Chapter 332 Investigation and Appraisal
Ji Xinghan put his hands behind his back and slowly walked over, imitating Master Chongyue's steps.
Du Ruoming, dressed in black with his face covered by a black cloth, held a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) in his hand and looked silently at the more than 20 people in front of him.
The 20 people had blank expressions; they were all players, and they remained motionless, seemingly doing nothing.
Ji Xinghan slowly approached. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and quickly bowed, saying, "Master."
Ji Xinghan nodded slowly and raised his hand: "Give me the suona!"
Du Ruoming hesitated for a moment before handing over the suona.
Ji Xinghan touched it; the suona was very ordinary, much rougher than the other one. It was hard to imagine that this suona had such magic.
She picked up the suona, wiped it clean, and wanted to play it.
Du Ruoming was shocked: "Master, no!"
Ji Xinghan asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Du Ruoming quickly stepped back a few paces, looked around, and said, "Master, we can't be exposed. How did you get here like this? And what if someone discovers you're playing the suona?"
No response?
Why is there no response?
Ji Xinghan silently noted it down and said, "It's alright, there's no one around."
Qi Xiangxiang hid it very well.
After saying that, he picked up the suona again, put it to his lips, and secretly observed Du Ruoming.
Du Ruoming sighed, took out a small white flower and tucked it into his sleeve, a faint fragrance wafting over.
Um?
poisonous?
Ji Xinghan's eyes flickered. She had taken the antidote pills that Lu Ye had given her beforehand, so she should be able to avoid it.
She played a tune, albeit haltingly, but the group of players below, who had been expressionless, immediately came to life, raising their weapons and shouting, "Protect Yingyue! Protect Yingyue!"
Protecting Yingyue?
Is Ji Xinghan confused?
She stopped playing the suona.
Du Ruoming whispered, "Master, you shouldn't be here. Leave quickly!"
Ji Xinghan touched the suona: "Yes, you must remember, the suona is just decoration, the one on your sleeve..."
Du Ruoming quickly said, "Master, we remember very clearly that the suona was just a means to frame Yingyue. In reality, it was the flowers in our hands that were tainted with the intoxicating fragrance that controlled those players."
Ji Xinghan was secretly delighted.
I finally know the secret of the suona!
I see!
She nodded, walked closer to the players who were still motionless, and used "Virus Identification".
[Virus identification!]
[The virus that infected player xxx is a rare hybrid virus, classified as Blue C level!]
[Treatment Method: 1 x Grade C blue potion, 1/2 x Grade A red potion, 3 x Grade A orange potion, plus 20 x Fresh Bamboo Leaves. Spray on the red camellia flowers to release their fragrance and detoxify!]
The treatment methods were so varied that Ji Xinghan was overwhelmed by the sheer number of options.
She quickly took a screenshot and wrote it down, then glanced back at Du Ruoming.
Du Ruoming quickly bowed in greeting.
Ji Xinghan left quickly.
She messaged Qi Xiangxiang privately: "Have you finished recording the video?"
Qi Xiangxiang responded: "Yes, completely, I can hear your conversation."
Ji Xinghan quickly took stock of the items. She had various colored potions and fresh bamboo leaves, but she didn't know where to find red camellia flowers.
She asked the arson squad a question.
Lu Gan said, "Red camellia? I think I've heard of it. Never mind, we'll go find it."
Luo Mingxin: "Yes, yes, Boss Ji, you can't always be the one doing the work. Leave all the unimportant things to us."
Lu Gan led his men to find red camellias.
At this point, the chat channel was in complete chaos:
"Kill Yingyue! Only by killing Yingyue can we eliminate the virus!"
"Yes, we must kill Yingyue!"
"We've already gathered quite a few players and are heading to the Valley of Heartbreak soon. If anyone's interested, feel free to join us!"
"Go to the Valley of Heartbreak and kill Yingyue!"
In just a short while, many more players have joined the team to kill Yingyue.
Song Zhuo: "Sigh, someone was stirring things up behind the scenes, and these players fell for it!"
Ji Xinghan had already guessed Master Chongyue's plan, but there was one thing she couldn't understand and still needed to confirm with someone.
When she reached the vicinity of the Valley of Heartbreak, she took out the golden ball that Master Chongyue had given her, tossed it into the air, and the golden ball spun around and flew forward.
Ji Xinghan followed, and after walking for less than half an hour, the golden ball spun around and landed.
"Huh?" someone exclaimed.
Ji Xinghan walked over, picked up the golden ball, and Zero One appeared in front of her with a "whoosh".
Lingyi, her face covered by a black cloth, stared at Ji Xinghan in shock: "My lord, what brings you here?"
Ji Xinghan interrupted him before he could finish, asking, "Are you ready?"
Zero nodded: "We're ready, sir. Don't worry, in 30 more minutes we'll be able to attack Yingyue. At that time, one group will surround Yingyue, while another group we control will protect it. The two sides will fight each other to the death, and many people will definitely die."
Zero One added, “We don’t have enough people under our control. Because of the poisoning, they will soon be exhausted. When that group attacks, Yingyue and Luye will go on a killing spree to save their lives. Our camp cannot kill outsiders without sufficient reason, at least not openly. The two of them will definitely be punished for breaking the rules.”
Ji Xinghan's eyes flashed.
Alright, now we know Chongyue's plan.
It turns out that the NPCs in their faction cannot kill players at will.
Violations will be subject to corresponding penalties!
No wonder!
But why are Yingyue and Luye fighting so desperately? Can they run away?
Unless, of course, they can't escape!
Ji Xinghan nodded and said to Zero One, "Okay, then my goal has been achieved!"
She added, "However, let's wait and not take action for now."
She didn't want the two groups of players to kill each other.
In particular, among the controlled players, there were quite a few people associated with Jiang Lingyue and Lu Gan.
She wanted to wait for Lu Gan to find the Camellia Society so that she could prepare the antidote.
Ling Yi was taken aback: "But, sir, didn't you just send someone to tell me to take action as soon as possible?"
Ji Xinghan was also stunned for a moment. Master Chongyue did indeed ask Gongsun Ban to deliver a message, but that was Gongsun Ban in disguise. Besides Gongsun Ban, Master Chongyue also asked someone else to deliver a message.
It makes sense, considering that Master Chongyue was worried that Gongsun Ban wouldn't be up to par, so he sent someone else to relay a message, wanting them to make their move ahead of time.
Ji Xinghan said coldly, "Something has changed. Let's wait and see!"
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Zero One to say anything.
She breathed a sigh of relief after quickly leaving and seeing that Zero One hadn't chased after her.
Ji Xinghan frowned deeply.
This is troublesome!
Zero One has now received the order to attack from Master Chongyue, and the siege is expected to begin soon. Those players are probably coming soon too.
A chaotic battle ensued, with both sides about to engage in mutual slaughter.
She simply didn't have enough time, and besides, she didn't know if Master Chongyue could be held back. If Master Chongyue arrived halfway through her operation, she would be exposed.
Never mind, let's impersonate Master Chongyue and do some bad things first!
