"But the ordinary people here are helpless; they can't resist, so they can only follow along and believe in it."
Jia Zhengyi shook his head as he spoke, his words filled with disdain.
Su Lin nodded in agreement: "I don't really like this style either."
"I knew it! The boss is just like me!"
Jia Zhengyi smiled and winked, joking. He naturally understood Su Lin. The boss looked fierce and ruthless, definitely not a decent person, but he also had his own bottom line and principles when doing things.
In Jia Zhengyi's view, Su Lin is a typical believer in strength, who respects the strong, but he doesn't go so far as to bully the weak and lose all humanity.
But the evil people here are different. Some of the cruel things they do are no longer for strength or profit; they are more about inflicting pain and pleasure, which is very dirty.
While the two were talking, Xiao Linlin, who was standing next to them, frowned and remained silent.
Su Lin noticed her unusual behavior and turned to ask, "Linlin, what's on your mind?"
"not yet."
Xiao Linlin shook her head: "I just feel something is strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like the people here are possessed."
"How could a normal human social group undergo such drastic and completely contradictory changes in just a few years?"
"Even if evil paths flourish, intelligent beings living in the world already have their own worldview, and it would take at least one or two generations to reverse it, but things are changing too fast here."
Xiao Linlin pondered the details of the world's changes, while Jia Zhengyi, stroking his chin beside her, said, "Could it be due to the mechanism? After all, this thing is pretty powerful; it can control whoever it wants. Look at me, I'm being controlled, aren't I?"
"Hey boss, I'm not saying I'm disloyal, I'm just using myself as an example."
Jia Zhengyi explained with a smile that he knew Su Lin wouldn't care too much about these things.
"It might be due to the mechanism, but is it to increase the pressure of escape?"
Xiao Linlin thought about it and then gave up. This wasn't the main problem at the moment. She needed to focus more on the current mission, since the escape mission was quite difficult.
"What about the rest of the Sword Pavilion members?"
Xiao Linlin looked at Jia Zhengyi, who shook his head: "We haven't found them. I reckon it's definitely hopeless for the time being. Even the local evil sects can't find any remnants, so it's probably even harder for us to do it."
"Linlin, do you think that in the end we'll have to personally step forward and raise the banner of rebellion to attract the remaining righteous forces who are hiding?"
Jia Zhengyi asked Xiao Linlin for her opinion: "Or perhaps the boss himself leaked the news? After all, being Su Qingyang's son should be quite useful, right?"
"That's one way, but it won't work now; it's too risky."
Xiao Linlin shook her head and did not ask any more questions. She only instructed the two of them: "Brother, Radar, it seems that it will be difficult for us to complete this game quickly. We need to gather more information and find a good opportunity before we can start the mission."
“If necessary, we may have to hide here for several months, and the only problem at present is this guy Chu Mo.”
"I think we can put the escape mission on hold for now, and deal with Chu Mo, or even all the escapees from the evil faction."
Xiao Linlin pointed out the core of the problem: to carry out the escape mission more reliably, the biggest problem must be solved first.
Without Chu Mo and the survivors from the evil faction, there was naturally no one to do the escape mission. As long as no one pushed the mission forward, even if the righteous path was weak, Xiao Linlin was confident that she could slowly turn the situation around.
If one year isn't enough, try two years; if two years isn't enough, try three.
Anyway, once you escape, it will only take a maximum of 10 days, which won't delay your advancement in the game.
"Look, I said last night that we should kill Chu Mo first, and they still took my advice."
Jia Zhengyi was somewhat smug, while Xiao Linlin nodded helplessly: "Yes, it seems that the pace of the escape mission is difficult to control right now, so we can only try to solve the easier parts first."
"Now that the objective has been set, recall the personnel and devise a battle plan."
Su Lin made the final decision, stood up, and gestured for the two of them to leave together.
Jia Zhengyi threw down his chopsticks in a huff, muttering before leaving, "Pah, this is really awful! It's neither salty nor spicy, and it's terribly bland."
"It's not very tasty, but the food tastes very different in different game worlds, so I can understand it."
Xiao Linlin smiled. She hadn't had a chance to taste the food in her original body in this world last time, and this time, after a few bites, it still didn't quite suit her taste.
The three returned to their residence and used technology to recall the Pokémon, summarizing the information brought back by the three teams.
Xiao Linlin carefully assessed and pondered the information. The general intelligence was similar to what Jia Zhengyi had brought. Even with new details, she couldn't see any further help.
The difficulty of the escape mission remained flawless, as if the system was determined to cause trouble and deliberately put Su Lin in such a difficult situation.
"Linlin, are you ready?"
Su Lin glanced at the sky outside the window: "It's getting dark. You've been thinking about this for a long time."
This time, Xiao Linlin took an exceptionally long time to think.
"The battle plan? It's ready... I'm just thinking about something else."
Xiao Linlin raised her head, a rare look of fatigue on her face, which made Su Lin feel a little sorry for her. He rubbed her head and comforted her, "Even the most difficult tasks need to be done by someone. There's always a way out. At worst, we'll fail, but we're not afraid of failure."
"It's not a task; it's not actually that difficult. We have many other options."
Xiao Linlin shook her head, snuggled into Su Lin's arms, and whispered, "Brother, I feel like something's not right, the more I think about it, the more wrong it seems."
Something's not right.
"I don't know, I've forgotten."
Xiao Linlin murmured in his arms, her childish voice somewhat confused: "I feel like I've forgotten something very important, something extremely important, and it must be obvious that I shouldn't have forgotten it."
"But I just can't remember."
