Livestreaming: I am retarded, but selected to join the analoghorror game?!-Chapter 240 - 223: Analog Horror Strikes Again and Again and Again and Again

Existence and nonexistence had inverted, and so everything began and continued.

Then, upon the tapestry of time, two beings made their appearance here.

One of them was strikingly the Seventh Rule. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The being that followed behind him asked,

"Seventh Rule, did you call me here for a reason?"

The man named Seventh Rule turned to look at the existence behind him, took a deep breath, and then spoke,

"Fifth Rule... I wish to discuss something with you in private."

"Oh... is it necessary to be as solemn as usual when we meet privately?" Fifth Rule smiled helplessly, "You don’t need to be so serious, just be as casual as before."

"Casual?" The Seventh Rule shook his head, "I now carry a great burden, and I can’t be casual anymore."

"..." Fifth Rule shook his head helplessly, "You shouldn’t push yourself too hard."

"I know, thank you..."

"Well, let’s get to the point." Fifth Rule continued to inquire, "What matter did you want to bring me here to discuss?"

Seventh Rule did not answer directly but instead asked Fifth Rule, "The Blue Star Civilization... the next Analog Horror is about to begin, right? And... you’re in charge of designing this instance, aren’t you?"

"Yes, that is indeed my responsibility," Fifth Rule nodded.

"..." Seventh Rule was silent for a moment before continuing, "I have a favor to ask of you."

"A favor for me?" Fifth Rule’s expression became tense, sensing something, "You... you haven’t given up, have you?"

"Hmm." The Seventh Rule didn’t beat around the bush and nodded in affirmation, "Regarding the human named Xiao Yi, I hope you can target him when designing this instance."

"You, ah..." Fifth Rule shook his head, already intending to refuse outright, for such matters required unanimous agreement to proceed, and this private request of his was certainly against the rules.

However, looking into the determined eyes of the Seventh Rule, his thoughts changed.

So, he rephrased his question, "Before that, I hope you can tell me why... why do you remain so steadfast?"

Seventh Rule understood that Fifth Rule’s willingness to listen to an explanation was already proof that he was willing to take a risk, so Seventh Rule answered earnestly,

"Thank you... The reason is, from the beginning, I did not support the so-called Analog Horror mode. This frivolous, casual method is too inefficient. We originally had better ways to achieve our goals!"

"That’s inevitable," Fifth Rule shrugged helplessly, "since the rule is such, once decided, we can’t change it."

"I’m aware of that," Seventh Rule continued, "So even though I’m dissatisfied, I’ve been complying with the rules, fulfilling my duty, creating instances of Analog Horror. But... Xiao Yi is an existence that must be eliminated! He has grown strong due to benefiting from a flawed system and gained such dangerous power! Besides, he himself is too uncontrollable, so I think he must be removed! Nobody would want to carry a tool that might harm them at any time, right?"

"Dangerous... huh?" Fifth Rule pondered, looking down, "But it’s just a power outside of our control, not something to be overly cautious about, right? Moreover, due to various reasons, we can’t predict the future of that planet with changing concepts, so it’s not strange for accidents to happen, why fuss over one individual?"

"Exactly because of that, we must keep everything in our hands!" Seventh Rule’s expression was exceedingly stern, "This is to ensure we handle any accidents properly. And... don’t forget our ’Origin’!"

"...!"

Hearing that term, Fifth Rule’s expression turned extremely grave.

Seventh Rule continued, "That power, although it’s just a tedious, disgusting, contemptible imitation of our ’Origin’, it still should not be underestimated. We cannot easily determine at what level it might reach! Don’t you think such an existence is dangerous?"

"Is that so?"

Fifth Rule took a deep breath, his heart trembling, and then... made his decision.

"Very well, then... I shall help you this time. After all, Xiao Yi, in essence, is just a human. If he dies, it’s no matter, and even if we were discovered, there wouldn’t be any serious punishment."

"...Seventh Rule, my deepest gratitude," Seventh Rule bowed his head in thanks.

"No need," Fifth Rule waved his hand, "Just make sure to design this instance specifically targeting that individual, ensuring his death within it, right?"

"No, not just that," Seventh Rule shook his head, "Don’t forget that we also have the troublesome individual known as First Rule among us. Hence, we must not only ensure the death of the individual named Xiao Yi but also ensure it’s final, with no revival, no salvation, no change... an absolute death!"

"Is that so? I understand."

Fifth Rule looked at Seventh Rule’s determined demeanor and still did not refuse.

The two of them, there, reached a covert agreement.

And then... not long after, the Analog Horror began once more.

[Analog Horror is descending, selecting the Chosen One]

With this announcement, the Analog Horror live broadcast room opened again, and people from each Country flocked familiarly into their respective channels.
