Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 1230 Life and Death
"Imperial Mercy!"

"Lord Garol is such a good man!"

"The Empire is protecting us so much, how could they use us for evil experiments?"

"Rumors, sowing discord, there must be some bad people behind this."

……

After a series of monster attacks, the Dark Star Empire's camp in the [Second World] returned to peace and tranquility.

All the citizens of Qiyao City regained their sanity and began to become reasonable.

All of this is naturally the result of the Empire's good teaching and has nothing to do with the "monsters".

……

"Oh, I knew it was useless!"

"How cruel! The Dark Star Empire is willing to kill its own citizens."

"How childish! This is not how big countries are always!"

"Forget it. It's enough to cause trouble to the Dark Star Empire and vent my anger."

……

In a huge city not far from the camp, many "bad guys" who were trying to sow discord were greatly disappointed.

Although they had not originally expected to inflict a "severe blow" on the Dark Star Empire, they were still unhappy that the riots were quelled so easily.

……

As outsiders, they naturally saw through Garol's little tricks clearly.

Those "monsters" that suddenly attack are all the players' "pets".

It was obvious that Garol had secretly hired players from several large guilds to brutally suppress his own people.

……

The citizens of Qiyao City are spineless. They gave in after only a few thousand people died.

Moreover, most of the deaths were caused by being trampled to death.

The players' "pets" simply don't dare to kill.

……

The reason why the extraordinary people from the inner world are so hostile to the Dark Star Empire.

It's not just because the Dark Star Empire acts in a domineering manner.

The most important reason is that the Dark Star Empire is too greedy.

In the past, they were exploited badly in order to build the aerospace aircraft carrier.

……

Now the Dark Star Empire has reappeared in the [Second World], although nominally to rescue its missing citizens.

But who knows if this was self-directed or self-acted?

Otherwise, if the person has already been found, why are you still hesitating and refusing to send him away?
……

Maybe he is eyeing the extraordinary resources of the [Second World].

The Dark Star Empire has a long history of this.

……

The extraordinary people instigated riots in the camp in order to force the Dark Star Empire to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, this is also a test to see what the Dark Star Empire wants to do?
Unfortunately, the "citizens" of the Dark Star Empire are too bullying and afraid of the strong, so all the efforts were in vain.

……

"Humph, they are all a bunch of bastards."

"It seems that after the empire's successful promotion, the people's mentality has become too impetuous!"

"We masters can float, but are you worthy?"

"Education must be strengthened severely."

……

In the camp, Garol "kindly" comforted the injured.

Wherever we went, there was gratitude and applause.

Just as the extraordinary people judged, "Monsters Attack" was directed and acted by Garol himself.

He didn't even pay a penny for the performance.

……

After inspecting all the wounded, Garol came to a secret underground space.

Thousands of citizens who died in the previous riots were all neatly placed here.

Although compared to the 300 million "missing people" in the camp, a mere 1000 people are not many.

But this is still a blow to the empire's reputation.

……

Logically speaking, Garol should be very worried at this time.

After all, these casualties were caused by his "poor performance".

However, there was no trace of anxiety on Garol's face at this moment.

……

"how is the situation?"

"Have these dead changed in any way?"

"You have been researching for so long, have you found anything?"

After looking at the corpse for a while, Garol curiously asked the busy experimenters around him.

……

These guys have been conducting physical examinations on the "missing citizens" all along.

It was also at the "suggestion" of these guys that Garol arranged this "monster attack".

Otherwise, Garol has plenty of ways to divide and disintegrate the protesting crowd, and there is no need to make the situation so embarrassing.

……

The reason why Garol cooperated so well with these experimenters was because the orders came from the Senate.

Don't be fooled by the surface. It is Garol who dominates everything in the [Second World].

But whether those rescued people can return to the empire is up to these experimenters.

……

"Mr. Garol, based on our research into the 300 million missing citizens, we can now draw the following conclusions."

"First, they are indeed the citizens of Qiyao City who disappeared before, and their fate is still entangled with the empire."

“This is also the main basis for determining that they are not impersonated.”

"Second, they are still mortals. They have not awakened any extraordinary powers, nor have they acquired any gaming skills from the second world."

"It's strange, but we really couldn't detect any life-level changes in them."

"Of course, this may also be because we only entered the [Second World] as game characters, our abilities were greatly restricted, and our detection methods were limited."

……

Faced with Garol's question, the busy experimenter did not find it troublesome, but answered it seriously.

The experimenters deliberately emphasized the tone when they said "missing citizens are still human beings."

To show that this is very important, Garol understands this very well.

……

After the Dark Star Empire was promoted to a great power, the extraordinary did not flourish everywhere.

But it is not the case that there is not a single extraordinary person in Qiyao City, which has a population of tens of millions.

On the contrary, there are more than 100,000 extraordinary people in Qiyao City.

……

However, what was strange was that the [Nitelez] did not attack the extraordinary people in Qiyao City.

This is really strange.

For some reason, the Dark Star Empire also concealed this fact.

……

It is a common practice in major countries to conduct physical examinations on citizens after they are rescued after being kidnapped.

After all, the people are the foundation of a great country. It would be very bad if they were adulterated or even secretly poisoned.

The big countries in the outer ring world are truly "battle-hardened and knowledgeable" in this regard.

Although the Dark Star Empire has not yet migrated to the Outer Rim World, it still maintains the necessary "vigilance".

……

What's more, the ship that kidnapped the citizens was the [Nitelaiz], and the missing citizens were sent to the [Second World].

Either of these two factors can have a subtle impact on the missing citizens.

It is completely natural for the Dark Star Empire to conduct more inspections.

……

However, no matter how the experimenters tested, they could not find any abnormalities in the missing person's body.

It was as if these missing citizens were not affected at all from beginning to end.

But how is this possible?

……

Although the Dark Star Empire is absolutely the strongest in the Inner Ring World.

However, the inspectors who entered the [Second World] did not enter in person.

They simply created a new gaming account.

...It’s not that the Dark Star Empire’s fist is not strong enough to obtain the original chip from the Diko Group.

It’s just that the Dark Star Empire has too many concerns and doesn’t want to get involved in the muddy waters of the [Second World].

Otherwise, they would not be so hesitant about "bringing back" the missing citizens.

……

Although there is nothing wrong with the test results, even the experimenters themselves cannot guarantee that the results are 100% correct.

Bringing the missing citizens back to the real world is simple. It is just a matter of setting up a ritual and consuming some of the power of the pillars of national destiny.

But what if there is something wrong with these missing citizens, and some entity is playing tricks in the "return" process?
……

For example, the [Second World] would use the connection between these missing citizens and the pillars of national destiny to drag the entire Dark Star Empire into the [Second World].

Although this is a bit far-fetched, the Dark Star Empire has to guard against it.

It is for this reason that the Dark Star Empire did not allow the rescuers to "travel through it in person".

……

When conventional detection methods are "ineffective", testers try to obtain more data for the safety of the Dark Star Empire.

We had to "go with the flow" and support Galor to be more radical in order to obtain some more special testing materials.

The "trampled" corpses that now filled the hall were their harvest.

……

"Lord Garol, this is the result of our experiment this time!"

"First of all, these citizens can be killed by the monsters in the game!"

"Although the vast majority of deaths were caused by people being trampled to death by each other."

"But a few still accidentally died under the claws of monsters!"

……

The experimenter pointed to several mutilated bodies with claw marks clearly visible.

Although "Monster Attack" was a pre-designed script, the hired players did not dare to actually kill anyone.

But the scene was too chaotic at the time, and accidental injuries were inevitable.

……

"Are they really dead?"

"Is there anything special about the body?"

Garol looked at the bodies carefully, but did not see anything wrong.

Of course, Garol also knew that what he saw was just the surface.

The final conclusion still depends on these experimenters.

……

"Lord Garol, they are indeed completely dead."

"We have verified with the Imperial Headquarters that these deceased have lost their connection with the Pillar of National Destiny."

"Their deaths looked perfectly normal, no different than those of the humans who were trampled to death."

"Both the degree of decay of the corpse and the loss of life elements are consistent with normal human death."

……

The experimenters provided a long list of data, confirming that the victims were either killed by "monsters" or "trampled to death".

There is no difference in the form of existence of the remains.

If Garol had not seen the joy on the experimenter's face, he would have thought that the experiment had failed again.

……

"Lord Garol, we didn't find anything unusual on the body of the deceased."

“But on another level, we’ve finally made a discovery.”

"After these humans died, there was no resentment at all!"

“This is very unusual!”

……

The experimenters excitedly shared their findings.

Any life in the world, even an insignificant cell, will give rise to "resentment" after death.

After the resentment is born, the vast majority (99%) will "chase" the murderer like a curse.

The remaining part will remain on the corpse, as if to "remember" oneself.

……

The experimenters tested 1000 recently dead bodies.

The result was that no resentment was detected at all.

And they not only examined the body, they also did not let the "murderer" go.

But still no resentment was found.

……

"We believe that there are only two hypotheses that can explain this phenomenon."

"The first is that resentment was indeed born, but it was swallowed up by the [Second World] the moment it was born, or it was wiped out!"

"The second is that resentment never came into being, or in other words, these dead people never died."

"As long as they are not dead, there will be no resentment."

"Based on our understanding of the [Second World], it is clear that the first scenario is more reasonable."

……

Although the experimenters said that the first hypothesis was more reasonable.

But they obviously did not give up on the second hypothesis, otherwise they would not have told Garol specifically.

……

Garol understands why the experimenters were so concerned about the second hypothesis.

Because the first assumption is too general.

The elimination of resentment only means that the [Second World] is even less suitable for the existence of resentment.

But if the second assumption is true, there are many things involved.

At least it can prove that these "missing citizens" have indeed "mutated".

……

“It’s good to find something!”

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, wait and see!"

"If the second hypothesis is true, these people will definitely come back to life."

"But no matter what, these missing citizens cannot be sent back to the real world now!"

"Let the Senate decide what to do next!"

……

Garol doesn't care which scenario is the truth.

All he needed to know was that there was indeed a problem with the "missing citizens".

In this way, these thousands of citizens could be said to have died a worthy death and made contributions to the empire.

……

In fact, Garol knew very well in his heart that the Empire had offered a high price to rescue these missing citizens.

But it's really just a show.

If the Empire really wanted to "save people", there was no need for it to mess around in the [Second World] and it could just bring people back through its national destiny.

……

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the appearance of the "missing citizens" in the [Second World] must be a trap.

How could the empire be willing to fall into a trap just for the sake of so-called soft-heartedness?

……

Of course, the empire's reputation must be preserved, and the "culprit" cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

That's why Garol and others appeared in the [Second World].

The purpose is to catch any clues of the "murderer".

……

"xxxxx!"

What Garol and the others didn't know was.

Just as they were "touching" and "commenting" on the corpse.

Among the thousands of corpses, 1/10 of them had "ghosts" floating on them.

These "ghosts" were cursing at them and even beating and kicking them.

……

Unfortunately, the two sides seem to be in different dimensions.

These "ghosts" cannot be discovered by Garol and others at all, nor can they cause any harm to them.

After struggling for a while, the "Ghost" found that it could not do anything to Garol and the others, so it chose to give up.

……

But these dead souls have not completely disappeared.

Instead, they began to worship a great being in the depths of the world.

When they were on the verge of death, they sensed that great existence and were able to "survive" by chance.

Otherwise, he would be completely dead just like the other people lying dead beside him.
