Themis is the goddess of justice. In ancient Greek mythology, she holds scales to weigh the testimonies of opposing sides.

No wonder it's Themis's "abandoned" scales! Good heavens, this is completely unfair! In terms of the stakes, it greatly protects our side...

However, Xi Xi really likes it! Could we have more of these selfish "discarded" items?!

Xi Xi initially thought Libra was too adventurous, so she casually tried to trick the burly man, but unexpectedly she actually won. Now that she has two new items in her hands, she is really happy... This feeling of getting something for nothing is so great!

In the darkness, Xi Xi didn't have time to examine it closely before immediately pocketing her spoils.

It's a pity that this bandit named Wang is too pathetic. He only has one cultural relic to his name. So even with double the loot, he only won one more.

Wait a minute… Xi Xi began to recall the game system announcement from just now…

[Winner of the bet: Player Wang Chenzhong's personal items will be gifted to as loot]

Wang Chenzhong?!

Isn't this the lackey of Wei Chenghao and his two brothers?

Xi Xi remembered that when Li Jinshao was trading "The Miner's Biography" with Wang Chenzhong, he asked her for a pack of cigarettes. That was the last time she had any contact with Wang Chenzhong.

Without a word, she zoomed in on the map, her eyes scanning every corner anxiously, hoping to find some clues or traces of enemies. She then realized that apart from Chu Zhiqin, whose icon indicated she was a friend, she hadn't found any other hostile points of interest!

What about the person who was in cahoots with Wang Chenzhong...?

What's going on?!

Just as Xi Xi was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Chu Zhiqin's shouts came from above.

Xi Xi recognized her mother's figure at a glance, but what made her face freeze was that there was a dark figure accompanying Chu Zhiqin.

Full of vigilance, she subconsciously turned off the light screen map.

Xi Xi walked towards her mother without making a sound. As she got closer, she was surprised to find that the other figure was Wang Dashan!

"Brother Wang saved me!" Chu Zhiqin said with gratitude. She held Xi Xi's hand with a strength that seemed to indicate she felt guilty for having doubted the character of Wang Dashan and his wife.

It turned out that while Chu Zhiqin was scavenging supplies, she was being approached step by step by Wang Chenzhong's accomplices. At this moment, a ventilation duct suddenly fell down, and a lithe figure descended from the sky, throwing the accomplice into the sewage pool with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Where's the other person?" Wang Dashan had no intention of chatting here; he looked around with a very serious expression.

His dialect accent seemed much weaker, and for some reason, Xi Xi suddenly felt that Wang Dashan's voice sounded somewhat familiar when he spoke Mandarin.

“It’s solved.” Xi Xi looked at him with a hint of inquiry and gestured to indicate the location of the deck. “I threw him into the sea.”

"No, I need to see him alive or dead. I'm going down to check. You all stay here and don't move." With that, he leaped into the sea.

They were all scraped beyond recognition by the corrosive water, what hope was there for survival... Although that's what she said, Xi Xi naturally couldn't say it out loud, she didn't want to reveal too much of her personal strength in front of strangers.

Xi Xi and her mother exchanged a glance. Chu Zhiqin stepped closer to make sure the surroundings were safe before she began to explain in detail—it seemed that Wang Dashan and his wife had had an unpleasant encounter with those two bandits.

Based on Wang Dashan's few words, it can be inferred that the bandits had previously taken a liking to Wang Dashan's wife, Cuihua, and even used coercion and enticement to shamelessly rob them of a lot of supplies.

"By the way, do you know who was chasing me?" Chu Zhiqin asked in a low voice, a hint of lingering fear in her eyes.

"who?"

"Wei Chenghong... is the youngest of the three Wei brothers!"

"Huh? He's already..."

Xi Xi recalled the scenes that had happened in that tunnel.

She then realized that although she had imprisoned the three Wei brothers in the mirror world, only Wei Chenghao had actually witnessed their deaths!

“Wei Chengbin is gone too. I’m certain of it because I saw his desiccated corpse in the underground cave in Jingliu.” Chu Zhiqin recalled carefully, “Only this Wei Chenghong…”

"It seems we killed Jing Liu too soon." A shadow fell over Xi Xi's brow.

Clearly, three mortals could not digest Jingliu quickly enough.

It first greedily absorbed the life essence of Wei Chengbin and Wei Chenghao, but before it could attack Wei Chenghong, Jing Liu was attacked by Xi Xi and ultimately lost her life.

With the demise of the Mirror Willow, the predator-prey reversal space it had meticulously constructed naturally crumbled. It was likely amidst this chaos that Wei Chenghong managed to escape.

At that time, Wei Chenghong had nothing of value; he had neither a vehicle to get around nor the necessary supplies to survive.

However, he was extremely patient by nature. Even in the face of such a difficult situation, he was able to pretend to be calm and composed. He secretly contacted Wang Chenzhong and took away the expensive cigarettes and alcohol that Wang Chenzhong had originally supplied to Wei Chenghao. By selling these items, he successfully acquired a considerable amount of assets and gradually survived.

Later, for reasons unknown, the truth came out. As the saying goes, fortunes change, and Wang Chenzhong became the boss, while Wei Chenghong became his underling.
