Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2715

1228: Possession

“It was you?” The next moment, Bald Ai Pan Rou saw Fireworks in his arms, and her expression froze.

“Bald, how did you get into this?” Fireworks blinked, staring at the fatal wound on his chest.

“I was ambushed by the Burning Knight,” Bald Ai Pan Rou sighed softly. “It’s my fault, blinded by greed. When I overheard him rallying his companions to deal with him, I let my guard down and even felt a bit gloating. Little did I know he’d already sensed my presence and was just saying that. His target was the entire starship, and all of us.”

“It’s a pity I realized this too late,”

Zaun lamented. If the guests on board had worked together, combined with the members of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, even if the Burning Knight had mustered all his men, it would have been difficult to harm them.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs; the reality was that they were all defeated one by one.

“Fireworks, what’s wrong with you?” Bald Ai Pan Rou realized that something was wrong with Fireworks. It wasn’t just a show of affection, just a hug, as he’d initially thought.

“Poisoned by the Octopus,” Fireworks grumbled. If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t be in such a state of disarray.

“The Octopus’ poison is colorless and odorless, making it impossible to prevent. It weakens bones and weakens muscles, and stuns the flow of vital energy. But don’t worry, it will naturally dispel itself in a day.” Baldheaded Rejoice consulted his knowledge base.

“What’s the point of saying this now? I’ll be dead in a day.” Fireworks rolled his eyes. This guy already knew about the Burning Knight’s movements, but he didn’t warn him about the Octopus’ poison. He probably had ulterior motives.

Then Zuan quickly said, “The Burning Knight is still chasing us. Brother Baldhead, I’ll take you away.”

He lifted Fireworks with one hand and reached for Baldheaded Rejoice with the other.

Fireworks pouted. It wasn’t certain they could escape now, and carrying another burden would be even more troublesome.

But remembering that Zuan had just gone to rescue even the ordinary staff, he knew he wouldn’t give up on the bald guy.

Following the original instructions from No. 9527, Zuan led the two through various cabins, discovering several secret passages that amazed the two. They

soon reached the escape pods. Zuan placed his fireworks in one and then prepared to release the Bald Man’s Rejoice. The other

man shook his head and said, “I’m done. Let’s not waste this opportunity. You guys go…”

Fireworks, standing nearby, couldn’t help but grumble, “Why didn’t you tell me just now? You’re only saying you’re done now, having brought me all this way?”

“Every living thing has a survival instinct, and I’m no exception,” the Bald Man’s Rejoice said with a wry smile. “I was holding out for a glimmer of hope just now, but I’ve worked hard to repair myself along the way, and I’ve confirmed that all hope is gone. Unless I have the legendary elixir of immortality, there’s no way I can survive.” Zuan remained silent

. He didn’t have the elixir of immortality, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be so naive as to use it to save a random stranger.

At this moment, the bald Ai Piao Rou bowed slightly to him. “Sir, you have forgiven me. I was clearly against you, yet you still wanted to save me. I deeply admire your noble sentiment.”

As he spoke, he produced a ball of blue light from his head. It was as beautiful as the starry sky, and in his hand it felt like a beautiful gem, yet it was not a physical entity.

“I have spent my entire life studying the language of the universe, and over the years I have achieved some success.” At this point, a hint of pride crossed the bald man’s face. “I have nothing to repay you with. Since you used such means to ask me to learn the language of the universe, I will give you all I have learned, so that your research will not remain unknown.”

Zuan was shocked. “You know?”

The bald Ai Piao Rou sighed. “I am a believer in wisdom. If you can’t see through this now, what difference is there between you and an ass?”

It was strange that the other person had disguised himself as a firework and came to his room. After all, Firework had always been very rude to him. The other person in the room was a little too enthusiastic, and his words and actions were also somewhat different from Firework.

But at the time, he was so blinded by lust that he didn’t think it through.

Now, seeing the real Fireworks again, and seeing the other party’s indifferent attitude towards him, he immediately realized that the Fireworks that had come into the room before must have been fake.

“I’m so sorry…”

Zuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the other party: “There’s no need to apologize. Your move is actually very consistent with our path of wisdom. I admire you so much that I don’t hate you. If you really want to do something for me, please complete my unfinished thesis, sign my name, and publish it in the academic community of the universe…”

His voice faded, and before he could finish his words, he died.

The blue light in his hand automatically flew in front of Zuan.

Fireworks couldn’t help but say, “This is a wonderful thing. It embodies the crystallization of his knowledge. He has studied the languages of the universe for a lifetime. No one in the world knows more about languages than him. With this, you can instantly understand the languages of the universe.”

“How do I use it?” Zuan said, puzzled.

“You can place it directly on your forehead, and it will naturally merge with your thoughts,” Fireworks explained. “You have to be quick. Once this thing leaves the body, it will dissipate quickly, which would be a shame.”

Zuan, on his journey to the dreamland, desperately needed various languages.

He placed the blue light on his forehead, and immediately, a chill spread from his brow, and countless knowledge flooded into his mind.

“Ah!”

Zuan cried out in pain, clutching his head. Perhaps the sheer volume of data had just suddenly overwhelmed his consciousness, leaving him in a state of confusion.

The next moment, he felt like he was standing in a starry sky, surrounded by a cascade of data in various languages.

His brain felt as if it were piercing with needles, and he could only try to maintain his composure and silently absorb the knowledge.

Unexpectedly, the cascade of data suddenly parted, and a figure of transparent light emerged from it.

Zuan, sensing something, opened his eyes and stared at the man. “Bald Loves Rejoice?”

This man now looked exactly like Bald Loves Rejoice, only his form was fainter, as if a spirit were present.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this young. Although your realm isn’t high, your physical strength is astonishing, and you possess boundless potential. And, most importantly, Fireworks likes you.” The bald man smiled faintly.

Zuan’s heart ached with alarm. He noticed the man’s expression, no longer as compassionate as before, but now utterly sinister and terrifying.

Having weathered countless storms, he had finally grasped the situation. “You want to possess my body?”

“It seems you’re not so foolish. It’s a shame you’re still greedy. If you hadn’t coveted my knowledge, how could you have fallen for it?” The bald man was now brimming with pride. He had thought himself doomed, but unexpectedly, his fortunes had turned.
