Chapter 78: Chapter 74: Vague Memories

The risk associated with the "Game" has been gradually decreasing, and the "Blood Demon" has again become the primary target of vigilance for the Black-clothed Guard.

Of course, the rise of a Subordinate Demon God is complex. Humanity has had very little experience encountering such massive entities.

"Umm... It took hundreds of years for the seventh Dragon Ball to appear, and for the eighth, it might be decades more?"

Thinking of this, Lu Tianming, who was on paid leave, closed his eyes, "I’m going to sleep for a bit; feel free to do as you please."

He was always such a calm and composed person.

The noise in the headphones was quite chaotic.

"We can’t wait for the eighth Dragon Ball to appear before we take action; by then, it will be too late!"

"... In a certain foreign region, there have been small-scale red fog incidents, resulting in the disappearance of hundreds of people."

"This accident happened abroad and has garnered a lot of attention from Supernatural Organizations. Compared to before, the red fog has expanded. Anyone who enters the red fog never returns, and all the buildings within it have disappeared. It’s said that the place where the red fog appeared was a hospital that, under the banner of technology, promised to restore people’s youth."

"Aye, the Blood Demon has been stirring up trouble abroad for some time now."

"The people overseas are greedy, oblivious to the price that comes with sudden longevity. Many of the wealthy have used certain supernatural effects to extend their lives, which has accelerated its rise."

"This phenomenon exists among the wealthy class in our country as well..."

All the attendees were earnestly discussing the matter. The Black-clothed Guard held a lofty position but could not perceive everything in society.

Embracing capital means accepting its benefits as well as its drawbacks. Moreover, morality itself cannot withstand the test, and even the Black-clothed Guard Investigators themselves are at risk of corruption and decay.

With the conversation reaching this point, an elderly among them deeply sighed, "Regardless, suppressing the Blood Demon will be an important task for our era."

However, nobody had ever truly found its core entity.

Thus, actually resolving this anomaly was extremely difficult.

Someone suggested, "Maybe we can use the ’Game’ to find the entity of the Blood Demon? Isn’t it biased towards our human side?"

"But how to utilize it? The ’Game’ is not under our control."

"Players, we must find the players quickly!"

Thus, the direction of the discussion shifted to finding the elusive and fantastical "Players."

Lu Tianming, listening to everyone’s discussion through the Conch Headphones, suddenly shook his head.

"Unrealistic, unrealistic."

Going on a business trip had inadvertently reduced many of his worries.

He had wanted to return early, but now... lying down for a while longer seemed nice too.

After all, he had completed such an important task; surely he didn’t need to investigate the Blood Demon anymore, right? The world was full of geniuses, and it was time for these geniuses to make some contributions.

However, soon enough, the conversation turned to him, and someone asked, "Number 12, you’re someone who fled from Paradise. You lived there for a while during your childhood."

"You should know more about the Blood Demon, right?"

Why me again?

Lu Tianming opened his eyes and said, "Everything I know has already been recorded in the files."

"As for the rest, I really can’t remember. How many can recall things from when they were six years old?"

"I just remember a village enveloped in white fog, an unknown grandmother who kidnapped me, and a brother who descended like a Heavenly God. I don’t remember anything else..."

The voice in the headphones said, "But that information is very important, extremely so! If it comes to it, you can go to the ’Game’ for a soul Repair surgery. The organization will reimburse the expenses."

Lu Tianming gave a wry smile, "My soul isn’t damaged; I’ve just naturally forgotten some things. Besides, forgotten memories can’t be restored by soul Repair, right?"

"I only remember, back then when I woke up each day, I had an intense, almost extreme... Sixth Sense that I wanted to escape from there."

"Every moment, I endured malice from all directions, but I was just six years old and powerless to do anything. If I left, I would have died immediately."

"A sympathetic brother took me away from the panic... I must’ve mentioned this before, right?"

Everyone listened intently to his recollections.

"He shielded me from the storm with a strength beyond imagination... I just followed behind him, stumbling along. I’ve forgotten some of the details."

"It wasn’t until after I joined the Black-clothed Guard and conducted a post-event analysis that I became aware of the bizarre and terrifying nature of Paradise. You should know, whether I am a human from this world or something unknown. I might come from Parallel Worlds, but actually, it doesn’t matter..."

A few of the analytical experts nodded slightly; Lu Tianming did not have any genetic relatives in Great Xia Country.

He was likely a human from one of the Parallel Worlds who had crossed into the current world.

Naturally, this issue wasn’t a big one.

As long as he was human and there was no reproductive isolation, it was fine.

Lu Tianming had taken root in this world, even had children; it didn’t matter where he came from.

"In any case, my ’brother’ in the horrific village forcefully avoided all disasters and dragged me along, burdensome as I was. I can barely imagine his strength."

"All clues, including the last letters left by Comrade Li Xianfeng, were discovered by my brother."

"Without him, we would’ve been clueless and helpless against the Blood Demon. It was his existence that gave us some information."

Someone in the headphones responded, "Hmm, you’re right, but don’t sell yourself short... Even if we were totally ignorant about the Blood Demon, we would still take actions, trying to learn something."

Lu Tianming was now forty-five years old. As a true S-class Investigator, he had experienced various bizarre scenarios and learned many of the world’s mysteries.

But when he thought back to his "older brother" and the once "Paradise," he still felt like a child facing an unknown world—confused, panicked, and with an indescribable sense of curious excitement.

Indeed, compared to the unknown, how little humanity knows...

The more one knows, the more one realizes how much they do not know; the more one knows, the more fear they feel.

To this day, his hazy memories still could not comprehend how he had survived.

His brother, four years his senior, was as powerful as a Heavenly God descending to earth!

With such Godly Wisdom, even at the age of forty-five, he found it difficult to comprehend, let alone when he was just six years old.
