Chapter 1000 - Fate of Twins (1) (2/2)

Arthur revealed a bitter smile, while Rhode knitted his brows. He finally understood why players believed that the Void Dragon was formidably powerful and no one dared to challenge it. But…

“I don’t quite understand yet. In this case, why did you still design the BOSS? Since it is just a program, won’t it be the same wherever you hide it?”

“This is different, Mr. Rhode.”

Ningjing shook her head. This was the first time she revealed a grim look on her smiley face.

“After the B&M Company was established, we were scouted by many organizations and some hackers even tried to infiltrate our program for secrets. The data-collection program is essential for us, which was why we placed it in the depth of the core and set up the strongest firewall. Not only that, but we also added an escape program, just in case.”

“Escape program? It isn’t even a spaceship…”

“We aren’t presences of this world, Mr. Rhode.”

Rhode didn’t finish his question and was interrupted by Arthur. This was the first time this gentle and cultivated man revealed a solemn and uncertain look.

“You may or may not understand, but we’re constantly worried either about being struck back from this world or other areas at any time. In order to prevent accidents, we designed and added an escape code in the data-collection program, just in case. As soon as the program detects one of the Creator Dragons being heavily injured, it will determine that we may possibly be under attack. When that happens, the program will automatically activate our hidden power, forcibly connect the signal with the plane of existence channel, and transfer the Creator Dragon, as well as its data back.”

“… Could it be that…”

Rhode presented an odd expression, while Arthur nodded with a forceful smile.

“To tell you the truth, Mr. Rhode, the Void Dragon’s program in the bottom floor of the Deepest Labyrinth drew support from your younger sister’s power. You also possessed the power of the Void Dragon. As neither of you won in the final battle, the escape program determined the condition of [Creator Dragon Under Attack], activating the program automatically and transported you into our world… Frankly, we were also baffled that this happened. Although we have been observing you, that was…”

Arthur spread his arms apart helplessly. It was apparent that he didn’t know what to say anymore. Rhode was also stupefied. He understood the reason, but…

“Can’t you try again? Is there a way for me to open up a channel for your return?”

“That is impossible, Mr. Rhode.”

Ningjing shook her head with a bitter smile, denying his suggestion.

“It was our final, coalesced bodies in the previous program and we don’t have enough spiritual powers to try again. Besides, like we said earlier, the power system in this world is different from the continent where we’re in. We can’t gather and produce spiritual powers. As for your side… Frankly, the signal has run out of power. Although we are able to meet here, I suppose we will not see each other again after the connection is cut off. And you will not be able to find us through the signal tower anymore.”

“…”

Rhode sighed. He wasn’t an idiot. He understood what she meant, of course.

“In other words, only I can accomplish it?”

“Yes, Mr. Rhode. Although it is tough for us to ask, you’re the only one who can do it… We will transfer all the essence of our strength to you. But before that…”

The four of them stood up all of a sudden. Rhode witnessed their actions and also stood up unknowingly. Arthur gazed at him and spoke.

“… Someone wants to meet you…”
