"Luo Ke! What are you afraid of? Do you have any demeanor that the Luo family should have? Come out now!"
"No!" Luo Ke buried her head in Zhou Yan's chest. "You and I are the only ones left in our Luo family. You have such a shitty demeanor. It's all your fault for saying such weird things!"
Obviously, Luo Ke is afraid of ghosts.
Nonsense, let alone Luo Ke, Zhou Yan is also afraid of that thing.
But he was not as easily frightened as Luo Ke. While gently patting the girl's back to comfort her, he asked Luo Xuan: "So, the Demon Exorcism Department is responsible for dealing with this kind of thing?"
Luo Xuan glared at Luo Ke who was curled up in Zhou Yan's arms, and said in a cold voice: "That's right, after joining the Demon Exorcist Division, in addition to practicing to become stronger, you also go to close the rifts when you receive orders. Most of these rifts are filled with small minions. Generally, there won't be too many problems if you deal with them in time, but if you fail to close them in time."
Luo Xuan paused and said, "In history, there have been many horrific incidents where villages and towns were destroyed, and even entire cities were empty. This was the result of not sealing the rift in time."
Zhou Yan couldn't help but frowned. "Isn't it a bit too much to rely solely on the 'Demon Exorcism Department' for such an unreasonable matter? The empire should have an army, right? In my opinion, creatures from other worlds like goblins and slimes are probably no match for heavy firearms."
"No." Luo Xuan shook his head, "This is the terrifying thing about the rift."
She said seriously, "If the rift is not sealed in time, it will explode and expand, turning into a 'dead end'. Not only will it be much more difficult to seal, but the monsters that originally only moved within the rift will also rush into our world like crazy."
"The most terrifying thing is that practice has shown that these monsters, whether they are in the rift or in reality, are in a state of 'both existing and non-existing', similar to a 'projection'."
"Monsters in this state, whether they have kinetic weapons or energy weapons, most technological creations cannot interact with them, but they can cause damage to life and matter." Luo Xuan said a terrible message.
"How is that possible!?" Luo Ke, who was curled up in Zhou Yan's arms, raised her little head, "Doesn't that mean I'm invincible?"
"No one is invincible." Luo Xuan pointed at himself, then at Zhou Yan, "Humans, especially those with strong spirit, can cause definite damage to these monsters."
"Even special weapons held and used by humans can cause damage to them."
Luo Xuan frowned slightly: "The specific principle seems to be related to the concept of 'soul'. I only know that this statement is true, but I don't know why."
Luo Ke's little brain was working very quickly, and she immediately came up with an idea: "What about the divine machines? Can people wearing divine machines cause damage to them?"
"Yes." Luo Xuan nodded in confirmation without any surprise, "However, it requires a special machine with a rare circuit. Ordinary mass-produced machines will not work, not even military-grade mass-produced machines."
"Specially made magic machine." Luo Ke looked at the silver-white box that Luo Xuan put aside, "Sister, your magic machine..."
"Your guess is correct." Luo Xuan's eyes were calm. "Not every Nanming Sword Master's divine machine is equipped with that rare circuit, but it just so happens that the divine machine that my father left us has this circuit."
"No wonder." Luo Ke murmured to himself, "Master Cong specially invited you to remove the demon."
Luo Xuan ignored her sister's mumbling and looked at Zhou Yan again.
"So, joining the Demon Exorcism Bureau is an extremely dangerous thing." She said seriously, "I joined the Demon Exorcism Bureau for my own reasons. Zhou Yan, you are different from us. Even if you don't join the Demon Exorcism Bureau, you can continue to practice martial arts in Nanming Sword Hall or even Lihuo Pavilion, and you can continue to become stronger."
"Go back and think about it carefully tonight, and give me a definite answer tomorrow."
*
After Zhou Yan finished chatting with the two sisters, he returned to his room.
Even until he sat on the bed, he couldn't help but think about the "dark side of the world" that Luo Xuan had just revealed to him.
It was obvious that Luo Xuan was not the type to make up stories to fool people.
What she said to Zhou Yan seriously could be 100% credible as long as she herself was not deceived.
Demon caves and rifts. Inhuman beings that are not affected by technological weapons and only take damage from "humans"
This main world, beneath its peaceful surface, does indeed hide a side unknown to ordinary people.
His eyes flickered.
As a traveler with the power of order behind him, after having experienced several journeys into the realm of disaster, he had some guesses of his own.
The "main world" where he is now is, strictly speaking, also a "disaster world" that is being eroded by chaos.
It’s just that for some reason - for example, the power of order has given this place a certain protection, so the "cause" that chaos uses to erode this world is not as extreme as some of the worlds he has experienced before.
For example, in the first world, he couldn’t imagine any way to solve the “conceptual-level” horrific disaster caused by “war”.
There was no influence of any horrible conceptual-level disaster, and the strong people in this world seemed to be relatively common, so it was actually possible to maintain superficial peace and prosperity.
The vast majority of the population seems unaware that the world is being infiltrated.
No wonder, the technological level of this world is obviously not bad, and it can even be said to be better than that of the Earth.
However, the "main combat force" developed by each country is mainly "individual human soldiers".
Mechanical warriors, cyborgs, beastmen, and other beings that Zhou Yan was not clear about.
Apart from going to the battlefield, the real purpose of these individual combat forces is probably to deal with "cracks", right?
Therefore, the Tianyuan Empire where he lives is so martial under the official encouragement.
Now everything makes sense.
Zhou Yan stopped thinking.
In fact, before he parted with the two sisters, he once again expressed to Luo Xuan his willingness to join the Demon Exorcism Department with her.
However, Luo Xuan forced him to come back and think carefully and not act impulsively.
He was too lazy to argue with Luo Xuan, so he went back to his room.
Just give her clear advice tomorrow.
Before he could meditate and practice, Zhou Yan still had one thing to do.
After becoming an "Order Walker", he gained another function in addition to the "Life Equipment User" function.
"comminicate".
This function was not available when he was in the disaster realm before.
Now back in the main world, it's time to try out what it actually does.
Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation. He called out his panel while guessing, and then tried to activate the function that was previously unavailable.
[Do you want to enter the "Communication" function?]
【Yes】
[Order Walker, before entering, you need to set a "code name" for yourself, or directly use your serial number instead]
Your code name is:
Still need to enter a code?
Forget it, I don’t want to go through so much trouble, I’ll just use the serial number.
He thought about it and gave up the setting.
[Codename confirmed—XIII]
【About to enter "Exchange"】
[The scope of communication is limited, and speeches exceeding the limit will be blocked]
Several messages flashed before his eyes.
The next second, his eyes became blurry and endless fog filled his vision.
Zhou Yan came back to his senses.
Find yourself in a special scene.
In the narrow space completely enclosed by thick gray fog is a huge round stone table.
Surrounding the stone table, at a fixed distance, there is a stone chair with armrests and a very high backrest.
Zhou Yan only took a glance and determined the number of chairs.
No more, no less, exactly thirteen seats.
thirteen
Zhou Yan remembered his own sequence - XIII.
So there is more than one "Order Walker"?
He subconsciously wanted to raise his eyebrows, but found that he was unable to do so.
Then he discovered his current state.
The whole body is covered in a gray hooded robe, but there is no "flesh" under the clothes.
What propped up the hood was not a head, but just a cloud of diffuse mist.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hands, and found that his hands were just a pair of gray gloves filled with mist, which he could move and use as he wished.
He turned into a humanoid mist.
It seems that in this space where "communication" is possible, the Power of Order does not want his appearance to be exposed?
Zhou Yan put away his thoughts and looked at the only meaningful stone table in this foggy space.
He walked slowly towards the stone table, and with every step he stepped on, the grey mist rolled up like a sea of clouds.
After he approached the stone table, he saw something different.
The first thing to notice is the differences in the circle of chairs surrounding the stone table - different characters are marked on the back of each stone chair.
These characters were not written in any language that Zhou Yan knew, but he could understand their meaning directly.
{one}
{emperor}
{stupid}
{Four}
{Five fingers}
{Ahaha}
{武}
{Try to see how long the code name can be, it's this long}
{pole}
{ten}
{No name}
{Ecliptic}
{Thirteen}
Zhou Yan walked around the stone table and finally realized his position, which was the chair marked with the number "Thirteen".
He came and sat down in his chair.
After a quick glance, I found two sticky notes on the table in front of me.
One of them said - You can write the questions you want to ask on this paper. If other practitioners know and are willing to answer, you may get the answer without violating the rules.
Another piece of paper read: The next meeting will start at 8:8 on August 0.
Zhou Yan looked quietly at the paper behind him.
'August 8, 8:0'
Today is August 7th.
Then wouldn’t the meeting time be at midnight, about two hours later?
***
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 110 Meeting, Star Chasing Secret Map
Zhou Yan stayed in this foggy "communication" world for a while, but did not see any other figures appear.
So they withdrew.
In the split second that he made this decision, the scene before him changed back to his room.
Zhou Yan looked at the time immediately and found that almost ten minutes had passed.
"I was in there for about ten minutes."
Zhou Yan briefly recalled and came up with a preliminary guess: "So, the time in the 'communication' space is different from the setting of 'walking in the disaster world'? When communicating, time passes at the same rate as in reality? But when walking in the disaster world, the time of the walker is independent of the main world?"
