Gu Xinghe learned of Duncan's existence.
In fact, he learned this yesterday from Vivian and Fionn's communication with people from Oasis Company.
His behavior was somewhat suspicious; he was a very ambitious new employee who had just joined the company.
Gu Xinghe realized that this person must be a player.
The resentment that Vivian saw in his eyes at that moment.
It's clearly not just because he doesn't have his boss's trust.
But it's when you're about to get clues about completing your mission.
The resentment shown when someone is pulled away just when they are about to succeed.
But what Gu Xinghe didn't expect was that upon meeting this person, the information he obtained through his mind-reading ability revealed to him—
It turns out that it wasn't a coincidence that the two of them entered the same instance.
Instead, Duncan was an undercover agent sent by the White Star Company to Oasis Company.
So, Gu Xinghe said to the person standing in front of him with a mischievous grin.
"Duncan..."
After Gu Xinghe paused for a moment, Duncan quickly chimed in.
"Yes, sir."
"You don't want people to find out you're an undercover agent, do you?"
After he finished speaking, Gu Xinghe could clearly see that Duncan froze.
During that moment of silence, Gu Xinghe could clearly sense the intense struggle within the other person's heart.
But now, in Duncan's perception, in this "safe and harmless" space where he is at this moment.
His entire body was being uncontrollably guided to tell the truth, as if his bodily instincts were going against his reason.
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, Duncan answered Gu Xinghe's rather quirky question very seriously.
Logically speaking, even if Duncan had been exposed at this point, he should still have had many other ways to maneuver.
However, in the current atmosphere, Duncan found himself unable to lie.
All his actions were guided to reveal his most authentic self.
So, after directly admitting that he was a spy.
At this moment, Duncan looked up at Gu Xinghe with some fear.
When someone directly exposes his spy identity, and he admits it without even knowing why.
He had no idea what he would encounter next.
But while Duncan appeared quite terrified, Gu Xinghe began to think with great interest—
Are game system tasks this demanding now?
Is it possible to let players act as undercover agents and infiltrate another company to steal information?
After "leaving" Duncan for a while, Gu Xinghe did not allow the other party's unease to continue to fester.
"If you don't want your undercover work to be discovered... that's simple, just become my double agent."
After saying that, without waiting for Duncan to refuse or make any other reaction.
Gu Xinghe tossed the Doom Coin, which was entirely formed from the power of the Goddess of Thorns, from his storage space to Duncan.
"So, your first mission as a double agent is to deliver this coin to White Star Line."
Duncan seemed to be curiously examining the coin.
Gu Xinghe kindly reminded the other party.
"If you don't want to be tainted by bad luck, you'd better do as I say and hand over this coin quickly."
At that moment, Duncan saw that the coin was in his hand.
The black mist that had been eroded onto the coin was gradually fading away.
It's like a protective film that was originally covering the coin is being gradually torn away, revealing the coin's original appearance underneath.
Normally, the black substance that appears before him is gradually fading away, revealing the original appearance of the object.
It should give people a sense of safety and purification.
But after the young man's prompting and advice, Duncan also felt an ominous feeling about the coin in his hand.
That black layer really does exist as a protective film!
At that moment, he felt as if he were holding a bomb that was constantly on a countdown in his hands.
In fact, that layer of black mist protective film was something Gu Xinghe had covered on the coin with his own power.
Before Gu Xinghe's lucky power is completely exhausted.
The power of misfortune left by the Goddess of Thorns in the Coin of Misfortune will naturally not erupt.
The principle is roughly the opposite of the coin he gave Weaving and Fionn.
The previous one was after the bad luck was exhausted, and luck and hope would naturally appear.
The opposite is true for Duncan: after the initial good fortune runs out, the misfortune within him will eventually erupt.
Therefore, Duncan's comparison of the coin to a bomb with a constantly counting down time is quite reasonable.
[Could we please stop considering transferring this matter to the White Star Line?]
Can I just throw this coin anywhere?
[Besides, today isn't the time we agreed to meet.]
It's too dangerous for me to keep this thing in my hands all this time!
However, it was impossible to see Gu Xinghe's face clearly.
Just as he had that thought.
Duncan felt a blurry image suddenly appear in his mind of the other person looking at him with a half-smile.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Duncan immediately and profoundly realized something, as if he were sacrificing himself for his cause.
This thing absolutely must be delivered precisely to the White Star Line crew before the "bomb countdown" ends.
After reading this heartfelt message, Gu Xinghe stood up, walked over to him, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
In fact, Duncan doesn't really need to worry about the "bomb countdown" going too fast.
This resulted in the "bomb" exploding right in his hands.
The current protective layer of black mist will disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Actually, it was Gu Xinghe who deliberately made the adjustment, showing it to Duncan.
Afterwards, Gu Xinghe would keep an eye on his situation and make appropriate adjustments to the so-called "bomb countdown".
This will allow Duncan to safely deliver the bomb coin to the White Star Line.
It shouldn't have exploded while it was still in Duncan's hands.
Even when this "bomb countdown" protection was passed on to White Star Line, it was still being implemented.
Gu Xinghe also plans to let this protective film last for a while.
After letting the other party fully experience the benefits of good fortune, then suddenly unleash misfortune.
Of course, Gu Xinghe wouldn't tell Duncan that the countdown for the coin bomb would be adjusted accordingly.
