Kang Yu looked at No. 37 with some surprise, feeling that No. 37's attitude was somewhat nonchalant. Was he acting with a sense of entitlement?
He glanced down at the book in his hand and noticed a detail: the last-ranked World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost, Omniscience and Omnipotence "god," had very little information about it.
A question arose in my mind, so I casually asked it.
After a moment of silence, No. 37 explained, "God is special; its information cannot be recorded in too much detail on paper, otherwise it will trigger Supernatural phenomena."
"As you've probably noticed, with each Rollback, the terror of World-Ending Level Fierce Ghosts increases rapidly. The most recent World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost was 'God.'"
"The 'Deathbird,' which appeared before the birth of 'God,' possesses a killing pattern that is virtually invincible and unsolvable. However, it is still bound by its own rules; it cannot kill unless a person triggers its killing pattern."
"But 'gods' are different. They have no so-called rules for killing, are not bound by any rules, and can kill without restriction by any means."
"When we did everything we could to get rid of the 'Deathbird,' we already had a premonition that the next World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost would be extremely terrifying and difficult to deal with."
"As expected," the "god" nearly destroyed the entire Time Management Bureau, leaving no time to Rollback.
"Fortunately, we were still the one who had the upper hand. By using multiple Rollbacks to find the weaknesses of 'God,' we then Rollback back to when 'God' was still weak at the beginning and took it down in one fell swoop!"
Kang Yu's eyes widened slightly. "So, 'God' has already been taken into custody by the Administration?"
No. 37 gave a slightly embarrassed twitch of his lips. "We only contained a portion of it; at the crucial moment, 'God' disintegrated on its own."
"This thing is extremely troublesome. Even after multiple Rollbacks and restarts, its effects cannot be completely erased. I remember there's a secret organization that has made completing 'God' its core objective."
Kang Yu asked curiously, "What is the weakness of 'God'? How exactly did you defeat it?"
No. 37: "This is classified; you're not qualified to know yet."
Kang Yu then asked, "Those World-Ending Level Fierce Ghost from before the birth of 'God,' shouldn't they have all been contained by the Administration? Is anyone controlling them?"
No. 37: "This is also confidential; knowing too much won't do you any good."
Kang Yu: "Then what could I possibly know?"
No. 37 said solemnly, "This world is fraught with danger. The Supernatural Revival and the Rollback have brought about World-Ending Level Fierce Ghosts, which is already a huge problem. The covetousness of outsiders has only made the situation worse."
Kang Yu: "Outsider?"
No. 37: "You don't even know concepts like 'Ghost World' or 'Otherworld'?"
Kang Yu looked completely bewildered.
No. 37 had no choice but to patiently explain it again.
Kang Yu listened, stunned, and couldn't help but sigh, "So this is the world I live in. Suddenly I feel like I was a frog in a well."
No. 37 chuckled, "No one can be Omniscience and Omnipotence. Everyone is like a frog in a well, only the opening of the well is different in size."
Kang Yu looked at No. 37 and remarked, "You have such a good temper."
After he entered the Supernatural world, the impressions he got from Ghost Tamers were almost entirely negative: insidious, vicious, cold-blooded, and cruel.
No. 37 was so gentle that he seemed more like a mentor than Ghost Tamer. Even if it was just an act, it was enough to briefly Kang Yu's wounded heart.
Kang Yu: "After joining the Administration, what was my number?"
No. 37 replied, "The members of the Administration are collectively called Executor; you are No. 53."
"Huh???" Kang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Then No. 52 wouldn't be...?"
No. 37 nodded. "No. 52 didn't join the Administration much earlier than you. It's one thing that he's not serious about his work, but this time he was so perfunctory in guiding the newcomers. I have to clean up the mess he made. I don't know what he's busy with all day."
Kang Yu seemed lost in thought.
No. 37 led Kang Yu out of the library-like room and went to the next room, where she got him a matching black robe.
"This garment is essentially a defensive Supernatural Item, and it also possesses a certain degree of concealment."
Kang Yu took the clothes but didn't put them on immediately.
No. 37 then took him to register his information. The Time Management Bureau's information registration for its members was not as simple as taking photos and signing; it was a special kind of identity verification.
On the way, No. 37 talked a lot, on and off.
"The Administration sometimes Rollback multiple times in a short period, and sometimes it holds up for a very long time."
"Rollback simply resets this world. Observing this world from the Ghost World would probably be like watching a movie on a loop."
"Rollback is a good thing. Outsiders infiltrated a long time ago, wanting to get it. I guess there are still Otherworld visitors lurking around the world now."
"The disintegration of the 'god' scattered across the world caused numerous unusual Supernatural phenomena, and even resulted in a very small number of unlucky individuals retaining fragmented memories of their 'past lives' after Rollback."
"The Administration dares not easily Rollback, for fear of creating something even more terrifying than 'God'."
"However, some of these guys have caused such a huge commotion that the Administration can't help but notice them."
"No. 52's mission this time wasn't just to guide you into joining the Administration, but also to investigate those people, but it seems he's been soundly humiliated."
Hearing this, a flash of resentment crossed Kang Yu's eyes, but he asked calmly, "Aren't you going to help No. 52?"
No. 37 shook his head. "No need for help. It doesn't matter if we fail and get killed. We can just get revenge next time we reload the Rollback."
Kang Yu chuckled, "What a truly touching colleague."
He casually asked, "How does 'Rollback' work? Is it a Supernatural Item? Or an untamed ghost?"
Answer No. 37: "The 'Rollback' is controlled by the top five Executor, and no one else is allowed to access it in any way."
Kang Yu: "Is that so?"
No. 37: "You can familiarize yourself with the environment and workflow here, and then you'll have to go and carry out your tasks."
Kang Yu clicked his tongue and complained, "Why do I have to work everywhere I go!"
No. 37: "There's no way around it, the situation is dire, and nobody's idle."
Kang Yu suddenly remembered something and said, "I need to go home first and take stock of my personal belongings."
No. 37: "I suggest you don't go back yet. The high-ranking leaders in Capital are acting strangely, and it seems like something weird has infiltrated Headquarters. If you accidentally get caught in there, I won't bother to bail you out."
"Right now, you only control a Fierce Ghost related to time, and your overall strength is pitifully low. You should improve yourself first, so that you won't just be beaten down and unable to fight back when you want to do something."
Kang Yu remained silent for a while, then nodded.
After completing the procedure, No. 37 and Kang Yu stepped out of the Sky Pavilion. However, 10 seconds later, a chill suddenly ran through Kang Yu's heart, and a whisper echoed in his mind, directly connecting with his consciousness...
