My Doomsday Simulator Game.

Chapter 38 38. Lord of the Curtain
The old man Li Jinjin nodded slowly, "I'm glad you're back."

"How is the investigation going?"

The middle-aged man next to Li Jian passed a list to the old man and said seriously: "The results of the investigation are out. The four people on the mysterious list are all minions of the Divergence. They are the real culprits of the recent serial murders."

"Three of them have been killed by the younger generation who were carrying out the mission in Sheng City, and the remaining one is still on the run."

"The police are helping us tighten the siege. It's only a matter of time before we catch him."

Li Jian was stunned. "So the mysterious man named Shadow Demon is helping us?"

“Hehe…” Li Jinjin laughed, his dry voice coming from his dry Adam’s apple, his cloudy eyes flashing with light, “We are both Protz like Lord Shadow Demon, so it’s not surprising that he shows kindness to us.”

Everyone was shocked, "Is this mysterious person a member of the family?!"

Li Jinjin shook his head, raised his arm tremblingly, opened the book on the table, lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "No, Lord Shadow Demon is not from the Protz family in the world, but from the nobles of the Protz family."

"He is a real shadow of the old days that existed in the history of the disaster."

Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other, and it was obvious that they all knew what this meant.

The origin of disaster items is still unknown, but almost every year some inexplicable disaster items appear around the world.

Some ancient undead mostly come from antique shops. They are the original collectors of disaster items.

Ordinary people can understand the long-lost history of disasters by exploring the remaining consciousness and memories in disaster items, thereby gaining recognition from disaster items and improving their compatibility with them.

Li Jinjin, the first undead of the Protz family in the world, worked as a handyman in an antique shop. By chance, he gained the recognition of the prison warden Dark Soul Rope.

It can be said that the power of the undead in the world comes almost entirely from the archaeology of the history of disasters. The more they know about the history of disasters and the original owners of disaster items, the higher their compatibility with the disaster items will be, and the closer the power they gain will be to the upper limit of the disaster items.

All members of the current Protz family are not strictly related by blood, and even their surnames are different.

They are imitators of the Protz family in the history of the disaster. Through superficial knowledge of the history of the disaster and imitation of behavior and dress, they gain recognition from the Protz disaster items and become undead.

If the mysterious man named Shadow Demon is really a person who has resurrected from the history of disaster, then he must know the history of the Protz family.

Even if one could only glimpse some vague history of the disaster from the mysterious man's few words, it was enough to allow many undead to be promoted on the spot.

Li Jian's eyes gradually became hot and his heartbeat was about to jump out.

He didn't expect that the mysterious person he came into contact with inadvertently turned out to be so powerful.

If Su Hong were present, he really wanted to say that Li Jian was overthinking and that Shadow Demon was just a name he gave because he associated it with the mysterious shadow in Wang Chengzhi's body.

How could he know that this would get him involved with the Protz family.

Li Jinjin took the tea handed over by the junior, moistened his throat, and turned to page 4590 of the book titled "Disaster Order: Corrected Solar Calendar". "Solar Calendar , Source of Disaster History: Knight's Ritual Sword."

"The memories left by the Templar Daniele Padelli in the Knight's Sword mentioned a history that has been destroyed."

"Because he was dissatisfied with the court's suppression of the Protz family, Surya Protz, the fourth-generation warden of the Protz family, came into contact with the dark forces and set off a dark natural disaster."

The old man glanced at everyone, "This lord is known as the Lord of the Veil, the Shadow of Terror, and Shadow Demon was also his title."

Li Jian swallowed, and his excitement was poured with a bucket of cold water.

This mysterious man is indeed from the Protz family, but his origin is a little too scary. The old man covered his chest and coughed, "Let's not talk about the origin of Lord Shadow Demon. With the relationship with the Protz family, he may not have bad intentions towards us. Maybe he wants to use us to accomplish some goals."

Li Jian's heart was shocked. "Grandpa, that shadow attendant mentioned that the shadow demon seems to be still waking up. Could it be that his purpose is to let us help him completely descend into reality?"

The elders pondered, "It's not impossible."

"But if we release this terrifying being...will he really be on our side?"

There was silence at the conference table for a while, and an old man sitting on the chair slowly said: "Master Shadow Demon has the Protz family history and the exact time of the disaster that we need. You should know their importance."

"It is inevitable to come into contact with the shadows, and how to play the game is what we need to consider."

"If Lord Shadow Demon can stand on our side, perhaps we can successfully survive the coming of the apocalypse."

"Grandpa is right." Everyone came to their senses.

"Ahem... Fang Qing is right." The old man Li Jinjin coughed a few times and looked at Li Jian across the table.

"Li Jian, since that master contacted us through you, I think he has been paying attention to you for a long time. You and Qing Zhen return to Sheng City together. If there is any situation, you can contact us through the communicator."

Li Jian took the communicator reluctantly and said, "Yes, Grandpa, I'll trouble Uncle Qingzhen then."

Although he was very reluctant to come into contact with such a terrifying and mysterious existence, both the Shadow Demon himself and the information he controlled were too important to the Protz family and to mankind.

The man named Li Qingzhen walked up to Li Jian and patted him on the shoulder. "Li Jian, as the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, then who will? The key to saving the world is now in your hands."

Li Jian held the communicator tightly, and said with determination, "Uncle, don't worry. I will send the message back even if I die."

……

On the other side, Su Hong, who was fiddling with iron felt in the kitchen, didn't know that the Protz family had held a special meeting for him and even helped him think of the background for the Shadow Demon vest.

Iron felt, electric furnace and hammer were placed on the kitchen stove, and a simple blacksmith shop was completed.

"Already have a blacksmith shop, do you want to start forging?"

"Is this even possible?" Su Hong couldn't help but complain. You know, this furnace runs on electricity, and he didn't even plug it in.

After closing the kitchen doors and windows and making sure they were soundproofed, Su Hong muttered to himself.

"I found a damaged Elite Knight Armor that can be repaired. Please place the repair materials on the chopping board."

He placed several titanium alloy rods and elite knight armor bought online on the kitchen stove.

"I have discovered that you already have a servant named Philip. He can take over the forging task. The experience gained during the forging process will be halved."

Can you still let the servants take over?
Su Hong's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Philip who was hiding in the shadows.

"Philip, it's up to you."

Philip, who was originally walking happily in the shadows, paused.

"Master, leave it to me!" Philip agreed excitedly. He didn't know that it was this takeover that would make him become a slave of a capitalist in the future.
