Chapter 88 Taking Stock of the Harvest
"What were those things just now?" Theresa asked, puzzled. "Those red threads."
"It might be something like cause and effect," Xu Yuan said.
"Cause and effect? Is the other end connected to her world?"
"If that were the case, they wouldn't have stopped her from leaving. The other end is probably connected to Hell Communications."
Xu Yuan did not believe that the dense, red lines that occupied most of the blood-red sky were connected to users and cursed individuals of Hell Communication in the real world.
That many people haven't died in the real world yet.
It is more likely that the countless, intense, chaotic, and persistent resentments that Enma Ai harbored during her four hundred years as Hell Girl created the unbreakable connection between her and Hell Correspondence.
Those red lines, like spider silk, formed a huge spider web.
And at the end of the spider web lies Hell Communication.
Enma Ai is its puppet.
Even if those red threads could be severed and Enma Ai sent back, the final result would probably just be that Hell Correspondence creates a new Hell Girl in the real world.
Therefore, the real target that needs to be expelled is actually Hell Communication, not Enma Ai.
However, Hell Communication has no physical form.
It's just a ghost story; it probably doesn't even have any consciousness.
Physical attacks are completely ineffective against it.
The same applies to magical attacks.
The only solution Xu Yuan could think of was to erase it using the very origin of the world.
He tried, but the system indicated that the quantity was insufficient.
After all, he only had a tiny bit left.
It's still of the [virtual] attribute, and its quality is only red.
After Hell Communication came into the real world, it may have already formed some kind of connection with the real world.
Resentment is the most inexplicable and inexplicable thing.
"I can only hope that nothing bad happens for now."
"Is that kid dangerous?" Theresa asked.
Xu Yuan was speechless: "Kid? She's four hundred years old."
Theresa: "?"
"Her body has simply stopped growing," Xu Yuan said. "The danger isn't her, but the Hell Communications behind her."
"How dangerous is it?" Theresa asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment.
He once jokingly wondered if Enma Ai would be too busy if Hell Communications went out of control.
But after seeing that thing today, he found it hard to be so naive as to think that way.
It won't be so easily restricted.
At that time, countless Enma Ais might appear, like clones.
"If it gets out of control, the deaths of tens of millions of people would be the least of it; that thing could overturn the order of human society."
As Xu Yuan spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Resentment, isn't that something everywhere in human society?
The temptation to easily kill someone you hate simply by writing down their name is too great.
As for the price of going to hell after death—
How many people really care about what happens after death?
It's like every pack of cigarettes has a warning printed on it: "Smoking is harmful to your health," but aren't there still smokers everywhere?
It is very difficult for humans to resist that kind of temptation.
Fortunately, anyone in the world who isn't a fool should know how dangerous this thing is.
Presumably, some preventative measures will be taken.
After returning from Enma Ai's residence, Xu Yuan began making final preparations.
-
After clearing out the fantasy creatures, his score increased from 295 to 1185.
Well, after all, the spatial nodes weren't processed.
Simple bounty missions yield relatively few points.
In addition, there are five silver treasure chests.
They are from Baki Hanma, Kenichi Shirahama, Miu Furinji, Kenshin Himura, and Kaoru Kamiya.
As for the world of Ajin, the protagonist didn't come here.
Xu Yuan hasn't touched any of these things yet.
After bringing Theresa and the others back to the world of Claymore, there will be a wave of bounty mission rewards.
He wasn't in a hurry to open those silver treasure chests either.
Because Theresa's quest includes a diamond chest.
Despite not being the main character, he still possesses a treasure chest; truly a soul of the work.
Diamond Chests are only available to S-rank players.
Although it's a bit meager to only get five silver treasure chests as a cushion, there's nothing we can do about it.
We can't just shut down the spatial nodes for this, can we?
It's worth noting that in the past month or so, only one new spatial node has appeared: Baki.
This frequency is significantly lower than before.
But the problem of loosening global barriers has not been solved.
The situation is a bit unusual.
It should be understood that the fantasy world has its own world will.
They probably already know about his and the system's existence, so they won't be foolish enough to throw their lives away anymore.
Therefore, all existing spatial nodes are very valuable.
Closing them just to get a few treasure chests to use as a buffer for diamond treasure chests is a classic case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.
The core of the world, the origin of the world, is far more precious than a mere diamond treasure chest.
Xu Yuan turned his gaze to the pile of greatswords.
There were originally twenty-five.
I previously used three [Hardwood Staffs] to upgrade to blue, and then fed two more [Walnut Wood Proverbs].
There are now twenty left.
He fed the "Walnut Wood Proverb" another one.
As a result, no quality improvement prompt appeared.
The system once said that consuming a piece of equipment of the same quality would generally increase the advancement progress by 30% to 40%.
The [Hardwood Staff] was upgraded after absorbing three.
But the proverb of walnut wood won't work.
It seems there are differences between different equipment, and the quality of these swords is probably not very high.
The equipment evaluation also stated that their casting process was rough.
Xu Yuan fed it a fourth one.
The "Walnut Wood Proverb" grants a new trait—Rapid Fire (100% faster bullet reload speed)
Is there a promotion opportunity?
If you decline the promotion, your application materials will not be returned.
rapid fire.
It's a good feature, but unfortunately it's useless to Xu Yuan.
His pistol only has a one-round ammunition capacity.
Moreover, he always loads the gun in advance, takes it out when needed, and puts it away after use.
For example, right now, there's a solid-attribute energy bullet stored in the gun.
Xu Yuan tried all the attributes.
The energy bullet with the real attribute was found to be the most powerful.
However, what really made Xu Yuan feel that this characteristic was not suitable for him was that [Rapid Fire] was suitable for people who mainly used firearms in combat.
Speeding up bullet loading is only meaningful when it is frequently needed.
He doesn't have that kind of fighting style.
He even often forgot about this secondary weapon.
It's a gun that I only use occasionally, and it only has one round of ammunition.
So what's the point of rapid firing?
"Give up the promotion."
The walnut wood proverb fell back into Xu Yuan's hands.
He then fed it a greatsword.
To Xu Yuan's slight surprise, no promotion notification appeared.
Wait, the progress bar has been reset?!
He thought that at least the progress he had made would be preserved.
But guess what? It was completely wiped out?!
Xu Yuan shook his head and carefully put the "Walnut Wood Proverb" away again.
There are seventeen greatswords left.
He didn't know how easy it was to obtain this item in the world of "Claymore," so he decided to hold off on advancing for now.
Anyway, he doesn't use this gun much.
"Well, it's time to get going."
