Cracks began to appear in the energy cage, and dazzling beams of light shot out from the cracks, illuminating the dark server room.

"Snap—"

With a crisp sound, the energy cage completely collapsed.

The computer room was lit again, but Xiaodie collapsed to the ground, limp and lifeless, like a kite with a broken string...

"Xiao Die!" Su Li exclaimed and rushed over immediately.

Lu Zhaoming also stepped forward quickly, but he stopped and stared intently into the depths of the server room.

There, darkness still lingers, as if concealing an even more terrifying secret.

"The game has only just begun..." he muttered to himself.

The energy cage shattered into pieces with a "crack," much like the sound of a broken heart, and the server room was finally restored to light.

Little Butterfly, however, seemed to have been drained of her last bit of value, and collapsed softly to the ground.

"Xiao Die!" Su Li's voice almost lifted the roof off as she rushed over.

Lu Zhaoming picked up Xiaodie and found her to be very light, which filled him with mixed feelings.

This little girl is going to great lengths to help me.

"Ding!" Just then, the system's voice rang out: "Host has been detected to be experiencing a high-intensity crisis. New ability 'Energy Analysis' has been unlocked."

"Oh ho? A crisis turned into an opportunity, this is a good deal!" Lu Zhaoming thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless.

However, before his excitement could subside, the sinister laughter of the man in the white robe came through the communicator: "Lu Zhaoming, you are indeed worth my anticipation. However, the game has only just begun."

Lu Zhaoming's brows furrowed into a knot, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Just how many more tricks does this old guy have up his sleeve?

An even bigger conspiracy is probably yet to come.

He held Xiaodie in his arms, his cold eyes scanning the surroundings as if trying to see through the entire server room.

"Heh..." Lu Zhaoming sneered as he spoke into the communicator, "Old man, I'll show you what happens when you anger the judge."
