GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1904: What Is Real?



There were quicker, better, and easier ways to get a class than killing 57 people over a period of seven weeks. She is not like Black Knife either. She is not a sadist, and she doesn't enjoy

killing people.

So whole thing was not enjoyable for her. He can't say she did it for fun. But she did it anyway. It makes her appear to be a lunatic.

Then there is also the fact that she simply unnerves him. It is almost as if she doesn't have emotions. She doesn't get angry, laugh, cry, smile, or grin. Her face is constantly calm, and her eyes are sharp.

Serial killing is not the only thing that doesn't give her pleasure. Practically nothing gives her pleasure. She simply does them for an unknown reason. It appears that she simply does them because she has to.

He mused to himself as he watched the fire, "She is like a robot stuck in a logic loop. She is unfeeling and uncaring, and I don't think it is because of God's Domain."

Someone else cried out in the dark. More people were shouting too. The sounds they made drew his attention. But it didn't seem to have moved Tempest at all.

It had taken him a while to get used to the slaughter they had inflicted on this world. It was mostly the fact that God's Domain is a game that helped him come to terms with the orders of the 9 Crowns.

But Tempest hadn't minded from the start. Black Knife had been excited, but she had just been unfazed. It made him unable to tell what she was thinking or how she felt about things. It was just unnerving.

He was brought out of his thoughts by a question from her. She asked him, "What do you think about this world?"

He replied after a while, "God's Domain is a realistic and interesting game. It is a one of a kind."

She said, "I said world, not game."

He asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"

She replied with another question, "Indeed. What's the difference between the world and God's Domain?"

"I still don't understand."

She asked, "What's the difference between Earth and where we are right now?"

He replied easily, "For one, and probably the most important one, there is no magic on Earth."

She looked up from her book and stared at him with those unmoving eyes of hers. "Don't we already have magic on earth through the Heavenly Corporation?"

"Ahhh." His mouth hung open to say something, but he stopped.

Then he said, "That is different."

She didn't address his rebuttal. She asked again, "What do you think about this world?"

This time, the question was far different from what he thought. It was the same words, but they had a different meaning. The answer to the question didn't come to him easily like before.

He became silent as he considered her words. She didn't appear to be interested in his answer anymore anyway. She had returned to scribbling intensely.

He wanted to answer. Actually, he had a lot to say. He was intelligent enough to understand her ulterior motive when she compared Earth to God's Domain. But he just couldn't accept any possibility that they are similar. The answer is clear. God's Domain is a game while Earth is real.

Again, he is reminded of how she thinks differently from normal people. He can't even begin to comprehend why she would think that God's Domain is real. It just doesn't make sense. They remained in silence until Black Knife returned. He was carrying a large package of loot in a loose bag.

He clapped his hands in glee. "I love this game so much. I think I want to live here forever." Taylor said to him, "You missed two this time."

"Yeah. I became too confident. I didn't get rid of the body fast enough. Someone saw me and screamed. But I bet I will do better next time."

Taylor stretched out his hand and said, "Doesn't matter. You lost the bet. Pay up."

Black Knife grudgingly took out 5 gold coins that he passed on to Taylor. The three of them returned to doing whatever they were doing. The only difference was that the roasting pig was almost done. Tempest used a magic hand to turn it over the fire.

Taylor asked Black Knife, "What do you think about the streaming service that people are asking for?"

Black Knife asked, "What people?"

Taylor replied slightly confused, "Everyone on the internet."

"Ah." Black Knife said in understanding. Then he shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter." His reply made Taylor chuckle, "It is that simple. Their opinion doesn't matter. After all, what are they going to do to the Heavenly Corporation if they don't get their way?"

Black Knife couldn't answer that because he didn't have access to the internet or know about the heavenly cooperation. Fortunately, he didn't need to answer. The question was only rhetorical.

They were about to eat when they saw something fall from the sky. It was large, and it was burning. It was also frozen.

It was a confusing sight. It was the largest and most confusing meteor they had ever seen. The amount of light it was producing turned the night into day.

It was a short day as it flew over their heads and crashed somewhere in the distance. They even saw the light from the explosion from where they were. It was brighter than what it produced earlier. It turned the night into day again.

This time, the light lingered for a long while. It waned slowly over time like the light from the

setting sun.

Black Knife said, "I think there is a city in that direction."

Taylor shook his head. "Oof. Wouldn't want to be those people."

But then he returned to watching the pig. Black Knife also didn't care. He returned to sharpening his knife. Only Tempest was still looking in the direction of where the meteorite

landed.
