King of Qin’s words made Liu Yu pause for a moment.

Honestly speaking... he did feel a sense of unease rise with Ziyue.

Back then, he and Ali both mistakenly wandered into the back mountain and were rescued by the suddenly appearing Ziyue. Thereafter, Ziyue took them both to traverse the world and explore numerous secrets. Most of his skills, aside from inheritance, were taught by Ziyue.

Logically speaking, owing a great favor to Ziyue and coupled with the camaraderie of the three at that time, their relationship should have been very close.

But it was not so, from the moment Ziyue entered the palace, he kept a respectful distance. Of the trio, he was the first one to quietly leave!

Ali later became indifferent towards him, probably blaming him for his unannounced departure, but... he had no choice, he was truly afraid.

Ziyue often seemed reliable, like a stable mountain, seemingly able to solve any problem, but sometimes... perhaps she didn’t even realize, she was terrifying...

The occasional show of coldness was more horrifying than any demon he had seen in those ancient tombs.

After finally not being able to bear it and stealthily escaping using Flying Star, he couldn’t sleep well for several months, fearing that upon waking up he’d find Ziyue had pursued him, but later it turned out nothing happened, even their second meeting was so plain.

He once thought he was overthinking, but now with King of Qin saying these words, Liu Yu knew his initial feelings were not wrong!

"Did you know from the beginning that she had issues?" Liu Yu asked in confusion: "Then why did you dare to take her in?"

"This is not a conflict..." King of Qin laughed: "Having issues doesn’t mean she can’t be used, just need to be cautious, rather it’s Chen Qing who actually handed her all the military power of his forces, such trust, just because they slept together?"

"Eh? When was this?"

"That’s not what you should be concerned about." King of Qin shook his head, then proceeded to walk outside.

"Just like that, you’re leaving?"

"Why not? If I wait until that thing appears before leaving, it might be too late..." King of Qin stretched lazily: "My injury hasn’t healed yet, I’m just here to watch the show, I have no ability to intervene."

Liu Yu followed behind, hesitated for a while but still couldn’t help asking: "Can you tell me exactly what it is?"

"Can’t say..." King of Qin shook his head.

"Why not?"

"Because there’s an agreement..." King of Qin spoke softly: "This world was written into an agreement from the beginning, some names can’t be mentioned, and whoever mentions them will be locked by a program, this was Pu YunChuan’s compromise, and because of this compromise, those guys have been undiscovered for so many years. .."

Liu Yu: "....."

"I told you, you wouldn’t understand, but it’s almost time, when that group starts to act it means... some past events have to be unearthed."

----------------------------------------------------

"Ziyue!"

On the computer, Chen Qing, eyes red with fury, stared intensely at the monitor, where Ziyue was killed by Old Liu!

But he could do nothing!

To increase his computing power and to involve deeply in the transformation of this gaming world, researchers linked him to a supercomputer!

But, the network was local, confined within the building. The building’s internal networks, in order to prevent technological leakage, also operated on local networks. This meant that apart from being in the game, the scope of control was limited to digital devices connected to this building.

Yes, at this moment Chen Qing... oh no, Pu YunChuan, had become like the omnipotent artificial intelligence from movies, almost able to control any connected digital device in the building.

But now, overwhelmed by emotions, the entire building momentarily lost network connection, even the power supply started fluctuating!

For a moment, alarms rang out, and the building was plunged into chaos!

Old Liu, holding a gun, frowned slightly. He had just killed someone, and outside the alarm rang, was it a coincidence?

As he pondered what to do next, the conference room door was abruptly slammed open.

"Old Liu! You are unharmed...huh?"

The managers and security personnel who barged in were all stunned.

Several security guards instinctively stepped back and drew their guns, aiming at Old Liu.

Since they were external hires, they had a strong self-preservation instinct when it came to anyone holding a gun, whether it was the employer or someone else.

"Stop!" The manager, scared out of his wits, shouted as he saw this. "Put your guns down!"

Old Liu was quite calm, slowly placing his gun on the table and then very slowly raising his hands.

This cooperative action slightly relieved the security personnel.

In any case, they didn’t want to take action against their employer. Security personnel rely on their reputation. Being branded as someone who killed their employer, for any reason, would ruin their careers in this industry, not to mention that the other party was a celebrity.

"Should we call the police?" asked the security personnel in English.

"Call the police my ass!" The manager cursed in anger.

"It’s okay..." Old Liu said with a bitter smile as he sat down. "If we need to call the police, then let’s do it."

"Old Liu, this is no joking matter..." The manager quickly came over to help him sit down. "What exactly happened?"

"She wanted to kill me." Old Liu said with a puzzled expression. "Are you sure you’ve thoroughly investigated her background?"

"Uh..." The manager was startled. Was this a joke?

She was an assassin?

But it made sense. Given Old Liu’s status, even if he carried a gun, he wouldn’t shoot someone without cause. Could it really be an assassin?

"It was our oversight. I’ll handle this. Old Liu has been startled; I’ll have someone take you to rest."

"Please make sure to investigate thoroughly, and check all those designers who were hired. This experiment... must not be exposed under any circumstances."

"I understand..."

Their conversation was under surveillance, captured clearly by high-definition cameras.

Pu YunChuan watched everything crystal clear.

An old man, nearing the end of his life, after killing someone, his acting could have won an Oscar.

His puzzled expression didn’t seem feigned, even having seen the entire process himself, he doubted whether the old man had a split personality.

But obviously, it wasn’t that simple.

Pu YunChuan tried to stabilize his emotions. He knew anger was useless. Although he could control the digital devices in the building, using them to murder was still unlikely. Moreover, once he did so, what happened next would probably be beyond his knowledge.

Calm down... all this is history; you can’t change it. What you need to do is to observe calmly and figure out what exactly happened back then.

And this old man...

Pu YunChuan intensely watched the man who had shot Ziyue. This old thing... what exactly is he?

Clearly, Ziyue had the best chance to replicate this game. Why would he go so far as to slander her and kill her?

There’s only one reason... this old thing doesn’t want the Reincarnation to be replicated!

Why?

Clearly he was one of the sponsors, someone who also desired longevity. So why stop it?

They’ve seen how problematic this game world could be; wouldn’t replicating a simpler world be better?

What exactly does he want to do?

As Pu YunChuan calmed down, he quickly thought of a lot. The conference room earlier had no surveillance, and those people’s identities at the top of the building were confidential. Did the people above know that Old Liu killed Ziyue?

They didn’t know...

Pu YunChuan quickly realized, Old Liu... isn’t in the same group with those above!

No... they appear to be allies on the surface, but this old guy... has other plans!
