Chapter 148 The Apocalypse Manor 46 (Part 2)
"Oh no, it's over!" you exclaim in your mind.
"You suspect they might have used robots to scan you and found out you were an anomaly, given the precedent of someone being scanned as an otherworldly soul."
"These people are sometimes smart and sometimes stupid."
"In order to extend the simulation time, you proactively explain your identity."
"Let's talk this out. If you can use words, don't resort to violence. Put this away first. I mean you no harm," you said with a forced smile.
"Then, you returned to your original appearance, with the looks and voice of Wen Qi."
"Actually, I came here on Dongzhen's behalf. I'm also the benefactor that Si Han and the others mentioned earlier. However, my younger brother went back first, so I stayed behind for the time being." You started making up a story with a straight face.
"I made a deal with Dongzhen in another world, agreeing to help you deal with the supernatural beings. But I need to scout things out beforehand to see if you're worth making a deal with me, right? After all, I am the superhuman Dongzhen mentioned. If I help you, how will you repay me? It seems our needs are somewhat unequal."
Upon hearing this, Jiaqi struggled to suppress his excitement and calmly asked, "You claim to be a superhuman, what proof do you have? Can you really deal with supernatural beings? What kind of deal do you want with us? How can we trust you?"
"He throws out a series of questions, just like you would have a series of questions you want answered."
"Under Jiaqi's questioning, you stretched out a hand, and a purple bolt of lightning slowly condensed in your palm."
"Show them, 'This is your superpower, a lightning-based superpower.'"
"Even if I can't deal with it, there are many superhumans on the planet I teleported to who are more powerful than me. They might be able to help you deal with the supernatural beings, but the prerequisite is that you find a way to invite them over."
"The forbidden land of the Doomsday Manor instance will not give the people there much time. If they can deal with the monsters on Crimson Star, and Crimson Star can accommodate more people, then those people can be teleported here through the trading network. It might not be a bad thing for both sides."
"However, they need to discuss these things themselves. You are just pointing them in a direction and giving them another option."
"Dealing with a demigod-level behemoth is not so simple, even for a demigod-level ability user."
"Fortunately, you didn't see any Blue Star within the binding range on the trading network."
"This means that Blue Star is not connected to these planets, and it also means that you cannot teleport here through the trading network, and the Shadow Gate cannot be used during the polar day."
You paused, then began to explain: "I have a solution. If you're willing to grant me a small request—to borrow something so I can look up some information about myself—I'll tell you how."
"General, don't try to force me to say anything you want to hear. I truly mean no harm. I was able to infiltrate this place, and I can easily leave your City of Hope unscathed."
The two exchanged glances, then walked aside and spoke in hushed tones.
"Minister Yifan, as the operator of the robot, can this person's words be trusted?" Jiaqi asked in a low voice.
"Just like in the last simulation, they seemed to be unable to whisper, or perhaps your five senses were enhanced, and without exception, everything they said entered your ears."
"We cannot detect whether she is lying; we do not have the authority to perform verbal analysis," Minister Yifan replied, half-covering his mouth.
"But this body doesn't feel like hers either; the body and soul come from two different places."
"Can souls be detected? Could it be a human being being manipulated by some strange force?" Jiaqi asked anxiously, a hint of panic in his voice.
