There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Uh... should I continue? Can he hear me?"

"He can't hear you, but you were baring your heart, right? It would be quite awkward to stop now, so just keep going, I'm listening."

"Oh..."

Sword Without End lay down awkwardly again, not speaking further as the air fell silent once more. Minutes later, suddenly sitting up and looking towards Chen Yi, who was lying on the far right, he said, "Um, Yi, do you think I'm too much of a beast?"

"Not really."

Chen Yi, with his eyelids drooping, quietly enjoyed the comfort and casually said, "I don't really care about that, there's no need to say it to me. I don't care about these things."

"I care about something else."

"I have a small notebook here with over a hundred names in it. Next time you go to Hell, help me take care of them."

"Over a hundred?"

Sword Without End's mouth slowly opened wide, incredulously asking, "Yi, I've only just come back not too long ago, and you've already got over a hundred names in your notebook again?"

"Yeah, those you saw on the ceiling at Tuberculosis Rabbit Art Gallery. It took me quite an effort to find those names."

"What I mean is I won't be going down there for a while. After all, my wife isn't in Hell, and I'm not going to be running to Hell all the time."

"No problem, there'll be a chance."

Soon.

The next half-hour quickly passed amidst Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream talk, and with only a minute left, they were about to leave this special space.

Chen Yi had become immune to Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream talk, it went in one ear and out the other without lingering in his mind.

But Sword Without End was hearing it for the first time.

The more he listened, the more Sword Without End felt something was off. He sat up abruptly, turning to Chen Yi with a serious expression, "Yi, I don't think this can still be considered simple dream talk, right?"

"Tuberculosis Rabbit was just discussing killing all the players on Blue Star and then using their corpses to build a Sky Ladder to Heaven. These logical statements don't seem like the nonsense of dreams."

"Oh, Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream talk has always been very logical."

Chen Yi said nonchalantly, without much concern.

"How can dream talk possibly be logical!"

"Haven't you seen already? It really does make sense."

"But he also said in his dream that he wants to dismember me and use my blood to lay out some sort of big formation on the ground."

"It's just dream talk, don't mind it."

"..."

Sword Without End, without speaking, turned his head with a complex expression to look at Tuberculosis Rabbit. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Tuberculosis Rabbit open his eyes, seemingly still craving more as he wiped the drool from his mouth.

"Is it time? Then get ready for battle. The countdown in the House of God outside should have ended by now."

"How did you suddenly wake up?"

"Because the countdown to the special event is almost over."

"You can tell the countdown to the special event is almost over in your dream?"

"Nope."

"Then how did you suddenly wake up?"

"Because the countdown to the special event is almost over, didn't I just say that?"

"Smack!"

Sword Without End slapped himself expressionlessly, then, after a moment, somewhat unsatisfied, he slapped himself in the mouth again, feeling that his decision to join this team might have been a bit irrational.

Previously, he had only seen Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit demonstrating strong abilities, and they seemed to carry good temperaments as well.

But after today's close interaction, he suddenly felt that not only were their strengths formidable, but their mental states seemed a bit abnormal too.

The peculiar sleep talk from Tuberculosis Rabbit and Chen Yi's complete lack of reaction were baffling. With Chen Yi's intelligence, it was impossible for him to be indifferent to such an obvious oddity, yet it truly didn't seem feigned.

And Tuberculosis Rabbit was even stranger. Who talks so logically in their sleep, and can become aware of an external countdown nearing its end and wake up?

Can clearly understand the outside world and speak so logically.

Is this really dreaming?

You must have gone running off to a meeting in Another World!

"Ding, special event 'Forest Hidden Foot Bath' has come to an end, returning to the map now, please prepare yourselves, players."

Vision fading to black, and upon opening his eyes again, he found himself back in the House of God.

At this point, the walls and ceiling had disappeared, and the floor below had been replaced with red tiles.

Clearly, the ten-minute countdown in the House of God had finished long ago during their hour in the special event.

They hadn't even begun to assess the situation in the House of God when,

they saw the periphery of the House of God packed with a dense, endless crowd of Demons who, upon seeing them, charged rapidly towards them with red eyes and howling!

"Seeking death!"

Sword Without End's expression hardened, his eyes flashing with cold light, and the Three-Foot Qingfeng beside him shot out, striking straight into the demon horde. In the blink of an eye, dozens of demons' heads were neatly severed.

But what followed were even more demons, swarming up like locusts, bringing an oppressive sensation that made it hard to breathe.

"Yi, we..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, ready to fight to the death. He turned to consult Chen Yi on their defensive strategy but was suddenly shocked to find Chen Yi and his companion had vanished from his side.

He stood there somewhat stupefied, unsure of what to do.

"Hey, look up."

Tuberculosis Rabbit's voice sounded by his ear.

Instinctively looking up, Sword Without End noticed a sled floating in the air, which he hadn't seen before, and Tuberculosis Rabbit sat in the seat, leaning out to look down at him.

His lips twitched slightly, but without delay, he glanced at the demons just a few meters away from him, then slowly stepped onto his Three-Foot Qingfeng and rose next to the sled, looked up at Tuberculosis Rabbit on the sled and said with some resignation,

"Give a heads up before you run next time."

"Sorry about that, we didn't expect you to not run. We're still lacking some understanding between us, next time we'll be sure to remind you."

After Sword Without End and the others ascended, the demons below suddenly came to a standstill. Every demon looked up toward the three in the air, their faces contorted with rage as they howled continuously and brandished their pitchforks.

"It seems like they lack the ability to fly, as well as measures to counter airborne attacks,"

Chen Yi observed the demons below and, seeing no further action from them, came to his conclusion.

These demons looked a bit like gnolls, their weapons resembling pitchforks, their skin was a bright red, riddled with numerous cracked wounds, through which one could see the scalding red blood churning beneath.

"If that's the case, then this Destiny's Adversary on the D-level team map will be much easier. All you need is the ability to fly for an extended period, and it's very easy to clear this map."

"One might say, as long as you have a flying vehicle, this map can be cleared with a hundred percent certainty."

Chen Yi once again supplemented his conclusion with further information.

"But without the ability to fly or a flying vehicle, to survive for 24 hours amidst such an overwhelming tide of monsters is nearly a pipe dream, unless one acquires sufficiently advantageous props in the House of God."
