Chapter 57 Contact with the Second-Class Demon God [Blood Demon] (4000 words)
The internal meeting ended with lively discussion.
Five minutes later, Comrade No. 12 Lu Tianming, who was in the game training camp, received an order from the upper-level council: "Vigorously train new people, and before leaving, they are allowed to try high-risk experiments, especially high-risk experiments on blood demons."
"
"Oh, are those people finally opting for a more aggressive investigative approach?"
Lu Tianming was enjoying a piece of compressed biscuit that he had worked so hard to bring.
This kind of food tastes terrible, it's hard and a bit like bricks, but there is no other way. In order to save money, he can only eat this.
He has fallen in love with this training camp. The more he observes, the more he understands that if used well, [game] will bring unimaginable huge changes to mankind!
Even, humans can use it to achieve a more ambitious goal: exploring the etheric abyss!
That is the Aether Abyss, a much larger and more majestic world.
Even though [the game] is like Grandet, every function has to be charged, but he likes this kind of fair-trade neutral rules-based demon.
Whether it's 10 times the learning speed, various high-tech products, or something else...
Thinking of this, Lu Tianming took a deep breath and called Li Qingshan and Chen Xinyi over: "Two of you, after careful discussion, the upper management of Black Guard believes that [Game] is a candidate for initial cooperation."
"It seems to like to trade with visitors to make a little profit. Of course, the word 'like' is not appropriate to describe it. Its rules do not mind the arrival of visitors, which is an excellent point."
"So from now on, you two will become the main investigators investigating [the game], and you no longer need to be responsible for other matters."
"If [the game] forcibly controls you to do something, as long as it is not too harmful, we will help cover it up and will not hold you personally responsible."
Li Qingshan was silent for a few seconds and nodded with a heavy heart.
He was originally an important officer in the transatlantic division, responsible for tracking the "blood ginseng" case.
But now that the "blood ginseng" has been burned and the "elder" has been missing for many years, the change of mission is nothing.
Li Qingshan is just worried that his lack of ability will bring losses to the organization.
On the contrary, Chen Xinyi was careless and untroubled. She said "hmm" twice and a smile appeared on her face: "So I no longer need to pass the reserve assessment? I am responsible for demon-level events as soon as I come up. Really?"
Okay? Will I be punished if I am not competent?"
Li Qingshan said: "If you train for a while longer, there will be no problem in passing the assessment."
The 10 times training speed is really a bit intense. Even though Chen Xinyi was just an ordinary girl in the past, her physical fitness has been greatly improved in less than a week of physical training.
She has quite a lot of muscles on her arms, and her whole body looks toned and sassy.
The physique value has soared to 189, and it is quite difficult to go higher. After all, not everyone can reach the peak state of 300.
The most important thing is that she can eat with confidence in the real world, no longer has to worry about gaining weight, and can digest it perfectly no matter how much energy she consumes.
Lu Tianming took out the last cigarette, puffed on it twice, and said in a funny way: "Don't worry about that, you have a special status now, so special that I am a little jealous. Ms. Chen, you may not know the strength of this authority."
"The subtext of that sentence is that as long as you don't drop bombs in the city center, most things will be covered up by the organization, which is considered a very high status."
"The world is cruel. The Black Guards never seek to solve supernatural events without causing harm. Even if you do some bad things, steal things, rob, or even kill someone, as long as you blame it on [the game], the organization can only hold its nose."
admit."
"I, I, I... I am very righteous!" Chen Xinyi would stutter when she is nervous, "How could I, I... possibly commit robbery and murder?!"
"Haha, it's not that you will do bad things intentionally, but what should you do if [the game] controls you to kill people? So this permission is still necessary."
"What you lack now is basic knowledge and experience. The other issues are not big, but the mentality is a bit bigger."
Here, except breathing, which does not require money, and sleeping, which does not require money, all functions require money.
Buying cigarettes naturally costs money.
That's right, you can actually buy folk daily necessities in the game training camp.
But Lu Tianming didn't want to trade fairy beans for ordinary cigarettes, otherwise No. 28, who specialized in cultivating fairy beans, would cry and wipe his tears again.
"You can't be arrogant and complacent because of this. You don't have special talents or superpowers, and you have a disaster star physique. It's difficult to solve any weird problem you encounter. Your brain is not very smart and is not suitable for scientific research. You are too curious.
, there is a vague mentality of seeking death."
"It makes me look like a loser."
"Okay, from now on, Li Qingshan will be your superior. If you have any questions, please ask for advice. Don't seek death! No one can save you if you seek death!"
"I understand!" Chen Xinyi stood up straight and honestly.
But the crooked corners of her mouth betrayed her inner thoughts. Compared with the stern elder "Mr. No. 12," her peer Li Qingshan has a somewhat boring personality, but he is also a very good negotiator.
In other words, Li Qingshan is a bit "righteous"!
He is truly willing to devote his life to the "organization".
Chen Xinyi has never seen such a righteous person, maybe because the education of ordinary people is completely different from the education of a supernatural family like Li Qingshan.
Lu Tianming did not continue to lecture her. It would be nice to have an active woman to liven up the atmosphere here. If he just stayed with Li Qingshan for a long time, he might be suffocated to death.
"In short, you need to know some basic common sense, learn more in daily life, and turn it into instinct as much as possible."
“The first very important common sense: What is ‘contact’?”
"I know, I just learned it yesterday!" Chen Xinyi raised a hand.
In Heiyiwei's professional terminology, "contact" is not a traditional physical touch, but a broader spiritual concept.
Since the rules of each supernatural phenomenon are different, the method of "contact" is naturally different.
For example, Chen Xinyi has personally experienced the "Turtle Soup Game". Joining this game group is "exposure" to the weird rules of killing.
"It should be noted that contact often means a fatal crisis."
"Every investigator needs to try to avoid 'contact' with weird murder rules."
At this point, Lu Tianming sighed: "All weird things will only attack the living beings in contact. They will most likely ignore the living beings outside of contact."
"In Turtle Soup, your neighbors in the same building will not be attacked unless they join the game group, right?"
She raised her head again, looked at the sky in the distance, tilted her head and said, "What about the [game]? What are the rules of the [game]?"
Lu Tianming said: "This kind of demon-level weirdness must be composed of relatively complex rules. We have not discovered the killing rules of [the game] yet, so we believe that it is a relatively tolerant demon..."
"We only discovered part of the behavioral rules of [the game]. The two of you were originally supposed to be dead, but were forcibly revived by [the game], so you appeared here. People who were already dead are necessary to become 'game characters'
condition, but not a sufficient condition.”
"The rules of [the game] must be very complex and diverse, and require long-term exploration to determine them."
"All right."
Chen Xinyi felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she should have died but was resurrected here.
But soon, she became careless.
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it.
If it's just being controlled by [the game], does it seem acceptable? Anyway, it doesn't seem to have much malicious intent.
At least, that's what she thought.
Lu Tianming continued: "If you want to contain, deal with, and kill a certain monster, it's best to find its body without anyone noticing and use some targeted strange objects."
"Or let this monster come into contact with other monsters' killing rules, and let a fight happen between monsters. Monsters usually don't recognize each other, and they have no concept of kinship."
"To give a simple example, let's assume for the time being that [the game] does not have a rule to fight back immediately when receiving damage."
"Even if it is a demon god, if we have the ability to summon another demon god [God] here, then [the game] will come into contact with [God's] attack rules."
"Uh-huh!"
[God's] rules are quite simple. She already knows it. Anyone who sees it will die.
"Even if both parties are at the same level, [Game] will still be killed by [God]."
"Because [Game] has not come into contact with [God] at all, but [God] has come into contact with [Game], the battle between the two sides is not equivalent."
"But what if [God] is at a lower level and is just a second-class demon?" Chen Xinyi asked curiously.
Lu Tianming said with great certainty: "There is still a high probability of death in [the game]."
Chen Xinyi asked again: "What if [God] is at a lower level and is just an evil god?"
"[Game] may still die. Even if [God] is just an ordinary weirdo, [Game] may die, provided that [Game] does not have rules to fight back when it is hurt."
"This is the power brought by contact. It is like a sniper confrontation. If you discover your opponent first, you have a huge advantage. The party that launches the attack is absolutely powerful."
"Understood."
"But you must know that the more powerful the demon god, the more complete the rules will be, and the smaller the probability of loopholes. Otherwise, they cannot survive in the depths of the etheric abyss for a long time. You must know that since the etheric abyss has the word 'abyss',
The environment there must be extremely harsh."
Chen Xinyi nodded seriously and took a deep breath. She was so excited. She didn't expect that the battle between weirdos was actually a battle between rules and rules, a battle between contact and contact. This is fundamentally different from humans!
Having said this, Lu Tianming took a deep breath: "I keep you here because you need to do a high-risk experiment!"
"Here, you need to 'contact' a dangerous secondary demon god - [Blood Demon]."
"With this, we need to determine the completeness of the rules of [the game]... The first thing we need to tell you is that you may die."
Contact with a lesser demon!!
After hearing the news, Chen Xinyi's racing heart suddenly cooled down.
At this moment, it was like falling into an ice cave, and the sudden drop in ambient temperature caused the hairs all over her body to stand up.
She looked at the serious face of No. 12... This is no joke!
Then she looked at Li Qingshan, who looked like a stern and upright person. Perhaps because she was used to this kind of task, her superiors did not express any objections.
"Li Qingshan, please leave. You do not need to accept this experiment. Please return to reality."
"Understood." Li Qingshan's figure disappeared in the training camp, and his soul returned to the real world.
Chen Xinyi felt a strong palpitation in her heart. She was facing the wheel of fate in her life.
Joining the Black Guard is not to have fun, visit an amusement park, or be a curious baby. She must obey orders and obey the organization's arrangements!
This feeling of heart palpitations made her unable to stop, and her whole body was filled with indescribable pleasure, which spread throughout her body like an electric current, making her whole body numb.
So she smiled, showing two tiger teeth: "Mr. No. 12, I accept the mission."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, please start quickly."
Lu Tianming was a little strange. He originally thought that Chen Xinyi would object to questioning, but he didn't expect that this woman actually... became happy?!
This is really weird. Does [Game] have personal quality requirements for the selection of players?
Li Qingshan is undoubtedly the mainstay of the Black Guards, with a strong will and good qualities.
This newly joined Chen Xinyi... actually looks pretty good?
He saw Li Qingshan leaving the training camp and began to read the memories in the memory hard drive. He said in a mechanical tone: "According to the information currently known, [Blood Demon] is a very 'stingy' demon. In it
Among the rules, talking about its nature, calling it by its true name, and communicating about its rules may trigger its aggressive tendencies. [Blood Demon] is just a pseudonym."
"The more you know, the more vulnerable you are to it."
"Now I want to tell you...its body is in an unknown parallel time and space."
"This time and space is filled with white fog that never dissipates."
"A natural village is formed in the white mist!"
"The scene in the natural village is unknown to us. All the deep insiders are dead. All communication must go through the memory hard drive. You are the only current communicator who does not go through the memory hard drive."
Chen Xinyi took a deep breath!
"In a certain red mist incident a hundred years ago, the black-clad guards once launched an investigation into the 'unknown time and space' and dispatched a Class B investigator. At that time, the black-clad guards were divided into A, B, C, and D.
Guard rank. That Class B investigator was the ancestor of Li Qingshan. He had rich investigative experience, but disappeared into the mist and never came back."
