#406 - Chapter 406 Witness of Fate
“What?”
“That's right, Master Silas, two hours before you arrived in Eternal Night City, his mechanical heart had stopped beating forever.”
Hearing Carlos say this, Wu Wei's face also changed.
How could this be such a coincidence?
Master Silas, as a vampire, had a lifespan long enough to outlive dozens of generations of humans, and his body had also undergone mechanical modification.
Why would he die so coincidentally?
“Uh....”
Seeming to notice the strange expression on Wu Wei's face, Carlos immediately said.
“But Mr. Wu Wei, please rest assured.”
“Our Eternal Night City has more than just Silas as a master!”
“Whether you are preparing to appraise something from Master Silas, or sell something, I can find the most suitable replacement for you!”
“No...”
Wu Wei shook his head.
“I came to Silas not just to appraise things.”
“I came to him to ask him some questions.”
“Really just to ask some questions?”
“Really.”
“Oh, so that's how it is!”
Suddenly, Carlos breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then this matter is easy to solve!”
“Uh....”
Wu Wei gave him a puzzled look.
“What do you mean?”
“It's nothing, if it's just asking him some questions, then I can completely help you solve this problem.”
Wu Wei was even more puzzled.
“But Master Silas is dead, isn't he?”
“Yes.”
Carlos shrugged his shoulders.
“He is dead, but his head is still there, and more importantly, his soul has not dissipated.”
“So, if you want to ask him questions, then I can arrange it a little later.”
Carlos looked at Wu Wei's puzzled eyes, seeming to understand something.
This handsome vampire smiled and said to Wu Wei.
“Later, a professional soul mage will come to Master Silas's side to extract his sealed soul. Then, you can ask him any questions you have.”
“Although the process of asking and answering will cause Master Silas's soul to feel a little bit of pain, but rest assured, with the blessing of our vampire's high technology, all your questions will be perfectly answered.”
“This...”
For a moment, Wu Wei felt that the handsome vampire sitting in front of him was not a vampire at all.
He was a monster even more demonic than a demon!
“Sorry, I almost forgot to say.”
“Mr. Wu Wei, since you left last time, I have already bought Master Silas, as well as Master Silas's shop.”
“Because under the weaving of fate, the once poor and downcast me...”
Carlos smiled very happily.
“Now I am a very, very, very rich vampire!”
“And my wealth is still growing every moment.”
“As long as I want, I can have most of Eternal Night City at any time!”
Damn rich people....
Wu Wei turned his head and looked out the window.
Why didn't the Abyss give him this ability!
——————————————
“We're here, Mr. Wu Wei!”
In front of Master Silas's long-separated office, Carlos's driver parked the car.
And Carlos Yang even more diligently helped Wu Wei open the car door.
Seeing that his boss's boss was so diligent, all the staff in the appraisal center looked at Wu Wei with flattery.
Even the Naga lady who was quite charming and had a brief encounter with Wu Wei, her eyes lit up after seeing this scene.
However, all her thoughts were inappropriate at this moment.
Because Carlos personally took Wu Wei towards the place where Master Silas's remains were preserved.
Although according to the rules of Eternal Night City, after the death of “important figures” like Master Silas, they should be taken away by the Eternal Night City Council.
This is done to prevent certain secrets held by Master Silas from being known to outsiders.
After all, there are not a few human lords and enemies of Eternal Night City who possess soul abilities.
But considering that Carlos himself is an important member of the council, no one cared about this kind of trivial matter.
————————————
Wu Wei and Carlos arrived at Master Silas's mortuary area.
Wu Wei also saw Master Silas, who had been dead for at least two hours.
However, it was somewhat different from what Wu Wei had expected.
At this time, Master Silas's body had been cut and completely preserved in the designated area.
His head and body were separated.
And next to his head was a device that could preserve his soul.
A blurry existence was constantly rising and falling in this device.
It seemed that this was Master Silas's soul.
However, Wu Wei guessed that, judging from Master Silas's current appearance, all of this was probably the master's own work.
Although this master could not achieve true immortality with his weak strength and bloodline.
But he still used these special methods to greatly extend his life.
After seeing Master Silas's remains, Wu Wei also expressed his relief.
Next, as long as the soul mage came here and extracted Silas's remaining soul, he could get the answer he wanted.
But before that....
“Cough cough, Mr. Wu Wei.”
“I have already asked my men to find a suitable soul mage, but they will need at least thirty minutes to get here.”
“So....”
“Would you like to take a rest?”
Seeing that Carlos was still so diligent, Wu Wei shook his head.
He glanced at the vampire in front of him and said very calmly.
“No need, Carlos.”
“While we have this time, you can tell me.”
“What exactly do you want to talk to me about.”
“And more importantly, what does the evil god named the Weaver of Fate behind you want to do!”
“You said before that you wanted to be loyal to me.”
“But before I understand your details, I will never accept your loyalty.”
“The reason is actually very simple”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Carlos smiled.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“First of all, Mr. Wu Wei, I need to state!”
“The great existence I serve is not strictly speaking an evil god!”
“According to what the great knowledge describes, he should be called the god of the past, or the fallen deity, or... the old god!”
“But if according to your way of understanding, the great Weaver of Fate does indeed belong to the category of evil gods!”
Wu Wei frowned.
“So that's how it is?”
“I understand, continue.”
Damn, if I had known it would be like this, I would have called the fallen angel Liz over.
Without this scumbag angel here, it is indeed difficult for Wu Wei to understand what Carlos is saying.
Old days?
Past?
Fallen?
No, Wu Wei can understand falling.
But the above two names, after being linked to God, Wu Wei is not so clear.
But fortunately, Carlos did not guess what Wu Wei was thinking in his heart.
He continued to say.
“The great Weaver of Fate asked me to find you, to be loyal to you, the reason is actually not so difficult to guess.”
“The great He needs to find you, as well as the terrifying low-dimensional spiral world behind you, and then become one of them!”
“As for why he wants to do this, it is because He is gradually weakening.”
“To explain it in God's terms, the great He is dying!”
“He urgently needs to swear allegiance to you, join the great world behind you, and exchange it for a chance to survive!”
God...
Can also die?
This was the first thought that appeared in Wu Wei's heart.
Or is it that only evil gods will die?
“He wants to join the great will that I serve?”
Wu Wei frowned and said to Carlos.
“But, I still have one question I don't understand.”
“How exactly does the Weaver of Fate know the true state of that great will?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Carlos smiled.
“The answer is simple, Mr. Wu Wei....”
“The great Weaver of Fate is a witness to a series of events back then!”
“He personally saw the existence named Abyss descend into this world as a true god!”
“That's right.”
“Abyss is its name.”
“And the endless abyss is a foreign object!”
