Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 922 I've come to save the world? Really?
Jiang Wengao imprinted this information firmly in his mind, and then immediately typed to ask: "You just said that if you were given ten years, none of these things would happen. Can I understand that in ten years you will have the power to kill the Heart of the Rending King?"

"It was just a casual joke, like how if Li Shimin had gone to the Western Jin Dynasty, perhaps the War of the Eight Princes wouldn't have happened. It's just a thought, like comparing apples and oranges." Su Yue hesitated for a moment, "Are these things really that important?"

Jiang Wengao could tell that Sister Su in the game was running out of patience. Indeed, he had already let her talk too much, with tens of thousands of words just about the details of the underworld.

Let's save our game first, because starting over again will take too much time, and we only have so much time to sleep each night.

When he opened the settings in the upper right corner to save his game, a message popped up: "[The save function is only available to players who participated extensively in the closed beta. Regular closed beta players can only use the 'Continue Game' option.]"

"Damn it!" Jiang Wengao cursed as he sat at his computer desk.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and thought that it was just a matter of not being able to save his progress; he could just start over and spend a little more time.

But he also vaguely sensed the consequences of not being able to save the data.

Because in the closed beta version, the dialogue of key characters can no longer be skipped in advance, and the dialogue cannot be sped up. Every sentence is played at a normal speaking speed, just like a real conversation.

If we start all over again and talk to Su Yue at this point in the story, it will take just as long. If we advance the story further in the future, just the progress alone will take up an entire night.

The flow of time in the Scar Age is different from that in the present world, and the Heart of the Rending King doesn't have much time to waste.

Jiang Wengao hesitated for a moment, then continued typing: "You mean, if there had been some ritual or sealed artifact back then that could have boosted your power to ten years later, then you could have killed the Heart of the Rift King back then?"

"No, you weren't made this way ten years later. Are you the way you are now because of cell division during infancy, growth hormone, and other chemicals?"

Illness, exercise, physical activity, and accidents—these are the real-life experiences that shape a person.

After saying that, Su Yue picked up the book again: "It's almost time."

As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded from the loudspeaker, and the staff reminded him that his conversation time was about to end and that he should come out as soon as possible.

Jiang Wengao knew that if he continued to ask random questions, he probably wouldn't get the answer he wanted. The third option before he came in was the key. He needed to get something to make big progress with Sister Su!
"Is there anything you want?" Jiang Wengao asked.

"I'm afraid you can't help me with what I need," Su Yue said with a smile.

At this point, a line of text appears when the interface is tapped slightly.

The door opened, the guard came in, and escorted you out.

It's back to a regular text-based game; it seems we've moved beyond the key storyline and entered the normal gameplay phase.

As Jiang Wengao was pondering how to continue the plot, he suddenly felt a dizzying sensation as if mercury had been injected into his body, and his vision quickly went dark as if he were deprived of blood sugar.

In a moment of loss of balance, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be lying down!

"Hey! Get up!"

Someone pushed him hard.

Jiang Wengao opened his eyes and saw Bai He standing silently by the bed, looking at him with a speechless expression: "Didn't you have an alarm? Why didn't you answer the minister's calls? Today isn't a holiday."

I sat up abruptly, picked up my phone, and saw that it was already nine o'clock. I had been absent from work for two hours, and there were two missed calls... from the minister.

"I...I...I overslept."

"Hurry up and go over there. If you keep doing this, you'll suffer. The minister already said that if you lack self-control, you can ask the self-discipline notebook to help you." Baihe pulled down his mask and threw his pants and clothes at him like a nanny.

"I'm going now, don't go back to sleep."

"Oh, oh!" Jiang Wengao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and hurriedly got up and put on his pants.

He felt extremely tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.

When he looked in the mirror, he had no dark circles or bloodshot eyes; apart from his haggard appearance, he looked perfectly healthy. But he was really tired.

...Playing games in your dreams doesn't seem like a real break.

This would shorten the time even further, as he couldn't possibly play games every day without sleeping.

On his way from the dormitory to his department, he bought a cup of coffee. His tired mind was filled with a lot of information. He had a lot of names in his mind, as well as a plot of the underworld that was completely different from his current experience.

Clues... there must be clues here.

The clue to saving the world lies within.

If we don't find it...

Jiang Wengao thought of the consequences mentioned in the game, and the emergence of named and proxy entities became secondary.

The regulatory authority can't prevent the use of names and proxies forever; it can only reduce their frequency. If they do appear, there's nothing that can be done.

What is truly unacceptable is the complete destruction of human society.

Civilization is regressing, and so many people will die.

This feels so unreal.

But it also puts so much pressure on people.

If he had just transmigrated, perhaps he wouldn't be so anxious and uneasy, but now that he has transmigrated and experienced so much, he can no longer say that he has no sense of belonging.

Although the minister is a devil, he is very generous when it comes to treating people to meals, and when working under him and going out on missions, you will always receive special attention if you introduce yourself.

The gazes of others were varied: some disliked, some awed, and some envious. This feeling of being the center of attention greatly satisfied his vanity.

Bai Ge is also great. Although the lower half of Bai Ge's face is a bit scary, he is the most handsome in the department when he wears a mask. He would never have been able to be friends with such a handsome person before.

Moreover, Brother Bai is very reliable, with a kind of cool gentleness. Although he doesn't usually take the initiative to talk to people, when you are feeling down, he will give you just the right amount of attention, often giving you the illusion that he is always watching you.

He would never have had the chance to meet this kind of aloof yet warm-hearted senior colleague in his past life.

And Sister Ke.

Sister Ke has a wide range of interests, and chatting with her in private always reveals a lot of gossip about many people in the department. This accomplice relationship makes it hard for him to comment, but he feels a secret sense of satisfaction.

Sister Su is very pleasing to the eye and is gentle to everyone. I learned a lot about the real entertainment industry from her.

Shou is very strong, but usually he's like a buddy without any special skills. I rarely have time to have fun with Shou, but I feel like I have the best relationship with Shou.

Thinking about it carefully, we probably spend the most time together at work and have the most complaints when working overtime. It's a kind of resonance among fellow office workers.

Moreover, the topics he and Shou Ge talked about were all very ordinary: high school, overtime work, being a corporate slave, retirement life...

This is really strange. How can Brother Shou be so strong? He has a completely different style when he's on a mission and when he's at work.

Although he's called "hidden card" by people outside, he doesn't receive any special treatment within the department. He's treated like dirt, and aside from Fatty who's constantly paying off his debts, Shou is probably the most stubborn member of the department.

By the way, Fatty!
That bastard Fatty tricked him into investing in stocks last time, and he ripped him off several months' salary!
Forget it, stop thinking about it.

Jiang Wengao recalled his companions one by one, and also thought of Mo Ying and Li Ming...

If the end of the world really comes, all sorts of bad things will happen to them. Just thinking about it makes his chest feel like it's being crushed by a heavy stone.
