Chapter 21: Actually, You Are the Actor I Sent

There is a saying: Scientific progress cannot happen without sacrifice. Behind every new special medicine, there are countless brave little white mice that have sacrificed themselves for the research to succeed.

[Successfully mastering a common skill, Level 1 True Qi Healing, costs 5 points of True Qi, allowing you to heal 20% of your Life Points based on your root bone attribute within 300 seconds!]

After this information flashed by, Bai Qige finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had longed for this skill for a long time. During his three years in the Middle-earth World, he had faced many challenges, but the one that left the deepest impression on him was meeting an enemy who was skilled in this skill, not knowing what level they had reached. It truly was a nightmare.

A single strike left a deep wound that could be seen to the bone. As a result, the enemy casually wiped it off and healed themselves with True Qi, instantly recovering. Cuts, burns, and piercing traps—no injury could last long on that person, as if they possessed an immortal body.

In the end, Bai Qige did not kill that person. Instead, realizing the situation was dire, he fled a hundred miles to escape the clutches of that immortal nightmare. Since then, Bai Qige has longed for the True Qi Healing skill, but developing it required a lot from True Qi. True Qi must be refined and formed properly, and it must have a balanced and peaceful nature. If the True Qi is extremely powerful or deadly, it would have nothing to do with this skill, as such True Qi cannot resonate with life force, thus losing its healing ability. Furthermore, the True Qi value also needed to be high; otherwise, using it just two times would exhaust all True Qi and be pointless.

Bai Qige currently has 37 points of root bone. According to the data analysis in the Fate Interface Rules, his total Life Points is 370, which is root bone times ten. Spending 5 points of True Qi gives a healing equivalent to one-fifth of root bone, which is about 7.2 Life Points. With 110 True Qi Value, he could almost recover half of his Life Points.

Although the numbers may seem insignificant, they are exceptionally powerful in reality. For example, in a fierce battle, when both sides are on the brink of collapse, and everyone is near death, one side may be rushed to the hospital. An hour and a half later, they recover from a critical state to being able to run and jump, still bearing their injuries and even able to continue fighting at a moderate injury level. This difference already sets the stage for achieving the "Dancing on the Enemies’ Graves" accomplishment.

If not for his strong sense of reason holding him back, Bai Qige would have wanted to pour all his Experience Points into leveling up the True Qi Healing skill to its maximum and experience what it feels like to be indestructible like a cockroach.

After the little white mice’s active contribution, Bai Qige learned the skill of True Qi healing. He did not break his promise and returned to heal the little white mice, at least treating the injuries he caused while learning the skill. Then, Bai Qige’s gaze fell on the person in the room who was most seriously hurt.

It was the unfortunate magician, who was first shot at by Jingxiang’s machine gun and then beaten by a Yellow Turban Warrior-type terminator. In fact, when Bai Qige found out he was still alive and even breathing, he was quite surprised by the magician’s vitality and decided to take him back.

Using Jingxiang’s family background as an excuse, he took him to the hospital for treatment after a car accident. However, after the emergency treatment, the doctors directly said to be prepared mentally because he might not survive the critical period. Bai Qige then brought him back, and now he remained in a faint state.

True Qi entered the magician’s body, activating the True Qi Healing skill. The wounds on the magician’s skin, which had just formed scabs, healed rapidly, as if several weeks of recovery time were compressed into this brief moment. The principle of True Qi healing is the resonance of life force, which strengthens the body’s self-healing ability. The effectiveness of the treatment also depends on the recipient’s own condition. It consumed 30 points of True Qi Value, and Bai Qige hoped to pull him back from the brink of death. At that moment, the magician happened to wake up.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

A strange ceiling and a person dressed in a blue civet cat plush costume confused the magician, who hoarsely asked.

"This is the base of the Rakshasa Sect, and I am Blue Civet Cat Demon Emperor, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the magician instantly became alert and instinctively wanted to leap up, but as soon as that thought turned into a nerve signal, a pain that felt like his body was about to split apart assaulted all his senses.

"You were shot at by a whole magazine from a machine gun and then beaten hard by a terminator. The fact that you didn’t die on the spot means you are lucky. Even the doctors gave up on you. If I hadn’t used my powers to pull you back from the edge of death, you would already be halfway across the River of Three Paths!"

"Why did you save me?"

"Your superpower is interesting. I think you have some value, so I saved you. This favor needs your loyalty in return!"

Bai Qige showed no concealment of his purpose and intentions, while the magician, although severely injured and his life in Bai Qige’s hands, remained defiant and coldly huffed, "You’re dreaming! I am the number one Wise Man of Bloody Earth, and I will never betray the organization!"

"No, no, young man, there are some things you should never say so surely. A good bird chooses a good tree to rest in—this is a famous saying. In fact, I’m not trying to sway you; I’m just offering a helping hand to someone like you, who has nowhere to go!"

"I have nowhere to go? Ridiculous! The purpose of Bloody Earth is to never abandon or give up on any member. We share joys and sorrows and live and die together! Just wait, no matter how strong the Rakshasa Sect is, Bloody Earth will come to rescue me!"

"Ha ha, that’s why, young man, you shouldn’t watch so many Hong Kong gang movies or read gang novels and take them seriously. A few young people’s heads get hot, and they make a vow in front of Brother Guan, light a few cigarettes as offerings, chop up a white-cut chicken, and drink some Erguotou, claiming they will live and die together and create greatness. Do they really think they are the Three Heroes of the Peach Garden and can achieve great things? You think too highly of the son of Mountain Fox, young man; society is very cruel…"

"How do you know all this?" The magician looked panicked. Bai Qige smiled lightly but did not answer. By consuming Ye Xiao’s soul, he gained his memories. Bai Qige not only learned more about the truth behind the world, but he also had a clear understanding of the organization Bloody Earth.

The true face of Bloody Earth is actually a gang in the south of Deep City. They have some power and can get involved in various matters, having a say in many areas. The leader of this gang is known as Boss Shan, or called Mountain Fox. This nickname is simple to explain; his last name is Shan. He is skilled, ruthless, and exceptionally clever, navigating outside the law to earn money without often crossing the official taboo. He knows how to manage things and hides in the shadows, thriving there.

However, to say it clearly, Bloody Earth is not closely related to Mountain Fox. The one who really established the Supernatural Organization Bloody Earth was the boss’s son. He suddenly awakened his superpower and, for reasons unknown, began searching for Psychics, claiming that Psychics are the chosen ones, the divinely blessed, and should rule over ordinary people. Of course, Boss Shan’s son did not forget to declare himself the true emperor sent by heaven, a true king leading a new era, reinforcing his own position.

Boss Shan’s son is the leader himself, with seven Psychics under his command, which he calls the Seven Holy Spirits. A magician is also a member of the Seven Holy Spirits, and he has gathered some gangsters from his father’s group to be the basic muscle. This is the true structure and power of Bloody Earth, so simple and rough that it brings tears to one’s eyes.

To put it in a more classic way, this is a young person with bad intentions, hiding behind the underworld, taking root in the grassroots with an armed cult, waiting for the right moment to overturn the world and sit on the throne as a rebellious traitor. In modern terms, this is like a naive youth from a gangster movie or novel, who has gathered a group of friends, ready to rebel, face the gods, and dominate with his harem.

When Bai Qige learned the true nature of Bloody Earth from Ye Xiao’s memories, his first reaction was a mix of laughter and tears. To him, Bloody Earth felt like a joke that couldn’t last long. He figured it wouldn’t be long before the Yanhuang Meteorological Bureau would take it down, and the reason was simple: as an organization aiming to take over the world with Psychics, their discipline and secrecy were seriously lacking.

Boss Shan’s son publicly declared his ideas to the Seven Holy Spirits as his organization’s culture and told them to keep it secret. That wouldn’t be a problem, but the issue was that the Seven Holy Spirits didn’t take it seriously, or they simply didn’t realize the seriousness of it. In any case, all of the gangsters under them were somewhat aware of what the Seven Holy Spirits were about and what they wanted to do.

As for those gangsters, Boss Shan would definitely have given them orders, but if they had such strict discipline, they wouldn’t be in the gang in the first place. They were just basic muscle who followed the boss’s orders. After a few drinks, they could easily let their guard down.

Anyway, Bai Qige saw in Ye Xiao’s memories that after this guy completed a mission, he went out to drink and celebrate with a few thugs. After having a little to drink, he spilled all sorts of secrets, even using his superpower to perform magic tricks right in front of the girls!

Later on, Bloody Earth became a Supernatural Organization, aiming to rule all of humanity. The leader was Boss Shan’s son, and all the Seven Holy Spirits were Psychics. Surprisingly, even the specifics of what superpowers these seven Psychics had were common knowledge among the lower-ranking gangsters!

This was already quite ridiculous, but what was even more absurd was that Boss Shan’s son knew about this situation and was completely indifferent to it!

When Bai Qige learned this information from Ye Xiao’s memories, he couldn’t understand how the name Yanhuang Meteorological Bureau, renowned in the world of superpowers, how Mountain Fox’s son and the so-called Seven Holy Spirits all knew about it, yet in this situation, they held radical beliefs and naturally stood against the Meteorological Bureau without taking them seriously?!

Come on, that is a sharp weapon created by the country’s violent machine, it can even be described as a bloody slaughter knife from someone who has achieved great military success. Don’t treat them like a neighborhood police officer, okay?

Bai Qige thought and thought, and the only explanation was that Boss Shan’s son was an arrogant fool! In this situation, Bai Qige had already regarded Bloody Earth as a useless fish that could die at any moment, and his first reaction was to see if there was any benefit to gain before Bloody Earth met its end.

Persuading this magician to join the Rakshasa Sect was the first step of Bai Qige’s plan. However, he felt a bit sorry; last time he used Mind Devil Transformation, gathered enough offerings, and then activated Soul Interference, impressing the idea of obedience into everyone’s minds in the area. That was why Ye Daxiong’s parents were extremely obedient to him, even accepting his harsh treatment of Daxiong as normal. But among these people, he had unfortunately overlooked the magician, whom he thought was dead but was still hanging onto life.

Although it was troublesome, Bai Qige still had quite a lot of confidence in persuading the magician. He said, "As someone a bit older than you, I deeply understand that as long as we approach the problem with a sincere and eager heart and communicate the key issues clearly, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved. So please don’t speak so absolutely!"

The magician scoffed and even couldn’t be bothered to respond. Then Bai Qige smiled and said:

"Gu Shigui, a second-year student at Shiya High School. Hmm, that’s a well-known third-rate school; once you get in, you might as well give up on getting into college. Right now, he’s causing trouble at school, thinking he’s clever. He lives three streets away from Shiya High School, his parents are alive, his father is a team leader at some company, and his mother is a housewife…"

"How do you know all this?!" The magician was shocked to hear his true identity completely exposed. Bai Qige’s lips twitched slightly, "If you really wanted this information to stay hidden, it would be better to leave your ID at home rather than carry it in your wallet. A simple search can easily reveal everything using your ID!"

This is what it means to be a senior official in the Supernatural Organization, determined to rule all humanity as the Chosen One. Every time Bai Qige thought about this, he couldn’t help but marvel at how Bloody Earth has managed to last so long, it’s simply a dereliction of duty by the Meteorological Bureau.

"As a child, don’t cause trouble for your family. You wouldn’t want something like a gas explosion, falling meteorites, or a home burglary to happen after this conversation, would you? So, please be sure to accept my invitation and join the Rakshasa Sect!"

"You… scoundrel!" Under the guise of sincere conversation, it was outright hostage intimidation. Gu Shigui wanted to jump up and attack Bai Qige, but his serious injuries held him back.

"Don’t be so excited. Don’t worry, my moral limits are not so low that I would use your parents to threaten you. As an adult in society, I must tell you a truth: before blaming others, you should first look for reasons within yourself. There’s a saying: a fly doesn’t land on an egg without cracks. Let’s not mention that your identity has been exposed and your social connections are in my hands. The key point is that you have already been abandoned by Bloody Earth!"

"How could I be abandoned? The boss swore he would never abandon any brother!"

"Well, fine. I’ll assume the oaths of you little kids after a few drinks are sincere. But the problem is, are you still their brother? Think about it: who made the plan to disable their own skills before facing the Rakshasa Sect? Who got rid of those bottom-level thugs from Bloody Earth? And as an important target of Bloody Earth Organization, who brought down classmate Chu Mushan with just a few cards? Alright, no need to say more. I know you didn’t mean it, but the real question is, how will your boss and other Bloody Earth members see it? No matter how unbelievable it is, after ruling out all impossible options, there is only one truth…"

Bai Qige pointed seriously, "Actually, you are an actor sent by the Rakshasa Sect!"

"Huh?"
