The Oracle explained, "I used the player skill, frequency-hopping encryption, to get in touch with you."
"Understood."
Li Cheng took a deep breath and roughly explained the situation on his side, and the radio fell into dead silence on the other end.
A large number of SVIPs were dead, Epstein was missing, US ard helicopters and a special combat team landed, and the mastermind suspectedly possessed supernatural power. The situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable for the players.
His brain quickly turned over, and Li Cheng asked in a deep voice, "Can you connect to this world’s internet now?"
The Oracle said, "Not with the equipnt I have on hand. If I use player skills, I could force a connection via satellite as a relay, but that would consu most of my Spiritual Power Value."
"Connect then."
Li Cheng decisively said, "Focus on collecting news information from the past ten years, looking for discrepancies with major events on the real-world tiline."
"Understood."
The Oracle paused for a mont and then spoke rapidly, "On this world’s tiline, during Christmas of 1999, a teor fell in Chicago, Illinois, causing hundreds of casualties and sparking the millennium doomsday prophecy panic.
9/11 occurred as expected, and then-President Bush launched the Afghanistan war in October 2001, and the Iraq war two years later, but the military campaign faced extre difficulties coupled with exposure of prisoner abuse scandals, and the subpri mortgage crisis outbreak, leading to his losing the 2004 election, allowing the first black president to take office earlier than expected.
This triggered a series of chain reactions; the war on terror was in full swing, Ukraine had its Orange Revolution earlier, Russia intervened militarily, and the conflict led to a lab leak and a global pandemic.
The LGBT movent and Black Lives Matter happened earlier, causing a backlash that led to the rise of the MAGA movent, with protests occurring frequently, and the United States had to set up more military bases dostically..."
Clues linked together in his mind, revealing a corner of the truth faintly. Li Cheng took a deep breath, steadying himself, "I understand. What about other areas of the island? Did any VIPs leave by boat?"
The Oracle paused, "No, I hacked into the island’s surveillance system. Many people are blocked at the harbor entrance, prohibited by ard guards from boarding the yachts."
Li Cheng nodded, "Alright, in a few minutes, the C-17 transport plane will finish loading, and there’s a high probability that the ard helicopters inside will head straight for the forest.
At that ti, I need you to do two things..."
Under Zhongtian Beiji’s baffled gaze, Li Cheng finished his instructions,
then stepped out of the woods, crossing the area strewn with bodies, and picked up a brick-like military satellite phone from the altar.
A sticky note was attached to the side of the satellite phone, providing a simple guide, [Press the call button].
Li Cheng grinned and picked up the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, traveler from a parallel world,"
a llifluous, magnetic voice of a middle-aged black man ca from the other end, "Or should I call you, player?"
"The term traveler feels a bit too Genshin Impact; player is fine."
Li Cheng calmly said, "In any case, nice to et you, Black Pharaoh."
Indeed, the llifluous, magnetic middle-aged black voice on the other end was that of the first black president in United States history, who changed the political landscape with the slogan "Change," regarded by the intelligentsia as "a once-in-a-millennium leader who reshaped Arican values."
Barack Hussein Obama.
"I quite like the nickna, Black Pharaoh,"
the middle-aged black man chuckled lowly, "Pifu, Oracle, Zhongtian Beiji, Joker, I wonder which one you are?"
"Take a guess? First Love Boy [Pifu], flamboyantly charming;
Gentle and elegant [Oracle];
rmaid Lead Singer [Zhongtian Beiji], warm and bright;
Unrivaled Charisma [Joker], a national style youth;
We are, TNT, Teens in Tis."
This statent was translated verbatim into a universal human language through the unreasonable translation ability of the system,
Obama was silent for a long ti on the other end, while Zhongtian Beiji beside Li Cheng almost failed to hold back, nearly blurting out in protest,
Why is there sothing to do with here? What’s this rmaid lead singer about? A rman from One Piece? And why is the abbreviation of Ti Teenage Group TNT and not TIT? It makes no sense.
But as if Li Cheng guessed what he was thinking, he turned his head calmly and said, "Because TIT’s abbreviation can be translated to tit, haven’t you seen it too?
In Moloch Islamic Liberation Front’s Big Tit."
"Uh..." Zhongtian Beiji truly didn’t understand, "What on earth is this? Is it so trendy internet slang?"
Li Cheng paused for a mont, then quickly realized, expressing with feelings that this overseas Chinese rich second generation, Zhongtian Beiji, has lived such a fulfilling life dating models, internet celebrities, celebrities,
The resources on the internet are not as vibrant as his personal experiences, so he doesn’t even bother with them and doesn’t understand these s.
"You... I give up."
Li Cheng slapped his forehead, lacking a common language with a social butterfly.
Obama was silent for a mont on the other end, hesitantly saying, "An impressive speech. How about following the footprints up the mountain? I believe there’s room for cooperation between us."
"Let sort through the information at hand."
Li Cheng said, "Four hours ago, Epstein and a group of VIPs and SVIPs held a worshiping Moloch sacrificial ceremony in the forest, consuming human parts.
Soon after, an unexpected event occurred wherein the present VIPs and SVIPs mysteriously died, and Epstein, along with the remaining SVIPs, was nowhere to be found.
This ti point should be when the island’s managent reported to Epstein that sothing went wrong on the island.
Combining it with the bear-shaped spiritual body footprints found in the forest and the US army’s super-efficient actions seems to suggest the following hypothesis—
you, the Black Pharaoh of this world’s tiline, obtained an inheritance and gained supernatural powers from a player hacking incident back when you were a senator of Illinois,
then covertly manipulated situations, changing the world landscape, step by step rising to the position of President.
When the news of the anomaly on the island arrived, you imdiately realized another player appeared, hence halted the sacrificial ceremony, killed the VIPs and SVIPs, and hid with the remaining people.
Given your decisive actions and your ability to precisely na the four of us,
there was another child-form player at the sacrificial ceremony, right?
You learned our mission through that player."
Clap, clap, clap.
Applause sounded from the other end of the satellite phone, Black Pharaoh chuckled lightly, "Absolutely correct.
It’s refreshing to deal with smart people. At this mont, most of the SVIPs on the island are already dead, only seven remain, all in my control.
Once I act, the individuals who die by my hand won’t count towards your achievents, aning the [Escape from Loli Island] mission will be deed a failure.
I went through great lengths to create this stage, aiming to communicate, negotiate, and cooperate with you otherworldly players."
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, "What kind of cooperation?"
"I release the seven SVIPs so you complete the mission, and in return, you give a copy of the Extraordinary Power Seed, how about that?"
Black Pharaoh, with his signature, alluring tone, said cheerfully, "For you, there’s no substantial loss, allowing you to smoothly complete the mission."
Li Cheng squinted his eyes, "What if I say no?"
Black Pharaoh said, "First, the punishnt for mission failure is permanent entrapnt in the Script World. You might have an Ergency Escape Card to leave here, but your companions might not.
Second, even if you use an Ergency Escape Card to leave, you’ll still face a system penalty for skipping missions.
Third, multiple aircraft, including F16s and F22s, are circling at high altitudes over the island with a large diater, several Arlie Burke battleships are heading to Little St. Jas Island, loaded with nurous missiles and air-to-surface bombs targeting the valleys."
Zhongtian Beiji glanced up and, indeed, saw faint indicator lights of aircraft amidst the clouds.
Li Cheng smacked his lips, unclear whether in derision or praise, "You sure know how to demonstrate what a black hand is in the most literal way!"
Zhongtian Beiji thought sarcastically, but before he could voice it, he heard Li Cheng take a deep breath, responding, "I’ll head up the mountain after you. I believe we can have a positive and constructive conversation."
Laughter rang out from the other end of the satellite phone, "YES, we can."
