Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 054 Daughter
"Respected Lady Adelian did not put up any resistance. Did you realize that you have no chance of winning, or did you come after your child?"
Selma put her arms around Ren Fengpan's waist intimately, and her words were full of provocation.
Her attempts to provoke Adeline had no effect.
Adlian glanced at Ren Fengpan, who looked a little bewildered, and smiled. She neither asked Eliza why she was here nor showed any dissatisfaction.
"My child? There are only the Dawn Army and invaders here."
Seeing Eliza not as Eliza but as an intruder. Recognizing this child as not a child at a glance.
Sharp eyes and quick reaction ability.
Selma leaned on Ren Fengpan's shoulder and said in a low and cold voice with an inexplicable irony, "As expected, she is Adeline Werner."
Ren Fengpan was not used to being so close to someone he was not close to, but he did not want to push Selma away, so he had to keep his body stiff so as to act as a "human frame".
However, facing Adeline's gaze, she was no longer at a loss. Before, she was worried that her presence would affect Eliza in the future, so she didn't know what to do. Now that she has been discovered, there is nothing she can do.
Su Yunling watched their conversation, her eyes showing some inexplicable brilliance and light.
"Get ready to go." said Ji Weihang.
Ji Weihang did not participate in their conversation, but kept adjusting her posture and the length of the light rope. After all, it was still a bit difficult for her to pull four people alone. Now it was adjusted.
As soon as she spoke, the others stopped talking and just tightened the light ropes around them. The light ropes could prevent them from getting separated accidentally.
In the Shadow Realm, except for the Shadow Realm Traveler, other people cannot tell the direction and will be lost in the endless darkness. If you leave the range covered by the Shadow Realm Traveler, you are likely to be preyed upon by the Shadow Realm creatures.
That creature hides from those who travel through the Shadow Realm, so its appearance is unknown and it is very mysterious, but there is no doubt that it is very powerful.
As a hostage, Adlian naturally took one of Ji Weihang's hands.
The other hand was kindly given to Ren Fengpan by Su Yunling and Selma. After all, Ren Fengpan was alone floating behind when he came.
Ji Weihang didn't mind who he was holding in his hands and moved quickly towards Beizhou.
Even though this was a different direction from where she had come, she had no doubts about her decision.
In the film industry, the way to go is based on "feeling" and unwavering confidence in it.
Trust your feelings and don't doubt them. If you have doubts, it's best to leave the film world immediately, otherwise you will get lost. - Advice from Meng Yan.
"Sir Intruder." Adelian didn't care that she was being carried like a child. She turned her gaze to Ji Weihang, trying to persuade him to defect. "You are so strong, why don't you join us? Our camp is stronger and has a better chance of winning. You don't need to put in much effort, and we don't need you to drag four burdens deep into the enemy camp."
Selma sneered subconsciously, but secretly paid attention to Weihang's answer.
She knew that Adrian was right. Compared with the Werner Group, the Dawn Army was indeed not that competitive.
The Werner Group is supported by several large groups and regimes, while the Dawn Army’s enemies are almost all organizations in the world.
"I didn't join them, I just traded with them." Ji Weihang said calmly.
Selma was disappointed for a moment at her neutral answer, but quickly realized that as long as the deal was not completed, the other party would not jump to the enemy camp.
Of course, the enemy camp also has the ability to help find people, but since she did not choose the Werner Group in the beginning, there is no need to regret it halfway.
Besides, her companions were still in the base, so she probably wouldn't abandon them.
While Selma was slightly more confident, Adrian said, "So, after the deal is done, you might join our camp?"
Ji Weihang said vaguely: "Maybe."
The reason why she joined the Dawn Army was because of Ling Si's initiative to invite her. She also believed that the "Dawn" in the Dawn Army was related to the "Beginning of Dawn" in the game mission, so she agreed.
Later, she agreed to make a trip to Beizhou because she wanted to maintain her image in front of Gui Yan - for a player, this was a good opportunity to understand the forces of the factions in this world. She really had no reason to refuse Ling Si's invitation, and she also wanted to find out.
Now helping to kidnap Adlian means a deal has been reached. She helps to kidnap Adlian, and they help to find Fu Xuan.
Which camp will she choose in the end? She is not sure.
Adeline smiled at her answer.
The camp they were talking about was obviously the camp that the player was in. Selma rolled her eyes, and when she returned, she immediately asked her eldest sister to invite Jiang Zhan first!
Although both wanted to recruit Weihang to join, neither of them invited him directly. One of them did not want to push him too hard, fearing that taking the lead would arouse resentment; the other had the same concern and wanted to discuss it with the eldest sister first.
"Xiao Feng." Su Yunling whispered to Ren Fengpan from behind, "Have you joined the camp?"
Listening to them talking, she also remembered the game mission.
Ren Fengpan hummed, his face not looking good. After being in the Dawn Army for so long, he had confirmed that the Dawn Army was in the "Bird" camp, and the Werner Group was in the "Beast" camp.
Seeing that her profile did not look good, Su Yunling did not ask any more questions. She had always been by her side, so she naturally knew that the people of the Dawn Army had never invited her to join their camp. She was afraid that she had joined another camp before.
This is very embarrassing.
…
It's really embarrassing.
After being asked this by Su Yunling, Ren Fengpan had to put thinking about the next plan on the agenda.
Previously, she asked Leah about the information of the Shadow Cult - "The Shadow Cult is a group of lunatics who hate superhumans. They believe that superhumans are thieves who have stolen the power of gods. They claim to be believers of gods and want to help gods regain power. In order to regain this power, all superhumans must be killed."
The relationship between the Shadow Cult and the Dawn Army...
Perhaps the Shadow Cult unilaterally viewed the Dawn Army composed of superhumans as its enemy, while the Dawn Army did not take this small evil cult walking in the darkness seriously at all.
Thinking of this, she touched her ear. After entering the cage, the device that allowed the horned man to monitor what she saw and speak in her ear stopped working.
She asked Leah indirectly, and the answer she got was that the Dawn Army had the ability to render all electronic equipment within a certain range inoperable, and they could not be used without being activated by someone with the ability.
After learning that the instrument had lost its effect, she ignored it for the time being and did not mention the matter to the Dawn Army.
On the one hand, she didn't know how they would react; on the other hand, the Dawn Army was, after all, a hostile camp.
Although subjectively, she would like to see them win, in order to pass the level, she must work hard to facilitate the victory of the Beast Camp.
She sighed secretly.
She went to the cage to find players to form an alliance with, but ended up in this awkward situation. It was really because of insufficient information beforehand.
But she didn't regret it. If she hadn't gone to the cage, she would have been discovered by Freya long ago. She didn't know what situation she would have ended up in. It could have been worse, or it could have been worse. In any case, she didn't regret the decision she made.
The question now is how to reconnect with the Beast Camp...
The answer to this question is actually very obvious.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Adeline on the left side of Ji Weihang, only to find that the pair of blue eyes seemed to have been staring at her for a long time.
With a profound insight into everything.
Ren Fengpan subconsciously looked away, as if her heart was seen through, with panic and helplessness, but she paused for a moment and then looked back.
Those blue eyes were still looking at her.
The two looked at each other and Adeline smiled at her daughter.
When Ji Weihang and the other four returned to Laka City, there was still half an hour before Ling Si was scheduled to meet with the Reese Group.
After leaving the black hole, he immediately felt a coldness that was different from that in Xizhou. Adelian looked around at the surprised and angry faces, and thought, "Beizhou, is this the city of Laka?"
“How did you…” Ren Fengpan hadn’t even uttered the word “know” when Selma covered his mouth: “She doesn’t know, she’s just deceiving you.”
But it's too late to cover your mouth now.
Adrian smiled with some fondness and said, "Thank you, my Eliza."
Selma let go of her hand and tutted.
Ren Fengpan lowered his head guiltily, "I'm sorry."
"Forget it, she'll find out sooner or later." Selma waved her hand and looked at the people nearby, "Where's my eldest sister?"
The Dawn Army members showed them the way.
Ji Weihang stuffed the spiritual light rope that bound Adelian into Selma's hands, and untied the light ropes of others.
Selma looked at the light rope in her hand with some surprise, but did not refuse. She thanked him and happily took Adrian's hand and walked towards Lingsi.
How cool it is to parade around town holding the person in charge of the Werner Group's hand!
She happily accepted all kinds of looks.
Behind him, Ren Fengpan, Su Yunling, and Ji Weihang followed in turn.
Just as they turned the corner and passed through a sound barrier, before reaching Ling Si's room, they heard voices through the wall, and they all slowed down their pace.
“Why don’t you send someone to investigate! You obviously have plenty of people under your command who can sneak in! We don’t even know if Sister Silla is still alive!”
The voice was excited and aggressive, "Is it true that as the rumors say, you have long been Werner's lackey, deliberately wanting Sister Sheila to die at Reese's hands so that you can devour the power of Beizhou!?"
"So there are rumors like this in private." Ling Si's voice. Her tone was calm, and she was not affected by the other party's words.
There was a brief silence in the room.
"I told you, sending people there will only make them never come back, which will only lead to more sacrifices." In the silence, Ling Si said, "Wait a little longer, the team that went to Xizhou will be back."
"Do you really trust that intruder with unknown origins? How could they, with just a few of them, possibly..."
A loud bang interrupted the conversation. Selma pushed the door open violently, stared at the door with a terrifying look, and shouted: "Who is it? Who allowed you to talk to my elder sister in this tone?"
In the somewhat empty little room, a group of people were sitting around the sofa next to the coffee table, and a few people were standing, all looking towards the door.
Ling Si, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, looked at Selma who had come in and drank a sip of tea calmly, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
After just one question, Selma faltered and said, "I'm sorry."
In the awkward silence, she coughed lightly, pulled Adeline in by the light rope, and said as if to take credit, "Adeline Werner, we brought her here."
A dozen pairs of eyes in the room were looking at Adeline Werner.
Ignoring the fixed gazes on him, Adelian looked around the plain room, set his eyes on Ling Si who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, and said, "The Dawn Army is a bit shabby."
Ling Si said: "An organization standing among the people is naturally not as luxurious as Werner who steps on the flesh and blood of the people."
Two pairs of equally deep blue eyes stared at each other.
The blonde girl suddenly jumped up from the sofa, interrupting the silent competition between the two leaders. The blade in her hand flashed, and she pounced forward with a sharp sound.
"Adeline Werner! Give me back my mother's life--!"
The voice of the blond boy was the same voice that had argued with Ling Si before.
Selma frowned and was about to stop him, but when she saw Lingsi shook his head, she hesitated and stopped.
Without any hindrance, the blond boy ran to Adeline.
Despite being restrained, Adlian was still able to dodge simply, but she didn't and was hit hard.
Looking down at the boy's hands and lips trembling with excitement as he stabbed the blade into his enemy's body, she pulled the corners of her lips apart and slowly uttered a few words that were plain but mocking:
"May I ask who you are?"
The blond boy's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared and was about to stab her again.
After receiving Lingsi's order, Selma stretched out her hand to block the boy and said in a calm tone, "Don't you want to save your sister Sheila?"
Staring at the unmoved Selma for a moment, the blond boy took a deep breath to calm down, and said to Adrian: "Just wait for me."
Adeline ignored it and looked at Lingsi and said, "Your child is so rude. If Alice saw me injured, she would be angry."
