Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: The Land of Time and Space Chaos
Zheng Da used a detection prop and confirmed that there indeed was a prop ahead, which allowed him to finally relax.
But in relaxation, he found it unbelievable. They had been walking in a straight line, so why did they circle back to their original location?
"Could it be that everything we’re sensing is fake?" Wang Mo couldn’t help but say.
Who knows? Even Jiang Wenzhang wouldn’t dare to touch his own prop, let alone retrieve it. What if Xu Huo was using this method to induce him to retrieve the prop?
"Then let’s use a long-distance teleportation prop," he said through gritted teeth, "Send one person back to report. I don’t believe his spiritual world has no boundaries!"
"Or maybe we should all leave," suggested Zhao Xiaofang. "They’re still soaking in the water anyway. We can come back after informing the others and still make it in time."
Jiang Wenzhang and Zheng Da weren’t willing to go. Besides worrying about the large piece of Secondary Stone, "Unbreakable from Within" was a Rank A Prop, and if something went wrong along the way, it would undoubtedly shake Jiang Wenzhang’s foundation in Xiaohe City—at least, strong props are required to deter others, otherwise, even with Mr. Kang’s protection, if other players genuinely intended to kill him, would Mr. Kang seek revenge for him?
Inside the protective barrier, Jiang Wenzhang’s forehead was sweating, and he only then realized what being in a difficult position meant. He couldn’t bear to leave the Rank A Prop behind, but staying posed a huge risk. It was a dilemma whether to go or stay!
"Try one more time," Zheng Da decided. "If we walk the same path and still end up here, then let’s use the teleportation prop. After going out, Zhao Xiaofang and Wang Mo should return to report. They should bring more people, and I and Jiang Wenzhang will wait outside the forest. If Xu Huo comes out, we’ll use a signal flare to alert you, and then you can head straight back to the city."
After discussing, they immediately set out, but half a minute later they were back in the same spot. They exchanged glances and used the spatial teleportation device together.
Jiang Wenzhang and Zheng Da successfully left the forest, while Wang Mo and Zhao Xiaofang needed to teleport further. Jiang Wenzhang saw the blinking signal lights in the distance and finally let go of his worries. He turned to Zheng Da and said, "I was really afraid I couldn’t escape his control range."
"No matter how strong he is, he’s still just a Rank-C Player. It’s already abnormal that his psychic power can influence reality, but if he could really control a range of thousands of meters, then that would almost catch up to Mr. Kang!" Zheng Da said unconcernedly.
Upon mentioning Mr. Kang, Jiang Wenzhang’s expression eased somewhat, but he also felt some regret, "We should have returned to Xiaohe City first and let Mr. Kang handle this matter."
Zheng Da paused for a moment, "I’m afraid Mr. Kang might keep him. At that time, there would be no place for you and me."
Jiang Wenzhang wasn’t a particularly exceptional person, but Mr. Kang valued him because of his unique characteristics, which were very useful for Mr. Kang to control Xiaohe City. If Xu Huo stayed, he would definitely be replaced.
Zheng Da seemed to see his concerns and smirked, "Then just drive him away. Keeping him is not easy, getting rid of him is simple, right?"
Jiang Wenzhang’s expression shifted, clearly tempted.
Zheng Da’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "I’ve been through life and death for Mr. Kang, and yet it seems I am still inferior to someone who stirs up troubles with his words."
Jiang Wenzhang looked up at him, "Are you still thinking of taking action?"
"How dare I," Zheng Da crossed his arms, "I’m afraid you’ll go back and complain to Mr. Kang!"
"Just speak your mind, don’t be sarcastic," Jiang Wenzhang was also getting annoyed.
"Isn’t this what I learned from you?" Zheng Da laughed, and then continued, "The missing case caused by foreign players—are they real or fake, you and I know. Don’t really think I’m unaware of it. The player corpses found in the wilderness, some were even arranged by me personally!"
Jiang Wenzhang looked at him in astonishment, quickly saying, "Do you realize what you’re saying?"
Zheng Da sat down on a stone, "You aren’t aware?"
Jiang Wenzhang looked at him doubtfully, "Are you saying, the mysterious disappearances aren’t because of the foreign players!"
"You really didn’t know?" Zheng Da asked back, and after examining his expression, continued, "Sometimes Mr. Kang gives me this kind of task."
Jiang Wenzhang was somewhat confused, "How can the mysterious disappearances possibly not be due to foreign players? Isn’t it because they enter high-risk instances, causing spatial chaos?"
"No wonder... no wonder sometimes a few people die mysteriously in the city, just before and after new players go missing... And the corpses are handled by the people you lead!"
Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Da’s arm, demanding, "Did Little Knife also die this way?"
Zheng Da, taller than him and faced with his questioning, didn’t respond but just looked down at him with a scornful expression.
Jiang Wenzhang suddenly became agitated, "Xiaohe City has so many people, why pick Little Knife?"
Little Knife was an orphan adopted by Jiang Wenzhang; he somewhat resembled him in appearance and personality.
"What do you think?" Zheng Da pushed his hand away, "Who made you so annoying? Do you think Mr. Kang really values someone like you?"
"To say you’re dumb, you have a bit of cunning, to say you’re smart, you only act like a rat hiding in the sewers, squeaking away. You don’t really think someone would like being with someone like you, right?"
"You? You’re just suited to sneakily hide in a corner, living not like a human."
Jiang Wenzhang stepped back abruptly, a sword appearing in his hand as he slashed fiercely towards "Zheng Da"
!"
"Zheng Da" easily blocked his forearm, mockingly saying, "There are harsher words I haven’t said yet. Can’t handle this?"
"I’ll kill you!" Jiang Wenzhang rushed at him recklessly, but perhaps due to losing his calm, even though both had injuries, Zheng Da easily subdued him, pinning him to the ground after a few exchanges.
"Zheng Da" stepped on his face, "Honestly, I’ve had my eye on your prop for a long time."
The sword’s blade was pressed against Jiang Wenzhang’s neck, the bone-chilling cold seemingly transferring through the protective suit to his skin. He suddenly snapped back to reality, shouting loudly, "You dare kill me? Mr. Kang still needs my characteristics to influence foreign players!"
"No worries, someone will replace you soon," "Zheng Da" didn’t hesitate in his actions.
However, Jiang Wenzhang resorted to a desperate strategy, "The group led by Xu is from 002 Night City, they didn’t jump to the New Wormhole Point, they can only stay in the instance for around twenty days. Think about how you’ll explain this to Mr. Kang!"
"Twenty days?" "Zheng Da" halted, "Do you think I’m stupid? Even waiting until the next high-risk instance would take three months."
Jiang Wenzhang retorted with scorn, "It’s a pity you work for Mr. Kang but fail to see that the timeline of Xiaohe City and other places in high-risk instances are different. It doesn’t actually take three months. Players who didn’t successfully jump to a Wormhole Point will be transported out!"
