"What if you lose your life?"

OP: Xenobiotics creatures are dangerous, alien-like monsters in the second world since ancient times. The federal government conceals the existence of xenobiotic creatures from ordinary people. Xenobiotic creatures come in different varieties, and their traces can be found on land and in the ocean. The federal government, along with corporations and research institutes, clears and captures these creatures for research purposes.

The federal government classifies secret cults as illegal religious organizations. The second world prohibits any form of religious beliefs and religious organizations, all of which are considered illegal. Secret organizations believe in "gods," calling Xenobiotics creatures the remnants of ancient gods. Secret cults engage in hidden and cruel religious activities.

The birth of Heterobloods has intricate connections with xenobiotic creatures and secret cults. A special potion called "god blood" can be extracted from the blood of Xenobiotic creatures. Upon consumption, the individual acquires power far beyond that of an ordinary person. Those who obtain super abilities in this way are called Heterobloods. However, there is a price for acquiring this power. Under the erosion of the god blood, Heterobloods gradually lose their sanity and become insane. Their bodies also have a high probability of experiencing mutations, and their ultimate fate may be death.

1F: Holy cow, you're amazing!

2F: Is this what separates players? While some are still struggling with hard labor and working like slaves, you already have access to confidential information that's hard for ordinary people to access.

3F: My goodness, so much information... I need a moment to process it all.

4F: Did I see that correctly? The OP's username is 331? What kind of eerie power does this number have?

5F: The world is too dangerous; I want to return to my hometown! I scream a thousand times daily that I want to quit the game!

Jonathan seemed to have explained a lot, but he only touched upon the surface of things. Xenobiotic creatures, god blood, secret cults, and Heterobloods are all closely connected. If you want to introduce one aspect, you must also introduce the others.

Jonathan mentioned the god blood as one of the three purposes of Xenobiotics creatures, but he glossed over the medical and material science fields with the vague term "research." He also didn't mention the specific forms of cooperation between the federal government and corporate research institutes.

Despite this, this information is already quite valuable for ordinary players, and they need time to digest it.

The second world is not only a highly technologically advanced world but also a world hiding mysterious and unpredictable forces. Players who travel to the Second World mostly only encounter its highly advanced technological side, and they don't clearly understand the hidden side with mysterious and unpredictable forces.

Jonathan's explanation can be said to have completely opened the door to the second world for them, giving them a comprehensive understanding of it.

Jonathan refreshed the thread and saw the number of replies growing rapidly, with updates almost every second. Some people were so shocked that they posted several question marks and exclamation marks in a row.

6F: The OP is such a kind person! The neighboring thread for trading Xenobiotics creatures has been up for a day, but the OP didn't participate in the trade and instead shared the information for free with everyone!

7F: Why is the OP's username 331???

8F: What is the relationship between the OP and Dispossessor 331?!

Other players also noticed Jonathan's username and questions and doubts kept coming. More than a dozen floors were filled with inquiries about the username.

26F: It's just an ordinary number. There are actually many people who use numbers as usernames, and a search online will yield a lot of them. This 331 OP probably has no special connection with Dispossessor 331, as player numbers are random, and it's not necessarily the case that the OP happens to be the 331st person to register for the forum.

27F replying to 26F: That makes sense. The OP probably didn't think much about it when registering, and no one knew that we would all be crossing over. None of us expected to be transported to another world.

28F replying to 26F: Although what you said makes sense, it's still too coincidental. I've been scrolling through the forum all day and now have a conditioned response to the number 331. Whenever I see it, I get chills.

29F replying to 28F: Same here. I have a psychological shadow over this number.

30F replying to 28F: Me too...

31F: I'm with you guys above; you're not alone!

32F: After learning about Dispossessor 331's deeds, the number 331 has become synonymous with evil in my eyes...

The replies were refreshing too quickly.

Some players read the information but did not carefully analyze it with a critical mind. To put it bluntly, their thinking hadn't been fully transformed, and without anyone pointing it out, they didn't realize the significance of the information they received. They even had the mood to discuss and chat about the number 331.

On the other hand, another group of smarter and far-sighted players analyzed Jonathan's explanation word by word. They didn't focus on superficial details; instead, they paid full attention to the content of the first post. Whether the OP who provided the explanation and Dispossessor 331 were related was not the most important thing to them.

The important thing was the information itself! Skipping over the meaningless chat and idle talk, a player posted a relatively long analysis a few minutes later.

69F: First of all, thank you, OP, for the free explanation. However, I have many doubts and speculations in my heart. I would like to share them here in hopes of inspiring further discussion. If the OP could answer my questions, I would be extremely grateful.

 Xenobiotic creatures have existed in the second world since ancient times. How far back do these "ancient times" go? I have some knowledge of the myths and legends of various cultures, and I know that humans often "mythologize" their history. Sometimes, many stories and content from legends can be traced back to corresponding historical events and objects. If Xenobiotic creatures have existed since ancient times, can we find any clues by examining the historical records of the second world? The history of the Federation unifying the globe is less than a hundred years old. If hiding the existence of Xenobiotic creatures is the Federation's policy, did ordinary people know about them before the Federation was established? How did they fight against Xenobiotic creatures?

The OP mentioned that the Federation government, corporations, and research institutes eliminate and study Xenobiotic creatures, which means their combat abilities should not be strong enough to defeat firearms and awakened individuals... However, it is not ruled out that some particularly powerful individuals are among them. What surprises me is that the second world is actually researching Xenobiotic creatures. What are they researching? God blood? Are they also studying something else besides divine blood?

All cult beliefs and activities are illegal, indicating that the Federation government is suppressing secret cults. The birth of Heterobloods should be closely related to secret cults. Does the Federation arrest cultists and Heterobloods? Are they studying Xenobiotics creatures to find a way to counteract god blood, or do they have other goals?

I am very curious about god blood. What is its principle of action and extraction process? Can it be mass-produced? What are the chances and severity of mutations after consuming it? Are there more Heterobloods compared to awakened ones? How do their combat abilities compare?

Clearly, player 69F thought deeply about the content Jonathan posted in just a few minutes, and his speculations were mostly correct and focused on the key points.

Jonathan did not intend to reply to 69F, nor would he reply to anyone in this post.

He had already said what needed to be said and done what he wanted to do. He provided hints, and how others would think or speculate was beyond his concern.

Jonathan could provide some limited explanations, but he would not say too much, as that would expose himself.

With 69F leading the discussion, the number of people analyzing the post in the thread increased noticeably.

72F: Thank you, OP, for the explanation. I also have some doubts and would like to ask, are the real gods worshiped by secret cults? Or are their gods just religious symbols? Could there be a real god in the second world who rules over his or her followers?

73F: Damn, don't scare me. This feels creepy.

74F: With something like crossing over happening, is it strange for there to be gods in the second world?

75F: I've been an atheist all my life, but recent events have shattered my worldview, and my faith is wavering.

76F: Since crossing over, my worldview has been breaking and reassembling daily.

89F: Is the OP there? Have you been paying attention to the regional missions in the California area? Is the crazy cultist who killed his entire family and fled related to the secret cults in the second world? Is the killer a player?

90F replying to 89F: What are you talking about?

91F replying to 90F: Search for news online with keywords like "cult" and "mass murder."

92F: I saw that news. Some photos are circulating online, allegedly taken by a neighbor who entered the house when they saw the door open. They found bodies everywhere and blood drawn in cult symbols, which scared them into calling the police. The killer murdered his parents, wife, and children before running away in the middle of the night. Surveillance cameras captured him, and a wanted notice with a $100,000 reward.

93F: Absolutely inhuman...

94F: If the killer is related to the secret cults of the Second World, aren't players going to investigate just asking for death? Look at the killer's brutality; his combat abilities won't be low, and his mental state is likely unstable. Not everyone has awakened super ability. I've been browsing the forum for a day, and including players from other countries, fewer than five have admitted to awakening super abilities. Some may be faking it for attention, while others might not have spoken up.

95F: It is said that all players in California received a mission alert. I'm also from California and advise everyone not to join in the excitement. What if you lose your life?
