Zhang Xiaotong: "What nonsense are you talking about? My father and Ms. Zhang have been friends for twenty years. They also have a lot of business dealings and their economic interests are closely linked. It is impossible for Ms. Zhang to break ties with my father."
Mao Yongheng said anxiously, "If you ask me, if that Ms. Zhang really cares about her twenty-year friendship with your father, she should release us now. What your father negotiated with her... I'm afraid..."
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he felt that Ms. Zhang would never let them leave.
Sigh, I have to say, he was right.
He suddenly remembered the conversation among several veteran bodyguards who had worked there for some time when he returned from the hunt and entered the villa.
He said, "Xiao Tong, did you notice what those bodyguards at the door said when we came back?"
Zhang Xiaotong asked curiously, "What did they say?" She hadn't really paid attention at the time.
Mao Yongheng: "A bodyguard said that anyone above level two has a stronger soul, and our ordinary bodies are relatively weak, so they simply cannot withstand such a strong soul. The moment we return to our bodies is the moment we die."
Zhang Xiaotong exclaimed in horror, "How is that possible? Where did you hear all this nonsense?"
Mao Yongheng: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that Ms. Zhang probably never intended to give any of the people in this group a way out."
Zhang Xiaotong: "But what good would it do her to kill so many people?"
Her question was exactly the same question that Li Shuangshuang had asked Chu Nian, just like a curious child.
Chu Nian laughed and said, "Because there is a soul-devouring spell in witchcraft, which allows one to maintain eternal youth by devouring the souls of others. The game creator is just using this game to nourish souls, and once these souls are fat enough, she can eat them."
Her words, though seemingly casual, were actually delivered using a telepathic technique, allowing not only everyone in the villa to hear them clearly, but also those thousands of miles away.
The game's system has been breached by hackers found by Lan Dian and others. With Chu Nian's hacking skills, neither the firewalls nor any other restrictions can hold her back.
Therefore, she can already use many spells.
As for how Lan Dian and the others got out, they naturally went through that level 120 Awakening. The infant soul behind him would only stay in this world for a few hours before being sent back to its original body.
Chu Nian hid the spatial artifact that Lan Dian and the others were hiding, which could contain living beings, inside this infant soul, and then the infant soul took it out.
Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong, who were whispering in the room, were both shocked when they heard her words.
Mao Yongheng grabbed Zhang Xiaotong's arm and shook it violently, his voice trembling as he said, "Xiaotong, did you hear that? It turns out that Ms. Zhang lured us souls here just to eat our souls!"
Zhang Xiaotong impatiently shook off his hand and said, "That's impossible. I've known Ms. Zhang for a long time. She's a very beautiful and elegant woman. How could she possibly eat the souls of the living?" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that she had seen this Ms. Zhang when she was a child, but all these years had passed, and Ms. Zhang's appearance seemed to have hardly changed!
She has always maintained her youth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaotong's heart sank: Could what Liu Nian said be true? That's impossible. How could Liu Nian know so much? She had known Ms. Zhang since childhood. In terms of wealth and sources of information, she was far superior to Liu Nian. She couldn't possibly lose to Liu Nian in this regard.
So she forcefully suppressed her rising suspicions and said to Mao Yongheng, "Yongheng, think about it, have you known Liu Nian for very long?"
Mao Yongheng said, "I dated her when I was in college, and we've known each other for several years now, so it's not a short time."
Zhang Xiaotong asked, "Having known her for so long, have you noticed anything about her that's different from others?"
Mao Yongheng thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Zhang Xiaotong laughed and said, "Look, she's just an ordinary person, just like us, no, to be precise, an ordinary player who's even less capable than us. How does she know all this? In my opinion, she must have made it all up, it's all just her imagination."
Mao Yongheng asked in surprise, "Imagination?"
Zhang Xiaotong said, "That's right. Think about it, we've been here for so long, have you ever heard of that 'awakening'?"
Mao Yongheng shook his head.
Zhang Xiaotong: "Yes, we've been here for so long and we've never heard of this. Liu Nian has only been here for a month, how did she know?"
Mao Yongheng frowned and sighed helplessly, "Yes, I feel that she... she seems to be a different Liu Nian than before."
Haha, I have to say, this person is right again.
He continued, "Maybe she has some special connections. Look, Zhao Feiyang seems to dislike everyone, but he's especially nice to her..." As he said this, he felt particularly uncomfortable, as if something that was clearly his had been taken by someone else.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Zhang Xiaotong noticed the bitterness on his face and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Really? In my opinion, Zhao Feiyang is already a done deal, he's not going to live. He's kinder to Liu Nian than to others, I guess it's because they're in the same boat!"
Didn't you notice the system information about Liu Nian's bug? She's a contract player. I've been here for almost a year, and I've never seen a contract player survive for more than two months.
Mao Yongheng pondered for a moment and said, "You mean Zhao Feiyang just pities her? But how did she know so much?"
Zhang Xiaotong hurriedly said, "Didn't I say that she made all those things up? She doesn't actually know anything. She's just saying that to get others to give up hunting her down."
Mao Yongheng thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'll go ask her." With that, he got up, opened the door, and went out.
Zhang Xiaotong reached out to grab him, but he was too fast, and she only managed to grab nothing. She paused for a moment, watching the figure disappear through the doorway, and the bitter look on Mao Yongheng's face flashed before her eyes again: it seemed that this scumbag had developed some fantasies about Liu Nian again?
Zhang Xiaotong gritted her teeth in hatred: she should have known better. A scumbag is a scumbag. How could he possibly be devoted to her? All that effort she had put into planning their future together had turned out to be nothing but a mirage.
Zhang Xiaotong was only stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her composure and following suit as she went out.
