Chapter 1313: The Path Of Apocalypse (36)

Little Five cried while Ming Shu scratched her head in frustration.

I’m not a prison ward!

Why must I clean up the mess this pagoda made!

Ming Shu stood on the stairs between level five and level four. It was not so messy here.

She held Qi Yu’s hand and walked out.

“Why is it so noisy here? Are you all having a meeting?”

Her voice was not loud but it floated over the noise and entered everyone’s ears.

The place turned quiet. Everyone looked at her.

“Ahhhhh—”

A man who was pinning another man down and hitting him suddenly screamed and rushed toward an empty array.

After that, the rest of the people started charging toward the nearest arrays. All kinds of weird conversations could be heard.

“It’s that devil, Ming Shu!”

“Ah! This is my jail! Get out!”

“The devil is coming to eat us!”

“Help—”

“What the f**k!”

Someone bumped into an array. The Apocalypse Pagoda was having a problem so the arrays appeared and disappeared intermittently. Hence, this person was unable to get in.

He hurriedly squeezed into another array with other people.

Some people didn’t know what was happening, but they followed the crowd and returned to their arrays.

Qi Yu: “…”

So there were some people that knew her.

However, he was not happy at all.

The people locked up here were all villains, right?

Ming Shu walked forward. She walked past a row of arrays. “What were you all doing?”

“Haha… hahaha…” Someone laughed awkwardly. “We were having a friendly match…”

Ming Shu scolded them, “The pagoda is open. Why are you all fighting with each other when you can leave?”

Everyone: “…”

They were settling their personal grudges first.

The fifth floor was filled with arrays so everyone could see one another. If you talked about the grudges between them, they could go on for a few days.

“Yes, yes, yes. Devil… Your Highness, you are right.”

Most people knew that this was not their original world.

They felt frustrated over being locked up.

They wanted to leave too, but the relationships between the people here were bad.

Also, no one wanted to be the first.

Hence, they chose to have a battle here to vent their anger.

Since she suppressed them, Ming Shu wanted to leave.

When she walked past, the people in the arrays leaned as far away as possible.

Ming Shu suddenly turned. “Oh right. There are many people outside waiting to kill you all. If you want to be killed, hurry up and go.”

Everyone: “…”

Is this a reminder or a threat?

Little Five was grateful to Ming Shu. Since she showed her face, these people would remain obedient for the time being.

It hoped that the Apocalypse Pagoda could repair itself soon.

“Who is she?”

After Ming Shu left, someone asked this.

“Why are you all afraid of her?”

“Is she the manager of the pagoda?”

The people who knew Ming Shu’s identity looked tired.

“She is someone you never want to offend.”

“That year…”

“Why must I tell you, you psychopath!”

The man beside him shouted, “I told you that it was a coincidence that I was not wearing my pants when I came in!”

“Really?”

“Say that again!”

“You are a psychopath! A psychopath!”

The two people argued with each other from their arrays.

This was their only entertainment.

…

Little Five brought Ming Shu to the other levels that were in a mess.

Like what it said, level five was the messiest. The rest were still fine.

Qi Yu realized that as the levels got higher, more people recognized her.

Also, the people at the higher levels were all locked up individually just like the ones on the seventh floor.

The floors above the seventh floor were normal. There was no malfunction.

Qi Yu was deciding if Ming Shu was the manager of this place or if she was once locked up here.

Little Five was afraid of her. Also, it invited her back when something happened to the pagoda. This made her seem like the manager.

However, from the reaction of the people here, it appeared that she had been locked up before.

It was the first option, he felt fine.

If it was the second one…

He would probably feel worried about her.

They went back to the empty main hall with Little Five.

There were six huge mice that looked exactly like Little Five in the main hall.

The mice greeted Ming Shu simultaneously: “Little ancestor.”

Ming Shu’s mouth twitched. “Don’t call me little ancestor. I don’t have relatives like you.”

“Okay, little ancestor,” they replied together.

Ming Shu: “…”

“Have a seat, little ancestor.”

The mice took out a chair made of pure gold.

However, there was only one chair.

Ming Shu asked Qi Yu to sit. She stood in front of the wall. “You all haven’t received any orders?”

“No.”

“You all are dead.”

The mice: “…”

Qi Yu replied, “Wife, don’t you feel that the Apocalypse Pagoda seems to be hacked?”

Just like the Time Control Department.

The department was hacked so they lost control of their system.

Ming Shu replied, “You are quite smart.”

Qi Yu: “…”

I’ve always been smart. I’m a genius!

“You… you guessed it already?”

“No. You reminded me.” Ming Shu complimented him insincerely, “You’re amazing.”

Qi Yu: “…”

Can you be more serious! At least control your expression!

Ming Shu turned. She sat on the chair’s armrest. “Did the Spirit Water appear?”

One of the mice replied, “Yes. We didn’t realize it before but after some calculations, we realized that it will appear within a few days.”

Qi Yu frowned. What does she mean?

The Spirit Water from the Battle at Spirit Water?

Ming Shu felt Qi Yu’s questioning look so she said slowly, “When the Spirit Water appears, the Apocalypse Pagoda will… you can understand it as its dormant period.”

The Apocalypse Pagoda had its weakness too.

Whether you could make use of this weakness depended on your ability.

Ming Shu touched her chin. She acted like a detective. “If he chose this timing, he must have done many preparations.”

If this was the Xi Heng who had went through the Battle at Spirit Water…

The time between each dormant period of the Apocalypse Pagoda was long.

Last time, it happened during the Battle at Spirit Water when the continent split in three.

When the Apocalypse Pagoda entered its dormant period, its defense would turn weak. If someone attacked the Apocalypse Pagoda at this time, the ten mice were the only defendants.

Qi Yu asked, “What on earth is the Battle at Spirit Water?”

Ming Shu looked at him.

“I told you that from the moment the Thousand Mirror World was formed, the Apocalypse Pagoda was present.”

Qi Yu nodded.

Ming Shu continued, “The Apocalypse Pagoda will be activated occasionally. There are all kinds of ways to enter the pagoda. People from different families and clans would send people to challenge the pagoda. Those that succeeded were able to increase their power.

“Their challenges are the people that are locked up in here. If they succeeded, the Apocalypse Pagoda would reward them and their power would increase. If they failed… they would be killed.”
