Chapter 999: Water Surface and Reflection, Inner and Outer Worlds
Yin Keke gestured for Sui Wuyou to sit down.
Her tone suddenly became serious: "The reason I repeatedly confirm this is because your comics contain real scenes that actually exist in reality."
She tapped the table lightly, and the projection screen on the wall suddenly lit up. Comic strips flashed by, finally freezing on the scene where the protagonist went deep into the "secret realm of the abyss" - a dark red lava river, a suspended obsidian altar, and a crystal with strange patterns engraved on the center of the altar.
Sui Wuyou's pupils suddenly contracted.
This scene was one of the designs he was most satisfied with when he was creating it. He never expected that it would become the reason why the Special Management Department contacted him.
Yin Keke pointed at the projection: "The patterns on this altar are exactly the same as those found in the ancient ruins in the northwest Gobi three years ago. And that crystal..."
She paused for a moment and pulled a sealed metal box from a drawer. "We found the real thing last month while on a mission in a forbidden area in the Southeast Asian rainforest."
The metal box slowly opened, and light blue light instantly filled the entire room.
Sui Wuyou felt his scalp tingle. The crystal looked exactly like the image he had casually sketched in the comic. "How could it be..." he muttered to himself, "I just drew it casually..."
Duan You finally spoke, his voice low and cold. "Even more coincidentally, the entry requirements for the 'Secret Realm of the Abyss' in your comics match the conclusions we reached from our research on crystals within a 1% error."
He pulled up a document, and dense data scrolled across the screen. "According to your plot, the secret realm requires the use of specific blood to activate the crystal on the night of a lunar eclipse. Our experiments have shown that this requires... and..."
He paused, "It must be a sacrifice of a direct blood relative."
Sui Wuyou's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
These settings are just details he put together to increase the drama of the story.
He suddenly remembered that when he was creating, he seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, and many inspirations seemed to emerge automatically from the depths of his mind. "I... I don't know if this is true."
His voice trembled. "I've never seen these things!"
Yin Keke sighed. "We believe you. But the question now is, why did you draw these?"
Her gaze sharpened. "Are you sure you haven't come across any information related to the 'Secret Realm of the Abyss'? Like dreams, flashbacks, or... hints from anyone?"
Sui Wuyou was about to shake his head when a vague image suddenly flashed through his mind: in the darkness, a pair of golden eyes were staring at him, and a faint whisper sounded in his ears.
This scene often appeared in his creations, but he always thought it was because of his overly rich imagination.
"I...I seem to have had some strange dreams."
He spoke with difficulty, "There was a voice in my dream, saying that I was the 'chosen one' and asked me to record the 'truth'."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Duan You stood up suddenly, a look of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "What was that voice? A man or a woman? Did they mention anything specific?"
Sui Wuyou tried to recall, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. "The voice was vague, as if it came from far away. It said... 'The abyss is about to awaken,' and 'The gears of fate have begun to turn.' I thought I'd gone crazy writing novels, so I never told anyone."
Yin Keke and Duan You looked at each other and exchanged complicated looks.
"It seems that things are more troublesome than we thought."
