Chapter 128: The Conspiracy of Mr. K
Chapter 128: The Conspiracy of Mr. K
The young man looked at Alexander, especially the chocolate being tossed up and down in his hand, remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Since you’ve come to ask me, let’s hear it, what do you know?"
What do I know?
Alexander doesn’t know anything at all!
Alexander was almost stunned on the spot, but luckily he reacted quickly and promptly concealed his expression.
It seems that this is a big figure, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said something like "you’ve come to ask me."
Clearly, among the group of ghost motorcycles on this small mountain, not many people know about this, and it is very likely that only the young man in front of him knows.
At this time, Alexander would naturally not be foolish enough to tell the truth. He drew a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth and said lightly, "I know a lot more than you think, but first, you need to tell me everything you know, including the location of the Angel’s fuel tank."
As soon as Alexander said this, the young man immediately hesitated, seemingly weighing his gains and losses.
"Are you...worried about Mr. K? You can rest assured that I don’t take him seriously!"
Alexander didn’t plan to get nothing without revealing any information, so he directly used his trump card.
Sure enough, as soon as the name Mr. K was mentioned, the young man’s face changed drastically. He glanced around subconsciously, and when he saw no one paying attention to them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Alexander with a hint of doubt: "Just because of you? Your tone is too big. Not to mention you, even ghost generals, or even stronger entities, wouldn’t dare to meddle in this matter. On what grounds?"
Clearly, the young man firmly believed that Alexander was not deceiving him, but questioned Alexander’s strength.
Alexander unconsciously looked towards the building at the top of the mountain, where the man in black should be.
However, the fluctuations of the man in black’s ghost energy were far less than those of Su Rong. At most, he was just a ghost general. Even adding the ghost master at the top of the mountain, he didn’t seem too formidable.
If these strengths alone claim that ghost generals or entities above ghost generals wouldn’t dare to intervene, it’s hard to convince people.
Unless, the man in black is not the real Mr. K.
Just a ghost general level of strength, why does it look so complicated?
Alexander felt puzzled, but his reaction didn’t hesitate at all. He flipped his palm, and a blood-red invitation appeared in his hand.
"You recognize this, don’t you?"
Holding the invitation in his hand, Alexander asked lightly.
"City Lord’s Mansion, you are actually sent by the City Lord’s Mansion!" The young man’s face showed shock, and he exclaimed as if he had an epiphany: "Has the City Lord’s Mansion finally noticed this place?"
Noticed this place?
The problem seems to be getting more serious!
The young man’s reaction clearly suggested there was some major conspiracy going on here that was significant enough to attract the attention of the City Lord’s Mansion. As a simple "chosen", was it really appropriate for Alexander to get involved?
Alexander hesitated for a moment but decided to continue with the questioning. After all, Louis was the son of the city lord and was the first ghost he had met in this horrifying world.
Despite having only met twice so far, Louis had saved his life more than once. Now, Alexander naturally couldn’t allow this plot against the city lord’s mansion to continue.
Not to mention, Louis was his biggest backer at this point. If something happened to the city lord’s mansion, it would undoubtedly affect the ghost Association, and the domino effect caused would be more than Alexander could handle.
"Now that you know who I am, you have two choices!" Alexander said, "Either you tell me everything you know, and this chocolate is your reward, or..."
As he spoke, the other hand shimmered with light, a menacing chainsaw appeared, "I tear you apart, then find the clues myself!"
Was there any choice to be made? The young man wished he could turn back time and avoid saying too much! Curiosity really did kill the ghost, didn’t it?
If Alexander hadn’t mentioned his connection with the city lord’s mansion, the young man might have dared to challenge him. But since Alexander had pulled out an invitation from the city lord’s mansion, who knew what other cards he had up his sleeve.
"In fact, I don’t know much," the young man decisively chose the chocolate, "I just happened to overhear some things."
He said, "We ghosts were originally motorcycle enthusiasts who died here and merged with our bikes. We spent our days racing on these tracks until one day, the only person who hadn’t merged, the president Simba, somehow convinced the lord ghost to set up a huge motorcycle factory here and open it to the outside world."
"For us, the motorcycles are everything. The rules set by the president are a bit cruel, but it didn’t affect us much. The bikes sold are products of the motorcycle factory. On the contrary, we can experience more thrilling races in the third phase, so no one objected."
"But a few months ago, Angel came to me, saying he had discovered a plot by the president. He had overheard a conversation between him and someone called Mr. K. They seemed to be providing funding for Mr. K., who is from a ghost town called the Endless Abyss."
When the young man reached this point, a message suddenly popped up in Alexander’s mind.
"Congratulations, Chosen One Alexander. You’ve triggered a special hidden mission, ’The Conspiracy of Mr. K.’ This mission is not limited to a single instance. Investigate the plot of Mr. K., gather concrete evidence, and report to the city lord’s mansion to trigger the main storyline of the horror world—Ghost City Rivalry! Do you accept this mission?"
This prompt from the horror instance left Alexander in shock.
A hidden task and the main storyline of the horror instance?
In the ten years since the horror instance had emerged, countless chosen ones had struggled to survive within it. None of them had ever even heard of a main storyline, let alone triggering it.
Even the strongest of the chosen ones could not guarantee a 100% completion rate in the horror instance. Even they faced the risk of death if they happened to come across a particularly challenging instance.
Yet, Alexander had just received a prompt for a main story task!
Initially planning to make a quick buck and leave, Alexander started to hesitate. He could easily ignore everything else, find the fuel tank of the Angel, complete the hidden task, and then leave.
Whatever happened with Mr. K. or any plot could be disregarded!
However, accepting this task now would surely expose him to unprecedented dangers. But it also represented an unparalleled opportunity!
After all, this was the main storyline of the horror instance, involving the rivalry between the ghost cities.
