Chapter 2

This possibility is not low, after all, he is using the same body as the original host. If there really is some kind of lesion in the brain, the chances of recurrence are high.

He opened several other news websites and social media platforms.

Weibo, Zhihu, Tieba, Zhongdian Chinese Network...

This note actually topped the trending search lists of all the most popular websites!

Henry Clark refreshed the page in utter confusion, and comments started pouring in at lightning speed!

The super all-channel recommendations from all the top websites brought an absolutely terrifying level of attention.

“What the hell is this, is the system bugged? Why is this thing number one on the trending searches?”

“Orderkeeper’s Note? With a setup like this, it would flop even in the dumbest, most brainless webnovel!”

“It’s not even April Fool’s Day, so why are all the websites pulling a stunt together, playing this kind of joke on the whole country?”

“It’s not just the whole country, it’s the whole world! I just checked, and all the major foreign websites have posted it too! It’s just that foreigners can’t read Chinese, so they’re still translating it.”

“Which bored hacker did this? This is way out of line!”

Many people had already started speculating about who wrote this content and what their intentions were.

But “Orderkeeper’s Note” only published this single page, with no name or any personal information revealed, so their investigation had nowhere to start.

The vast majority of people thought it was the work of a hacker; no one believed what was written in the note.

“Wow, really? I just transmigrated here and you’re already giving me a social death gift package? Will people think I wrote this note?

“No, that’s not even what I should be worried about right now.

“Could I actually be in serious trouble?”

After calming down, Henry Clark realized that what was written in the note probably wasn’t just the delusions of some edgy student or the hysteria of a mentally ill person.

On the contrary, it seemed real!

To forcibly change the trending search and headline content of all major websites and keep it that way for a while—even the world’s top hackers might not be able to pull that off.

After all, these popular websites all have cybersecurity teams. What level of hacker could single-handedly go up against the world’s top security experts? And for something so pointless?

But all of this had happened in such a bizarre way that, aside from some mysterious force, there was simply no other explanation.

“If everything recorded in the original host’s note is true, and this so-called ‘Orderkeeper’s ability’ can even change all website headlines without anyone noticing, then… could it be that I’ve inherited the Orderkeeper’s ability and duty now?

“If I really have inherited it, how am I supposed to use it?”

As this thought appeared in Henry Clark’s mind, he suddenly felt dizzy, and his consciousness began to blur.

……

A moment later, Henry Clark found that he was no longer in that messy rental room, but had arrived in a special space.

It was a heavenly palace floating in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, like the dwelling of an immortal.

Wherever he looked, massive white stone pillars soared into the clouds, as if they had stood there since time immemorial.

But at this moment, the place seemed a bit deserted, because in this vast space, there was only one person.

A little girl in ancient dress, who looked about five or six years old.

The moment Henry Clark appeared here, she seemed to sense it, and ran over quickly on her short little legs.

“Henry Clark, you’re still alive!

“No, wait, you’re not him… you’re a completely unfamiliar soul…

“Did you transmigrate here from a temporal rift for some reason?”

A trace of disappointment flashed in the little girl’s eyes.

Henry Clark asked, “Who are you?”

The little girl’s expression turned serious: “My name is Brian Clark, and I am the guide for the current Orderkeeper of time and space.”

Henry Clark was silent for a moment. After trying hard to analyze all the information he had so far, he asked, “So, everything in that Orderkeeper’s Note is true, right?”

Brian Clark nodded. “That’s right.”

Henry Clark fell silent.

His feelings were complicated right now. He hadn’t expected to shoulder such a heavy responsibility right after transmigrating, and he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.

But priorities had to be set, so he decided to ask the most important one first.

“How did the original host die?”

Brian Clark replied, “He fought demons in the historical slice, and the injuries he suffered kept accumulating, which caused severe damage to his mind in reality as well.

“That’s why, before he died, he asked me to make the matter of the demons and the Orderkeeper public, hoping to alert the world as soon as possible and find a new way to deal with the threat of the demons.”

Henry Clark: “But right now, no one believes it’s real. They all think it’s some hacker’s prank.”

Brian Clark nodded as if it was only natural: “Humans haven’t seen demons since ancient times, so it’s normal not to believe it.

“But in seven days, a historical slice infested with demons will briefly overlap with reality, and the demons will reappear in the real world.

“When that happens, humanity will have no choice but to believe.”

Henry Clark was stunned, a bit shocked: “Demons will appear in reality?

“I thought they were hiding in the historical slice?”
