Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

Padilla Kingdom, inside Lu Shen's luxurious villa.

Although it was almost midnight, the lights were still bright.

…

"Why?"

"Why do I feel some kind of throbbing, and suddenly feel uneasy and expectant?"

"It's like I've been waiting for something for a long time, and tonight it's going to happen!"

In the study, the old Lu Shen murmured to himself.

Of course he knows everything that is happening in the outside world.

But whether it's the huge sales of "The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul" or the polarization of word-of-mouth for the new volume, it's not the reason that makes him uneasy right now.

For Lu Shen, the moment he stopped writing, "The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul" was no longer important.

…

"Is it okay, Teacher Lu?"

"The target person seems to be a little depressed?"

"The medical team is ready. [Purgatory Ghoul] has a polarizing reputation. Teacher Lu is old and frail, so he may not be able to handle it."

Lu Shen's unstable state naturally fell into the eyes of all the "good Samaritans" who monitored him.

Then 10 medical teams arrived quietly outside Lu Shen's villa.

…

Whenever Lu was "unwell", the medical team would break in the next moment.

Although the current reputation of "Purgatory Ghoul" is polarized, the decline has not yet appeared.

Teacher Lu still has value in living.

…

"Haha, the defense is really tight."

"A mere ordinary person actually enjoys the treatment of important political figures from some top middle-power countries."

"If I hadn't taken action this time, it would have been really difficult to kill Lu Shen."

A few 10 kilometers away from Lu Shen's villa, Kroras' figure stood quietly.

Under the pale moonlight, Krolas's face was particularly ferocious and twisted.

This is not because he is mentally ill, but because Krolas is activating the ancestor virus in his body.

…

Back then on Shengxian Island, the Biochemical Path had achieved some results.

Although the subsequent research data was forced to be "destroyed", some practical results still remained.

"Bang bang bang!"

Krolas's heart beat rapidly, and in the next moment, a dense cluster of eyes appeared on its heart.

These eyes kept squirming on Krolas's heart, which was the reason why his face was distorted.

That really hurts!

…

Bang bang bang!

As his eyes moved, Krolas's heartbeat became slower and slower.

Eventually it fell to the level of ordinary people.

At a certain moment, Krolas's heartbeat seemed to resonate with something.

…

It was extremely weird. At the moment when the resonance appeared, the eyes on Krolas's heart began to "spontaneously ignite".

This is a curse and a sacrifice.

Krolas was extremely kind and dedicated part of his power to Lu Shen.

What he just captured was naturally Lu Shen's heartbeat rate.

…

"ah!"

At the moment when Krolas's eyes started to spontaneously ignite, Lu Shen in the villa suddenly let out a scream.

He clutched his chest in great pain, as if he was having a heart attack.

"No, something's really wrong with Teacher Lu."

"Quick, quick, the medical team comes in quickly."

"Teacher Lu, absolutely nothing can happen to you."

…

The moment Lu Shen was in trouble, all the "good Samaritans" who were monitoring him jumped up immediately.

They have waited for so long and finally today.

They were very familiar with Lu Shen's physical condition and had long expected that Lu Shen would have such a day.

It was really because Teacher Lu took too many supplements.

Teacher Lu’s survival to this day is all due to everyone’s strict control to prevent counterfeit and substandard supplements from entering Teacher Lu’s body.

But now, under the weight of external pressure, Teacher Lu's heart was finally overwhelmed.

…

"Oh, in vain!"

Looking at the dozens of medical teams rushing towards Lu Shen's villa, Krolas gave a disdainful sneer.

So what if there are some extraordinary beings and alchemists mixed in?

Can you handle the power of the ancestor virus?

…

Lu Shen's current situation is that the ancestor virus in his body has been activated.

In this case, he could only carry it with his own life.

Not to mention other extraordinary beings, not even Krolas himself could save Lu Shen.

Unless someone can "suppress" the ancestor virus in Lu Shen's body.

…

After confirming that Lu Shen had indeed been tricked, Kroras turned and left without hesitation.

There is no doubt that Lu Shen will die, there is no need to look any further.

If he stayed here, he would be more likely to be discovered by the "angry" guardians.

This is not beautiful!

With a wave of his sleeves, the peerless assassin Krolas floated away.

…

"woo woo woo woo!"

As soon as Krolas left, the Lu Shen Manor was filled with ambulances.

Hundreds of medical professionals rushed toward Lu Shen's study at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

At the same time, Lu Shen's manor was also completely blocked.

And there are constant guards, starting to explore the outer layers.

Although Teacher Lu has a high probability of having a heart attack, what if it happens?

…

"No, Teacher Lu passed out."

"Quick, quick, use the defibrillator."

"Get out of the way and let me punch Teacher Lu in the heart. It's electrified."

"You mortals, don't get in the way. Fill me with my alchemy potion, the green one."

Although they belong to different forces, and although it is their first time to cooperate, hundreds of medical experts quickly achieved sincere cooperation.

It only took half a minute for Teacher Lu's heart to be repaired by them.

…

This looks very good, but the crux of the problem is that Teacher Lu still hasn't woken up.

How can this be?

They are the top medical experts.

Teacher Lu's brain was checked more than a dozen times by them, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

How could he still be unconscious?

Even if you are a sleeping pig, you should wake up after being tortured like this!

…

Just 10 minutes after Lu Shen suffered a heart attack, a piece of news that "Teacher Lu is critically ill" began to circulate on the Internet.

The blogger who posted this news also thoughtfully included a picture.

In the picture, Lu Shen's mansion was filled with ambulances.

…

"What? Teacher Lu actually had a heart attack?"

"Real or false? It's not those [traitors] who are spreading rumors, right?"

"It's possible that those traitors are now eager to eat Teacher Lu's flesh and drink Teacher Lu's blood."

"Slander, we can't accept Teacher Lu abusing the master again, but we don't want Teacher Lu to die."

"That's right, who will help us modify the plot if he dies?"

"Hahaha, let you fight, [Super long standby] finally can't bear it anymore!"

"Go away, it's not your turn here to be the remnants of "The Legend of the Demon Moon Girl"!"

"Yes, it must be other fans in the circle who are making trouble and adding insult to injury."

…

As soon as the news of "Teacher Lu's critical illness" was released, half of the Internet woke up.

It’s really because the popularity of [Purgatory Ghoul] is too high today.

Originally, the Purgatory Legion was divided and fighting each other, which had made many people smile with joy.

Now that [ultra-long standby] doesn’t work anymore, it’s even more frustrating.

…

[The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] is indeed very popular, and the Purgatory Legion is invincible in the fan circle.

But precisely because of this, more people hate them.

There was a problem with the plot of [The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul] today, and I don’t know how many people cheered and were watching the joke.

Now Mr. Lu is "not going to be able to do it any more". God has eyes!

…

Of course, at this time, no matter the people who were gloating about the misfortune, they still changed their minds again and started to protect the Lord's [Purgatory Legion].

I don't think Lu Shen will really die.

After all, Teacher Lu’s [Super Long Standby] name is so famous that he has sent away 10 competitors.

Those who can become competitors with Teacher Lu are all cartoonists.

This shows how terrifying Teacher Lu is.

…

"Hype up, sell poorly, gain sympathy."

"This is a conspiracy by the magazine."

"That's right, Old Thief Lu is using the bitter meat trick!"

After the initial "shock", the clients came online one after another and began to analyze the matter of [Lu Shen's critical illness].

With in-depth digging, various "doubts" have surfaced one after another.

…

For example, there were too many rescue teams showing up at Lu Shen's villa.

This is too fake, too exaggerated, and this is not the way to act.

Another example is that the first blogger to publish the news [Teacher Lu is critically ill] is inextricably linked to Alpha Magazine.

And the accompanying picture was taken so steadily that my hands didn’t even tremble.

…

In addition, hundreds of other doubtful points were uncovered using microscopes.

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that this was a tragedy led by Alpha Magazine.

The purpose is to restore the reputation of [The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul].

This is a common practice among fans and is not surprising.

Teacher Lu is indeed old and confused, and even his hype routines are so outdated.

…

But I have to say that "selling miserable" works really well.

At least the Purgatory Legion, which was fighting internally, calmed down.

Everyone is "uneasy" waiting for the latest news from Teacher Lu.

As for the "quarrel", it's not too late to wait until Old Thief Lu "comes to life".

As a result, three days later, Teacher Lu really couldn't survive.

…

"[The Biography of the Purgatory Ghoul] The author Lu Shen suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma. He has not woken up yet."

On the human hot search list, news related to Lu Shen and [The Legend of the Purgatory Ghoul] has stayed at the top of the list for three days.

If it were normal, such an unprecedented honor in the history of comics would have been flaunted everywhere by the [Purgatory Legion] and other fans would be ignored.

…

However, this time, [Purgatory Legion] completely disappeared from the Internet.

They are now gathering in the restored [Purgatory] forum to pray for Teacher Lu!

Who would have thought that this time it was not the magazine's operation.

Teacher Lu actually played it seriously.

…

In fact, it wasn't just the fans who were confused, the crowd was also shocked.

They really didn't expect that Lu Shen, who had the title of "Super Long Standby", would really be "executed by God".

All major official mainstream media would have reported on it.

Everyone thought it was because the magazine director was addicted and wanted to make a series!

…

Although Old Thief Lu is not dead yet, all the top medical experts are helpless.

He wants to survive, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Hey, life is a big deal, everyone should be kind.

The only thing I can do is to be more polite online and draw a small circle of curses in real life.

…

"It's over, our magazine is going to be over!"

"Yes, [Purgatory Ghoul's Legend] has been sold out again, and all the goods that were previously in the bottom of the box have been cleared out."

"Do you still have a conscience and a brain? If Teacher Lu dies, who will we eat from now on?"

"Let's rest on our laurels!"

The atmosphere in Alpha Magazine is extremely weird.

…

The initial news that Teacher Lu was critically ill was indeed released by them.

But they didn't think that Teacher Lu would really have a problem, because they knew that the medical team was real.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Teacher Lu's heart burst, there would still be time to replace it.

…

But with so many top medical experts here, every organ in Teacher Lu’s body has been repaired, so why is he unconscious!

There is nothing wrong with the brain. Not to mention brain death, there is not even brain damage.

…

When they first heard the news that "Teacher Lu might not wake up," Alpha Magazine was frightened.

It felt like the backbone was gone and the sky was falling.

But then the "Breaking Sales" of "The Legend of Purgatory Ghoul" poured hot water on their frozen bodies.

…

This time, it was not the new volume that sold out, but all the previous "Purgatory Ghoul" and various peripherals.

It is no exaggeration to say that this wave of food will be enough for them to lie down for 50 years.

And 50 years later, we can still rest on our laurels.

…

Unknowingly, some dark thoughts began to grow in the magazine.

There is a "problem" in the plot of the new volume, which proves that Teacher Lu has begun to decline.

In this case, it is better to just "sleep for a long time without waking up".

…

At least this way he won't end up with the reputation of a man who has exhausted all his talents and is unable to maintain his career in the late years.

And the unconscious Teacher Lu is more suitable for "control"!

If you pull them out and sell them during the holidays, you can easily reap a wave of tears and money. This is much easier than making money on their knees before.

…

Of course, everyone just thinks about such dark thoughts and dare not speak out.

Because Alpha Magazine knows very well that whether Teacher Lu can wake up or not, the decision-making power has never been theirs.

But it lies in the big benefactors behind it.

They are the ones who have the possibility to control Teacher Lu's life and death.

…

There are even some people who secretly suspect that Teacher Lu's long sleep was planned by some financial backers.

Killing the goose to retrieve the eggs is unwise.

But what if the old hen can no longer lay eggs?

And that old hen also saved a nest of golden eggs?

…

As we all know, Teacher Lu has never been married and does not have any children.

Just wait and see, if Teacher Lu remains in a coma for a few more days, a large number of illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters will soon emerge.

…

"Strange, what's going on?"

"How come Lu Shen is not dead?"

At a base somewhere in the Biochemical Path, Krolas looked at the information in his hand with great confusion.

This is the top-secret information that Biochemistry Dao used all its "efforts" to obtain.

It includes all the treatment plans for Lu Shen after he became comatose, as well as the latest physical examination data.

Everything showed that Lu Shen just fell into a coma and was not dead.

But how is this possible?

…

"I don't believe it, this is fake!"

"Lu Shen will definitely die."

"Hmph, this must be the Skull and Bones."

"They want to play tricks and delay time to create a fake Lu Shen."

"Lu Shen will naturally wake up by then!"

Krolas firmly believed that he would not miss, so Lu Shen must be dead.

Everything now is fake news and a delaying strategy.

The Skull and Bones Society will never let "Lu Shen" die, and they will definitely let Lu Shen continue to be serialized.

…

Krolas had already anticipated this situation before taking action.

He had already planned a backup plan. Once the Skull and Bones Society commits fraud, he will continue to publish the subsequent [Purgatory Ghoul Biography].

The anti-counterfeiting team he has arranged will jump out.

Lu Zhen's unique painting style is the best anti-counterfeiting mark.

How could it be so easy for the Skull and Bones Society to commit fraud?

…

But what makes Krolas strange is that the Skull and Bones Society's current reaction is too calm.

This is wrong, very wrong.

In Krolas's expectation, if the Skull and Bones Society found out that the [Ancestral Virus] was responsible, they would definitely seek revenge on him.

Even if the Skull and Bones Society is not aware of the [Ancestral Virus], they should still seek help from their biochemical path.

…

After all, although their biochemical path has a bad reputation, they are experienced experts in causing diseases and harming people.

However, now, Skull and Bones is as motionless as an old hen nesting in its nest.

Krolas "kindly" sent an inquiry and offered to help, but he was also rejected.

This directly confused Krolas.

…

"Everyone, it's confirmed now."

"The reason why Lu Shen fell into a coma is because his consciousness traveled through time again!"

"Angsa City, Lu Shen most likely traveled to Ansa City again."

"And the root of all this should be the reveal of [Purgatory]!"

"It's strange. According to our calculations, even if Lu Shen can travel again, he must wait until [Purgatory] truly appears."

"The progress is too advanced now!"

On the tree leading to the secluded area, senior members of the Skull and Bones Society were having a meeting.

What they are discussing now can only be about Lu Shen who is in a coma.

…

The initial problem with Lu Shen was that the Skull and Bones Society's first reaction was that there was a villain at work.

And their target of suspicion instantly locked onto their "ally" Biochemical Dao.

As a result, after their experts came to the scene in person and inspected it.

But they discovered that they had misunderstood their "allies".

…

There was nothing wrong with Lu Shen's body at all, but his consciousness had traveled through time again.

Speaking of which, the culprit is still the Skull and Bones Society themselves.

So in order to keep the secret of Lu Shen's second time traveling, they had no choice but to reject the good intention of Biochemical Dao to help.

…

"We must take good care of Lu Shen's body."

"If this guy passes through Angsa City again, great changes may occur."

"Actually, we have always been unsure whether it is Lu Shen who came back from Angsa City."

"But no matter what, we have good intentions and there will be no conflict with him."

"The key now is the [Purgatory Ghoul Biography] in the spiritual dimension."

"The popularity of [Purgatory Ghoul] in the real world is too high, which has brought forward the transformation of the spiritual dimension."

"Without Lu Shen creating the plot, we can only work hard in the spiritual dimension."

…

After some discussion, the Skull and Bones Society finally reached a consensus.

Lu Shi must live. Originally, if Lu Shi really died, their Skull and Bones Society would start the [Funeral Plan] and publish a [Posthumous Manuscript].

But now that people have traveled through time, Skull and Bones has to "proceed with caution."

…

The next focus must be on the spiritual dimension, or they can only exert force from there.

I really hope that the newly emerged third-party forces can be kicked out directly during this wave of spiritual dimension transformation.
