Tang Dao did not invite Dong Que and Jiang Tiandao, who had also come to the capital.
Instead, he only took Ye Lai and Sun Zi with him.
This kind of thing doesn't need anyone's help.
"There are some things I need to tell you..."
Ye Lai spoke privately with Tang Dao midway through the journey, telling him what happened after they caught up with the shadowy figure.
This made Tang Island appear even more peaceful.
It also happened on the way to the palace.
...
Wangdu, the rest area for participants in the High-tech City Ace Tournament, the City Lord's lounge.
Jiang Hai, dressed in a black and gold robe, looked at a figure crawling at his feet.
—A person wearing a mask.
"Is this what you came back to tell me?"
Jiang Hai asked indifferently.
"Yes, yes, I came back alive to tell you this, Lord City Lord. I suspect that Ye Lai killed that powerful and mysterious figure."
The masked man trembled as he crawled on the ground, unable to stop shaking with fear at the thought of that scene.
What frightens the masked man even more is what kind of uproar it will cause if Ye Laisunzi and the other man tell Tang Island about this matter after they return to the capital.
Will he himself be abandoned as a pawn?
"Are you afraid, afraid of being used as a pawn by me?"
As if seeing through the masked man's thoughts, Jiang Hai's eyes flashed with a light, and the mask on the masked man's face shattered into pieces on the spot.
"No, no! I'm just resenting myself for not being strong enough to deal with Ye Lai."
The figure behind the mask was none other than Mo Neng, as Sun Zi had guessed.
Now, he is nowhere near the spirited figure he was in the qualifying competition. His eyes are narrowed, he is drenched in sweat, and his whole body is trembling. He looks like a stray dog.
"I can't think about these things, I can't think about these things. In front of this man, all my secrets will be seen through."
Don't scream in your heart; try to shift your attention as much as possible.
"The more you try not to think about it, the more you will think about it. It's like if you tell yourself not to think about an elephant, then first of all, an elephant will appear in your mind."
Jiang Hai paced back and forth until he came to stand before Mo Neng, looking down at the prostrate Mo Neng.
"Just like now I'm telling you not to think about how you'll die, tell me, are you thinking about it now?"
"..."
In Mo Neng's mind, he seemed to see his head split in two, a gruesome death.
"In your current state, let alone in front of me, you would be completely seen through even in front of the King of Great Xia."
Jiang Hai shook his head as he looked at Mo Neng's wretched state, then stepped on Mo Neng's head with his right foot.
"From now on, you will encounter a strange entity on your way to the capital. This entity has the ability to copy others. You escaped after giving it your all and arrived in the capital a few days ago."
As Jiang Hai spoke, scenes flashed through Mo Neng's mind.
Yes, he encountered a faceless monster, and the opponent was very strong.
He gave it his all, but he was still no match for his opponent.
Under the threat of death, he exerted all his strength and finally managed to escape.
This memory overlaid on his original memory, and for a moment, Mo Neng's eyes were unfocused. He didn't even realize that his original memory was correct.
Or perhaps the memories we have now are the true memories.
It took him a while to come to his senses.
"This memory will be made public in the royal palace hall. You will know nothing else. Do you understand?"
Jiang Hai's foot was still on Mo Neng's head.
"I know, I know, I understand."
Mo Neng prostrated himself on the ground, indicating that he understood Jiang Hai's meaning.
It was that weirdo that imitated him and used its abilities to attack Ye Lai; it was also a collaboration between weirdos.
It's not that he's incapable of cooperating with the supernatural.
"Jing Xinpeng hasn't returned yet, so it seems he's either dead or captured alive. This news should also be sent to Jing Zhongyue."
Jiang Hai spoke softly, and a transparent blue butterfly appeared in his hand and gently flew away.
As the butterfly flew by, a ripple appeared in the air, and the blue butterfly disappeared.
"After this, either Ye Lai dies, or you die. Think about what to do."
Jiang Hai lifted his foot and turned to leave.
8BOOK. COM
Only the prostrate Mo Neng remained, head bowed, lost in thought.
...
Upper House, Well Moon Residence, Council Hall.
A man dressed in a white robe, with a classical air, saw a blue butterfly flying by.
Catch it gently, and the butterfly vanishes.
A message also reached his mind.
"Is my son dead?"
Well Moon remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if the one who had died was not his son, but a complete stranger.
But that's just who he is; his heart is like the moon reflected in a well, unfathomable and unperceptible.
One of the few sixth-tier Saint Sect experts in the Upper House.
"I see, I understand now."
Well Moon nodded, seemingly agreeing with Butterfly's idea.
It is indeed a perfect plan.
He was able to completely absolve himself and Jiang Hai of any responsibility.
The only one who should bear the blame is his poor son.
He stretched out his right hand, and ripples spread through the air. A pure white silver Holy Grail appeared in his hand, looking incomparably holy and beautiful.
But this silver Holy Grail contained a black, viscous liquid.
Well Moon gently placed the silver Holy Grail, which contained a jet-black, viscous liquid, down.
The Silver Grail suddenly vanished into thin air.
He went to a place he was meant to be.
...
Royal Palace Hall.
The Great Xia King, seated on his wooden throne, listened to Tang Dao's report.
A sword, sheathed in a wooden case, appeared before the group.
Two beams of light shot out from the sword and then disappeared.
"Traveling through space".
Ye Lai thought to himself after seeing this scene.
His Void Shuttle, an extension of his Deceptive Steps, is a similar skill, but it cannot be performed with the same leisurely pace, and the distance is much shorter.
One minute later.
Two figures appeared in the main hall.
The city lord of Gaoxin City—Mo Neng.
Upper House member – Inoue.
The two bowed to the King of Great Xia.
"I wonder what important instructions the King of Great Xia has given us by summoning us with the royal sword?"
Jiang Hai, unlike his usual carefree self, asked with a somewhat solemn tone.
"I will do whatever you ask."
Even the usually placid Jing Zhongyue's face showed respect.
The reason why a sixth-tier Saint Sect member with their own personality could behave in ways that were not in line with their personality is simple: in front of the Great Xia King, they are no longer strong. Strength is always relative.
Moreover, this is happening now, with the king already enraged.
Why is it described as anger?
Because this sword, which was placed in a wooden scabbard, appeared.
Since the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom's Skynet, this sword has only appeared once.
It is some strange king who wants to invade the Great Xia.
The sword, which was placed in a wooden scabbard, appeared, and the King of Xia drew the sword and left the country.
Three days and three nights.
Slay the eerie king on the border of the South China Sea.
The sword's name is also very simple, taking its name from the King of Xia.
Its name is—the Sword of Royal Power!

There are some things that you need to confront."
The King of Great Xia spoke.
The King's Sword has already appeared, and the Great Xia King's meaning is very simple and clear: once evidence is discovered, the King's Sword will be drawn again.
"I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Jiang Hai said seriously.
"It's quite simple. Someone conspired with some strange force to kill all the superhumans in Hongshan City!"
Tang Dao said, watching Jiang Hai's performance.
Beneath his calm words roared rage, and behind him, the faint silhouette of a lion loomed.
"Is it that serious? Who is it? Who dares to collude with the supernatural to kill the extraordinary beings of the Great Xia Kingdom!"
Jiang Hai was also enraged. Black mist appeared behind him, and within the unseen black mist were a pair of red eyes that made people uneasy.
Judging from his expression, Jiang Hai seemed even more angry than Tang Dao.
"If such a thing were to happen, I would immediately propose to the Speaker that we clean up the entire country. Such a heinous act must not be allowed to happen in the Great Xia Kingdom."
Well Moon also spoke, his expression remaining calm and composed, but that didn't matter. Those who knew Well Moon knew that this was just the kind of person he was.
Even if his own son dies, the sky falls, or he is about to die, he will still be the same.
"They acted so well; those superstars are far inferior to them."
Ye Lai watched from the sidelines and clearly saw that the two were acting, and acting very realistically at that.
"What if I said that this person who colluded with the sinister individual was present?"
Tang Dao's calm face suddenly turned angry, and the phantom lion behind him was fully revealed.
A powerful aura pressed down on the two people opposite them.
"No matter who it is, even if it's you, I will kill you immediately."
The black mist phenomenon behind Jiang Hai also appeared. In terms of momentum, it was only slightly weaker than Tang Dao's, but with Jing Zhongyue beside him, it was in no way weaker than Tang Dao's.
Faced with Tang Dao's veiled words, Jiang Hai's reply was also full of witty remarks.
Sun Zidu was stunned by what he saw, and he even wondered if he had really misunderstood.
"Stop pretending. The person I'm talking about is you, and this senator next to you, Jing Zhongyue."
Tang Dao said, word by word.
"Tang Dao, you need to know what a crime it is to slander a city lord of a central city and a member of the upper house, especially when it involves collusion with the supernatural."
"Well Moon said expresslessly, her words carrying a chill," Jing Zhongyue said.
"If there is no evidence, I will immediately file a lawsuit against you in the House of Lords."
...
"Of course there is evidence. Mo Neng was involved in this incident. Bring him up and check his memories to find out the truth."
Tang Dao instructed the two to bring Mo Neng out to examine his memories. If they found that Mo Neng was indeed involved and related to these two people in his memories, they would be able to help him.
Jiang Hai and Jing Zhongyue don't even need to leave this hall; the Great Xia King will personally kill them.
No one can save them.
"No problem."
Jiang Hai said decisively, "I don't know what happened, but if you, Tang Dao, are so convinced that we did such a thing, I don't mind letting everyone investigate."
"Although I, Jiang Hai, am unrestrained in my behavior, I am upright in my conduct and conduct."
"....."
Under the arrangement of the King of Xia.
Mo Neng was brought up, not by people from Jiang Haigao New City or the council, but by the commander of the Dragon Guard beside the Great Xia King.
The Great Xia King's personal guards are also known as the Dragon Guards. Each guard is at the third rank, and the commander of the Dragon Guards is a fifth-rank titled Saint.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
The imposing and extraordinary Dragon Guard Commander spoke to the Great Xia King. Behind him stood the bewildered Mo Neng, who seemed unaware of why he had been brought up.
"Greetings to the King of Great Xia."
⑧Book. SOM
Mo Neng continued, "In the Great Xia Kingdom, there is no such thing as kneeling or bowing."
Now that the people have come up, the next step is to confront them.
Neither Tang Dao nor Jiang Hai spoke, but Ye Lai understood immediately. Since the important figures didn't speak, it was naturally his turn to do it.
"Mo Neng, I have something to ask you. When did you arrive in the capital?"
Ye Lai asked.
Three days ago.
Mo was unable to give a clean and concise answer.
Did it pass through a valley?
Ye came to ask further questions.
No, I took a different route.
Mo sighed as he answered, as if he had thought of something. "I could have arrived in the capital much earlier, but something happened before I went to the valley."
"What is it?"
Ye Lai continued to ask. From Mo Neng's unwavering answer, he had already guessed that Mo Neng, Jiang Hai, and Jing Zhongyue must have already rehearsed their statements.
But he still kept asking, because if it's fake, there will be flaws.
"I'm ashamed to say it."
Mo Lai sighed again, "On the way, I encountered a faceless monster. I fought him, but I was no match for him at all. In the end, I managed to escape only after exhausting all my strength."
"After arriving in the capital, I received treatment and rested for three whole days."
"..."
"Sure enough, they've already rehearsed their statements."
Ye Lai thought to himself.
"Bullshit! You can't be lying. I clearly fought you when I was in the valley!"
Sun Zi couldn't hold back any longer when he saw Mo Neng lying. He stood up and scolded Mo Neng: "You have repeatedly used illusions to create illusions of my brother Sun Luote. If you are a man, you should be responsible for your actions! Don't tell lies like this!"
"Sun Zi, I know you resent me for leaving Hongshan City, but we are all people of the Great Xia Kingdom, how could I possibly attack the two of you!"
Mo Neng's face turned bright red upon hearing Sun Zi's question.
"Hehehe, I dare to publicly reveal my memories and let everyone see them. Do you dare?"
After Sun Zi finished speaking, he said to the King of Great Xia, "Your Majesty, I request to retrieve the memory footage so that everyone can see what the person I fought back then looked like."
The King of Xia nodded in agreement.
Tang Dao made his move, and a raging lion appeared, surging into Sun Zi's brow.
A scene appeared emanating from between Sun Zi's eyebrows.
The scene shows Sun Zi fighting against a masked person.
A black spear, illusions abound, and two people are conversing in the middle.
"Look, isn't this you!"
Sun Zi questioned.
"That's definitely not me!"
Mo Neng's face turned ashen, but he firmly denied it, saying, "If you don't believe me, I can show you my memories!"
"If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. So I'll make my move and retrieve Mo Neng's memories for everyone to see."
As Jiang Hai made his move, two beams of red light shot out from the shadows behind him.
Mo Neng's expression remained unchanged as a scene appeared in the main hall.
It was Mo Neng who was unable to cross the wilderness. He encountered a strange battle with a faceless creature. Mo Neng used all his strength to escape and arrived in the capital three days ago.
Just as Mo Neng had said before.
"how so?"
Sun Zi murmured, "Memory doesn't lie. If that person isn't Mo Neng, then who is it?"
⑧BOok.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The memory scene was brought up.
Sun Zi was right. He was indeed fighting someone who was about the same size as Mo Neng, and almost every skill he used corresponded to Mo Neng's.
Mo Neng was right. He had never been to the valley. Instead, he fought the Faceless Monster on the way and managed to escape with all his might. He arrived in the capital three days ago.
I think I understand.
Jingzhongyue spoke calmly, "You are both right."
"Sun Zi, you did encounter Mo Neng, but you were not Mo Neng. To be precise, you encountered a strange creature that imitated all of Mo Neng's skills."
"....."
"A bizarre imitation of all skills?"
Sun Zi was puzzled.
"The world of the supernatural is vast, and there are many supernatural beings with special abilities. One of the supernatural beings that Mo Neng encountered before and which drove him to the brink of despair had a characteristic: they had no face."
"The absence of a face is a characteristic of a family called the Faceless Ghosts in the eerie world. The defining feature of this family is their ability to mimic, whether it be skills or eerie objects."
"So the Mo Neng you are facing has actually attacked Mo Neng and imitated it as the Faceless Evil."
The moon in the well stated its judgment, which is logically sound.
"Moreover, judging from my memory, it's possible that your successful escape was also orchestrated by someone else."
"He wants to imitate you, use your identity to do some shady things, make others think that you are colluding with the supernatural to kill the superhumans in Hongshan City, and frame you for this, thereby causing internal conflicts within our Great Xia."
The moon in the well spoke so logically that one couldn't help but want to agree with it.
"So, it seems we misunderstood."
Sun Zi said embarrassingly that he had believed Jing Zhongyue's words and thought he was really wrong.
"What a clever trick, managing to shirk all responsibility completely."
Ye Lai watched from the sidelines with a cold smile, but he didn't speak yet. He wanted to see the other party finish speaking before he would bring up the matter of changing the situation.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the wilderness, otherwise such things will probably continue to happen, which will seriously affect our internal unity."
"Furthermore, it can be basically determined that this strange creature that can imitate others comes from the Faceless Family. We can send someone to investigate."
Well Moon went on to explain his solution.
First, we need to clear the wilderness; second, we need to understand the situation. As for directly waging war against the Faceless Clan, that would be too reckless.
"Consul Jing is absolutely right, I agree, and I can personally take charge."
Jiang Hai agreed, "We are all people of the Great Xia Kingdom. For the strange entity to dare to let my High-tech City bear such a reputation is an intolerable insult to me."
Tang Dao and Ye Lai both sneered inwardly; they had already seen through each other's tricks.
Only Sun Zi was still nodding foolishly, believing that what the moon in the well said was true.
"I'm sorry, it seems I misunderstood you."
Sun Zi apologized to Mo Neng, feeling embarrassed.
"It's alright. If this happened to me, I would think the same way you do. Believe me, as a member of the Great Xia Kingdom, I would never do something as treasonous as colluding with the supernatural."
Mo Neng replied with a heavy heart, "Besides, these people are all my former companions."
The matter seemed to have been settled just like that.
It was all a bizarre conspiracy. While killing the superhumans in Hongshan City, they intended to frame Gaoxin City and plunge the Great Xia Kingdom into internal strife.
"I think Councilor Jing and City Lord Jiang are right, but there are still some things they are wrong about."
Ye Lai spoke up.
"The bizarre world we encountered is a level three bizarre world. A bizarre world of this level cannot pass through the Skynet, which means that this bizarre world must have been built under the Skynet."
"Moreover, the other party is only targeting the superhumans in Hongshan City, not other cities. This means that the other party knows everything about our Great Xia Kingdom, so they can clearly know who the superhumans in Hongshan City are."
8bOOk.com
"I'm sure there are traitors inside who are colluding with the supernatural."
"..."
"You're absolutely right. This time, I will have the parliament oversee and monitor the entire Great Xia Kingdom's Extraordinary Centers to see who it really is."
Jingzhongyue nodded in agreement.
"I don't know who it is, but when I was fighting the strange creature, there was a shadowy figure interfering and blocking my way."
As Ye Lai spoke, he also observed Jing Zhongyue's expression, which remained calm and unreadable.
"After I defeated the supernatural being, I fought with the shadowy figure. Although the figure escaped, I still managed to make it leave something behind."
Ye Lai took out three items left behind by Jing Xinpeng, who had died earlier.
He did not choose to reveal his memories because they contained too many secrets to be made public.
A cross, a black stone, and a pendant.
Ye Lai took it out of his backpack.
"If I'm not mistaken, these are all bizarre items that only your parliament can use."
Tang Dao added.
Like Ye Lai, he already knew that the other party had made thorough preparations regarding Mo Neng while the two were talking.
Tangdao was waiting for the moment when Ye would produce other evidence.
"Indeed, it belongs to our parliament."
Jing Zhongyue stared at the three items for a long time before continuing, "Moreover, the black stone among them was a gift I gave to my son, Jing Xinpeng, for his eighteenth birthday."
He seemed to have made a connection to something, and for the first time, a slight sense of fear appeared on his usually calm face.
"I request that Your Majesty, the King of Great Xia, intervene, investigate my residence, and ascertain the facts."
Jing Zhongyue said, "If it is truly discovered that my son Jing Xinpeng is colluding with the supernatural, then please, King of Great Xia, take direct action to kill him."
"Can."
The King of Xia uttered a single word.
A magnificent scene unfolded above the main hall—Jing Zhongyue's residence, grand and imposing.
The Great Xia King's exploration was quickly obstructed by others, and a white fog blocked the view.
"I wonder what brings the Great Xia King to investigate the residences of my councilors?"
An aged voice appeared; it was the old speaker's voice.
Even the residences of the members of parliament cannot be freely inspected by the King of Great Xia.
"Speaker, I am currently dealing with some special matters, and I have requested the King of Great Xia to investigate."
"Well in the Moon" spoke.
After obtaining the moon's consent, the white mist in the scene dissipated.
Everything was clean until they arrived at Jing Xinpeng's special seclusion room, where they noticed something was different.
Inside the special secluded chamber, there was a Holy Grail that appeared exceptionally sacred.
"This is a strange item that has been purified. It can automatically emit a holy aura and increase the probability of skill advancement."
Well Moon explained, "That certainly seems to be the case."
The King of Xia did not speak.
A single sword beam pierced the Holy Grail, which radiated holy light.
The holy light vanished instantly, revealing the black liquid flowing within.
⑧BОok. сΟm

this!.."
A slight look of shock appeared on Jing Zhongyue's face.
This is no Holy Grail; it is clearly an evil cup that contains the source of all evil.
This flowing black liquid comes from a river that runs through most of the eerie worlds.
This river has given birth to countless strange things and is known as the Mother River of Strange Things. The water flowing in this river is the black liquid contained in the Holy Grail.
It is also known in the human world as the source of the bizarre.
"I see, I see."
Jing Zhongyue closed her eyes. "Pretending to be purified, but actually there's more to it than meets the eye?"
"It turns out I'm the one who harmed my son."
Jing Zhongyue knelt down and bowed her head, saying, "This Holy Grail was a birthday gift I gave to my son. I thought it would speed up his cultivation, but I never expected that it would contain such a treasure."
"Because it was a closed room, I never went in. Even when it was opened occasionally, I only observed from the outside, which is why I didn't discover it. And because of this, my son was corrupted and became involved with the strange."
"Although Jing Xinpeng did this, as a father, I also need to take responsibility."
"Starting today, I will resign from my position as a member of the Senate and will search for Jing Xinpeng throughout the Great Xia Kingdom. Once found, I will kill him on the spot."
There was a hint of regret in Jing Zhongyue's words.
"Can."
The King of Great Xia spoke.
Upon hearing the Great Xia King's permission, Jing Zhongyue's white robe automatically fell off and lay neatly on the ground, and her figure walked out of the hall.
Starting today, Inoue is no longer a member of the Senate.
"Now it seems that everything is clear. Jing Xinpeng, the son of the Moon in the Well, was corrupted by the Holy Grail, which contains a universe within it. He chose to go along with the evil and created this incident to harm the superhumans of Hongshan City, attempting to instigate internal strife in our Great Xia."
Jiang Hai said with an "I see" expression.
Is that really the case?
Only a single-celled organism like Sunzi would believe that.
Ye Lai watched Jiang Hai and Mo Neng putting on an act and knew that this was a story they had prepared before coming to the main hall.
If Ye Lai hadn't caught up with the shadowy figure, the matter would have simply ended there, with everything being blamed on the supernatural.
If they catch up and possess evidence, then let Jing Xinpeng bear the blame and let Jing Zhongyue resign as the outcome.
You can't just kill your entire family because your son was bewitched, can you?
Moreover, this is a powerful expert at the sixth-tier Saint Sect level.
"A good method, a good strategy."
"But at least they've taken a hit on him; the departure of one senator is enough."
Ye Lai guessed that Tang Dao must have known things would develop to this point.
"If something similar happens again, let's not look at the memories of these younger generations. Let's be direct and let the Great Xia King enter our memories to take a look."
Tang Dao said to Jiang Hai.
This is a warning; this kind of thing can only happen once, and it must never happen again.
"No problem, I agree."
Jiang Hai nodded without hesitation.
This will only happen once.
This is the unspoken meaning behind their words.
This massacre of Hongshan City's superhumans came to an end with Jing Zhongyue's departure.
"Oh, what a pity. It seems we need to be more cautious when using strange items in the future."
Only Sun Zi completely failed to understand, genuinely believing that things were only as they appeared on the surface.
But in reality, this was the result of a compromise between the two sides.
"Great Xia King, did you see clearly?"
Ye Lai really wanted to ask Tang Dao this question, but in the end he didn't say it.
The crowd dispersed.
Only the masked King of Xia and the unsheathed sword of royal power remained in the main hall.
The King's Sword floated to the side of the Great Xia King.
A faint clang of swords could be heard.
It seemed like he was about to draw his sword at any moment.
But eventually, things returned to calm.
⑻ьοOК·COM
"Tolerance does not mean giving up."
The King of Xia concluded with these words.
...
This is a three-way confrontation.
It only took an afternoon.
Tang Dao's expression remained calm throughout his return journey.
Sun Zi returned to his room.
Ye Lai then entered the secluded training room.
What he saw in the main hall today gave him a lot to see and a lot to speculate about.
"I still need to become stronger."
Ye Lai said in the secluded meditation room.
Currently possessing 104,561 Blue Mysterious Crystals, 5,482 Red Mysterious Crystals, and 4,211 Dragon Soul Crystals.
Ye Lai now possesses a considerable amount of crystals.
After traversing the entire wilderness, all skills were upgraded to the highest level.
What's needed now is some professional proficiency.
Tan Tong, who killed the Golden Bloodline clone, brought Ye Lai an excessive amount of Dragon Soul Crystals.
I maxed out all my profession proficiency, which cost me 1500 Dragon Soul Crystals.
Ye Lai will now face the same predicament as he did when he was at the first level.
Do you understand the 'Secret to Advancement (Level 2 to Level 3)'?
[Note: Uncovering the secret requires consuming various types of crystals.]
"I understand."
As the crystal descended, the secret about the transition from two to three also appeared in Ye Lai's mind.
"My exclusive class is actually legendary?"
Ye Lai said, sounding somewhat distressed.
This means that Ye Lai needs to find a legendary-level third-tier seed in order to advance to the third tier, but legendary-level seeds are extremely precious.
Seeds are divided into seven levels: Common, Advanced, Warrior, King, Epic, Legendary, and God.
In the treasure vault of Hongshan City's central city, the highest level is only King-level.
Zhu Yiwen once told him that the epic-level seed could only be found in the Great Xia Treasury, and that even the legendary-level Great Xia Kingdom's Treasury was unknown.
"It seems I have to ask Tang Dao. If he doesn't have it, then I'll never be able to break through to the third tier in my entire life?"
Thinking of this, Ye Lai left the secluded room and found Tang Dao to explain his situation.
"Your Tier 3 seed requires a legendary level?"
Tang Dao was shocked when he heard Ye Lai's words, because it meant that Ye Lai's second-tier profession was at least an epic-level profession, which was why a legendary-level seed would be needed for the third tier.
"But it's not hard to guess. If that's the case, I'll have to think of a solution for you."
"You should focus on playing the role well first. Once you've reached a certain level of proficiency, I'll help you find a job."
"..."
"I've played my part, now all I need is a seed."
Ye Lai answered honestly.
"Then you can level up your skills first. The higher the skill level, the stronger you will be later."
Tang Dao continued.
"My first-tier and second-tier professions are now at the top level."
Ye Lai continued to tell Tang Dao the truth, because he really only needed a legendary seed.
"What a prodigy!"
Tang Dao fell silent. He remembered clearly that Ye Lai had only been a superhuman for a few months, yet he had already reached this level.
"Go back first, and I'll figure out a solution for you in a few days."
"....."
After hearing Tang Dao's words, Ye Lai returned to his secluded cultivation room, while Tang Dao headed towards the palace. Epic-level seeds were manageable, but even he, as the head of the central city, couldn't handle legendary-level Tier 3 seeds.
He needs to speak with the King of Xia.
⑧ьooK． COM

When Tang Dao went to the palace to talk to the King of Great Xia.
The Lord's Rest Room in the High-Tech City of the Royal Capital.
Jiang Hai and Mo Neng were standing here. No, Jiang Hai was standing while Mo Neng was kneeling.
On the other side, there was another person, Inoue, who had previously relinquished her status as a member of parliament.
"I will be leaving the capital tomorrow."
"Well in the Moon" said, standing there.
"Why are you in such a hurry? There's still plenty of time. You can leave later."
Jiang Hai sat in his city lord's seat, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly.
"Without my status as a member of parliament, all my actions will be clearly seen by the King of Great Xia."
"Besides, if I stay any longer, I'm afraid the King of Xia might not be able to resist drawing his sword and killing me."
The moon in the well spoke calmly, saying things that would cause a huge uproar if they got out.
"He just doesn't have evidence. If he did, we would both be dead in the main hall today."
"..."
Even the ruthless and invincible King of Xia will one day learn to be patient. That's how the world is; it can turn a person into someone they never dared to imagine before.
Jiang Hai thought of the former King of Xia, and then recalled the King of Xia who had stood silently in the main hall watching the two of them put on their act today, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Since you're scared, why don't you leave instead of coming here?"
"...."
"I'm just reminding you of some things so you won't be confused and unclear about anything."
Jing Zhongyue didn't care about Jiang Hai's unrestrained behavior. "The Great Xia King must have set up a trap before, and Tang Island has now become part of his trap as well. It is most likely related to Tang Island's promotion, and Tang Island's promotion is related to this Ace Tournament."
"You must stop him as much as possible."
"..."
"You overestimate me. I can't stop the Ace Tournament. I can't, you can't, and neither can the old Speaker."
Jiang Hai shook his head indifferently.
"I'm not asking you to cancel the Ace Tournament, you just need to prevent the people from Hongshan City from becoming number one."
Jing Zhongyue slowly said, "We can't do much about the ace matches at the Saint level, but we can always find a way to deal with the ace matches below the Saint level. Besides, there are only a few extraordinary individuals left in Hongshan City."
"Understood, I'll get started on the preparations."
Jiang Hai understood Jing Zhongyue's meaning and did his best to prevent the people from Hongshan City, who were below the third rank, from winning first place in the tournament.
He actually knew about this, but Jing Zhongyue was just emphasizing it to Jiang Hai again.
"What follows is a private matter."
"Well in the Moon," said the moon.
"you say."
Jiang Hai waved his hand.
"My son must be dead. That black stone could not have appeared unless he was dead. Although he was a disappointment, he was still my son."
"Find a way to kill him."
A hint of anger appeared on Jing Zhongyue's usually calm face, which was a rare occurrence.
"No way."
Jiang Hai smiled to indicate that he understood, but his gaze was fixed on Mo Neng, who was lying prostrate on the ground.
"I understand, I understand. Give me five days. After five days, I will definitely make sure Ye Lai dies."
He dared not kowtow or prostrate himself. Any word he heard today, if it were to get out, would cause a huge uproar, but he dared not utter a single one.
He understood even more clearly that his fate was now inextricably linked with Ye Lai's, and he had to do everything in his power to get rid of Ye Lai.

But Ye Lai could even defeat Tan Tong, let alone him? Their strengths are not even in the same league.
"I will never return to the capital again. I'm leaving the rest to you."
Ripples spread across the surface of the moon in the well, and it vanished from the spot.
"Keep it up, Mo Neng. You need to show your value, otherwise I won't know what the point of your existence is."
Jiang Hai spoke casually to the prostrate Mo Neng.
...
The third match of the Ace Tournament will begin in two weeks.
That is, July 15th.
Tang Dao returned shortly after going to the palace and told Ye Lai to prepare well during this time, assuring him that the issue of the third-tier seed would be resolved before the start of the competition.
This made Ye Lai feel like he had someone protecting him, which was indeed very different.
So, for the next five days...
Ye Lai was cultivating in the secluded room. Although it was called cultivation, he was actually reviewing his battles in the wilderness and becoming more familiar with the connections between each skill.
These repeated battles made Ye Lai realize many of his shortcomings, such as the ability to further optimize his skill usage.
As for equipment, Ye Lai plans to wait until all the Tier 3 seeds are collected before discussing it, as his current equipment is sufficient for the time being.
July 5th.
While reviewing whether there was a faster and better way to defeat Tan Tong's bloodline clone, Ye Lai noticed a notification appearing in the secluded cultivation room.
This means that someone from outside is looking for him.
Upon opening the seclusion chamber, one sees a superhuman from Hongshan City, but his expression looks very unnatural.
"Ye Lai, this is my apology letter."
The man spoke to Ye Lai and placed the letter in Ye Lai's hand. After doing so, the man shivered.
"Huh? Why am I here?"
The man asked, puzzled, but his eyes lit up with excitement when he saw Ye Lai in front of him. "It's Ye Lai! Can you give me your autograph?"
Faced with the admiration of extraordinary people in the same city, Ye Lai chose to fulfill the man's wish.
Of the first hundred people who were supposed to come to the capital, very few are left now.
The man left satisfied after receiving Ye Lai's autograph, and Ye Lai opened the letter.
As he guessed, this was indeed an apology letter from Mo Neng.
The extraordinary person from Hongshan City was manipulated by Mo Neng to deliver the message. The apology was simply to clear up the misunderstanding, saying that the reason he left Hongshan City was because Gaoxin City had better seeds, while Hongshan City did not.
In the letter, he solemnly declared that he had absolutely not participated in the attack on the valley, that he was heartbroken for the people who had died, and that he hoped to meet with Ye Lai to reconcile.
The key is that it's a one-on-one meeting.
"Crocodile tears."
After glancing at the contents of the letter, Ye Lai scoffed. Did they think he, Ye Lai, was Sun Zi? Would he believe such nonsense?
Just as Ye Lai was about to burn the letter, she suddenly discovered that at the end of the letter was a hairband.
"Looks familiar?"
Ye Lai felt that he had seen this headband somewhere before. After briefly flipping through his memory, he remembered that it was the headband of Zhang Xiaoya, his neighbor when he was in Hongshan City.
"I see, it was a threatening letter."
Remembering the hairband, Ye Lai knew exactly what Mo Neng meant by sending this letter.
It appears to be an apology and reconciliation to prove one's innocence, but in reality, it's a threat to force Ye Lai to come.
If he doesn't go, something bad might happen to his former neighbor with whom he had a good relationship.
If you go, what awaits you at the meeting place is definitely a trap that has been set up in advance.

Using other people's lives as leverage.
It's shameless and despicable.
Before the royal palace, Ye Lai might have thought that Mo Neng was not that kind of person, but after entering the palace, Ye Lai clearly saw Mo Neng's true character.
This is indeed the kind of shameless thing he would do.
Shall we go?
Yes, I'm going.
It's not just a casual friendship.
Ye Lai remembers one time when he came home very late after working overtime and forgot his keys. It was this neighbor who let him stay in her house temporarily.
But how to get there? That's the real question.
"Going to the meeting alone is suicide; I need to find a powerful figure to go with me."
Ye Lai would never go alone as the letter suggested; who knows what might be lurking there?
This kind of thing definitely involves his Tangdao.
Ignoring the subtle warning in the letter not to tell anyone, Ye Lai found Tang Dao and told him everything.
"They really are a den of snakes and rats."
Upon hearing what Ye Lai said, Tang Dao's battle aura surged, and a powerful pressure appeared for a moment, almost making Ye Lai unable to breathe.
What are you planning to do?
"..."
"I definitely won't go alone. Captain Tang, you can come with me."
Ye said.
"Aren't you afraid that if the people across the street see me, they'll think you didn't follow the instructions in the letter and that your neighbor died?"
Tang Dao asked.
"If he dares to do that in front of you, Captain Tang, then kill him."
Ye Lai said expressionlessly, "Kill them along with the people around him. As a superhuman, killing ordinary people at will is a capital offense."
He had long considered the possible scenarios. If the other side dared to do so, then Tang Island would have ample reason to take action, or even the King of Great Xia would take action.
The other side definitely wouldn't dare to do that, which is why they were so careful in inviting Ye to go alone.
The more they go around in circles, the more the other party is afraid of being caught red-handed.
That's right, let's go.
Tang Dao nodded, praising Ye Lai's idea.
The two left the rest stop in Hongshan City together.
They went to the place mentioned in the letter.
—A secluded courtyard located on the outskirts of the capital.
Tang Dao followed Ye Lai, but the people around them seemed to be completely unable to see Tang Dao.
As a sixth-order Saint Sect Master, Tang Dao concealed his presence. Unless one was a titled Saint, it would be impossible for them to sense his existence. Even if Tang Dao stood in front of someone, they would think he was invisible.
In the capital, no matter how remote the place, you'll always find someone.
Strangely, the closer Ye Lai got to the secluded courtyard, the fewer people he could see. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, there was no one around.
"Someone has set up a barrier; anyone below the level of a Saint will automatically leave the area where the barrier is located."
Tang Dao explained from the side.
But where would so many bored saints come from to come to this place?
Saints generally have positions and tasks, and they are all very busy.
Enter the courtyard.
Ye Lai saw Mo Neng, who had been waiting for a long time. From his perspective, all he could see was Mo Neng.
But is Mo Neng really the only one?
"How interesting, Jiang Hai, why are you hiding yourself? You're standing behind Mo Neng, do you think I can't see you?"
Tang Dao spoke, and as he did, two figures appeared behind Mo Neng.
One of them was Jiang Hai, whom Ye Lai had once seen wearing a black and gold robe.
⑧BooK.com
The other was a strange human with a sharp chin, but this person was clearly not a saint, and Ye Lai could sense the other's aura.
"Mo Neng told me that he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Ye Lai and asked me to be his witness. Look, I even brought Tian Jiantang, who is ranked number one on our side, just so that the young people can get along well."
Jiang Hai said in a friendly manner.
"Yes, I've always heard of Ye Lai, but I've never met you in person. Mo Neng has praised you a lot in front of me."
Tian Jiantang said, his body hunched over.
Who are you kidding?
Go ahead and try to fool a three-year-old.
Concealing himself behind Mo Neng, if Ye Lai hadn't brought Tang Dao with him, he would likely have met a death that went unnoticed.
For a sixth-tier Saint Sect master, killing a second-tier Transcendent is easier than anything else.
Of course, these words can only be said in one's heart.
"Yes, that's what I thought too, which is why I brought Captain Tang along. After all, Mo Neng is also from Hongshan City. To clear up my misunderstanding, we must also clear up the misunderstanding with Captain Tang."
Ye Lai said with a bright smile.
Acting? Anyone can do that.
"Yes, Ye is right. He told me that Mo Neng wanted to apologize, and I said that I should definitely be included in this. We are all from the Great Xia Kingdom, so we are one family. We must stay together in harmony."
Tang Dao also responded with a smile.
"Who would believe that?"
Mo Neng and the others cursed inwardly.
Everyone knows what the other is thinking, but no one will say it out loud.
"Ye Lai, I remember I said I wanted you to come alone, right? Look at the situation now, it's so awkward for me to apologize."
Mo Neng scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
What appears to be normal words actually means, "Ye Lai, are you afraid that your neighbor will be gone?"
Ye Lai naturally understood the threat in Mo Neng's words and said enthusiastically, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Captain Tang is here as a witness." (You dare to tear up a hostage in front of Tang Dao and see what happens?)
"I see, you're right, after all, he was my old captain." (You're ruthless.)
Mo Neng nodded emphatically, a clear meaning in his mind.
"Then you can apologize now." (When are you going to hand over the person?)
Ye said.
"Here I would like to say to Ye Lai and Captain Tang that I am truly sorry for leaving Hongshan City. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope you can understand my actions."
Mo Neng said.
Ye Lai and Tang Dao remained silent. They were indifferent to Mo Neng leaving Hongshan City; everyone has their own ambitions. However, what they could not tolerate was...
—It is impossible for Mo Neng to do those things after leaving Hongshan City, such as seizing quotas, suppressing Hongshan City, and ambushing fellow city dwellers in the wilderness.
I can't forgive any of them.
"But I am now a superhuman in High-tech City. I not only want to reconcile with you, Ye Lai, but I also want to defeat you."
"Perfect timing. With the two city lords of the central city here, I'd like to have a duel with you, Ye Lai, right here."
Mo Neng said sincerely.
As he spoke, a suspended bubble appeared in the middle of the courtyard.
It was completely black, and the scene inside the bubbles was not visible.
[Name: The Strange World Passage]
[Category: Closed World]
[Description: This is a passage to a closed and eerie world, where time flows faster than outside. Because it is a closed and eerie world, those outside cannot see what is happening inside.]
[Hint 1: Your neighbor Zhang Xiaoya exists in this world]
[Hint 2: Your combat power will be temporarily sealed after entering this world]
[Tip 3: The closed and eerie world does not display levels and quality]
"I would like to invite Ye Lai to join me in this bizarre world for another battle."
"If I lose this battle, I will withdraw from the Ace Tournament. I just want to have a 1v1 battle with Ye Lai."

If you don't want to go, just say you don't want to go."
Tang Dao's voice came into Ye Lai's ear.
Everyone present knew that this strange world had definitely been tampered with and that there was something wrong with it.
"Yes, of course I'll go, but..."
Ye Lai transmitted his voice to Tang Dao.
The greatest function of this bizarre world is to seal off combat power, which is what Mo Neng values, believing that as long as the profession is sealed, he will be able to defeat Ye Lai.
Of course, Mo Neng must have made other preparations during those five days.
"That's not appropriate. This strange world is a closed world, and we can't keep an eye on your condition from the outside. If something happens to you inside, it will be very bad."
Tang Dao said after listening to Ye Lai's telepathic message.
"Superhumans live by facing death. Apart from the first qualifying match, every match in the Ace Tournament is full of danger."
Jiang Hai said dismissively.
The Ace Tournament consists of five matches: the Qualifying Round, the Wilderness Challenge, the Points Round, the Top Ten Round, and the Final Round.
Aside from the first match, all subsequent matches will result in injuries or fatalities.
"But that was an ace match, an open match. This is a private match, they are completely different in nature. It is inevitable that superhumans will have accidents in open matches, but death in a private duel is against the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Tangdao invoked the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"You're right, that's why I prepared special security measures for the two of them."
Jiang Hai seemed to have anticipated Tang Dao's response and took out two particularly exquisite dolls. "Substitute dolls, so you don't have to worry about accidents happening."
[Name: Substitute Doll]
[Category: Stand Type]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Description: This is a special Stand created by Stand Master Jiojio. It can be used in supernatural worlds. When faced with a deadly threat, it can help block fatal damage and allow the user to choose whether to leave the supernatural world.]
[Note: This only applies to those below the Saint level who are considered extraordinary.]
Standard type.
This was the first time Ye Lai had ever seen such a type of item, and judging from its effects, it was clear that it must be an extremely precious and mysterious object.
"You're willing to take out something so precious. It's clear you really intend to make peace between the two of them."
Tang Dao was also somewhat surprised to see the stand-in doll. For the person in charge, the stand-in doll was a very precious item.
"Now you can rest assured about their safety."
Jiang Hai said with a smile.
With such a strange item.
There's really nothing more to say. Even if faced with a truly desperate situation, the substitute doll can take the place of death and escape from the bizarre world.
What exactly are they up to?
Tang Dao was somewhat puzzled. With a substitute doll, it would be impossible for him to cause any harm to Ye Lai in this bizarre world.
Is it to undermine Ye Lai's spirit? To make him lose his current invincible aura?
Tang Dao could see that Ye Lai was currently radiating an invincible aura that could sweep away all enemies, which was excellent for his attempt to break through to the Saint realm.
However, Ye Lai is only at the second tier now, so this reason is feasible but not sufficient.
"Since Lord Jiang has brought out such a powerful and strange item, then I'll have a duel with Mo Neng. There's still time for the third ace match, no rush."
Ye Lai agreed.
"Heroes emerge from among the young, Tang Dao, you should learn more from your teammates."
Jiang Hai said.
Tang Dao didn't say anything more. During their conversation just now, Ye Lai had already expressed his determination to go in, so his current refusal was just for show.
The doll in Jiang Hai's hands fell into the hands of Ye Lai and Mo Neng.
As long as they have this doll, their lives will not be in any danger.
Under the watchful eyes of Tang Dao and Jiang Hai, the two walked into the black bubble in the courtyard.
The black bubble blocked all external exploration.
Next, all that's left is to wait.

...
"This is a bizarre paradise for men, a haven of loneliness."
"After enduring countless hardships each day, you can come here and sing a song."
Are you lonely? If so, come here to sing and dance.
"Here, you, coming from the outside world, need to abide by the following rules."
"First, your identity is that of a waiter, and all your combat power will be suppressed to zero."
"Secondly, we need to do our best to serve every weirdo who enters Lonely KVT and refuse negative reviews."
"The third rule is to obey superiors in a strange way."
After the familiar darkness and sounds.
The image of this bizarre world began to appear before Ye Lai.
It's a brightly lit, bustling KTV.
He was wearing a black and white waiter's uniform, with his name—Ye Lai—written in the upper left corner.
"Would you be playing a role in a supernatural world, serving guests as a waiter?"
Ye Lai understood his situation. On the other side of his line of sight, he also saw Mo Neng, who was dressed in the same waiter's uniform as him.
"Gather! Gather!"
A burly man walked strangely to the very center of the KTV, with the words "Manager" written on his upper left corner.
The other waiters who were sitting in other seats gathered together strangely, including Ye Lai and Mo Neng.
Lonely KVT's third rule: Obey orders from superiors.
If you don't obey, you will be eliminated.
"I'll assign you the rooms you're responsible for. You'll be in pairs, you and him, responsible for rooms 80-71."
"You and he are responsible for 61-70."
"....."
The entire Lonely KTV has one hundred private rooms and 20 service staff, working in pairs to serve ten rooms each.
Ye Lai and Mo Neng were coincidentally assigned to the same group.
Responsible for private rooms 1-10.
"What a coincidence, we were assigned to the same group."
Mo Neng said with a smile.
"Didn't you already plan this out?"
Ye Lai said coldly, "Tell me, where did you leave the person at KTY?"
Outside, people need to be hypocritical, but inside this closed and eerie world, that's unnecessary.
"In this corner of the KTV, I think you should take care of yourself first."
Mo Neng adjusted his red tie, looking utterly smug.
Outside, Ye Lai would have slapped Mo Neng across the face, but not here, as his combat abilities were currently suppressed.
Lonely KTV opened after the group gathered.
Soon, a bunch of strange and bizarre guests arrived.
Ten men entered the 01 VIP room, which was under the responsibility of Ye Lai and Mo Neng, in a strange manner.
"You two, deliver the drinks to VIP room 01."
The burly, oddly-looking manager addressed the two of them.
The ten crates of beer, piled high in the air, were placed on a trolley and carried in by two people.
This cart is also a strange item, capable of making its weight zero.
So the two of them easily pushed the cart into VIP room 01.
The place was filled with chaos and smog.
Ten bizarre, humanoid figures, shirtless, were smoking cigarettes the size of beer bottles, exhaling clouds of smoke. The KTV screen was playing a bloody and terrifying scene.
"The wine is here."
Mo Neng pushed the cart in and said.
8BОО＋·CΟm

Just leave it here."
A strange figure, holding a microphone, howled and screamed.
OK.
As he spoke, Mo walked to the song selection screen and turned off the music.
He had entered this eerie world more than a dozen times, and he knew this lonely KTV like the back of his hand, and he knew exactly what the guests who came here were like.
They are all a group of distressed, humanoid, and eerie beings.
Turning off the music would definitely cause extreme dissatisfaction among this group.
After doing something like that, the monsters could easily tear the waiter to pieces.
Lonely KTV, Customer First!
"What the hell are you doing?"
When the leader of the strange creatures saw that Mo Neng had turned off the music, he became furious and walked over shirtless.
As he moved, the other strange creatures who were doing other things also surrounded Ye Lai and Mo Neng.
"What are you planning to do after doing this?"
Ye Lai observed Mo Neng's actions and knew that he wanted to drag him into the mess, and also guessed that the other party must have a way to escape.
"I'll definitely find a way to leave, but what are you planning to do?"
Mo Neng didn't seem nervous at all.
"I'm curious, if I were to die like this, I'd have a substitute doll to leave with, so what's the point of you doing this?"
Ye Laidao.
"You can leave, but your beautiful neighbor won't be able to."
Mo Neng said.
So that's how it is.
Ye Lai understood Mo Neng's plan: to use his former neighbor to blackmail him.
He can leave now, but Zhang Xiaoya will definitely be in trouble.
The two spoke in hushed tones, which only made the ten strange creatures who had surrounded them even more annoyed.
"What are you talking about? When did Lonely KTV become like this? With this kind of service, I'd tear you to pieces and make you into snacks."
The leading male figure was already extremely impatient.
"Then you can see for yourself. I'm leaving now."
Mo took out a gold watch and gently turned it.
The action, which was about to begin, suddenly stopped.
[Title: The Pocket Watch of Time]
Category: Watches
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: This is a powerful and eerie pocket watch from someone wearing a monocle. It can affect time in eerie ways, pausing or speeding it up. In fact, its original level was higher than this, but it has suffered irreversible damage.]
[Hint 1: This watch will have significantly reduced effectiveness for humans]
Ye Lai could not move either.
They could only watch helplessly as Mo was unable to leave the eerie place.
After leaving, the eerie creature, which had been stationary, could move again.
"Damn it, where's the waiter who changed my song?"
Unlike Ye Lai, who can see and think but cannot move, the strange creatures seem to be a true example of time stopping.
I have absolutely no idea how Mo Neng left.
"It's okay, there's still one more, brothers, tear him to pieces."
The leader said in a strange tone.
[Name: The Mysterious Minor Leader from a Certain Family]
[Level: Nightmare]
[Introduction: This is a minor leader from a strange and powerful family. Because he has a very fierce and eerie wife, he can only pretend to be working overtime and secretly come to this lonely karaoke bar to sing.]
[Hint 1: His wife's level is Special Nightmare]
[Tip 2: The phone number is 0711-1314520]
It's a nightmare-level anomaly; the remaining nine anomalies are all horror-level anomalies.
If Ye Lai's combat power had not been restricted.
Killing these ten monsters would have been easy, but now that they're sealed off, there's nothing we can do.
8boОK． Сом
Force won't work; we need to use our brains.
"Wait a minute."
Ye Lai said, then took out a strange world phone he had just redeemed from his pocket, which was already connected.
"Who is it!"
A shrill female voice came from the phone.
The strange creatures that were about to make a move all stopped.
They all knew whose voice it was—the voice of their leader's wife, a unique, nightmarish voice that could easily tear them apart.
"Speak! If you don't speak, I'll come and tear you apart!"
The woman's voice was already very impatient.
The eerie little leader looked at Ye Lai with pitiful eyes, as if begging him.
Seeing the pitiful look in the strange little boss's eyes, Ye Lai took the phone and said, "Hello, I sell male enhancement drugs here. Do you need any?"
"No need, get lost!"
The person on the other end cursed and then hung up.
The tense situation had ended, and all ten eerie figures in VIP room 01 breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew all too well what would happen if the gang leader's wife found out.
"I think I can go now."
Ye Lai put the strange-looking special phone in his pocket and said.
"Great job, bro! Let's not do this again next time, okay?"
The underling nodded strangely, indicating that there was no problem.
It's just a small matter like changing songs; there's no need to make a big fuss about letting their wives know they came to Lonely KTV to sing.
"Okay, no problem. Remember to give me a good review after you finish singing. I believe that will be fine."
Ye Lai said calmly.
"No problem, young man, you provided such excellent service, we'll definitely give you a five-star review."
The eerie little leader smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone about us coming here."
"Don't worry, we're all men, I understand."
Ye Lai patted the leader on the shoulder to show that he understood.
After being escorted by ten strangely respectful figures, Ye Lai left VIP room 01 and received a five-star service rating.
Return to the KTV lobby.
Mo Neng has already disappeared.
The supervisor came over and praised Ye Lai, because he had received a five-star rating.
From the supervisor's introduction, Ye Lai discovered that Mo Neng used an item called 'Disappearing Figure' after leaving, temporarily reducing his presence to zero.
Therefore, the supervisor and other strange entities will be temporarily ignored.
"The design is very good."
Ye Lai thought to himself, "Although Mo Neng is nowhere to be seen now, he must be watching me from behind."
"I need to find Zhang Xiaoya first."
In the time that followed, the other private rooms also began to have various service tasks assigned to them.
With the hints that revealed hidden information, Ye Lai completed the tasks one by one and received a five-star rating.
Ten five-star reviews can get you promoted to team leader.
Responsible for managing other service staff.
Ye Lai will definitely do a good job.
The first tip is very clear: as a waiter, you cannot have combat capabilities.
But it didn't say that a group leader couldn't have combat capabilities.
Lonely KTV opens late at night and closes the next morning.
After the clock in the lobby struck seven, they officially began their break.
Ye Lai received nine positive reviews because only nine guests came to the private room.
Just one more positive review and I'll be promoted.
At 2 PM, it will be the new business hours again.
"Everyone did a great job, especially Ye Lai. Now go and get some rest. We'll meet at 2 PM for the staff meal."
"That's what the supervisor said."

7:00-14:00.
That is, free time.
Under the closed combat conditions, Ye Lai, who had worked all night, was starting to feel sleepy.
You can exchange a 'No Sleep Pill' from the store. After taking it, you can stay awake for three days and three nights.
Make good use of your free time.
My neighbor Zhang Xiaoya must be hidden somewhere in this KTV.
It wasn't in the private room, among the waiters, or among other staff members like cleaners.
Then it must be somewhere else.
There were only two seats left in the place Ye Lai hadn't been to all night.
Staff dormitory and kitchen.
"I haven't seen it yet. It's most likely not an employee, but rather something placed in the kitchen as food."
Ye Lai guessed that he had later gone to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, eight eerie chefs wearing chef hats were working.
There are seven terrifying and bizarre creatures, one of which is a particularly terrifying and bizarre creature, and the particular terrifying and bizarre creature is the leader of these chefs.
They are preparing staff meals.
"Non-kitchen staff, leave immediately."
The head chef, who was a size larger than the others, scolded Ye Lai.
"My supervisor asked me to come and check on how the staff meals in the kitchen are going."
Ye Lai casually made up a reason.
He wasn't afraid of his supervisor causing him trouble, because the previous nine positive reviews had already maxed out his favorability towards him.
"I'm working on it! I'm sure I'll get both of these things done!"
The head chef said with a strange impatience.
Ye Lai walked into the kitchen.
The inside was filthy, with dried bloodstains, twisted entrails, and other disgusting things everywhere.
Behind the chefs, there was a bunch of cages.
Inside the cage were some eerie creatures that had gotten drunk and caused trouble at the Lonely KTV, and were later caught by the manager and thrown into the cage as food.
Among these cages, there is a special gold wire cage.
The environment inside was completely different from the other filthy cages; it was clean and had food and water.
A human woman was huddled up, shivering.
It was Zhang Xiaoya, whom Ye had been searching for for a long time.
...
Zhang Xiaoya didn't know why she ended up in this godforsaken place.
All I know is that after waking up from a nap...
I found myself working as a waitress at a place called Lonely KTV.
She did a terrible job and got a bad review.
So the manager here mysteriously threw him into a cage and provided him with good food and drink.
But she knew she was being kept as food.
Food made from human blood and flesh would be very popular.
The head chef and the supervisor said this during their strange conversation.
"Why, why did I come here from Hongshan City?"
"I clearly experienced a bizarre world when I was in a prestigious university."
Zhang Xiaoya's heart was filled with tears and sorrow.
She was just an ordinary office worker, and her only experience with a strange world was at a university, but that strange world was very simple.
The only special thing is that her good neighbor recently became a superhuman, and a very powerful one at that.
God.
Extraordinary beings.
The Extraordinary Center.
Someone please save me!
Zhang Xiaoya is praying.
...
"Zhang Xiaoya, I've come to take you out."
Ye Lai said to Zhang Xiaoya, who was looking down.
These words immediately brought to Zhang Xiaoya's mind the bizarre and bloody scenes she had witnessed in the past few days, of people being taken out of their cages.
She didn't even dare to lift her head, and she didn't dare to look at anyone who called her name; she just shrank her body even more.
⑧BOOK. сΟm
"But this voice sounds familiar."
Zhang Xiaoya thought to herself.
I looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Ye Lai!"
Zhang Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise.
Are they here to rescue her?
Yes, Ye Lai is already a superhuman, he must have come to save her!
"It's me."
Looking at her face, which was haggard and weak from fear, Ye Lai felt a pang of heartache.
It was because of him that Zhang Xiaoya became like this.
"Waiter, what are you doing? That's expensive food, you can't just touch it!"
The head chef also noticed Ye Lai approaching the valuable cage and loudly warned him:
"We have important guests coming over tonight, and they specifically requested human flesh dishes!"
Human flesh dishes are foods made using humans as ingredients.
This is the most expensive dish series at Lonely KTV.
Ordinary weirdness is impossible to trigger.
"I want to eat her."
Ye Lai pointed at Zhang Xiaoya and said.
"Who do you think you are? Is this something you can afford to eat?"
The head chef chopped the eerie creature on the cutting board to pieces with a single stroke, then approached Ye Lai with the knife: "You're just a waiter. This is the raw material for tonight's human flesh dish. You ate her? You're going to cook tonight's meal?"
Upon hearing the head chef's words, Ye decided that he had to take Zhang Xiaoya away right now.
Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoya might end up being washed, dried, and cooked at any time.
"Good dishes don't need so-called precious ingredients at all."
"The standard of an excellent chef is that he can make dishes that customers praise even with ordinary ingredients."
Ye said.
There has to be a reason to save Zhang Xiaoya; we have to make one up.
Hahahaha.
The chef laughed loudly, as if Ye Lai were telling a joke.
"I'm taking this woman with me."
Yeh then stated his demands.
"Who do you think you are? This is the kitchen. Even your supervisor can't interfere here. Only my words count."
The head chef put on a fierce expression, and with a slash of his knife, he cut another eerie creature in a cage in two.
Ye Lai ignored the head chef, opened the canary cage, and released Zhang Xiaoya.
Zhang Xiaoya hugged Ye Lai tightly.
"Even if I kill you, no one will dare to say anything against me."
The head chef plans to kill Ye Lai right here and add a dish to the menu for dinner.
A strange figure dressed in a suit appeared in the kitchen.
[Name: Huang Hong]
[Occupation: Lonely KTV Manager]
[Level: Despair]
[Introduction: The manager of Lonely KTV, whose dream is to open Lonely KTVs in all the eerie worlds. She prioritizes service, has a gentle personality, and likes people who are true to their word.]
[Hint: You can't beat him, but you can try to take advantage of his dreams.]
The restaurant manager and the chefs in the kitchen sensed something was wrong and went to find Ye Lai's supervisor.
Ye Lai's supervisor then approached the store manager and explained the situation.
"I heard you very clearly. You said that the standard of an excellent chef is to be able to make dishes that customers praise even with ordinary ingredients."
Huang Hong said, "I'd love to see how you do it. If you do it well, this woman is yours, and the head chef in the kitchen can also make it for you."
"But if you can't make it, you and this woman will cook the ingredients for tonight together."
"....."
"Manager, don't listen to his bragging. How could you possibly make food that tastes like humans without using human ingredients?"
The head chef quickly said that he didn't believe Ye's words.
"No problem. If I can't make a dish like human flesh, then you can use both of us as ingredients for tonight."
Ye Lai agreed.
