Evening Talk

Strictly speaking, Xu Feng wasn't very familiar with Bai Zhi.

He only had two encounters with the other party. The first was at the very beginning, before he had acquired Player identity, and the second was at [Noah's Ark]. In total, he saved the other party twice.

He is generous, open-minded, and has a strong sense of responsibility. When he learned about Noah's Ark's Noah's Ark, the first thing he thought of was the country. He also readily lent out the luxury car worth over 1 million yuan.

It was because of the kindness he had shown in saving the other person twice that the other person, driven by this obsession, found him and completed the task he had asked him to do.

--The Xu Feng who arrived this afternoon, he did not sense any malice from the other party, nor did he even realize that the other party was no longer human.

"Anomaly born from obsession... There have indeed been precedents for this."

After a moment of silence, the Dead Zero began to speak.

"This Anomaly is quite harmless; once the obsession is fulfilled, it will dissipate. His obsession... should be your previous request."

"Pretty much. I've encountered a similar case before. It was a delivery guy who ordered one order but insisted on delivering seven..."

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi picked up the document on the table and put it aside.

How did he die?

"Desperate, the other party chose to perish together with the Fallen Player in order to protect the 127 common nearby."

"... How are the affairs of the Relevant Department handled after the Player die?"

"They are crowned with the name of Hero, their families are rewarded and given many privileges; they are the Hero hide in the shadows to resist darkness... The nameless will eventually become famous."

The Dead Zero, spoke calmly.

"Because Player and Anomaly are mutually attracted, most Player choose to move out alone, otherwise it might involve their families. This is the significance of the Relevant Department; they can ensure that Player and ghost stories have no worries... If Player dies in a system-assigned mission or in Anomaly, it's already considered lucky if their body survives."

"Once we become Player, we essentially have no way out. We either die in those endless Anomaly, or we keep becoming stronger and eventually end it all."

With a slight sigh, Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the Dead Zero in front of him.

"When exactly did Anomaly begin, and what caused them to appear? Is there any way to completely resolve the problems caused by Anomaly...? Are these things mentioned in the legacies left by the Night Watcher?"

"... have no idea."

After a moment of silence, the Dead Zero, shook his head.

"My father might know a little more. If you want more detailed information, you can go to the Guild Master."

"Guild Master?"

"You should have heard of his name, Chu Ci. He is both the Guild Master of the Night Watcher and a current Night Watcher."

The Dead Zero, spoke.

"There are actually ways to completely eradicate the influence of Anomaly, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause; otherwise, there wouldn't be any talk of a revival now."

"... Zhuanxu Severing Heaven and Earth?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked.

"Not only that, there's also Liu Bowen Dragon Vein Severing."

The Dead Zero, shook his head.

"Even after the Severing of Heaven and Earth, mystery still exists in the world, giving rise to various systems such as Daoist arts, magic, and alchemy. The severing of the Severing of Heaven and Earth can only prevent the intrusion of Anomaly from outside, which is equivalent to sealing off the world, but within the world, various Anomaly continue to be born."

The Dead Zero, spoke several times more than before, and began to explain.

"In the past, those Anomaly were about all sorts of Demons and Monsters. The names varied from region to region. Here, we all called them Monster, while in the West they were called Demon and Demon Beast."

"So Vampire and Werewolf really do exist in the West? What about the Legendary Angel? Could there really be a God in the West? And what about Satan and Lucifer in Hell? Is God actually Player, and Satan and Lucifer just so-called Fallen Player?"

After hearing what the Dead Zero said, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel quite surprised.

"If that's the case, does that mean we also have the Ten Palaces Yama and the so-called Eighteen Levels of Hell here...? Wait, it doesn't seem impossible..."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Bai Zhi's expression became slightly subtle.

If a place like the [Domain of Delirium] could be created using Puzzle Card in the world where Tian Huo's Master lived, then why couldn't a place like the [Eighteen Levels of Hell] be created in their world?

After all, in a place like the [Domain of Delirium], the most crucial Item is merely a Puzzle Card that hasn't even reached the Mythic Level yet, while in their world, there used to be a whole host of Mythic Rank Expert.

Thinking about it this way, the Hell Town that the Hell Bus he took was definitely questionable.

Could those ten small shops be the Ten Shops Yama? That doesn't quite seem right... They're probably just doormen, or perhaps test subjects set up by the Ten Palaces Yama?

After all, that town, which was completely visible, was clearly just an entrance.

When he was escaping from there, he saw an Abyss Mouth swallow Lin He whole... That place might have been the entrance to the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

The purpose of the Eighteen Levels of Hell is self-evident.

Perhaps within those Eighteen Levels of Hell, countless Mythic Rank Expert Anomaly from that era are still sealed away...

"That's right, those things existed... or at least they used to exist, but now they've all disappeared."

Unaware of what Bai Zhi was thinking, the Dead Zero nodded calmly.

"Not only those things that appeared in Myth and have been passed down, but also those things that actually existed in reality."

"But now Anomaly are making a comeback... So, is this the reason why this is just a temporary fix?"

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"I don't know anything more than this. This is all I know."

Shaking his head, the Dead Zero stood up from the table.

"Although the [New Humans] organization suffered heavy losses, some of them managed to escape. They are a group of extremely dangerous terrorists, so I hope you can be a little more careful... after all, you interfered with them before."

"Don't worry, I'm aware of these things."

Turning his head to look at the darkening night sky, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"To be honest, I'd love for them to come and cause me trouble..."

If it were just Xia Wen, Night Owl, and the Campus Belle in this villa, he might have to worry about these things a bit more. But with Anna and Qingyi here, he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.

"It's late, so I won't bother you any longer."

Nodding slightly, the Dead Zero spoke calmly.

"I still have some things to take care of over there, so I'll be leaving now."

"Stay here for the night; there are plenty of Empty Room."

Watching the other person turn and leave, Bai Zhi sighed and stood up from the table.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you all this way. You probably haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll make you some instant noodles later."

Although Qingyi brought takeout with the number of people in mind, specifically enough for four, her Unique oversight was Tian Huo's appetite.

When he came downstairs earlier, the takeout food on the table had been mostly eaten, with the most bones piled up in front of Tian Huo. The Dead Zero, had barely eaten anything.

Turning back to look at him, the Dead Zero calmly nodded.

"Good."
