Chapter 174

【Su Haoming: I don't understand again...】

【Su Haoming: You mean, after you died, time continued until a year later before reloading again?】

【Bai Zeming: That's right.】

【Su Haoming: Why?】

【Su Haoming: Also, how did you know?】

【Bai Zeming: This has to be said about my second reload.】

【Bai Zeming: This reload was relatively successful; I not only pushed the Holy Grail War to the final battle but also filled up the favorability of Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin】

【Bai Zeming: Especially the latter, which allowed me to obtain a lot of knowledge about the inner world】

【Bai Zeming: It's just a pity that I don't have the talent of a magus; even if I know this knowledge, I can only be an ordinary person.】

【Bai Zeming: But these are not important; what is important is that among this knowledge, there are many conventional rules, similar to the code of conduct for magi, which need to be strictly followed】

【Bai Zeming: One of them involves a forbidden area on the island nation】

【Bai Zeming: I was curious at the time, but didn't have time to investigate, until I was killed by the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and experienced the third reload, I investigated it out of curiosity...】

【Bai Zeming: Then the interesting part comes; I found that the forbidden area is actually just an ordinary city.】

【Bai Zeming: The only thing worth noting is the school in the very center of the forbidden area—Private PK Academy】

【Lin Yu:...】

【All group members:...】

【Su Haoming: I seem to understand】

【Lin Lie: I understand too】

【Xiang Yunye: What do you understand?】

【Xiang Yunye: Why don't I understand?】

【Fan Xian: Me too...】

【Li Shimin: +1】

Private PK Academy, from the anime "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.", compared to the Fate worldview which is already very dangerous, the protagonist of this anime is even more of a heavyweight!

Lin Yu's expression was strange, and he couldn't help but say: "So, your world also stitched in Saiki Kusuo?"

Bai Zeming sighed long and sent a message with a bitter face: "That's right!"

【Fan Xian: What is Saiki Kusuo?】

【Lin Yu: A comedy school anime, the protagonist is an invincible psychic who possesses countless superpowers, including time travel and time reversal】

【Lin Yu: If I remember correctly, in the world of Saiki Kusuo, there exists a super volcano capable of destroying the world.】

【Lin Yu: The protagonist Saiki Kusuo checks it every year, and if he finds he can't solve it, he will reverse time by one year...】

Seeing Lin Yu's explanation, everyone finally realized.

【Xiang Yunye: So you don't have any superpowers at all, it's Saiki Kusuo who reversed time and brought you back to life along the way?】

【Bai Zeming: Sigh...】

【Su Haoming: Can't say that either, Brother Bai at least retained his memory!】

【Lin Yu: Wait, if I remember correctly, what Saiki Kusuo reverses is just the state of the whole earth and humans, and everyone's memory will be retained, at most their cognition is tampered with, and they don't feel that the current time change is strange.】

【Lin Yu: But your world seems a bit different...】

【Bai Zeming: That's right, I think the Saiki Kusuo on my side should have mastered true time reversal.】

【Bai Zeming: Because in the original work, after Saiki Kusuo reverses the world, time still moves forward, but on my side, time has truly returned to a year ago.】

【Bai Zeming: It's just that I don't know the reason, only I retain the memory before time reversal.】

【Bai Zeming: Of course, these are all my guesses; Saiki Kusuo's ability is too abnormal, and he has super mind reading, I don't dare to get close to where he is, so I haven't seen him with my own eyes】

【Bai Zeming: However, I have checked the information about the heroine Teruhashi Kokomi and her celebrity brother, so I can be sure that Saiki Kusuo does exist in this world】

"Hyouka", "Fate", "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K."...

Characters from three anime have appeared in that world, no wonder Bai Zeming calls himself a transmigrator in a comprehensive anime world.

【Bai Zeming: After discovering that I didn't actually have the ability to reload, I broke out in a cold sweat.】

【Bai Zeming: Since then, I finally recognized reality, fled Fuyuki City overnight, and transferred to a remote county high school, which is Kamiyama High School in the anime Hyouka】

【Bai Zeming: But this is just a delaying tactic after all.】

【Bai Zeming: If Saiki Kusuo still can't solve it this year, time will reverse again and send me back to Fuyuki City】

【Fan Xian: Interrupting, I have a point I have to complain about.】

【Fan Xian: Since this Saiki Kusuo you mentioned is so invincible, why can't he solve a volcano?】

【Su Haoming:...】

【Su Haoming: Talking logic with a comedy anime, then why don't you ask why Tom can't catch Jerry?】

【Lin Yu: It's not impossible to explain it forcibly; it's nothing more than doubting his own ability, or not being sure about solving the volcano while protecting all of humanity.】

【Su Haoming: This is not the key, the key is this Holy Grail War, you shouldn't run away, right?】

【Bai Zeming: That's for sure!】

【Bai Zeming: I just checked, there are invitation letters and cross-realm talismans in the group, wait for me to upload files, get points, and then invite you big bosses to come and help!】

After sending this message, Bai Zeming immediately switched to the group file interface and uploaded knowledge about magi impatiently.

At the same time, Lin Yu and the group members finally digested the various information from Bai Zeming and turned their gaze to the other newcomer who had been keeping silent.

【Xiang Yunye: @Ainz, why isn't the newcomer talking?】

【Xiang Yunye: Looking at your name, it looks like a foreigner, you wouldn't be unable to understand, right?】

Ainz's name should have been Ainz Ooal Gown when he joined the group, but Lin Yu was more curious about Bai Zeming at the time, so he used the administrator's permission to change his name in advance, so as not to startle Su Haoming and Lin Lie, who might have watched "Overlord", leading to the guest taking over the host's role and disrupting the order of the two's self-introductions.

Seeing Xiang Yunye's message, Lin Yu replied: "Don't worry, he can understand; the chat group comes with translation, let alone Chinese, even the common language of the continent on my side can be converted into the group member's mother tongue."

Xiang Yunye was surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Looking at the scrolling messages in the group chat, Ainz, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't help but hesitate.

After a moment of silence, he finally made a decision and sent the first message slowly.

【Ainz: Hello everyone.】

【Su Haoming: Finally bubbled up!】

【Su Haoming: We have all introduced ourselves just now, why don't you introduce yourself too!】

Ainz pondered for a moment and replied: "My name is Ainz, from the Kingdom of Re-Estize, I am a mage with some achievements."

Seeing this sentence, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and replied with interest: "Is that so?"

After speaking, before Ainz could reply, Lin Yu continued to send a message: "No need to be so cautious!"

"From the conversation just now, you should realize it, right? Everyone in the group is a transmigrator from some fantasy work, do you think you can be an exception?"

Ainz was slightly startled, then his heart sank, and he probed: "What does your excellency mean?"

【Lin Yu: Remind you, as an administrator, I can see your full name.】

【Lin Yu: Ainz Ooal Gown, this name is not as unknown as little brother Bai just now.】

【Lin Yu: If you don't believe it, ask everyone in the group, maybe they also know your name!】

The message had just been sent, and messages emerged one after another like a screen refresh.

【Su Haoming:!!!】

【Bai Zeming: What?!】

【Bai Zeming: Are you really the Bone King?!】

【Xiang Yunye: What Bone King?】

【Bai Zeming: It's the protagonist of the anime "Overlord", the ruler of Nazarick Underground Tomb, the max-level Undead King!】

【Bai Zeming: As far as I know, he transmigrated to another world with his game character and the entire guild's wealth...】

Bai Zeming was still introducing Ainz in the group, while Ainz was already experiencing stormy waves in his heart.

He looked at the chat group in shock and disbelief, never expecting that there was really someone in the group who knew his identity, and even spoke of his various deeds before and after transmigration.

Could it be that he is really a character in some fantasy work?

Ainz stared fixedly at the word 【Overlord】; this was his racial job class 【Death Ruler】, never expecting it to be the name of the fantasy work he was in.

【Lin Yu: @Ainz, do you understand now?】

【Lin Yu: If you are willing, I can upload the original novel so you can get a glimpse of your future destiny.】

【Lin Yu: The only problem is... do you want to see it?】

Ainz fell silent, his mood surging like waves.

After thinking for a while, he typed a word slowly: "Want."

【Lin Yu: Very good.】

【Administrator 'Lin Yu' has uploaded group file "Overlord"】

Ainz immediately chose to download, and other group members who were curious also did the same.

The entire chat group fell silent, until half an hour later, Ainz came to his senses and looked at the chat group with a complex mood.

【Ainz: Is this really me?】

【Lin Yu: What are you referring to?】

【Ainz: The Ainz in the novel.】

【Lin Yu: The Holy Kingdom arc?】

Ainz fell silent and didn't reply.

He had transmigrated not long ago and had not yet lost his humanity, and in essence, he was a quite tolerant and kind person. Regarding the various shocking anti-human atrocities in the Holy Kingdom arc, he also felt quite uncomfortable at this moment.

【Lin Yu: Don't want to answer?】

【Lin Yu: Very good, this shows that you at least retain your humanity for now.】

【Lin Yu: As for your question, let's put it aside for now; let's talk about another question—since joining the chat group, has your Forced Calm appeared again?】

"..."

Ainz was slightly startled, then suddenly reacted, and stormy waves surged in his heart.

Yes, from the moment he accepted the invitation, his emotions had been fluctuating.

Whether it was the shock of his identity being revealed or the complex feelings when seeing the content of the novel, they all far exceeded the emotional threshold, and Forced Calm actually didn't appear from beginning to end...

What is going on?!
