Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

Thousands of years ago, before the meteorite landed.

In the very center of the island where the Blue Taro Country is located, there is a huge mountain range that occupies 1/10 of the island.

After the meteorite fell from the sky, the mountain range was shattered and turned into the current Chaotic Star Rock.

In the distant era of the colonial company, the Star Rock was once the largest mineral source on the entire island.

There are barbaric and brutal indigenous tribes here, and the mysterious black death prison was born.

It can be said that it has been the Random Star Rock that has dominated the rise and fall of the entire island.

Even now that the Black Death Prison has disappeared, this is still the case.

Because the newly discovered huge mineral deposits in the blue taro country are the former black death prison.

Thinking about it, this is normal. If it weren't for the mighty power of the Black Death Prison, which terrified those mining giants, how could they be indifferent to such a piece of fat?

For those mining giants, how could they be willing to leave without digging up all the rare minerals on this island?

After Gutav ascended the throne, the Black Death Prison disappeared mysteriously.

A huge amount of rare minerals has been exposed to the eyes of the world again, supporting half of the blue taro country's export trade.

Correspondingly, this originally desolate and abandoned land was once again full of people.

In just a few decades, the surrounding small towns sprang up one after another and turned into cities with a population of over one million.

Surrounding the Random Star Rock, a small city group was born.

"I didn't expect to hide here."

"Looking at what the pointer points to, it seems that we have to go deep into the mountains."

In a small town around Luanxingyan, Chen Qi slowly stopped the car.

I am used to driving maglev sports cars, but I am really not used to this snail-like speed.

But the necessary caution is still necessary. God knows if the news that he is in charge of the blood salt case has been revealed?

His maglev sports car really leaked his whereabouts and identity.

Seeing that the case is about to be solved, it is impossible to fail at the most important link.

The reason for stopping at this time is because the terrain environment ahead is relatively chaotic, and it is no longer suitable for such ordinary vehicles to pass.

Chen Qi didn't bother to find another off-road vehicle, it was more convenient and quicker for him to walk.

After that, Chen Qi stopped detouring and walked straight in the direction of the pointer. He just sped up his pace a little, reaching 30 meters per second.

This shocking speed in the eyes of ordinary people is really just Chen Qi taking a leisurely walk, and he even has the leisure to watch the surrounding scenery.

······

The landform of Luanxingyan is indeed quite special, with dense gullies and faults everywhere.

The most special thing is that the magnetic field here is extremely disordered.

If ordinary people are not familiar with the environment here, if they are not careful, they will encounter "ghosts hitting the wall" and completely lose their way.

But these problems really didn't affect Chen Qi at all.

Originally, Chen Qi was worried that such a special landform would affect the locking of the compass, but the facts proved that he had underestimated the geographer after all.

There was no issue with the compass locking, not even a slight deflection.

In the eyes of ordinary people and even supernatural beings, Luan Xingyan is an extremely complicated environment. In the eyes of well-informed geologists, it is really a small puddle of calm water. The wet shoes are all because of my own carelessness.

······

"Is that where the black death prison used to be?"

"Business is really booming now!"

After turning over a hill, Chen Qi saw a dense industrial area.

Surrounding a black mountain, mining, smelting, and non-ferrous metal processing, many mining companies gathered here, and even formed a small city in the mountain.

After knowing the mystery of the Black Death Prison, Chen Qi thought about visiting this legendary prison where King Gutav was imprisoned.

After some inquiries, I learned that this place has long been turned into a mining area, and the original huge mountain was directly blown down.

This is really clean, without leaving any traces.

Unexpectedly, by luck, he actually came here today.

"Hiding in the small city below?"

"Interesting, I really know how to choose a place."

Chen Qi restrained his strength, turned into an ordinary person, and walked towards the small town below.

······

The history of Black Iron City is only 40 years, and almost all the citizens are foreign miners.

The reason for this is because it is only 10 miles away from the former Black Death Prison.

Before the Black Death Prison disappeared, no one dared to approach it except for those unlucky death row prisoners.

Even those natives who survived by chance did not dare to approach this sacred mountain again.

So it was really uninhabited before, until the mountain collapsed.

There are two completely different rumors about the collapse of the giant black mountain, or the disappearance of the Black Death Prison.

One is naturally that the kingdom's army took action and directly opened the way with explosives, in order to obtain mineral resources.

The second theory is full of mystery. On the day the king ascended the throne, a terrifying black dragon flew out of the black death prison in the mountains.

The terrifying black dragon tore up the mountain, and the massive mineral resources were completely exposed.

Regarding these two completely different rumors, the residents of the small town with the majority of miners naturally believed in the first one.

The second type of rumor is that those sycophants made it up to flatter the king.

······

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

In the only elementary school in Black Iron City, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Thirty-year-old Hammond finished his teaching mission for the day and headed home.

His home is located in the northernmost part of the city, already infinitely close to the edge of the city.

It definitely belongs to the suburbs in the suburbs, and you can see the hillside outside when you look up.

But because the land was cheap enough, he was able to buy a secluded courtyard with a meager salary.

Although he can't see any neighbors within a few hundred meters, it doesn't have any impact on him who lives alone.

As usual, Hammond opened the courtyard door.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard door, his body froze suddenly.

"Strange, how did you find out?"

"Although I didn't find any mechanism on the courtyard gate, just to be on the safe side, I entered your house by jumping over the wall."

"As an ordinary person, you shouldn't have been able to detect my intrusion."

"Aren't you an ordinary person?"

A stranger's voice came from Hammond's room.

Hammond's expression changed several times, but he finally walked into the yard as usual.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you break into my house?"

After opening the door, Hammond saw a blond man on his familiar workbench.

But he was unexpectedly calm and composed, without any sense of panic.

"Hammond, professional [scholar], suspected to be a senior apprentice."

"In 10 years, he has entered and exited the Blue Taro Country three times, and now he is teaching in a primary school in Heitiecheng."

"This is all the information I have found about you."

"So can you satisfy my curiosity, won't scholars be affected by the king's game?"

The blond man who appeared in Hammond's room was naturally Chen Qi.

Now he is wearing the vest of [Jomoa Chris].

As for Hammond, of course he is the real culprit behind the blood salt case.

"Hmph, since you know my identity as a scholar, you should know that spiritual influence is useless to us scholars."

"Although the demon game is extremely powerful, as long as we don't live here all the time, we won't be affected by it."

"You should be a player, why did you find me?"

Even though the identity of the other party is very likely to be a player of the demon game, Hammond is still fearless.

If he didn't know what he was doing behind the scenes, Chen Qi would really have thought that this guy was a tough guy.

"Why did you find you? You should be very clear in your heart."

"Blood salt is what you made."

"As for the evidence, in fact, I can find you, which can already explain a lot of problems."

Chen Qi picked up a small black lacquered stone from the workbench and began to play with it casually.

Under his meaningful gaze, Hammond's face finally couldn't hold back.

"How can it be?"

"How did you know there was something wrong with that stone?"

There are many small stones on Hammond's workbench, which seem to be collected as a hobby.

The one Chen Qi held in his hand was very inconspicuous.

But Hammond's reaction said it all.

······

"Is this the remains of the mountain god?"

"You guys are really talented. You actually thought of using human brain cells to raise those magnetic field beings."

"But what's the purpose?"

"If you can become a scholar, you are destined to be not a fool."

"Even if you feed these mountain god cells to make them white and fat, I don't believe you are trying to resurrect the mountain god."

"Because it just can't be done."

Chen Qi threw the small stones back and forth in his hands. After knowing the truth about the blood salt, Chen Qi is now fearless.

It's really because the life in these fields is too weak, even if he doesn't use his spirituality, Chen Qi can use the life field to obliterate them.

These guys can only bully ordinary people, and after unknowingly invading, they sabotage from the inside.

"Hmph, you were able to find this place because of the compass of the geologist, right?"

"How did this thing appear in your hand?"

"Isn't it supposed to be in the hands of the guy with the Ace of Spades?"

Hammond's face was very ugly. After seeing the compass hanging from Chen Qi's waist, he knew that he was really exposed.

Is it the Ace of Spades they want to get rid of me?

It shouldn't be, is it because their plan is about to succeed, and they plan to erase all hidden dangers?

Thinking of this, Hammond decided to "convince people with reason".

"I don't know if Ace of Spades told you about the special nature of our scholars. If you kill me, you will be in big trouble."

"I advise you not to meddle in our affairs!"

Hammond became confident again, and he firmly believed that he could persuade the other party.

"So that guy's card is the Ace of Spades!"

"Thank you for telling me this information!"

"In that case, let me tell the truth. I'm not familiar with that guy, nor was he sent to kill you."

"I can only blame you for your bad luck. I happen to be in charge of the blood salt case!"

"As for this compass, it's mine now!"

Chen Qi didn't expect to know the card of the original owner of the compass from Hammond.

Knowing that the guy's card is the ace of spades, Chen Qi believed that he would be able to find out his true identity just by inquiring a little bit.

But public is public, private is private, and he can't let Hammond go because of this.

"You were not sent by the Ace of Spades. It seems that my luck is indeed a bit bad."

"But your luck may not be better than mine."

"It's impossible for me to be caught by you alive. You came at the right time. I wouldn't live long."

After listening to Chen Qi's narration, Hammond began to murmur, and his expression became strange.

Chen Qi frowned. Hammond really wasn't lying. This guy's vitality was comparable to that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man, and he really didn't have long to live.

"I know all about your scholar's information. It is rumored that it is very troublesome after death."

"So I didn't intend to kill you at all, I just caught you for a job."

"Why don't you cooperate with me!"

Chen Qi persuaded him well, although he was very confident that he would not capsize in the gutter.

But wouldn't it be better to complete the task smoothly?

"Impossible, if you bring me back to the headquarters of the Orderers, Ace of Spades and they will definitely kill me."

"They didn't dare to touch me before because they had learned from the past and knew that [Scholar] is very troublesome."

"But it's different now. I have hidden a mountain god's remains in my hands. Once this matter is exposed, they will never tolerate me."

"In the end, killing me is just a little troublesome, and it will make them pay some price."

"But knowing that I might threaten their plans, they're bound to kill me."

"Fortunately, I expected this a long time ago, and I didn't intend to live."

"[Scholar], what a sad profession, with infinite knowledge, but living worse than ordinary people."

The more Hammond talked, the more emotional he became, and at the end he even looked sad and angry.

Apparently, the life of an academic is not all that happy.

······

"What a hassle!"

"There's a lot of news in this guy's words!"

"I just want to investigate a case, but I don't intend to sabotage other people's bullshit plans!"

Chen Qi looked at Hammond with a solemn expression. It seemed that this guy had long been restless as a scholar, but wanted to seek death.

But the death of [Scholar] will not be a simple and complete demise.

Hammond must be planning something.

Otherwise, he could commit suicide directly, so why raise mountain god cells.

After carefully examining Hasmond's physical condition, Chen Qi faintly had an unbelievable guess.

No way, Hammond wouldn't be so mad, would he?

Finally, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, Chen Qi still asked that question.

"You took blood salt too?"
