Chapter 904: Chapter 905: Betting it all, staking the nation’s fate!

Dantai Jingning’s gaze shifted and she finally spoke, "Fine, I agree to your demands."

Miao Jiuer looked at Dantai Jingning before her, slightly disbelieving.

"Hehe..." Zhongmiaosi chuckled, stepped up to Dantai Jingning, and gazed directly into her eyes. "These demands come with one condition—that I must know where you are in real life! Your name, your mobile number!"

"Don’t play tricks. Once you tell me this information, I can immediately check its authenticity."

Dantai Jingning looked at Zhongmiaosi, then fell silent again.

Zhongmiaosi shook his head with a smile. "Please don’t treat me like a fool."

"You must know Night Ghost’s real identity, right? Tell me, and I’ll give you 1 billion, with 500 million paid up front. From then on, you won’t have to worry about anything else. How about that?"

Dantai Jingning still didn’t speak. She was stalling, believing that as soon as Night Ghost sent her even a single message, he would definitely know what was happening!

The two of them just looked at each other like that.

"So... what about 3 billion?" Zhongmiaosi suggested softly, his eyes already clearly conveying a sense of danger.

"I don’t know Night Ghost’s real identity," Dantai Jingning spoke, "He’s the behind-the-scenes boss. I know nothing about his real-life background; I’m just being controlled by him."

"Lying is not a quality of a good child. Your eyes tell me that you know a lot about him. You’re so young; I’m sure you have never experienced what real fear is, have you?"

Zhongmiaosi’s demeanor carried a profound implication. "Don’t think that we are powerless against players in the game. If you think that way, you are greatly mistaken."

"We all know that this game only delivers 10% of pain sensation. Now let me tell you, in this prison, I can restore the pain sensation to 100%!"

Zhongmiaosi’s speaking pace seemed to quicken, a sense of urgency in his voice, as he too knew that as soon as Night Ghost sent a message to either Miao Jiuer or Dantai Jingning, they would know what was happening.

Thus, a certain anxiousness flickered in Zhongmiaosi’s eyes.

If Ling Yi Er San Si really had any real-life connections with Night Ghost, then he would surely hit the forced exit button on Ling Yi Er San Si’s Game Pod in the shortest time possible!

"Are you scared?"

Dantai Jingning didn’t speak, but a defiant look seemed to appear in her eyes.

Zhongmiaosi nodded slightly; at that moment, a torture device suddenly appeared at a certain spot in the space—an execution frame.

"Tie her to the execution frame."

"Zhongmiaosi..."

"Shut up!" Zhongmiaosi roared at Miao Jiuer.

Then the strong, slightly sinister, tall, and lean male NPC grabbed Dantai Jingning, who showed no signs of struggle. This was not because Dantai Jingning did not want to struggle, but because this environment reduced the player’s Attributes to almost 0%, turning her into a level 0 player.

So struggling was futile.

Soon, Dantai Jingning was tied to the execution frame.

At this moment, Zhongmiaosi’s hands flashed with a beam of light, producing a black whip, bristling with many sharp barbs.

Without needing to approach her, Zhongmiaosi immediately lashed out, the whip in his hand extending instantly to strike Dantai Jingning!

The entire process was exceedingly sudden!

"Ahh!!" Dantai Jingning screamed in agony. However, her eyes were not filled with sheer pain; most of them were filled with shock, because she truly had not expected the pain to be so intense!!

It was truly painful, almost unbearable!

"Are you shocked? Will you speak now or not?"

"I don’t know!"

"Slap!"

"Ah!!"

"Slap slap slap slap slap slap!!"

Miao Jiuer was completely stunned. This was definitely not an act, not faked, because Dantai Jingning’s face had already twisted with pain, and her screams were so heart-wrenching that bloodstains even appeared on her body.

How could this be, the punishment effect of the Sky Prison was so abnormally severe—what on earth was this game hiding!!

"Will you talk or not!!" Zhongmiaosi’s gaze grew angrier as he whipped, his inner anxiety becoming more urgent!

"Will you talk or not!!" Zhongmiaosi was acutely aware of the terrifying existence they were facing!

That man was a thousand times more terrifying than An Luoliye!

Thinking of An Luoliye, that woman, a flash of irritation crossed Zhongmiaosi’s eyes.

It was all that woman’s fault. If it weren’t for her, how would Night Ghost have learned about New Dynasty’s gold mine and started to eye it, sending someone to check out the reserves?

But what was the real situation? What exactly caused this scenario? Was it really just because of the reasons mentioned above?

It seemed there was some complexity involved! The operation Chu You assigned Dantai Jingning to had poked at the biggest vulnerability of a huge power!

When the strategists of New Dynasty learned that Night Ghost was sending his top Senior Disciple to inspect the gold mine’s reserves, they devised a plan—to directly kidnap Ling Yi Er San Si!

You should know that at that time, nobody knew that Night Ghost had two 10-Star battle pets!

So the plan was extremely bold!

Moreover, people like Zhongmiaosi were well aware of the current overall strength of New Dynasty, which gave them a lot of confidence and courage.

The ultimate goal of executing this plan was, using the powerful punitive effects of the Sky Prison, to force Ling Yi Er San Si to reveal Night Ghost’s true identity!

Once this plan succeeded, once they knew Night Ghost’s true identity, then everything else would be irrelevant! It would all be worth it because they could then control Night Ghost!

Simply perfect!

The think tank had a professional assessment of the punitive effects of the Sky Prison. They believed that ordinary people, especially ordinary girls, couldn’t bear such pain—they weren’t real-life professional soldiers, mercenaries, or any other special profession; they couldn’t withstand such suffering.

The whole plan had three objectives. The first was to make Ling Yi Er San Si give false information, telling Night Ghost it was from the gold mine, and if that was achieved, it would mean that Ling Yi Er San Si might betray Night Ghost and completely defect to their side.

The second objective was, if they couldn’t obtain the desired information from Ling Yi Er San Si, they could use her as a hostage to negotiate with Night Ghost, to make him completely abandon any thoughts about New Dynasty, and to warn him that there are some people you just can’t afford to offend. You, Night Ghost, have Jin Chuiduo, a 10-Star combat NPC? Well, New Dynasty also has its own!

The third objective, if achieved, would bring unimaginable rewards—that was Ling Yi Er San Si giving up Night Ghost’s true identity!

Any one of these objectives, if achieved, would ensure that the New Dynasty could safely navigate this great peril! You have to know, the gold reserve within New Dynasty’s borders was terrifying in its wealth.

If Night Ghost discovered Ling Yi Er San Si’s abnormality too early, then the most likely objective to succeed from the above would be the second one, but the third one’s success couldn’t be ruled out either. This plan was based on New Dynasty’s assessment of Night Ghost’s strength at the time, which didn’t account for Night Ghost having two 10-Star battle pets.

However, when the plan moved to the execution phase, that is when people like Zhongmiaosi appeared on New Dynasty Border, in front of Dantai Jingning and Miao Jiuer, and after a brief negotiation with Dantai Jingning, which promptly broke down, Dantai Jingning hadn’t agreed to Zhongmiaosi’s warning.

When things reached this step, Zhongmiaosi felt they had no other choice, so they attacked suddenly!

Yet during the fight, Zhongmiaosi received devastating news that brought the sky crashing down!

That was the intelligence from reality that Night Ghost had displayed his tremendous strength in the Dongying district; he had two 10-Star forces serving him!

Upon hearing this news, Zhongmiaosi was utterly stunned.

And just then, a powerful NPC killed both Dantai Jingning and Miao Jiuer.

It seemed like things had suddenly become unmanageable!

Therefore, New Dynasty’s think tank urgently convened a meeting, deciding to continue with the original plan!

They were betting everything! Staking the nation’s fate!
