As Gu Qingshan explained, the entire darkness around him began to change.
A cold mechanical voice rang out:
" Abyss Passage Key detected."
In the boundless darkness, a beam of light descended from the sky and fell upon the triangular key.
The triangular key kept making a sizzling sound.
"Key authenticity confirmed."
"Relevant information cross-checked. Event confirmed as genuine."
A light screen appeared before Gu Qingshan.
The Lord of Twisting All Things stood before a massive metal door, straining to push it open.
The door rumbled as it moved.
The mechanical voice rang out again:
"Event confirmed."
"After analyzing the situation, the threat level of this event has been determined to be: severe."
"Summoning the Spirit of the Magic Dragon to handle it."
The mechanical voice fell silent.
On the screen, the Lord of Twisting All Things had pushed the door open.
He let out a shrill laugh, crossed the threshold, and skipped along with his arms flailing, as if celebrating something.
The Lord of Twisting All Things clearly looked like a dignified, middle-aged man, yet he performed one bewitching dance after another without pause. The sight was indescribably eerie.
He stepped into the boundless darkness beyond the door.
At the same time, the cold mechanical voice rang out again:
"The Spirit of the Magic Dragon has received the message and is on its way."
"Event handling initiated."
As the voice spoke, something new appeared on the light screen.
Gusts of wind took shape from thin air, howling as they blocked the Lord of Twisting All Things' path.
"What a pity. There's actually another door inside, and you can't let yourself out."
The howling winds gradually coalesced into the shape of a person.
"Magic Dragon!"
The Lord of Twisting All Things shrieked.
His voice had become completely feminine.
"That's me.
