Life Dungeon Game

The situation with the Verola is far too complex, especially its ability to indiscriminately pull people and traverse vast distances in a short period of time, which could potentially cause immense damage.

Although Hao Yi, who currently controls the Verola, seems to have a favorable impression of Middle-earth, the thoughts of such a being are unfathomable.

Therefore, Yang De, as the head of the overseas department of the research institute, hoped to release some information about the Verola, especially the bizarre game of self-destruction, so that the staff of the research institute could maintain basic vigilance.

After all, the most difficult thing to figure out in that game is that the two seemingly NPC 'chef' and 'flight attendant' are actually players, and that all players are actually divided into factions.

These two points, especially the first 'NPC', are both about the player. They are like an extremely thin and hard-to-detect barrier. Before you figure them out, your mind can't get out of it. Once you figure them out, you can break through it with just a gentle poke.

Yang De's idea was to directly disclose these difficulties and reveal the internal operating rules of the entire train, so that the people at the research institute wouldn't be caught off guard if they encountered them in the future.

However, doing so would inevitably offend 'Hao Yi,' since he is now the owner of the Verola. If he knew that information about his extraordinary items had been published so directly, he might change his attitude towards the research institute.

Therefore, while releasing this information, it is also necessary to express the research institute's goodwill towards 'Hao Yi'.

The final suggestion came from He Ao, but his suggestion was to find a party involved and have them participate in the writing of the report to be published, in order to express goodwill towards 'Hao Yi'.

Although it was a little strange to join a group of people in discussing how to express goodwill towards one's other identity, He Ao still gave advice very seriously.

Because the information the research institute was going to release actually had no impact on him anymore. The game of killing each other was actually part of a ritual on the Verola. Now that the ritual had been destroyed, the game was naturally useless.

Currently, all the information the research institute possesses has little impact on He Ao, as it is mostly information that He Ao intentionally leaked to the research institute after screening.

This actually includes Hao Yi's goodwill.

Of course, the research institute itself is aware of these factors, but when considering problems, they must always consider the worst-case scenario, because they cannot afford to be negligent; they need to...

Take responsibility for the lives behind you.

The final result of the discussion was that Wu Lan took on the task.

At that time, He Ao thought that Wu Lan would find Luo Luo, the 'pseudo-loli' who had entered the train at the time, to be the subject of the narrative and write a more formal report, since Luo Luo herself was one of Wu Lan's subordinates.

He never expected that Wu Lan would eventually ask Lin Chichi to do this, and even write such a dramatic little story.

However, to be fair, the reach of these kinds of stories is indeed more effective than push notifications.

Even if that report were actually published, not many people would necessarily read it carefully. However, a little story with a hint of secret information like this could easily ignite everyone's excitement.

In particular, Lin Chichi's writing is indeed quite good, and her attitude as a 'little fan of Hao Yi' truly expresses her goodwill towards 'Hao Yi'.

However, He Ao knew very well that this girl was very smart and good at using her emotions and attitudes to win favor, so her 'little fangirl' might not be a real fangirl, but could simply be someone who wanted to complete the research institute's mission.

However, to say that she didn't believe in any of the Ao's, when Ao asked her to 'die,' she readily agreed.

What is true may be false, and what is false may be true.

He Ao stopped thinking about the problem and went back to the forum, where he took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat of the ministers in the overseas departments.

This screenshot is from the comment by the person who said "Let's go online together when we're free".

He Ao: [Image]

He Ao: [@Wu Lan, Sister Lan, is this 'Let's surf the internet together when we're free' your alternate account?]

Wu Lan: [Oh, you found out! He Ao, you're really something. Let's go online together sometime.]

He Ao: [······

Wu Lan: [Oops, wrong address. I've never been online, so I don't know if it's a small...]

[Wu Lan's message has been withdrawn by the administrator.]

[Wu Lan has been banned by the administrator]

Yang De: [Pay attention to your speech]

[Wu Lan has been unbanned by the administrator]

Wu Lan: [I understand, Director Yang. /Feeling wronged]

Ji Po: [Hahaha]

Wu Lan: [I'll laugh myself to death]

Yang De: [Wu Lan did a good job this time; this approach to popularizing knowledge is excellent.]

Wu Lan: [That's right, hahaha, but it's mainly because He Ao's suggestion was good.]

He Ao: [I just casually suggested an idea, but to be able to do it so well, Sister Wu Lan is really amazing.]

Wu Lan: [Haha, He Ao's brother is really good at talking/laughs]

Yang De: [Alright, stop praising each other. @He Ao, I have a question. Besides us and Director Liu, who else knows your real identity?]

He Ao: [Zhang Anxia, ​​head of Xidu Research Institute, and Liu Nan of Xidu Research Institute, know my identity. Lin Chichi and Luo Luo from the last incident have both seen my face.]

Yang De: [Are there any other people?]

Ji Po: [During the last chaotic battle, did anyone from the Moonlight Empire of the Tia Empire or the World Tree of the Western Lands see you?]

Wu Lan: [Of the C-level who came last time, only two are left. Those two don't seem to have met He Ao's brother. They've been on the other side all along, and they've been corrupted by that angel. Their mental state is already somewhat abnormal.]

Yang De: [Has anyone in B-level film ever seen your face?]

Heo: [Yes, Sloan.]

Sloan was a B-rank agent sent by the 'Moonlight' organization of the Tia Empire last time.

He was eventually killed by He Ao and Liu Zhengyun working together.

Yang De: [Has Jodel ever seen you?]

He Ao: [No, he was on the other side of the Verola at the time and didn't notice me. Later, he was led away by Director Liu, and we never met.]

At first, Rudol didn't notice He Ao; his eyes were all on Liu Zhengyun. He Ao was quickly hidden by the Verola after he noticed him.

However, Snown carefully observed everyone from the moment he appeared, and naturally he wouldn't miss Heo, and Heo couldn't avoid him either.

Of course, there was another person who knew of He Ao's existence, and that was the 'boss' who was hiding in the shadows.

However, the 'boss' probably didn't pay any attention to him; his attention was entirely focused on the Verola and He Ao's clone, 'Hao Yi'.

After all, Heo's clone, who is currently the Dawn leader of the Alano region, has not yet received any information to be wary of Heo's real body.

Ji Po: [I suddenly realized a problem. Apart from us and the two girls who were rescued, are all the people who saw He Ao that day dead? Moreover, the C-levels were all killed by him, and only the B-level Sloan was killed by Director Liu and that 'Hao Yi'.

To be precise, Sloan was also killed with the help of Heo.

Wu Lan: [Holy crap, Yang Bu, where did you pick up this killer from? He's so handsome, I like him so much.]

He Ao: [······

He Ao: [Actually, I am a law-abiding and good person.]

He Ao still felt that he couldn't let others misunderstand him.

Ji Po: [······]

Wu Lan: [······]

He Ao: [Is there something you need me to do, Director Yang?]

Yang De: [A new entrance to the ruins is about to appear. This time, the location sensed by the Eye of the World fragment is Ellen, the capital of the Republic of Ruodan.]

Ji Po: [The Republic of Ruodan, that small coastal country on the southwestern edge of the western continent?]

Yang De: [Yes, since the turmoil that occurred five years ago, the Republic of Ruodan has been controlled by the power of the Qintia Empire. So it is the border between the World Tree and Moonlight's forces. According to our previous agreement, whoever discovers the ruins at such a border first shall own them.]

Wu Lan: [You want to... compete?]

Ji Po: [I think we can give it a try. Now that we are getting closer to the ruins, we don’t know when a large-scale change will occur. We need to accumulate enough power.]

Wu Lan: [But we don't have any spare hands either...]

Previously, research institutes had no resources to explore such ruins located at the border between the Western Turks and Tia.

Clearly, if we want to compete for this relic, this event requires a C-level individual to personally travel to the Republic of Ruodan. There must be a C-level individual overseeing the event for it to have any chance of success.

Previously, the research institute couldn't allocate so many personnel, but things are different now.

With He Ao, this extra C-level.

Moreover, with only one of the two B-rank rank 1s remaining in the Tia Empire and one of the two B-rank rank 1s in the Western Lands severely injured, this is the perfect time for the Research Institute to make its move.

At this moment, Yang De sent He Ao a private message.

Soldier (Yang De): [What do you think? We don't need to succeed this time, since it wasn't originally ours. But I think you can go out and take a look. The world is in turmoil lately, and the ruins are getting closer and closer. When the time comes, all forces will definitely gather there. You can get to know your future enemies and friends. All expenses for this trip can be reimbursed.]

In summary, this was a publicly funded trip.

Clearly, Yang De hoped to take this opportunity to let He Ao see the world, since He Ao was too young and had only been in the supernatural realm for a short time, lacking knowledge of the entire supernatural world.

Even if they know, it's only from written materials.

Moreover, this level of mission is not very dangerous for He Ao's combat capabilities.

He Ao did not reply immediately, but instead opened a report in the research institute's database.

This is a report that only ministers can access; the report contains background investigations on the passengers who previously boarded the Verola.

One of them was about Kim Ah.

[Jin Ya, head of the Dawn Alano region, codename Mystic, C-rank, was originally the second daughter of the last king of the Kingdom of Ruodan. After the fall of the kingdom, she disappeared and was killed by Hao Yi on the Verola.]

The Kingdom of Ruodan was the predecessor of the Republic of Ruodan.

Kim Ah is the 'boss's' absolute confidante.

He Ao fell into a brief moment of thought.

Successfully sent at 12:30! Future updates should be around this time.

Chapter 496 Ambush? (Long chapter, please vote!)

Alarno

Night had fallen when He Ao emerged from the pirate ship, stood on the deck, and gazed at the bright moon over the sea.

His 'assistant' Nodin came to see him once in the afternoon, but he was in a dungeon at the time and did not reply. Nodin was also stopped outside by the pirates guarding the outside.

Although Heo is nominally Dawn's temporary head in the Alano region, in reality, almost all of Dawn's information is handled by his assistant, Nordin, instead of him.

This assistant, Nordin, is the 'boss's' man, and Heo is now basically in a semi-powerful position.
