Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"What do you mean?" Bao Yang paused for a second. "You don't want Shen Yu to participate in the National Competition?"

The woman turned her chair, facing the glass behind her, her back to Bao Yang. "Yes, I don't want Shen Yu to participate in this National Competition because the instance for the National Competition is much more troublesome than the one you have, one that many Plum Blossom team members can't clear."

Bao Yang didn't understand what the woman in front of him was talking about, because he knew very well how dangerous the instance was that Shen Yu's entry ticket led to.

To this day, players who have had contact with Outer God proxies have been affected to varying degrees.

In other words, there isn't a single player who hasn't been affected.

Only Xu Tong himself is an anomaly.

Therefore, Bao Yang was very unwilling to let the woman in front of him hand the instance entry ticket to Shen Yu, as it was likely to leave Shen Yu with irreparable problems.

But even so, the woman in front of him still felt that the National Competition instance was more dangerous.

Why is that?

What could be more dangerous than an Outer God proxy?

Could it be…

Bao Yang's pupils dilated slightly. "Could it be…"

The woman waved her hand, interrupting Bao Yang. "In short, as long as you understand my purpose. If Shen Yu is safe and sound during this time, the probability of him being selected to participate in the National Competition instance is very high. That's why I gave the entry ticket to Shen Yu."

"As long as his condition is impaired, the probability of him being selected will be much lower. After all, I don't want to see such a promising young man end up like that."

Jian Dan stood still, calming her emotions, and asked, "Then, what if Shen Yu clears this instance safely?"

The woman glanced back at Bao Yang. "As the number one player in the Plum Blossom Team of the East District Countermeasures Bureau, you have given such a high evaluation of this instance. Do I need to answer this question?

"An instance with a difficulty exceeding normal Hell difficulty, approaching Mutation difficulty, and even with an Outer God proxy lurking within, are you not clear whether Shen Yu can clear it or not?"

Bao Yang was silent for a moment. "I know that although Shen Yu's abilities far exceed those of players of the same level, he is still outmatched in the face of this instance."

"But what if he knows the difficulty of this instance and seeks outside help?"

The woman chuckled.

"Do you think that if Shen Yu comes to you, with your combined abilities, you can clear this instance?"

Bao Yang shook his head, giving a definite answer, "I can't do it."

"That's right," the woman waved her hand. "You are the ace of our East District Countermeasures Bureau. If we send you, you can't clear this instance. Who else can Shen Yu find?

"Perhaps he will go to the other three major districts to invite more top-tier players? They may not necessarily pay attention to Shen Yu."

Hearing the woman's words, Bao Yang understood Shen Yu's current situation.

It seems that this kid is bound to stumble in this instance.

But…

Why do I always have a bad feeling?

「Welcome to the Apocalypse」

「Ten years have passed since the Demon Race's revival and the Demon King's attack on humanity」

「In the past ten years, humanity has launched counterattacks, but with little success. The Demon Race's power is simply too great, to the point where humanity has no way to fight back」

「In ten years, human territory has been reduced bit by bit, and even the royal city has been taken, leaving only the last sanctuary」

「This place is also known as humanity's last line of defense」

「If this line of defense is breached, humanity's existence will be completely erased from this world by the Demon Race, never to exist again」

「You, or rather… you, will act as humanity's last hope, impersonating heroes to save the humans of this world from fire and water!」

「Welcome to… the City of Sanctuary」

Listening to the majestic introduction of the instance, Xu Tong really thought the Earth was about to be destroyed.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw bustling streets and crowded people.

For a moment, Xu Tong thought he had entered the wrong instance.

But soon, the scene in front of him suddenly began to change drastically.

Like the sky falling and the earth collapsing, the whole world was shaking, and the people on the ground were being cut into pieces by blades falling from the sky, losing their human form.

But Xu Tong stood there, feeling nothing.

"Not good!"

An exclamation came from outside the world, "My illusion has no effect on him. How can his mental strength be so strong? Even against the Demon King, I am confident that I can control him for four or five seconds, but in front of this man, my power is useless!"

This is… a human voice?

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow. This voice didn't sound like a normal human at all, but rather like an infant who had just learned human language but whose pronunciation was slurred.

Even though the illusion was shattered, what appeared in front of Xu Tong was a large, dark mass of beasts.

Calling them beasts wasn't entirely accurate. These were humanoid monsters, all baring their teeth, very much in line with Xu Tong's stereotype of the "Demon Race".

And there were quite a few demons around, surrounding Xu Tong layer upon layer, seemingly not giving him a chance to escape.

"Hehehe, is this the legendary hero? If I eat him, how much power will the Demon King reward me with?"

"Based on you? There are too many demons around us who are stronger than you. You'll be lucky to get a strand of hair, let alone eat him? You're thinking too simply."

"Hehe, called a hero, but there's no power in his body at all… Could this be a fake hero?"

The chattering voices poured into Xu Tong's ears. He picked at his ears and asked, "Are you done talking?"

The surrounding demons focused their attention on Xu Tong, only to find that he wasn't panicked at all, and even the expression on his face hadn't changed much.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of us?"

Xu Tong shrugged. "If being afraid of you was useful, then I would be afraid. Unfortunately, even if I'm afraid, it's useless."

As he spoke, he began to rummage through his bag.

"Let's talk about it in the underworld!"

Ceng——

As soon as the words fell, the silver-white blade flashed!

The surrounding demons were instantly cut in half with one slash, and black blood spurted out from their bodies, annihilated in an instant.

Xu Tong blinked his eyes, thinking: I haven't even made a move yet, how did they all fall down?

"What are you doing?"

A cold voice came from behind Xu Tong. Pei Wen Yu shook the blood off Yu Yu Mae, and put it into the bag.

"It's time to find Shen Yu."

Xu Tong: "…"
