Chapter 304 303: Meeting An Old Friend
After speaking a little bit more with the despair-stricken Chucky who was brimming with lethal intent, Corey created a clone for each of his skill and gave them the task of learning and practicing it till perfection.
Even passive skills were no exceptions.
Also, Corey created three clones to stay in the Library of Records.
The task of the first clone was to read every record in the Library of Records.
The task of the second clone was to accompany and converse with Chucky.
There were two main reasons as to why Corey made this decision.
First, Corey knew that Chucky could become bored of staying in the Library of Records.
Corey knew what boredom could cause and how it could cause a human to start thinking of completely random and sometimes dangerous things.
Corey was not sure if boredom could make Chucky have random and dangerous thoughts since he was not a human and was a spirit.
Despite this, Corey still did not want to take the chance.
His life was at stake here.
The second reason was that Corey wanted to watch and observe Chucky's actions at all times, or most times at least.
Just like Chucky had guessed, Corey did not trust the spirit and since he could literally create a CCTV camera to watch Chucky.
Why not?
As for Chucky.
Chucky was pleased and happy.
It obviously knew that one of the reasons as to why Corey created a clone to converse and stay with him was to observe all that he did.
But, Chucky did not care.
It never expected Corey to create a clone to accompany him and converse with him in the Library of Records.
It was ready to spend an unknown amount of time in the Perceptual Nexus Repository in complete boredom.
But, luckily for it, it had a … friend? Acquaintance?
Regardless, Chucky was happy and in fact, he was a little bit touched by Corey's decision.
The last clone Corey created was assigned a very special task.
In fact, it was one of the most important tasks Corey had assigned to a clone.
The clone was to read the records of the memories he removed himself in the first tribulation of hell.
The glass world of the first tribulation of hell was a special place because his passive talent skill, Record, did not work.
Record was a skill which passively recorded everything that Corey saw into several books.
But, when Corey checked the library of records, there was no record of what he saw in the glass world.
No glass road.
No deadly mirrors.
No glass sky.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing was recorded in the Library of Records and this was why Chucky had no idea how Corey could unlock the Perceptual Nexus Repository.
Chucky knew of every record in the Library of Records, which meant that Chucky knew everything about Corey.
Or, almost everything.
Although Record could not record anything about the first tribulation of hell. He was able to record the multiple lives he lived in the first tribulation of hell.
Which meant that despite Corey using Cognitum Erasure on his mind, he would be able to remember all that he went through in the lives he lived in the first tribulation of hell.
Well, Corey wouldn't exactly remember all that he went through.
It's more accurate to say that Corey would remember those memories like he was watching a movie from a third person point of view.
So, it wouldn't exactly affect Corey as much as it would have if he had not removed the memories of his past lives.
As for why Corey wanted to regain his memories of those lives?
One word.
Knowledge.
No knowledge was useless and Corey knew he would learn a lot from the memories and they could be useful.
"Alright Chucky. I'm off."
Corey said as he looked at Chucky who was playing chess with his clone.
Chucky frowned due to the name, but didn't say anything about it.
He had threatened Corey and even cursed him for giving him such a barbarous name.
But all Corey did was laugh.
It vexed him to no end.
"What about to my question? How were you able to activate my consciousness and the Perceptual Nexus Repository?"
"You said you'll give me you answer after I answer your question."
Chucky questioned with furrowed brows and Corey smiled.
"I never said such. Remember very well Chucky."
"Huh?" Chucky frowned, then he recalled Corey's exact words.
It's expression changed when he realized that Corey never actually said he'll answer his questions if he answered Corey's.
It had just assumed Corey would answer his questions if he answered Corey's because that was common courtesy.
"You barbaric animal."
Chucky gritted his teeth in anger while looking at Corey with a blazing inferno of anger in his eyes.
Corey chuckled, then waved using two fingers.
"Maybe next time huh?"
Corey mockingly said, and without waiting for Chucky's reply, he vanished leaving Chucky who was filled with curses and anger.
-----
Back in the Underworld, Corey appeared in the room given to him by Oscar. He looked around, then exhaled softly before standing.
"I guess it's time to see an old friend."
Corey said while stretching his body.
"He'll probably shout at me a lot."
Corey chuckled, then he walked out of the room.
-----
Standing in front of a familiar and beautiful mansion in the inner area of the city of sin were two individuals.
The first was a male with a large build, extremely handsome face, violet and blue eyes, and a slight smile on his lips.
This male was Corey.
Beside him was Kiefer who wore a black robe which barely exposed his amber eyes which had an intrigued light in them as he gazed at the mansion before them.
Corey took a step forward and walked to the door of the entrance. But, then he stopped and looked at Kiefer.
"It would be best if you stay at least ten meters away from the door. In fact, twenty meters is much safer."
Kiefer looked at Corey with raised brows but didn't ask any question and moved twenty meters away from the door.
He then looked at Corey and waited to see why Corey told him to stay far away from the door.
'Was a fight going to happen?'
Kiefer thought, but didn't speak out loud.
Meanwhile, Corey nodded after seeing Kiefer move away and he knocked on the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
His knock was extremely loud and Kiefer covered his ears since he was not expecting Corey to knock so loud.
Three seconds later,
"WHICH BASTARD DARES TO RUIN MY CONCOCTION?!!"
A shout filled with rage resounded in the ears of Corey and Kiefer, almost damaging their ears as a result.
"Oops."
Corey's smile widened when he heard the rage filled voice, and in the next second, the door to the mansion flew at a great speed.
Corey quickly moved to the side, dodging the door.
His lips twitched and cold sweat appeared from his forehead when he felt a high amount of killing intent entirely on him.
He looked at the source which was an average looking man wearing a green robe. He had wrinkles on his face, grey hair on his head and a long beard that had a pointed end.
In his right hand was a staff with a green crystal at the top which was glowing with an eerie light.
"Hello Master."
Corey's said with a wry smile on his lips.
