Their commission was suspicious.

"But... I'm old."

"It's okay. In the world of dolls, even if you die, you can be resurrected."

“…Alright.” The old man was indeed a little worried as he watched the Cursed Children disappear one by one, but he eventually accepted Chen Luo’s invitation.

After taking care of each other for so long, it's time to separate.

It's impossible to say there wasn't a hint of reluctance.

"See? I told you, moral blackmail is a great way to deal with morally upright people like this." Chen Luo said smugly as he watched the old man disappear into the dark world of bullets.

"...There are only so many good people on this planet, and you've managed to fool them all. Are you even human?" the world consciousness couldn't help but say.

“But these overly kind people will eventually suffer in the ordinary world. Or can you guarantee that he will never be taken advantage of? As long as you guarantee that he will not be bullied within a year, I will immediately bring him out of the puppet world again.” Chen Luo crossed his arms.

"...Never mind, you can take it with you."

Let alone a year, the world consciousness can't even guarantee a month.

The cursed children have all disappeared, and it's time for the old man to return to real life.

But just look at the current social situation where over 80% of players have red names (indicating they are not considered "red-named" players). It's impossible to say that elderly people wouldn't be mistreated after returning to modern society.

After all, throughout history, people with high moral standards have never been able to defeat those who lack morality.

While it's common for good people to suffer in a society, it can't be said to be normal.

At this point, running away with the bucket is the best option.

Chen Luo never considers strength when recruiting people. After all, even if someone is weak, giving them soul materialization and an S-level talent will make them strong or weak.

What are you planning to do next?

“We need to find the Holy Emperor. Although I have convinced everyone in the world to legally recognize the cursed son as a normal person, there still needs to be someone to push for legislation.”

As for whether the Holy Emperor is naive, that is not important.

With enough power, even the most naive ideas can come true!

Who's in favor? Who's against?

Anyone who opposes me will have their head chopped off!

As for why the Holy Emperor was chosen, it was mainly because the Holy Emperor was nearby.

"And after finding the Holy Emperor?"

"Of course I'm going home. Causing trouble is exhausting, you know."

"So you're just leaving like that? Not going to chat with me for the next few hundred years?"

"Hundreds...hundreds of hours won't do. It's better to save your dreams for the night."

Chen Luo is only 17 years old.

Isn't a span of several hundred years a bit too long?

"Then... what if I help you advertise?"

"Advertisement? What advertisement?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"I see your Puppet Paradise is indeed unique; it can mass-produce powerful individuals, and a single shake can produce hundreds of thousands. Young man, are you interested in becoming a global mercenary?"

"World...mercenaries?"

Chapter 1523 Haruhi Suzumiya: Lost on the Yarilo VI and ended up on the Azure Immortal Ship!

"Well... it's not impossible." Back in the bar, after listening to the introduction of the World Consciousness, Chen Luo did not refuse.

The so-called global mercenary refers to someone who acts as a "brick in the world," ready to be deployed wherever needed.

"You might not fully understand the operating logic of the World Consciousness. In fact, if you're a novice World Consciousness and have something urgent to deal with without an agent, you can directly apply to headquarters. Even if the World Consciousness itself, like me, doesn't have any World Currency, it can still receive support for free."

"But if it's a world like mine where nothing unusual happens, but I'm still annoyed by some of the wasteful things in my world, I can't take action because I don't have a proxy."

"Calling in agents from other worlds is reasonable, but it's only suitable for handling problems, not for dealing with things that bother the world's consciousness."

"This is a blank market. In your human terms, it's a blue ocean. There are people doing it, but not many. There are some mercenaries from other worlds, but they charge higher prices and have extremely low trust levels. One wrong move and you could easily let a wolf into your trap. You can kill them later, but a loss is a loss."

"But you're different; you're cheap. And you have a high credit rating."

After all, you already bear the mark of a puppeteer. Instead of trying to cheat, you might as well just rob someone.

No scam can make money as fast as robbing a bank.

Which one do you think is cheaper?

"Ahem. In short, this is a business that won't offend either the agents or the world consciousness. The world consciousness, lacking funds, can apply for subsidies from headquarters, so it doesn't cost anything. Therefore, you can't compete with those agents who are essentially free to the world consciousness."

"But you could take business from those global mercenaries. Well, not exactly steal, because there aren't many in that line of work."

"But what if I steal their business? Won't they come after me for revenge?"

"Don't worry, you could go to a hundred thousand worlds and take on quests and you might not even encounter a single mercenary. How many worlds do you think there are?"

"What if we actually run into them?"

"Don't worry, just make sure each of your puppets bears the mark of a puppeteer, and there won't be any problems. Those who dare to be mercenaries of the world are generally quite knowledgeable. Besides, even if they don't recognize you, can they really come looking for revenge? They won't even be able to get in the door! Of course, this is on the premise that you don't leave the world and head to the Dimensional Sea."

The world is that door; if they can't enter the world, what's the point of seeking revenge?

"If they dare to directly invade this world, even if the world's consciousness doesn't intervene, the agents summoned from other worlds can instantly kill them."

Watching mercenaries is just for fun; to really assess combat strength, you have to look at regular troops.

"Those who become mercenaries in the world are generally from the dimensional sea. They go to the world's gates to collect their pay and solve their problems, only to be kicked back into the dimensional sea by the world's consciousness."

"Some world mercenaries might want to settle in the world without pay, but basically no world consciousness would agree to that."

"From what you're saying... people who travel from within the world to the Dimensional Sea might be very unwelcome by the world's consciousness?" Chen Luo thought of Xiao Jiu, who had always wanted to go to the Dimensional Sea.

Kid, your brother cares about you a lot.

"No, that's not it. If someone went to the Dimensional Sea and then returned to their original world, they would be very popular, and might even become an agent, since they're practically their own child."

"Those who are disliked are the visitors from the dimensional sea who aren't their own."

"So if you have friends planning to go to the Dimensional Sea, remember to tell them the way home. If they can't find their way back to their own world, they might be stuck in the Dimensional Sea forever."

In an ordinary family, a prodigal son who has been away from home for many years would certainly be treated to a feast upon returning home in good fortune.

But if a stranger returns and tries to stay in the house without paying rent, being beaten out with sticks would be the least of their worries.

"I see... Then I have another question, which is about puppeteers. I've seen very few world consciousnesses, and they're all very indifferent, so I can only ask you: are puppeteers very powerful? I mean, the people who are called puppeteers."

If someone uses their profession as a pseudonym and no one objects, it means that person is either really awesome or really good at running away (and didn't get killed).

"It's not a matter of how powerful he is, he's the kind of person... never mind, I don't know, don't ask me anymore, I'm going to advertise for you now, goodbye. I happen to know another unlucky guy who got drawn a post-apocalyptic scenario script just like me. He's also stuck on writing, I'll go ask him for you."

"Hey, don't go..."

Why aren't you leaving? You've killed the conversation.

"Oh, right, remember to carve a doll for me using the World Tree, you promised."

"Okay, I'll talk about it when I've completed my current mission. You have to issue the mission first to complete it, and the World Tree is still a long way from fully growing." Chen Luo waved his hand.

This is what global consciousness demands.

Use the World Tree to sculpt a body for the world's consciousness.

Only world-class artifacts can carry even a tiny bit of the world's consciousness, and although it can only last for a short while (less than 10 years), it's better than nothing.

Using the wood of the World Tree as branches to carve dolls is a more professional approach, and therefore allows them to last much longer.

"Scumbag who won't help his friend if he doesn't have raw gems!"

"I already said, the World Tree has just sprouted, it's still a long way off. Besides, I've already been quite generous by not charging you any wages."

After the world consciousness left, Chen Luo had to start thinking about a question: Could it be that the puppeteers made a living by creating bodies for the world consciousness?

This is quite a sophisticated way to make money.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting." After ending his conversation with the world's consciousness, Chen Luo said to the Holy Emperor before him.

"It's nothing," the Holy Emperor shook his head.

"However, regarding Ms. Tendo Kisara and..."

"Don't worry about that, Mr. Kikunojo Tendo won't die," Chen Luo reassured him.

Because before finding Kikunojo Tendo during the last 10 minutes of the hour he was unable to move, Kikunojo Tendo had asked Chen Luo for several servings of orange juice.

According to Tendo Kisara, killing Tendo Kikunojo and the others only once was far too lenient on them!

Chen Luo thought about it and realized that besides the value of being killed by Tendo Kisara, Tendo Kikunojo could also be used to assist the Holy Emperor in implementing the law.

So Chen Luo handed over several servings of orange juice to Tendo Kisara, and just as Tendo Kisara was about to duel with Tendo Kikunojo, he took the nearby Seitenshi and slipped away.

The conversation with the Holy Emperor went quite smoothly, or rather, Chen Luo was simply telling the Holy Emperor what he wanted to do. Whether the other party was willing to listen or not was not his concern.

Fortunately, although the Holy Emperor himself was somewhat naive, he was indeed kind, so not only did the conversation go smoothly, but they also reached a consensus on their views.

Qualities like naivety and kindness might not be considered advantages when the other party becomes a ruler, but they are definitely advantages when enforcing laws applicable to the cursed child.

Anyone disagree? Those who disagree are all dead.

Chen Luo could tell that the Holy Emperor seemed to have something else he wanted to say to him, but he didn't dare to.

For example, isn't it enough to just let those black-named and purple-named players be kept burning by flames instead of killing them?

For a fleeting moment, Chen Luo almost thought that the Holy Emperor was all bark and no bite.

If we're talking about hell, you're the worst kind of hell.

This suggestion is similar to the idea of ​​"not slaughtering pigs, but cutting off a small piece of meat when you want to eat it, applying medicine to it, and repeating this process for 20 years"!

The Holy Emperor truly didn't know how painful the Soul Fire was, which is why he dared to say such a thing.

"Then I'll trouble you, Holy Emperor, to help resolve the issue regarding the treatment of the other cursed children who are willing to return to the world."

"No problem. But..."

"But what?"

"Your Heavenly Fire Judgment was indeed a righteous act, but... it disrupted the progress of reclaiming the Seven Star Relic. That was a terrifying item capable of summoning Stage 5 Gastrea."

"Oh, you mean that? I know."

"You know?"

“I not only know about the Seven Stars’ relics, but I also know it’s too late; the Seven Stars’ relics have already taken effect. The Phase 5 Gastrea Scorpio will arrive on the battlefield late tonight. But don’t panic, I will send someone to solve this problem,” Chen Luo said.

But that will be 5 hours later, so there's no need to rush.

"But speaking of the Seven Stars' relics, Your Majesty, do you know that these relics were actually obtained by Kikunojo Tendo? And Hiruko Kagetane was actually cooperating with him."

"Using this opportunity, the five Gastrea will launch a surprise attack on Tokyo, and then announce to the outside world that Hiruko Kagetane's daughter, Kohina, is involved in this terrorist activity, hoping to incite people's resentment towards the Cursed Child and hinder the implementation of the Gastrea Law..."

Kisara Tendo is right. Kikunojo Tendo's death only once is indeed a disservice to everyone.

This guy is a ruthless person who almost made Tokyo pay the price to achieve his goal.

"How could this be?" the Holy Emperor exclaimed in disbelief.

Originally, the Holy Emperor thought that Tendo Kikunojo was just a bit stubborn and had a strong aversion to Gastrea and the Cursed Children, but he never expected that Kikunojo could go to this extent.

Ignoring the Emperor's excessive surprise, Chen Luo chose to see the guest out.

Almost simultaneously, just as Chen Luo saw the Holy Emperor off, the No. 2 door next to him, who was standing in front of the No. 1 door, was kicked open, and the door almost hit Chen Luo in the face.

"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!" After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Luo raised the God-Slaying Whip in his hand.

"Hey, wait a minute, cousin, calm down. I have something urgent to say." Haruhi Suzumiya instinctively covered her head.

"what's up?"

"Well... I think I got lost while searching for the star core."

"So, isn't that normal?"

"But what's abnormal is... is there a place called Yaoqing Immortal Boat in Arilo?" Haruhi Suzumiya scratched her head.

"Huh? A celestial vessel? Or the Azure Celestial Vessel?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"This is how it happened..." Haruhi Suzumiya explained.
