Chapter 312: Chapter 261: The Unfinished Script—I’m Back!

The Giant Millstone · Internet Cafe Owner · Internet Friend · Wang Hao was furrowing his brow, deeply troubled.

The sound of rain outside grew louder, the pitter-patter of the light rain compelled him to rise and open the window. A natural breeze wafted in, and conveniently, there was no need to turn on the air conditioning.

There were many pieces of paper on the desk, all clues gathered so far. Many aspects still did not fit together, though some had already been sorted out.

"Let’s start from the beginning and go over it all!" he said.

"The first point, the ’Dragon’ attacked ’Paradise,’ indicating that ’Paradise’ was the location of the ’Moon of Illusion’ itself, the Moon."

"Combining the external information brought by the previous few scripts, I can determine that Paradise is on the ’Moon’, that is, aboard the gigantic spaceship of the prehistoric civilization."

"Thus, my summoning of the ’Dragon’ to attack Paradise was a completely wrong approach."

"It’s very likely that Paradise was the prison holding the ’Moon of Illusion,’ and after the Dragon destroyed it, the ’Moon of Illusion’ directly broke through the seal and escaped..."

But how could the Moon of Illusion be sealed?

No matter how he thought about it, no good ideas came to mind.

Moreover, the papers written by Mr. "Xiang Hao" decades ago also gave Wang Hao a baffled feeling.

He scratched his hair in frustration.

"Let’s analyze the factions within Paradise..."

"The security faction is very likely to be directly controlled by the Moon of Illusion. The various rules within Paradise are its imitation of humanity, its fabrications; the monster faction is likewise under its control. Both sides perform in a farcical play, ceaselessly weeding out humans who can’t collect Crystal Stones, then luring in newcomers."

"On the contrary, the massively populated human faction is a mixed bag. The Abnormal Foundation also has a small number of warriors holding firm within Paradise."

"The purpose of the Moon of Illusion should be to beguile humans, constantly picking up Crystal Stones for it..."

Analyzing up to this point, it seemed the truth was merely as thick as a sheet of paper.

A light poke, and it would easily break through!

Wang Hao held his breath.

"Crystal Stones" might be a type of special Ideal Energy on the planet-sized spaceship. Even the Moon of Illusion itself couldn’t detect the "Crystal Stones"—only humanity itself could see them.

Therefore, it needed to use human subjectivity and agency to achieve its goals.

It allowed overly generous, non-standard Paradise rules.

"This enemy is actually extremely stingy; based on the usual behavior of the ’Moon of Illusion,’ even if humans uttered one bad word about it, it would kill. Places like Qingtian Hospital and the freakish elevator, the truth behind them is simply cruel."

"But inside Paradise, it transformed into a well-behaved child. Humans discussed and slandered without fear, yet it endured! It surely had great designs, so it bided its time."

Wang Hao thought of the key point, his pupils slightly dilating, "Then, what is it aiming for that it would forcefully endure?"

There was only one answer: to escape its seal!

It wanted to escape its seal!

The act of humans collecting Crystal Stones could help it escape the seal, thus it had no choice but to endure!

"Crystal Stones—the key, the authority!"

In Paradise, only humans themselves could unlock the seal they had set!

Realizing this crucial point, Wang Hao’s heart tightened, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked towards the gradually clearing sky, the sun still rising in the east and setting in the west, birds flying across the vast sky above.

Prosperity and decline are always two sides of the same coin; prosperity is but fleeting, while decline is eternal. Prosperity is merely to gather strength for decline’s return, to make the coming of decay that much heavier.

In the decaying and degenerating Paradise, humans lived a heavenly life, lost in an intoxicated dream.

Yet, those watchful eyes hidden from sight witnessed the comings and goings of people, bearing witness as humans steadily unsealed the powerful seal set by their ancestors.

How terrifying is this!

When the seal was ultimately broken, that would be the day of human extinction!

Wang Hao took a deep breath and continued his analysis.

"Those who have never collected a Crystal Stone are seen as thorns in its side, disruptive elements, easily killed!"

"One can imagine, the warriors of the Abnormal Foundation are few and probably have collected Crystal Stones. That’s how they have managed to hold out in Paradise for so long. The beggar, Lou Ronggen, is a plant arranged by the Foundation. It’s not that he can’t collect Crystal Stones but... he must stay on the second level, living a life of destitution. He’s here waiting for subsequent deployment plans."

"In the past few decades, they have deployed a series of sealing plans in Paradise."

"I’ve got to figure out what exactly this plan is before considering my next move."

With these things cleared up, the worldview suddenly became complete.

Beneath the pressing clouds of immense evil, there will always be some humbly struggling.

Just like the old monk’s hint in the prologue.

"It ultimately thinks that every human is but a maggot in the sewer."

"But it will never understand that there are always some maggots willing to crawl out of the gutter with all their might and gaze upon the stars in the night sky."

"We are those stars."

...

Wang Hao’s heart surged as he started a new round of the Game.

The fifth Reincarnation... began!

...

It was the same familiar little cave.

Next to him lay Comrade Lou Ronggen—a beggar, a warrior of the Abnormal Foundation—savoring mushrooms with gusto.

Even the most perfect fly is just a fly; an imperfect warrior is still a warrior.
