205: Is she the little monster?

"Battle Royale?"

"Simulated Secret Realm!?"

Qin Yang was stunned, and his mind instantly became clear.

Right!

No wonder the Imperial Guards had never found the sacrificial grounds.

It turns out the sacrifices were taking place in a Simulated Secret Realm!

Most people are familiar with the rules of Battle Royale.

It involves a certain number of participants engaging in a life-or-death free-for-all in a designated battle zone, with only the final victor receiving a reward.

Doesn't this perfectly 'cage' all the Professionals?

And this Simulated Secret Realm thing is very similar to Qin Yang's Asura World.

It's a temporary space created by a Formation, and the Professional controlling the Formation can make minor modifications to this temporary space.

For example, by changing the area of the space; if the area is continuously reduced, it can achieve the effect of 'shrinking the circle'.

There was just one more thing Qin Yang couldn't figure out.

As the Battle Royale game progresses,

The number of Professionals remaining on the field would definitely decrease.

Could this really achieve the effect of a sacrifice?

Was the sacrifice made at the very beginning?

Or did dying in the Simulated Secret Realm count as completing the sacrifice?

Alternatively, like the Cangxuan Immortal Sect, would those defeated in the Secret Realm be teleported to another space?

That's possible; it could be done with a small item.

However, Qin Yang had an even bolder guess in his mind.

That wasn't some Simulated Secret Realm.

It was a true Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang felt himself getting closer to the truth, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Kai asked, "Young Master Qin, what are you smiling about?"

Qin Yang came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Battle Royale, it's quite entertaining."

Wang Kai excitedly said, "Isn't it! If I wasn't looking for the Throne of Bones, I'd really want to watch the whole match while eating barbecue."

Qin Yang nodded.

To be honest, Battle Royale was indeed much more interesting than 3V3 combat.

Dozens of teams fighting in one area.

The battlefield gradually shrinking, the battle becoming more intense.

The final winner was either overwhelmingly strong or an old schemer.

If the Pope wasn't causing trouble, Qin Yang would also want to properly watch this match.

Unfortunately, this year's Professional League was not simple in many respects.

Qin Yang looked at Wang Kai and asked with a smile, "Fatty, do you think there's a possibility that this Simulated Secret Realm is the Throne of Bones?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Wang Kai was immediately stunned on the spot, unable to process it for a long time.

This guess was indeed very bold.

Qin Yang thought this way,

Half was based purely on intuition.

Half was based on common sense.

A simulated space requires multiple people to operate the Formation to unfold.

If even one person has a problem, the Secret Realm will break, and everything within it will be interrupted.

Given the Pope's cautious personality, he wouldn't do something so risky.

Only by bringing people into a true Secret Realm could he completely control the Professionals.

And Qin Yang had searched for so long without finding any trace of the Throne of Bones.

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

One, the Throne of Bones simply didn't exist, so no one knew about it.

Two, the Throne of Bones did exist, but it was disguised as something else, known only to a very small number of people, such as the publicly announced simulated space.

Qin Yang leaned towards the second possibility.

The Pope's Holy Light skill could easily control the Necromancer.

And the Throne of Bones also had the ability to collect Souls.

Isn't this the perfect place for a sacrifice?

Moreover, deploying a Necromancer's Domain in the Holy City was a blasphemy against Holy Light.

This blasphemy was also part of the Pope's summoning of the Evil God.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang asked Wang Kai, "Do you know who is hosting this Simulated Secret Realm?"

Wang Kai nodded and said, "The event schedule says it's provided by the Child Family. Unfolding a Simulated Secret Realm requires a large amount of energy crystals, and only their Family has the capability."

"Got it."

Qin Yang nodded silently and said in his mind, "Assign an Imperial Guard to investigate the Child Family."

The events were becoming clearer.

The Free Federation and the Child Family,

Both were troublemakers who loved to see the world in chaos.

This time, with both of them fanning the flames in the sacrifice incident, it showed they hadn't changed their Nature.

Qin Yang was not surprised by this at all.

Perhaps, the technology for this sacrifice was provided by the Free Federation.

And the Child Family side must have provided financial support.

As for the Pope's purpose in summoning the Evil God, Qin Yang didn't know yet.

But the Free Federation and the Child Family's intentions were definitely very direct.

That was to eradicate the faith in the Western World, to make them chaotic and fight.

Thus, the Free Federation could intervene with military force.

The Child Family, on the other hand, could follow behind and buy up assets at rock-bottom prices.

This plot was too familiar.

All of the above were just guesses.

But Qin Yang already had an 80 to 90 percent certainty in his heart.

He believed that with the Imperial Guards' ability, the answer would be found before nightfall.

Qin Yang was just thinking.

A quarrel broke out at the bar entrance.

"Kid, this is a bar, minors are not allowed in!"

"Who are you looking down on! In our country, I am already a Princess!"

"Then, Your Excellency Princess, please obey local laws. Here, even if you were the King of Heaven, you are still a minor!"

"No! I want to go in! I'm here to find someone!"

The quarrel was between a man and a woman.

The man was naturally the bar's bartender.

And the woman was a small girl with a petite stature.

She was smaller and thinner than average girls, and her hair was messy, like straw draped over her body.

She looked like an orphan wandering outside.

Her entire outfit also had a rugged, wilderness style, making her seem not from a civilized world.

Of course, the bartender didn't stop her just because of her attire.

She was genuinely underage, looking only thirteen or fourteen.

Even in the Near Holy City, full of original sin, it was impossible for her to enter the bar; this was a matter of principle.

However... this small, thin girl with a tender face was not an ordinary person.

Qin Yang could sense the Qi of a Grandmaster Tier Professional from her.

No... it wasn't just Grandmaster Tier.

Her overall strength should have reached Hero Rank, equivalent to an Imperial Guard weakened by 40%.

"Could it be... she is Little Monster."

Qin Yang was inwardly surprised, activating True Dragon Qi Observation... [Retired Emperors]: Daily greetings, a grand and passionate plot is about to begin, with various factions vying for power, but Qin Yang controls everything.
