Chapter 132: 122 Secret Two

"Fuck! I died again! Which one of you picked up my gear? Without a gun, I can’t shoot for shit!!" — Dragon Gate Crane.

"No rush, I’ll bring you back once I break out! I’ve got a resurrection pack, and you’re not much use when you come back to life anyways, so it doesn’t matter when I do it." — Rainbow Candy.

"Died thirteen times in half an hour! What the hell is this!? There’s no gaming experience!" — Dragon Gate Crane.

Li Chengyi had no words in response. Silently, he deleted the message he was about to type, then scrolled up to view the history of the chat.

After a while, he realized that this group was playing a competitive shooting game.

"You guys... are all okay?" — Cheng Yi.

He sent out an inquiry.

"Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng is actually still alive! I thought he was dead!" — Dragon Gate Crane.

This guy completely lacked tact... made you want to punch him.

Li Chengyi’s face twitched.

"Rainbow, how’s your investigation going?" — Cheng Yi.

"I’m out, went to report to Brother Cheng first," Rainbow Candy sent a message in the group chat, and then quickly replied to Li Chengyi.

"I’m okay over here, just that one of my legs is temporarily crippled. Got touched by that black hand during the Flash Appearance, lost a big chunk of flesh. Lucky I was quick, remembered what Brother Cheng said. Slashed away half of the flesh, the rest is fine, everything’s normal."

She sent a photo of her own beautiful leg, pristine white.

Right, a large chunk of her lower right leg was missing, tightly wrapped in white bandages.

"You’ve worked hard. I’ll remember this," — Cheng Yi.

He hadn’t expected that these Blind Spot Individuals would go so far for a team that had just been formed.

"We might be gone at any moment, this is just a minor injury. Da Xiong House has a tissue regeneration surgery using my own cells to grow back the flesh. It’ll be filled in after a few days," Rainbow Candy disliked typing slowly, so she directly requested to speak via voice.

Li Chengyi clicked to connect, and as soon as he did, moaning sounds that could make one’s blood race came through the speaker.

"Crap, I set the voice wrong! Wait a moment," there was a rustling chaos from Rainbow Candy’s end.

Soon, the voice quieted down.

"Ah, there we go, Brother Cheng, just pretend you didn’t hear anything," Rainbow Candy chuckled awkwardly. "Nowadays, we’re always on the edge, might lose our lives any day, so I’ve become a bit unrestrained in my hobbies."

"As long as you’re happy..." Li Chengyi was at a loss for words. "What about the intel?"

"I didn’t have much time to gather information after I went in, but Cucumber did help me find some targeted information."

Rainbow Candy swiftly sent a bunch of detailed documents combined with images.

"Also, I didn’t encounter that Yserine you mentioned when I went in. The bedroom I entered was empty, just me, no one else. The room layout is also different from what you described."

Li Chengyi opened the documents.

They were all about the Gilkini People’s customs and traditions.

Especially on the collection of substitutes; it was particularly comprehensive.

"Additionally, in the Blind Spot, I discovered that not everyone from that previous fire died. The boy who killed his entire family missed one: a neighbor’s child who was hiding under the bed on a visit to their house," Rainbow Candy said solemnly.

"What’s more coincidental is that the child is a girl, named..."

"Yserine!"

Li Chengyi’s heart gave a slight shudder.

"Is it just a coincidence that they share the same name?"

"It might be, perhaps this is one of the reasons for the fusion of two Blind Spots?" Rainbow Candy wasn’t sure either.

"How did she survive?" Li Chengyi asked.

"She hid under the bed for over half an hour until the fire was put out by firefighters. She was rescued in a semi-conscious state, with multiple burns on her body, but thankfully she was still alive."

"So now, from the preliminary discussion, we think that the likely way to disconnect might be to hide under a bed and wait for at least half an hour," Rainbow Candy replied.

"We can give it a try. Over here..." Li Chengyi began to describe his own situation in detail.

As he spoke, he also began to open the documents, reading them carefully.

’The Gilkini People worship a primordial Colossal Beast known as Asraduni. They believe that all of humanity’s true perceptions are merely dreams inadvertently created while Asraduni sleeps.’

’In the beliefs of the Gilkini People, only they are real, residing on an island surrounded by countless illusions, with an Infinite Black Sea of dreamlike illusions all around.’

Accompanying the text was a picture.

In the black-and-white oil painting, there was a pitch-black sea with a white eye in the center.

Upon closer inspection, one could see many white figures standing on the eye.

They appeared to represent the Gilkini People.

’Therefore, to seek protection from Asraduni, to avoid the mysterious and dangerous attacks from the surrounding Infinite Black Sea,

they developed the method of using substitutes.

By sacrificing a few individuals, they attract the attention of the mysterious dangers, and then they hide themselves, smearing white flour on their faces to camouflage themselves as part of the Black Sea, avoiding danger.’

Below was a photo of a face smeared with white flour.

’Additionally, due to their severe gender discrimination, favoring males over females, Gilkini People generally select girls as sacrificial substitutes to be prepared as offerings, with boys being preserved.’

Upon reading this text, Li Chengyi instantly connected everything in his mind.

The deeply buried room filled with traces of boys, while the upstairs bedroom was marked with traces of girls.

’Could it be that Yserine was a substitute for her brother!?’

This thought flashed through his head.

It was very likely.

"Because the Gilkini People believe that all reality is a dream of the great Colossal Beast Asraduni, they consider beds, which can produce dreams, to be protected by the great beast.
