Don't confiscate my citizenship

Icerite Academy, Jera Memorial Square.

The giant open-air screen that had been playing the news turned into darkness in an instant, and then began to show a new movie world.

Immediately attracted the eyes of some students passing by.

Since they didn't know which level of shadow world this was, most students just took a glance and walked by. The end of the semester was extremely busy for them, and they had no time to pay attention to other people's shadow world records.

Only a few students paid more attention to the giant open-air screen for a while.

The opening scene reveals a city-state shrouded in war clouds.

The background prompt text of the Shadow World appears at the bottom. This is a capital called Helsalem, which belongs to the northern Polante Empire. Now the entire continent is under the shadow of the Horning Empire controlled by the vampires.

The sky was gray, with heavy clouds hanging low, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

On the streets, citizens hurried about, their expressions were tense and worried, and they wore dark clothes, almost blending in with the darkness around them.

The camera moves slowly through the busy streets of Helsalem, capturing the latest reports on the war on newspaper stands.

The headlines in the newspaper announced good news, but the small print below revealed deep uneasiness and fear.

The low and rhythmic background music from the street shops was eerily intertwined with the occasional distant air raid sirens.

The scene turns to the Parliament Building, the political center of the Polante Empire. This magnificent building looks even more solemn and unshakable under the gloomy sky.

Inside, the lights are dim, the long corridors and old oil paintings look a bit eerie.

In these corridors, politicians discuss the fate of their country in hushed tones, their faces written with worry and the weight of responsibility.

Immediately afterwards, the scene changed to a closed office.

Here is a small room filled with books, documents and smoke. It seems a bit crowded and messy. There is a little black cat on the table looking around in confusion.

A figure was sitting behind his desk. It seemed that he had just arrived and was contemplating the upcoming challenges.

His eyes were deep, as if he was examining the past and future. He was holding an unlit cigar and turning it gently.

His face was expressionless, but his identity was clearly revealed, and the signature of the letter on the table symbolized the heavy burden on his shoulders——

[New Prime Minister of the Pollant Empire: Ranch Wilford]

Suddenly, students on the edge of the Jela Memorial Square screamed in surprise.

"I'm super! Lan!"

Hearing the sound, more and more people in the school turned around and looked at the giant open-air screen.

Many teachers and students of Ikerita College are familiar with the name Lanqi. Last semester, the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Aloran lost nearly half of its value in their school, which was related to Lanqi.

Fortunately, he let go of the most precious gold-level card maker of the Aloran Kingdom's academic visiting team, Senior Sister Kallen, and there was no one else.

I hadn't heard from Lan Qi for half a year, and the discussion had dropped a lot.

Now I saw him coming back like a lightning storm and entering the shadow world as soon as he came back. After a while, the students started running around telling each other enthusiastically.

The end of the semester is no longer important, they want to watch Lan Qi's live broadcast of the film world after half a year!

"Speaking of which level his shadow world is this time...it seems to be a completely open shadow world."

The students who were already sitting on the steps in front of the giant outdoor screen could not help but start discussing.

Most low-level shadow worlds will be closed environments.

Similar to the closed demon academy [Purgatory Corridor Academy] and the [Temple Villains Dinner Party] where they fight against the Saint of Destruction in the castle, it is difficult to leave the scope of activities defined by the shadow world for challengers within the limited time and conditions.

And the current shadow world seems to have a lot of room for movement, freedom and possibility.

It’s almost equal to the real world.

Often the level of this kind of shadow world cannot be low.

…

In the mysterious shadow world.

Lan Qi leaned on the office chair and stared at the office.

He had just experienced a kind of disorderly darkness, and then like the first ray of sunlight penetrating the darkness, his vision gradually returned to light, and he saw such an environment.

Only Boss Cat was with him.

Hyperion was nowhere to be seen.

Lan Qi's eyes moved slowly in the office, noticing every detail of the room.

The oil paintings hanging on the wall seem to reflect the glorious past of the Pollante Empire.

The bookshelves are filled with books and documents, reflecting his identity as a politician and scholar.

The room still smelled of tobacco, and there were pipes and matches on the table.

He picked up the pipe and looked at it. He obviously didn't smoke, but it seemed that the identity he was playing at the moment would always be accompanied by tobacco when he was alone.

"Meow, Lan Qi, where are you?"

Boss Cat didn't understand for a long time what era they were in, whether it was dangerous or safe.

However, it heard that most shadow worlds will be a relatively safe environment at the beginning and will not directly throw challengers into a dead end with no hope of escape.

"Probably tens of thousands of years ago."

Lan Qi put down his pipe, stared at the wartime map on the wall and replied.

When he saw the words "Honing Empire", he knew that it was the era of the Blood Moon Bad Times again.

It's just that unlike the last dinner of the Temple Villains, the Huoning Empire, a giant country located in the south, is now very different. It has almost annexed the entire central countries and has become the largest force in the world.

The Polante Empire where Lan Qi is now is a human empire located in the northern part of the continent that is facing a life and death test. It is also one of the few countries that is still resisting the Horning Empire and the Blood Tribe.

From the map, the northern part of the Polante Empire is covered with snowfields, and further north is a land of extremely cold nights with almost no daylight. After passing through, you can enter the demon kingdom.

"Just looking at the geographical environment, the Paulante Empire and the Protos Empire are quite similar, but the current Horning Empire is almost equivalent to the entire Southern Continent, and there is no sea separation between the two."

Lan Qi muttered to himself and explained to Boss Cat.

Before Boss Cat could say anything more, information about the Shadow World also appeared in front of them.

[Shadow World: Darkest Eclipse Demon Realm]

[Level: Seventh Level]

【Total number of challengers: 3】

[Sixteen years ago, after that dinner party, you were chased by the vampires and scattered all over the place. 】

[After escaping from Lichtens Castle, you changed your appearance and fled all the way to the north of the mainland. In the past sixteen years, you have become a high-level political leader of the Paulant Empire and the last line of human defense against the Strigoi and the Horning Empire. 】

"The background of the story of the film world was in late autumn. Twelve guests were invited by Priest Caligula to gather at Lichtens Castle, an ancient castle on the cliff. We all seemed to have different societies. In fact, all of them are members of the secret church, which aims to overthrow the bloody rule of the vampires on mankind. However, the great priest Caligula died tragically that night, and a traitor among the twelve of us joined the vampires."

Lan Qi saw the confused expression on Boss Cat's face as he didn't understand the previous situation, so he explained it to him.

In the castle, Frey worked with him to trick the Saint of Destruction into revealing her identity as a traitor. They used basic etiquette to make the Saint of Destruction kneel down. Finally, they caught Count Palokas and Viscount Augustine and made them into a fully automatic solar-powered infinite merit machine. It was at the villain dinner in the Shadow World Temple.

The new film world at this moment corresponds to the historical timeline, which should be sixteen years after the Temple Villain's Dinner, continuing the historical story of the Blood Moon Bad Times.

However, based on the clearance rewards that Lanqi, Hyperion, and Frey received, they also saw the original true history in the notes on the cards and materials. In the true history, their anti-Vampire Church side did not achieve a complete victory. The Son of the Sun played by Lanci barely survived, while the witch corresponding to Hyperion and the werewolf corresponding to Frey all died, leaving only the Son of the Sun to continue fighting against the vampires alone.

Boss Cat nodded, stood on Lan Qi's desk, and continued reading with him.

[The Horning Empire has now taken over the southern half of the mainland. Its two million troops are pressing on the borders of the neighboring countries of the Pollante Empire, ready to attack the northern countries at any time. Due to the non-resistance and compromise of the former Prime Minister of the Pollante Empire, This strategy connived at the expansion and aggression of the Horning Empire. The Pollant Empire House had lost confidence in this prime minister and began to look for a new successor. 】

[But Duke Moretti, the most vocal foreign minister in the parliament, is also a conservative. He refused to take over this mess, citing his lack of ability as an excuse. 】

[The successor must not only shoulder the important task of restoring peace in the northern continent, but also must be a candidate acceptable to conservatives. So, you seized such an opportunity, paid off more than ten years of hard work, and came to the Paulant Empire from behind the scenes. on the highest table. 】

[However, what greets you is a test that you are not ready for and cannot bear its weight...]

[Due to the ending being changed at the last historical node - both the werewolf and the witch survived, the projected world line has also slightly deviated from the original historical development process. 】

[The werewolf may not help you, at least this time, he won't help you. 】

[The whereabouts of the witch are unknown. Maybe she is waiting for you somewhere in the world. 】

[This little change, which is insignificant to the grand trajectory of history, may become an opportunity to end the Blood Moon Bad Times decades in advance...]

[Mission Objective 1: Find the key to defeating the Vampires. 】

[Mission Objective 2: At the end of the Shadow World, increase the human side’s chance of winning against the vampire side to more than 1%. 】

[Mission Objective 3: All challengers must survive until the 45-day time limit ends. 】

[If the challenger fails the mission goal, it will trigger a natural disaster in the world. 】

[The challenger’s starting locations are scattered based on the story background and historical roles played. 】

[Time remaining: 44 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes. 】
