Chapter 346 Prelude

"Is this organization so exclusive?"

Charles opened his eyes in confusion.

He tried thousands of ways, but failed to get into the 'Adventurers Guild'.

I originally thought that knowing the name of this organization was a big step forward.

After all, compared to knowing nothing in the beginning, now at least we have a breakthrough point - we know the names, so when we simulate the future, how can we not know which direction to simulate?

At that time, sneak into the Adventurer's Guild, choose a future at random, destroy this organization, and then deal with the two people from the alien world. If the plan is successfully completed, everything will naturally be happy.

However--

He never imagined that he couldn't even get into the Adventurers' Guild!

Not to mention sneaking in, he didn't even know the organization's specific location.

There were several times when I had already caught some clues, but for some reason, I still failed.

The gods of the Adventurer's Guild actually gave down oracles and asked him to submit something like a 'God Resume'... How would he know what that was?

So I didn’t submit it, and then they said that I didn’t meet the interview process, and they didn’t give me an interview opportunity…

So what is an interview?

Charles was a little mad.

He was even shameless. In one simulation, he asked everyone like a fool if they knew about the Adventurers' Guild. As a result, something went wrong and the Adventurers' Guild disappeared from the world without any information about it.

"Huh, this organization..." Charles' face was gloomy.

If he behaved a little abnormally in the simulated future, the Adventurer's Guild would 'disappear', and Charles was so upset that he almost vomited blood.

It can't be said that it 'disappeared', it seems that it just changed its name and continued its activities...

However, after so many simulations, it is not completely without gain.

At least Charles already knew that the gods behind the Adventurers' Guild were not very powerful, they were just some low-level gods.

And I also roughly understood why my plan suddenly failed.

He specially simulated the future several times, doing nothing but observing those adventurers, almost every one of whom was equivalent to the "God's Favored One".

Found out that the gods were doing something very stupid.

They are 'serving the people'...

Tsk, gods should be high above and serve mortals, what can this achieve? When gods lose their mysterious veil in the eyes of mortals, faith is no longer mysterious, because believers already know what gods are like and will no longer over-imagine - this move is simply destroying the foundation of faith in Shinto.

No wonder my plans would fail inexplicably in the future. It turned out to be because of this...

Both of them overthrow the existing belief system, but the Adventurer's Guild is setting an upper limit for the "God" itself - if there are more contacts with believers, it may be easier to collect faith, but it will also make people lose their awe of the God.

"Haha, it seems I don't need to worry too much." After roughly understanding the reason why his plan failed, Charles no longer took the Adventurers' Guild seriously.

Because it no longer poses a threat.

He no longer has to rely entirely on faith.

But to be on the safe side, He simulated it again.

This time, because he had predicted the logic of the Adventurers' Guild's behavior in advance, his plan was easily successful. Moreover, for some unknown reason, the Adventurers' Guild actually began to crack down on the slave trade on the entire continent...

"Slave trade...isn't this the industry I started when I was simulating alchemy in my early years?" Charles touched his chin and mobilized the content about 'alchemy' in the Brain of Truth.

"The research has been completed. It doesn't matter if it is destroyed."

Charles stood up and said to himself, "Just don't go against me... Huh? Those aliens are actually helping me? Interesting, capture all the gods I meet, so that the believers will never receive any response from the gods again... Very good, very good! Hahaha! It seems that the plan can begin!"

In the simulated future, Ji Ruo obeyed his orders and did whatever he told her to do, even to a terrifying degree of efficiency.

While the Adventurers' Guild is cracking down on the slave trade, it is also "capturing" various gods. Even if Charles does nothing, he can't see the possibility of the plan failing.

"Why aren't you talking? Isn't it something to be happy about that the plan is successful?"

The space around Charles was silent and there was no time for him to make any more noise.

Charles was very satisfied with this: "Well, it seems that you have recognized your position."

He did not notice that in all the futures that pointed to the success of his plan, Ji Ruo had absolutely no objection to him, and even helped him a lot. However, those futures that were not fully deduced did not produce any new timeline branches...

…

"Ooooooooooooooo (Pain, hunger...)"

The handsome beastman covered his mouth pitifully, his teeth shattered to the ground by Ji Ruo's invincible magic.

"Do you want to eat this?" Ji Ruo took out a fragrant roast chicken.

The beastman's eyes lit up, he spoke eloquently, stretched out his hand with eagerness, and grabbed the roast chicken: "Alu~ (Delicious, eat, hungry!)"

"Alu? (Is that what you call it?)" Ji Ruo tilted his head and said, "Take it and eat it."

“Aru! (Delicious!)”

Ji Ruo rubbed the beastman's head and asked curiously, "Where are you from? What's your name? How many people are there in your family? How old are you this year? Do you still remember the way home? Do you want us to take you back? Can I call you Alu? If you don't object, it means you agree? Alu, how long have you been caught here?"

Ash, who was determined to remember all the oracles, suddenly scratched his head in distress.

Ji Ruo said so much that he could hardly remember it all...

"Alu~ (My mouth hurts.)" The orc, who had taken two bites of the roasted chicken, opened her mouth pitifully to show Ji Ruo her broken teeth.

"Um...Emily, can you help Aru with his treatment? Can your healing skills help teeth grow?"

“Of course I can…” Emily was stunned. “You can actually chat with her! Alu? Did you even give her a name?”

"Yeah, she didn't object."

Sheila and Tim also looked incredulous.

Liang Shixian waved his hands and said, "Just get used to it. Just get used to it. Ji Ruo has a strong talent for languages."

The three girls looked at Liang Shixian in shock. This had nothing to do with language talent!

Emily chanted a healing spell to heal Aru's broken tooth.

"Alu? (Does it hurt? Does it hurt?)" She pinched the teeth in her mouth, a moment of confusion appeared on her face, and then she happily started to eat the roast chicken.

Ji Ruo took out clothes and put them on Alu. Although he didn't mind much, it was not good to keep him naked like this.

"Eat slowly and don't choke."

"Ah... Ouch! (Cut! It hurts!)" Alu covered his throat and rolled his eyes. The chicken bone was stuck in his throat.

“…”

Ji Ruo quickly pressed down on the back of Alu's neck, and with his precise control, he used his hidden power to help Alu shatter the chicken bones in his throat.

"I told you to eat slowly!"

Alu looked at Ji Ruo warily: "Alu! (It's delicious! Slow down, grab it!)"

"We won't steal yours!"

"Aru! (Believe, stupid!)"

"Hey! You guys!"

Tim looked doubtful as he kept searching and comparing results on the 'search engine' in front of him. He was totally unable to understand the situation in front of him.

"Brother Ji Ruo, how did you communicate with her?"

"That's how we communicate." Ji Ruo patted Alu's shoulder and said, "Alu, do you want to leave here with us?"

"Alu? (Leave, go?)"

Ji Ruo pointed at the roast chicken in Alu's hand and said, "We'll give you something delicious."

Alu was immediately excited: "Alu! (Let's go!)"

Tim scratched his hair, saying he couldn't understand it at all.

The records of this creature in the earth veins clearly say that it is just a plaything of humans and there is no way to communicate with it. How come...

Sheila and Emily also seemed to be using some means to check Alu, and their expressions became more and more shocked.

Ji Ruo stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Then you can eat slowly. I will release your compatriots first."

"Ji Ruo, let me help you." Liang Shixian said.

"Well, Rosie, continue with your talent and wake them up."

These beastmen were all controlled by drugs. Although they looked a little stupid after waking up, they were not completely unable to communicate.

However, just when Ji Ruo was about to release the second beastman——

“Sizzle~”

The 'glass covers' that trapped them suddenly lit up with magical patterns, and lasers appeared out of thin air, cutting madly inside the glass covers.

Ji Ruo was shocked: "What's going on!"

Tim hurriedly said: "Let me check, let me check..."

"Captain, help..." Before Ji Ruo could finish his words, all the beastmen except Alu had been chopped into pieces by the magic lasers. Until the last moment of their lives, they still could not get rid of the control of the drugs...

Screams were heard one after another. Ji Ruo turned around and saw that all the monster slaves on the way here were also cut by the "glass cover".

The strong smell of blood filled the air.

"Why is it like this..." Ji Ruo asked blankly.

At this time, Tim also found the information he wanted and said, "Brother Ji Ruo, because we didn't pay... they are very high-level consumables with special anti-theft measures. If those magic crystal shields are not opened in a specific way, they will be considered theft.

The magic crystal shield will destroy all the goods..."

The plan is to remain silent.

"So, we only saved Alu?"

"She wasn't saved, actually." Tim said hesitantly, "She wouldn't have lived long."

"What do you mean?"

Before Tim could explain, Alu, who had already had a full meal, crawled towards Ji Ruo like a dog, with a look of joy on his face.

But in the process of crawling, Alu's face was aging at an extremely fast speed - in just a few steps, Alu seemed to have completed her life, and changed from a beautiful beast-eared girl to a dying beast-woman.

Alu rubbed Ji Ruo's trouser leg with the side of his face, and his old voice was filled with satisfaction and joy: "Alu~ (Okay, eat...)"

Seeing Ji Ruo's ugly expression, Tim quickly explained: "That kind of medicine is not only used to control them, but also necessary to maintain their lives. If they don't take it regularly, they will age rapidly... just like this..."

"Emily." Ji Ruo looked at Emily: "You are the goddess of life..."

Emily waved her hands and said, "I can't do it. They are not naturally formed lives, and can't even be called lives. They are just a group of living dolls. I want to save them, but there is no way. Only those formed naturally are lives and have meaning."

Ji Ruo looked at Xila again.

Sheila shook her head: "They don't even have souls."

Ji Ruo was silent for a while.

Tim said cautiously: "Brother Jiruo, is this a bad thing? I don't really understand, but similar things have happened a lot. For a 'creature' like Aru, the process of making it is not particularly painful. It mainly relies on promiscuity... There are breeding farms further down the slave market. For 'high-quality' people like Aru to be sold, they are already considered good.

Those deformed creatures that don’t conform to human aesthetic standards don’t even have a chance to see the sun…”

She transmitted some images to Ji Ruo through her consciousness.

"Okay, stop talking." Ji Ruo let out a long breath: "The Alchemy Religion is the predecessor of the Truth Church, right?"

“…in theory.”

"Charles, you deserve to die!!!" Ji Ruo gritted his teeth.

Tim hurriedly said, "Brother Ji Ruo, don't do that. If I want to scold you, I'll start the Time Stop Domain now!"

"Don't be afraid, it won't affect the plan." Ji Ruo said word by word, "No matter what happens, no matter when, I can guarantee that Charles will never see a future where I don't obey Him!"

"Why?"

If there is no explanation.

He didn't want to go any further, so after rescuing the remaining slaves, he set a fire.

"It's on fire! Damn it! What are those puppets doing? Don't they have to eliminate the potential safety hazards?"

A fat man covered in jewels and gems, with magic props all over his head, rushed out of the fire scene swearing, and saw Ji Ruo and others blocking the exit.

"Get out of here! Don't you see the huge fire? Wait, you slaves... Damn it, you set the fire!" The fat man was furious. "How dare you do this? Do you know whose industry this is?"

As he spoke, dozens of magic props were activated.

The enchanted sword slashed out sword rays, the necklace condensed hundreds of ice cones, and the rings on the ten fingers stimulated elemental magic such as earth spikes and lightning... The fat man didn't even want to hold back, and his first move was a killing move, and all the magic props on his body were activated.

"You will pay for this!"

"The world."

Ji Ruo responded with a palm strike with an expressionless face.

Ji Ruo slapped out a huge palm print, and there seemed to be a world in the palm of his hand, with shadows and the mundane world.

The will of martial arts manifested strange phenomena, and Ji Ruo's martial arts abilities showed their power for the first time.

The magic attacks driven by magic items suddenly stopped. Although they were just attacks composed of various elements, they strangely emitted various scents, which were extremely tempting.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he saw. He was intoxicated by the tempting fragrance and could not help but reach out to grab it.

His hands were shattered by the Death Thorn Spear he released, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. Without his hands, he simply stretched out his head to bite.

Then, the fat man died.

"Rubbish."

Ji Ruo snorted coldly.

The 'human' palm technique is not good at attacking, but the fat man couldn't even withstand the slightest artistic conception of this palm.
