Chapter 73 Deception

Lilith? No matter who it is, she will knock them out first.

Ji Weihang's figure flashed, and he chased after the opponent and was about to punch him.

Lilith's dodging skills are extremely superb. Although her speed is not fast, she can always just avoid her attacks.

This familiar dodge...Ji Weihang thought of Su Yunling.

This was what happened when Su Yunling was dodging the Dawn Army members, as if she had predicted their trajectory in advance.

"Do you know Su Yunling?" Considering the "coincidence" that Su Yunling led her here and met Lilith, Ji Weihang asked while chasing.

"Sure enough, she was the one who asked you to come here." Lilith dodged her grabbing hand and said calmly, "I only heard of her name. She might know me through some channels."

Is this referring to what Su Yunling knew about this world through “comics”?

"How did you know that Su Yunling knew you?" Ji Weihang asked.

Su Yunling's affairs seemed to be no longer a secret, and the same was true for Hilda before.

——Ji Weihang often peeks into people’s conversations through her spiritual sense. She has a very flexible moral bottom line and does not think that this is privacy that needs to be respected.

Where did it come from? Su Yunling should have only told Ling Si, Ling Si would not spread it around...

Lilith said: "At the beginning, it was Adrian who asked me to spread the news that Su Yunling was an ordinary person but had superpowers. Later, the boss of the Zhenghe Alliance also spread the news, asking the people of the Zhenghe Alliance to approach Su Yunling and try to bring her back.

"But these are not particularly clear information. The reason why I know is that Su Yunling revealed the information herself on the Internet."

Ji Weihang raised his eyebrows.

Lilith stopped and said, "Stop playing your game of catching me and hiding from me, okay? Speak properly."

Ji Weihang stopped obediently and said, "Okay."

Lilith adjusted her hat, which had been turned inside out, and asked, "What reason did Su Yunling use to lead you here?"

Did they temporarily skip the previous topic? Ji Weihang didn't care too much and replied, "The people here are awakening the ancient god. After the ancient god awakens, he will use the entire blue planet, including the aliens, as food."

Lilith paused in her tidying up movements and laughed. Her expression was very natural, without any of the stiffness from before. "You've been deceived."

"The term 'ancient god' comes from the classification of gods in the fantasy mythology system, and often appears in fantasy film and television literary and artistic works. It has nothing to do with reality."

"It seems that although you are powerful, there are still many things you don't understand." She adjusted the hood of her large black cloak and looked at Ji Weihang leisurely.

"That's true." Ji Weihang does not shy away from his shortcomings.

But she didn't completely believe that what Lilith said about the ancient gods was a fantasy, so she turned the topic back to the gods. "You mean the ancient gods don't exist? Then, what about the gods that the church believes in? Do they really exist?"

Lilith answered readily, "They do exist, but they only occasionally make weak responses. Gods who cannot interfere with world events are no different from non-existent, right? The general idea is that they only have remnants of divine consciousness and cannot truly influence the world."

"The Shadow Cult too?" Ji Weihang asked.

From Ren Fengpan’s memory, we can clearly see the process of Ren Fengpan being selected, and the Shadow Cult selected the player "Ren Fengpan" instead of "Elisa".

Lilith paused, getting the information from it, and then said, "Do you know who the god of the Shadow Cult is?"

Ji Weihang dug out a god's name from the memories of all parties: "God of Dark Night?"

Lilith said: “The power of the God of Night is called the Power of Darkness.

“The world is now in turmoil and chaos, the power of darkness has increased significantly, and the number of superhumans with powers such as dreams and illusions derived from the power of darkness has also increased significantly. Although there have been rumors that the God of Darkness will awaken because of this, most people do not think this will really happen.

"Among the underground churches that mostly make money in the name of gods, the Shadow Cult has always stood out for its loyalty and fanaticism. We just think that they have gone crazy in their faith.

“But judging from your attitude, you think that Eliza was chosen by the gods to become the Holy Son, and you are not targeting Eliza who was chosen by the Werner Group.

"——I believe you will not make a wrong judgment. Then, it is more likely that the increase in the power of darkness is indeed causing the God of Darkness to gradually revive.

"Then the fanaticism of the Shadow Cult is understandable."

Ji Weihang found it very interesting. Since entering the game, she had never heard people mention the word "god" so frequently. It seemed that all superhumans believed that gods could not exist, and even if they did, they were very far away from them and would not affect the battle situation.

Lilith looked at her and said, “As we are in the same camp, I can say that you don’t have to worry.

"'After darkness, light will surely follow'.

"If the God of Darkness awakens, the God of Tomorrow on the other side of the scale will also awaken and fight with him. We cannot know or interfere in the battles between gods, and the gods will not directly influence us. All we have to do is try our best to win the war between non-gods.

"The outcome of our war will affect their game."

Lilith spoke such a long string of words in one breath, but Ji Weihang responded: "You know a lot of things that other people don't know."

Lilith said calmly: "If you were the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world, you would know this too."

Ji Weihang said: "So, even if the gods awaken, it won't have much impact on us, and it's even more impossible for them to eat all of humanity?"

Lilith said, "Yes."

Ji Weihang said, "So Su Yunling just wanted me to meet you?" She grabbed Lilith's arm.

"To be precise," Lilith used the hand that was not caught to take a black sticker-like object the size of a fingernail from the corner of Ji Weihang's clothes. "It was to let her meet me."

"A listening device." Lilith spread out her palm to show her the black object. "If you didn't leave this listening device on you on purpose, then you should go to class to make up for your lack of familiarity with technological products."

A bug? Although Ji Weihang knew that Su Yunling had secretly attached this thing to her when she was in the car, he did not know that it was a bug.

"You knew there was this thing, but you didn't know it was a bug." Lilith read the information from her expression and put the bug into her palm. Lilith said, "I'm very interested in her, so I'll keep this."

"If she wants to meet you, why would she go to so much trouble? She can spread the news directly on the Internet. Can't you communicate directly on the Internet?" Ji Weihang questioned.

"It seems that you are not that unfamiliar with technology." Lilith said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you the reason behind this."

Ji Weihang looked at Lilith, as if she was ready to use force to make her surrender; Lilith also looked at her calmly, as if she was not ready to surrender to her force.

At this moment, she suddenly asked, "Is Su Yunling a simulated human?"

Her words fell into the silent air like a dropped needle, making the air even quieter.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, she continued slowly, "It may not be accurate to say that it is a simulated human. Or, just like you are now, it is in the shell of a simulated human. I can't explain what it is, I'm just giving an analogy.

“There are three reasons.

“First, she has a strange and outstanding dodge ability, and can even dodge superhuman attacks.

“When I was watching, I noticed that she seemed to see through the opponent’s movements and evaded them in advance. Since her speed was not particularly fast, it seemed that she narrowly avoided them every time.

"This is not something that ordinary people can do. I didn't know why at first, but your evasion just now was very similar to hers. So I had this idea.

“Secondly, she is an ordinary person, but her memory can be modified at will without leaving any traces, and she also left a dolphin in my mind.

"Third, as an outside intruder, how did she manage to spread the news online without being seen by outsiders and was discovered by you accurately?"

Ji Weihang looked at Lilith, "After all, there is no rule that intruders must be human, right?"

“Although I don’t know what that is,” she pointed at the black object in Lilith’s palm, “but she insisted on giving it to you through me, so I guess it’s not a so-called listening device.

"She must have something to ask you, and you are inclined to cooperate."

Lilith remained silent while she was speaking, and only now said, "I thought that the brains of humans with powerful military power would rust."

"Yes, we are ready to cooperate. I can't tell you anything else." Lilith avoided the question of Su Yunling's identity.

"I now know everything I want to know." Ji Weihang released his hand. "We are in the same camp. Your plan will not interfere with the ending of the game. I am not interested."

Lilith said, "Our plan will not affect the ending of the game."

Seeing Ji Weihang turning around to leave, Lilith suddenly said, "I'm going to kill the Holy Son of the Shadow Cult. Do you want to stay and watch?"

Ji Weihang turned her head and looked at her, then stopped. Although she didn't know the purpose of Lilith's words to keep her, she was not afraid of any unexpected incidents. "Okay."

Ji Weihang turned around and went back to Lilith. Lilith opened her palms, projecting a light blue screen floating in the air.

A monitoring interface appeared on the screen. The group of people walking in the picture were Werner's core team headed by Adrian, and Ren Fengpan was among them.

They could be heard over the microphone discussing Edward's death.

The eldest daughter of Adelian wanted her mother to decide her identity as the heir, but Adelian turned a blind eye. The war suddenly spread to Ren Fengpan, who was cautious and quiet.

The eldest daughter pointed at Ren Fengpan and spoke mercilessly: "Mother, do you want to wait for Eliza to come back? Let's not talk about the fact that Eliza has been invaded. How can the heir convince the public? Let's just talk about her ability. Not only has she never been involved in the affairs of the group, she has also never done any serious work. It's okay for her to be an idle second generation, but asking her to take on the responsibility of the group? It's better to rely on Uncle Ali." As she said this, she rolled her eyes.

Looking at the family dispute on the screen, Lilith explained on her own initiative: "In fact, Eliza is not just a second-generation, she was just unlucky and was invaded at a critical moment."

Ji Weihang was not interested in how unlucky Eliza was, and asked, "How are you going to do it?"

Adlian was surrounded by the superhuman elites that she had seen before when she kidnapped Adlian, not to mention an elusive shadow world traveler who was ready to rescue her at any time.

Even though Lilith is a super AI who can control some of Werner's electronic devices remotely, she should not be able to penetrate the protection of so many people and kill Ren Fengpan.

"Just watch." Lilith turned to look at Ji Weihang, "Do you really not mind if I kill her?"

Ji Weihang was a little surprised, "Why do you think I care?"

Lilith said, "You look cold and heartless, but you have a strange tenderness, don't you? Just like you haven't killed Gui Yan yet."

This statement contained a lot of information. Ji Weihang said, "You really don't have any privacy here. Even the individual rooms have surveillance cameras."

"Isn't it rude to ask for privacy in our Omnic house?" Lilith said.
