Huh? What do you mean your mother is one of the seven deadly sins?!

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, waiting quietly for Lin Ruowei to speak.

"Based on the information gathered by the assault team over the past ten days, after entering the Desire Realm, you will be randomly teleported to various parts of the world, a world ruled by demons where the gods have declined!"

"Humans in this world are not protected by the gods; they are merely food for demons."

"In this world, the task force has not yet discovered any absolutely safe place."

"The most powerful demon races among them are the Balrog, Blood Demon, and Succubus..."

"But don't despair completely, because the reason the Desire Realm is called that is that when you encounter life-threatening danger, you can seek help from succubi, and they will provide you with protection."

"Although succubi will drain your life essence, they will not kill you immediately. You will only die after your life essence has been drained for three consecutive days. Compared to other demon races, this is considered a peaceful death..."

After hearing this, Lin Xia smiled speechlessly, but what the female war goddess said did seem to make some sense.

Lin Ruowei then went on and on about many other things.

Useful information is scarce, but it is all experience gained through life lessons.

Therefore, Lin Xia kept them all in mind.

After Lin Ruowei finished speaking, she seemed to be unable to control her emotions any longer, and tears streamed down her face.

Looking at the group of students, his eyes were full of pity, but he still clapped his hands and signaled the soldiers to come forward and give Lin Xia and the others a blank sheet of paper one by one.

"This piece of paper is a one-time-use teleportation device, used to transmit information about the Secret Realm of Desire to us. If you ever have the opportunity to obtain the power of that world's extraordinary system, remember to transmit it back to us, leaving a spark for the subsequent assault team!"

"The nation will remember your contributions!"

"To all, in tribute to the pioneers..."

"salute!"

After Lin Ruowei finished speaking, all the soldiers guarding the central entrance of the secret realm straightened their posture and saluted Lin Xia and the others.

Their eyes were filled with tears, sorrow and despair!

At that moment, Lin Xia understood!

It wasn't that the higher-ups wanted to force these students, who had just turned eighteen, to explore the world and die; it was just that the entire country and humanity were at a critical juncture.

There's really no other way.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia suddenly laughed, then returned the greeting and roared angrily:

"To sacrifice oneself for one's country in times of crisis, to regard death as returning home!"

Perhaps it was the atmosphere that infected them, or perhaps it was Lin Xia's words that moved them!

The students, who were initially frightened, now had eyes filled with fanaticism and faith, and they saluted and roared:

"The family genealogy should have a separate page; I'll be the first to burn incense on it!"

"Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death? Let my loyal heart shine in history."

"What are you afraid of? Stand up straight! To die for your country is the noblest way to die throughout history!"

"Mom and Dad, your son is unfilial; I cannot fulfill my filial duties at home!"

...........

The outburst lasted for several minutes before gradually quieting down.

Lin Ruowei didn't say anything more, but simply made way for the entrance to the central secret realm, her eyes red as she watched the students step into the purple vortex.

In this complex atmosphere, Lin Xia quickly arrived at the entrance. Just as she stepped inside, she seemed to hear a very faint murmur beside her.

"You came back alive..."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xia arrived at the central hub of the secret realm. Looking at the various entrances to the secret realms around him, Lin Xia did not hesitate and directly chose the entrance marked as the SS-level Desire Secret Realm!

The scene suddenly shifted, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be rapidly stirred, stretched, and reassembled by an invisible hand.

Lin Xia felt a strong sense of dizziness and weightlessness, as if she had fallen into a bizarre tunnel.

Just a few breaths later, their feet touched solid ground, and the uncomfortable teleportation sensation vanished abruptly.

Lin Xia steadied herself and immediately looked around warily.

The first thing that catches the eye is the rough, uneven stone path underfoot, covered with stains and suspicious dark marks.

A complex smell filled the air.

The damp, musty smell, the stench of feces, the faint odor of blood, and a sense of... a deep-seated, despairing oppression.

His modern clothes were gone, replaced by a set of rough linen clothes, patched and covered in dust, blending in with the surrounding environment.

He touched the fabric; it was so rough it hurt his hands.

Looking up, Lin Xia found herself standing on a narrow, winding street.

On both sides are rows of stone and wood houses, most of them low and dilapidated, with mottled walls and small windows, some of which are barely covered by rags or wooden boards.

The architectural style bears a distinct mark of medieval Europe, with spires and arches everywhere, but it lacks any aesthetic appeal, only appearing heavy and dilapidated.

The sky was overcast, and the sunlight seemed unable to penetrate the invisible haze, casting a somber hue over everything.

What made Lin Xia's heart clench the most were the people on the street.

They moved in twos and threes, some squatting in the corner, others with faltering steps.

Regardless of age or gender, almost everyone wore similar tattered clothes to him, with sallow complexions, thin bodies, and sunken eyes.

Their eyes... Lin Xia had never seen such utter numbness in the eyes of living people.

It wasn't weariness, nor sadness, but a hollowness as if the soul had been emptied, a complete indifference to everything, including one's own fate.

"Is this... a world kept as captive by demons?"

A 100% mortality rate is not an exaggeration.

Here, it seems that humanity itself has lost the will to live.

Lin Xia forced herself to calm down, refraining from rash actions or trying to strike up a conversation with any locals.

In such an unfamiliar and extremely dangerous environment, any rash action could lead to annihilation.

He first moved slowly, getting closer to the shadow of a house to reduce the time he was exposed in the middle of the street.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Lin Xia silently prayed in her heart.

"Properties panel".

The thought had barely formed in his mind when a semi-transparent screen with a bluish glow quietly appeared directly in front of him.

[Human: Lin Xia]

【Strength: 12】

【Spirit: 10】

【Perception: 6】

[Props: (A single-use letter: a one-time-use prop, written in blood, a message to family and country!)]

Below that is a function block that looks like a chat application icon.

A universal function for a single language.

That's all the news we've heard.

Lin Xia did not open the communication chat box.

Firstly, being a newcomer, he had no valuable information to share.

Secondly, being distracted while operating in a dangerous street is tantamount to suicide.

After reviewing her attributes, Lin Xia had a thought, and the blue light screen silently disappeared.

After closing the panel, Lin Xia's thoughts became clearer.

My talent is neither good nor bad; my only weakness is that I have a low level of comprehension!

But the primary task at present is to collect information.

He needed to quickly understand the city's basic rules, the patterns of demonic activity, and the ways to acquire power.
