...Troublesome! Another fanatic who's been influenced!

"Yeah, he's really super handsome..."

"I agree, so perfect..."

Thinking about the plight of their colleagues, the two policemen felt a slight shiver in their hearts and decisively nodded repeatedly in agreement.

There was no need to have a conflict with the other party. They were just handling a routine task anyway, just a hurried preliminary investigation, and they weren't professionals, so there was no need to be too dedicated for the sake of the United States' over-the-top standards.

After a few more questions, finding no issues, the two policemen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to leave, and finally warned Gu Mo that the city was under lockdown for a while, and he shouldn't wander around without permission, or he'd have to bear any consequences himself. They hoped he would behave during this period.

Gu Mo, of course, didn't care at all and readily agreed, almost patting his chest and boasting that there wasn't anyone more well-behaved than him in this world.

Closing the door again, he chuckled softly, then stretched and turned to go upstairs.

........

Last night was a crazy night.

This morning, the related information had already spread across the globe. Although, with the tacit collaboration of the five great benefactors, the entire city where the incident occurred was sealed off, and the relevant news had not been mentioned to the general public, hiding it for long was also a question… At least in this city, the number of witnesses from last night was countless.

According to the laws of this realm and the other realm, living people in this world shouldn't remember information from the otherworld. They're still alive, not dead, so it's natural to live by the laws of this realm.

So, just like you might occasionally see Demons or Gods lurking in shadows, you'd quickly forget after turning your head; you shouldn't have any memory… But last night's protagonists were neither the Demons nor the Gods of this world.

Moreover, they used their unique Power to make Lies and trickery become reality, even non-scientific things were clearly recorded by cameras and satellite images. This was the first time science and intelligence clearly captured exact evidence of the existence of the mysterious side.

Perhaps for this reason, no one forgot; everyone remembered clearly what had happened...

This stirred up a stormy unrest, especially at the end, when a bizarre entity claiming to be a Traveling Mage from another world defiantly delivered a terrifying speech to the satellites of various countries—

This world is already terminally ill, destined to collapse into a ghost-infested era of despair and death. He originally viewed this world as his possession, and had thought about cleansing the filth and infection before, but later changed his mind.

The Traveling Mage from another world discovered he didn't need to predetermine a human stance; Demons occupying this world didn't affect him. Simply for fun, or to add some interest to the matter, he still wished to give humanity a chance… which is why he said the stake is the entire world.

Honestly, these words are rather alarming and couldn't be immediately accepted. The five great benefactors couldn't unconditionally believe this statement.

However, it's certainly taken seriously; the Power displayed by the other party was too incomprehensible, as if a dimensional attack, leaving people utterly baffled, and there's also the sight of the all-over-the-whole-city Demons and ghosts scattering away before dawn, which was clearly captured by satellite images—

That part was truly eerie, thinking about the thousands upon thousands of dark Monsters being lurking and spreading out was enough to make everyone shiver... Especially as this isn't all; perhaps the same density exists worldwide.

Therefore, early in the morning, the United States decisively intervened. The whole city barely freed from the control of the God of Mischief's Power, was quickly taken over by the US Army... Of course, it wasn't all American soldiers, as such a large force couldn't be mobilized here in a short time, so local police were conscripted too.

"But the gains aren't bad..."

Returning to the wardrobe, Gu Mo opened the system panel through the mirror, checking his collections.

One B-rating, another B-rating...

In total, three Golden Keys.

Only one was given from Fujisaki Kouta's death, which could be considered matching the worth of the Karma he bore, while the other two were from his final speech, deciding to play a game with the entire world.

Seemingly treating this world like a Gladiatorial Arena with disdain, in reality, it was his Power that revealed the existence of the mysterious side and Demons, and pointed out the current situation of Demons, along with the trend towards a negative ending if things continued this way.

Giving humanity a chance to react and prepare, although it's uncertain if they can seize the opportunity to change this world's terrible trajectory, his actions were undoubtedly a substantial "destruction" of the Dungeon World's Fate Karma, which earned him the highest comprehensive rating to date.

"Seems that's how it is, such a reward mechanism, totally encouraging me to stir things up..."

Looking at the three Golden Keys lying quietly in the inventory, Gu Mo's eyes held a trace of bewilderment.

Is this the most correct strategy?

He pondered for a while, slightly shook his head, then changed into casual clothes and went out. The previous hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him; he planned to grab something to eat... Whether he would leave directly or wait until his mask cooled down to stage a grand farewell performance was still undecided.

Perhaps because things were still chaotic, Gu Mo searched for a long time before finding a restaurant still open for business.

Pushing open the door, sitting at a spot by the window, Gu Mo waited for the waiter while looking out through the glass window.

"Broken Throat God will save us!"

"Lord Broken Throat! I love you..."

"Get lost! Don't touch me!"

In the midst of the shouting, fanatical fans holding banners or large posters of his appearance from last night clashed with a group of policemen, quickly escalating to punches and kicks, staging a full-fledged brawl in the street.

Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly withdrew his gaze. He hadn't felt much earlier, but now a strong sense of shame emerged from his heart… Never mind whatever else, he should've thought of a more serious and imposing name last night; it wasn't anything then, but it feels uncomfortable now...

As he sighed, he noticed a few people sitting at his table.

They were a group of excited young men and women, babbling endlessly about last night's events, completely ignoring the fact that the table was already occupied.

"Um... Sorry, this spot is taken."

With a gentle tap of his knuckles on the table, Gu Mo softly reminded them.

The excited conversation abruptly paused, the young men and women seemed to finally notice him, and in great embarrassment hurriedly stood up, bowing repeatedly in apology, explaining they hadn't seen him earlier and sheepishly moved to another table in the corner.

"Didn't... see me?"

Gu Mo turned to look at his reflection in the glass window, faintly feeling this scene was somewhat familiar.

Just like before in a restaurant, Yato hadn't spoken yet, and the waiter hadn't noticed his existence, thinking only Gu Mo and Ichijima Hiyori were there.
