Chapter 211 Tongchenzhou (4)

After leaving the team heading to the top floor, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

As an outsider, she always felt awkward.

On the one hand, Wu Li is now considered a member of the Eternal World and has participated in the exploitation of players. Players other than Ji Weihang are not familiar with her identity and are friendly to her, which makes her feel like she is deceiving them;

On the one hand, although she didn't stay on the Tongchen Boat for a long time, Wu Li didn't hate Wanshi Tongchen. If she stayed with the players, she would inevitably participate in destroying Wanshi Tongchen, which was not what she wanted.

Wu Li neither wants to help Wanshi Tongchen deal with the players, nor does he want to help the players deal with Wanshi Tongchen.

Therefore, Wu Li chose to leave them, find people he was familiar with, return to his own circle, and return to a position that was consistent with his own position.

——Neutral position.

The corridors of the living area are a warm light yellow, and there are oil paintings hanging on the walls, which are decorations produced and hung by the crew themselves.

Wu Li found a room that he had not stayed in for many times. He grabbed the door handle and the fingerprint was detected correctly, and the door opened automatically.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the black cat squatting by the door, staring at the door with its bright eyes, as if waiting for her to come home.

Wu Li closed the door, rushed over to hug it, rubbed it, kissed it, and said, "Li Zi, do you miss your mother? Hmm? Do you miss your mother? Let your mother see if you are hurt?"

Wu Li held the plum high and looked at it left and right.

Being lifted in the air, Li Zi meowed impatiently, and then stared straight at Wu Li's head.

Wu Li remembered something, put the cat in her right hand, and touched her head with her left hand - the spiritual python that was dozing off above her head woke up and bit her lightly.

“……”I forgot to return it to Ji Weihang.

Ji Weihang never mentioned it.

Wu Li let go of Li Zi, and as soon as he let go, Li Zi disappeared.

Ignoring Li Zi who liked to run around, Wu Li took down the Spirit Python, let it wrap around his wrist and hide it under his sleeve.

After making sure that no one could see her, she walked into the living room and opened the door on the left wall.

Inside the door was a wide space, with a group of people sitting around a wooden table in the middle of the space.

There was food and tea on the table and they were having a meeting.

At this moment, they all looked towards Wu Li.

Seeing Wu Li, the young man sitting in the first seat stood up and walked over, "You're back, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Watching his friend checking him, Wu Li saw himself checking Li Zi's body just now and said helplessly, "I'm fine. What could happen to me?"

After returning here, Wu Li's heart calmed down. Although all kinds of turmoil were happening on the spaceship, those things seemed to become distant.

"Who knows? You are a human, not a god. There are many people on the spaceship who are stronger than you. And now there are a bunch of players." Friend Lian Zhige spoke directly.

Lian Zhige pulled Wu Li to the table and sat down, saying, "We are discussing the current situation. We don't know if we can return to the Galactic Alliance. What do you think? Will the players win? You are with Ying Huan. Do you know how Ying Huan is going to deal with it? The previous dream explosion was arranged by Ying Huan, right? Was it to collect emotional energy?"

Wu Li glanced at the people in the room. These were all volunteers from the Galactic Alliance like Wu Li and Lian Zhige. They belonged to various departments of Wanshi Tongchen.

Wu Li first talked about the issue that everyone was most concerned about: "The previous dream explosion was caused by Ying Huan in order to collect emotional energy. She said that she collected emotional energy in order to rebuild her hometown.

"I guess she will surrender after rebuilding her hometown. When the players take over the Tongchenzhou, they should not kill us. Based on my understanding of the reputable players, they will release us back to the Galactic Alliance."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Zhige's attention was drawn to a word in Wu Li's words, "Surrender? Why do you think Ying Huan would surrender? She showed a desire to avoid fighting?"

Wu Li said: "Although the dream explosion collected a lot of emotional energy, it was actually an extra job. If there were no dreams, the real casualties would have added more emotions.

“More importantly, dreams make the union between combatants and players stronger.

"If the fighters knew the inside story of the players, they would definitely turn against us. As the chief planner and chief researcher of the game, Ying Huan must have been able to predict this result, but she did not take any preventive measures.

“I think she was deliberately pushing for players and combatants to unite.

"If so, what is her purpose? This will greatly reduce the strength on her side and her chances of winning."

Lian Zhige pondered and said, "...it does sound like they are preparing to surrender, but it may also be related to the information we just shared.

"As you know, I work in the information department. Generally speaking, I browse the various information contained in the cosmic energy, filter out the target world, and then submit the information to Ying Huan for the next step.

“However, I heard from my colleagues that some time ago, Ying Huan personally screened the information for a period of time and then selected these current target worlds.

“As a result, this batch was full of surprises.”

Wu Li pondered and said, "You mean, from the beginning, she was the one who pushed the players into the current situation? She wanted the players to destroy Wanshi Tongchen? Therefore, she pushed the players and combatants to unite, not necessarily wanting to surrender, but could have other purposes?"

Lian Zhige said: "Well, we guess..." She winked and let the other person speak.

The man said: "As far as I know, Ying Huan is a player. She is not an original core member of Wanshi Tongchen."

Wu Li thought for a moment and understood what they meant.

Wu Li said: "Do you think she is helping the players? For what, revenge? But she is the one who has the final say in Wanshi Tongchen, and it doesn't seem that she disagrees with Wanshi Tongchen's approach. If she had a desire for revenge, she would not have been allowed to join in the first place.

"…How did she join Wanshi Tongchen?"

Facing the looks from his companions, the man shrugged and said, "I don't know either, but the game planners have always said that wishes will be fulfilled in the end. I guess Yinghuan came in after fulfilling the conditions and praying."

"Who agreed to let her in?" Wu Li said, "If Ying Huan is a player, then this matter becomes complicated... Since she joined later, there must be someone behind her. I thought she was the boss of Wanshi Tongchen, but now it seems that she is not."

Lian Zhige blinked and said, "Didn't I tell you that the boss of Wanshi Tongchen is a female soul?"

The others nodded in agreement.

"?" Wu Li was puzzled, he was the only one who didn't know.

She said: "...I thought the female soul was just an AI that was a little more powerful than the average AI. How can it be like a boss? It's rigid and limited."

Lian Zhige said: "The female soul behaves like an ordinary AI in front of ordinary members because she is responsible for too many things, and ordinary things only account for one percent of her functions.

“Whether it’s filtering information, game planning, material supply, or investigating the front lines, it’s all directed by the female soul, and she has a lot to do.

"Female Soul is the boss who is truly responsible for all matters concerning Tongchenzhou. As the chief researcher, Ying Huan is only responsible for matters related to gaming."

The others nodded as if they were copied and pasted.

Wu Li has accepted the fact that he is the only one who doesn't know. "It seems that it's because I've only been here for a few days and I haven't figured out these things yet."

"It's my fault. I forgot to tell you." Lian Zhige said, "Anyway, from what we know, the female soul has more authority than Ying Huan."

"That's not the point." Another person interrupted, "The point is, if Yinghuan was added later, why did the original members let Yinghuan be responsible for rebuilding their hometown? That is obviously their hometown, not the hometown of Yinghuan the player."

The original core members they knew were the predecessors and leaders of each department.

Wu Li said: "It seems that this matter is not as simple as I thought. Their purpose may not only be to rebuild their hometown."

"Well, these original core members have high authority, so it's impossible for them to be unaware of what Ying Huan did... I guess they pushed the players to riot because they had other plans." Lian Zhige said, "According to the original schedule, these original core members are all at work, so they should still be in the work department."

Wu Li recalled the previous words of the fighters splitting into three groups, and said, "The fighters want to learn about Ying Huan's next plan and purpose from the researchers, so they should meet them."

Lian Zhige said: "These core members are all very strong, and the combatants may not be able to defeat them."

Wu Li fell into deep thought.

This matter is becoming complicated. Should she stay here and wait for the results?

That's not her style.

But if you want to join the battle, what should you do? There is no exact purpose.

Wu Li asked her, "Do you want to get involved?"

Everyone except Lian Zhige shook their heads.

"We are not strong enough in combat and our identities are awkward. Who are we helping by joining in?"

"It's easy to get hurt by mistake, so forget it."

“It’s good to wait for the ending here.”

As expected.

After all, even Wu Li was hesitant, let alone other ordinary volunteers.

Lian Zhige observed Wu Li's expression and said, "There is a limit to what we can do. No matter which side it is, they don't consider us as their own. But, they probably don't want to hurt us by mistake. This may be the reason why Ying Huan deliberately arranged for us to have a day off today."

The volunteers of the Galactic Alliance are still members of the Galactic Alliance after all. People of the Eternal World do not completely trust them; and players are even less likely to regard them as companions.

Stuck in the middle, neither up nor down...

Wu Li glanced at the spiritual python that was wriggling slightly on his wrist, and said thoughtfully: "In fact, this is also our advantage. We can exist as a mediator between the two parties."

Lian Zhige was puzzled and asked, "How should we do it? Should we rush up to them and tell them to stop fighting when they are fighting?"

Wu Li stood up and said, "I'm going to find a researcher."

She had a rough plan in mind.

She finally felt concerned and couldn't just sit back and watch.

Seeing Lian Zhige getting up and wanting to go with them, Wu Li said, "You stay with them. Don't worry about me. I'll let Anda go with me."

"No." Lian Zhige insisted on following.

In Lian Zhige's opinion, who knows what the outcome of Wu Li's departure will be. If something unexpected happens and she cannot see Wu Li for the last time, she will regret it.

Wu Li couldn't persuade her, so he let Lian Zhige go with him, and said to the others, "You guys just stay here, it's not safe to go out."

After they left, the other volunteers looked at each other.

"Both owners have left, and we are still staying in their rooms. It's awkward."

"Don't you think it's more awkward that they went and we didn't?"

"Haha, it's important for people to know themselves. It would be embarrassing if they were to hold others back."

"Okay, okay, eat fries, eat fries. Who knows if you'll get to eat them again in the future."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't say such discouraging words."

“…”
