Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!
Chapter 165 - 154: Blood Demon Incident, Resolved!

Chapter 165: Chapter 154: Blood Demon Incident, Resolved!

Auntie’s expression was somewhat reflective, "That’s true, bad influences like shady friends are the worst! Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, one quickly learns all that."

"Especially the rich second generation, they lack willpower. Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling is already bad enough, but once they get into drugs, they’re truly done for."

"But let me tell you, our area has good feng shui," Auntie spoke as if revealing a secret, her tone quieting down.

"Look at the college entrance exam results from previous years, our area’s scores are always a notch above other places! There are hardly any crimes, isn’t that the influence of good feng shui?"

The young Black-clothed Guard chuckled twice.

Is this really a matter of feng shui? It’s about money!

Where wealthy people gather, of course their children will have good exam results; of course there will be fewer crimes. In this era with surveillance everywhere, who could even attempt a break-in theft.

After investigating the recent situation and not finding any major concerns, he wrote a brief report.

The report emphasized the "beautiful girl’s" visit.

However, the report didn’t cause much of a stir.

Because recently, the Black-clothed Guards have been too busy, still primarily occupied with the "Blood Demon."

Interactions both domestic and international, targeted "cleansing," the added history in Gaia’s consciousness, the investigation of the missing Pan Hao, the follow-up rituals for the "nameless" Saint and Li Xianfeng... They were too busy.

Too many things to handle!

Threats to security below Grade C could not possibly be taken into account!

...

"I’m so full!"

Han Xiaoyue was truly stuffed, slumped on the couch, her face flushed red.

She actually wanted to wash the dishes, but finding herself dizzy, was completely unable to move, just like she was drunk, her entire being seemed to float amid the clouds.

"You should be like the girls in anime, when enjoying delicious food, your eyes light up and you say, ’It’s so tasty.’"

"And after eating, you say, ’Thank you for the meal.’"

Wang Hao was very satisfied with his cooking skills, "How do they say it in Japanese? ’Dog eats say what horse.’"

Han Xiaoyue said, "Because I feel those kinds of girls are a bit fake, what food can make your eyes shine? It has to be incredibly delicious, probably something like the Jade Emperor’s immortal brew."

"Seeing that kind of scene makes me feel they are pretending to be cute to gain boys’ favor. Even web novels don’t write like that anymore, no wonder anime continues with this trend, it’s strange they haven’t declined."

"You have a point! A sharp critique," Wang Hao nodded in agreement.

He found Han Xiaoyue interesting not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was intelligent and had an interesting soul.

He urged comrade zero on his smartphone again; now that his female employees were all ready, and the internet café hadn’t opened yet, it was quite unreasonable.

The other party hurriedly replied, "The business license has been processed, I’ll bring it to you in the next couple of days! I just forgot about it these days."

"That’s great, thank you!"

"Don’t mention it, don’t mention it."

With Han Xiaoyue engrossed in her phone, unable to help due to being stuffed, Wang Hao had no choice but to wash the dishes himself.

It wasn’t too much of a hassle, actually. Just rinse the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.

"Having eaten and drunk our fill, a new journey begins."

"I wonder if the settlement is complete."

He put his helmet back on.

Upon logging in, a piece of good news popped up.

[Congratulations, the Seven Stars difficulty mission "Life and Death" has been successfully settled!]

[You can now watch the grand finale.]

He clicked the [Play]button.

The screen began to show the final movie ending.

Within the thick white fog...

Six members of the human expedition team, along with the "Glutton" Xu Zhiqiang, made their difficult way into the village.

They were far stronger than Pan Hao’s Civilian Expedition Team, fully armed with gas masks; their appearances completely indistinguishable.

A large number of Strange Objects, sensing the human village, poured out from the village.

All of a sudden, the style of the scene changed dramatically!

The steam machine gun mounted on the car spat out torrents of flames, and dense Rune Bullets penetrated the crazed oncoming Strange Objects.

All those peculiar things fell into pools of blood.

Of course, they weren’t completely dead, many of the creatures were still twitching, merely temporarily incapacitated.

"Holy shit, can it even be done this way!" Old Wang was stunned, "The humans on this side aren’t weak at all..."

The style then abruptly shifted to intense combat.

Even if he joined in the Game, he’d only be an extra on the sidelines, like the "Glutton" Xu Zhiqiang, merely standing by watching.

"Good thing I didn’t play..."

But now, watching it as a film was actually quite entertaining. The supernatural Rune Bullets couldn’t kill all the Strange Objects, and what followed was a passionate close-quarters battle.

"This clothing texture, is it a nano-protection suit? Just like the ones in anime."

"Is that woman Chen Xinyi? Heh, heh."

The reason he could recognize it was Ms. Chen was due to the nano-protection suit greatly accentuating the figure; Ms. Chen had a flat chest, too easy to recognize, wow... Did the Game Training Camp have any devices to make one’s figure fuller... Wang Hao wondered wildly.

"What’s that thing on the car, Power Armor? Rocket launcher?"

Wang Hao watched, dumbfounded, at the various high-tech products on the car.

Look at how they explore, crushing through with high tech, step by step!

Ordinary anomalies are dealt with rockets or Rune Bullets, turning the foe into a beehive.

The stronger anomalies require the use of Strange Objects.

Of course, high-tech in some worlds might be disrupted by supernatural interference.

Hence, this group wasn’t wearing Power Armor, as it would spell doom if it broke down at a crucial moment.

Moreover, these anomalies have gathered here over the past 40 years.

Without old monsters that have survived hundreds or thousands of years, their strength doesn’t compare to the Paradise Village of the past.

"Only national-level expedition teams could afford to play with such things."

"Paradise Village has turned into a gathering place for rubbish and rejects. Tsk tsk."

At the edge of the ancient well grew a bizarre tree, roughly 15 meters tall.

A mass of blood vessels twisted together, forming the shape of a human head within the trunk.

Its branches and leaves writhed, indiscriminately sapping the Vitality of nearby life forms. Even just getting too close might affect one’s lifespan.

Yet, the six Black-clothed Guard members bowed deeply before the tree.

It was a salute from the depths of their hearts.

"Is this the tree he turned into?" an elder remarked wistfully, "It’s grown so much in forty years."

"We’ve been waiting to deal with this."

"Yes, it’s the responsibility of our generation."

Over forty years, this tree had become the heart of the struggle between two Subordinate Demon Gods.

As both sides kept pouring in power, the tree grew increasingly potent.

Now, it had reached an Evil God Level.

A tangible "Evil God" was rather tough for humanity to deal with—not something that could be blown up with a simple rocket launcher. A minimum, an atomic or Hydrogen Bomb is needed.

"What should we do next, Your Excellency?"

"If we rashly attack this tree, we’ll suffer the insane retaliation of the tree and the two Subordinate Demon Gods."

Normally, this tree simply remained fixed by the well, not very aggressive.

Offering sacrifices to it granted a certain amount of well water.

But attacking it would provoke a vicious counterblow both physically and mentally.

Thus, over forty years, the anomalies outside the village developed a complex set of unwritten rules.

In any case, the pivot of the anchoring was still this tree.

"Everyone wants this journey to be safe and would rather not take excessive risks," said the old man number one, "So let’s stick to the most solid plan to get the Blood Demon to sink, reducing the risks on Earth’s side."

"Strange Objects are meant to be used when brought out."

After all, these Strange Objects were not assets of the Black-clothed Guard; using them was no big deal.

Once the decision was made, a member of the team wrapped the bizarre tree with a white Corpse Wrapping Cloth using Telekinesis.

In an instant, the branches and leaves ceased to move!

All supernatural fluctuations came to a halt.

"Such a treasure exists!" Old Wang marveled at the film, surprised by humanity’s profound heritage.

This bizarre tree, with the continuous power fed by the two Demon Gods, was definitely a high-level anomaly! Yet it was subdued in a moment!

Of course, it was also fortunate that it was just a tree.

If it were a sea, the Corpse Wrapping Cloth would be useless.

Multiple people, with the help of some slicing-type Strange Object, uprooted the great tree and placed it in a sturdy bronze coffin.

A large amount of blood oozed from the branches and squirmed towards the humans, looking terrifying.

"Don’t touch this blood; it might have soul-toxic properties, and contact could lead to instant death."

"Figure out a way to extract some fluid for future research."

Miss Chen’s scalp tingled at the sight of this blood. She used a large straw to draw some of the red liquid and sealed it into a Jade Bottle.

"Done, we’ve got about a liter of red fluid."

More yellow paper talismans were plastered heavily onto the bronze coffin.

The tree was temporarily sealed, and that was just temporary indeed, for the Corpse Wrapping Cloth was only a replica and could be broken through after a while.

The people bowed once more towards the coffin.

Without the death of a Saint, the matter was not so simple.

Then they spent some time collecting the bodies of the anomalies in the village and placed them in other coffins.

"Let’s send them all away; they’re also anchors."

"Don’t we keep some?"

"Don’t bother, sigh."

The elder took out a Dimension Fragment, a mysterious bead that would transport items deep into the Etheric Abyss.

Of course, where exactly it would end up, no one knew.

Once the Dimension Fragment was activated, it radiated splendid light, and it was as if a fourth dimension appeared in space; the large bronze coffin was sucked into it.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished.

After all this, the main anchors were removed, and the red mist that had spread across the world began to dissipate rapidly.

The Blood Demon incident, resolved!
