"What, thinking of stealing?"
Li Ang lifted the lantern, nimbly avoiding Viper's reaching hand, and sneered, "What I give you is yours. What I don't, you cannot take by force."
...Do you think you're acting in a play?
Viper silently withdrew his hand. The trembling of his right eyeball grew more intense, as if to show the fluctuations of his emotions.
Li Ang paid no attention to Viper and looked at the other two figures standing around the pole, casually asking, "And who might these two be?"
"They are also mbers of the organization. You don't know them; no need to bother."
Viper shook his head and looked indifferently at Li Ang, his voice gradually growing colder. "I rember Pu Dechuan instructing you, didn't he? To cooperate with our work. Could it be you intend to betray us?"
Pu Dechuan was, naturally, the na of Ji Jiu's superior.
Unfortunately, Viper seed unaware that a good part of that gentleman was now buried at sea, feeding the fish.
"Mr. Pu certainly gave
instructions, and I have no intention of betraying Datura."
Li Ang's expression turned solemn as he held the lantern protectively, stating seriously, "However, he never told
what the liaison looks like. What if you are not the liaison but have been impersonated by a mber of the Special Affairs Bureau? What then? I can't personally destroy the hope of Datura!"
"..."
Viper was speechless for a while. Had it not been for fear that fighting might have so unknown impact on the Ritual Track, he probably would have employed various ans to get rid of this "companion" who was full of nonsense already.
After a mont of silence, a line of text silently appeared above his head, calmly revealing his player information.
[Millennial Black Witch: Viper][Lv15]
Viper turned out to be a Level 15 player!
It was worth noting that killing Zhi Jue, the Resentful Demon, and Gulu Lugu had increased Li Ang's Experience Points by 900, raising him only to Level 13.
Viper's high level ant he'd been a player for longer, been through more missions, and wasn't the kind of newbie who falls apart at a single touch.
Moreover, the Datura organization had ensnared a vast number of wealthy individuals, weaving a global network of connections. Relying on this power network, they had collected nurous extraordinary items.
As a high-ranking mber of Datura and the ultimate executor of this plan, Viper's array of skills, equipnt, and items was sure to be plentiful.
Even if Li Ang's side had an advantage in player numbers, if a real fight broke out, they likely would not have any clear advantage.
Not to ntion, the other two figures at the scene had not yet revealed their information.
"I am Viper."
The pale-faced man spoke in a low tone, "Can you believe
now?"
"Hmm."
Li Ang nodded, showing no intention of handing over the lantern. "I'm still a bit worried. What if you've been ntally controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau? What if your mind has been hollowed out by the enemy, and right now there's a little person inside your brain using a joystick to control your behavior?"
Where does he get all this nonsense?
Viper suppressed the urge to rebuke, saying coldly, "What do you want then?"
"Nothing much, just a bit curious."
Li Ang raised the lantern and said with a smile, "I managed to get here from the entrance of the Misty Territory, down the passage, relying solely on this Palace Lantern. How did you 'steal' so many ordinary people from inside the Special Affairs Bureau stronghold, and how did you bring them to the bottom of the Demon Prison?"
"...."
Viper glanced at the other man but didn't say a word.
He had serious doubts about the state of the "Ji Jiu" before him.
The Datura organization placed great importance on this plan and provided Ji Jiu and Zhi Jue with the strongest equipnt available at their level. In theory, they shouldn't have been eliminated or severely injured by any other team.
However, the player community harbored hidden experts. Viper himself had encountered powerful players capable of operating as lone wolves and crushing mbers of large, clandestine organizations.
Regardless of whether the "ntal attack by an enemy player during a deathmatch task" that the other person spoke of was true or not, he probably couldn't be trusted anymore.
At this thought, an idea struck Viper, and he slowly explained, "Do you want to know? Well, there's no harm in telling you.
"Actually, we've injected a curse into all the Datura Type 1 and Type 2 potions that we've sold. This curse cannot be detected normally; not even the Special Affairs Bureau can sense anything odd. It's only when the afflicted person sees or hears certain special information that the curse will be triggered, transforming the patient into an overt cursed vessel.
"In the real world, this ans that the rational will of these patients will be replaced by the id in their subconscious, dominated by primitive animal instincts. Such ordinary people, once triggered by the Datura Potion, exhibit demonic traits and can be placed into a one-ti item of Perfect Level called the 'Negative Demon Boat.'
"It was with this item that I casually took away all the ordinary people right under the noses of the Special Affairs Bureau. And since these ordinary people now have demonic traits, they are judged by the Demon Prison as low-level, inconsequential demons and can directly enter the interior of the Demon Prison.
"As for how we reached the bottom of the Demon Prison... Heh, that's mainly thanks to the Kuiyang Sect. Hundreds of years ago, they predicted the Mirage Dragon's departure and had long since laid their plans, deploying a demon carrying a special item into the Demon Prison. This demon, their hidden piece, was encased in a Cocoon to prevent it from being eroded by the Mirage Dragon's mist, until the ti was ripe. The Cocoon would then split open, and the special item carried by the demon would automatically trigger, serving as a teleportation anchor, sending us directly to the bottommost layer of the Demon Prison. You understand..."
Before the word "now" could leave his mouth, Viper suddenly exploded into action, his palm hidden under his black robe transford into a fist, aiming a blow at Li Ang!
This plan was critical for Datura, and whether the Ji Jiu before him had betrayed them or not, he had to eliminate the threat before it could arise.
Among the three people in charge of the Ritual Track, two were high-ranking mbers of Datura, and one was the demon ntioned earlier, which had been placed in the Demon Prison hundreds of years ago. All three were much higher in rank than Ji Jiu, but the Ritual Track could not be interrupted, and the other two couldn't engage the enemy because they needed to maintain the ritual.
However, Viper alone was enough.
The punch was like thunder, its wind a hurricane, swift as lightning—unavoidable. Under Viper's intense gaze, his fist connected squarely with Li Ang's chest.
In response, a cold, indifferent smile appeared on Viper's swollen, bloated face.
