Chapter 145: Three worlds (2/2)
”Then that makes three worlds?”
”What did you say?” Novis asked.
”It's not much but I was just thinking, Arthur and George, are not from this world.” Hastam then pulled out his phone and went onto the VSW website. ”You said these other three are from his world correct, well why are they all in the game.”
Hastam then continued to scroll through the list of warriors in the game before stopping at Xin.
”You see Xin and his comrades seem to also be in the game, apparently these six here are people that he recognises but we still haven���t found anyone with their spirit yet, who knows they might not be in this world yet or still stuck inside a weapon.”
Hastam then continued to scroll once again until he had finally landed on another warrior. It was female with a scythe held in her hand, Mortem. ”Arthur, George do you recognise her at all.”
Arthur and George looked at the female in the picture but had no recollection of her.
”I thought as much,” Hastam said as he put his phone away. ”Other than you guys I have seen other spirits, that fact that Xin, or your spirits don't recognise them means that they might be from another world. So far that makes three different worlds these spirits have come from.
Then something seemed to click in Novis's mind.
”When you found Xin in that spear, did you see the mark of a dragon?”
Hastam shook his head.
”No, it was the mark of a flame.”
”Maybe the markings have something to do with what world they have come from, you see George here had the exact same marking as Arthur.”
”What you say's makes sense, but we can't test your theory until we find another flame marking or someone form Xin's world.”
As the group sat there in deep thought, there was a big question on all of their minds why? Why were all these spirits somehow connected to the game? Gold ware corp had to know more about this but it was strange that they hadn't come out and done anything.
Hastam was a big public figure, surely someone from the game would have come out and reached out to him.
”If there are a hundred warriors in the game, does that mean there are a hundred spirits?” Hastam rambled.
”I don't think so, Tom one of the developers of the game based the latest warrior in the game off me. Unless I'm a spirit and don't realise it, then it wouldn't fit the pattern. Besides, you said there were three so far right?” Novis said, ”Arthur's group makes five, Xin's group makes six, that makes eleven in total. Are all the rest from this third world then?”
Hastam then took out his phone once again and started to look through the list of warriors and he spotted something.
”You're right, if I look carefully when the game first launched around ten years ago, it was released with only a total of thirty warriors, and on this list, if we include the ones Arthur and Xin know that makes sixteen.”
”So you've seen other spirits, have you talked to any of them?” Novis asked.
As Novis asked the question, Hastam palms started to sweat a little as he thought back to the situation.
”Actually, that was the main reason I wanted to call you over, look I know your spirit is strong but I think it's best if you drop out of this tournament. And before you say anything hear me out. If you truly love this game and want to become a pro, I can help you out with my connections. Heck, you wouldn't even need them if you just told everyone who you were but the team you are up against one of them is possessed by an evil spirit.”
As Novis heard these words his heart started to thump louder and louder. The image of Lucas fighting in the last match appeared in his head. How his whole style had changed and how he suddenly was able to produce sword energy.
”It's Lucas bell. He's been taken over.”
