Global Survival: I Got the D-Rank Personnel Simulator

The Alienated Body beside Lin Ye disintegrated into a swarm of Small Parasitic Worms. These parasitic worms burrowed into the ground and spread throughout the entire cult headquarters.

Relying solely on these parasitic worms, of course, couldn’t rapidly overrun the entire cult headquarters. But with the Leader acting as an inside traitor, the whole headquarters quickly became part of the Parasitism Network.

After all, aside from a few informed individuals, all the remaining followers were sacrificial offerings to the evil deity. In the cult headquarters, how could the Leader lack the means to swiftly dispose of all the followers?

Those followers soon integrated into the mental defense system. Lin Ye controlled them all, ordering them to gather in the courtyard. The center of the courtyard split apart to both sides, and a portal rose from beneath the ground to the surface.

“This is the portal leading to the deity. Is there anything else you require?”

The Leader fixed its gaze on Lin Ye. Even now, it couldn’t be certain whether Lin Ye would truly help this Plane. But it had no choice but to gamble.

“How long can the portal remain active once opened? I want to send someone over first to take a look.”

The Parasitism Network was powerful, but it had a glaring weakness: it required sufficient materials and time to deploy.

Without preparation on the other side, Lin Ye could only rely on the Alienated Body’s combat strength.

“You’re underestimating us a bit. I’ve been here for centuries. During those centuries, we’ve been preparing for this future day. A mere portal? You can keep it open as long as you like.”The Leader wasn’t in a rush to activate the portal. It was waiting for Lin Ye’s command.

It wasn’t anxious at all. When facing an existence as unreasonable as a deity, anxiety was the last emotion one should harbor.

“Oh? So there should be plenty of spiritual energy reserves here. What about flesh reserves?”

Lin Ye rarely encountered situations backed by such a powerful organization, so he hadn’t initially thought to make these requests.

“Of course. This is the cult headquarters after all. Our reserves will surely satisfy you.”

The Leader smiled and issued orders. Not long after, a combat squad delivered those stored items to the center of the courtyard.

This combat squad was clearly different from the ordinary followers. Seeing the portal in the center of the courtyard, they all showed excited expressions.

“These are flesh vessels, storing a large amount of high-tier Active Flesh. And these are specially crafted spiritual energy crystals, each containing enough compressed spiritual energy to fill a ninth-tier spiritual energy user.”

These were all research products from the Research Institute. The Leader hadn’t wasted the time bought by those followers, because every life had value, regardless of good or evil.

“Excellent. With these things, the probability of success can be greatly increased.”

Lin Ye didn’t act immediately. He was attempting to connect to the divine seat. This time, he might be facing a true deity, so he wanted to seek some advice first.

“You look quite cute like this.”

Before Lin Ye could connect to the divine seat, Little Red appeared inside the red wooden chest. In front of her, a Little Guardian had also materialized.

“This is the mental defense system. The image was preset earlier.”

Little Guardian was about the same height as Little Red. This was the first time Lin Ye had looked Little Red in the eye from this angle.

“This is your personal mental defense system. If you hated this image, it wouldn’t appear before you.”

Little Red leaned back, sitting on a small divine seat. She looked at Lin Ye with a somewhat displeased expression.

“Am I not supposed to disturb you? Things must be pretty troublesome over there, right?”

Earlier, during Lin Ye’s advancement, the divine seat had suddenly appeared behind him. Little Red had been sitting on it at the time, helping him solve the problem.

“Oh, you’re still thinking about that? That was actually a necessary negotiation. Don’t dwell on it too much. It was like playing Dou Dizhu—I played a single Two, It played a small Joker. It had no intention of dragging you over right then, and I wouldn’t fall into the Abyss just by sitting on the divine seat. But I must remind you of one thing: It knows me very well. To It, I have no hidden cards at all. If you’re in the same boat, then we’d better just surrender directly.”

Little Red leaned back on the divine seat, speaking very casually.

“It’s not about that? Then why are you displeased?”

Lin Ye certainly planned to prepare trump cards, but he was still too weak now, far from matching a deity.

This seemed like a decent opportunity.

That was also the deeper reason Lin Ye was willing to deal with the evil deity’s problem.

“You’ve come to such an interesting Plane and didn’t even think to call me over? That’s what makes me very displeased.”

A dining table appeared before Little Red, covered in the dishes Lin Ye had eaten before.

“You like this place’s food too?”

Lin Ye sat down beside Little Red, picked up a dish, and tasted it.

“Mm. This is the final obsession of a deity. In the last moment of Its life, It just wanted to eat some nostalgic delicacies. Unfortunately, that wish will never be fulfilled.”

Little Red showed a somewhat sad expression.

“Is It an acquaintance of yours?”

This was a bit different from what Lin Ye had imagined. He had thought the being on the other side of the portal was an injured deity, absorbing offerings in preparation for resurrection.

“Probably not. To be honest, I don’t have any memories of the past. I’m just a little sad because we’re the same kind.”

Little Red, even while feeling sad, happily ate the Dessert.

“Do you have my memories?”

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment but finally asked the question.

“No. I wouldn’t stoop to that. But I did learn some information about you through the system. I hope you don’t mind.”

Little Red answered very frankly.

“You can just ask me directly. That would be easier.”

Lin Ye relaxed a little. If Little Red possessed his memories, he would feel uncomfortable.

“No need to worry about that. I have certain system permissions, and my connection with you is very close, so getting information about you is free of charge.”

Little Red said casually.

“You have system permissions too?”

Lin Ye didn’t really want to know too much about the system. But since Little Red wasn’t hiding it, it probably wasn’t a big deal.

“…Right, are you really going to deal with that corpse? That thing isn’t easy to handle.”

Little Red nonchalantly changed the subject.

Well, it seemed like it was a big deal after all.

“Can you tell me the specifics? I don’t want to give up this opportunity.”

Lin Ye didn’t think a deity would misspeak. This was likely a reminder that couldn’t be said too explicitly.

“With your current strength, you really shouldn’t be touching that corpse. I can only say that the situation over there is extremely troublesome, and you have to maintain your current state to have any chance of solving the problem. If this wooden chest gets destroyed, or if your Alienated Body comes into contact with the chest, that corpse will be alerted. After all, this is that corpse’s territory, and you are also a deity. At that point, you’ll have no choice but to seek help from a certain deity.”

For them, that was not a good idea.
