The Stopped Mystic Moon Plan
Teaser
Ling Chen and Fey had unexpectedly eliminated their greatest worry and threat, but they were unable to relax. This was because from what the Mad Scientist had said, they felt a formless, dark net covering their world. Thinking of the terrifying plan that the Mad Scientist had been carrying out and was about to complete, they could help but feel incredibly shocked. Now that the Mad Scientist was dead, it would be impossible for them to find answers.
“Just what was the goal of the Mad Scientist’s Mystic Moon Plan?”
“Where did the Mad Scientist come from? Who’s the ‘King’ he was talking about?”
“What did he mean by I was the Shura that ‘King’ wanted to create?”
“Why was he calling out ‘Yue’ before he died? Could he have an ally called ‘Yue’ who he was asking for help from?”
Ling Chen and Fey laid out their questions, but they could not think of any answers. However, these questions became hazes that settled in their hearts. Before today, they never thought that their peaceful earth would be in such horrifying danger. If it wasn’t for the Mad Scientist voluntarily appearing in this world, they never would have known the truth behind the Mystic Moon world, and the consequences for earth were too horrible to think about.
“If the Mad Scientist’s really dead, apart from his allies, no one will know the answers to these questions, so we should just let them go… of course, I hope that he didn’t have any allies and that this monstrous plan will fully stop,” Fey said calmly.
“I hope that’s the case. However, this isn’t over: there’s still the Cosmos Corporation,” Ling Chen said.
Fey raised her eyebrows, instantly realising how serious this was. “You mean…?”
“The Mystic Moon world is a real world, and it isn’t a virtual game created by the Cosmos Corporation. The Cosmos Corporation has been controlled by the Mad Scientist this entire time, so now that the Mad Scientist has effectively died, who knows what will happen to the Cosmos Corporation. Once those people regain their consciousness, what they might do is announce to the world the truth behind Mystic Moon… of course, this would be the real ‘truth’, but they will at least say that this was not a game developed and run by them and that they were hijacked by a group of people who wanted to use the game to destroy the earth. One of two things will happen… the whole world will go crazy, or the whole world will think that the Cosmos Corporation has gone crazy.
“As more and more players start to believe this, there will be great upheavals within the game, and the real world might even fall into chaos. The key thing is that the Mad Scientist used the ‘rules’ to make it possible to exchange gold in this world with the world’s currency, and this has been supported by banks across the world. Many players’ entire fortunes are in the Mystic Moon world, so if the Cosmos Corporation reveals the ‘truth’, the whole world might fall into an economic crisis.” As Ling Chen spoke, his frown became deeper and deeper, and he gradually saw more and more how big this problem was.
Ling Chen’s eyes immediately flashed as he thought of something and said in a low voice, “The situation might be even more urgent that we thought. Smith from the Cosmos Corporation wasn’t turned into a puppet, and he was only forced to work for the Mad Scientist!”
