Their commission was suspicious.

Not every world has such a special entity responsible for managing it.

Chen Luo didn't know who controlled the world's operation. But based on his experience of never being beaten up in so many worlds, he could say with certainty that things like the Heavenly Dao or world consciousness wouldn't interfere with him.

After all, I abide by the law... well, not really.

But at least I won't destroy the world, right?

But as the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings. Although the will of Heaven doesn't seem to care much about Chen Luo, there are others who do.

For example, in a certain special sense, there is indeed an entity that manages a part of the world.

For example, the Honkai Impact 3rd's Honkai consciousness, and the two major suppressive forces in the Type-Moon world.

Chen Luo wasn't sure if the Honkai Consciousness of Honkai Impact 3rd was managing the world, but the Honkai World was indeed a small territory of the Honkai Consciousness, and at least for now, it was training the entire Earth.

Furthermore, the Honkai world also possesses two supreme beings: the Imaginary Number and the Quantum Sea. These divide the entire world.

However, Chen Luo never encountered the question of whether or not he could enter the Honkai World, because he should have a good relationship with the Honkai Consciousness, the Imaginary Tree, the Quantum Sea, and Chen Luo.

The Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea are not exactly world-managing entities; they merely compete with each other and incidentally create new worlds. They don't really manage the things within them, since an individual or even a world is extremely insignificant to them.

As for the Honkai consciousness... Chen Luo, although he still doesn't know who the Honkai consciousness sitting above him is, he always feels that it might have some connection with him.

That's why Chen Luo never encountered any obstacles in the Honkai world.

However, the Type-Moon world is different. At least with the Root always floating there and not doing anything, the two Counterforces are the managers responsible for managing the world.

Two major inhibitory forces

One is Gaia, and the other is Alaya-vijnana.

Gaia is the manifestation of the Earth's own will.

Alaya-vijnana is the collection of all human consciousness.

When someone threatens the survival of humanity, it is suppressed by the Alaya consciousness.

The threat to the planet's survival was suppressed by Gaia.

But that doesn't mean they are human beings or guardians of the Earth.

They were simply existing, wanting only to survive.

They will exterminate and suppress any behaviors or organisms that threaten their existence.

For them, there is no distinction between good and evil; the only question is whether something threatens their survival.

Although Chen Luo did not intend to destroy humanity or the world, the problem is that Chen Luo is an outsider.

So they were targeted severely.

"..." After pondering for a moment, Chen Luo quietly stepped out of the bar and looked up.

"Clang!" A strange bell rang out, seemingly coming from a great distance, yet clearly reaching Chen Luo's ears.

"Screech!!!"

"Holy crap, no way, that's ruthless?" Hearing the bell, he thought of a possible Chen Luo and instinctively hid back inside the bar, then hugged Snake tightly for a sense of security.

If we're talking about something related to bells in the Type-Moon universe, and also related to the two major counterforces, that's probably the only one.

Grand Assassin, the "Old Man of the Mountain"—Wang Hassan!

Grand Assassin!

The so-called Grand Servants are the seven riders who protect humanity and stand at the pinnacle of the era. They are seven heroic spirits selected from the Root and standing at the top of the seven classes. They are the means by which the Counter Force uses the Beast, a great calamity that harms primates.

From a purely rational perspective, Chen Luo, a person who could be resurrected after death, could calmly face any enemy.

At least you can revive after you die and run away quickly.

The problem is that this Grand Assassin excels at severing the undead.

In other words, if the other party really manages to kill Chen Luo in some way, Chen Luo will lose at least one fried egg.

The snake's resurrection ability... I'm really not sure if it will work or not without testing it.

But Chen Luo didn't want to try.

"Damn it, this is so targeted! They started with a bombshell that was absolutely aimed at me." Chen Luo cursed inwardly, quite annoyed.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt that he was not worthy of being sent down a Grand rank by the Restriction Force to eliminate him.

Do you think I'm capable of destroying humanity or the world? You overestimate me!

"But speaking of which, what would it be like if Grandpa Wang Hassan laughed for 10 minutes straight? I'm really curious." Chen Luo pondered, his reckless thoughts stirring since he wouldn't be harmed from the outside world once he was behind the bar.

"Chen Luo, are you alright? What happened?" Yakumo Yukari, who was standing to the side unaware of anything, asked.

"We've run into trouble," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo is indeed in trouble.

The other party is a very troublesome guy.

Although it's not impossible to turn the tables in a real fight.

But most importantly, Chen Luo came to this world to fulfill his wish, not to fight against the restraining force.

"..."

Although Chen Luo thought a lot the moment the bell rang, the actual time passed very quickly because the others simply did not understand what the bell represented.

During this time, the old bug standing in the basement, though seemingly doing nothing, still controlled the invisible bug to fly towards the bar.

What surprised the old bug was that the bar seemed to have no security, and the other party could come and go freely, but when the bug tried to invade the bar, it was as if it was blocked by an invisible wall.

As expected, the visitors were hostile and came prepared.

Upon discovering this, the old bug immediately dismissed all the bugs simulating a bar, then allowed them to gather their strength.

The old bug suspected that the other party's bar might be some kind of spatial artifact, and it also had a considerable degree of protective properties. If possible, it would be better to wait until the other party left the bar and entered the bug chamber before launching an attack.

Moreover, the old bug was also very curious about their purpose in coming.

However, for some reason, the other party seemed to sense some kind of danger as soon as they stepped into the insect chamber and quickly retreated.

Could it be that they've sensed the terrifying power of insect magic?

As for the bell that the other party seemed to be very wary of, the old bug also heard it, but he didn't feel anything.

I didn't feel particularly dangerous.

After all, the bell wasn't ringing for the old bug.

All the insects were poised to attack, and thanks to this, Matou Kariya was able to escape the pain and barely manage to sit up and look at the bar.

"So you can't enter this world either? No way, Chen Luo, you have to think of something." After hearing Chen Luo's explanation, Yukari Yakumo was shocked.

Chen Luo only gave Yakumo Yukari some knowledge about the origin and concepts, but not about the inhibitory force.

When Yukari Yakumo first learned about these things, she did indeed feel a bit of a headache.

"Are you kidding me? Who am I?" Upon hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, Chen Luo immediately straightened his chest.

"Hold on and don't move!" Startled, Chen Luo, who was clinging to the snake for comfort, had just straightened his chest when the snake punched him.

"Oh. Okay, I won't hug you anymore. I need to discuss my wish with these guests." Chen Luo released Snake after being punched by Snake, then turned to face Old Bug and Matou Kariya.

I've had enough of hugging her, and it's only because we're on the second floor now that I'm here, otherwise Snake might not let me hug her at all.

After all, the snake's mouth is always stubborn and arrogant.

"Gentlemen, I am the owner of this Zero Point Bar, a traveler and puppeteer who studies all over the world and even different worlds. My greatest hobby is helping people fulfill their wishes. Do you two have any wishes?" Chen Luo looked at the old worm and the half-worm that had been eaten a lot by the worm with a kind expression.

"A puppeteer who grants people's wishes? Is it some strange family of magicians?" The old bug frowned.

The term "puppet master" is relatively easy to understand; it's a branch of magicians, much like an alchemist.

No, they're not the same. Alchemists at least have an academy, while puppeteers are just a handful of people, belonging to a relatively niche faction.

As for fulfilling wishes... sorry, anything related to normalcy has nothing to do with magicians.

You can never truly understand what a magician will do, but what they do is absolutely contrary to real-world ethics and laws.

Simply put, magicians do everything except do inhuman things.

Therefore, it is not impossible for someone to collect certain substances or other things from the soul to improve their magic or conduct experiments.

As for the phrase "traveling around the world and even different worlds" mentioned by the other party, Old Bug easily ignored it.

Traveling to other parallel worlds? Only the Second Law can make that possible.

Exaggerating or distorting one's own magic tricks to deceive others is also something a qualified magician should do.

"I'm not a magician, I'm just a traveler who grants people's wishes. You have to believe me."

"Heh." The old bug sneered.

I've lived for hundreds of years and I've never heard of such a thing existing in the world. If I could really have my wishes granted through you, what would I need the Holy Grail for?

"Help... Sakura." A very weak voice rang out.

"Hmm?" The old insect held his wooden staff and looked at Yan Ye, who was struggling to sit up like a dead dog in the insect storehouse.

"Oh, it seems someone actually believed me." Chen Luo looked at Matou Kariya with a delighted expression.

Chen Luo is indeed someone who helps people fulfill their wishes, but it's rare to see someone as cooperative and convinced as Matou Kariya.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Saving "Matou Sakura"]: No matter what, by what means, let Matou Sakura have the happiest life possible.

Reward: 600 Primogems + random reward

Difficulty: 3 stars

For Matou Kariya, who can barely be considered a competent but not outstanding magician by relying solely on Crest Worms as providers of magic power, 600 Primogems is probably the upper limit of his obsession.

"Save Matou Sakura? As a reward for your trust in me, I'll accept this request! With myself nearing my limit and only about a month left to live, my greatest obsession isn't to prolong my own life, but to save others."

"Kanetsuya Matou, perhaps your soul might also possess some of these qualities."

"Hey, you old bug, come and count your sins." Chen Luo walked out of the bar with a smile on his face. Sometime during the night, a crowbar... a physics staff appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Since I've accepted the commission, I must complete it.

The biggest challenge in this commission is undoubtedly the old bug in front of us.

"Hmph. So you've finally revealed your true intentions? A young magician who wants to seize Matou Kagami's magical property?"

"Young man, didn't your parents teach you not to fight in a magician's workshop?"

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the old bug also revealed a sinister smile.

Did you really think that Old Bug just stood there and watched Chen Luo chat?

That's impossible. If someone has already invaded your home, you should at least teach them a lesson.

If possible, eliminating the opponent would undoubtedly be better.

Even if a magician's possessions are depleted in battle, he can still exchange the magic circuits and magic crests of his opponent for a lot of good things. Of course, the old bug probably used them for research.

After all, the old bug was quite interested in this kind of spatial teleportation magic, as it might give him more trump cards.

As the old insect gently tapped the ground with its wooden staff, the insects, which had been poised to attack, swarmed forward.

"Clang!" Just then, the bell rang again.

This time, the sound came from very close to the insect nest, almost as if it were coming from inside the insect nest itself.

After the sound rang out, the insects that had been rushing towards Chen Luo seemed to be greatly frightened and instantly became chaotic.

The old bug also lost the ability to control his familiar for a moment, because he now sensed something extremely dangerous.

It felt as if a sharp sword was hanging over his neck, ready to fall at any moment and condemn him to eternal damnation.

But it seems that the other party's target is not themselves.

But...

"Really? It really is." Standing outside the bar, looking at those two blue-glowing eyes not far away, Chen Luo covered his face with a pained expression.

Outrageous.

What merit or ability do I, Chen Luo, possess?
