Especially the last line, "Even if I burn myself out, I won't give up," is practically a death flag set off. It's even more terrifying than something like "I'll go back to my hometown and get married after this battle." Could it be that although I can break the rules at will, the price of each rule violation comes from my body, and I end up spontaneously combusting and dying when I finally clear the game?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Baye gripped the chopsticks even tighter, and the veins on his normally chubby little hands bulged slightly.
"Uh, are you really okay...?"
The kappa couldn't help but whisper to the cat demon, fearing that Zhang Baye might transform into a heinous monster and swallow him whole.
"I guess so... If she really awakens, then I'll give her a little lesson. There are Ghost Kings in the Ghost Realm, it's not a place where she can act recklessly... If all else fails, you can run now, I can still hold out for a few more hits..." The cat was also a little uncertain. Although she would pick up amnesiac little demons that fell from the human world every now and then, most of them, even if they remembered their demon identities, were not particularly strong.
"Okay...okay..." After discussing it with the cat, the kappa stood up with a stern face: "Kid, wash the dishes yourself after you finish eating."
After saying that, the kappa walked stiffly to the door, opened the shoji door, tried to suppress his emotions, walked out and closed the door, and then ran away.
Zhang Baye paid no attention to this little incident; all he could think about was how he would survive after clearing the game.
If it's an active skill, that's fine; you can simply hold onto it and not use it at all. The Dragon Kingdom's think tank will definitely be able to find a relatively safe route to clear the level. But if it's a passive skill... then that's a bit dangerous.
The thought of uncontrollably burning himself made Zhang Baye's expression darken even more.
Yin Zhu failed the test. It seems that there is no second golden talent on Blue Star now. Does this mean that I will have to go to that place in Star Country to stay for a while?
I wonder if the strange and supernatural rules area on Blue Star will become invalid after Yin Zhu dies.
Actually, it's not so bad that it failed. It means that as long as Blue Star defeats the Unspeakable, all the strange rules and legends will disappear. However, this possibility seems even lower than the possibility of Blue Star being destroyed. I heard that the research institute is still making no progress.
If it doesn't fail... could Yin Zhu still be alive?
"By the way, Sakura-chan, did you... remember something?"
Suddenly, a cautious voice came from the other side, bringing Zhang Baye's scattered consciousness back to his body. After seeing the giant cat demon, he smiled slightly.
Nekomata: This feels even scarier!
“I do remember something, but I’m not sure.” After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Baye decided to reveal a little about his talent to Mao You, since the name was [Hellfire], which sounded like a green talent, probably one that could be seen: “I think I remember now, my real name is something like Hellfire.”
It's impossible for me to tell you my real name; I'll never tell you in this lifetime.
The name had a very Japanese fantasy feel to it, which the cat immediately accepted, but it became even more nervous. It stammered, "I-Is that so? It sounds like you were born from the essence of flames? That's good, that's good..."
This time, it was the cat's turn to brainstorm:
Hellfire! Just the name sounds terrifying! Does the Spirit Orb really contain hell? And how did she get out of hell? She's not very old, but she looks so fierce... *sobs*
The cat demon, who once followed Shuten-dōji on his nighttime journeys, never actually saw hell.
In her understanding, the Spirit Orb only has the human realm and the demon realm, and the latter was artificially created by Onmyoji. The gods and demons of the Spirit Orb live equally in the human realm, which is why Nekomata once followed the mountain god, but was disliked and driven down the mountain by the mountain god for killing someone—after all, there really is no god realm here.
Zhang Baye felt that the cat was acting strangely, but with the mindset of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" and trying to get along well with the locals, he still tried his best to show his friendliness: "Then I'll go wash the dishes?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." The cat maintained her gentle smile, like a kind older sister.
Zhang Baye, who had just entered the kitchen to start washing the dishes, quickly began to drift off into thought again:
A powerful talent that can break the rules must come at a great cost. Should I try to stall for time as much as possible and become the last chosen one to clear the game on the entire planet? That way, I can stay on the planet for only seven days when I return. Even if there are any negative effects, I can still save my life if I survive seven days.
If I clear the game too quickly, and if I return to Earth and another country takes two or three months to complete it, I probably won't be able to wait until the next new rule-based mystery dungeon opens.
Okay, that's settled then.
Although he was the second chosen one, as a member of the think tank, he had a lot of information. His boss was always more rational than emotional, so he might not abandon him, but he might not actively provide him with information.
after all……
...
"Report, this is all the internet browsing history of Zhang Baye's IP address during his rest at home."
A report has already been delivered to Anzhi. Previously, when other chosen ones entered the instance for the first time, the Dragon Kingdom would also investigate the information to determine the chosen ones' understanding of the instance.
Looking at the dense list of "Official Rules Strange Tales Live Streaming Website" URLs on the first few pages, An Zhi smiled: "Our comrades are quite dedicated. They don't forget to work overtime and watch the live streams even at home. We shouldn't need to remind them for a while. Let's see if Xiao Zhang needs any more information later."
