"Otherwise, how the h*ll did that loser 1010 manage to kill soone with Death-State from 4444??"
Obviously, Little Bai was visibly shocked.
After all, back when they communicated via the glass orb, she had already admitted it—her earlier judgnt had been wrong. With her real strength, she couldn’t possibly kill soone with Death-State from 4444.
So her shock now was exactly the sa as the 9999 Administrator’s.
But Jiang Ye had no obligation to explain anything to her.
As he followed the White-Clad Woman into the room, he wore the dazed expression of a complete newbie: "I dunno..."
"I just privately contacted Huang Bo and gave him this idea..."
"Whether he actually got into the Administrator’s PK Arena, I really don’t know!"
While speaking, he feigned confusion again, thoughtfully asking:
"But... probably not, right?"
"If it really was Huang Bo who entered the PK Arena and killed 4444, would the Administrator rights still have been passed to 1010?"
"And if he was already able to kill one Administrator, why not just take both of them out?"
He only asked these things offhandedly to reinforce his clueless newbie persona.
But to his surprise, Red Guan He actually answered seriously:
"If he only entered the PK Arena, killed 4444, and then left,"
"Then of course, the Administrator rights would’ve gone to 1010 as planned."
"As for why he didn’t kill 1010 too, that’s simple."
Jiang Ye waited intently for what this "simple" reason was.
But halfway through, her expression paused.
As if she suddenly thought of sothing.
A short mont later, she ca back to herself and turned to the White-Clad Woman:
"Such a simple reason, but Huang Bo himself might not even know it."
"So maybe, the reason he didn’t kill 1010... is sothing else."
Huh?
Jiang Ye blinked in confusion.
He wondered if this lady had figured out there was so connection between 1010 and Light-Type?
But then she said:
"I’m thinking—"
"Maybe that key was picked up by Huang Bo."
The White-Clad Woman was stunned: "But didn’t you just say that thing can’t even be touched by normal people?"
"Huang Bo’s Light-Type. How could he have picked it up?"
Red Guan He shook her head: "No idea."
"But if he really had a way to get into the Administrator’s PK Arena, maybe he really did prepare sothing to grab that key..."
"He didn’t kill 1010, just so everyone would believe... the key’s still on 1010!"
She said it like it was set in stone.
Jiang Ye listened and started to piece together what she was thinking—
Seems like this eerie Guan He really believed that Huang Bo had gone to the PK Arena.
And used Light-Type abilities to kill the 4444 Administrator.
And that Huang Bo got the cross.
But in order to hide that he had the cross, he didn’t kill 1010.
Letting 1010 be the scapegoat, drowning in a storm of blood and fury.
While he disappeared with a flourish, hiding his success and na.
This deduction... to be honest, kind of made sense.
—If 1010 and Huang Bo weren’t the sa person, that is...
Of course Jiang Ye knew all the inside details.
But to keep playing his newbie persona, he kept up the act with clueless questions:
"What are you guys talking about? What key?"
"So the 4444 Administrator really was hiding so treasure?"
"Is that why everyone wanted to kill him? For this so-called key?"
"But didn’t you say earlier there’s no way to get soone into the Administrator’s PK Arena?"
"If even you Reincarnated Eeries can’t do it, how could a newbie like Huang Bo possibly pull it off?"
But Guan He didn’t answer any of those questions.
Still, from her expression, Jiang Ye could tell—
This eerie Guan He probably knew about the existence of Light-Type Reincarnated Players!
She likely thought the Light-Type had already tead up with a Light-Type Reincarnated Player.
And it was through that Reincarnated Player’s power that he got into the PK Arena.
But here ca another problem—
If the Light-Type Reincarnated Player really had that kind of power,
Why not do it himself instead of sending Huang Bo?
Maybe it was because Huang Bo was the only one exposed as Light-Type, and the others couldn’t afford to be?
But that cross looked obviously evil.
Could it really be sothing a Light-Type could take?
A flood of thoughts rushed through Jiang Ye’s mind.
He even had a reckless idea—
Why not use a 【Fate Thread】 on this chick too and steal her mories directly?
But obviously, that idea was way too bold.
He’d already seen from Wu Ying’s reaction—
Using 【Fate Thread】 to steal soone’s mory could definitely be felt.
And the reaction wasn’t subtle; Wu Ying instantly thought it was soul-searching.
So from now on, if he used that trick again, he’d better make sure to kill the target first.
As he was thinking—
Guan He spoke again:
"You’re still in contact with Huang Bo, right?"
Jiang Ye nodded.
Guan He asked again: "That Madman Mask, it’s still on Huang Bo, right?"
Jiang Ye nodded again.
A flash of red flickered in Guan He’s eyes, and she said decisively:
"Then contact Huang Bo now and borrow that Madman Mask again."
"Then wear it and go take out the substitute Administrator on the first floor. Maybe you’ll flush out the 4444 Administrator..."
As she spoke, she explained to Jiang Ye: "Just say that to Huang Bo and see how he reacts."
Jiang Ye thought—
What kind of reaction?
Whatever my reaction is, Huang Bo’s will be the sa.
He imdiately frowned and said:
"You didn’t answer any of the questions I asked, but now you’ve got no problem assigning tasks? Real convenient, huh?"
Before Guan He could respond, he turned to the White-Clad Woman and said:
"I ca here to claim my Phase Two task reward, and you also ntioned a surprise for killing the Administrator."
However, before the White-Clad Woman could speak, Guan He frowned and said:
"But technically speaking, you never completed Phase One."
"Which ans, you didn’t actually kill any Administrator."
Seeing her butt in again, Jiang Ye frowned on the spot, and his aura shifted.
When it ca to knowledge and intel, sure, he had to act clueless.
But when it ca to power—he wasn’t a newbie at all.
Right then, the tone of his voice shifted too, and he fired straight at Guan He:
"My task—did you assign it to ?"
"My task prompt already says it’s complete. Why should your word override that?"
"…" Guan He had originally planned to use borrowing the Madman Mask from Huang Bo as a condition of exchange—
Let him finish the job, and then give him the reward.
She hadn’t expected this brat to be so uncooperative.
Just a re newbie, yet so aggressive with his words.
She was just about to say sothing more, when suddenly her face turned pale, and her pupils trembled violently!
Even the red glow surrounding her instantly beca blurry and faded!
And just before she changed from Eerie Guan He to Human Guan He…
Huang Bo’s voice rang out, incredibly fast—
"Whatever you wanna ask, say it to my face!"
"You wanna see my reaction? I’m right here for you to see!"
"The f***?" Huang Bo’s tone was a hundred tis more arrogant than Jiang Ye’s had been earlier.
He directly sneered at Guan He, who had completely lost her red hue:
"She was the one who wanted to see my reaction, right?"
"So now I show up, and she suddenly doesn’t dare look?"
"…"
Guan He really did have a strong personality.
But Human Guan He was actually the gentle, soft-spoken girl who didn’t like to argue.
Facing Huang Bo’s questions now, her face was full of awkwardness, and she even took a step back involuntarily.
The White-Clad Woman instantly vanished with a swoosh.
So Human Guan He also went "swoosh" and darted behind Jiang Ye, stamring out:
"Uh, let’s talk this out nicely, okay…"
Jiang Ye thought to himself, You had the chance to talk nice earlier, and didn’t. Now that I’m done being nice, suddenly you want to be civil?
Tch! Seriously!
He ignored Human Guan He and pulled out the glass orb again to contact the White-Clad Woman, complaining:
"Seriously? You ran off again? I still haven’t gotten my reward!"
But the White-Clad Woman didn’t respond for a long ti—maybe she was still running like mad.
Instead, Human Guan He took the initiative and said:
"Um, I have a suggestion."
She stepped half a pace forward and said to the still-fierce-looking Huang Bo:
"I have a semi-finished item over here. It can mask the aura of Light-Type..."
"Although, although you’ve already been exposed, masking the aura won’t cancel the Kill-on-Sight Order."
"But after all, Doomsday Apartnt is mostly filled with Dark-type beings..."
"Masking the Light aura should still make things easier for you."
The ability to hide a Light aura—of course that tempted Jiang Ye.
But he raised a brow and questioned: "What do you an by ‘semi-finished’? I can’t use it as-is?"
Guan He pressed her lips together and said cautiously:
"‘Semi-finished’ ans it still needs preserved AIDS Blood, you—"
She hesitated, glanced at Jiang Ye, thought for a mont, and then continued:
"Since you were even able to enter the Administrator’s PK Arena, I figure you should be able to get your hands on AIDS Blood too."
The implication was clear—
Go to whoever sent you to the PK Arena and get the AIDS Blood from them.
aning: go to He Xingyue.
From that, it seed likely that He Xingyue, the unexposed Light-Type Reincarnated Player, really did have preserved AIDS Blood on her.
But—
Huang Bo raised his brow again, tone sharp: "Who said I’ve ever been to the Administrator’s PK Arena?"
"And what the h*ll is AIDS Blood supposed to be?"
"Just hearing about that filthy stuff makes want to puke. And you think I’d actually use sothing made from it?"
"…"
Guan He stayed silent for a mont, ready to try persuading him again.
But Huang Bo still looked thoroughly annoyed and cut her off before she could speak:
"Just give that so-called semi-finished item and let take a look first!"
"…" Deep down, Guan He was definitely scared of Huang Bo.
She actually wondered—what if, the mont she handed over the semi-finished item, this Huang Bo just snatched it like he did last ti with the Madman Mask…
But this guy had a Concept-Level Weapon!
If he wanted to take sothing, she really couldn’t stop him.
So Guan He didn’t dare hesitate long. She directly pulled out a tiny porcelain vial.
It was only about the length of a finger joint.
Huang Bo didn’t snatch it.
Instead, he casually asked:
"Using this thing with AIDS Blood can hide a Light-Type aura?"
"So—does that an you used this to hide your own Light-Type aura too?"
That question ca out of nowhere.
Of course Jiang Ye was just testing her.
One body was Replica No. 1, the other was Huang Bo.
Two angles, two perspectives—both watching Guan He’s reaction as they asked.
Honestly, this thought had flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind before.
But he’d imdiately dismissed it, thinking it was totally impossible.
But then!
Back in the Tombstone Zone of the Graveyard, that mysterious other version of himself had boasted that he’d once had more than ten SSS-tier abilities, more than ten Ninth-Tier Glyph Pattern Abilities.
He even casually claid sothing about a multi-souled body, Light and Dark in one!
Sure, that guy’s tone was kinda crazy and made it all sound like the ramblings of a madman.
But it did open up Jiang Ye’s mind!
Things he thought were impossible—might’ve just been him being naïve!
So this ti, he gave it a try.
Of course, it wasn’t so baseless wild guess.
He had one very strong piece of evidence—
The existence of Light-Type Reincarnated Players in the Beginner Apartnt had to be a closely guarded secret!
Jiang Ye only found out about it after getting Huang Bo’s Light-Type Replica.
And even then, the only Light-Type Reincarnated Player he’d encountered was He Xingyue.
He hadn’t dug deep into any broader info about Light.
And if soone like He Xingyue could hide their Light aura and identity…
There’s no way they’d expose themselves so easily.
But sohow, Guan He also knew about this secret!
Even the 9999 Administrator and others hadn’t guessed that Huang Bo got into the PK Arena.
Because they assud he didn’t have the power.
They didn’t know he had “soone backing him.”
But Guan He did!
She knew soone was backing Huang Bo!
How could she know?
Why would a Light-Type Reincarnated Player like He Xingyue let Guan He in on that secret?
It was that detail—
That made Jiang Ye seriously suspect—
Guan He was also a Light-Type Player who had hidden her aura!
And after that probe...
Sure enough!
Guan He’s reaction looked completely unnatural!
In that mont, with a face full of shocked disbelief, she blurted:
"What did you say??"
"You’re saying… I’m a Light-Type Player??"
"A Light-Type Player, coexisting with a Dark-Type Reincarnated Eerie??"
"Don’t you think that’s a little too absurd?"
Huang Bo gave a cold laugh and instantly used Light and Shadow Escape, sweeping the porcelain vial from her hand as he passed.
Then he vanished without a trace.
Leaving only Jiang Ye, who turned to Guan He with a surprised look:
"You’re a Light-Type Player in hiding??"
Now that Huang Bo was gone, Guan He’s expression was a lot more natural.
She frowned and said directly:
"How could that be possible!"
"Even if there really were hidden Light-Type Players among the others, it couldn’t possibly be !"
"If he’s guessing soone’s hiding their Light-Type identity, that would make way more sense if it’s you, not ! After all, I’ve got a Symbiotic Reincarnated Eerie with !"
