Chapter 398 The Truth of the World "You said the leader will return...
"You said the leader has been staying in his office since returning to Yokohama?"
"How long has this been going on, Sigma?"
While Bingsheng was dealing with the trivial matters caused by the inheritance ceremony, he could not get any news from the leader. Instead, he received a call from the leader's secretary. After hearing the message from the other party, Elena frowned slightly and asked quickly.
"The leader hasn't come out in three days. The last time he met with a cadre-level member was in the evening three days ago. It was Dazai-sama. At that time, they were staying with the civilian members of the intelligence department."
On the other end of the line, Sigma replied with a worried look on his face, "I asked Dazai-sama, but he didn't know the reason either."
"Lady Elena, this is not unusual. The leader has refused entry to everyone."
Even through the screen, Elena could sense Sigma's worry.
"Indeed..." Elena tapped the table regularly, seeming to be lost in thought.
As someone who usually keeps a fairly regular schedule and even tries to sneak through her daily schedule when she's sick, it's quite rare for Kamijou Chiyo to behave like this, not to mention that she's refusing entry to anyone.
Did something unexpected happen? Or...
"I understand, Sigma, you pay attention to the leader's actions, and tell me in time if she comes out." Elena frowned, subconsciously tightened the pocket watch in her hand, and said.
"I'll be right back."
"Yes, Lady Elena!" Sigma said solemnly.
After replying to Sigma, Elena put down her phone and breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little confused.
Chiyo, what on earth are you doing?
**
It was the evening of three days ago. After seeing that all four mysterious gifts had been collected and were already lit up, the player couldn't wait to go to the office and take them out.
But surprisingly, what appeared in the player's hand was a shiny ball of light whose inside could not be seen.
"Huh? Four gifts became just one?" The player tilted his head in confusion, but subconsciously opened the light ball, revealing the items inside - an ordinary-looking book, a piece of paper that seemed to have something written on it, a plain cube, and a stone slab that glowed with colorful light but was full of potholes.
The player's hand first reached out to the ordinary-looking book.
The moment it was touched, the cover of the book immediately turned into a sea of people, and at the same time, an introduction to the book popped up.
[Book: A blank, writable, one-of-a-kind book in the world, hidden in the Yokohama area where psychics abound. It seems to have been damaged in the present world, causing its foundation to become unstable, and some of its power has been lost.
How to use: Natural and logical writing can give a book the power to influence the world.
Just by writing down logically clear words, you can influence the real world. What’s the difference between this and a low-profile version of the Creator?
This is simply cheating!
The player was delighted: "What a great thing! I love large-scale modifiers!!!"
The player happily reached out for the second item—it turned out to be a birthday letter!
"After filling in the birthday information, you will receive a big gift package from the system on that day... Shouldn't this kind of thing be resolved from the beginning?" The player complained, but still filled in the time he wanted to spend his birthday with a serious expression.
Hmm... The system stipulates that the selection must be made within a year, which means the deadline is the end of next month. This month is almost over, so holding a birthday party is a bit rushed...
In order to receive more gifts, players should set the date for next month. It just so happens that the player’s birthday is also...hmm...
The player wrote the four big words "Month 1st" in the blank space of the birthday greeting letter with great ease.
After dealing with the birthday letter, the player turned his attention to the other two items and directly identified them one by one - a stone tablet with residual power of the deadly flame and a cursed object that could seal time and space within the barrier.
"A book representing supernatural powers, a stone tablet representing the power of the Death Flame, a cursed object representing the power of cursed energy, and... me." The player held his chin, his eyes twinkling. "I don't think this is a coincidence."
The mysterious gift connects the player to three worlds that are gradually merging. Combined with the clues obtained earlier, it's hard not to imagine...
"What do you think?" The player opened the system mall after a long absence and began to harass the customer service.
【customer service:"."】
"What do you think? What do you think? What do you think?" The player persisted, the player persevered, and the player continued to harass.
【customer service:"."】
"Don't play dead, don't play dead, don't play dead, otherwise I'll complain, I'll complain, I know everything, I know everything!" the player muttered.
【customer service:"."】
…
…
As expected, the customer service did not give any response except for the seemingly automatic reply ".". The player was also concerned and tried to harass the silent customer service while preparing to put the book, stone tablet and cube back into the backpack.
Although there are still many doubts, these are all good things and must be kept well!
But at this moment, the three items suddenly emitted golden light at the same time, shining in the player's eyes, adding more brilliance to his already bright eyes.
Player: "What...is..." happening?
The player rubbed her cheeks sleepily, only to feel an overwhelming wave of fatigue coming over her. She couldn't help but lie down on the large bed specially set up in the office and slowly closed her eyes.
…
…
It was still the familiar darkness, but it had become brighter.
The player walked barefoot on the increasingly bright path, heading towards the light at the end. There was no fear or dread in his eyes, only the expected realization.
"It's this dream again..."
"Could it be that... this time we can uncover the mystery of those light balls?"
Thinking of this, the player walked faster and faster, and finally reached the end of the road almost at a trot, and saw the three balls of light - no, it can no longer be said to be three.
They have merged together.
What is even more surprising is that after light balls No. 1 and No. 3 merged into light ball No. 2, the originally huge light ball, although still colorful, became only the size of a palm.
"What an amazing change..." The player subconsciously took a few steps forward and got a glimpse of the new version of the Light Ball - it was called a Light Ball, but in fact it was more like a condensed ball of several energies, with a faintly orange top, an inky black bottom, and a colorful sphere.
It is located in the center of this small world, floating and rotating in a constant rhythm. Even though the cracks inside the sphere are still visible to the naked eye, they cannot cover up its brilliant light!
Not only that...but also...
There was a feeling that no matter what he did, he would be accepted. Feeling the gentle light on the face, the player thought to himself and tried to put his hand on it again, "What kind of existence are you?"
This time, the player was not rejected.
————————
The moment of contact, a huge light covered the entire space. The player squinted his eyes, and when he opened them again, he came to a secret space - dotted with stars. A huge tree that seemed to be able to touch the sky stood in the center of the space, and the roots underground extended towards the periphery, as if endless.
A gust of wind blew, shaking the branches. The scattered leaves formed a green shadow, which was then gradually carved into a human shape by the breeze.
"Come here... my child..."
"Come here to me..."
The player had no way of being on guard and walked towards the green shadow as instructed.
"This is the first time we meet in this way. I'm very happy to see you so lively." When the player approached, Green Shadow still couldn't see his face clearly, but his tone was like the breeze, which made the player feel sweet.
"If I remember correctly, this should be our third meeting. The two times before, you were still those light balls."
The player jumped in front of the green shadow lively, looked at the green shadow that made him feel close, and said, "But this is indeed the first time. Which ball are you? Why... do you call me that?"
Is it a complex ball, a pure ball, or the incarnation of a gem ball?
"A lovely idea." Green Shadow seemed to know what the player was thinking and smiled. "We've come this far. Based on your speculation, you can think of me as a pure ball, or you can think of me as any of them."
"Pure ball? Any one?"
"Yes." The green shadow, oh no, the pure ball stretched out its hand, with an imperceptible soft light, gently tapped the girl's eyebrows, and let out a sigh.
"I believe you have also discovered, my child, that the world you are in now has a very complex energy system. Supernatural powers, the flame of death, and cursed power coexist. This phenomenon should not occur."
Pure Ball continued, "The initial cause of this phenomenon was simply the vibration caused by the weakening of power."
"But it was also because of this accidental encounter that I came up with new ideas."
Here it comes! The truth that players want to know!
The players pricked up their ears and held their breath.
"Breaking free from the constraints of time and space, this brief encounter brought me into contact with a brand new world. The origin of this other world is a book, which possesses the power to turn everything into reality and create more possibilities."
"...Shu...This should refer to Yokohama. The special power system is a supernatural ability." The player touched his brow with a complicated expression and spoke.
Pure Ball nodded and continued, "The other party's world is shaky and floating because the original item has been destroyed, but the necessary power is still there. Or, as long as the words continue to flow, its power will continue to flow."
"I needed the power to maintain the world, and he needed a solid barrier to his own world. So we hit it off and decided to merge these two completely different worlds for mutual benefit."
"At the moment this thought appeared, an individual that none of us could have imagined was born—that is you."
"I?"
"Yes, you, the child born from our collision."
"Impossible?" Even though the player had learned a lot from the previous encounter, he still found it a little unbelievable. "In my opinion, I'm just a player who entered the game. I can leave this world at any time."
"For the first ten years of my life, I had never even come into contact with or known these so-called powers."
The player suppressed the guilt and fear of not being able to speak of a few past events and asked loudly, "Besides, even if what you just said is true, and you did choose to merge with the world of supernatural powers, then what about the other world? The world of cursed power?"
"Regarding your identity and experience, it's actually a means to quickly gain a deeper understanding of the world." Pure Ball listened quietly. After hearing about the third world, the corners of his mouth inevitably twitched. "As for the third world..."
At this point, Pure Ball sighed and said rather helplessly, "That world filled with negative emotions and turning them into power wasn't something I considered at first, because in our original plan, its existence had no value."
Player: "...So, it came here on its own initiative?"
Pure Ball nodded helplessly.
The player fell silent: "..."
Good boy, I just said it casually, but I didn’t expect it to be true...
What is going on here?
