I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 160-2: Outsmarting the Stargazer, the Treasure in Memory (2)

[With the Stargazer’s death, the illusion around you begins to tremble. The faded, yellowing memory scene loses its color…]

[You are rejected by this world and expelled from the Residual Illusion of Knowledge…]

[The scenery around you shifts once again. You return to the third floor of Bennett’s Transplant Clinic.]

[You lift the filthy bedcovers and rise to your feet, feeling as if you’ve awoken from a long dream, as if ages have passed.]

Lin Xun opened his inventory to check his newly acquired loot.

[Stargazer’s Memory (item): A hazy, shimmering light within which faint fragments of images flash by. These scenes depict the Stargazer’s past experience of burying a treasure. Using this item will guide you to the place where the Stargazer hid its treasure during its lifetime, allowing you to unearth its hidden valuables.]

“A treasure map?”

He immediately understood the item’s purpose but didn’t rush to use it.

There was no telling when the Overlord might attack the clinic. The top priority now was returning to the Multivision Association, he needed to get to safety first.

[You exit the third-floor ward and descend the stairs to the second floor of the clinic…][The cabinet on the second floor that once held jars and bottles is now completely empty. Perhaps they were taken by the clinic’s owner during the escape.]

“What the hell! Bennett’s trying to get us all killed!”

Lin Xun remembered that those jars were filled with eyeballs. If Bennett brought a pile of eyeballs with him while fleeing to the Multivision Association, it would definitely draw the behemoth straight there.

There was no time to think further. He quickly activated the Resting Page and teleported to the Multivision Association.

[An ordinary wandering soul awakens on the first floor of the Multivision Association…]

[The reception hall on the first floor is completely deserted. The surroundings remain unchanged. The reception desk is directly ahead…]

Lin Xun let out a long sigh of relief.

At this point, there were two possibilities: either Bennett hadn’t arrived at the Multivision Association yet, or he had arrived, but the behemoth hadn’t shown up yet.

[You possess the Shell of the Corrupted Theater Dancer.]

Controlling his all-Agility-allocated Dancer Shell, Lin Xun sprinted all the way up to the fifth floor of the building and arrived at Rona’s office.

[The door to Grand Scholar Rona’s office stood wide open. Strangely, there was no sign of Rona inside, nor of Bennett. Even your beloved Battle Angel – Valkyrie was nowhere to be seen.]

Lin Xun frowned. Where had Rona and the Valkyrie gone?

He opened his inventory and selected the Refined Copper Sand Maraca.

[You take out the Refined Copper Sand Maraca and give it a gentle shake…]

[With the soft rustling of sand, you summon the Watcher Battle Angel – Valkyrie.]

[A beautiful, long-haired girl stepped out from the void. She wore a short, pale violet kimono, and a pair of enormous refined copper wings stretched from her back…]

[Battle Angel – Valkyrie was holding a half-human-sized glass jar filled with densely packed eyeballs.]

[She quickly set the jar down and drew the longbow from her back, scanning the area around you warily. Upon seeing no danger, she looked at you with a puzzled expression…]

[Battle Angel – Valkyrie tilted her head, seemingly catching on to your intent, then picked the jar back up and led you into the elevator.]

[You followed her to the second floor of the building, just arriving at the Eyeball Laboratory when you saw Rona hurrying out.]

[Upon seeing you safe and sound inside the Association building, Rona let out a quiet sigh of relief. she explained that when you suddenly summoned your doll, she thought you were in danger again and was on its way to find you.]

[Grand Scholar Rona led you back into the Eyeball Laboratory, where you saw Bennett, also holding a jar of eyeballs, pouring them into a refined copper box.]

[Bennett gave you an awkward smile, but was immediately glared at by Rona and returned to his task.]

[The lab was filled with refined copper boxes, most of them sealed. Bennett’s job was to pour the eyeballs into the boxes and seal them.]

[Rona told you that your friend had been incredibly reckless, carrying so many eyeballs around like that. Fortunately, the eyeballs were of poor quality and hadn’t attracted the Veiled Aberration Overlord.]

[The refined copper boxes in the lab, like carriage compartments, could block the aura of the eyeballs and prevent them from being detected by the Veiled Aberration Overlord.]

[As they talked, Bennett and Battle Angel – Valkyrie sealed the last two jars of eyeballs.]

[Grand Scholar Rona asked if you were ready to accompany her to the secret laboratory of the President of the Multivision Association.]

[If not, she said you should go prepare now. As long as she’s here, there won’t be any problems, you don’t need to worry.]

Lin Xun did still have a few things to take care of.

The newly acquired Stargazer’s Memory had yet to reveal its treasure.

The Eyeball of the Ancient Crimson Dragon King also needed to be transplanted into the Earth Giant Shell.

He was confident that he could now solo some of the ordinary aberrants in the outside fog.

There was no need to rush into the fight with the President of the Multivision Association… The main issue was that he didn’t have enough Shell slots. Giving up the Direct Vision President’s Shell just felt wasteful.

So he planned to farm a few more behemoths first, collect some Divine items, and see if he could trade them with the black stocking lady for higher-grade Divine gear.

Rona had mentioned that once she gained the rank of President, she would head to the Imperial Capital for advanced study.

And the Valkyrie’s new skill still hadn’t been developed.

Better to let Rona stay as substitute teacher a while longer, and only go after the President once the Valkyrie unlocked her new skill.

[You shake your head, indicating that you’re not yet ready.]

[Rona gave you a small smile, then turned to return to her office with Battle Angel – Valkyrie.]

[Bennett sighed in relief and repeatedly apologized to the noble Envoy of the True God, saying that his earlier stinginess nearly caused disaster.]

[At the lab doorway, Rona clearly overheard Bennett addressing you and showed no surprise. Instead, she turned back and winked at you.]

[She then left with Battle Angel – Valkyrie, her graceful silhouette disappearing down the corridor…]

[Bennett quickly covered his mouth, gesturing that he had never mentioned your exalted identity before your arrival. It was only in a moment of carelessness that he let it slip.]

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow.

So Rona had known he was the Envoy of Omniscient True Knowledge all along?

He began to recall when his identity might have been exposed.

After a brief moment of thought, he remembered the massive disturbance he caused when infiltrating the President’s office.

That commotion undoubtedly alerted the entire Multivision Association. When he faced the President afterward, Omniscient True Knowledge had even sent down the Beast of Disordered Knowledge to correct him.

Rona had probably learned his identity as the True God’s Envoy from that moment.

No wonder Rona, a Grand Scholar, had been willing to eliminate a fellow Grand Scholar for his sake.

Lin Xun had initially thought they had a personal grudge. But now, with this key piece of information, everything made perfect sense.

He shook his head to clear the distractions.

No matter Rona’s motives, she had stood firmly on his side all along. As long as their interests aligned, there was no need to overthink it.

[Bennett went on to say that Grand Scholar Rona had given him full control of the laboratory. From now on, if the Envoy of the True God ever wished to perform an eyeball transplant, he could come to this Eyeball Laboratory and find him.]

Lin Xun happened to be planning to install the Eyeball of the Ancient Crimson Dragon King into the Earth Giant Shell, so he let Bennett begin the transplant surgery right there in the lab.

When the Eyeball of the Pale Dragon of Ancient Sages and the Eyeball of the Ancient Crimson Dragon King were implanted into the Earth Giant simultaneously, a strange and wonderful reaction occurred…
