Chapter 60: Chapter 57: Contact with the Subordinate Demon God [Blood Demon] (4000 words)_2

In other words, Li Qingshan was somewhat "righteous and gallant"!

He truly was willing to sacrifice his life for "the organization."

Chen Xinyi had never seen anyone so righteous and gallant, probably because the education of ordinary people is completely different from that of someone from a Supernatural Family like Li Qingshan.

Lu Tianming didn’t continue to lecture her, having an energetic woman here to liven up the atmosphere was actually quite nice, if he were to only stay with Li Qingshan all the time, he might have died of boredom.

"All in all, you need to know some basic knowledge, learn more in your daily life, and try to transform it into instinct."

"The first very important piece of knowledge: what is ’Contact’?"

"I know, I just learned it yesterday!" Chen Xinyi raised a hand.

In the professional jargon of the Black-clothed Guard, "Contact" isn’t the traditional physical level of touching, but rather a broader concept at the level of Idealism.

Since every supernatural phenomenon has different rules, the ways of "Contact" naturally also vary.

For example, the "Turtle Soup Game" which Chen Xinyi personally experienced, joining that game group was "Contact" with the strange and murderous rules.

"What needs to be noted is, Contact often implies lethal risk."

"Every Investigator needs to try their best to avoid ’Contact’ with the strange murderous rules."

At this point, Lu Tianming sighed, "All strange entities will only attack life forms they have ’Contacted’; they will likely ignore those who have not made Contact."

"In the Turtle Soup Game, your neighbors in the same building, they didn’t join the game group, so they weren’t attacked, right?"

"Um, indeed it’s like that..." Chen Xinyi nodded vigorously.

She then raised her head and looked towards the distant sky, tilting her head and asked, "What about the ’Game’? What are the rules of the ’Game’?"

Lu Tianming said, "This kind of Demon God Level strange entity is bound to be governed by relatively complex rules, we have not yet discovered the ’Game’s’ murderous rules, therefore we believe it’s a relatively benign Demon God..."

"We’ve only discovered part of the ’Game’s’ behavioral rules. You two were supposed to die, but you were revived by the ’Game’, and thus appeared here. Being already dead is a necessary condition to become ’game characters’, but it is not a sufficient condition."

"The rules of the ’Game’ are bound to be extremely complex and diverse, requiring prolonged exploration to ascertain."

"Alright."

The thought that she was supposed to have died but was revived here made Chen Xinyi feel somewhat uneasy.

However, she quickly became carefree again.

Since she was here, she might as well settle in.

Being manipulated by the ’Game’ seemed acceptable, as it didn’t appear to have much malice.

At least, that’s what she believed.

Lu Tianming continued, "To contain, deal with, or kill a certain strange entity, it’s best to stealthily find its true form and use some targeted Strange Objects."

"Or you could get the strange entity to ’Contact’ another strange entity’s murderous rules, causing them to fight against each other. Strange entities generally don’t recognize kin, they have no concept of relatives."

"Let’s take a simple example, we’ll assume for now that the ’Game’ doesn’t have a rule for immediate retaliation upon being harmed."

"Even if it’s of the Demon God Tier, if we have the ability to summon another Demon God ’God’ here, then the ’Game’ will be ’Contacted’ by ’God’s’ attack rules."

"Mm-hm!"

’God’s’ rules are quite simple, she already knew them, those who see him die.

"Even if both are of the same Tier, the ’Game’ will still be killed by ’God’."

"Because the ’Game’ has not ’Contacted’ ’God’, but ’God’ has ’Contacted’ the ’Game’, their battle is not on equal terms."

"But what if ’God’s’ Tier were lower, only that of a Subordinate Demon God?" Chen Xinyi asked with keen interest.

Lu Tianming said very confidently, "The ’Game’ will still likely die."

Chen Xinyi asked again, "What if ’God’s’ Tier is even lower, only at the Evil God Level?"

"The ’Game’ can still be deadly, even if ’God’ is just an ordinary bizarre entity. There is a possibility of death in the ’Game’, provided that there is no rule of counterattack when no harm is taken."

"This is the power that comes with contact. It’s like a sniper duel; whoever spots the opponent first has a major advantage. The side that initiates the attack is absolutely dominant."

"I understand."

"But you must know, the stronger the Demon God, the more complete its rules and the less likely there are to be flaws. Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly survive for a long time in the deep layers of the Etheric Abyss. You must realize, since the word ’Abyss’ is included, the environment there must be extremely harsh."

Chen Xinyi nodded seriously, then took a deep breath, feeling incredibly exhilarated. She hadn’t expected that the combat between beings of strangeness would be a battle of rules against rules, a battle of contact against contact, fundamentally different from humans!

At this point, Lu Tianming took a deep breath: "I’m keeping you here because we need to conduct a high-risk experiment!"

"Here, you’ll need to ’contact’ a Subordinate Demon God that poses a huge threat—the ’Blood Demon’."

"With this, we need to determine the completeness of the ’Game’s rules... The first thing I need to tell you is, you might die."

Contact a Subordinate Demon God!!

Upon hearing this news, Chen Xinyi’s initially exhilarated heart suddenly cooled down.

In that instant, it was as if she had fallen into an ice hole, the plummeting ambient temperature causing the hair on her body to stand on end.

She looked at Investigator No. 12’s serious face... this was no joke!

Then she glanced at Li Qingshan who stood solemn and dignified like an unremarkable flask, possibly accustomed to this sort of mission, her superior did not express any opposition to the assignment.

"Li Qingshan, you may leave. You are not required to participate in this experiment, please return to reality."

"Understood." Li Qingshan’s figure disappeared from the training camp, his soul returning to the real world.

Chen Xinyi felt a strong sense of palpitation; she was about to face the crushing wheel of destiny in her life.

Joining the Black-clothed Guard was not about playing games, not about visiting Paradise, not about being a curious baby; she had to obey orders, to comply with the organization’s arrangement!

This feeling of palpitation made it impossible for her to stop, her whole body filled with an indescribable sense of pleasure as currents seemed to surge through her, numbing her entire being.

So, with a smile showing her two canines, she said, "Mr. 12, I accept the mission."

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true. Please start now."

Lu Tianming was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought Chen Xinyi would raise objections or doubts, but unexpectedly, this woman actually... seemed to be enjoying this?!

It was truly curious; did the ’Game’ have any requirements for personal qualities when selecting operatives?

Li Qingshan was undoubtedly a pillar of the Black-clothed Guard, with a firm will and decent quality.

This newcomer, Chen Xinyi... she also seemed to be quite decent?

He watched Li Qingshan leave the training camp and began to read memories from the Memory hard disk, speaking in a mechanical tone, "According to the information known so far, the ’Blood Demon’ is a very ’petty’ Demon God. In its rules, discussing its nature, calling its true name, communicating its rules, all might provoke its tendency to attack. ’Blood Demon’ is just a pseudonym."

"The more you know, the easier it is to be attacked by it."

"Now I must tell you... its entity lies within an unknown parallel dimension."

"This dimension is filled with a never-dispersing white fog."

"In the white fog, a natural village has formed!"

"The scenes within this natural village are unknown to us; all deep informants there have died. All communication must pass through the Memory hard disk. You are the only one who communicates without it now."

Chen Xinyi took a deep breath!

"A hundred years ago, during a certain Red Mist event, the Black-clothed Guard launched an investigation into the ’unknown dimension,’ dispatching a Class B Investigator. At that time, Black-clothed Guard tiers were divided into Class A, B, C, D. That Class B Investigator, an ancestor of Li Qingshan with extensive investigative experience, vanished in the mist, never to return."
