Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2205: Eyes Everywhere

Xu Huo paused, entered the library building, and opened the Mirror Space. The range that the Mirror Space could cover also expanded—this could only be considered a quantitative change, the natural effect after the Evolution Rate increased.

Indeed, a player’s own evolution level can limit Super Evolution. It’s uncertain whether Temporal Evolution is similar to Spirit Evolution in this regard.

Due to limited space, he only made a very small attempt. The changes in Spatial Evolution were also very obvious; both the intensity and range increased significantly, especially in the deconstruction of internal rays of objects. The compression of the Spatial Barrier could also stack up to nearly twenty layers, and twenty nested cubes could be compressed into a smaller volume.

Looking at the cube in front of him that compressed from several meters to only half a person’s height, Xu Huo suddenly released his control over the Spatial Rays. The abruptly rebounding Spatial Power became a strong airflow, blowing the room’s tables, chairs, and decorations askew, even creating fine cracks on the floor.

Although it was far from reaching the effect of the spatial explosion prop and Lady Palace’s compression barrier of the Old Holy Sword Society, it still pleasantly surprised him.

As for the Time Force, he previously needed to use the relevant props and venue to utilize it, and the changes were not obvious.

However, these were all additional effects brought by the Evolution Rate increase, requiring little effort, which was quite nice already.

The commotion in the room caught the attention of other players, but only Huang Mao really came out to see.

He knocked on the door, asking if Xu Huo was okay.

Xu Huo opened the door, "Looking for me?"

"Let’s talk inside," said Huang Mao as he squeezed through the door, then seeing the situation in the room, he exclaimed, "Whoa, you’re testing a prop? The commotion is huge; don’t accidentally blow up the house."

Xu Huo waited for him to continue, fortunately Huang Mao didn’t need any coaxing, immediately added, "Did you notice there are more eye patterns on the street?"

"That’s not surprising," Xu Huo said, "The Day of the Deity is approaching, every household is hanging flags with eye patterns."

"Not that," Huang Mao said, "I just glanced over and realized, the ground near the Divine Temple is made of live bricks, flipping them reveals eye patterns underneath, these patterns differ from the usual ones on the street. Those are indistinguishable from regular patterns if you don’t scrutinize them, but the ones on the bricks, looking directly at them feels pressuring."

"The whole city is full of these things, who knows what the people of the Divine Temple are planning, they aren’t planning to catch everyone in one go, right?"

"What are you planning to do?" Xu Huo asked.

"There is a pattern to these eye icons," Huang Mao had clearly observed carefully, "There are shifts in the brightness of the floor tiles. I used a drone to observe, and together, the combination of light and dark makes the whole city look like it rests upon a giant eye, with the Divine Temple perfectly at the center of the eyeball, likely a method to enhance interference."

"The internal issues of the Divine Temple aside, what if they’re targeting the Outer Zone players as well?"

"Therefore I plan to place several timed bombs at the two corners of the eye, to ensure we have backup when something goes wrong."

Xu Huo understood what he came to him for, "Even if I bring you, you’ll still be affected by the eye patterns."

"I know that, I’m just worried that once the bombs are set, the Goddess will set her sights on me. You’ll have to safely bring me back then," Huang Mao replied.

Xu Huo was silent, "If you’re planning to plant bombs, it can be done on-site, no need for this."

Huang Mao raised a finger shaking it, "You’re mistaken, what if the closer to the Divine Temple you get, the stronger the Psychic Attack? I can’t handle an enlarged version of the Inquiry Hall."

Xu Huo couldn’t handle it either, so the two of them planned, and collaborated with several other players planning some covert actions.

Huang Mao’s intention was to install bombs in the two corners of the eye, primarily to destroy the giant eye on the city floor. Other individuals not only wanted to destroy this giant eye, but also planned to place explosion-type props around the outskirts of the city, near the barrier, and besides this, they wanted to control areas with high personnel flow. Although it wasn’t possible near the Divine Temple, they could aim for nearby parade streets.

Huang Mao disagreed with this, "How many people might die if you accidentally blow it up?"

"Our objective isn’t to kill, but to threaten the Divine Temple," an older player in the group said, "Once conflicts arise with the Divine Temple, these people become our bargaining chip."

Huang Mao cast them a "are you serious?" look, "Are you not aware that instance bosses can communicate with the Divine Temple members? Anywhere with eyes is equivalent to being seen by the Temple, and you’re so close to it, you think they won’t know? Without people in your grasp, doing this will only have a counterproductive effect."

"Moreover, rather than coercing the Temple members, why not find ways to exploit some loopholes to weaken the Temple’s control, Psychic Attacks are invisible, and their strength differences can be substantial."

His concern was that the giant eye would turn the area around the Divine Temple into an Inquiry Hall mode; as long as it didn’t reach that extent, there’s a chance to accomplish whatever needed.

However, the parties didn’t reach an agreement, and eventually, they parted ways. The older player left with two others, leaving only one person accompanying Huang Mao and Xu Huo.

"I didn’t support their plan either," this player said.

"Ignore them, they’re just asking for trouble," Huang Mao muttered, then grew worried about another issue, "Even if we choose spots with fewer eyes, the instance boss might still notice. Could the Temple members nip it in the bud?"

"It’s possible." Xu Huo reassured him, "But coming here is a gamble anyway."

"Let’s hope our luck holds," Huang Mao said, thinking aloud, "This place even has eye patterns in the sewers, is there anywhere without a single eye?"

The believers would sew eyes even into their clothes, important places certainly wouldn’t be left without them, if there’s any place without eyes it might just be the sky.

But the next day, they realized they’d underestimated, the sky wasn’t just full of them, it was countless, because just as dawn broke, three aircraft began circling high above, continuously raining down papers and silk with eye patterns, and used special paintballs that burst into eye shapes, lingering in the air.

More dramatically, they released tens of thousands of Floating Balloons, suspending countless eyes high in the sky, persistently watching the city below.

The believers gathered towards the Divine Temple with their eye flags, the plaza in front of the Temple was divided into three circles, the innermost circle became the main venue for the Day of the Deity activities, where entry was forbidden, while the second and third outer circles could accommodate the believers. With activities occurring throughout the day, the believers could take turns entering the plaza. On the street directly in front of the Temple, they spontaneously formed a near-round formation so that everyone had a chance to pass by the Temple.

As the sun climbed high, casting light in all directions, a bell rang from the direction of the Divine Temple, signaling the official start of the Day of the Deity activities.
