18:09, ten minutes later.

He Yu stopped in front of a room on the third floor. He considered for five seconds and decided to set up the "line" first to avoid a breakdown in negotiations.

But just as they were about to take action, someone opened the door from the inside. The person who opened the door was none other than Long Sanshi, whom they had spoken to earlier.

She went back inside, sat down in a leather chair, crossed her legs, and said a somewhat sensible opening line: "We've finally met."

He Yu put down the wooden box containing the woman, then casually tossed 252 on the ground, and smiled: "Has anyone ever told you that you are very beautiful?"

In this era of advanced cosmetic surgery and makeup techniques, Long Sanshi is more beautiful than any woman He Yu has seen in real life or even online. Her features, figure, and even her hair are like an artist's sculpture, stunningly beautiful to an unbelievable degree.

Of course, Yu Yu also belongs to this type, but she is too indifferent, making it difficult for ordinary people to be interested.

“Someone did mention it. What, do you want to go on a date with me?” Long Sanshi put down his leg that was propped up on the table, not surprised by He Yu’s unwarranted praise: “I can consider it after this is over.”

“What I mean is, a woman as beautiful as you should go to hell, so you don’t have to suffer in the human world.” He Yu’s index finger twitched slightly, and the lines that had been quietly spreading in the air instantly converged and pierced through the body of Long Sanshi.

The expected scene of flying blood and flesh did not appear. The body of the three dragon corpses turned into a cluster of crimson maple leaves. Defying the laws of physics, they remained suspended in the air and reassembled into a human body in the time it took for He Yu to re-establish the connection.

"Sigh..." She sighed as she returned to human form, stood up and moved a chair for He Yu, placing it next to the bed. Then she returned to her own seat and said, "Have you finished testing? Please sit down."

"Almost there, I'll consider you to have passed."

He Yu certainly didn't intend to kill Long Sanshi. Well, he admitted that there might have been a moment when he hoped so, but if this woman really died so easily, then she wouldn't be qualified to cooperate with him.

He walked in from outside the door, sat down opposite Long Sanshi, and said in a casual tone, "Before the cooperation begins, I need you to give up your qualification to play the role of the Box Girl."

“There’s already a mummified corpse inside that box,” Long Sanshi replied immediately. In fact, while He Yu was on her way to the third floor, she had already given up the right to continue playing the role of the box girl.

“Alright, in exchange, I will tell you about the forbidden items I currently possess and their properties.”

He Yu hadn't expected her to be so cooperative, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He simply said, "I think you understand the abilities of the three forbidden things: [Line], [Read], and [See Hidden]. But I must remind you that these abilities are a castrated version; I cannot fully absorb them."

“This must be related to the forbidden substance that was originally inside you.” Long Sanshi looked at him with interest and began to analyze: “Having cognitive modification, being able to pull others into unknown alternate dimensions, and being able to devour other forbidden substances... Tsk tsk, I’m very curious why a character like you would be E05. Is it extremely unstable?”

“I can’t explain it to you, but you can think of it this way.” He Yu didn’t deny it. He had never really figured out what other abilities 659 had that he hadn’t discovered yet, after all, Eoubs had also been fooled by it before: “It’s your turn.”

“Elemental assimilation.” Long Sanshi picked up the water glass on the table and reached in. In that instant, her entire body transformed into a constantly floating water-like humanoid: “The true form of this forbidden object is a maple leaf. It is only triggered in an unconscious state. I can transform myself into the substance I encounter and acquire its characteristics.”

"This range also includes air, but it doesn't cover finer substances; currently, it only covers things that can be observed on a macroscopic scale."

"How did you get my phone number?" He Yu still hadn't forgotten about this. There was nothing he could do; he had suffered a setback earlier. Carelessness often cost him his life, and every time the soul within 659 was wasted, it was divine retribution.

“That’s another forbidden substance in my body.” Long Sanshi glanced down at him, and He Yu’s phone in his pocket started playing music on its own: “Electronic control, I think you should understand the concept.”

Upon hearing this, He Yu shifted his gaze to the number 252 on the floor.

"Forget about it, I can't shut it down." Long Sanshi took a sip of water and said weakly, "I tried when I first stepped into this villa, but it didn't respond at all."

"However, I can sense when 252 will start the next game. During your infighting, I've played dozens of different types of games, but it doesn't seem to be interested."

“I have another question.” He Yu pointed to Long Sanshi’s chest and said expressionlessly, “Why don’t you have an identity tag? Don’t tell me you took it off because you were bored. Find it and show it to me where you put it.”

"Well, so you're really good, you didn't disappoint me." Long Sanshi chuckled twice, but stopped laughing when he saw him bend his thumb. He said helplessly, "Don't be impulsive, please, I'm just an ignorant 19-year-old girl."

"Would an ignorant girl secretly plot against her future business partner?" He Yu sneered. "Stop talking nonsense and tell me why."

“The last forbidden thing in my body, just like you, is alive.” Long Sanshi stood up and stretched. She was only wearing a sundress, a scene that was incredibly alluring, but He Yu had no interest in watching it.

He realized something absurd.
