Two well-trained teams appeared in front of the museum in a grand manner.
They were dressed in identical black uniforms, fully armed with weapons, and stood ready.
In a corner unnoticed by them, several figures secretly sneaked out.
When they walked out of the encirclement of the two teams, the young man at the front stopped in his tracks.
The person beside him urged in a low voice, “Leader Song, what’s wrong? Let’s leave here quickly.”
The young man squinted at the dignified and solemn team behind the., his eyes rolled in their sockets, and then a malicious smile appeared on his face. “We’ve already got all the answers, what’s there to fear? Now is the perfect opportunity, wouldn’t it be a waste not to do something?”
Someone asked, “Leader Song, what do you want to do? Deal with Bai Lixin? Have you forgotten the rules of the game? You’re not allowed to harm players, otherwise, you’ll be punished. We had the upper hand when we sent him to prison before, what else do you want to do now?”
The young man chuckled, ”If I can send him in once, can’t I send him in a second time?”
“All the commotion in the museum just now was caused by him. The scene he caused in the museum has already attracted the attention of the authorities, he can’t escape. Even if he’s powerful and can’t be killed, he’ll be uncomfortable all day.”
Someone spoke up uncertainly, “Are you saying we’ll go and report him together?”
The young man nodded, “Yes. But we can’t all go, otherwise it’ll be too deliberate. Pick three or four people to come forward, just say you saw him acting suspiciously on the road and secretly followed him here. Didn’t they say there’s a ruthless warden in the suburban prison? We don’t need to say much, just point it out, and someone else will do the rest. We can’t harm him, but NPCs can, right?”
“But didn’t he just escape from there?”
The young man: “Isn’t that even better? The prisoner who escaped is delivered right in front of them, how do you think that warden will torture him?”
Everyone looked at each other and stopped saying anything more.
They didn’t refute, which was equivalent to acquiescing to the young man’s decision.
———————————–
In the live broadcast room.
[Wow, as expected, as long as they’re shameless enough, no one can hurt them.]
[A person is invincible when completely shameless.]
[Although ‘all’s fair in war,’ this is too infuriating. After getting the answer from someone else, they turned around to bite them. Aren’t they ashamed?]
[They’re conspiring openly in the live broadcast room, they probably don’t care if we scold them.]
——————————–
The more the young man thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was perfect.
He wasn’t afraid even if Bai Lixin found out, what could he do even if he did? If Bai Lixin dared to lay a hand on him, Bai Lixin himself would be finished.
He was justifiably using the rules, even if the King of Heaven came, he couldn’t harm him.
As he praised himself in his heart, the young man began to wander among the group, intending to select the right people to provide clues about Bai Lixin.
“You.” The young man raised his hand, pointing at one of the players, then his finger moved quickly, pointing at two more people. “And you, you, the three of you come with me…”
As he spoke, his gaze casually swept through the crowd.
Suddenly, his gaze extended backward and stopped at a certain corner. There was a hint of astonishment in his eyes, and his voice abruptly stopped.
Others immediately noticed his abnormality and turned their heads to follow the young man’s gaze.
At the entrance of the dark alley, two black and white scarecrows were drifting close to them.
When the young man used the crystal ball earlier, Bai Lixin had already crushed the black feathers, so they didn’t see Bai Lixin summoning these monsters with their own eyes.
But from Bai Lixin’s subsequent interactions with these monsters, they could also guess that these monsters had a close connection with Bai Lixin.
They listened to Bai Lixin.
With them here, it meant Bai Lixin was definitely here too.
Some thin skinned players already felt embarrassed.
One moment they were conspiring to harm others, the next moment the person appeared behind them.
It felt really awkward, like being caught red handed gossiping behind someone’s back.
But the embarrassment was only for a few people, and it lasted only a few seconds, just passing through their minds.
The eight people immediately stood on a united front, watching the endless dark alley vigilantly.
“Bai Lixin, since you’re here, don’t hide like a turtle, come out quickly,” the young man shouted boldly toward the dark alley.
The two scarecrows holding pitchforks silently floated closer, getting closer and closer to them.
They made no sound, the wide sleeves and cloaks tied to their bodies swaying in the wind, the pitchforks in their hands sharp and pointed, looking very terrifying.
But the players weren’t very afraid.
These monsters were created by Bai Lixin and are connected to him. If Bai Lixin commands them to attack, it’s equivalent to Bai Lixin’s subjective intention, and he will also be punished.
They didn’t believe Bai Lixin would do kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.
The eight people didn’t choose to run away because, after all, there were eight of them, while Bai Lixin was alone, and there was another unfamiliar player whose allegiance was uncertain.
If eight people ran away from one person, they would be ridiculed in the live broadcast room, and they would never be able to hold their heads up again.
Several players simply took out handy props and gathered around the young man.
Faint footsteps echoed in the dark alley, catching the attention of several players. Their subconscious gaze was drawn away, so they didn’t notice the black and white scarecrows approaching them and coldly raising their pitchforks.
It wasn’t until the pitchforks sliced through the air that the players reacted, and hurriedly scurried backwards to avoid it.
The players all avoided the pitchfork attacks, but they didn’t expect the two pitchforks to suddenly bend in mid-air, and the sharp spikes pierced through the stomachs of two players on either side without warning, directly lifting them up and throwing them into the air.
Two painful screams rang out, followed by the thunderous sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground.
The two players were thrown to the ground unprepared, and were already gasping for air.
After flinging the players away, the black and white scarecrows turned back to the six remaining players and raised their pitchforks again, like two emotionless killing machines.
The previously confident players suddenly felt a chill, and a sense of unease rose from the soles of their feet.
At the cost of two lives, they finally realized that these two scarecrows were serious.
Although their reaction was a little slow, the remaining six quickly drew out their weapons and fought the black and white scarecrows.
Without two combatants and the suddenness of the attack, the other six seemed to be struggling.
The strength of the black and white scarecrows could be ranked as S-level. In ordinary copies, they were already boss-level monsters, but these eight players were no fuel efficient lamps.
Normally, the black and white scarecrows wouldn’t have been able to easily injure two people, but they had been careless just now.
The joy of obtaining the long-awaited answer, the confidence in trapping Bai Lixin, and the blind confidence in the rules had led to a major flaw.
In a duel between experts, even a second of vulnerability could be fatal.
And they had lost two helpers for nothing.
While it would have been challenging for the black and white scarecrows to fight against eight people, they were now well matched against six.
On one side were the unified black and white scarecrows.
On the other side was a group of six people who were improvised and had no tacit understanding of their cooperation.
The gap in their fighting abilities gradually widened.
The young man tripped over someone and staggered back a few steps, giving the black scarecrow an opening to strike down.
Just as the pitchfork was about to fall, the young man instinctively grabbed something nearby to block it.
A shrill scream rang out, and when the young man regained his senses, he realized what he had grabbed.
He had pushed a player forward to shield himself.
The pitchfork pierced the player’s chest, and the black scarecrow effortlessly flung the player aside. Its actions were cold and merciless, like a fisherman skewering fish. In their eyes, it was as if it was just skewering fish from the river, one after another.
The young man suddenly felt bad.
A chill ran down his spine, and his gaze quickly scanned the battlefield.
Once he confirmed that the attention of the people and monsters around him was not on him, the young man quickly turned around and ran toward the darkness.
Crazy! Bai Lixin was crazy!
He actually wanted them all to die together?!
He didn’t want to die, he wanted to live and leave this cursed place.
The arrival of that person had given them new hope. His long-awaited wish was about to come true, how could he lose his life in this cursed place?
When he thought of this, a surge of excitement bubbled up in the young man’s heart.
That person had promised them that whoever could personally kill Bai Lixin would receive a substantial reward.
He couldn’t stop Bai Lixin from seeking death. Now that he ordered the black and white scarecrows to act, he wouldn’t survive either.
Wasn’t he the one who killed Bai Lixin?
He already had the answer to the task question. As long as he persisted for one more day, he could return to the game lobby.
His good days were still ahead of him!
Joy was like a waterfall, pouring down from his head and washing over the young man’s heart.
He ran in the opposite direction. Seeing that he was getting further and further away from the battle field, the joy in the young man’s heart became even greater.
He took out an invisibility card from his backpack. Just as he was about to use it, a strange gust of wind blew down from above.
The young man instinctively looked up.
A round black furball extended its thin legs and charged down toward him like a meteor.
With a muffled “bang”, the unprepared young man was kicked five meters away, landing back in the battlefield he had just escaped from.
As he struggled to get up from the ground, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. He didn’t dare to move and just knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
The battle was drawing to a close, with players lying on the ground and groaning in pain.
At this moment, footsteps echoed in the alley.
Bai Lixin, who had not shown himself before, finally emerged from the alley.
Two men followed him, one on each side.
One was the expressionless player, Lin Xiao.
The other had a grayish complexion, with “I want to escape” written all over his face.
Dr. Garner felt he might have been a bit ungrateful.
He even wondered if he had some special fetish he hadn’t discovered.
Why was it that the people he admired, one was more abnormal and more fierce than the other?
Looking at the people writhing and wailing on the ground, he suddenly felt…
It was a good thing that X and the warden got together.
This was too terrifying!
If he really dated X in the future, he wouldn’t dare to argue with him!
Wouldn’t he cut off his head when he angered him?
He couldn’t afford to provoke him.
He wished them a hundred years of happiness!
Dr. Garner touched his neck nervously and obediently stood behind Bai Lixin, like a primary school chick just entering kindergarten.
Bai Lixin stepped over the rolling players on the ground and approached the young man. He looked down at the young man and sized him up, “So, it’s you, Song Yun.”
Song Yun adjusted his expression to appear harmless and kind. He half-knelt on the ground and smiled at Bai Lixin, “Yes, it’s me. What a coincidence that we meet again. It’s really fate.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Song Yun, he had encountered him in the mermaid laboratory copy before.
At that time, he, Xia Chi, Lin Xiao, and the present Song Yun formed a temporary team and investigated the mermaid laboratory together.
At that time, Song Yun acted as a shy boy who blushed whenever he spoke, and he was even a fan of his.
If he really was a fan, he was a black fan.
Later, Song Yun’s true colors were exposed, and he simply stopped pretending.
Until the end of the copy, he and Song Yun never met again. However, he knew that Song Yun didn’t die in the copy and successfully left.
He didn’t expect to met him in another copy so soon.
The other party was still using the same old tricks, playing these conspiracies with him again.
Bai Lixin looked at Song Yun, “It seems selling out teammates is your standard procedure. In the mermaid laboratory, you sold me, Lin Xiao, and Xia Chi out, and now you’re selling them out again. I let you go back then, but I didn’t expect you to come to me on your own. Do you really think you’re a cat with nine lives?”
Song Yun looked at Bai Lixin and then at Lin Xiao, then frowned, “Don’t slander me.”
“I did indeed trick you in the mermaid laboratory, but it was for the task. I have no grudge against you, blame yourself for provoking the wrong person.”
“I also tricked Xia Chi incidentally, but it was because he was with you.”
“But the Lin Xiao you mentioned, I don’t know him at all. Don’t frame me.”
“I admit I’m not a good person, but I won’t take the blame for things I didn’t do.”
Bai Lixin nodded towards Lin Xiao, “Don’t you know him?”
Song Yun didn’t know what Bai Lixin was up to, but he still looked at Lin Xiao seriously for a moment, “I’ve seen him. There are ten players in this copy. Besides us eight, the remaining two are you, Bai Lixin, and this person.”
Bai Lixin tilted his head, “Don’t you remember seeing him in other copies?”
Song Yun pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully, “He’s not a celebrity. How could I remember?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
It seemed that people forgetting Lin Xiao was permanent, even if they entered a copy again and saw Lin Xiao in person, it wouldn’t evoke any memories.
He couldn’t tell If this was Lin Xiao’s trait or some kind of punishment.
No matter where he appeared or what he did, he wouldn’t leave any traces behind.
Someone once said.
Human death has three stages.
The disappearance of the body is the first stage.
Being mourned by acquaintances is the second stage, also known as the social death stage.
When the last person who knows you leaves, no one in the world would remember your existence. This is the third stage, also the final stage.
Lin Xiao himself hadn’t disappeared yet, but memories of him didn’t exist.
He hadn’t died, but it was almost as if he had.
It seems like his existence was superfluous.
The more he interacted with Lin Xiao, the more mysterious he found him to be. It seemed like every part of him had a secret, making one can’t help but want to find out.
“Bai Lixin,” Song Yun’s voice carried a hint of flattery, “please let me go. I know you’re a good person, different from those monsters. Your fans call you ‘God Xin ’ and say you’re like a warm fire illuminating and warming them. Your guild is called ‘Core Fire Guild,’ and people even made up a phrase for you, ‘A spark can start a prairie fire.’”
“Someone like you, who enjoys saving others, shouldn’t dirty your hands with my blood. Let’s call a truce. I promise you, after this copy ends… no, even in the future, I won’t come looking for trouble.”
“Okay?”
It sounded like a negotiation, but there wasn’t much sincerity in his voice.
After the brief moment of fear, Song Yun had quickly calmed down.
These two black-and-white scarecrows seemed cunning and ruthless, but they had both avoided vital points, and not a single player had died.
If these two monsters really had murderous intentions, they wouldn’t just be lying on the ground like this.
Bai Lixin was indeed a kind person who wouldn’t kill.
But he had to give Bai Lixin a way out, and by showing weakness, he could make the other party step back.
One shouldn’t push too hard; it was wise to know when to stop. He understood this tactic well, a hero shouldn’t suffer losses.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Lixin calmly, confident that Bai Lixin wouldn’t dare to kill.
“Are you mistaken about something?” A sharp voice came from above him, and then the little black furry monster that had kicked him before floated in front of him. “It wasn’t Bai Lixin who ordered them to attack, it was me.”
“Furthermore, I don’t like you very much and want to just kill you now.”
As it spoke, Song Yun immediately felt the sharp blade on his neck approaching, and a sharp pain emanated from his neck as a warm, sticky sensation slowly slid down his neck.
Song Yun was stunned for a moment.
He realized something and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
It seemed he had been wrong from the beginning!
If it was an order from the black furry monster, then it might have nothing to do with Bai Lixin at all!
So Bai Lixin wouldn’t be implicated at all, and he could leave this copy safely.
Not only that, if it wasn’t an order from Bai Lixin.
Then his situation was precarious.
Monsters won’t reason or play emotional cards. If they wanted to kill him, they could do it at any time!
It was chaos, all chaos.
All the beautiful fantasies collapsed at this moment, completely shattered.
Song Yun knelt on the ground in embarrassment, his body limp, as if the sky had collapsed at that moment.
Suddenly, a flash flickered in his mind, and he looked up at Bai Lixin abruptly, his eyes filled with urgency. “Bai Lixin, they’re not like us. They are merciless but they haven’t killed us. It must be because you persuaded them, right?”
“I can tell that they listen to you very much. If you speak up, they’ll definitely listen. You’re a good person, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch fellow humans be killed by monsters, right? Please persuade them to let me go, okay?”
The little black furry monster suddenly floated in front of Song Yun and slapped him across the face with its small paw.
“Monster? Monster? You’re the monster!”
“Every “monster” from your mouth really annoys this lord! You’re asking for death, brat.”
Song Yun’s face turned to the side, and the sharp blade pierced his neck again.
There was an intense pain in his neck and a burning sensation on his face.
With a single slap from the black furry monster, Song Yun was stunned and awakened.
He finally realized that his life was now in someone else’s hands and he no longer had the final say.
Song Yun’s eyes were panicked, and the expression on his face was no longer as calm as before.
His features gradually twisted, and his lips trembled slightly. He looked up at Bai Lixin and wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth.
Then he looked at the little black furry monster and asked tentatively: “Master, I apologize to you. It was my fault just now. What do you… want?”
The little black furry monster snorted and rolled its eyes, the whites of its eyes almost reaching the sky.
It glared at Song Yun and landed lightly on Bai Lixin’s shoulder, “Hey, Bai Lixin, what do you want?”
Song Yun’s body froze: “…”
‘You just said that you are not following Bai Lixin’s orders!
What are you doing conspiring right in front of me?!’
Bai Lixin: “I want to know information about members of the Shentian Guild.”
Song Yun’s pupils shrank violently.
The little black furry monster leaned on Bai Lixin’s neck and crossed his legs, shouting at Song Yun: “Did you hear that? Tell me the information about the Shentian Guild. President, Vice President, what do you know? Just say whatever you say, and the more detailed you are, the better your chances of saving your life.”
Song Yun’s expression was tangled. He looked at Bai Lixin and the little black furry monster in front of him with complicated eyes. He bit his lips for a long time before finally saying through gritted teeth, “I can’t say.”
The little monster pointed at him condescendingly. “So, you don’t want to live?”
Song Yun looked agonized. “Even if you want to kill me, I still can’t say. If I reveal the information about the guild leaders and vice-leaders, I’ll be considered a traitor to the Shentian Guild. Not only will they kick me out of the guild, but I’ll also be hunted down like crazy. At that time, I would be better off dead. I can’t betray the Shentian Guild.”
Bai Lixin: “It seems that the methods of the Godsend Guild are scarier than death.”
He looked up at the empty sky and said, “At this moment, there should be many people watching our live broadcast, right?”
“The Little Overlord should be watching, right?”
“The president and members of the Shentian Guild should also be watching, right?”
“There are also allies of the Shentian Guild.”
He waved his hand towards the sky, showing a polite and gentle smile. Like a young master dressed in silk, elegant yet composed. “Hello, to the audience in front of the live broadcast.”
This sentence seemed to carry some kind of meaning, and Song Yun suddenly panicked.
He looked at Bai Lixin with fear in his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, “What… what do you want to do?”
Bai Lixin gestured to the little black furry monster, “You’re so clever, can’t you guess?”
Song Yun: “…”
‘I’m doomed!’
Two well-trained teams appeared in front of the museum in a grand manner.
They were dressed in identical black uniforms, fully armed with weapons, and stood ready.
In a corner unnoticed by them, several figures secretly sneaked out.
When they walked out of the encirclement of the two teams, the young man at the front stopped in his tracks.

The young man chuckled, ”If I can send him in once, can’t I send him in a second time?”
“All the commotion in the museum just now was caused by him. The scene he caused in the museum has already attracted the attention of the authorities, he can’t escape. Even if he’s powerful and can’t be killed, he’ll be uncomfortable all day.”
Someone spoke up uncertainly, “Are you saying we’ll go and report him together?”
The young man nodded, “Yes. But we can’t all go, otherwise it’ll be too deliberate. Pick three or four people to come forward, just say you saw him acting suspiciously on the road and secretly followed him here. Didn’t they say there’s a ruthless warden in the suburban prison? We don’t need to say much, just point it out, and someone else will do the rest. We can’t harm him, but NPCs can, right?”
“But didn’t he just escape from there?”

At that time, Song Yun acted as a shy boy who blushed whenever he spoke, and he was even a fan of his.
If he really was a fan, he was a black fan.
Later, Song Yun’s true colors were exposed, and he simply stopped pretending.
Until the end of the copy, he and Song Yun never met again. However, he knew that Song Yun didn’t die in the copy and successfully left.
He didn’t expect to met him in another copy so soon.
The other party was still using the same old tricks, playing these conspiracies with him again.
Bai Lixin looked at Song Yun, “It seems selling out teammates is your standard procedure. In the mermaid laboratory, you sold me, Lin Xiao, and Xia Chi out, and now you’re selling them out again. I let you go back then, but I didn’t expect you to come to me on your own. Do you really think you’re a cat with nine lives?”
Song Yun looked at Bai Lixin and then at Lin Xiao, then frowned, “Don’t slander me.”
“I did indeed trick you in the mermaid laboratory, but it was for the task. I have no grudge against you, blame yourself for provoking the wrong person.”
“I also tricked Xia Chi incidentally, but it was because he was with you.”
“But the Lin Xiao you mentioned, I don’t know him at all. Don’t frame me.”
“I admit I’m not a good person, but I won’t take the blame for things I didn’t do.”
Bai Lixin nodded towards Lin Xiao, “Don’t you know him?”
Song Yun didn’t know what Bai Lixin was up to, but he still looked at Lin Xiao seriously for a moment, “I’ve seen him. There are ten players in this copy. Besides us eight, the remaining two are you, Bai Lixin, and this person.”
Bai Lixin tilted his head, “Don’t you remember seeing him in other copies?”
Song Yun pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully, “He’s not a celebrity. How could I remember?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
It seemed that people forgetting Lin Xiao was permanent, even if they entered a copy again and saw Lin Xiao in person, it wouldn’t evoke any memories.
He couldn’t tell If this was Lin Xiao’s trait or some kind of punishment.
No matter where he appeared or what he did, he wouldn’t leave any traces behind.
Someone once said.
Human death has three stages.
The disappearance of the body is the first stage.
Being mourned by acquaintances is the second stage, also known as the social death stage.
When the last person who knows you leaves, no one in the world would remember your existence. This is the third stage, also the final stage.
Lin Xiao himself hadn’t disappeared yet, but memories of him didn’t exist.
He hadn’t died, but it was almost as if he had.
It seems like his existence was superfluous.
The more he interacted with Lin Xiao, the more mysterious he found him to be. It seemed like every part of him had a secret, making one can’t help but want to find out.
“Bai Lixin,” Song Yun’s voice carried a hint of flattery, “please let me go. I know you’re a good person, different from those monsters. Your fans call you ‘God Xin ’ and say you’re like a warm fire illuminating and warming them. Your guild is called ‘Core Fire Guild,’ and people even made up a phrase for you, ‘A spark can start a prairie fire.’”
“Someone like you, who enjoys saving others, shouldn’t dirty your hands with my blood. Let’s call a truce. I promise you, after this copy ends… no, even in the future, I won’t come looking for trouble.”
“Okay?”
It sounded like a negotiation, but there wasn’t much sincerity in his voice.
After the brief moment of fear, Song Yun had quickly calmed down.
These two black-and-white scarecrows seemed cunning and ruthless, but they had both avoided vital points, and not a single player had died.
If these two monsters really had murderous intentions, they wouldn’t just be lying on the ground like this.
Bai Lixin was indeed a kind person who wouldn’t kill.
But he had to give Bai Lixin a way out, and by showing weakness, he could make the other party step back.
One shouldn’t push too hard; it was wise to know when to stop. He understood this tactic well, a hero shouldn’t suffer losses.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Lixin calmly, confident that Bai Lixin wouldn’t dare to kill.
“Are you mistaken about something?” A sharp voice came from above him, and then the little black furry monster that had kicked him before floated in front of him. “It wasn’t Bai Lixin who ordered them to attack, it was me.”
“Furthermore, I don’t like you very much and want to just kill you now.”
As it spoke, Song Yun immediately felt the sharp blade on his neck approaching, and a sharp pain emanated from his neck as a warm, sticky sensation slowly slid down his neck.
Song Yun was stunned for a moment.
He realized something and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
It seemed he had been wrong from the beginning!
If it was an order from the black furry monster, then it might have nothing to do with Bai Lixin at all!
So Bai Lixin wouldn’t be implicated at all, and he could leave this copy safely.
Not only that, if it wasn’t an order from Bai Lixin.
Then his situation was precarious.
Monsters won’t reason or play emotional cards. If they wanted to kill him, they could do it at any time!
It was chaos, all chaos.
All the beautiful fantasies collapsed at this moment, completely shattered.
Song Yun knelt on the ground in embarrassment, his body limp, as if the sky had collapsed at that moment.
Suddenly, a flash flickered in his mind, and he looked up at Bai Lixin abruptly, his eyes filled with urgency. “Bai Lixin, they’re not like us. They are merciless but they haven’t killed us. It must be because you persuaded them, right?”
“I can tell that they listen to you very much. If you speak up, they’ll definitely listen. You’re a good person, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch fellow humans be killed by monsters, right? Please persuade them to let me go, okay?”
The little black furry monster suddenly floated in front of Song Yun and slapped him across the face with its small paw.
“Monster? Monster? You’re the monster!”
“Every “monster” from your mouth really annoys this lord! You’re asking for death, brat.”
Song Yun’s face turned to the side, and the sharp blade pierced his neck again.
There was an intense pain in his neck and a burning sensation on his face.
With a single slap from the black furry monster, Song Yun was stunned and awakened.
He finally realized that his life was now in someone else’s hands and he no longer had the final say.
Song Yun’s eyes were panicked, and the expression on his face was no longer as calm as before.
His features gradually twisted, and his lips trembled slightly. He looked up at Bai Lixin and wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth.
Then he looked at the little black furry monster and asked tentatively: “Master, I apologize to you. It was my fault just now. What do you… want?”
The little black furry monster snorted and rolled its eyes, the whites of its eyes almost reaching the sky.
It glared at Song Yun and landed lightly on Bai Lixin’s shoulder, “Hey, Bai Lixin, what do you want?”
Song Yun’s body froze: “…”
‘You just said that you are not following Bai Lixin’s orders!
What are you doing conspiring right in front of me?!’
Bai Lixin: “I want to know information about members of the Shentian Guild.”
Song Yun’s pupils shrank violently.
The little black furry monster leaned on Bai Lixin’s neck and crossed his legs, shouting at Song Yun: “Did you hear that? Tell me the information about the Shentian Guild. President, Vice President, what do you know? Just say whatever you say, and the more detailed you are, the better your chances of saving your life.”
Song Yun’s expression was tangled. He looked at Bai Lixin and the little black furry monster in front of him with complicated eyes. He bit his lips for a long time before finally saying through gritted teeth, “I can’t say.”
The little monster pointed at him condescendingly. “So, you don’t want to live?”
Song Yun looked agonized. “Even if you want to kill me, I still can’t say. If I reveal the information about the guild leaders and vice-leaders, I’ll be considered a traitor to the Shentian Guild. Not only will they kick me out of the guild, but I’ll also be hunted down like crazy. At that time, I would be better off dead. I can’t betray the Shentian Guild.”
Bai Lixin: “It seems that the methods of the Godsend Guild are scarier than death.”
He looked up at the empty sky and said, “At this moment, there should be many people watching our live broadcast, right?”
“The Little Overlord should be watching, right?”
“The president and members of the Shentian Guild should also be watching, right?”
“There are also allies of the Shentian Guild.”
He waved his hand towards the sky, showing a polite and gentle smile. Like a young master dressed in silk, elegant yet composed. “Hello, to the audience in front of the live broadcast.”
This sentence seemed to carry some kind of meaning, and Song Yun suddenly panicked.
He looked at Bai Lixin with fear in his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, “What… what do you want to do?”
Bai Lixin gestured to the little black furry monster, “You’re so clever, can’t you guess?”
Song Yun: “…”
‘I’m doomed!’
