Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

"laugh!"

Bibi Dong was so angry that she burst out laughing: "Ha!? What's going on? Are they really throwing all the problems to the Pope's Palace? A small Soul Douluo slapped our Spirit Hall in the face like this, and they didn't even do anything!?"

The two of them lowered their heads silently, looking at each other, not daring to speak. But in fact... they did think so.

Although Bibi Dong was clearly angry, the assistant officer pulled out a document and said, "Your Holiness, please take a look."

Bibi Dong took the document and saw that it contained a list of people who had died at the hands of the masked killer.

Bibi Dong was just confused at first, but when she saw the message that the assistant officer specially marked after each name, she finally understood.

These people... 90% of them have completely surrendered to her.

In fact, You Chen did not deliberately choose Bibi Dong's people for assassination. In You Chen's eyes, completing the mission was the top priority.

However, people who would come into conflict with him would naturally be more likely to join Bibi Dong's camp.

Bibi Dong did not take the initiative to gather together those who had a hostile relationship with You Chen.

The final result may be related to the current internal factions of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall today is basically divided into the pro-Pope faction, the neutral faction, the worship faction, or the family faction.

Needless to say, the first two are the so-called worshippers, who are the old family forces that have connections with past popes and have gradually integrated into the Spirit Hall.

Because apart from Bibi Dong, the Angel Family has always controlled the position of Pope, and this worship faction is essentially the Angel Family faction.

For example, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Blue Luan Douluo and other worshippers are either the current patriarchs of these worshipper families, or the supreme elders with high status.

This faction, which is linked by blood ties, is quite exclusive.

If we look at the aristocratic families in ancient Chinese history, we will know that these families would often only marry within their own family. Even if they wanted to absorb people from other families into the family, it was often only possible through marriage-in-law. And generally speaking, the status of the outsiders who joined would not be too high.

The heads of these families treated Qian Renxue with the same devotion as their granddaughter or daughter. Naturally, they were full of rejection of the Pope faction represented by Bibi Dong.

Of course, they all believed that the position of Pope would eventually return to Qian Renxue, so the most important thing was to exclude Bibi Dong. Although they didn't like the people sent by the Pope, they would not specifically target them.

In a sense, You Chen can also be considered a member of the worshiper faction.

However, many people were dissatisfied with the fact that an outsider like You Chen served as the teacher of their little princess.

That is why they just let Bibi Dong suppress You Chen.

It is easy to imagine that the first few years of You Chen's rise were exactly the period when Qian Xunji was most optimistic about cultivating You Chen. How could You Chen possibly come into conflict with the people of the Worship Faction?

When Qian Renxue was born and You Chen was assigned as Qian Renxue's teacher, some people were indeed dissatisfied, but...

Judging from the level of protection Qian Daoliu has given to Qian Renxue, this small group of people are the real core of the worshiper faction. Each of them is related to those worshipers. You Chen has no intention of provoking them for the time being. Even if he encounters tasks related to them, he will have to give up one by one.

Given the exclusiveness of the Worshipful Faction, it was basically impossible for those who would come into conflict with You Chen to join the Pope Faction later on.

Factions are often nested in layers. In the Pope's faction, there are also many people who simply choose to join the worshipper faction because it is difficult to make a career, so they choose to be a neutral person who is unlikely to achieve anything. They are more inclined to be the type of worker who does practical things.

Of course, there are also guys who, for the sake of power, completely surrender to Bibi Dong and even become her lackeys like Bai Hu.

Basically, all of You Chen's mission targets have had conflicts with You Chen. Seeing Bibi Dong express her intention to suppress You Chen, they are naturally more likely to develop a preference for Bibi Dong.

On the other hand, Bibi Dong naturally had a better impression of these people after seeing their past experiences of confronting You Chen.

This was essentially a subtle two-way choice. Under this two-way choice, these people eventually became the people closest to Bibi Dong in the Pope's faction.

When the worshippers saw that the masked killer was trying to get close to Bibi Dong's Pope faction, they were naturally very happy and they were probably secretly delighted.

If the masked killer's actions had not damaged the dignity of the Spirit Hall, they would probably have been generous in offering applause and cheering.

Bibi Dong confirmed the reason why the Worship Hall sat on the sidelines and fell into deep thought with a gloomy face.

She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is Wuhun City still in chaos now?"

Then, the assistant gave her the answer she expected.

"No."

The assistant officer also said in confusion: "Although many residents were indeed uneasy at the beginning and asked the executive department about the situation every day, many people were anxious to auction off their homes during that period, and some even left Wuhun City overnight. But...about two months later, everything calmed down, as if nothing had happened..."

Bibi Dong was not at all surprised by the assistant's statement.

Rather, it can be said that this completes another piece of the puzzle of why the Worship Hall is not in action.

The dead were all her Bibi Dong's people, and there wasn't much unrest in Spirit City. Although the Spirit Hall lost a little reputation, it was also Pope Bibi Dong's reputation that was lost! When Qian Renxue takes the throne, they will help Qian Renxue to restore the glory of the Spirit Hall. Wouldn't it be easier to consolidate Qian Renxue's position and consolidate Qian Renxue's foundation as the new Pope in a short period of time! ?

Bibi Dong immediately understood what those old guys were thinking.

She swept her slender index finger across the list of assistants and said, "Are you confused? That's because you don't understand humans well enough! Haven't you noticed that the status and strength of those killed by the killers have basically been rising, but have never dropped! And in this process, although the masked killer is extremely cruel to the target, correspondingly, he does not hurt innocent people at all..."

Yue Guan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said, "That is to say, although these residents seem to be under constant threat of life, in fact, there is no danger at all. In fact, if they stay in Wuhun City, they can even watch those people with higher status than themselves, who were originally high and mighty, constantly fall for free! In this way, they will naturally no longer be afraid and no longer think about leaving!"

Bibi Dong nodded, gradually recalling all the information about the Masked Killer, and analyzed: "That's right. If we count the time a year and a half ago, the Masked Killer has killed Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level since he appeared. Up to now, the weakest target he has killed is at the Soul King level. If he continues to kill higher, I'm afraid Soul Kings won't have to worry about their own safety. Tsk... It's really interesting. Usually only the weak have to worry about their personal safety, but now the stronger the strength, the more they have to worry about their own safety?"

Bibi Dong felt a twisted pleasure from the masked killer's style of reversing the positions of the strong and the weak. Just imagining herself leading such a situation, she was so excited that she wanted to pull the flag! Although there was no flag!

Yue Guan looked at Bibi Dong who was smiling inexplicably, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He thought Bibi Dong was just laughing out of anger, so he lowered his head and asked, "Your Holiness, we are so dull that we can't even catch a small masked killer. We hope for your instructions."

Bibi Dong instantly stopped smiling.

The masked killer's style did make her feel very interesting, but if such an interesting thing happened in her own territory, it would obviously not be so interesting.

Especially, considering her future plans to conquer the continent, she really needs manpower.

The masked killer's reckless style makes it clear that if this problem is not solved, those smart people will soon leave their camp with their sharpness and speed, and by then there will be no one available.

This is something Bibi Dong cannot accept at all.

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "First of all, after all this time, have you confirmed his true identity? Even if he doesn't have a true identity, what about a guess? You can't even have a guess, right? If you couldn't catch that guy before, you can still say that he is really powerful, but if you can't do this kind of thing well, then I have to doubt your ability to do things."

"Yes."

Yue Guan reported: "Based on the existing intelligence, this masked killer is most likely the Skynet's Heavenly Killer who appeared out of nowhere half a year ago! That Heavenly Killer only showed the ability to instantly kill a Soul Douluo, but judging from the performance of the Skynet members, he is definitely a guy who is proficient in various assassin skills. As for the assassination ability shown by the masked killer, I have never seen anyone better than him so far. Moreover, I have fought with him before, and I suspect that the skill that the Heavenly Killer used to instantly kill a Soul Douluo may be the same skill as one of his skills! Most importantly, it is difficult to imagine two killers of this level appearing at the same time in a short period of time. Apart from that Heavenly Killer, I can't think of any other possibility!"

"That is to say..."

Bibi Dong groaned and said, "We cannot rule out the possibility that this assassin was hired by some enemy of the Spirit Hall. Such high-frequency, non-stop assassinations would cost any force a huge price."

Bibi Dong looked at the assistant officer fiercely: "Track down on whether there are any large capital flows in the top forces in Douluo Continent recently."

After giving instructions to the assistants and ordering them to retreat, Bibi Dong looked at Ju Gui and the other two and said calmly, "According to what my assistants just said, including you, there are only five elders who took action. Except for the two elders, Thorny Pig and Snake Spear, who have been away for a long time, what happened to the remaining three elders?"

In the original time and space, there were only nine people in the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall, and one of them was the weak and incompetent wise elder Yu Xiaogang.

Now that You Chen had set an example and failed to become the wise elder, Bibi Dong also knew how much humiliation Yu Xiaogang had suffered when she had forcefully given him the title of "Master". It even became the fuse that led to their parting ways, and she would not give Yu Xiaogang the title of wisdom.

The reason why the Spirit Hall has three more Titled Douluo elders is naturally due to You Chen’s contribution.

Of course, the changes a researcher brings to the world are difficult to detect on an individual basis.

Therefore, these three extra Titled Douluo naturally would not realize that they took off with the help of You Chen's wings. They would only think that it was the result of their own efforts and would not get close to You Chen.

Chapter 114 Mission: Shame Bibi Dong

Faced with Bibi Dong's accusation, Yue Guan could only smile awkwardly.

Of the ten elders in the Elder Hall, Bibi Dong actually controls only Jue and Gui. This is a well-known fact in the top level of power in the Spirit Hall.

The three elders who were willing to take action this time did not do so to protect Bibi Dong's interests. They were simply considering the standpoint of the Spirit Hall and chose to take action in order to maintain the prestige of the Spirit Hall.

However, of course not all elders are so responsible.

Damn it, if I become a Titled Douluo, I still have to work so hard, I can’t just lie down and do whatever I want, then wouldn’t the breakthrough of the Titled Douluo be in vain!? ——Many Titled Douluos have similar thoughts.

Therefore, Titled Douluo often act relatively freely, especially those who act alone, because unless they seek death, almost no one can control them. They are basically unscrupulous and are the existence that the top forces in Douluo Continent are unwilling to provoke easily.

And the "Heaven-level Killer" can be roughly regarded as a lone Douluo. This is why the Star Luo Emperor is so willing to give him face.

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she realized that she had said something stupid.

Emotionally, Bibi Dong wanted to beat to death these elders who did not work for her to vent her anger, but rationally, she knew that she could not do that.

Because this goes against the only ultimate purpose of her current life.

So she had to suppress her violent thoughts.

But it is well known that the more a spring is compressed, the greater the force of its rebound.

The more she suppressed her own nature, the more Bibi Dong fell into madness.

Just like walking on a tightrope, no one knows when the string will break.

She looked at Yue Guan with a trace of confusion in her eyes, which made Yue Guan's scalp numb. He swallowed his saliva quietly and said, "Spread a message to all the elders for me: whoever finally captures the masked killer, I will promise him that he can choose a suitable soul bone from the treasure house of the Spirit Hall. Of course..."

Bibi Dong glanced at Jue Gui and the other two and said, "The same goes for you two."

If you can't persuade them with emotion, you can only appeal to their interests.

……

It is relatively simple to infer the causes from the results.

Bibi Dong can infer the causes based on phenomena, but that doesn’t mean she can think of all the consequences of her actions if she were in You Chen’s shoes.

The same goes for You Chen.

The world is complex, and no one can become Laplace's demon who can calculate everything.

His initial expectation was that the fighting would temporarily cease after the Super Douluo or Bibi Dong herself entered the worship hall.

However, after hunting for half a year, the strongest unit that surrounded him was always just an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Super Douluo level combat power has never appeared.

Of course, when Jue and Gui join forces, their combat power can be considered as that of Super Douluo level.

However, due to lack of manpower, Kikui and the other two had to split the search into two directions in order to expand the search range.

Even if it is comparable to Super Douluo, it is actually still a little lacking.

The biggest reason why they can rival Super Douluo is the martial soul fusion technique "Bipolar Still Field".

However, You Chen already knew this information in advance.

The most important thing is that this martial soul fusion skill is dominated by the slower Yueguan, rather than the agile attack type Guimei.

Once when he was surrounded by these two people at the same time, You Chen took prompt action and used the Soul-Shocking Technique on Yue Guan, which shocked him briefly and created some distance between him and Yue Guan.

Guimei can still catch up with him, but Yueguan's speed is about the same as his. Once he uses his speed advantage to increase the distance between them, the two will not be able to use their soul fusion skills. Then they will not be the Jugui combination, but just two Titled Douluo.

Only Super Douluo can make You Chen truly feel fearful.

So, You Chen began to feel hesitant.

He wondered if a Super Douluo-level warrior had already started an ambush, but in order to prevent him from noticing the trick and to make the final decision, he had not shown up so far.

The continuous killings surrounding Wuhun City have been going on for half a year.

The Spirit Hall was certainly not a lamb to be slaughtered, and naturally changed the way of hunting down the masked killer more than once during this period.

But two problems always lie before them.

One is to search and find the target.

Another is how to arrest or kill the person after finding him.

In the beginning he could only rely on luck and was blind, but then he gradually figured out some of You Chen's action patterns and successfully ambushed him many times.

It is only natural that now that the first problem has been gradually solved, we should start to focus on solving the second problem.

Therefore, from You Chen's perspective, such speculation is reasonable.

It’s not that the Super Douluo won’t take action, they are just waiting for the opportunity.

The choice was once again placed before You Chen.

Should he stop here, or continue to compete with the Spirit Hall in a battle of wits and courage?

As usual, he made a quick decision.

'Don't scare yourself. It's possible that there is something wrong with the Spirit Hall itself. The easiest thing to think of is Bibi Dong's divine test. The original novel does not explain what her divine test was about, nor how Bibi Dong completed it. We only know that after she qualified for the divine test, she dragged on for decades before she began her plan to unify the continent and destroy the Spirit Hall. It's possible that Bibi Dong was restricted by the divine test.'

You Chen decided to sneak into Wuhun City and collect some information carefully.

As the Spirit Hall's investigation becomes more detailed, it becomes increasingly difficult to get in touch with informants, and it is easy to be exposed.

In addition, if his people were killed in the aftermath of the battle between him and the people in the Spirit Hall, it would be too ridiculous. So, taking advantage of the opportunity when a large number of people were rushing out, You Chen let all the beast masters slip out of the Spirit City.

Therefore, You Chen now only takes the opportunity to learn about the situation in Wuhun City through each hunting trip. He roughly knows some general conditions in Wuhun City, but when it comes to details, he is basically blind.

If Grace was still in Wuhun City, it would be much easier.
