“This is… the scene after… destruction.”

Silently gazing at the nothingness before him, Blood瞳 felt a tremor from the depths of his heart, and…

Hunger.

The tremor was the fear of a biological instinct, while the hunger came from the abyss's desire.

Looking at the endless void, Blood瞳 could feel the 'it' within him excited, howling, as if about to break free from his body. On the palm of his left hand, black纹路 quietly appeared, then disappeared in the next moment. The Speaker beside him did not notice this change.

After a while, Blood瞳 asked, “So, the Second World once launched an attack on the positive space here?”

“We don't know. But according to my guess, it should be like this. This place was originally a virtualized通道 from the Second World to the positive space, but it was abandoned for some reason. To cover it up, the Second World used the power of the abyss to destroy it. All rules were annihilated, creating the current scene.”

“Complete and utter nothingness. It is not recognized by any rules, and in theory, it does not exist.”

“But in reality, it does exist,” Blood瞳 continued. “At least you entered here and successfully窥视 the Second World. So does that mean you still have a way to use it or repair it?”

“I would like to, but it's difficult,” the Speaker said with a slight smile, shaking his head. “I said that the biggest difference between the Second World and us lies in virtualization. This means that their rule level is higher than ours, and the rule structure is slightly different from ours. I once窥视 a corner of them and found that one condition for entering there is to virtualize oneself. It's like a sheep entering a pack of wolves; to avoid being eaten, it must put on a layer of wolf skin or become a wolf.”

“What if you don't put on wolf skin?” Blood瞳 asked.

“Have you ever seen a sheep that wasn't eaten by wolves?” the Speaker asked rhetorically. “People who don't have virtualization conditions don't have the right to survive in the Second World at all.”

“…………” Blood瞳 nodded, indicating understanding. However, he also knew that this was just a hypothesis, and there were other possibilities.

Sure enough, the Speaker continued, “But we humans will not give up easily. After so much research, we have also discovered another path, which is to open up our own space in the Second World and replace the rules there with our own rules. This seems difficult, but it's better than being controlled by the Second World.”

“It's like what I'm doing now. Establishing rules in a place where there are no rules, and establishing existence in a place where it doesn't exist.”

“But that means establishing a complete set of rules,” Blood瞳 said, his expression becoming solemn. “You can only survive here by establishing a foundation of rules. But it is impossible for you to invade the Second World. How can you accomplish all this under their surveillance?”

“That… depends on you…” The Speaker suddenly smiled, saying meaningfully, “My intuition tells me that you will make our dreams come true.”

“…………” Blood瞳 was silent, but a flash of精光 suddenly flashed in his eyes.

“This has nothing to do with me.”

“It does,” the Speaker said with a smile, looking at Blood瞳's profile with interest. “Because the Second World is a place you must go. After you get in, you don't mind doing a little something for us, do you? Don't forget, my dear young man, you are a mercenary, and a direct mercenary.”

“…………” Blood瞳 fell silent. The Speaker was right, he was indeed a mercenary.

This profession was his means of getting out of x35, and it was also the identity he had recognized the most so far. His evolution and growth, although seemingly the result of his own efforts, it is undeniable that the entire mercenary system and the privileges of mercenaries have benefited him greatly. Not to mention the help of his most important Patriarch.

亨瑟尔 was the person Blood瞳 respected the most, and he was a mercenary.

赫克 was a mercenary.

Even his partners were basically mercenaries.

No matter how many challenges Blood瞳 encountered within the mercenary organization during his adventures, he could not deny this profession, this identity. So he shouldn't refuse, there was no reason to refuse.

“I respect the traditions of mercenaries,” Blood瞳 said seriously after thinking about it.

“Every mercenary will respect the traditions,” the Speaker also became serious. “This is the root of our survival.”

“Then what can I do for you?”

“Not for me, but for humanity. Okay, I know you don't like that, so for the mercenaries,” the Speaker's gaze fell on the distant void. After a while, he said, “Take this to the Second World, and then throw it out at a time and place you feel is appropriate.”

A golden thread rose from under Blood瞳's feet, sending a strange crystal ball to Blood瞳's面前.

The crystal ball was small and晶莹, but it was filled with dense threads, moving and circulating, making people dizzy.

Blood瞳 was stunned for a moment, then expressionlessly accepted the crystal ball and asked softly, “How will I know what is the appropriate time and the appropriate place?”

“You will know,” the Speaker did not explain, but a hint of狡黠 flashed in his eyes. “You will definitely know.”

Blood瞳 nodded and did not continue to ask. In fact, at their level, many things no longer needed to be explained clearly. Since the Speaker said he would know, then he would definitely know.

So he only had one question left.

The most⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥首⊥post!

“How do I go to the Second World? Through this abandoned通道?”

“No,” the Speaker replied. “This通道 is no longer usable. Although after my repair, it can窥视 the Second World at certain moments, but it is only窥视. It cannot allow you to pass through, nor can it virtualize you. So you need a new way, a way to enter the Second World openly and obtain the right to survive.”

“That is?”

“The Day of Sacrifice,” the Speaker turned his head and smiled slightly. “The Day of Sacrifice that will be opened in a few months. As long as you send a suitable sacrifice, then you can join the Second World as a selected person. No one will make things difficult for you.”

“The Day of Sacrifice?” Blood瞳 couldn't help but frown. This term was the first time he had heard of it. But this did not affect his understanding. He said straightforwardly.

“I have no sacrifices.”

“You will,” the Speaker showed that annoying smile again, then looked up at the void.

“After we leave here. Okay, kid, I would love to continue chatting with you, but we don't have more time. The rules of this mountain have been established. The repulsive force of the void has begun to increase. The next five minutes will be the key for us to escape. As long as we can ensure that the mountain under our feet is not erased, then our rules will be established. You and I will have a way to return to the normal universe.”

“What do you need me to do?”

“Protect me,” the Speaker winked at Blood瞳. “Absolutely do not let anyone or anything harm me.”

“Anyone!?” Blood瞳 was stunned. Before he could continue to ask, he felt a darkness in front of him and came to a familiar world.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a ruin stood tall in the vast wilderness.

Around the wilderness, dense black spots were stretching their necks, making ear-piercing howls to the sky…

“This is… the Nightmare Battlefield!!” Blood瞳 exclaimed in shock. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation..)
