The man following us?

Jiang Xiaoling was confused, but Mister Hua Pi clearly no longer wished to explain anything. Instead, he manipulated the strange threads, and soon a huge transparent jellyfish enveloped everything in front of him, engulfing him completely. This left Jiang Xiaoling staring in shock.

He had already witnessed the transparent jellyfish before, but what surprised him was that this time, it seemed that the other party did not intend to take him along?

What did that mean?

Was he being abandoned?

"Kid... fend for yourself..." Mister Hua Pi gave him one last look, slowly sinking into the jellyfish.

"Hey... you... don’t you want to know?"

"Memories will be lost upon death, you know that," Mister Hua Pi said smiling: "If I stay here, I will surely die, so whether I know or not isn’t that important anymore."

Jiang Xiaoling: "...."

Just as he was about to ask more, he noticed that the door to the room had been opened.

Jiang Xiaoling thought it unlikely he could catch up. Given this cruel old guy’s evident fear, Chen Qing and the so-called people behind him were probably not good news.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaoling also ran out of the house, heading towards his own home.

Less than a quarter of an hour after their departure, Chen Qing followed the trail to the room.

"They went their separate ways?" The moment Chen Qing entered the room, he deduced their recent actions by the scent and smiled: "That guy is quite decisive..."

"What do you mean?" Ao Zhen asked from behind, puzzled.

"I suspect Mister Hua Pi’s presence in Baiyun City was accidental.

His finding the summoner so quickly must have been a stroke of luck from being nearby.

Hiding in this residential alley, there must be many of his informants, so as soon as he sensed I was tracking him, he immediately gave up on that summoner, clearly trying to get me to abandon the pursuit. .."

"He is afraid of you?" Ao Zhen frowned.

"No... he must be afraid of someone else..." Chen Qing looked back into the void, where there was nothing, and felt nothing by instinct, but he was certain that the man was not far from him!

Once he found that summoner, it would likely be time for them to confront each other properly...

"Let’s go..." Chen Qing didn’t say much more, continuing to follow the scent with the great tracking skills possessed by the scouts within his power. Once outside, he deduced that the summoner was a child no older than five or six years old.

However, there was no trace of Mister Hua Pi to be seen.

If it weren’t for Dragon’s Breath Technique, from the beginning he would have been unable to track him at all. Mister Hua Pi was not a person skilled in counter-tracking, otherwise the Ghost Doll would not have been able to track him relentlessly in the past.

Clearly, that man had mastered something that greatly erased his own traces, making it difficult for anyone to follow him. Without Dragon’s Breath Technique, it might be possible for him to take the summoner and escape amidst the chaos.

King of Qin arrived before him but did not come for the summoner, probably because, apart from wanting to calculate against him, he was unable to find the target, right?

What exactly had Mister Hua Pi got ahold of?

Chen Qing shook his head, not dwelling on it any further. He didn’t want to provoke that man at the moment. Finding the summoner and learning some things he wanted to know was the top priority.

A child’s stamina is limited, and the other party was clearly a normal child in terms of physical ability. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Qing located him.

It was at the entrance of a residence, where a disheveled five-year-old boy stood.

He was standing at the entrance, staring blankly at the rafters above.

Chen Qing looked up as well, seeing several flayed corpses hanging there, each with a tragic death.

It seemed they had some connection to the boy.

"Be careful..." Chen Qing signaled to Ao Zhen to be cautious, while he walked over slowly.

Ao Zhen tensed her muscles, keeping an eye on the surroundings, knowing that at times like this, the man in the shadows that Chen Qing spoke of was more likely to strike.

"Who are these dead people to you?"

"My father... and some loyal servants," Jiang Xiaoling said, looking upwards.

Chen Qing looked at him with slight surprise, the kid was a Reincarnator, but when he called the native ’father,’ there was no sense of incongruity; it seemed heartfelt.

"Are you Chen Qing?" Jiang Xiaoling turned his head to look at Chen Qing.

"I am Chen Qing..." Chen Qing replied, watching him: "Do you know me?"

"Mister Hua Pi said that you are the one tracking him."

"I’m not that interested in him..." Chen Qing shook his head.

"He killed over a thousand people, just to arrange his own informants in that alleyway."

"If I were to manage affairs like that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle them all," Chen Qing quipped with a smile.

"Since it’s not because he kills that you despise him, I want to know, why is he so afraid of you?" Jiang Xiaoling looked at Chen Qing, "As both of you are Reincarnators, did something go wrong within your ranks?"

Reincarnators?

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes, instantly figuring out the other party’s implication. The Reincarnators the other party mentioned must be the development team, that is, the last batch of players who transmigrated to this world.

This name sounds quite interesting, Reincarnators... Is it because this world is unreasonable, that they came to ’correct’ it?

His guess was not off, this world... So many transmigrators, still continuously arriving, truly must have some issue...

This transmigration... is man-made!

At this moment, Chen Qing became even more puzzled. What kind of power could let ordinary people transmigrate to an original game world?

What was the purpose of doing this? What benefits could it bring?

He learned from Tianji that the first batch of players had almost completely seized the powers of the world, fully mastering ancient forces, practically considered the true rulers of this world.

Why would such an outcome require ’correction’?

Could it be that as players, their rule over this world... is unreasonable?

Needs to be corrected?

That shouldn’t be the case...

"There are some problems within..." Chen Qing thought for a moment, following the line of conversation, "Now, our batch has met with some disadvantages.

Since coming to this world, many of us have gone through several reincarnations, memories extremely incomplete, and our thoughts have become radical due to the demonic traits within us, naturally leading to contradictions. "

"Is that so?" Jiang Xiaoling turned back to look at Chen Qing, "Then how much do you remember?"

This kid is not easy to fool...

Chen Qing slightly pursed his lips, pondering before saying, "Not much, I’ve forgotten a lot of things."

"But you remember the Spiritual Cultivation..." Jiang Xiaoling frowned, "You shouldn’t know about Spiritual Cultivation..."

Chen Qing: "!!"

The name Spiritual Cultivation was known by very few, this guy...

"I don’t understand what’s going on, but I just remember it.

.." Chen Qing suppressed the surprise in his heart, continuing to probe, "This thing has always been engraved in my mind, so since I was young I studied hard, relying on official examinations I legitimately acquired a position of authority and entered the threshold of Spiritual Cultivation. "

"That really is odd..." Jiang Xiaoling continued to gaze at Chen Qing in confusion, "Spiritual Cultivation is clearly intelligence only discovered by your batch of Reincarnators after entering, how could you know about it?"

Discovered, intelligence?

Chen Qing fell into confusion, what does it mean that they only discovered this intelligence after they came in? Spiritual Cultivation was a patch update, all members of the development team were involved, what does it mean ’intelligence we found after we went in’?

This guy... What exactly is he talking about?

Before Chen Qing could voice his confused queries, the other party spoke first, "Do you remember what number you are?"

Chen Qing shook his head...

"Then do you remember your name in the real world?"

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment but finally answered honestly, "Pu YunChuan!"

"What did you say?" Jiang Xiaoling turned back sharply, "Pu YunChuan? Are you joking? Where did this Pu YunChuan come from?"

Chen Qing: "...."
