Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Holy Light counters Wizards and Blood Moon Power. The recent experiment proved this.

’Bringing the Holy Light Bead back might have some unexpected uses.’

’Besides, explaining its origin won’t be a hassle. Baili Xueyuan already has her suspicions about my identity. If she discovers the Holy Light Bead, I can just blame it on the incident in Alliance City.’

’As a Wizard with the Insight Ability, it’s perfectly normal for me to "find" some strange things!’

Compared to the downside of being discovered by Baili Xueyuan, Lin Qi felt the potential upside of this item was far greater.

Besides, he was a Wizard Professional. What was so wrong with enjoying collecting a bit of Holy Light?

He just loved the feeling of being bathed in Holy Light, like having scalding hot wax dripped on his body!

After putting the two items away, Lin Qi estimated the time. There were less than two hours left before the [Door] finished its cooldown.

’There’s more information to uncover, but I can’t deduce anything further with just reasoning. Once the incident in Red Fruit City is resolved, I need to hurry up and conduct the relevant experiments.’

Having decided on his course of action, Lin Qi walked out of the conference room.

Before leaving, Lin Qi saw the civil engineering students through the large hole in the wall.

Wang Ziru really knew how to get things done. Even though Lin Qi had assigned him multiple tasks at once, he was handling them all in an orderly fashion.

If all went according to plan, the large hole in the wall would probably be repaired before Lin Qi returned to the Cyber World.

Lin Qi took the elevator to the first floor and headed straight for Wei Yue.

Just as he reached the ground floor, Lin Qi saw Wang Ziru, who was about to head back.

When Wang Ziru saw Lin Qi, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Boss! Wei Yue is on the third floor. I just told her the matter was resolved and that you’d be back to see her later. I didn’t expect you to be so fast."

An ordinary person might have grumbled to themselves, ’You were coming anyway, yet you still made me make the trip! Couldn’t you have just told her yourself?!’

But who was Wang Ziru?

He never complained; he only focused on getting the job done!

Lin Qi nodded at Wang Ziru, then entered the main door.

Wang Ziru watched Lin Qi go inside before hurrying back without a moment’s delay.

He had to go supervise the quality of the civil engineering team’s work!

That was the wall of Lin Qi’s permanent base!

Even the concrete they poured had to be smoother than anywhere else!

...

Lin Qi found Wei Yue easily. At this moment, she was clearly distracted and on edge.

She was still reeling from the terror she had just experienced.

For an incomplete Blood Moon Envoy like her, the Blood Moon Will was devastatingly powerful.

Once the Blood Moon Will merged with her Sea of Consciousness, she would no longer be herself.

She would become the Blood Moon’s most loyal servant.

Wei Yue never wanted to experience that fanatical state a second time.

"Don’t worry. I accidentally stirred up that Blood Moon Will just now, but it’s been completely annihilated."

Lin Qi guessed why Wei Yue wanted to see him and directly offered his reassurance.

Hearing Lin Qi’s words, the color returned to Wei Yue’s face slightly.

After a long silence, Wei Yue finally grasped the key point of what Lin Qi had said. "Are you saying you have a way to annihilate the Blood Moon Will?" she asked.

Wei Yue was well aware of her situation. Living under someone else’s roof, she knew what she should and shouldn’t ask.

Because of this, she didn’t ask why Lin Qi would mess with something as terrifying as the Blood Moon Will. She only asked about him annihilating it.

To be honest, Wei Yue desperately wanted to know how Lin Qi had done it. The Blood Moon Will was the thing she feared most.

Lin Qi didn’t hide much from Wei Yue. In fact, he shared a considerable amount of detail with her. "Here’s what happened. I was trying to create an S-Class Potion, but there was an accident during the process..."

Lin Qi told Wei Yue the entire story of how the Blood Moon Will appeared and was annihilated, but he concealed the part about the Dragon Country Badge, attributing the appearance of the Holy Light to the ’buff’ from his previous Special Merit award.

Then Lin Qi asked, "Do you know anything about this Holy Light? Did the voices you heard before ever tell you if the Blood Moon has any natural enemies on Earth?"

Wei Yue was once one of the original Moon Worshipers, a Moon Summoner in the Modu Region. She had learned a great deal about the Extraordinary Domain through those inexplicable whispers.

Hearing this question, Wei Yue frowned, as if she had made a connection.

"I once heard emotional content in the whispers. I didn’t understand the specific meaning, but the whispers gave me the feeling of... something like an argument."

"Since it didn’t contain information about the Extraordinary Domain, I somehow overlooked it when you asked me before."

Lin Qi was a little surprised. He had originally come to see Wei Yue just to calm her down and prevent her from getting scared and running off.

He hadn’t expected to make such a surprising discovery.

An emotional argument!

This description gave Lin Qi a crucial piece of information.

What kind of beings would argue with each other?

Would a person argue with an insect?

Obviously not! Unless they were a lunatic.

Even if a person were bitten by an insect, even if it hurt, even if they were bitten to death, they wouldn’t stoop to arguing with it.

People only argue with other people—with beings of equal standing.

If the information Wei Yue perceived was true, it meant that something nearly equal to the Blood Moon existed in the Doomsday World.

For example, the heaven-piercing pillar of Spiritual Particles that appeared during the Spiritual Particle tide.

This thing was on Earth, and it was most likely what Headquarters was relying on.

Lin Qi fell silent for a moment. Then he looked into Wei Yue’s eyes and asked a critical question. "What do you think the Blood Moon is? Is it a living being?"

Based on his own previous perceptions, Lin Qi believed the Blood Moon was alive—a terrifying creature beyond human comprehension.

But Lin Qi wanted to know what Wei Yue, a former Moon Worshiper and a half-baked Blood Moon Envoy, felt and judged it to be.

Wei Yue nodded in affirmation without the slightest hesitation. "It’s definitely alive. And rather than a living being, it’s more like... a God. Yes, a God. At the beginning of the apocalypse, when I first heard Its whispers, that’s what I believed. It must be a God..."

As Wei Yue spoke, she grew more and more agitated.

But suddenly, she fell silent.

"No, that thing is definitely not a God! It’s a monster! Dammit, I’m still being influenced by it!"

Wei Yue’s expression was one of extreme pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked up at Lin Qi as if he were her last lifeline. "You have to reach Tier Four quickly. I don’t want to live in fear like this anymore. I always feel like the Blood Moon Will could appear at any moment and drag me into the abyss..."

Her voice grew choked with sobs.

She hadn’t fully recovered yet; she was still affected by the sudden appearance of the Blood Moon Will earlier today.

Seeing Wei Yue in this state, Lin Qi was at a loss for how to comfort her.

’She’s a pitiful person.’

That was the only sentence that came to Lin Qi’s mind; he had no other superfluous thoughts.

Lin Qi had experienced something similar—the feeling of being watched by the Blood Moon—so he knew how agonizing it was to have that feeling constantly looming over you.

Sighing, Lin Qi said to Wei Yue, "The Holy Light can annihilate the Blood Moon Will. I’ve already found a preliminary way to obtain Holy Light. Tomorrow, I’ll have Wang Ziru deliver a Holy Light Bead to you."

"If an accident happens in the future, you can crush the Holy Light Bead and use the Holy Light to fight the Blood Moon Will."

"If the Blood Moon Will is weak, the Holy Light will annihilate it."

"But if the Holy Light can’t fight off that particular Blood Moon Will..."

Lin Qi paused before delivering the final part: "At least it can buy you a final moment of clarity. You can make the last choice for yourself."

Lin Qi couldn’t make any guarantees to Wei Yue. After all, even he couldn’t predict the changes in the Doomsday World.

Who knew what other accidents might happen before he reached Tier Four.

Once he made an extra Holy Light Bead tomorrow, he would give one to her. That would be doing all he could, a gesture of thanks for the intelligence she had provided.
