As for Prince Dadalia, it's alright. Although it's unclear why he's here, Yin Kong can still accept it for now, since it's his character.

But this [Gin], Yin Kong clearly remembers, wasn't this hard-working person of the distillery only level 15 before? How come he jumped to level 23 after just one night?

More importantly, how did these two end up together?

Yin Kong felt like he had a bunch of question marks in his head right now.

At the same time, he finally discovered that the [Danger of the Netherworld] before him was different from the game, because the monsters he needed to challenge were not fixed, but changed at any time.

After Yin Kong watched as Dada Duck broke his own record by defeating a minotaur-like abyssal monster in 35 seconds, the minotaur in the third difficulty challenge immediately transformed into a new monster resembling a man-eating flower.

At the same time, the Primogem reward he can receive has increased from 625 to 627.

Therefore, the battles in [The Dark Realm] are not illusions, but real, abyssal monsters that are eyeing this world with covetous intent.

By clearing out these powerful monsters on time, Yin Kong not only receives Primal Stone rewards, but is also essentially maintaining the barrier.

Or more accurately, it was because he stabilized the world's boundaries that he was able to obtain additional Primogem rewards.

Chapter 154 The Book of Bewitching Minds

Great! It turns out the cooked Dada Duck didn't fly away; it went to the abyss to help me farm Originium.

What a good partner, truly loyal.

When I draw Master Ke in the future, I will definitely put in a good word for you.

However, when the Abyss was mentioned, Yin Kong immediately asked Maple Leaf and Deer about it, as they had also been invited during the limited-time event.

As a result, both of them said that they only heard the summoning voice, and then when they opened their eyes, they were already in this world, without any memory of being stuck in the abyss.

Could it be that the event was paused halfway through the invitation process, which is why Dada Duck is stuck in the abyss outside the world?

If that's the case, then it's not impossible that Gin, who fell into the abyss rift, would encounter Tartaglia.

Moreover, this would explain why he would see such a bizarre team.

Yin Kong waited patiently for a while and found that the fighting Dada Duck could kill an Abyss Monster about every ten minutes, bringing him a reward of one to three Primal Stones.

This efficiency is naturally much lower than when he's farming and grinding for treasure chests in the game, but the advantage is that he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

As a maniac whose mind is filled with "fighting and having fun," Tartaglia seems to have no idea what rest and recuperation means.

Except for the occasional encounter with a formidable enemy that required more time, he almost never stopped fighting.

However, if Yin Kong remembers correctly, there is actually a difference in the flow rate of time between the abyss and reality.

So, even though he only rested for one night, Daddy Duck may have been "tatak" in the abyss for more than half a month.

It seems that in the future, when encountering limited-time events that allow you to invite characters, it's best to wait until all the mission progress is unlocked before doing them.

Fortunately, it was the young master who was trapped this time. Being trapped in the abyss was probably not torture for him, but rather a great pleasure.

However, if it were Klee or Silly Fou, Yin Kong would probably get up in the middle of the night and slap himself twice.

After unexpectedly acquiring a large amount of raw gems, Yin Kong's gaze quickly fell on Rum, who was completely unaware of everything.

"Is this the second-in-command of the distillery? He's actually risen to a high position in the police force."

Having long since stopped following the main storyline of Detective Conan, Yin Kong was naturally unaware that the second-in-command of the Black Organization's behavior in the anime could only be described in one sentence: "Ororen meets Obsidian Granny"—

His series of utterly disastrous actions would probably make even vodka shake his head and sigh, let alone Gin.

Of course, even if Rum were just a high-ranking officer in the Public Security Bureau, even if he had already become the Superintendent General of Police, Yoon Kong could still sink him into Tokyo Bay at any time if he wanted to.

However, to Yin Kong's slight surprise, the items following Rum were quite similar to Gin's.

They are all objects that appear to lack self-awareness, at least not asking others "Can you see me?", quietly floating behind you.

However, Gin is a cursed sword, while Rum is a book with giant eyes.

Could it also be a four-star magic artifact that can be reforged into a five-star magic artifact?

The moment Yin Kong saw the book, he thought greedily.

Unfortunately, this is clearly not realistic.

Unlike the demon sword [Murakumo-ga], which serves as a weapon, this book with enormous eyes is indeed a true demon:

LV.25 [The Book of Bewilderment].

It was of a very low grade, even lower than the bear in the vodka.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Kong decided not to disturb Rum, who was searching for information, but instead quietly reached out his hands to the book.

Originally, if Yin Kong wanted to touch these demons, he had to first acknowledge their existence.

However, this process is clearly irreversible.

But now, he can "touch" these demons without acknowledging their existence simply by wrapping a layer of rock elemental power around his palm.

However, for demons, this touch might not be so "friendly".

The Book of Bewitching Hearts, which Yin Kong had seized, immediately began to tremble violently, as if trying to break free from his grasp.

It wasn't until Yin Kong frowned slightly and casually conjured a demon-subduing ancient seal, slapping it into the large eye on the cover, that it trembled violently and then became completely docile.

Curious, Yin Kong opened the thick book and saw a very prominent line of text on the first page:

I will always be loyal to the great Lord Karasuma Renya.

Yin Kong frowned slightly, not because the text had any special effects, but because he vaguely felt that the aura emanating from it was somewhat familiar.

For a moment, he couldn't recall where this familiar aura came from.

It's worth mentioning that although it's clear the person who wrote this line put in a lot of effort, and the huge font almost took up the entire first page, that must have happened a long time ago.

The black lettering has faded badly, especially the name 【Karasuma Renya】, which is severely damaged, seemingly symbolizing Rum's wavering loyalty.

Yin Kong turned to the next page and soon discovered that the thick book contained densely packed text, meticulously recording Rum's entire experience and psychological state after acquiring the book.

However, he soon noticed that almost every part involving Karasuma Renya had been heavily marked with corrections and alterations.

Often, entire pages are torn out.

Furthermore, the later the book went on, the more frequently the pages were torn off roughly, while the traces of erasure and corrections became less and less frequent.

Until about twenty years ago, Yin Kong's handwriting was completely unreadable.

"In that case, it's no wonder that Karasuma Renya was willing to make Rum the number two in the organization, and even to some extent, he could give orders on his behalf."

Not only because Rum's father, the previous Rum, had always served by Karasuma Renya's side, but also because everything he saw, heard, thought, and felt would be presented in this Book of Bewitching Minds with unparalleled clarity.

Yin Kong thought for a moment, then concentrated his rock elemental power at his fingertips and wrote on a blank page of the [Book of Bewitching Hearts]:

Sure enough, Rum, who had been deep in thought about the documents, suddenly scratched his bald head and picked up the phone.

Soon, a young and beautiful secretary brought over freshly brewed hot tea.

Practice the Tiger Landing Pose.

After taking a couple of sips of tea, Rum suddenly shuddered, looked around in confusion, and after confirming that no one was around, he knelt down in front of the mirror with a thud and began practicing "Private Marseille".

The effect is so good?

Yin Kong was very surprised. He thought for a moment and slowly wrote down:

I'm sorry, boss, I want to be a good person.

Chapter 155 The dove takes over the magpie's nest

Rum quickly shook his head. How could I have such an absurd idea?

Yin Kong discovered that the words he wrote in the Book of Bewitching Mind with his elemental power were neither permanent nor absolute. Rather, they were more like a way of implanting some kind of idea into Rum's mind.

Just like drinking tea and practicing dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling posture), both lines of text disappeared quickly after Rum achieved them.

As for reforming and becoming a good person, they disappear even faster.

Rum didn't even do anything; he just shook his shiny bald head, and it vanished in an instant, like dew on a windowpane.

Clearly, he would subconsciously do things like drinking tea.

But when Rum tries to practice the Tiger Landing pose, he hesitates.

But if he could find a reason to convince himself, he would probably choose to do it.

However, the idea of ​​being a good person, which is completely contrary to his values ​​and personality, will encounter strong resistance and disappear very quickly.

Of course, there are ways to forcefully reverse the situation, but these would naturally require relatively special methods.

For example, the text written by Karasuma Renya on the first page, even though it has faded significantly, has at least lasted for decades.

At this moment, Yin Kong suddenly realized why the aura emanating from these words felt so familiar to him.

He took out the small fragment of the Shikon Jewel from his backpack.

Before embarking on her adventure to collect the Shikon Jewel fragments, the girl Kagome Higurashi cut the fragment in her hand in half and gave one half to Inu for safekeeping.

In this way, even if she continues to adventure in the Warring States period, it will not affect Yin Kong's efficiency in harvesting Mora and clearing out demons every day.

Besides, this can also be considered a layer of insurance.

If the young boy and girl were to perish, this would at least ensure that the monster who killed them would never obtain the complete Shikon Jewel.

"Sure enough, the aura is almost identical."

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Karasuma Renya not only possesses the scabbard that seals the abyss rift, but also the Shikon Jewel or its fragments?

If so, where did he get it from?

Furthermore, judging from the marks on the Book of Bewitching Hearts, it seems that Karasuma Renya has lost, or for some reason, the power of the Shikon Jewel can no longer be used.

Therefore, the further back in time you read, the fewer marks and corrections are left on the book, and the only way to keep the secret is to tear out entire pages.

As Yin Kong pondered, the fragments of the Shikon Jewel immediately emitted a dim light. He tried using the fragments to trace patterns on the Book of Bewitching Hearts:

I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep.

The color of the text he left behind this time was indeed different from the rock elemental power just now, but it was almost exactly the same as the smears and modifications that were most likely left by Karasuma Renya.

Moreover, the effects are immediate.

Logically speaking, Rum should be filled with doubts at this moment. He is particularly concerned about both the scabbard and the secret of Gin's disappearance. How could he possibly be able to sleep?

But almost immediately after Yin Kong finished writing that sentence, he yawned and fell asleep on his desk less than half a minute later.

If I don't erase this line of text, will this number two in the black organization continue to sleep like this?

If the effect is really that powerful, then Yin Kong might not need to ask the members of the black-clad organization to go diving in Tokyo Bay as originally planned.

While Rum slept, Yin Kong casually flipped back to the parts of the "Book of Bewitching Hearts" that he had quickly skipped.

Karasuma Renya was very cautious, or rather, he was not unaware of the possibility that this "Book of Bewitching Minds" might one day fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, he went to great lengths to erase all information that he believed might reveal his secrets.

In contrast, the mysterious BOSS seems to care far less about information related to the Black Organization, and apart from the parts related to Drug A, there are basically no changes.

Thanks to this, Yin Kong was completely certain that the existence of the Black Organization was indeed tacitly approved by the high-ranking officials of various countries.

The reason, of course, is Karasuma Renya himself, who is currently hiding somewhere.

I won't go into too much detail about the intricate power struggles and exchanges of interests.

In summary, Karasuma Renya used Drug A, the anti-aging pancake, as bait to gain the opportunity for the Black Organization to expand and grow around the world.

Of course, political figures from various countries are no pushovers either. In order to ensure that they are not taken advantage of without any real benefit, they spare no effort to infiltrate the Black Organization.

The research progress of drug A, in particular, has been closely watched by countless eyes both inside and outside the organization.

Yin Kong then reviewed Rum's work history over the years and found that none of these people were good people.

Karasuma Renya was certainly not a law-abiding person. On the surface, he maintained a tacit understanding with various countries, but in reality, the Black Organization had already grown wildly and expanded wildly in various countries and regions, and was already showing signs of becoming too big to be controlled.

Of course, none of the countries are pushovers either.

They have been searching for Karasuma Renya's true identity and the secret of Drug A through various means.

Meanwhile, countless eyes are watching the progress of drug A's research.

Once successful, it would be only natural to discard them after they've served their purpose.

Why am I not surprised at all?
