Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 1255 Negative Emotions
Slaughter the newly born gods of the [Second World] and replace them.

This is the report that Garol submitted to the Senate.

……

In the report, Garol clearly explained the necessity of implementing this plan.

Garrol believes that the current research on "undead monsters" is in trouble.

In addition to problems with the direction, the means used for exploration also have shortcomings.

This may even be the fundamental reason why the research has not made any progress.

……

Although the birth of the undead monsters is rooted in the missing citizens of the empire and is inextricably linked to the "Niteraz".

But the birthplace of undead monsters is ultimately the [Second World].

Trying to bypass or completely eliminate the "influence" of the [Second World] and figure out the mystery of the undead monsters is no less difficult than draining the sea water and looking for a needle that fell into the sea.

……

Because the Dark Star Empire did not want to get involved in the muddy waters of the [Second World], this was the research route it had taken before.

But it turns out that this route simply doesn't work.

In this case, we should change our route and make full use of the power of the [Second World].

The gods' appearance was just right.

……

Although the appearance of gods in the [Second World] is equally incredible.

But the reasons behind this are not important.

All the empire needs is the authority and power of the gods to study "undead monsters".

……

Garol firmly believes that as long as researchers can obtain the power of God, they will be able to peek into the secrets of the "undead monster".

Because this is the limit of what the empire can do.

If it still can't be done, the empire might as well give up.

……

In fact, in addition to the [God-killing] route, there is also the [God-enshrining] route.

The Dark Star Empire can completely cooperate with the Diko Group and "forcibly" obtain the position of God in the [Second World].

Given the Dark Star Empire's status in the real world, it was impossible for the Diko Group to refuse.

……

Unfortunately, the Diko Group is too useless and has not yet completely controlled the [Second World].

In other words, it is impossible to enthrone a god.

The reason why Garol knew this inside story was because of the secret plan he had laid before.

……

Some time ago, extraordinary people from the inner world, represented by the Loose Cultivator Alliance, poured into the [Second World] on a large scale.

These guys, out of "jealousy", have caused a lot of trouble to Garol.

Garol is not a good-tempered person, so naturally he wants to take revenge.

So they began to win over and divide these extraordinary people, waiting for the opportunity to strike a heavy blow against them.

……

The secret information about the Di Ke Group was obtained from spies planted in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

For the Dark Star Empire, it is really easy to "bribe" the traitor in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

The extraordinary people in the inner world, especially the independent cultivators, simply cannot resist the temptation to join the Dark Star Empire and go to the outer world.

……

According to the traitor "in a high position", the Di Ke Group took the initiative to contact the Loose Cultivator Alliance, hoping to reach a cooperation.

The content of the cooperation is that the Di Ke Group wants to hire the Alliance of Loose Cultivators to help kill some special "NPCs" in the [Second World].

……

Although the Alliance of Loose Cultivators has always played the role of killers and mercenaries in the other world.

But this was the first time that I was hired to fight and kill in a game.

……

The Loose Cultivator Alliance never asks the reason for a mission, as long as they are willing to pay more money.

However, this time, the Loose Cultivator Alliance made an exception.

Because compared to these "outsiders", if the Di Ke Group wants to kill NPCs in the [Second World], it has a better choice of players.

……

Why not look for them?

After all, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has just entered the [Second World], so they have no choice but to be cautious.

……

In response to the questions raised by the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the Di Ke Group gave a direct explanation.

This was actually the thing they wanted to tell the Loose Cultivator Alliance about.

When killing NPCs, the Alliance of Loose Cultivators can only use extraordinary powers outside the [Second World].

Players naturally do not meet this requirement.

……

After learning this information, Garol didn't care too much.

But after the gods appeared in public, Garol suddenly realized.

The special NPCs that the Di Ke Group wants to kill must be these gods.

Because only they need the Diko Group to mobilize the extraordinary power outside the [Second World].

……

For this reason, Garol judged that there were major problems with the Diko Group's control over the [Second World].

Otherwise, they would not have to resort to "offline" means to deal with the NPCs in the game.

But it was this move by the Diko Group that inspired Garol.

……

Since the Diko Group can kill gods, why can't the Empire?

Anyway, there are 499 gods openly appearing in the world. What's the problem if the empire kills a few of them?
……

After Galor excitedly submitted the report, he waited for the empire's response with great joy.

As a result, he waited and waited, but the empire never gave a clear response to the plan to kill gods.

Fortunately, Garol is very busy now and has no time to "complain".

……

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't the undead monster very well behaved before? Why did it suddenly lose control?"

……

It was the day when Garol submitted the report on the godslaying, shortly after the gods appeared in public.

The undead monsters, which had always been "law-abiding" and "well-behaved" even when being constantly dismembered, suddenly rioted.

For the first time since its birth, the undead monsters began to actively "devour" humans.

……

Although undead monsters in the past hated humans extremely, because of their similarity to illusions, they could only devour their "reality" through contact with humans.

In this way, you only need to strictly control your contact with undead monsters.

The "threat" of undead monsters can be completely controlled.

Especially when the undead monsters themselves only possess "mortal" powers.

……

However, this time, everything was different.

Undead monsters actually began to devour things beyond [Reality] from humans.

Such a sudden change caught the researchers off guard.

……

"Emotions, the undead monsters are actively devouring our negative emotions!"

"Reality. When the undead monster devoured the negative emotions, it stopped devouring the reality."

"Or it could be said that it is precisely because the undead monster has stopped consuming reality that it has to consume negative emotions to maintain its existence!"

"The undead monster finally revealed its essence which is completely different from illusion."

……

The devouring ability displayed by the undead monster caused all the experimenters to fall into its trap.

It’s not the experimenters’ fault for being careless, but the undead monsters are too “insidious and despicable”.

Who could have expected that the undead monster would actively devour human negative emotions.

……

The experimenters whose negative emotions were devoured felt that they were in a particularly good mood and were extremely optimistic about the future.

There was no awareness that anything was amiss. Even Garol, who frequently inspected the work, did not initially notice anything amiss.

……

In the past, every time Garol went to the underground laboratory, it was gloomy and full of anxiety.

Even though Garol often cheered and encouraged, it had no effect.

……

During the recent inspections, the laboratory was filled with laughter and singing, and the faces of the experimenters were filled with unprecedented optimism.

Garol just thought that the experiment had made progress and didn't think anything bad about it.

……

After more than a dozen inspections, the experimenters were all smiling, but there was no result at all.

Only then did Garol finally realize that something was wrong.

If the experiment fails, everyone will be trapped in the second world. What's there to be happy about?

……

Upon noticing the abnormality, Garol immediately closed the laboratory and took the experimenters away.

Originally, Garol was worried that the undead monsters would escape without the supervision of the experimenters.

But to his surprise, the undead monster was still in its "mortal" state and had not escaped its imprisonment.

……

After separating from the undead monster, the experimenters quickly returned to normal.

But there are still some aftereffects.

For example, some subjects were more likely to feel depressed and have more negative emotions than before.

Some experimenters were "blindly optimistic", and their negative emotions were like dried-up springs, rarely flowing out.

……

Fortunately, these sequelae were "very mild" and did not have much impact on the experimenters' subsequent research.

Of course, this is also because Garol discovered it in time.

Otherwise, negative emotions will continue to be consumed, and big problems will definitely arise in the long run.

……

Perhaps it was because of "knowing shame leads to courage", the experimenters who returned to the laboratory soon made "new discoveries".

Then a rather bold hypothesis was born.

……

"Lord Garol, according to our detection, the status of the undead monsters has fluctuated!"

"When the state of the undead monster reaches the peak of fluctuation, it will be like an illusion, relying on the devouring of reality to exist!"

"But when its state is at its lowest point, the undead monster's ability to devour reality will disappear, and instead it will begin to devour negative emotions to maintain its existence."

"We believe that the nature of undead monsters has two sides, or is created by two forces!"

……

This was the first time that the experimenters got so close to the essence of the "undead monster".

Even though they paid some price, it was all worth it.

The only pity is that they only saw the "phenomenon" but still didn't know why the undead monsters had fluctuating states.

……

“No wonder you guys got caught.”

"No wonder you suffered less damage than expected!"

"Of course, this is also because I found and saved you in time."

……

After listening to the conclusion, Garol came to his own conclusion.

Garol believed that it was precisely because the undead monster could not devour negative emotions and reality at the same time that it gave the experimenters a chance to survive.

Otherwise, the experimenters who are unable to extricate themselves from the "happy state" will just be sucked dry by the undead monsters while laughing foolishly.

……

"Lord Garol, I really have to thank you very much this time."

"We will definitely record your contribution in detail in the new lab report!"

"Lord Garol, we seriously suspect that the undead monster's ability to devour negative emotions originated from the [Nitrez]."

"after all……"

……

For the first time since they started working together, the experimenters felt that this fat guy, Galor, was not completely useless.

They really wanted to share some of the credit for Garol's contribution to the new lab report.

After all, they still need Garol's help to cover up this "mistake", otherwise their mission evaluation will not look good.

……

"The ability to devour negative emotions?"

"That should be it!"

Garol did not care about the experimenters' "good intentions", but instead pondered for a long time on the final conclusion.

……

Since ancient times, it has not been easy for any medium-sized power to become a great power.

Especially when it comes to rallying people's hearts, it is extremely difficult.

The methods used by most kingdoms are nothing more than two types.

……

One is called interest redemption, which is to lure them with benefits.

The other is propaganda and education, or making empty promises.

Whether or not the people’s hearts can be united successfully depends entirely on how clever the methods used by each country are.

……

It is not that there are no medium-sized powers that want to use extraordinary means to unite the people.

However, the risks and costs involved are too great, and there are very few successful cases.

This is because the population that the supernatural power needs to act on is too large.

The hearts of hundreds of millions of people cannot be easily controlled by supernatural powers.

……

However, in the extraordinary world, nothing is absolutely impossible.

Even though it is extremely difficult to unite people with extraordinary power, there is still a possibility of success.

The Dark Star Kingdom is such a lucky one.

……

When the Dark Star Empire was still a kingdom, it was famous for being a "livable" place and having high levels of national happiness.

The citizens of the Dark Star Kingdom seem to be naturally more optimistic and more confident about the future than the people of other kingdoms.

……

From the outside, it seems that the Dark Star Kingdom is willing to spend a lot of money to improve the welfare of its citizens.

In its external propaganda, the Dark Star Kingdom claimed that this was the power of "democracy".

It was the Senate, which everyone was eligible to enter, that gave the people hope.

……

However, the truth is that the Dark Star Empire possesses a unique means of subtly absorbing the negative emotions of its citizens.

Even if the proportion of negative emotions absorbed is very low, the negative emotions of every citizen will be reduced a little.

Reflected at the national level, the happiness level has naturally increased.

……

It is precisely by relying on this method that the Dark Star Kingdom can catch up with or even surpass the dictatorial countries in rallying people's hearts.

And eventually build an empire.

As one of the middle and high-level officials in the empire, Garol naturally knew these secrets.

……

Even Garol knew that the Empire obtained the method of devouring negative emotions from the Fallen Star Cult.

Since the [Niteraz] is related to the Fallen Star Cult, it is not surprising that it can give undead monsters the ability to absorb negative emotions.

……

But is this really the truth?
For some reason, Garol remembered a secret mission given to him by the Senate.

That is to find back some of the lost power of the empire from the lost ten million citizens.

Although the Senate did not say it explicitly, the power that was "stolen" by the [Nitrez] should have originated from the Fallen Star Cult, right?
……

With this speculation in mind, Garol was full of "optimism" about the newly submitted report.

The Senate will definitely be unable to sit still this time, right?
