555: Invitation To Necrosis
The Lord of Space was also searching like Janus, but it seemed like he was also having a hard time finding what he was looking for.
From one city to another, he kept changing locations as he searched each city and soon.
...
Ryder and Alice had reached the empty.
"Where are the others?" Alice asked Ryder as she entered what seemed like a ghost mansion. Not a single person could be seen here.
"The staff was assigned to a different place. A different staff will come and take over soon," Ryder lied to Alice as she sat on the sofa, finally relaxing.
" You seem tired," Alice pointed out. "Why don't you go and rest in your room? I'll prepare something to eat for you."
"Th-"
Ting!
As Ryder was about to reply, he heard the doorbell.
"It seems like Shu is back," Ryder said as he started walking towards the door. Alice also followed behind him.
As Ryder opened the door, he found a man standing at the door. The man seemed to be dressed in a black coat and black pants.
"Who might you be?" Ryder asked the man, curious.
"Ah, are you Miss Alice?" Ignoring Ryder, the man asked Alice.
"Yeah. Who are you?" Alice asked.
"Greetings, Miss Alice. I am from the Necrosis Corporation. You actually agreed to take part in our billion-dollar event of Divinity. To brief the selected players about that event, they are invited to the Headquarters of Necrosis in the New Capital," the man informed Alice.
"We actually tried contacting you regarding it on the number we were given, but it seemed to be off. Seeing the importance of the event and your participation, I came here to tell you personally," the man further said.
"You're from Necrosis? Can I see some identification?" Ryder asked the man.
"Sure. Here is my ID card," the man said as he gave his identity card to Ryder.
Ryder observed the card for a brief moment before he handed it back.
After taking back the card, the man looked back at Alice.
"So, Miss Alice, are you coming? We have arranged for the ticket as well. Since you need to be there tomorrow evening, the ticket is for tomorrow morning."
Alice glanced at Ryder as if asking him if she should. Ryder nodded as if giving her the permission.
In any case, he also wanted to see what Necrosis was up to. He didn't need to worry about anything after all. He has the strength of all the Kings, and he had Janus. No matter what they did, he was confident in himself.
Moreover, he was soon going to get the strength of a god that he had just killed.
He did know that the powers of Aluren were going to make his mortal body much stronger, but he didn't realize that the only reason Janus wanted this for him was that his body was going to be strong enough to contain Chaos' strength.
If his body were stronger before, Chaos would've had to go back to sleep last time he came out.
"Alright. I accept the invitation, but I'll bring him too," Alice told the man as she accepted the ticket.
"That's no problem. Each person is allowed to bring one guardian," the man replied. "But we haven't arranged the tickets for him."
"It's fine; I'll get my tickets on my own," Ryder chimed in.
"That's better. I'll take my leave in that case," the man said as he left.
