After being teleported to the NPC identification site, Xie Qi and Li Ze were both confused.

They had clearly cleared the level, so how could they be teleported here? If they were teleported here, then it meant that one of them was an NPC.

"Players, please note, the NPC identification phase has begun. Please eliminate the NPC."

After hearing this, Li Ze stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief, staring at Xie Qi in front of him.

He frowned, unconsciously took a small step back, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "You are an NPC!"

These words were not questions, but rather an unequivocal affirmation.

At this moment, Li Ze's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and his emotions were so complicated that they were difficult to describe. He could never have imagined that Xie Qi had been deceiving him all along.

At this moment, Xie Qi was even more panicked than Li Ze.

If he had known that he was an NPC, he would have been the first to enter the cage without hesitation, ending the game early and allowing humans to win.

However, now that things have come to this, the most urgent thing is to quickly explain everything to Li Ze.

Xie Qi explained anxiously, "I didn't mean to lie to you! I didn't know I was an NPC."

Li Ze took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, then looked at Xie Qi again and asked, "How come you don't know you're an NPC?"

Xie Qi: "There's one thing I haven't told you. I actually lost my memory. I don't remember who I am, and I don't remember anything before I entered the game. I also didn't know I was an NPC. Because I didn't remember, I always thought I was a player."

After hearing this explanation, Li Ze was silent for a while, and then he believed what the other party said, because all the way through the levels, Xie Qi had indeed been protecting the players and protecting him.

But even if Xie Qi didn't lie to him, it was a fact that Xie Qi was an NPC, and he actually fell in love with a string of data.

Xie Qi looked at Li Ze, who had his head down and no expression on his face, sighed, then turned and walked towards the cage.

Even if in this world, he turned into a string of data, so what? The worst that could happen was that when they got out, he would ask 948 to make a clone for him and he would possess the clone.

However, Li Ze didn't know what Xie Qi was thinking. He only knew that Xie Qi was an NPC, a string of data. NPCs existed for the game, so after they successfully passed the level, Xie Qi would most likely disappear.

Especially when he saw Xie Qi walking towards the cage, Li Ze immediately chased after him and grabbed Xie Qi's hand.

At this moment, Li Ze's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse as he asked: "After the game is over, what will happen to you? Will you still exist? How can I find you?"

Xie Qi looked at Li Ze like this, raised his hand and stroked the corner of Li Ze's eye, and said comfortingly: "The person who created me will definitely be able to transfer my data to other objects. Besides, the alien technology is so advanced, maybe I can become a robot by then."

Li Ze took a deep breath and promised, "Okay, after I get out, I'll go find His Majesty the Star and ask him to sell your data to me."

Xie Qi chuckled: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After Xie Qi finished speaking, he turned around and went into the cage. In just a moment, Xie Qi and the cage disappeared from the spot.

The next second the mechanical sound came again.

"NPC identification error, player eliminated, game continues."

However, this sentence made Li Ze's pupils tremble. Why did he identify the wrong person? Wasn't Xie Qi an NPC?

Before Li Ze had time to think it through, the surrounding environment changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

Without warning, the once solid, flat floor suddenly cracked into massive fissures. Through the cracks, one could see the surging red molten lava below, like a ferocious beast with its bloody maw gaping, emitting a suffocating heat wave.

The scorching heat seemed to be able to melt everything in the world. Even the air became extremely hot, mercilessly burning Li Ze's cheeks.

At this moment, to the left of Li Ze was a steep and dangerous cliff. Looking down, he saw the bubbling and scorching hot molten lava. If he was not careful, he would fall into it and there would be no way out.

On the right, there stood a mysterious door that led nowhere. Just as Li Ze was hesitating, a small square suddenly appeared in the air.

The small cube floated in front of Li Ze and stopped at the same level as his eye level.

Then, a cold, emotionless, mechanical voice emanated from within the small cube: "Human, in this so-called 'game', there have never been any NPCs. All of you, without exception, are true players."

Hearing this, Li Ze frowned and questioned the other party without any hesitation: "You cheated the players?!"

Facing Li Ze's accusations, the small cube seemed unconcerned. It still responded in that cold, mechanical voice, "Don't be so harsh. Our planet has no obligation to act as a philanthropist and help you. If you want to be recognized and accepted by our planet, you must obediently complete our test."

Li Ze: "How can you accept Earthlings?"

"That's up to you. See that door in front? Just open it and you can go out. Then we'll personally take you to live on our planet."

The little cube continued to bewitch him, "Li Ze, you are very capable. Once you reach our planet, we will vigorously cultivate you and bring you endless wealth and glory..."

Li Ze interrupted him directly: "What about them? What about the other people on Earth?"
