Chapter 308 Hide and Seek, Stewing Stewed Meat
Ji Xinghan quickly took out another piece of jade.
This is the jade connection made between Madam Yingyue and her assistant, Niu Ma.
Niu Ma sent a message: "Madam, everyone outside is saying that you spread the virus. How is that possible? If it weren't for controlling the number of viruses in the world, you wouldn't have done this. Isn't that right, Chong Yue?"
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed; finally, news had arrived from Niu Ma.
She immediately replied, "Why Chongyue?"
Niu Ma: "Madam, there's something I haven't told you yet. Master Chongyue set up a laboratory specifically to study viruses and raised a group of poison messengers, planning to spread the virus. I just didn't expect that his plan would be brought forward!"
Ji Xinghan: "Are you sure it's him?"
Niu Ma: "Who else could it be but him? I also know that his lab is faking it..."
Before the ox and horse could finish speaking, they let out a gasp.
Ji Xinghan was shocked and quickly asked, "The Heartless Forest?"
Ox and Horse: "No!"
Then there was silence. Ji Xinghan asked several times, "What's wrong?"
The message disappeared without a trace, never to be answered again.
Ji Xinghan frowned deeply. This was bad, very bad!
All indications suggest that Master Chongyue was responsible for spreading the virus, disrupting public opinion, and framing Yingyue.
However, there is no concrete evidence yet.
This can't go on. With new virus types being released one after another, players simply can't handle it.
We still need to deal with Master Chongyue directly!
So, what exactly does Master Chongyue want to do when he stews meat?
No, I have to steal the stewed meat and study it. This way, I can at least hinder Master Chongyue.
But what if Yuanbao gets dragged into this?
Ji Xinghan was caught in a dilemma.
"Sister, sister, where are you? Yuanbao can't find you, waaaah!" Yuanbao cried under the tree.
Ji Xinghan quickly jumped down from the tree and said, "Haha, Yuanbao found me! You're amazing!"
Yuanbao was overjoyed and jumped into Ji Xinghan's arms: "Hehe, sister, I knew you'd be here!"
She pouted, "Ugh, this is so annoying! Grandma said it's a sin to deliver stewed meat to that bad uncle, but if I don't deliver it, I'll break my promise. Grandma is very unhappy. She said if the stewed meat gets lost, she'll have an excuse not to deliver it..."
Um?
Ji Xinghan looked at Yuanbao, and a thought struck him.
The operation went exceptionally smoothly, both in searching for Yuanbao and in gathering information from him.
It went so smoothly it was unbelievable.
Especially when she tries to get information out of him, she almost always gets a satisfactory answer, and Yuanbao can even reveal more information than she wants.
Is it just a coincidence?
No, it's not a coincidence!
Yuanbao proactively revealed a lot of information, and just now even hinted at...
Ji Xinghan said casually, "Oh dear, what if the stewed meat gets lost and the bad uncle blames you and Grandma?"
Yuanbao blinked his big eyes: "Huh? Why is he blaming me? If he hadn't insisted that Grandma bring the stewed meat, the meat wouldn't have been lost! How could a little kid like me possibly protect the meat? Besides, Grandma isn't someone to be trifled with, he wouldn't dare!"
Ji Xinghan felt relieved.
Understood!
She deliberately yawned: "Little Yuanbao, I'm tired. How about we play together again next time?"
She also thoughtfully brought out several small cakes, saying, "Come back and eat them with your grandma!"
"Okay, sister!" Yuanbao happily hugged the cake and ran off.
Only after Yuanbao's figure disappeared did Ji Xinghan quietly return with Wangzai and Dingdang.
Da Bai was squatting in the yard. When he saw Ji Xinghan and the others, he immediately turned around and ran to the back of the house.
Ji Xinghan jumped over the fence.
Yuanbao's courtyard was small, with some vegetables growing in it. There were five small houses in total. Ji Xinghan knew that Yuanbao lived in the house on the far right. Yuanbao should live on the far right because there were signs at the entrances.
There are three more rooms; the stew should be in one of them!
Ji Xinghan pushed open the door in the center of the room and went inside.
This should be the living room; it's clean and tidy. After entering the living room, she pushed open the door on the left and saw a small storage room, while the kitchen was on the right.
The kitchen has many cabinets, and windows are located at both the front and back.
Ji Xinghan opened and closed each cabinet one by one, finally finding a large piece of fragrant stewed meat in the cabinet next to the back window.
The stewed meat was round, and a quarter of it was missing; it was placed in a bowl.
Ji Xinghan and Jiang Youyou asked for a small basin, took all the stewed meat, put it in, and then covered the basin.
"Coo coo...chirp?" Big White curiously poked its head in, saw Ji Xinghan, immediately closed its eyes, shrank its head, and lowered its body.
Pretend you didn't see it!
Ji Xinghan: ...
Their cooperation touched her deeply!
After stealing the meat, Ji Xinghan rushed out the door, jumped over the fence, ran to the nearby woods, and said to Jiang Youyou, "Pull me up!"
She made it back to the RV safely.
She opened the stew:
[Grandma Yuanbao's Stewed Meat: Stewed meat made with special seasonings and a special simmering process, fragrant and delicious. After eating it, combined with relevant skills, one can disguise themselves as the player or NPC they wish to become, generally for 1-5 hours!]
[Caution: Beware of poisoning!]
I see!
Ji Xinghan suddenly understood.
Master Chongyue should use this virus, combined with his own skills, to disguise himself as Lady Yingyue or Master Luye!
The Lady Yingyue that players saw before was probably Chongyue in disguise!
The purpose is to frame and fabricate evidence!
At that time, she used the skill "I can still eat" to consume stewed meat and successfully disguised herself as a very handsome man.
Now, the stewing function has been upgraded, and it can probably disguise itself as anyone you want.
I just don't know if it will work when combined with the "I can still eat" skill.
Ji Xinghan was filled with countless thoughts.
Arson squad member Lu Gan: "Damn it! Someone has discovered the whereabouts of Lady Yingyue and Master Luye, and they want to kill them!"
Ji Xinghan quickly checked the chat channel, and sure enough, the players were in a state of high spirits:
"It was clearly Lady Yingyue who released the poison, why haven't you taken action yet?"
"That's right! Someone saw Lady Yingyue outside the Forest of Despair with Luye. She seemed very weak. If we can hold Luye off, and everyone works together, we can kill her!"
Why did Lady Yingyue suddenly become so weak?
"I don't know, but she looks half-dead and can't even stand up. Go kill her! If you kill her, no one will be able to spread the virus!"
Jian Lin: "Why do you all believe that Lady Yingyue spread the virus?"
Du Ruoming: "Jian Lin, you can't see all these videos, right?"
Jian Lin: "Are just two videos enough to prove it's Lady Yingyue?"
Du Ruoming: "Heh, who else could it be but her? Which virus doesn't have her shadow? She's a jinx!"
Long Shisan: "If Ji Xinghan hadn't gone down the wrong path with the mission..."
Yang Tingxue: "Hey, what's with Thirteen? Stop accusing people every day, okay? The other servers are even more chaotic than ours, with viruses flying everywhere. Some of them are doing Task A, and their situation is even more complicated than ours, with more viruses than we have here!"
Jian Lin: "Yeah, there were clearly far more deaths in other districts!"
She messaged Ji Xinghan privately: "Xiaohan, we've been watching Master Chongyue and recorded a video, but something seems off. We're not sure if we should release it now. Could you take a look?"
