Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Already back at the villa halfway up the mountain...
The Swordsman, who had already returned to the villa halfway up the mountain, let go of Li Baili and immediately felt that there was a third wave of people outside the door. He was already very impatient and immediately walked to the door and looked outside.
A eunuch and some guards trembled and said, "Hello, we are here on the orders of His Majesty the Current Emperor to ask if you need anything. You can tell us directly."
"No," the sword bearer said coldly without hesitation, "Go back and tell your Majesty not to come here to inquire about things. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I will not be responsible."
The Sword Holder and Li Baili both knew that the Current Emperor sent people here just to find out if there was really something going on here and what the situation was. In addition, he wanted to know whether the Sword Holder had tortured Li Baili.
The Swordsman didn't want to be perfunctory with these people, nor did he want to explain to them, so after he finished speaking, he looked coldly at the people in front of him.
The eunuch trembled, wanting to cry but unable to, "I'm afraid this is not a good thing to say. How about you report it to His Majesty? Just tell him what you came here for, what you have done, and what you are going to do, isn't that enough?"
The sword bearer stared at him and asked, "Are you commanding me?"
The eunuch shook his head quickly: "No, no, I don't dare!"
The guards beside him were also confused about how the sword bearer appeared and disappeared, but seeing the eunuch's expression, they also couldn't understand why he was so scared. They frowned and said to the sword bearer, "Don't be too rude. This is the emperor's message to you! Even if you don't kneel down to receive the order, you should at least be polite, right?"
The swordsman's eyebrows curved slightly and he nodded, anger slowly rising in his heart. He sneered, "Now it's your turn."
Li Baili found a huge amnesia pepper spray from the system and asked the system to spray the spray at the people outside the door.
The people outside immediately burst into tears and started coughing with their heads down. Soon they forgot why they came there and walked out in a daze, walking further and further away in a daze.
When the eunuch returned to the emperor, he knelt down with a thud, and then he barely remembered that he seemed to have something to do, but he didn't do it, so he just kowtowed and apologized.
Seeing him like this, the present emperor knew that he couldn't get anything out of him and that he must have failed. He didn't mean to blame him, so he waved his hand and let him go.
The chief eunuch hesitated and asked, "Shouldn't we send someone else?"
The contemporary was holding the memorial, very calm, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm not that free."
The eunuch nodded and said nothing more.
Li Baili sat in the room and asked the system: "Can you still calculate now?"
The system opened its big, confused and innocent eyes, and asked with some doubt: "What do you want to calculate?"
Li Baili smiled bitterly and frowned as she said, "The current situation has been completely disrupted. It is impossible for me to continue to live a peaceful life in the villa halfway up the mountain.
I want to know how I can regain the days when I don’t have to go out, meet people, work, or worry about anything.”
The system froze for a moment, then made a crackling sound as if an electric current had burned out a wire, and gradually turned red. After a while, it slowly returned to normal and whispered, "This is a bit difficult!"
Li Baili narrowed her eyes, stared at the system and asked, "What do you mean?"
The system smiled at Li Baili, curled itself up, and quietly turned up the volume to make sure he could hear it without asking a second time. "I roughly calculated it. Given the current situation, you may have to go out."
Li Baili opened her mouth, and the system suddenly lowered its head, closed its eyes and pressed itself against the table, stretching itself out as hard as it could, and said a little louder, "I'm sorry! I didn't know it would be like this! If I had known, I would have calculated the time!"
Li Baili sighed, touched the system, and felt helpless. She smiled slightly, looking gentle, but frowned slightly and said, "Forget it.
It's too much trouble to keep calculating. I don't even want to do anything myself, so how can I let you keep working? Now that things have come to this, please show me a way out."
The system hesitated for a while, flashing red and green, and finally stopped at a vast expanse of white. The sound was as confusing as the color: "A crisis of world destruction has emerged."
Li Baili frowned, puzzled: "How could it be?"
The system sighed and said, "Nothing can last forever, and the same is true for the world. Every once in a while, this world will encounter a huge crisis of destruction.
This crisis has come not because of anything that happened, but because the time has come.”
Li Baili lowered her eyes, thinking, and smiled slowly: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I ran into such a thing?"
The system looked at him cautiously, blinking its eyes, and said in a very gentle voice: "Everyone will encounter it. It's just a matter of knowing it first or later. You knew it before them, which is actually a good thing. Don't take it too seriously."
The system paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "If you don't want to go out, you can commit suicide now. I can find a way to take you to another stable world. You can still live your peaceful life, just like before, or even better than before."
The system slowly smiled at Li Baili who was looking at it, "You have yourself, your vest, and me. You can live happily anywhere. You don't have to hesitate here."
I have to admit that what the system said to Li Baili made Li Baili calm down suddenly. After all, there is always a difference between having a retreat and not having one.
Li Baili stared at the system for a long time, then smiled and said, "Suicide is also very troublesome. Why don't you tell me what will happen if you stay here?"
The system nodded, slowly straightened up, and said to him: "It won't be long before the seabed will vibrate, and these vibrations will cause the seals around the world to break faster.
At that time, the sealed demons will come out and do whatever they want. This is the first crisis.
Demons who do whatever they want will attract immortals who want to suppress and deal with them. However, the number of immortals cannot match that of demons, so there will definitely be heavy casualties.
When the matter is brought to the human world, ordinary people who know about it may join the immortals or the demons, and the two sides will kill each other. The demons will be seriously injured, and the human race will decline.
The two sides had to call a truce. The seabed shook again and cracks appeared. Black gas continued to emerge from the cracks. The black gas could not be caught or killed.
However, if they encounter a corpse, the corpse will jump up and attack everything around it, catching everyone off guard. This is the second crisis.
Once everyone has roughly dealt with the crisis caused by the corpse, they will find that the black air has merged into the land, causing the land to become loose and lose nutrients.
The land that has absorbed the black air can neither support buildings nor grow food. In the end, it may not be able to support any activities on it, and may even be poisonous. This is the third crisis.
It’s clear what will happen in the end, right?”
"It does sound like a world-destroying crisis," Li Baili nodded, "but the source of the problem seems to be the turbulence on the seabed, the subsequent cracks on the seabed caused by the turbulence, and the black air in the cracks.
I can neither stop the turbulence of the seabed, nor seal up the cracks on the seabed, nor stop the black gas from coming out of the cracks. What can I do?"
"Undersea turbulence cannot be stopped, and cracks on the seabed are bound to appear. The black gas is uncertain," the system said hesitantly, "But if we can reinforce the seal and eliminate the demons that escape from the seal when the turbulence on the seabed causes it to break faster, fewer people will die afterwards."
Li Baili nodded thoughtfully: "With fewer dead people, even if the black gas emerges and causes the corpses to attack, the damage caused will be much less."
He paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What if we destroy the dead body directly? Even if the black gas emerges, we can't find the body right away. Wouldn't that cause less damage?"
The system laughed and said, "That's the theory, but the black gas doesn't just affect corpses. If we get rid of the corpses, the black gas won't be able to find them, so it will have to look for the land. The problems that may arise in the land are much greater than those with the corpses!"
The system said in a gentle voice: "The corpse issue is more like a cover-up for the land issue, which makes people relax their vigilance and think that the matter is over. In fact, the most serious issue is the land issue!"
Li Baili shook her head, feeling helpless: "If you ask me, the most serious thing is the black energy. As long as there is no black energy, even if there are deaths everywhere in the fight, it will be fine after a while."
"I calculated it," the system said hesitantly, "There is a way, with a one in ten thousand chance, to prevent the black gas from appearing. Maybe we can give it a try."
"Is there no other way?" Li Baili raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
"There are other methods," the system said hesitantly, "but most of the calculated results show that black gas will appear. A small number of calculated results show that black gas may not appear. The probability of not appearing is usually one in a thousand, or even less."
"It seems that this is the best way?" Li Baili smiled.
"Yes." The system said affirmatively.
"What should I do?" Li Baili asked with a worried frown.
The system came close to Li Baili's ear and whispered to him for a long time.
Li Baili slowly frowned, thinking about something, and finally nodded slowly, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "I understand."
The system blinked and flew back, hitting the table with a snap like a white glutinous rice dumpling.
The system looked up at Li Baili, then looked at the swordsman next to him who had an equally gloomy expression. It remained silent and shrank itself a little tighter.
