The Heavens: Cthulhu started from Hokage

"What happened?"

Ainz Ooal Gown made a doubtful sound in his heart.

Just now, when Bai Yuan made a noise, he, who was not an NPC, noticed it immediately.

Using a penetrating magic, Ainz Ooal Gown saw the surrounding scene clearly through the straps. What he found in front of him shocked him.

Since entering YGGDRASIL, he has rarely been surprised. Everything in this world seems ordinary to him, an experienced player.

But today, he made an exception.

"Is there a bug?"

Like Bai Yuan, the next thought that came to his mind was that there was a bug in this world.

This kind of weird situation has never been seen by Ainz Ooal Gown after traveling to YGGDRASIL. It did appear when he played this game as a human in his previous life.

But the experience of playing games and actually being in front of him is completely different. Now he seems to be watching a post-modern weird movie.

Ainz Ooal remained silent and did not reveal his identity. Thanks to his quick mind, he immediately made an analysis.

Let’s first call the weird scene in front of us a BUG.

First of all, is the "BUG" a built-in mechanism of this world, or is it caused by the interference of some external forces.

Ainz Ooal Gown prefers the latter. As a phenomenal game with extremely high stability, YGGDRASIL rarely has bugs. Even if there are bugs, they are stuck in the wall at most, and there will not be such outrageous bugs.

So, if the BUG is caused by the interference of some external force, it is likely to be a derivative of some conspiracy. Which force planned this conspiracy, and what is its purpose?

The first person Ainz Ooal Gown put under suspicion was Bai Yuan. He suspected that everything was Bai Yuan's fault.

Ainz's suspicion was not wrong in a sense. All of this was indirectly caused by Bai Yuan, but the problem was that Bai Yuan didn't know what happened now.

Bai Yuan suddenly coughed slightly, startling Ainz Ooal Gown.

"Mr. Momo, stop hiding it. I know you are normal now."

After a brief moment of panic, Ainz Ooal Gown quickly regained his composure.

"Bai Yuan, are you really a player? No! Being able to do all this, you even exceed the category of a player! What exactly are you? A GM?"

GM, meaning game manager, is also the god in the game.

"I'm just an investigator." Bai Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Investigator?" Ainz Ooal Gown looked surprised.

Although he had heard of the profession of investigator, he had never been exposed to it. He had only seen this profession in movies.

An unknown situation occurred, and Ainz Ooal Gown, who was just an otaku gamer in his previous life, panicked.

In the game world, he is an uncontrollable detached person who is superior to NPCs. He is born with both psychological and physical superiority, and thus becomes the forcing king.

In reality, he was just a mortal. Facing Baiyuan, who came from the third dimension like him and was even more mysterious, Ainz's inexperience and immature side of his mind were quickly exposed through his rather panicked actions.

"Investigator, what on earth is it? I've never heard of..."

"As an ordinary person, of course you have never heard of it, but you only need to know that I am here to solve the anomalies in this world, and that is enough."

"Mr. Momo, you don't want to live in a distorted game world, right?" Bai Yuan said lightly.

"Our relationship should be friendly and cooperative, not hostile."

Bai Yuan's words sounded careless, but they also seemed to have deep meaning. Ainz Ooal Gown could only guess that there was another force behind him.

Ainz Ooal Gown was silent. Bai Yuan's appearance disrupted his plan, and all his original action plans were disrupted. He originally wanted to adopt a steady and steady style of play and survive until the end of time, but now it seems that it is not feasible.

Ainz Ooal Gown must reconsider his next plan.

He needs to find a more suitable way.

Seeing Ainz's silence, Bai Yuan did not push him, but just smiled and waited for his answer. He believed that Ainz had no reason to be hostile to him.

After a while, Ainz Ooal Gown raised his head and looked at Baiyuan: "Mr. Baiyuan, since you are not hostile to me, I would like to negotiate a deal with you."

"Oh? What kind of deal?" Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows. Ainz Ooal Gown was really not that simple. He actually came up with a way to negotiate a deal with him.

"Although I don't know the purpose of your coming here, you should also know that there are great variables in this world."

Ainz Ooal Gown looked at Bai Yuan seriously, "In this world, besides you, there may be other players who will hinder my plan. If we can reach an agreement, I will provide you with all help." …”

Ainz could see how powerful and unusual Baiyuan was, so he took the initiative to express his stance, hoping to gain Baiyuan's support.

Cooperation with Bai Yuan was extremely beneficial to him. He noticed that Bai Yuan was not interested in the connection between players and NPCs. Bai Yuan, a mysterious man who claimed to be an investigator, seemed to have a more ambitious mission.

And his goal is to maintain his power in the game world and live peacefully. In other words, his main conflict is between players and powerful NPCs.

There are pros and cons in cooperating with Bai Yuan.

"In short, Mr. Baiyuan, I hope to cooperate with you."

Baiyuan listened to Ainz's words with great interest and did not rush to express his opinion. He knew what Ainz was thinking, and he also knew that Ainz was a smart man, so he was happy to let Ainz continue talking.

Ainz Ooal Gown paused for a few seconds and spoke frankly:

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown. I am a gamer from the outside world. I came to this world unexpectedly, so I actually don't have much ambition. If we reach a cooperation, I will help you Complete the investigation and you keep me safe, isn’t it a win-win?”

At this point, it was superfluous to say anything else. Ainz Ooal Gown looked directly at Bai Yuan with solemn eyes, waiting for his statement.

Bai Yuan chuckled and said:

"Ainz, by ordinary people's standards, you are good enough. You are smart, cautious, and very aware of current affairs. You are a stable partner. I approve of you."

Ainz Ooal Gown breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned in consciousness:

"So, Mr. Baiyuan, what do you want from me now?" Ainz Ooal Gown asked.

"Right now, there doesn't seem to be anything important. Let's first look at why the Forest Wise King has become like this."

Bai Yuan's eyes cast towards the edge of the cliff.

"It should be true that the Forest Wise King liked to eat Dream Leaf Grass before he was deformed. Let's first see what's weird about the so-called Dream Leaf Grass."
