Chapter 375: Chapter 285 Old Xu, Promise Me Not to Die_2

So, you do have some self-awareness... Xu Yingguang had no choice but to ask again,

"So, how do you feel yourself?"

"Hmm... very cold, so cold my butt hurts, and my pockets are also wet, very uncomfortable."

"...You better change your pants."

...

Anyway, the almost customary burst of Xiao Yi’s unexpected ideas had just come to an end.

"So, how are things on your end?"

Xu Yingguang asked Xiao Yi who was sitting across from him.

Of course, they weren’t sitting opposite each other on toilets, but on sofas, having a conversation in an official setting.

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi said, puzzled, "What do you mean by ’how are things’?"

"Analog Horror," Xu Yingguang patiently explained, "Didn’t I just go over Analog Horror with you again not long ago? Have you forgotten? No help for it, I’ll explain it to you once more."

"No, that’s not necessary," Xiao Yi waved his hand, "I know what Analog Horror means, I just don’t understand what you, Old Xu, are referring to."

"The last Kaidan Dungeon instance, the one where you and two others fought against Chosen Ones from other countries," Xu Yingguang spoke slowly and distinctly, "Actually, about half a month after you went in, our broadcast went to a white screen. We couldn’t see or hear anything and had no way of knowing what was happening on your end, so I wanted to ask what exactly happened over there."

Since it was the first time such an anomaly occurred with Analog Horror, Xu Yingguang wanted to gather some intelligence from Xiao Yi, who was directly involved.

Perhaps they could glean more information about Analog Horror from some hints and clues.

"Oh, that thing. Actually, nothing much happened, just that Fei Ye, Sheraya, and I took care of enemy after enemy as they appeared."

Xiao Yi counted off on his fingers as he recalled, "All three of us went at it together. Fei Ye was responsible for planning and strategizing, while Sheraya took care of the attack, damage soaking, support, healing, controlling, baiting, trash throwing, hauling cargo, driving, and cracking cold jokes to alleviate boredom. We ruthlessly thrashed those enemies, cutting down no less than fifty people! We bulldozed our way to the very end and secured the ultimate victory comfortably!"

"Ha..." Xu Yingguang sighed softly, then couldn’t help asking, "And what were you responsible for?"

"......"

Xiao Yi fell silent for a long time, finally finding the answer after deep contemplation.

"I was responsible for... strategizing. Though personally limited in combat, as a strategist, I’m quite strong."

"..." Xu Yingguang shook his head slightly, then asked again, "Setting aside those things, did you encounter anything strange or illogical during your push?"

"Illogical?" Xiao Yi thought it over, then replied, "Actually, yes. Suddenly, this guy emerged, saying he came especially to kill me."

After that, Xiao Yi shared with Xu Yingguang the story about Mr. Ke.

Though the story was interspersed with many abstract comments like, "Don’t know why the competitors, the enemies of Analog Horror, also sent someone to mess with me. ’Human emotions are so awesome, let’s rush them and break their ranks!’", fortunately, Xu Yingguang had been dealing with Xiao Yi for some time and had somewhat gotten used to his way of speaking, so he basically understood.

"I see..." Xu Yingguang nodded slightly, "So Analog Horror has its adversaries too. No wonder the broadcast turned out like that, it was specifically targeted. The entity you’re talking about... it’s called Dharma Tathagata, right?"

Although it was almost entirely unrelated to its formal name, Dependent Dharma Empty Way, Xiao Yi, who never intended to remember it, immediately nodded, "That’s right."

"Um..." Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but lower his head in contemplation, "But when you think about it, the Dharma Tathagata is being so rampant, hasn’t the Analog Horror noticed even a little bit? Even until the end, there was no particular reaction. This is somewhat inconsistent with the terrifying authority that Analog Horror has always demonstrated."

Xu Yingguang couldn’t help but recall what Xiao Yi had told him before: two people from Analog Horror had also come with the intent to kill Xiao Yi.

If Analog Horror is controlled by multiple individuals with personalities, then it means that among these individuals, it’s very possible that someone intentionally concealed and allowed this situation to happen.

Otherwise, with such an abnormal situation, if it were due to an external enemy, Analog Horror should have already reacted and taken countermeasures; they couldn’t possibly be so incompetent.

If it wasn’t for someone deliberately orchestrating this from behind the scenes, then it would indeed be too strange.

It seemed that there was internal strife within Analog Horror too, with individuals harboring ulterior motives, and possibly even colluding with external enemies.

"Right..."

As Xu Yingguang was contemplating this possibility, Xiao Yi spoke up again:

"I remembered something, that Mr. Ke said, my existence seems to benefit Analog Horror’s objectives, and since he couldn’t defeat Analog Horror, he could only target me."

"Analog Horror’s objectives?" Xu Yingguang’s face turned serious at once.

This wasn’t any minor issue, after all, no one knows what Analog Horror is up to on Blue Star.

Only by understanding the objectives of Analog Horror can Blue Star formulate strategies to resist them.

"So, did you ask that Dharma whatever, what Analog Horror’s objectives are?" Xu Yingguang also eagerly inquired.

"I wanted to ask, but alas..." Xiao Yi let out a sigh, "After being messed with so many times, of course, I wanted to understand their objectives. However, just when I was about to ask, that guy suddenly stopped talking and started trying to kill me. It was as if someone had intentionally designed it to target me. So... I couldn’t get the answer to what their objectives were."

"Is that so?" Xu Yingguang was also somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing that could be done.

Perhaps, rather than hearing from other entities, it would be more likely for humans to come up with the answer themselves, to better understand the thoughts of Analog Horror and thereby better formulate strategies... Xu Yingguang consoled himself internally.

Xu Yingguang had asked all he wanted to and was planning to leave so as not to disturb Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi called out to Xu Yingguang, asking, "Speaking of which, Old Xu, since you won’t let me leave the Country, you should at least let me know how Fei Ye and Sheraya are doing, right?"

"That’s true." Xu Yingguang replied, "You don’t have to worry, they’re doing very well. Sheraya is busy with his coronation, and as for Fei Ye... although the live stream was interrupted, she gained immense popularity and respect in the New Lighthouse based on her performance in the first half, and now she’s practically the de facto leader of the New Lighthouse."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi was relieved, "Then that’s good."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go ahead and get busy... Cough, cough! Cough!"

Suddenly, Xu Yingguang started coughing, and it was not an ordinary cough but an exceptionally violent one.

Xiao Yi was also panicked and quickly asked, "Old Xu, what’s wrong with you? Maybe you should wait and get busy later."

"It’s nothing..." Xu Yingguang caught his breath and said, "I’ve checked, it’s just a minor cold, after I’m done with my tasks, I’ll rest."

However, Xiao Yi still couldn’t help but worry and said,

"Old Xu, promise me, won’t you? Don’t die."

"Don’t worry, I won’t die," Xu Yingguang gave a wry smile, "At least not until we’ve completely resolved the issue of Analog Horror... I absolutely won’t die."
