An eerie world.

Jiang Xiao hadn't inquired yet.

He had previously asked Sun Wei and Mu Xitang, but they, as minor figures in the Seven Stars, didn't know much.

They were born within Kaidan.

Upon hearing her father inquire about the details of the eerie world, Shi Shi perked up her ears, wanting to know what the world belonging to her was like.

"That world..."

Seeing the look of anticipation in Shi Shi's eyes, Niu Jieshi shook his head with a smile.

"The eerie world is not as good as you imagine, it's very brutal there."

First of all, because the eerie beings hardly ever get sick, the field of medicine there is almost a blank slate.

Education is okay, roughly equivalent to the elementary level on Blue Star, and beyond that, it's unnecessary.

Because once eerie beings reach the age of fifteen, they no longer receive legal protection.

Whether they live or die depends entirely on their own abilities.

"Of course, not everyone in there is bad; not every eerie being is a presence of extreme cruelty, there are also kind-hearted eerie beings."

And their level of technology is extremely low, roughly equivalent to Blue Star's steam age.

"If we were to write novels with the worldview of our eerie world, it should be a steampunk worldview plus eeriness."

There are no various entertainment facilities like on Blue Star.

The most attractive thing for eerie beings is places similar to Western-style old taverns from the medieval Blue Star era.

Inside, there are often eerie beings from north to south sharing their adventures or experiences.

That world is very magical, with various regions and barriers, and at the same time boring, monotonous yet dangerous.

Simply put, it is a world of survival of the fittest.

Whether one can live peacefully depends entirely on luck.

Upon hearing the end, Shi Shi looked disinterested.

That so-called eerie world is truly awful.

No happy drinks, no hot pot, no milk tea, and no computer games.

No, forget computer games, that world doesn't even have small gaming consoles like the ones in Shi Shi's initial village.

Forget living, in less than three days, Shi Shi would probably be sick of it.

Wang Dayong's expression became increasingly conflicted during the conversation between Niu Jieshi and Jiang Xiao.

His brow was furrowed, lips moving silently as if wanting to say something but uncertain where to start.

His hands unconsciously clenched, knuckles turning white from the pressure.

His gaze would drift to Jiang Xiao, then quickly dart away, like a student awaiting a teacher's call, filled with both expectation and fear.

Niu Jieshi seemed to notice Wang Dayong's peculiarity, gently nudging him with an elbow, signaling him to voice his trouble.

But Wang Dayong was frozen as if immobilized, only shaking his head, mouthing words without sound.

His relationship with Jiang Xiao had never been great, so how could he start now?

Jiang Xiao finally noticed Wang Dayong's unease, his gaze calmly sweeping over Wang Dayong's face, eyes filled with inquiry.

"Wang Dayong, speak if you have something to say."

Hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Wang Dayong seemed relieved, taking a deep breath, as if gathering all his courage for this moment.

"Brother Xiao, I... I'll be honest, I have some selfish reasons for coming this time."

His voice trembled a bit, evidently struggling to overcome inner fear and anxiety.

It turned out, Wang Dayong had the same request as Niu Jieshi.

He indicated that if he were to die in this calamity, he hoped Jiang Xiao could somehow save his son...

This guy actually has a son?

Jiang Xiao looked at Wang Dayong peculiarly.

But why should he rescue his son?

He himself didn't have a blood clot in his brain.

However, Jiang Xiao did not directly refuse, instead he threw the question back at Wang Dayong.

"Come, tell me, how do I save your son?"

Wang Dayong fell silent.

He wanted to say to carry his son out like how Shi Shi was brought out.

But the principle of equivalent exchange was taught to Jiang Xiao by him.

The cost required is something Wang Dayong couldn't bear.

"Then, if one day you encounter my son and can help, would you lend a hand? He is a good eerie being."

As he spoke, Wang Dayong also took out a photo, showing a little boy who was no more than ten years old.

A good eerie being?

Alright then, his son is also an eerie being.

Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that if he indeed is a good eerie being, he naturally wouldn't harm him.

But then again, the full-villain scenario in Kaidan was something Jiang Xiao had encountered often.

After all, good eerie beings most likely don't live long.

Niu Jieshi sighed, also aware of Jiang Xiao's predicament, and couldn't help but speak.

"Sigh, up until now, we don't even know what this inexplicable god is, or what it looks like."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, telling them about the previous incident with a few history professors.

Essentially meaning that someone knows what this 'god' is, but it's unspeakable.

Even directly mentioning the 'god's' name would result in instantaneous death, not giving them a chance to speak.

"Do you in the eerie world have such gods?"

Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi exchanged a glance and then decisively shook their heads.

Though their world is quite magical, there have never been things like 'gods'.

.....

As for Blue Star here.

They have succeeded, yet failed.

Those who couldn't guess the implied chosen ones remained as usual.

But some chosen ones who guessed the message from Blue Star related to Cthulhu went mad shortly afterward.

The meeting room which was bustling a moment ago fell silent again.

A long time later, a sigh was heard from the corner.

"What a perverse existence..."

"Is this pushing people to a dead end?"

"Three chosen ones have already gone mad, and one has jumped off a building. Are we... still continuing the experiment?"

"Let's wait a bit..."

Director Wang rubbed his sore brow, now the entire Blue Star was plunged into panic.

Not because the altar of the Nika Tribe was known to the public.

But due to what Niu Jieshi said in Jiang Xiao's live broadcast.

"If this matter isn't handled properly, the affected won't be limited to this world, it might very well affect our eerie world too."

The eerie world is not even within Kaidan, yet it can be influenced by the 'god's' power.

Then shouldn't their Blue Star have similar worries?

Despite the official and big V's across various countries rapidly debunking rumors, the news about "Cthulhu soon arriving at Blue Star" spread wildly.

Everyone was in a state of anxiety,

"Continue to refute the rumors, then suspend the experiment, this time mainly relying on Jiang Xiao, and focus on the project and specialization of that world instead."

Director Wang concluded decisively, but for now, this is all they could do.

At this time, Jiang Xiao, carrying Shi Shi and with Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi, had arrived at the room where those history experts worked.

At this moment, the latter were still frantically going through materials, appearing as if there was new progress.
