The Sun was already extinguished, wasn't it?" Shui Zhongmeng replied blandly, "Erased by your own hand."
After saying this, his aura reached its peak and he cupped his fist toward Lu Ce.
"Sorry, I don't really have a proper reason to start a fight, but I think you can understand."
Lu Ce nodded, having no objections, and asked directly:
"Which god's power did you receive?"
"Hatred!"
"Oh, never heard of it, but the name fits."
Lu Ce, hearing that, understood roughly that this was another way the opponent had increased his strength.
He didn’t rush to reveal any medal. Instead, the lights on his mask shifted and grew more sinister.
"Still, since you came looking for me, you should know you'll die here."
"Coming alone? Isn't that a bit suicidal..."
Shui Zhongmeng's brows lowered slightly and he said calmly:
"If you don't have the will to die, how dare you stand before the Strongest Player?"
The smiling mask on Lu Ce’s face turned playful. He only replied to one of the two lines. What did that mean?
After a long silence, Lu Ce stopped wasting words. Looking at the rising Sun in the distance, he suddenly shouted in a loud voice:
"I ask, the world belongs to—?"
His voice covered the land, reaching each person's ear with precision.
Previously, when the Sun rose, the crowd on the Great Wall had been taking photos, posing, chatting, and vendors selling drinks and snacks were busy.
The noise across the Great Wall was intense, like an open-air green train station.
Yet at Lu Ce's shout, all that clamor vanished, replaced by a thunderous, unified cry that completed his sentence.
—"Heaven and Earth Society!!!"
Hearing this thunderous shout, surprise flashed in Lu Ce's eyes, and even the twisted-faced Shui Zhongmeng couldn't help but grin bitterly.
He hadn’t expected this; he had already tried to dissuade them.
He looked at Sin and said:
"Hmm, I guess you saw through it already."
"Today on this Great Wall, I suppose you're the only one who isn't part of the Heaven and Earth Society!"
