Chapter 234 Prying the corner
Chapter 234 Prying the corner
Bai Hongyan lightly touched her slender index finger and thumb together, and a crisp snapping sound exploded in the quiet living room.
Her rosy lips curved into a faint smile. "Bingo, you're absolutely right."
"For some unknown reason, Bai Xiaoyu's heart transplant surgery was unsuccessful."
"The heart transplant procedure at that time was performed by experts, so there was no reason for it to fail."
"Jiang Qi's heart was unable to beat in Bai Xiaoyu's chest cavity, so my brother was taken to the hospital, where he accidentally brushed past Jiang Qi's body."
Bai Hua couldn't wait to speak, a puzzled expression on her face.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and in his memory, the corpse being pushed away cast a distorted shadow at the end of the corridor.
"Besides, I saw with my own eyes that you were covered with a white sheet, with a hole in your chest."
"I think that's probably why you changed back to your original name."
"What I found even more unbelievable was that Bai Xiaoyu woke up as soon as I was taken into the operating room."
"I doubt……"
Before Bai Hua could continue speaking, a dog's mournful howl suddenly came from outside the window, and the glass window shattered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Bai Hongyan tossed three coins with her backhand, the metallic clang echoing as they scraped against the wall and sparks flew.
The seven people tensed up instantly, their faces showing vigilance.
The girl's delicate face instantly turned icy cold: "It seems there's something that doesn't want us to continue investigating."
"We don't keep dogs here."
"This is my brother's talent; he does this when he's in danger."
Bai Hua scratched his head in frustration, speaking rapidly, "My sister and I entered the dungeon earlier than planned, sorry."
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Bai Hongyan and Bai Hua vanished into thin air in an instant.
Lin Wanchu futilely grabbed a corner of Bai Hongyan's clothes, but the corner passed right through her hand.
She was hoping that since the two of them had finally met, she could keep Bai Hongyan for dinner.
Unexpectedly, plans don't always go as expected.
Not only was he unable to properly say goodbye to Bai Hongyan, he also failed to personally convey his message to her.
She wanted to say, "Yanzi, see you next time. I'll come back to manage the guild after I finish the next dungeon."
Cheng Cuo rested his chin on his hand, his tone grave.
"I'm afraid the nightmare game is the obstacle behind it all."
"I have an even more terrifying theory: Bai Xiaoyu is no longer Bai Xiaoyu; he is just an outsider in a shell."
"President Jiang, what are your plans next?"
Jiang Qi's expression remained unchanged as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs. "Then, let's reach the top of Nightmare Game as soon as possible."
Lu Zhi's profile was shrouded in shadow, his pale fingertips brushing against Jiang Qi's shoulder, a chilling smile playing on his lips.
"Or, let the nightmare game change hands."
"Since the rules of the game want us to die, why don't we make new rules?"
Chi Miaomiao suddenly looked up, her still-healing throat emitting rapid breaths.
The hand that had been used to begging for years was now trembling as it was raised, and an almost pious light surged in the girl's gray eyes.
She was the first to raise her hand in agreement.
Although she cannot speak, her actions best express her meaning.
"I wholeheartedly agree. Brother Jiang is the most suitable candidate."
Lu Xue raised her hand, her words revealing her complete trust in Jiang Qi.
Cheng Cuo had admired strength since childhood, so of course he had no objections.
As for Lin Wanchu and Yu Hansheng, they had witnessed Jiang Qi's strength and believed that he was the only one more qualified.
Perhaps even the supreme god doesn't know how absurd the Nightmare Game will be in the future.
Lu Xue and Chi Miaomiao were incredibly excited. Lin Wanchu pressed down on their trembling shoulders, her brown pupils gleaming with a dark light: "The world is about to change."
The mystery of Jiang Qi's background has finally come to an end, and his inbox is overflowing with messages.
The next morning, Jiang Qi's mobile phone emitted a loud bang.
Hundreds of encrypted emails were piled up on the screen, with the words "Level A Encryption" flashing in scarlet.
Jiang Qi leaned back in his office chair, the blue light projected from his phone making his jawline appear even more sharp.
His door opened a crack, and Lu Xue peeked in like a cat, winking at him.
"President Jiang, are you busy?"
Jiang Qi didn't look up from his phone. "Xiaoxue, just say what you want to say."
Lu Xue immediately got excited and raised her hands like a megaphone.
"President Jiang—, the Divine Realm Guild is trying to poach our members."
Then, Lin Wanchu's head popped out from behind her shoulder.
"President Jiang, the Suguang Guild is trying to poach our members too."
Moreover, Cheng Cuo and Yu Hansheng also joined them.
"President Jiang, the Eternal Night Guild is trying to poach our members again."
"President Jiang, the Qingxuan Guild is trying to poach our members."
“Each guild representative is at the door right now.”
"They are willing to spend a lot of money and S-level items, and some are even willing to hand over high-level access keys."
Jiang Qi finally looked up from the screen, his phone spinning in a blur between his fingers: "Tell those hyenas..."
He suddenly chuckled softly, and the screen lit up with a countdown scrolling in reverse. "What I want has never been a bone given as charity."
"President Jiang, received!"
The four spoke in unison, and Lin Wanchu tossed the fruit knife into the air, the blade grazing her cunning face.
"Hehe, it's time to clean up the troublesome stuff."
Chi Miaomiao could see the four people standing outside the courtyard gate from the second-floor railing.
Lu Xue rolled over and sat on the railing, swinging her ankles. "Our president said you should all go home, wash up, and go to bed."
"Who would be so kind as to invite someone into the guild but bring weapons along? They have no sincerity at all."
"No matter how high your guild's ranking is, we will not join."
Cheng Cuo shouted in agreement, "Yeah, so what if you're ranked number one? We don't care."
"To be honest, we're not afraid of offending you."
Lin Wanchu supported Lu Xue's waist to prevent her from falling.
Yu Hansheng pushed up his glasses and looked down at them, but the four of them showed no sign of leaving.
Lin Wanchu's fruit knife flew out of her hand and shattered into thousands of silver butterflies in the air.
The phantom image shattered into fragments of data.
Once Lu Xue had settled down in the corridor, Lin Wanchu rolled over and landed, stepping over the fluorescent light covering the floor.
"Tsk, even the representative they sent was a holographic projection, how boring."
Cheng Cuo chuckled upon hearing this, "Because the real person doesn't dare to come."
"By the way, did Lu Xue learn this from you?"
"The two of them, singing in unison, could drive anyone crazy."
Cheng Cuo tilted her head innocently, "Don't wrong me, did I say something that awful?"
"Although it speaks in a human language, the satire is off the charts."
"I'm really grateful for your approval."
"President Jiang—" came Lu Xue's drawn-out call from outside the corridor, "We've resolved it!"
The countdown on my phone reached zero exactly.
After clearing the extra messages from his email, Jiang Qi stretched, and Lu Zhi quickly appeared to massage his shoulders.
"Brother, are you comfortable?"
Jiang Qi snorted softly and squinted his eyes contentedly.
The five people who had been eavesdropping at the door left silently.
