CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 227 SEALING ISSUE_2

But in reality, it was still futile.

In the end, Xiao Feng could only watch as his body was slowly devoured by the tidal force, dismembered into tiny fragments.

Rosen and Hou Yi also took one last look at each other, saying, "It seems like we are finally heading to the end, just a matter of sooner or later. I’ve always wondered what remains after being swallowed by a black hole. Guess I’ll never know now."

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, Rosen could no longer hear him.

Rosen only knew that when he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the Demon Realm Underground Palace Tomb, and unsurprisingly, the location was in a net café somewhere in the Capital City.

After removing the helmet, Rosen looked around the net café environment, the smell of smoke was particularly strong, and people were constantly coming and going. The cold wind outside howled mercilessly, unable to be blocked by wind shields, causing Rosen to shiver all over from the cold.

"As expected, just like I guessed, dying in the game’s secret realm eventually leads to exiting the game’s secret realm."

Rosen had speculated about this situation the moment he got swallowed by the black hole; of course, there was another possibility of brain death.

To prevent brain death, Rosen forced himself to stay calm, using his strong willpower to suppress this condition.

He had already passed on the essence of this to the other two people, now it depended on their determination and whether they could pull through.

Rosen looked at the table beside him.

He patted Xiao Feng and Hou Yi.

Xiao Feng couldn’t be awakened, apparently already brain dead, but surprisingly Hou Yi woke up with a pat.

"I’m actually still alive! Or have I exited the game!" Hou Yi said excitedly.

"Of course, it wasn’t all for nothing that I gave you psychological counseling at the last critical moment, otherwise, we might not have been able to meet in the living world."

"This isn’t the living world, it’s the Capital City in the Demon Realm Underground Palace Tomb," Hou Yi reminded.

Then Hou Yi revealed his identity, it turned out he was a net café manager here, and his favorite character to play as was Hou Yi. One day when he suddenly heard someone calling his online name, Hou Yi immediately logged on and found them.

Knowing this, Rosen kindly reached out to shake hands, saying, "nice to meet you!"

"nice to meet you too!" Hou Yi also greeted Rosen kindly.

"Since you’re a net café manager in the Capital City, then you should know which restaurant nearby has good food, right?" Rosen asked, taking the opportunity.

"Of course I know, what, are you hungry?"

"Of course, after playing the game for so long, it’d be strange if I wasn’t hungry."

"Alright then, let’s go, I’ll take you to a good restaurant."

"Let’s go!"

Following Hou Yi, they arrived at a restaurant with pretty good taste, and after paying in cash, they started eating.

Actually, Hou Yi paid in cash, and Rosen then realized that Hou Yi was a rich second generation, no wonder he could afford to buy top-level equipment like the Houyi Divine Bow.

However, Hou Yi told Rosen, "Previously, my account and the Divine Bow equipment were both swallowed and destroyed by the black hole, your account is probably the same, so we’ll have to create new accounts in the future."

Hearing this, Rosen shook his head and said, "The game account isn’t urgent, actually I have a purpose for coming to the Capital City, have you heard of the protective seal in the Capital City?"

"What, you’re not here to strengthen the Capital City’s seal, are you?"

"Exactly, that is precisely my purpose for coming here."

"I see, no wonder I felt that you had no basic game skills, even your equipment was civilian gear, turns out you’re a newbie indeed."

The two continued eating at the restaurant, and I have to say, the food at this place was really good, with a layer of white wafer chocolate outside, gray bean paste inside, and even further inside was a chocolate stick, it was crunchy and really toothsome.

Before long, the two had completely eaten one of the restaurant’s columns.

Considering it was a load-bearing column, eating it might have destabilized the building’s center of gravity, possibly causing a collapse, so Rosen and Hou Yi decided to leave.

And just after they left, the restaurant they had eaten at indeed collapsed.

"In the future, spreading this will be something worth bragging about, we actually caused a store to collapse by eating!"

"Right, blame it on the store being a buffet, buffets are easy to collapse."

"By the way, you said just now you wanted to look for the Capital City’s seal; actually, I can take you there, but the place is very dangerous, I advise you not to go, even if I went, I’d stay at least a hundred meters away, not daring to get close."

"Tch, is there any place I dare not go, even if it’s a fiery pit or mountain of knives, I’ll still go!" Rosen raised his proud head and declared.

"Really?" Hou Yi looked at Rosen somewhat incredulously.

Seeing Hou Yi give him no face at all, Rosen was quite angry, "If you have the guts, take me there!"

In the end, Hou Yi led Rosen to an outhouse.

"Go inside, I’m not stopping you!"

A hundred meters away, a strong pungent smell already made Rosen unable to tolerate it.

Rosen said, "Are you sure the source of the seal is here?"

"Yes, right here, do you know why no one has reenacted the seal here?"

"Why?"

"The reason is simple, because the place was once sealed, after a long time, the manure collectors couldn’t access it, causing the dung heap inside to accumulate, eventually forming a natural cesspool. Everyone habitually started dumping curated responses here, thinking that maybe using them could seal this place, perhaps the demons inside wouldn’t escape."

"Then what about the Royal Family of the Capital City, wouldn’t the royal family inside suffer from the sealing of demons?"

"That’s true, but if not sealed this way, should we let the demons come out to harm humanity?"

This statement made Rosen feel that it somewhat made sense.

"It doesn’t matter, my mission is to seal the Demon Race, if I don’t do so, I cannot complete the mission, and I won’t be able to leave this Ancient Tomb Palace, in this way, as the number of curated responses continues to accumulate over time, the entire Underground Palace will eventually become a cesspool and then it will be too late for me to complete the task."

Rosen’s words startled Hou Yi.

Rosen’s logic was weird, but it seemed correct.

After all, the curated responses kept accumulating, indeed one day they would fill the entire Underground Palace, that was beyond doubt.

Previously, there were quite a few people collecting manure, but with development, these jobs started vanishing, and as living costs rose, the price of curated responses also kept rising, meaning collecting them was becoming more expensive, leading to job loss for those who collected them.

"If you insist on going, we’ll end our friendship and never be friends again!" Hou Yi resolutely said.

"Why?" Rosen asked puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Hou Yi answered, "Because once you go in, you’ll be covered in curated responses, and I don’t make friends with poop people."

This statement caused Rosen to hesitate, not because he highly valued their friendship, but because Hou Yi was indirectly reminding him that going inside would definitely turn him into a poop person!

Imagining that scene made Rosen nauseous.

"No, there must be a way, let me think!"

A second later, Rosen thought of a solution.

First, he needed a waterproof boat, so friendship paper boats obviously wouldn’t work, he needed at least a wooden boat.

"No, wooden boats get easily corroded, I have to cross a cesspool after all!"

"Then use a steel cruise ship!"

"Right, and I also need a durable diving suit, preferably pressure-resistant, because I’m not sure how deep it is. In such murky fluid, the pressure would be greater than ordinary water pressure, and once the depth exceeds twenty meters, it becomes difficult to proceed, so a high-pressure resistant diving suit is necessary."

As Rosen prepared the equipment, Hou Yi frankly said, "Although we’ll end our friendship, I can, as a last-minute friend, buy the equipment you need."

When asked what equipment Rosen wanted to buy, he frankly said, "I need a large steel cruise ship, preferably equipped with advanced electromagnetic cannons and guided torpedoes."

"Are you joking!" Hou Yi said quite displeased, "Friendship over then!"

Despite saying that, Hou Yi still mailed Rosen a large steel cruise ship...

Model.
