The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

The beings of the Abyss were now dressed in ink-black clothes, each face bearing tattoos with the pattern of the Evil God, displaying a terrifying murderous intent despite possessing no Strength.

They had already boarded the vehicles, each holding several handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and other fully equipped weapons, along with excellent bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and all kinds of firearm accessories.

Most importantly, they had several rockets, major weapons of destruction!

"Let's go."

One of the Black Shadows, towering a few heads taller than the others, moved with an aura of death.

"Yes, Venerable One."

This was the leader of the Abyss in the Gate World, a Demon of a Divine order.

"That old cat..." it rasped, "Don't let it escape so easily."

Each Great Escape Game had slightly different rules.

The party being hunted needed to find a way to end the Great Escape Game, whether by gathering items, escaping, or other means.

And their role was to prevent all that.

Because.

The outcome of the Great Escape Game would also affect the next day's City BUFF, it all depended on who could perform better when the Great Escape Game ended.

Additionally.

There was another rule.

If one side completely dominated the other, the Great Escape Game would end entirely, and the losing side would be Sealed! This confrontation that had dragged on for countless ages would also come to an end.

Unfortunately.

So far, neither side had managed to completely end this confrontational game.

After all, no one had managed to wipe out the opposing side completely, as long as even one person from the escaping side survived, the City's Great Escape Game would relentlessly continue day after day.

Of course.

It sneered coldly, currently holding an absolute advantage, that stupid cat had no chance of turning the tables.

"Today is just a warm-up, the most important thing is... this time, both the Heavenly Destiny People and the Venerables have stepped in here."

It narrowed its eyes, a strange smile in its eyes, "Such variables..."

"According to Gate World and Black and White Bear's nature, there will inevitably be other decisive changes."

Being a Divine of the Abyss, a Demon under the Evil God, it seemed even more aware of... changes in the Ancient Gate.

"So, let the slaughter begin."

The faces of those from the Abyss revealed cruel cold smiles as they began to mobilize, wielding various heavy weapons.

...

At this moment.

Su Qi was sitting in... the Black Cat's office, opening up its computer.

"Don't tell, this computer's hard drive is quite large."

"But, it's all stuffed with various files, oh... 90% are games, no issue then."

Su Qi navigated through a myriad of games, which, from their vast number, showed how long Black Cat had been mixing in here.

"Let me see..."

Su Qi examined the core internal files, reviewing a series of current information about the City.

However, when he saw the flickering numbers, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This is..."

To be honest, although it was always jokingly said that this world seemed like a game, in actuality it was still a real, living City.

But.

Now, Su Qi truly saw game data.

"Economy, public welfare, crime, environment, resources..."

All appearing in a very data-driven manner here, with various red numbers like warnings, indicating that the City's data was poor.

And all these branches would converge into one thing.

That was the "World Index."

"It seems, it and the black and white hands on the pocket watch previously are similar in synchrony, positive numbers represent the Present World having the advantage, negative numbers mean the Abyss Power has the advantage." Luo Shenfu was also observing this scene at the moment.

"And now, being completely suppressed in all major data, just maintaining a deficit of over 50,000 isn't too bad," Su Qi muttered to himself.

"Oh, wrong... I missed a zero."

Su Qi raised his eyebrows: "Damn, negative five hundred thousand World Index, that guy... only knows how to play games, just loafing around and waiting for death."

"Hey."

A hoarse voice of Black Cat came through: "I can hear you, you're too loud."

"My comment is something you should feel ashamed of hearing."

"I'm ashamed of nothing!" Black Cat: "I don't understand these things; do you think those Demigods, extraordinary powerhouses understand? They are just muscle-heads, had to learn on the spot when typing, do you think it was easy for me to bring it this far?"

Black Cat bitterly complained.

It didn't want to slack off.

The key was that slacking off was useless, sometimes making command adjustments could backfire, not interfering... could still maintain a decent index.

Of course, the games were indeed fun.

"Sizz!"

Intense sounds of wind and noise also came from Black Cat's end, apparently quite intense.

"Although I gave you the highest command pass, I know you'd be curious," Black Cat seemed to anticipate that Su Qi would look at those things, softly saying, "But just take a look, it's very difficult to change anything now, just prepare well for tomorrow's Great Escape Game."

"Boom!"

Another sound of impact came from there.

"It seems it's started on your side too."

"No big deal, I'm used to it," Black Cat said indifferently: "Since I can't beat them in operation, I can naturally outpace them in running."

Alright, alright.

Saving the city by a curve, huh.

"Let's not talk about it, just take a look at those things for now, this place has long been controlled by the Abyss's operations, it's not that simple."

"Okay." Su Qi agreed outwardly, but after hanging up on Black Cat's side, he narrowed his eyes, looking at the various data above.
