Chen Lun stood in the middle of the musical instrument store with an expressionless face.
On the surrounding shelves and walls, there are orchestral instruments such as violins and recorders of different sizes, and even some niche instruments. Some guests stopped to look at it, and some guests came and went, but they seemed not to see the two people, nor to hear the beautiful music played by the blond man.
[Spiritual Intuition] seemed to have failed, and there was no movement. Even though Chen Lun could clearly feel the unprecedented pressure that Howard had brought to him at this moment, this powerful passive force that had been helping him warn him was like a pool of stagnant water, calm and calm.
This made Chen Lun feel more solemn in his heart.
As the crisp notes of the piano gradually became lighter, Howard's body swayed slightly, like a pianist immersed in the performance.
"Struggle, joy, repetition, until the great victory... Jack, your script is like the four chapters of this piece of music. It is coming to an end. I think it is time to give you an ending."
Howard said without looking back.
Chen Lun stared at his back. The veins on the back of his hand holding the silver cane were exposed, and he resisted the urge to unfold the mythical creature form and step forward to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Since I embarked on the path of my destiny, behind the many coincidences, it was the blond man in front of me who was behind the scenes, fueling and guiding me, and ultimately had a great impact on myself and the people around me... The death of Mr. Byers, the exile of Arnold, Noah's narrow escape and all the uneasiness he has experienced since traveling through time.
All of this was facilitated by Howard!
He knew that he would eventually fight the opponent, but he didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly...
Perhaps his promotion aroused his vigilance, or perhaps the other party's plan was coming to an end... In short, this moment came quietly.
Chen Lun's uncontrollable killing intent poured out.
His eyes instantly turned into a pair of emerald-like vertical pupils, and several crystal-like white scales appeared at the corners of his eyes. All the musical instruments inside the store were clanging and trembling at the same time, and the walls and ceilings were cracked with countless cracks. The customers were so frightened by this inexplicable strange phenomenon that they ran out in panic, shouting.
"Don't worry, Jack, I know you hate me, but there's still some time for your final performance...please allow me to say something."
Howard kept playing with both hands, and "Symphony of Destiny" came to the final chapter. The passionate melody seemed to herald the end of the struggle and the sweet victory.
But at this critical moment, He deliberately pressed a wrong note, and with a bang, the perfect playing was broken, and it was like a terminator, forcibly ending the song.
The blond man turned around slowly.
On the deep facial features, there is a pair of sapphire eyes with a smile.
He then took out another book.
The book cover reads "King of Clowns".
"This is a script about you, Jack, but I didn't write your ending... I never like to see the endings of other works, because when I was young, I always felt lost and empty after seeing the ending. The extremely strong feeling of detachment... I think it’s because I was too involved and resonated with those characters, so I felt sad, happy, and painful for them. Once the ending is over, all the stories will turn into dust.”
Howard shook his head wistfully.
"To be honest, I don't like this feeling... As time goes by, I no longer look at the ending of the story. At most, I only imagine a beautiful future in my mind, where those characters live forever and everyone is happy forever."
He stared at Chen Lun with a smile, as if he couldn't see the murderous look in the latter's eyes, and just said to himself:
"You are one of my favorite characters. If I could, I wouldn't want to write your ending...but I have more important things to accomplish, and I need you to fill this final vacancy."
"It looks like what I expected."
Chen Lun said coldly.
"You have been hiding for decades or hundreds of years, and everything you have planned and planned is just for this moment, for the angel promotion ceremony... So I am also a part of your ceremony?"
"Well, you could say that."
Howard didn't hide it and nodded calmly.
"But this is the royal city, and you show up here openly. Aren't you afraid that Emperor Andre will suppress you?"
Chen Lun asked indifferently.
Howard chuckled and shook his head, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said calmly:
"Sun King? He is indeed a great monarch who has dominated the Fifth Era for more than 4,000 years... But now He cannot protect himself, and it is almost impossible to take action. The oracle of the father is like a sharp sword hanging in the sky. The top of His head will fall at any time.”
He spread his hands and smiled.
"This time's script also well confirms this point... I followed Huan Gong's actions back then and promoted the internal friction of the 'Three Starry Sky Families', the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. After the Fourth Era, I once again completed the 'Time of Pearls' A great moment like this formed a new cycle of destiny, thereby advancing the promotion ceremony of [Sequence Two-Anonymous] by more than half... The Sun King clearly saw this, but did not personally stop it, and just erased the existence of the little prince. The traces are used to reduce the effect of the ritual, which shows that He is indeed restrained and unable to use too much power."
Howard slowly explained to Chen Lun, his tone was like sharing an interesting story with a friend.
"It's a pity that I was prepared...the ceremony went on as expected."
After hearing this, Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to Howard's words, he thought of the "Time of Pearls", which was the great deeds recorded on the Monument of Destiny... The Lord of Destiny once hid behind the scenes in the Fourth Era, pushing the God of Death Bancroft to the forefront, and used His power of killing and chaos disintegrated the Starry Sky Cult from the inside, causing the Yanita civilization to split into three major families, which corresponded to the three families of the Sun, Moon and Star.
What he didn't expect was that everything Howard did was imitating Duke Huan... Or could it be that the promotion ceremony of Destiny Sequence 2 was to complete some kind of epic destiny cycle?
'But who plays the role of the old man burying the bones in this fight? '
The doubts in Chen Lun's heart flashed away.
The next moment, the answer quietly emerged——
'It's the Council of Generosity... In the Church of the Seven Gods, the key camp choice is the difference between myself and Houston, which also becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back... At the same time, the Council of Generosity takes the conspiracy route, which happens to be Symbolizes death. '
Chen Lun took a deep breath and seemed to feel the meticulousness and horror of all this layout. Howard was the most unscrupulous, even crazy guy he had ever seen.
Howard slowly stood up from the chair and continued:
"Now, the only thing missing from the ceremony is you, Jack... The promotion of an angel requires the only divinity of path authority, and the bookmark in your hand just corresponds to a copy of the divinity of the destiny path. Although it is incomplete, it is enough to support it. I get promoted.”
His expectant eyes were revealed from under the lenses.
"Are you confused as to why it is in your hand? Haha, because it was what I placed in you... Although its importance to me is unparalleled, according to the 'Extraordinary Fusion Law', if it remains Around me, there will be a huge and uncontrollable influence, which will bring me endless trouble before all this is formed, and even affect the smooth progress of the plan... But now, it is time to take it back .”
Chen Lun's pupils shrank sharply and he took a step back unconsciously.
Was he arranged and designed by Howard from the beginning? !
At the beginning of the time travel, the reason why I was able to obtain "Philip in Wonderland" was because of his guidance? !
'No... something's wrong, there are too many things that don't make sense! '
Chen Lun's mind was in chaos.
He quickly used [Multi-tasking], and with the support of the mythical creature's characteristic "Skull of Enlightenment", his mind was running rapidly, thinking about the blind spots that he had not noticed.
But more and more threads are getting entangled invisibly, forming knots that are difficult to untie. Chen Lun himself didn't realize that his fingers were trembling slightly due to his emotional fluctuations.
"Destiny is always like this. It is already destined, but it also gives people a sense of magnificent ups and downs. It is not just playing around, but it is better than playing..."
Howard turned his head and looked to the side, his sight seemed to be through the wall of the store, looking at the golden Palace of the Sun.
He said calmly:
"Jack, I will wait for you deep in the dream world. I believe you will come...because I don't have much time, and you don't have much time either."
The voice has not yet fallen.
Howard's figure disappeared without a trace.
Chen Lun still stood there, holding the silver cane tightly, not even paying attention to controlling the force. The part stuck on the ground directly penetrated the ceramic floor, cracking lines.
He felt that strong pollution was spreading from his body, and those bright white crystal scales emerged one after another.
'Am I losing control? ! '
Chen Lun's heart tightened and he quickly controlled his emotions.
The mythical power gained after the transformation was extremely powerful, but it was also accompanied by terrible pollution. For the first time, Chen Lun felt that his body and spirituality were like a nuclear bomb about to explode, which brought him strong uneasiness.
After a while.
He let out a long breath, and the emerald vertical pupils in his eyes returned to normal. The murderous intention gradually dissipated, returning to depth and silence.
The white crystal scales emerging from his body also slowly disappeared.
He knew very well what Howard meant by what he said before leaving... The ceremony was about to be completed, and Howard could not let him go, but the royal city was not a suitable place for a decisive battle, so he chose the dream world.
'Even if I don't go, Howard probably has a back-up plan. Once he is really promoted to an angel, then I will never be able to turn around... Although it is hasty, this is my only chance. '
Chen Lun had already made up his mind.
He will go to the dream world, face Howard, and face his destiny.
Then break it with your own hands.
But before that, I still have one more thing to do...
Chen Lun ignored the shivering boss hiding in the corner, threw down a bag of gold pounds, and turned around to leave the musical instrument store.
