Bluffing, Keep On Bluffing

For the next few days, Xiao Yu kept a close eye on the reality show.

Because it's a 24-hour live stream, you can watch it from beginning to end if you want.

This lasted for five or six days.

In the preceding days, Naiser and his team had explored two alien ruins. In one of the ruins, they encountered a powerful alien monster, resulting in the loss of two members during their escape. However, they were then struck by luck when they discovered a hidden armory in another alien ruin. They opened the armory and armed themselves with alien weapons, greatly enhancing the team's strength.

Throughout the entire series, Naiser's command and coordination as a captain were quite commendable.

When they first entered the game, they were completely empty-handed. They had to explore dangerous alien ruins, and death meant real death (as they understood it). The pressure must have been immense. But unexpectedly, Naiser managed to pull through. Xiao Yu even began to admire him. No wonder he was a man who could compete with him in the game; he certainly had some skill—although he was still a bit inferior to him.

He was quite Naiser what Nesser was thinking at that moment.

As the leader of the twelve members, Naiser had very mixed feelings.

He had almost given up hope, but unexpectedly encountered such an opportunity, so he seized it decisively, even though he knew that one wrong step could lead to death (as he thought).

Although dying in the game means permanent death, he believed that with his skills, he still had a good chance of surviving.

According to the promise made by the two agents from the Heavenly Eye Bureau, as long as he completes his mission and returns, his past crimes will be forgiven, he will be released, and he will become a free man.

However, he had a better plan than freedom.

Based on his understanding of the game and the information he had gathered over the past few days, he had gained a general understanding of the Phantom Spirit Race's technology.

This alien race, unlike humans with physical bodies, is a spiritual race. They are a special life form, living in the universe as spiritual beings, which gives them a unique cultivation method that differs from that of ordinary races.

Just as humans can become stronger through exercise, the Phantom Spirit Race can also exercise, but they train their minds. When they reach a certain level of training, they can use mental abilities such as mind control, mind reading, and psychic shocks.

Furthermore, the methods these Phantom Spirit Race use to cultivate their spiritual abilities are also hidden within this game.

Naiser's idea was simple: if he could learn these cultivation methods, bring them back to reality, and then cultivate powerful psychic abilities, wouldn't he become a superman? Then he could finally avenge his great grudge.

Naiser's target for revenge was none other than Xiao Yu, who had twice caused him to suffer a crushing defeat. If he could barely accept that Xiao Yu had defeated him the first time in the Demon King Tournament —after all, that was his own doing.

However, he could not forgive Xiao Yu for the second defeat and the tragic situation he had fallen into. It could be said that Xiao Yu was the one who caused his tragic fate. In any case, he only had hatred for Xiao Yu. If hatred was a weapon, then he would continue to hone that weapon during this adventure until the day he returned to reality.

(When I get back to Xiao Yu, I'll make you understand how much of a bad person you messed with. Hmph, I should thank you, actually. If you hadn't given up this opportunity, how could it have been my turn? Once I gain powerful superpowers, I'll make you regret it.)

As he pondered this, he led his team toward the ruins of an alien colony ahead.

Xiao Yu was unaware that he had already been added to Naiser's revenge blacklist. He was currently watching Naiser's adventures on TV while eating popcorn and drinking beer, having a great time. If he knew Naiser's thoughts, he would probably be even happier.

Just then, a doorbell rang.

Xiao Yu stood up somewhat annoyed. Fortunately, the reality show could be replayed. Xiao Yu turned off the TV, walked to the door, and looked outside through the glass in the door.

Two men in black suits stood expressionless on the lawn outside the door. One was slightly older, looking to be in his forties or fifties, while the other appeared to be only in his early thirties.

Upon seeing the two guys' attire, Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Could they be staff members from "Great Hero of Humanity" again? The two guys' outfits were quite ordinary, without any pretentious props like sunglasses, but their sharp aura served a similar purpose.

He opened the door and glanced at the two of them. "You two need something from me."

"Hello, we are agents from the National Guard Bureau. We need to investigate something with you." The older man in the suit took out a work badge and measured it.

Xiao Yu had never seen the National Guard Bureau's credentials before, so he didn't look at them closely.

The National Guard Bureau is an intelligence agency on par with the National Network Bureau and the National Security Bureau; its full name is the National Order Protection General Bureau.

For Xiao Yu, it was the same as the other two departments—the kind of department that only existed on television and in the news.

Normally he might have been a little nervous, but this time he just felt speechless. (Damn it, they've become agents of the National Guard Bureau again. How novel! They're trying to fool me in different ways.) Xiao Yu was almost certain that these two guys were from the "Great Hero of Humanity" program team. He just didn't know what kind of story they had made up to fool him this time.

"So, what brings you two here to see me?"

The young agent replied calmly, "Can we go inside first and then talk?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "I'll play along with you guys."

The security in Azure Cloud Residential Complex is top-notch, with comprehensive intelligent monitoring, so he is not worried about any danger.

Turning around, he let the two men into the house. "So what exactly are you two investigating?" Xiao Yu asked as he invited the two 'agents' to sit down.

"First, let me introduce myself. My surname is Li, and his surname is Zhang. You can call me Old Li and him Young Zhang. First, I must clarify one thing, Mr. Xiao: have you ever heard of a religion called [Moha Religion]? Moha is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word for future, so this religion is also called [Future God Religion]."

The Future God Religion? Xiao Yu was taken aback, wondering what on earth this was.

Xiao Yu immediately shook his head. "I've never heard of it. What is this Future God Religion you're talking about?"

"The Future God Religion is a cult that has always been on our National Guard Bureau's blacklist. However, the members of this cult are very secretive, so almost no information has been found in the past few decades. But in the past two weeks, the Future God Religion has begun to take action. Three people have come forward as suspected victims of murder by members of this cult. According to intelligence from our undercover agents within the organization, we have reason to believe that you will be the organization's fourth target."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Keep making things up. You bastard, you're Future God Religion or evil organization. You're getting more and more unreliable as a screenwriter. You have the nerve to use this kind of story to fool people."

"Does that mean this organization has already threatened human safety?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.

The two agents were taken aback.

"Well, theoretically you could say that."

Xiao Yu asked with a half-smile, "So you came to me wanting my help to defeat and destroy that cult?"

"Well, in principle, we generally don't put our protected individuals at risk. But if Mr. Xiao so confident, we're willing to set a trap to lure out these cult members and eliminate them once and for all."

Xiao Yu grabbed his hair, speechless. Were all the people on this show idiots? Did they think he didn't watch TV?

Or perhaps they thought he was a fool, believing they could be fooled by any made-up story. But whatever the case, he decided to stop being polite.

"So what does Mr. Xiao say?" the two agents asked politely.

"Roll!"

"What?" The young agent seemed unsure of what he had heard.

"I said—get out, Brother Wuen, get out!" Xiao Yu said, enunciating each word clearly.

The old agent's face darkened. "Mr. Xiao, I think you haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation."

"Of course I understand, I understand perfectly, I understand perfectly. Do you think I'm stupid? If you don't get out of here, I'm calling the police. Impersonating a member of the National Guard Bureau, I'd like to see how you get out of this." Xiao Yu said, picking up the phone.

The young agent seemed to lose his composure and suddenly stood up, but the older one grabbed his arm.

"There's no need for that, Mr. Xiao. We'll leave now. We're sorry to have bothered you."

As they spoke, the two old agents walked out.

As Xiao Yu watched the two figures disappear, a surge of anger still lingered in his heart. "Damn it, do they think I'm an idiot?"

"Forget it, I'll just watch Naiser's adventures for some fun." Thinking this, he turned on the TV again.
