Chapter 212: Chapter 196 "Pan Hao, Who Professed Love for Dragons
The two were in the conference hall, deep in conversation; from Pan Hao’s expression, he seemed somewhat shocked?
Wang Hao was a bit puzzled.
"How did these two get mixed up together? A chance encounter?"
"And this Feng Ling, she hasn’t become one of my game characters, which isn’t quite right."
That was certainly strange.
She was young and pretty, and flat-chested to boot; how come she hadn’t turned into a game character? Given the game developers’ usual practice to prevent censorship, all the important female characters tended to be flat-chested.
All of a sudden!
Wang Hao’s heart skipped a beat, and he widened his eyes!
He saw, for a split second in the CG animation, a faint wisp of fog emanate from the top of Feng Ling’s head as Pan Hao turned around.
This patch of black fog seemed to have a wisdom of its own, cautiously sensing the world around it.
Yet Feng Ling herself was completely unaware.
He couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, his blood pressure rising.
"This woman... the plot is quite interesting."
"She thinks she’s human, but in reality, is she the anchor of an unknowing Demon God? Only by deceiving herself can she deceive others?"
Of course, this fact was already discovered by "me."
After all, the player is omniscient and omnipotent.
Or perhaps "my" own intent was to turn the situation on its head, setting a trap to make the unknowing Demon God invest a massive amount of power, creating a primary anchor?
"It’s not impossible... but what should be done about it?"
Wang Hao frowned in thought.
"Pan Hao, you hang in there, don’t kick the bucket!"
In the following animation, Pan Hao seemed to be on guard, even going so far as to run into a special room and offer sacrifices to his ancestors’ spiritual tablets.
After settling the young girl in a hotel, Old Pan did something that took Wang Hao by surprise—he called the police!
...
Pan Hao looked tense and called the police directly!
...
"Gah!" Wang Hao laughed in surprise, thinking that Pan Hao would bring some special twist, but he just went ahead and called the cops.
The old guy sure knew the score, aware of his own limitations.
Think about it, is calling the cops really a bad thing?
Actually, it’s great!
...
(Saint oh Saint, I simply can’t handle this woman.)
(My abilities are too weak, I can only leave it to the national authorities. It’s not that I want to run away, don’t blame me.)
Pan Hao mumbled to himself.
Although he worshiped saints day and night, always dreaming of rising to the challenge, longing for a new and terrifying adventure,
At this moment, he felt a fear akin to "the man who professed love for dragons but recoiled at the real creature."
After all, he was just a mortal, unable to handle overly difficult tasks.
It’s important for the little guys to know their own limitations!
"Yes, that’s right, this woman’s origins are unclear, she has no ID card! And she carries weapons of a dangerous nature."
(That should be fine to say...)
Pan Hao dared not reveal too much on the phone, acutely aware that many pieces of information needed to be "subtle."
The lady who picked up the call didn’t seem too bright, which made him somewhat irritable.
"Sir, first, I need to register your ID card, personal details, and home address. Your name? And this cell phone number, it seems it isn’t registered under your ID information."
Old Pan’s facial muscles twitched and he blurted out, "She seems to have those special abilities... just one glare from her, and I almost passed out! She can also throw knives, really accurate! You know what special abilities are, right?"
"Sir, are you suggesting... she is carrying certain prohibited weapons?"
"Yes, yes, yes, she’s now inside a hotel... a woman without any identity information... a Superpower User, do you get it or not? I’m being very straightforward here."
Pan Hao grew increasingly annoyed: "You need to call someone more capable over here, best to escalate it to your superiors. You do know what superiors are, don’t you? Don’t tell me you don’t know what the Black-clothed Guard is; I’m telling you to report it right away, understand?!"
"...My name is Pan Hao, just mention my name and the Black-clothed Guard will come at once. Can you afford to delay matters?!"
Startled by his shout, the operator froze on the line.
Pan Hao hung up the phone angrily and tossed the SIM card directly into the trash can.
He had only reported a general emergency, and it might take a while for someone to show up.
Then he dialed another number and called out, "Honey, when does the plane to Hawaii arrive? Let’s go on vacation right now. Yes, immediately, the whole family."
He couldn’t afford to provoke the Black-clothed Guard who were likely to pester him.
Time to slip away.
Pan Hao paced back and forth on the sidewalk, feeling somewhat uneasy and anxious.
After a while, he made another call: "Forget it, you go on the trip, I’ll just stay at home. After all, this matter... is very important."
...
That strange sequence of events came to an end there.
Poor Feng Ling might get "arrested" by the Black-clothed Guard. Pan Hao might also be "arrested."
Of course, it might not be a bad thing.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, was looking forward to the subsequent developments even more.
How easy could it be to capture an important anchor of an unknown Demon God?
He took a deep breath and pondered over the next piece of information.
[You have obtained a clue (2/4) to the Demon God from the otherworldly "Moon of Illusion".]
[You have gained a small amount of information about the "Moon of Illusion".]
[Some of the items carried by the game character "Feng Ling" will be transferred to subsequent game scenes: red high heels, a special firewood knife, and fragments of a box (contaminated Mithril weighing 21.29 kilograms).]
"Ah, what about those security guard shoes, aren’t they ordinary items? Not Strange Objects?"
"What is the purpose of these items..."
Wang Hao opened the information on the "Moon of Illusion" and scrutinized it carefully.
"Moon of Illusion: Demon God Level, abilities: ’Reality to Illusion Conversion’ and ’Concept Rewrite’."
This series of introductions was rather straightforward, yet it could give rise to a vast amount of content.
For example, the Blood Demon’s ability increases lifespan but weakens the human spiritual power, hence a myriad of bizarre and thousands of strange phenomena emerged.
The abilities of the "Moon of Illusion" could similarly give rise to more unusual spiritual phenomena.
What astonished Wang Hao even more was that the "Moon of Illusion" had been invading the world he controlled for more than a day or two, but had not found a suitable anchor point until now.
This kind of invasion attempt had left many marks in history.
[Current investigation results are as follows:]
[In 1975, the legendary Japanese Kabuki actor Bando Mitsugoro was influenced by the ’Moon of Illusion’ and ate four servings of pufferfish liver, subsequently dying from poisoning. The liver is considered the most poisonous part of a pufferfish, but Bando Mitsugoro believed he was immune to all poisons. During the attempt, he was poisoned to death.]
"Is this ’Delusion’ ability turning people into lunatics?"
Wang Hao pondered for a moment, looking at the information in front of him. "The next task might be too difficult, so the game has provided some information in advance."
He thought of a term that might explain it well, "cognitive contamination."
This strange Demon God can cause a series of delusional symptoms.
The reason this invasion is considered a failure is because Bando Mitsugoro really died from the pufferfish liver... for unknown reasons, perhaps because the pufferfish toxin as a physical reality was too powerful.
He died, and the effort the "Moon of Illusion" put in naturally went to waste.
A successful invasion would not have resulted in Bando Mitsugoro’s death; on the contrary, he would have gained a real "Immune to Hundred Poisons" ability.
At the same time, this "delusional syndrome" would become contagious, potentially leading more and more people to try eating pufferfish liver, believing themselves "Immune to Hundred Poisons."
As more and more people become "Immune to Hundred Poisons," the power of the "Moon of Illusion" spreads widely."
"Even the concept that ’pufferfish liver is poisonous’ may be rewritten to ’the toxicity of pufferfish liver is bearable by humans,’ or ’pufferfish liver is non-toxic.’"
"In this way, a false world is born, and as mankind slowly accepts this concept, the ’Moon of Illusion’s’ control over this world will deepen. It will then have a firm foothold in this world."
Wang Hao scratched the back of his head. True to being a Demon God Level being, this ability was terrifying!
Of course, this event hadn’t actually happened; it was just Wang Hao’s series of inferences about the abilities of the "Moon of Illusion."
Regardless, he furrowed his brow slightly.
"This Demon God’s ability is strong and not easy to understand, much more abstract than the Blood Demon."
"Is it through the spread of rumors that power is propagated... creating rumors, making them come true, thus affecting the whole world."
