My Players Are So Fierce

Damn!

The tail of the Wolf People is an important organ, can you just touch it like that?

You little vampire punk, you deserve a beating.

“Everyone go back upstairs! I need to stay here and check the concentration of subspace energy and determine what to do next.”

After Murphy learned the whole story from Natalie, he quickly issued orders, and the players returned to the third floor. Lord Yvette stepped forward and asked:

“Has my darling Lena been transported to your place too?”

“What? Wait! What’s the deal with Lena again?”

Murphy only then realized that the recent transportation that sent the Explorer “into the lion’s den” had also involved his daughter. Facing Murphy’s inquiry, Yvette widened her eyes in surprise, exclaiming:

“Wait… aren’t you her elder? You don’t even know how to locate your own daughter?”

“Uh, I never learned that.”

Murphy shrugged his shoulders, saying:

“Besides, Lena isn’t my daughter, she’s free, I just temporarily lack the Origin Blood to grant her freedom.”

“So, you don’t plan to keep her?”

Yvette immediately showed interest, the Sly Head rubbed his hands together with a sly grin and said:

“How about giving her to me, then? You see, you took Lionea from me, you have to compensate me with a daughter! Let’s agree happily, after you complete the Holy Blood tour, you make Lena free, and then I’ll seamlessly turn her into my darling…”

“You talk to her, I have no objections.”

Murphy didn’t want to get involved in this “human trafficking” mess; he just wanted to figure out a few things. So, he asked Yvette how to accurately locate his daughter and then sent her away to the third floor of the base.

Murphy was left alone here. He stared at the distant subspace fracture that was constrained and then placed a hand on his heart.

He asked:

“Mannis, I think I’ve found the ritual node meant for sacrificing Cardman City that you mentioned before.”

“What? How did you find it? I didn’t even tell you the exact location!”

The Endless One was startled awake.

The secret location was supposed to be a cornerstone of its cooperation with Murphy, Mannis had intended to use this information to “convince” Murphy to help it do a few more things. But before it could say anything, Murphy had already discovered it?

What kind of luck is this!

“Is it below the R-9 base?”

Murphy asked, and Mannis skeptically replied:

“What is the R-9 base? You’re not fooling me, are you? That place is supposed to be near the Eternal Abyss… wait! Did you find something in that hellish base?”

“I found a subspace fracture that’s been around for over a thousand years. When I approached it just now, I saw Cardman City floating in the Star Realm!”

Murphy said honestly:

“If this isn’t the location for the sacrificial ritual, then why would I see it?”

“What? A subspace fracture over a thousand years old? Are you kidding me? I must be dreaming!”

Mannis screamed:

“It’s absolutely impossible! Subspace energy is chaotic and violent, constantly creating disturbances, how could it remain stable for a thousand years? This defies all the truths I know.”

“Because something is constraining it…”

Murphy glanced at the layer of pale light he was very familiar with that was binding the subspace fracture, it was very similar to his Omega Program, but not the same thing.

He whispered:

“Prototype subspace clearing program codenamed ‘Beta’… It appeared in Lord Pa Ying’s memories; I’m now really suspecting this subspace fracture is the one that destroyed Eden District over a thousand years ago.

That disaster never truly ended; it was just suppressed here and has continued until now.

But that’s not the primary issue now.

It’s remained stable for a thousand years and is bound to remain stable in the short term, what I care about now is Cardman City’s hundred thousand people!

Mannis, give me a suggestion, can I use this fracture to come up with a solution?”

“Mm, you’re putting me in a tough spot, poor snake.”

The Endless One sighed and said:

“Just because I’ve found the location through endless cycles of time doesn’t mean I understand those complex things, and I’m not someone who likes learning, I just got beaten by the Silver Wolf…”

“The R-9 base also has Creational Energy, different from the frequency at the Civilization Museum, I just need to find the energy room, you know.”

“Alright, wait a bit, I’m going to learn those complex things now, I’ll definitely come up with a solution for you, wait for me, my sly yet generous collaborator.”
