I Did Many Dangerous Things After Knowing When I Would Die Chapter 7
Advertisement
The audience in the livestream were horrified at the sight of Blake.
Blake sat alone in the center area between the northern and southern part of the cemetery, holding a cross in his hand while mumbling to himself, which they supposed was chanting.
His backpack was thrown aside, and many of the equipment used for setting up camp had been taken out, all placed on the empty spot behind him.
From his actions, it was not difficult to guess that Blake was going to sleep here tonight...
"What do you mean? This kid isn't going to stay with the expedition team?"
"I think so... But what is that cross in his hand? Is it to ward off evil spirits?"
"Tsk, I think so! What does a kid even know about warding off evil spirits? It must be that he felt pressured by the disapproval of the team, so he's putting on a show now!"
"Sigh, I worry so much for the expedition team. With such a troublesome teammate, what's the point of exploring?!"
The viewers likened Blake's actions to a child throwing a tantrum.
At the same time, they couldn't help but sympathize with the other members for having to carry out their investigation with a thorn in their side.
As for the cross in Blake's hand, they assumed it was a child's toy and completely ignored it.
In response to John's question, Blake turned toward him and repeated kindly.
"John, there's something seriously strange in the northern region. I strongly suggest that we don't camp there, especially in such a hurry.
"This cross of mine has the effect of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits.
"Stay within a one-meter radius of me and supernatural beings won't dare to approach any of you.

"You can come with me..."
Blake paused.
His Yin-Yang Eyes noticed that as John and the others moved north, the Yin energy there seemed to be growing increasingly aggravated...
However, he didn't have the time to alert them about this.
The members of the expedition team burst into fits of laughter.
"Hahaha, lil' Blake, I beg of you, can't you put down your act and just admit defeat? You're really too cute..."
"Ten of us experienced expedition members need your protection? Moreover, with a cheap cross? Oh my god, this is the funniest joke I've heard today!"
"Blake, you're hilarious..."
The eleven expedition members could not help but hold their stomachs as they howled with laughter, treating Blake's words lightly.
At the same time, the audience also burst into laughter.
"What f*cking clownery is this? Blake has some serious talent!"
"It's clearly a haunted adventure show, but it's turned into a stand-up comedy! Blake, I'd love to watch your comedy shows!"
"Hahaha! Everyone, look at John's face! If I were him, I would have already been wriggling in regret of bringing this kid on an adventure with me!"
...
Yet again, Blake became a laughing stock...
The expedition leader, John Jones, had also been angered by Blake's words and snickered along.
'Could this kid's sole purpose of being here be to anger me?'
He couldn't help but wonder in amusement.
However, as the leader, he still had his status. Casually ridiculing and isolating a high school student was clearly something only ignorant people would do; he wouldn't stoop to a level so low beneath his status.
Therefore, he kept silent with a smile.
Until he saw Blake inserting the cross into the ground in front of him.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind and he thought of an efficient money-making scheme...

He suddenly knelt down, unzipped his backpack, and took out a delicate, tiny box.
With hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream witnessing, he opened the box and revealed the objects inside – twenty fine silver crosses!
"Are these... Exorcism crosses? Captain John has them too?"
"What do you mean 'he has them too'? His cross obviously looks a lot more stunning than Blake's, okay?"
"That's right! These crosses are exquisitely made, and each of them have peculiar patterns. One look and you can tell that they are definitely not your ordinary objects..."
"I have a feeling that these twenty crosses are very likely to be Captain John's secret weapon to defeat the lingering ghosts tonight! Everyone, what do you think?"
"It seems really likely, I think so too!"
...
What a domino effect!
The split-second Captain John took out the crosses, comments started rushing into the livestream.
Amidst everyone's guesses and claims, John held back from responding to them right away.
Instead, he squatted and used the cross to gesture around the cemetery for a long time as if he was thoroughly investigating, before finally making a few marks on the ground.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the expedition team members and the audience, he inserted each of the crosses into a 10-meter radius around the expedition team, based on his deductions from using a seemingly convincing 'professional' technique.
The result? An unusually patterned 'formation'.
The longer the audience watched Captain John's series of actions, the more puzzled they became. It wasn't until Captain John was finished that he let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Blake with a smile.
"Hey, kid, you just said that your cross can exorcise evil, didn't you?
"Then, take a look at this evil- warding cross formation of mine. How is it?"
John looked at Blake with a hopeful smile, as if anticipating his guidance.
The viewers in the livestream became increasingly eager after hearing John's words.
"Holy shit! So he was setting up the evil-warding cross formation! See what I told you guys, these twenty crosses are definitely not your everyday decorations!"
"Captain John, as expected of you! You're even able to set up the evil-warding formation, you're amazing!"
"Captain John, aren't you giving this kid Blake too much credit? Does this guy even deserve it?"
"Look! This is what you call a formation! Look at his intelligence!"
"I have to say, Captain John's formation looks very professional. Being with a person like him must feel very safe... The expedition team is so blessed to have him!"
...
While the netizens in the live broadcast room marveled in amazement, Blake glanced at the formation John had just set up and frowned.
"Captain John, the Yin energy in the northern area has increased even more after setting up this formation. Quickly remove it, or you and the members of the expedition team will be in danger," Blake said in a serious tone.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
