Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!
Chapter 119 - 110

Chapter 119: 110

A miracle happened!

This time, her soul had somehow broken through the Blood Demon’s restrictions and returned to the Game Training Camp.

Blue skies, white clouds, and the green mountains and seas once again filled her view.

These familiar sights filled Chen Xinyi with indescribable excitement. She jumped around on the ground, her face flushed with exhilaration, screaming and shouting, "Ha! I... I made it in, ha, I broke the Blood Demon’s rules, I really made it!"

"I’m back! I’m back!"

It was the joy of a narrow escape from disaster, the exhilaration of a person dying of thirst finding an oasis, the overwhelming emotion brought by receiving coal in a snowstorm.

Chen Xinyi was on the verge of tears.

"You... you’re still alive! What exactly happened?"

Number 12, Comrade Lu Tianming, who had been lying on the ground taking a break like a salted fish, bulged his eyes in surprise at the sudden appearance of someone who had changed from air to flesh.

"Weren’t you said to have disappeared in the red mist?"

Not far away, Li Qingshan, who had been running over, yelled urgently, "You’ve been missing for almost a whole day!"

The woman was so thrilled that her entire face turned as red as an apple, chuckling, "Hehe, yes, you have no idea what I’ve been through. What a memorable day."

"You guys would never guess what I’ve seen. I witnessed some strange truths."

"Could it possibly be that you tore through space, ascended to the Immortal Realm, then saved the Multi-universe?" Lu Tianming laughed heartily, letting his imagination run wild, which momentarily left Ms. Chen speechless.

Soon, she bounced back to her carefree self, smiling with raised eyebrows, "Now’s not the time to talk about that. I have super, incredibly important information to report..."

"It’s immensely important, and it will definitely shock you!"

"The Blood Demon, it might be surfacing!"

"It was the Blood Demon that took me to the Parallel Worlds! I’m still trapped in that place, unable to get out, only my soul has come here. We must take this matter seriously!"

She yelled so loudly that Li Qingshan, standing beside her, jumped in alarm at the volume of her voice.

"Don’t get so worked up... don’t think so poorly of us humans over here, okay? We’ve known about this already."

Number 12, with a hint of a smile, took out the Conch Headphones, "But for you to have figured this out on your own and to have survived, that’s quite an improvement."

"Hmph hmph," Ms. Chen hummed through her nose, a bit proud.

It wasn’t really my deduction though, but rather thanks to holding onto some strong coattails.

She was well aware of that.

But recognizing and clinging tightly to a powerful ally was, after all, part of her own strength.

Number 12 tossed the headphones to her, "You’re connected now. Speak directly to the higher-ups yourself."

"Just report everything as it is."

Chen Xinyi, an inherently optimistic girl, now realizing her own value and establishing contact with the headquarters, found her heart racing with the possibility of rescue, and once again she shouted at the top of her lungs, "The intelligence is not just that, oh, I think the ’Game’ has made its move again, it’s really helping us, investigating the Blood Demon!"

"Only this time, I’m not the Main Character..."

"It’s a rather handsome middle-aged man.

"I have no idea who he is."

...

...

Moments later.

Upon receiving such significant news, the Black-clothed Guard called an urgent high-level meeting.

Twenty-eight people gathered to listen to Chen Xinyi’s verbal report.

Some furrowed their brows, others were expressionless, and still others stroked their chins.

Everyone was deeply considering what exactly Ms. Chen’s description implied.

"This intelligence... things have become even more complicated."

"The Blood Demon has begun reclaiming its anchors, and the Game’s motives remain as unpredictable as ever. However, it appears that it does indeed intend to cleanse the Blood Demon."

"The operation to cleanse the Blood Demon’s anchors must be accelerated."

The Blood Demon’s emergence had become a certainty in today’s world, prompting the utmost attention of global Supernatural Organizations!

After a series of bickerings (discussions), an initial intent for cooperation had been agreed upon; governments should not obstruct the investigation of Supernatural Organizations due to their own reasons. In other words, the aircraft of various national Supernatural Organizations would be able to communicate without hindrance.

Nations shared intelligence and swiftly began cleansing their "anchors."

Together, they fought the Blood Demon.

But cleansing the anchors would cause a considerable number of accidental injuries.

Deciding to take such an action was not easy.

Some countries’ organizations mobilized well, but others had poor mobilization capabilities.

Some had even been infiltrated; they attempted to conceal intelligence or even resist.

In short, these maddening complications left everyone extremely frustrated.

The world was vast, and the Blood Demon had infiltrated for a millennium; if the anchors were to be cleansed, it would have been done in peacetime. The seemingly irreparable ones were hardly resolved at the last minute.

Now, Chen Xinyi suddenly provided far more effective information, which was a surprise... no, a shock!

"According to her, the Blood Demon has surfaced in a parallel world adjacent to ours. Does that make cleansing the anchors pointless?"

"It does seem that way, but the reliability of this information is uncertain..."

"If cleansing the anchors is ineffective, we must prepare to confront it head-on."

The elderly Number 1 unconsciously perused Chen Xinyi’s profile, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

This woman is a blessing. Perhaps in the future, she could be involved in high-risk events?

Yes, the Blood Demon wasn’t the only crisis in the world; many peculiar phenomena had yet to be resolved.

Should her clearance be elevated?

If she likes playing the "Game" so much, let her play it. It might just bring some turnabout.

After Chen Xinyi finished reporting all her information, Number 23, responsible for archive organization, was the first to voice his opinion: "Based on available information, the Blood Demon might surface in our world in as soon as one week to one month."

"Predictions of divination, tarot, and stargazing both at home and abroad indicate a mass red fog event within a week, resulting in casualties over a million. After that, the red fog will gradually spread worldwide, causing enormous casualties."

Dark tides surged; in these peaceful times, the loss of high populations was unbearable.

Many humans were affected by the Blood Demon, the number of potential influencers unknown. All these influencers are accomplices in its surfacing.

Even the ginseng bloodlined Li Family was one of its anchors. We certainly can’t cleanse our own power.

Number 12 couldn’t help but interject: "But the Li Family’s consciousness has not been influenced."

Number 23 replied: "Unaffected consciousness and being anchored are two different matters. The powers of this anchoring are weak, yet numerous."

"It first projects its power onto some deeply affected humans. These individual places become anchors, further affecting the surrounding area of about one kilometer."

"It consumes these areas entirely through the ’red fog.’"

"In recent years, people influenced by the Blood Demon were mainly abroad, with fewer confused populations in our country, leading to less frequent red fog events. Certain regions overseas are overrun by disaster, becoming heavily affected areas. They’re frantically capturing those influenced by the Blood Demon... but even so... well, it doesn’t seem very meaningful."

Number 1 shook his head with a grave expression, "Alright. These are the known facts; there’s no point in schadenfreude. We too have regions that were damaged, haven’t we?"

"If the Blood Demon continues to surface, it is bound to affect us eventually. Earth is the only one we have; we can’t just look out for ourselves."

"Now, we need to focus on several points."

He spoke with great gravity: "First issue, the middle-aged man mentioned by Chen Xinyi, could he be a projection of the Game’s power?"

"Is the Game indirectly helping us?"

"Second issue, how to prevent the Blood Demon from surfacing, this is of utmost importance!"

The conference room fell silent for a moment, then Number 24 from the Great Science Academy, wearing glasses, said: "Regardless of the Game’s ultimate intention, in the short term, our goals align, which is to prevent the Blood Demon from surfacing."

"But what I find puzzling is that, the man didn’t bring anything with him, not even Strange Objects. Everything was borrowed from Chen Xinyi— a Rune Blade, an Immortal Bean, and a Holy Water Talisman from the West..."

"Well, with only things to hide behind, how can he hunt the Blood Demon? And it’s not about slaying a demon, but preventing its surfacing..."

"I’m indeed very interested in this point."

Number 24 spoke with a fervor, "Could the Game possess methods unknown to us? I’m really curious to see what it’ll do to the Blood Demon..."

Number 1 interjected, "Preventing the Blood Demon from surfacing is itself achieving the goal, not necessarily killing it."

Number 24 asserted, "I think it’s impossible, even if you have every advantage, it’s still not likely."

The question was baffling; thinking that mere trinkets could slay a god was as unrealistic as shooting down the moon with an arrow, a goal almost unattainable.

Even the Black-clothed Guard, with its rich foundation and the assistance of numerous World Level Strange Objects, found it very difficult to stop the Blood Demon’s surfacing, at a great cost.

Someone said, "Unless, the Game itself makes a move, abandoning the role of the Game Main Character... only then, using the Demon God’s methods, might it be possible to effectively prevent the Blood Demon."

The Game was the true Demon God, and the Game Main Character was just a mortal; the gap between them was as vast as that between a Titan Giant and an amoeba.
