Decided on You, Yharnam!

The handover ceremony for the underground city in the country called Red went very smoothly.

From this day forward, Gong Qiying will own his fourth underground city and become a distinguished landlord with four houses.

As expected of a small border country, Red has only one underground city in the entire country. It can be said that whichever city lord obtains this place can directly dye the country with his colors.

Unfortunately, due to the chaos caused by the escaped Sealed Object, not many people were willing to take care of this place. It was only out of a sense of responsibility that You Lei Sha took over the task.

While handing over authority, You Lei Sha gave a general overview of the area surrounding the underground city.

After listening to the explanation, Gong Qiying finally understood why the battle plan had failed; there were simply too many unfavorable factors at play.

The first thing worth noting is that the portal to the Red Dungeon is actually located in a city within the country!

This city was the first to experience an outbreak of Hidden Blood Parasite on the night of the Meteor Shower, and it was also the first place in the entire country to fall.

Swarms of Hidden Blood Parasite roam this place. Even though large groups have gone to other cities in the surrounding area to infect others, quite a few still linger inside the city. Powerful mutants and even the insect king are quietly lurking here.

In short, there aren't many living people left here.

During the short time that You Lei Sha managed the dungeon, the main source of her Spirit Power was actually humans controlled by parasites!

Since monsters with excellent blood quality are generally not cheap to produce, and parasites modified by evil gods are more interested in human blood, the current Red Dungeon is completely in a state of deficit and needs to rely on other dungeons in You Lei Sha for blood transfusions in order to maintain its operation.

However, You Lei Sha also mentioned something interesting.

The Rhino are physically weaker than other races, but their dexterity is exceptional, and their Spirit Power is more resilient than that of normal races—not stronger, but unyielding. Unfortunately, they are still no match for the direct control of the Hidden Blood Parasite.

Their God closed one door but opened two windows; they don't know whether this is a loss or a gain.

But if their spirits are truly strong enough, it would definitely be a great help to Gong Qiying's plan.

Another problem is that the reason why the Red Dungeon doesn't attract more parasites, besides the fact that the blood of the dungeon monsters makes the parasites lose interest, seems to be that the monsters created by You Lei Sha are too strong, causing the parasites to be unwilling to enter with their hosts.

The dungeon has a subconscious attraction for escaped Sealed Object. The Sealed Object are unaware of this attraction, but they cannot be forced to enter. When they subjectively believe that entering the dungeon will be dangerous and thus develop resistance, the effect of this attraction will be greatly reduced.

Finally, You Lei Sha asked if she should tell Chiya or Baixue if she still needed their help. Gong Qiying's reply was:

We'll talk about it later.

After Bonds Dungeon, he returned to his loyal ally, Sion.

Looking at the familiar Shrine, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Could an evil god also be an escaped Sealed Object?"

This is just a guess, but he feels there's a slight possibility of it.

Regardless of whether the Hidden Dim Star is an escaped Sealed Object, it is very likely that it knew about the existence of the Dungeon Lord and the Sealed Object.

Otherwise, it seems there's no need for it to modify the habits of the Hidden Blood Parasite to make them more interested in human blood; even if it just wanted to cause a bigger disaster, there's no need to do so.

"We need to find a way to completely kill this guy."

The existence of such an evil god is unsettling. Before I knew about its existence, I felt that life was peaceful and quiet. But after I learned about its existence, I felt uneasy until I eliminated it.

To some extent, Gong Qiying's life motto was the pursuit of peace of mind.

If the Hidden Dim Star dares to reveal its true form, then he dares to give it an All-Star brawl.

Let's not think about these things for now.

He scribbled and drew in his notebook to help organize the information he had obtained from You Lei Sha, and he already had his own ideas on how to deal with the Hidden Blood Parasite.

Just now, he mixed a blood- Bloodborne with ordinary human blood. The sweet aroma emanating from the mixture caused the parasites to react violently, making them look like drunkards craving alcohol.

This situation seems to suggest that mixing human blood with non-human but sufficiently attractive blood can have a more alluring effect.

Now, he took out a transparent box containing the parasite protozoa that he had casually taken from You Lei Sha.

"Alright, the experiment is about to begin."

With a wave of his hand, Gong Qiying caused dozens of clumps of blood of different colors to float in mid-air.

The bloodlines of those in Great One, those of ancient dragons, those of Pokémon, and those of Aragami are so numerous that they are practically a herd of immortals.

He mixed these blood samples with ordinary human blood to test the parasites' reactions.

Ultimately, the results proved that the blood of those in Great One was the most effective.

The blood of ancient dragons and wild gods seems completely incompatible with human blood.

The blood of the Dragon Devourer has good effects and is on the list of items to consider.

The parasites have absolutely no interest in this strange combination of Pokémon and humans.

Overall, the blood from Bloodborne has the best effect!

Putting aside the fact that the blood of those in Great One can combine with the human body, the potential influence emanating from those in Great One within Great One blood alone makes them the best choice.

Since there is no Great One in this world, the source of this potential influence points to Sion, specifically by increasing Sion's attractiveness to parasites.

This "addictive" effect will help him properly manage these Sealed Object.

You Lei Sha also said that Hidden Blood Parasite can spread through bodily fluids and love to infect others through blood when the host is fighting with others.

Isn't that a coincidence? We Bloodborne hunters love being covered in blood, and we love exchanging blood for blood.

Furthermore, the monsters in Bloodborne can be either extremely powerful or ordinary, and can form traps that attract parasites.

"An army from the Warrior Country has also come to Red."

Gong Qiying was writing and drawing in his notebook.

"Then let Saen make the first impression on Reed and the Warrior Country."

The purpose of building this branch dungeon is to solve the problem of Sealed Object, so there is no need to build a map that is too large. After all, there are few people in Reid, and the area would not be able to support it if it were too large. It would be a waste to open all the maps of Bloodborne in such a border country.

Therefore, the scene that Gong Qiying ultimately decided to set up in Reid was—

Ya Nan.

"Does the King of Switzerland seem to be intentionally preventing the relief army from reaching the disaster area and carrying out rescue operations?"

The Warrior Country, the Imperial Capital, the Royal Palace.

A young man dressed in fine clothes and adorned with gold and silver ornaments, who looked quite "robust," looked at the briefing in his hand and slightly furrowed his thin eyebrows.

The messenger, kneeling on one knee before the young man, spoke respectfully, "This is the general's speculation, Your Majesty."

This young man, dressed in magnificent robes and exuding arrogance, is none other than the current King of the Warrior Country — Bang Tuwu · Kamareizan.

As the leading figure of the reformists who were most at odds with the Traditionalists in the country, this young King is widely respected by the young people of the Warrior Country.

This respect enabled him to defeat the other princes and become King. As for the old King Fred, the old man could just enjoy his retirement.

Bontou fumbled through the briefing, muttering to himself, "What is that fisherman King, who only knows how to peddle his catches, up to this time?"

He couldn't understand why the other side was preventing the rescue team from going deep into the disaster area.

After hearing that the parasitic monsters were contagious, the only country willing to help them was the Warrior Country —although that small rescue army was only organized because a general volunteered, and the entire army seemed to be gathered together simply because they loved seafood.

"Tell the general that if King Redd doesn't appreciate our offer, then have the army retreat," Bontou said coldly. "We would be happy to burn Redd to ashes after it has completely fallen to stop the monsters."

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly left.

"Still so ruthless, kid." An old man's voice came from across the tea table.

Bontou smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "Your teaching is truly excellent, Jia Paer Japar."

The person sitting opposite him was none other than the Sword Saint Gapar.

Jia Paer swirled his teacup. "Come on, I just told you when you were little that you should be decisive."

"Hahaha."

Bontou smiled, then turned serious and said:

"So, do you already have an answer regarding the request for you to inherit and teach our country's traditional Weapon Skill?"

"Of course I'd be happy to learn more of the Weapon Skill that you're about to pass down, and I'm also happy to teach any talented people along the way."

"That's wonderful." Bontou was about to raise a glass of tea in place of wine to celebrate.

"But have you really thought this through?"

Jia Paer's words left his hand, which was holding a glass, hanging in mid-air.

"Although it may sound blasphemous, the God of War is a very stingy deity. He only recognizes Weapon Skill and will not bestow blessings upon magic Warrior who are proficient in both Weapon Skill and magic. Do you really want to promote magic Warrior throughout the country?"

Bontou put down his teacup and said:

"This is the hope for our country's future."

Seeing this, Jia Paer said nothing more, taking small sips of his hot tea, and said:

"Alright, I didn't come here entirely to see you, kid. I heard my daughter ran off to your place and all she does is run around and get into trouble. She's such a worry."

Upon hearing this, Bontou paused, then said with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"The general of that rescue army is your daughter."

"Puff--"

Jia Paer spat out a mouthful of hot tea.
