Godslayer: God of the Sequence, Starting Guide to Conquering Lin Qiye

Inside the PS5 booth, the three of them stared at each other awkwardly for several seconds.

Yang Gao felt uneasy under the intense gazes of the two men.

—What's wrong with this? There wasn't this kind of scene in the original work where someone puts pressure on you without saying anything!

"Uh..." Yang Gao decided to break the deadlock. Since the other party wasn't taking the initiative, he would take the initiative himself. Taking the initiative wouldn't hurt him.

Anyway, we've already gained experience in proactively breaking the deadlock.

What do you mean by looking at me?

"Is there something wrong with me?" Yang Gao had already prepared his explanation. "Could it be that the monster from last night had some kind of curse or virus?"

I'm infected?

Am I about to become the bio-matrix?

Am I going to die?

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangnan frowned, thinking to himself: This young man's thought process is quite peculiar, influenced by movies and TV shows.

Hongying was straightforward by nature. When she saw Yang Gao getting nervous, she felt that it was unreasonable to use psychological pressure on a high school student.

She walked past Wu Xiangnan and said, "No, don't overthink it."

“We meant no harm, it’s just that…”

Before Hongying could finish speaking, Wu Xiangnan felt that it was more reliable for him, as the vice-captain, to say some official things. He said, "The purpose of our visit is to invite you to join us."

Yang Gao put down his water glass, his eyes conveying a bewildered look. "Is it the... shore guard that Zhao Kongcheng mentioned yesterday?"

“They are the Night Watchmen!” Hongying corrected.

"What exactly does it do?"

What kind of special operations team is similar to the one in Ultraman?

"The Chinese Dragon Group?" Yang Gao made an expectant expression. Although there was an element of acting involved, he was genuinely looking forward to joining the Night Watch.

Wu Xiangnan's eye twitched slightly: This young man has watched quite a few tokusatsu films.

“Similar, I guess.” Wu Xiangnan thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a better or more concise description. “We can be considered soldiers, existing to deal with the ‘mystery’ and protect the people of Great Xia.”

"'Mysterious'? That monster last night?" Yang Gao blinked, feeling the thirst for knowledge bursting forth in his eyes.

“That’s right, but ‘mysterious’ is a general term. The one you met last night was called the Ghost-Faced Man,” Wu Xiangnan explained.

He had sensed Yang Gao's curiosity about the unknown, and he felt quite confident about recruiting Yang Gao.

What teenager doesn't have this yearning for superpowers, monsters, and saving the world?

Wu Xiangnan felt that he had grasped the point that could move Yang Gao.

"...It must be very dangerous." Yang Gao changed the subject, leaning back as if deep in thought.

From the moment they met at the school gate until now, Wu Xiangnan knew that Yang Gao was a smart kid, and he couldn't bring himself to deceive him. He cleared his throat and said, "Danger is definitely a given."

But just like soldiers, police officers, medical personnel, and firefighters, every profession has its own mission.

Wu Xiangnan was serious. He stared at Yang Gao, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to persuade him further.

The Night's Watch has a consistently high mortality rate, but they are all driven by their beliefs.

Protect the Great Xia, fight against the mist and mythical creatures, and ensure the livelihood of the people...

At this moment, Hongying took out her Night Watchman medal, about to slam it on the table, ready to reveal the words on the back to give Yang Gao a shock.

"Can you tell me..." Yang Gao interrupted the spellcasting abruptly, looking solemnly and sincerely at Hong Ying and Wu Xiangnan, "the truth of this world?"

“Dense fog, ‘mystery,’ the night watchman, and what happened to me last night.”

Yang Gao knew very well that sincerity was his only sure-fire weapon.

The persona he wanted to establish in Squad 136 was: a sincere, intelligent, and passionate new member.

“I’m actually inclined to join you, but I also want to know what’s going on here.” Yang Gao finished speaking, and his sincere smile touched Hong Ying.

She felt much more favorably toward the smiling, intelligent, and sincere young man in front of her.

Wu Xiangnan was also affected. He said in a deep voice, "This all started a hundred years ago. Be prepared."

Get ready for the other side of the world.

Yang Gao adjusted his posture and straightened his back. Having read the original work, he knew what Wu Xiangnan was going to say, but reading the original work and hearing it with one's own ears were two different things.

Sound has a certain magic that can make people feel as if they are there, and feel a greater sense of awe.

Wu Xiangnan began his story in 1922, when the fog swept the globe, and then recounted the establishment of the Night Watch, the detection of the first god, the Chaos Dragon Leviathan...

About 40 minutes later, Wu Xiangnan finished recounting the background of the Godslayer world in great detail.

Wu Xiangnan's mouth was dry from talking. After he finished explaining the power system division of the Forbidden Ruins, the Divine Ruins, and the God-Slaying World, he finally couldn't help but stop to drink water.

Yang Gao responded thoughtfully, "Cup, pool, river, sea, boundless..."

"What level of cultivation did the masked man reach last night?" he asked.

Hongying answered: "The realm of the cup."

"So, what realm should I be in now, having been granted the Divine Ruins by the gods?" Yang Gao continued to ask.

Last night, he had already planned out the key lines for his first conversation with Squad 136. No matter who came to recruit him, he would ask these questions.

After all, as a newcomer who has just learned about the other side of the world, he certainly needs to be concerned about his own strength.

Yang Gao sighed inwardly. This conversation was coming to an end, and his acting part was almost over. To be honest, acting all the time was giving him a bit of a headache.

"Release your spiritual power, let me take a look." Wu Xiangnan put down her water glass.

Yang Gao nodded, and then released his spiritual power at the peak of the "Zhan" realm.

“Peak of the ‘Zhan’ Realm,” Wu Xiangnan replied, while at the same time, he also sensed the fluctuations of Yang Gao’s Divine Ruins.

A sense of emptiness and decay overwhelmed Wu Xiangnan's senses, and a feeling of life withering away filled him with despair.

Wu Xiangnan frowned. Who exactly was the deity that Yang Gao was acting as an agent for? Could it be the authority over death?

But it doesn't quite seem like it. He's all too familiar with death, after all, he's an immortal swordsman who has "died" many times and been resurrected many times.

Yang Gao's divine ruins fluctuations are more like decay, decline, and despair than the cold, indifferent obliteration of death.

Moreover, the city and giant phantoms reflected in the sky last night were not recorded.

All of this is sufficient to prove that the deity represented by Yang Gao is an unknown deity.

Wu Xiangnan sighed. The Night Watch's overall attitude towards the agents of the gods was to win them over.

However, there are too many evil gods in the world of Godslayer, and their goal is to infiltrate and destroy Great Xia.

Moreover, according to known patterns, when the gods bestow divine ruins, they will assign tasks to their agents.

It's similar to an agent working for a god, in which the god bestows divine power upon the agent.

As Chen Muyi told him at the camp, they were all afraid that some unknown god had assigned Yang Gao some world-destroying mission...

A jumble of thoughts swirled in Wu Xiangnan's mind. He didn't know how the Night Watch would treat Yang Gao if it really was a mission to destroy the world.

Kill?

Wu Xiangnan felt that the night watchman couldn't do it.

"Now that you know about the Forbidden Ruins and the Divine Ruins, I need you to give me some answers." Hongying asked the question that Wu Xiangnan wanted to ask first.

"What answer?" Yang Gao asked with a puzzled expression, but in his heart he was already thinking: I'm finally going to ask this question.

"What was the identity of that unknown deity during last night's strange phenomenon, and what task did He give you?" Hongying continued to ask.

Yang Gao smiled slightly and blurted out the answer he had prepared, "I can sense that He calls himself the God of the Lost City."

My task is to protect someone.

The God of the Lost City never gave him any tasks; this was fabricated by Yang Gaochun.

In order to bind himself to Lin Qiye, he fabricated a mission to protect him. This way, he would have a legitimate reason to team up with Lin Qiye and stay together.

—That's a brilliant reason.

Yang Gao felt a little smug.

“God of the Lost City…” Hongying repeated.

"Protect whom!" Wu Xiangnan frowned, instinctively believing Yang Gao's words. After all, how could such a sincere young man lie to him at a time like this?

"I can't say right now, but I promise I will tell you the truth when the time is right," Yang Gao said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Lin Qiye had just rejected Zhao Kongcheng's offer of a hand, and Yang Gao felt it was too early to reveal his name upon their first meeting.

His plan was revealed during the battle against the Ghost King.

Furthermore, given Wu Xiangnan and Chen Muye's intelligence, they must have more or less guessed who he was trying to protect.

Most importantly, he is now telling Squad 136 about this mission, which also foreshadows his "selfless" protection of Lin Qiye in the battle against Ghost King.

"Okay, as long as it's not something like the end of the world, there shouldn't be any major problems." Wu Xiangnan had a pretty good feeling that the person Yang Gao was talking about was another young man who had been granted the Divine Ruins last night.

How's it going with Lao Zhao? Convincing a teenager shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yang Gao suddenly stood up, his eyes resolute, and said to Wu Xiangnan, "Vice Captain, I am willing to join the Night Watch."

Hongying and Wu Xiangnan were both bewildered by Yang Gao, but upon hearing his words, they both smiled with satisfaction.

Wu Xiangnan thought: Convincing a high school student is as easy as having hands, isn't it?

“Alright. Then, on behalf of the Night Watch and the 136th Squad stationed in Cangnan, I would like to extend my welcome to you.” Wu Xiangnan couldn’t contain his joy.

Yang Gao nodded; his plan to join the Night's Watch had been successfully completed.

The three exchanged contact information, and Wu Xiangnan drove Yang Gao home.

Yang Gao watched Wu Xiangnan's car disappear around the street corner from the doorway. He smiled, looked up at the moon, and muttered to himself, "Next up is the battle against the Ghost Face King."

I'm already starting to look forward to it.
