This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1188 - 536 Little Naughty Boy, Dares to Show Off in Front of an Expert

"You made a selective response, concealing your conversation with Mansour."

"The Regent King frowned at you and asked, ’Are you sure the Stone Coffin has been lost?’"

"Yes, at least the Stone Coffin is no longer on that ship."

"So..." The Regent King’s brow relaxed, and he leaned back in his chair, speaking to himself, "It’s like a mob waving their claws and shouting murder suddenly losing their sharp teeth. What do you think we should do now?" The Regent King threw the meaningful question back at you.

Three options popped up below.

"Do you want to go to war with the Reformers? But we are on the ’righteous’ side; a war needs a legitimate reason."

"I don’t think that’s a good idea. The Stone Coffin is just not on the ship; they might have hidden it elsewhere."

"I just want to know what ’Fireburn Apocalypse’ means?"

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback; it seemed that the Regent King was already considering waging war on the Reformers...

The third option is just filler, so let’s not discuss it. The first two options present another chance to choose.

The first option supports going to war; needing a legitimate reason means we are only lacking a reason to begin. There’s even an implication of encouraging both sides to start the war.

The second option hints that the Stone Coffin might still be in the enemy’s hands, advising against starting a war easily, essentially speaking up for the Reformers.

Mu You’s stance, of course, was more inclined to stir the fire.

Today’s hunting experience had demonstrated that, alone, he could hunt Vampires of the sixth generation and above, but anything below was tricky. Insufficient Combat Power was one aspect; more importantly, these high-ranking members were almost never alone, always escorted by guards, making them too difficult to assassinate alone.

The best approach was to instigate them to fight amongst themselves, and then he would reap the benefits from it.

Mu You chose the first option.

"’Legitimate reason’... Hmm, well said, we do need a proper reason indeed," the Regent King mused again.

"You took the opportunity to ask what ’Fireburn Apocalypse’ means?"

Fireburn Apocalypse was a term he had overheard mentioned several times during a meeting of Vampires.

"Oh, you heard that... Those are just the senseless grievances of a bunch of useless Clan Leaders; don’t bother about it."

The Regent King sneered coldly, "A bunch of Vampires who’ve lived for hundreds of years, and yet they’re scared by some unknown news, how disgraceful! If that Jack really was a first-generation Vampire, why were all those hunted today from the sixth generation and above and solitary dwellers? Katerina is the only exception, but that was merely a so-called ’last message’ on the Heart Web; no one even saw Katerina’s body."

"I seriously suspect this is a conspiracy set up by Katerina herself; after all, this mystical woman isn’t so easy to kill."

Mu You raised his eyebrows. He had to admit, this Regent King had a keen intuition; not only was he not intimidated by Jack, but he also vaguely guessed the truth.

"As for the ’Fireburn Apocalypse,’ it’s nothing but a ridiculous, superstitious legend."

"We live in the City of Enoch, built by Cain. Long ago in the history of this city, a deity decided to send down a ’Great Flood’ to wipe out all living beings on earth, and Cain built this city to shelter those he deemed worthy, thus sparing them from the flood. However, for this act, Cain was also punished by the deity, falling into a deep slumber. The so-called ’Fireburn Apocalypse’ prophecy believes that one day, Cain will awaken and consume every life in this city to atone for his sins."

"The legend has too many holes; truly wise people hardly bother to refute it. You, coming from the outside, should be able to see more clearly that this legend is just nonsense, so it doesn’t warrant attention," the Regent King said nonchalantly.

This city is a server, and Cain, after being judged by the gods, had to flee here for refuge. So this legend is indeed nonsense, but the outcome of this legend might actually be true.

Cain was not dead at all and was likely the Admin of this place. The Admin could modify and rebuild this city at any time; naturally, the first step would be to ’delete’ all characters and then regenerate the scene.

Anyway, whether this legend is true or false, it provided a very natural origin and background for his impersonation of Jack.

Moreover, since the Regent King was already considering taking action against the Reformers and just needed a reason, why not create one himself?

On the way home from the Regent King’s turf to his apartment, Mu You was continuously plotting this matter.

"You have received an email."

Just arriving home, suddenly, a game notification popped up for an email.

Mu You didn’t think too much and went to check his computer.

The email subject surprised him a bit.

"Jack is watching you!" Sender: Anonymous.

Mu You raised an eyebrow; an anonymous email mentioning Jack was almost certainly sent by the Admin.

Mu You opened and read.

"You have taken actions outside of the rules, and you have upset me! For a game designer, this is like a player who cheats stealthily, and such players will be banned!"
