Chapter 101: Chapter 94 [Game] Participate in It?

(The previous Chapter is now unlocked and available for normal subscription.)

After a series of votes, the "Hill Treaty" document was approved.

The treaty adopted a contribution system to handle global-level supernatural events. Whether it was intelligence, investigating the causes, Strange Objects, etc., all were considered a form of contribution.

After the supernatural event was dealt with, organizations with lower contributions would compensate those with higher contributions post-event through financial, technological, and talent resources.

Following the signing of the treaty, many weaker member organizations let out a sigh of relief.

Because relying on their own abilities, they truly could not solve this incident independently and eventually, they still had to rely on stronger parties; spending money and risking lives seemed worthwhile.

Then came the moment of information sharing.

A spokesperson from the Mysterious Bureau said, "We also had a C-level Investigator disappear, and to this day there has been no news."

"He last boarded a tram at around 19:00 in the Western Fifth District, and along with over twenty people on the tram, all vanished."

"It’s regrettable that he did not carry any communication-related Strange Objects, hence we could not receive any effective information... we have no way of knowing what exactly happened to him."

Strange Objects capable of cross-regional communication are too rare and expensive, making it impossible for every Investigator to be equipped with one.

Moreover, the [Blood Demon] seems to have blocking rules, and general-level tools don’t exert much strength.

There was a flurry of discussions as everyone shared the information they knew.

A crisis was brewing, and people increasingly felt that the feasibility of the "prophecy" was rising.

Time might be running out, and although everything seemed calm for now, if they didn’t seize this opportunity, the disaster would quickly spread across the world, turning into a real storm!

However, discussions regarding the [Blood Demon] came with many limitations.

Delving too deeply might trigger its attack, consequently, everyone was hesitant and extremely cautious in their discussions.

Elder No. 1 of the Black-clothed Guard rubbed his temples, troubled. Containing the Subordinate Demon God [Blood Demon] was highly difficult due to insufficient information.

Humans indeed had some means to resist Subordinate Demon Gods.

But undoubtedly, each method required a significant sacrifice...

Extremely significant!

The legendary "Longinus Spear," stained with divine blood, needs the sacrifice of millions to exhibit its true effectiveness.

Such a number of casualties is an unbearable burden for modern civilization.

Another world-level powerful Strange Object, the "Turin Shroud," envelops an unimaginable terror—it could very possibly be a true Demon God that has surfaced in the world!

What exactly it is, all records have been destroyed, erased from the annals of history.

That is, those humans fighting the terror believed: "It must not be known," "It cannot be studied," and decided that destroying the records was the only way to prevent future reckless fantasies.

It’s unthinkable to release this supreme terror just because of the Blood Demon.

Of course, the Black-clothed Guard also possesses powerful world-level Strange Objects.

But similarly, the negative effects are immense, and they are not something to be used lightly. Moreover, the chances of success when using these Strange Objects are also unknown; clashes of rules are incredibly perilous, quickly determining the outcome.

The true form of the [Blood Demon] has yet to be found, so how could it be defeated?

More critically, when distributing heavy costs, who would willingly pay a huge price for others to benefit and gain security?

Considering this, the old man chuckled bitterly, feeling a strange thought, "Heaven is about to fall, and yet humans are still fighting among themselves."

Following this was "Humanity as a species is doomed, it might as well end sooner."

However, being older, he had gradually taken a lighter view of these conflicts; as long as Great Xia preserved its heritage for another five thousand years, nothing else was too important...

He looked at the papers in his hand, chuckled, and turned to his intelligent group, "What do you think? The seventh Dragon Ball has indeed fallen in the Seismograph, but it’s hard to say when the eighth will fall."

The Intelligent Group quickly replied, "Sir, please read this document."

"We believe, after analysis, that it might not be just the disaster of the [Blood Demon], more elements are involved."

"Oh?"

In fact, Great Xia was the least affected country by the disaster, a vast territory with a large population, had only experienced two Red Mist incidents, rather few.

One was in a remote mountainous area, limited in influence, and the damage was barely bearable.

Another Red Mist Catastrophe had enveloped a small downtown area early in the morning, with "Wolmei Mall" as the main building.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the local Black-clothed Guard division, using a spatial-type Strange Object, limited the spread of the Red Mist, keeping the damage contained.

As for the current missing population, in the face of a global catastrophe almost bringing the sky down, it was just an insignificant number.

The Black-clothed Guard only pursued the continuation of civilization, never aiming for a damage-free resolution of supernatural events.

One must recognize their limits; known too little, unknown too much, who possesses the moral and ability to seek a no-injury situation for all of humanity?

"Actually, one of our Investigators got caught in it too, and there’s still no news... and this Investigator has a somewhat special identity."

"Who is it?" Number 1 asked with a calm face.

"It’s Chen Xinyi, she might have gone to the mall to buy breakfast... Unfortunately, a Red Mist arose suddenly around her, and she vanished within it."

"How could it be her?" Number 1 picked up the cup, his wrinkles on his face deep as ravines, and he immediately thought of something.

The Black-clothed Guard are also human; they need to live normally and can’t stay at the base all day.

As a result, when Chen Xinyi went out to buy a cup of milk tea, her disaster-prone nature struck, the Red Mist rose, and she disappeared...

With myriad thoughts in his mind, Chen Xinyi’s inadvertent entry into it could have been accidental, but perhaps it was also inevitable...

Number 1 could think of this, and his Intelligent Group had also long since concluded: "We investigated the disappearances at Wolmei Mall and uncovered quite a few suspicious points."

"If the Demon God ’Game’ is involved, it adds complexity to the situation. The conflict between Demon Gods might have already begun. Earth has turned into a chessboard, and we are all merely pawns. ’Game’ is most likely helping us... of course, its so-called help might just be finding some fun for the Players."

"’Game’ might be controlling Chen Xinyi, making her the Game Main Character."

Number 1 asked, "Do you think, the existence of ’Game’ is causing the ’Blood Demon’ to surface so quickly?"

"It’s not out of the question. But the evidence is insufficient to make a judgment."

The disappearance of Chen Xinyi made the situation even more chaotic.

Chaos is Hell, but chaos is also a ladder.

According to the best guess, ’Game’ might single-handedly resolve the ’Blood Demon’.

After all, the greatest joy of playing games is defeating a boss many times stronger than oneself.

The whole world is meeting here, turning into a joke.

Of course, everyone likes such a scare, nothing is better than a false alarm.

But assuming the worst, if ’Game’ and ’Blood Demon’ collude, humanity will have to face the terror brought by two Demon Gods.

’Game’ is after all just a game player; its thinking is not something humanity can fathom.

What does it care about human life and death?

If this world perishes, just find the next one; after all, the number of parallel worlds in the Etheric Abyss is almost infinite, and humans are not the only species.

Number 1 slowly said, "Sigh, I’m now starting to suspect that the so-called ’Players’ are not actually legitimate humans, which is why we’ve been searching for so long without any findings. Let’s not dwell on this for now."

In the headphones, a member of the Intelligent Group spoke again: "Considering Chen Xinyi is involved in this incident, she has no combat ability and hasn’t carried any high-value Strange Objects, nor could she likely defeat the ’Blood Demon’."

"Her only value... is to communicate information to us."

"Yes, if she can survive, her biggest help would be to pass information to us."

Number 1 frowned, "But she did not carry any communication-related Strange Object, and even if she did, it would be blocked by the ’Blood Demon’s Rule."

The Intelligent Group member said, "No, she doesn’t need any Strange Objects, her soul can directly enter the training camp!"

"And in the training camp, there are Li Qingshan and Comrade Number 12, through whom, she can pass a lot of information to our side."

Number 1 was slightly taken aback, "You mean, ’Game’ wants to use our methods to hunt down the ’Blood Demon’. It’s giving us a hint?"

The Intelligent Group member replied, "Maybe it’s a hint, or maybe not. ’Game’s intents are hard to ascertain. Based on its current behavioral logic, I personally lean towards it siding with humanity and not accelerating the ’Blood Demon’s rise."

"Or maybe, the Players are on humanity’s side."

"When Comrade Number 12 initially entered the Game Training Camp via Heaven’s ladder, ’Game’ could have blocked our Conch Headphones but didn’t do so."

"Why? Because our existence might be related to its interests. Our existence can bring it amusement, so it helps us."

"In the Turtle Soup game, ’Game’ didn’t completely resolve the aberration; instead, our Investigator resolved the subsequent issues. In the Li Family Village downfall, ’Game’ also didn’t resolve the Blood Ginseng Elder."

"This shows that ’Game’ doesn’t intend to completely annihilate ordinary aberrations."

"Its purpose might really be to play the game... just for solving puzzles or whatever else, basically just looking for some amusement."
