Apocalypse Circular

Chapter 322: The Thousand-Eyes Demon


As Lu Luo stepped out the door, a curvaceous maid beckoned to him.

"Mr. Lu Luo, please follow me."

"Okay."

The curvaceous servant winked at Lu Luo. He noticed the seductive intent in her eyes but did not respond.

Following the maid, Lu Luo felt very strange. My reason for visiting the Luo Family hasn't been concealed, and my relationship with Bai Yuetong should be common knowledge. So why is this maid trying to seduce me? And why is her technique so clumsy? If I really fell for it, what would happen? For example, being caught in bed mid-act? And then Dumb Hair would be heartbroken and break up with me?

[Lu Xiaoluo, your ability to let your thoughts wander has improved again! What kind of health supplement have you been taking recently?]

"Probably Brain Booster!"

The maid walking ahead, swaying her hips, was startled. She looked back at Lu Luo with a smile. "What was Mr. Lu Luo just saying?"

Lu Luo looked at the maid and said very seriously, "Oh, I was saying that you're really sturdy, just like Li Dasha from next door to our house! She's well-known throughout the neighborhood!"

Listening to Lu Luo's vivid description, the maid's face instantly turned livid.

Li Dasha from next door? Is that a compliment or an insult?

The maid suppressed the anger in her eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu Luo, you really know how to joke!"

But Lu Luo immediately put on his usual serious face.

"Auntie, I'm really not joking. The way you sway your butt, it's exactly like Li Dasha! If you didn't look a bit older than her, I'd almost have mistaken you for her."

Older than Li Dasha? The maid staggered, furious yet unable to express it.

No longer swaying her hips or speaking, she led Lu Luo to a room on the second floor of the villa and pointed at the door. "This is your room, Mr. Lu Luo."

"Oh, thank you. Wait a moment..."

The maid paused. Could her seduction have worked? Men, they're all the same—creatures who think with their lower halves.

"Do you need anything else, Mr. Lu Luo? If the room still needs cleaning, I can go in and clean it for you."

Does this 'cleaning'... come with a fee?

Lu Luo curled his lips; such tactics were far too crude. However, he had indeed stopped the maid because he truly had something to ask.

"You needn't trouble yourself, Auntie. I just wanted to ask, where is Bai Yuetong's room?"

The maid really wanted to punch Lu Luo, but she restrained herself again.

"Men are not permitted to enter the Young Miss's room casually!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a casual person."

"Mr. Lu Luo, it's not a matter of whether you're casual or not. Men are not allowed in the women's quarters."

"I won't go in. I just want to know where it is."

"Since you don't need to go in, then there's no need for Mr. Lu Luo to know where the Young Miss's room is located."

"Please, just tell me, Auntie! I'm begging you!"

"It's no use. This is one thing that will not change, Mr. Lu Luo."

"Alright then. It seems there's no other way."

Seeing that soft words were ineffective, Lu Luo suddenly opened his eyes wide. His pupils began to dilate, and the mark of his Sequence started to appear within them.

The maid, who was looking into Lu Luo's eyes, was first startled, then her whole demeanor became sluggish. Her eyes started to show the same Sequence patterns as Lu Luo's. Soon, her mental state was completely under Lu Luo's control.

"Where is Bai Yuetong's room?"

"The Young Miss's room is the third one on the third floor. It's the Mechanical Princess Room, specially prepared for her by the Family Head."

Luo Xuemin really put a lot of thought into Bai Yuetong's accommodations! As Lu Luo was feeling impressed, the maid showed signs of breaking free.

But Lu Luo wouldn't give her the chance.

"Are you a servant of the Luo Family?"

"No."

[Good heavens!]

"Who sent you here?"

"Shi Tingyu."

I don't recognize the name, but judging by it, she must be from the Shi Family, the largest family in the Council. The Shi Family and the Luo Family are supposed to be firm allies, so what's the point of sending someone to spy on the Luo Family? Then again, spying on allies seems quite normal, actually!

SNAP!

Lu Luo snapped his fingers, and the maid woke up.

"Huh?"

"What 'huh'? If you're not going to tell me Bai Yuetong's location, then hurry up and leave. Get out, get out! Lest someone misunderstands and thinks I have some unspeakable relationship with you, an old woman."

Lu Luo's attitude suddenly turned foul, leaving the maid somewhat flabbergasted.

He doesn't possess the demeanor of a successful person or someone of high status. Though not ugly, he's just a typical nouveau riche from the Fourth Ring. Yes, an unrefined nouveau riche from the Fourth Ring. How can there be such a person? He's like a lunatic...

After the maid left, Lu Luo finally returned to his room.

It was a simple, clean room, with nothing luxurious, but it had everything necessary.

Lying in bed, Lu Luo didn't dwell on his conversation with Luo Xuemin. Those matters seemed important, but in truth, they didn't hold much significance for me. Even if I don't trade with the Luo Family, I have other options, like Jin Chen. So, overall, the initiative is in my hands.

Compared to those matters, Lu Luo was more concerned about his upcoming actions in the Inner Ring, especially those related to the Church and Judgment Chief Bai Qingshuang.

Alas, one must be strong to forge iron!

Lu Luo didn't go to sleep. With his current Constitution, he could go a long time without sleep and experience no issues. He might feel fatigue, but its impact on him was almost negligible.

Having discovered a new application for the Sequence Force, Lu Luo felt this aspect of his ability was worth developing and practicing.

He first extended a finger, and the pattern of the Doomsday Disc Sequence again appeared in his pupil. At the same time, a tiny tendril silently grew from the center of Lu Luo's room.

Lu Luo looked at this tendril with interest. "This ability allows for precise control."

He slowly walked forward and touched the mouthparts and barbs on the tendril with his finger. A sharp pain shot through his fingertip. If it weren't for his 200 Constitution and armor traits, his defenses could have easily been breached.

Indeed, the manifestation of the Sequence can affect reality from the ethereal world!

Lu Luo was well aware that the tendril before him was an extension of his ability, an illusion brought about by his aura.

"Let's try something else!"

Lu Luo slowly released his aura, restraining his emotions and power as much as possible, letting his will and body gradually merge. The sensation was incredibly peculiar, giving him a sense of total self-control. Power extended within his limbs and then erupted!

Lu Luo's pupils suddenly dilated, and with that, countless eyes appeared all around the room. These eyes, large and small, were densely packed. They all focused intently on Lu Luo, and his head began to hurt. Because, in a sense, he could actually see his surroundings through these eyes!

The Devourer of the World's Core, and the All-Seeing Eye?

Lu Luo wasn't entirely comfortable with the new perspective offered by the Observer after releasing the Sequence Force. The only direct sensation was that his mind was tired, very tired. Even with his Constitution and mental strength, after sustaining it for a while, he inevitably needed to rest.

"Damn it, this is exhausting!"

As Lu Luo complained, he couldn't help but feel elated by his new ability. Although it was just a rudimentary application of the Thousand Eyes, its effect was already more than satisfying.

I think I roughly understand. My Domain is my very self! And the Observer is also a Sequence within me. When I release my Lord's aura, the Observer's power manifests uncontrollably, forming countless eyes! These eyes are the physical manifestation of the Observer Sequence! Devourers manifest as tentacles, Observers as eyes... so what about Fusioners? And Summoners?

Lu Luo wanted to try but had no idea how to proceed. Devourer and Observer were the two Sequences he used most. Perhaps it was this extensive use that allowed him to swiftly grasp this special method of using Sequences after breaking through to the Fifth Tier.

If these eyes grant additional fields of vision, could my previously used abilities have been recorded? Observer, can you be of any use here?

[Um, there should be, right?]

Forget it. You don't even know your own abilities. What a waste.

[Using my abilities and still calling me a waste. Nice.]

Lu Luo continued to attempt to connect with the Observer mentally, trying to touch upon that sensation of the Observer extending outward. Soon, he got a reaction!

It seems... there really is something?

A line of sight in the corridor suddenly connected to Lu Luo; it was an eye he had left there earlier when releasing his aura in the hallway. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, this eye was still usable. Lu Luo struggled to control the eye's movement, trying his best to take in the surroundings. The eye was indeed usable, but the corridor was now shrouded in darkness, devoid of anything meaningful.

If the eye in the hallway can be controlled, then that one from before...

The corners of Lu Luo's mouth curled up slightly. Though it was somewhat mischievous, he decided to do it anyway. He brought his hands together, doing his utmost to keep his spirit and will focused.

"Spirit and intent, unite!" Lu Luo muttered; this wasn't a spell, but a form of self-suggestion. His target was the eye he had left on Zhang Yifan's forehead!

Under certain specific conditions, Lu Luo's consciousness began to connect with the eye on Zhang Yifan's forehead. This connection was established on a non-physical channel. If he had to define it scientifically, Lu Luo thought this channel should be called the Sequence Channel, because he felt the flow of Sequence Force within it.

What an incredible ability!

Lu Luo marveled at the changes brought by the Sequence Force. Soon, he made a special connection with the eye on Zhang Yifan's head.

The connection is made.

Lu Luo was a little excited, but this was just the beginning. The Sequence Force, mixed with Lu Luo's spirit and will, gradually established a channel with the eye.

The eye suddenly opened!

And Zhang Yifan, as if sensing something, abruptly opened his eyes!

The darkness of the room was fully visible; the eyes extended by the Observer seemed to have inherited Lu Luo's powerful vision. Even in a dark environment, they could maintain absolute visual superiority.

Zhang Yifan sat up in bed. His instincts as a loyal bodyguard told him that his sudden awakening was definitely not without reason.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Yifan seemed to feel something strange on his forehead and reached up to touch it. His fingers found nothing unusual. However, when he brought his fingers down, they felt slippery and sticky.

"This sensation... it's a bit like... tears?"

As Zhang Yifan touched his forehead, Lu Luo covered his own eyes, kneeling on the bed in some pain.

Damn it, why did he have to rub it? My eyes... I'm blinded!

[Not at all. Those are my eyes, not yours. The sensation you're feeling is just an illusion transmitted due to your unified spirit and intent. Besides, don't you have any clue how high your defense is?]

Oh, in that case, it's fine.

Lu Luo casually sat back up. His eyes had felt very dry when Zhang Yifan was rubbing the eye on his forehead. He truly felt as though his own eyes were about to be rubbed blind. But after hearing the Observer's explanation, he was reassured. Indeed, whether this sensory feedback could harm him or not, he had a fair assessment of his own defenses.

When I released the Eye of Insight, did Zhang Yifan feel anything?

[How would I know? These abilities aren't even recorded on the Doomsday Disc. You better hurry up and find the Dawn Disc to see if there's any record of other information.]

If you're useless, just admit it. Why bring the Dawn Disc into this?! Lu Luo couldn't help but mock the Observer.

Then he once again placed his hands together, adjusted his emotions, and prepared to continue connecting with the eye on Zhang Yifan's forehead.

Here it comes!

BUZZ!

Zhang Yifan once again felt an odd sensation. He subconsciously touched his forehead again, but still, there was nothing. Yet that slimy feeling persisted.

"Why would my forehead be wet?"

Zhang Yifan turned on the light and looked in the mirror. Seeing nothing unusual on his forehead, he was relieved. However, he didn't go back to bed. Instead, he walked over to his desk. He took out a notebook from a drawer, tore off a page, and began to write with a pen from his pocket.

[Today, Lu Luo and Luo Xuemin had a meeting. They had a very detailed conversation...]

Lu Luo, still upstairs, was somewhat shocked by this scene. This Zhang Yifan... this note... is he a mole?

[Wow, just how many moles does the Luo Family have?!]

Zhang Yifan quickly detailed the conversation on his paper, not missing a thing. But soon after he wrote them, the words would rapidly disappear, as if they had never existed.

Once he had detailed the conversation between Lu Luo and Luo Xuemin from that night, he tapped his head with the pen and continued writing:

[Lu Luo's strength is formidable. I can no longer sense the depth of his power. In the test battle this afternoon, he took down 26 Third to Fourth Tier Transcendents in about 30 seconds, and that's including the lead-up. But that's not the most noteworthy part. The truly important thing is Lu Luo's uniqueness! During his fight, he unleashed an extraordinarily potent Outburst of aura. Hidden in the mist, Lu Luo displayed an exceptional presence...]

Zhang Yifan didn't know that everything he wrote was being seen by Lu Luo. But even if Lu Luo saw it, it didn't mean much. Currently, he couldn't possibly expose Zhang Yifan, nor did he know where this information would be sent. His only choice was to pretend not to know.

Ah, the families in the Council are truly something else! After witnessing Zhang Yifan's actions, Lu Luo felt somewhat emotional.

After Zhang Yifan finished writing, the paper, under the erosion of his Dark Energy, turned to dust, leaving no trace. But Lu Luo was very certain that this information was definitely transmitted; otherwise, there was no reason for Zhang Yifan to write these things in the middle of the night.

Is it some kind of alchemical product?

[Who knows?]

Oh well, I'd better continue practicing. I need to master this... eyeball?

[Wouldn't 'Thousand-Eyed Demon' sound more prestigious?]

Lu Luo resumed practicing control over his aura. Where his aura extended, another tendril grew. After practicing with this tendril for a while, Lu Luo gradually mastered this application of his aura.

He continued to practice with great focus, and time unknowingly slipped into the deep of night.

Ah, I wonder how Dumb Hair is doing!

Just as Lu Luo was thinking about Dumb Hair, she was also tossing and turning in her bed, unable to sleep.

Ah, I wonder how that fellow Lu Luo is doing. Is he sound asleep?

The Luo Family was very different from Qi Xinzhu's family. There were many servants and strict house rules. Even someone as free-spirited as Bai Yuetong was bound by various family regulations.

But Bai Yuetong was a very daring woman! For some reason, she really wanted to be with Lu Luo right now. So, unable to sleep, she began to hatch a mischievous plan.

"First, we need a thermal sensor in the blanket, then we put a decoy here! Next, install an automatic voice response device. Then, an arm and leg exoskeleton suitable for climbing! Voila!"

Bai Yuetong carefully opened her room window and quietly stuck a leg out. The leg exoskeleton easily secured itself to the wall. This equipment gave her the ability to climb walls like a spider.

"Hmm! The guest rooms should be on the second floor, right?"

With reckless abandon, Bai Yuetong began to climb toward the second floor.
