Chapter 270: Inside Information

The blonde woman's pupils trembled; at this moment, she was already gasping for breath, yet she kept using the system to replenish her HP. But her life in the game had already entered the countdown.

She knelt on the ground, panic-stricken as she begged: "Give my heart back to me! Don't report me! I—I know the inside information! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you all of it!"

Qiao Suisui glanced at Zongfang, who immediately understood and used his hand to squeeze the heart a little tighter; the beating heart was like a water-filled balloon, appearing as if it would burst at any moment.

"No! No! Even if you kill me in this world, I'll only log out; I can still come back in! I will never let you off!" Supervisor 778 was already somewhat hysterical.

Qiao Suisui chuckled and said, "I have already uploaded this recording. You can continue to struggle, because my friend is currently preparing to report you to INF Company in the Modern World. Do you think you'll still have a chance to come back in after you log out?"

Supervisor 778 collapsed onto the ground in a breakdown, but then heard Qiao Suisui's voice rise again: "Or, if you can give me some useful information, I will consider leaving you a way out."

She suddenly looked up, her eyes no longer filled with the arrogance from before, but instead brimming with supplication.

"Even within the company, only a very small number of people know about this matter. I stumbled upon it by accident. If you let me go, I will log out quietly on my own and won't look for trouble with you again in the future!"

Qiao Suisui lowered her eyes in thought and said, "Fine."

Supervisor 778 swallowed hard and said, "There is a project within the company that has recently been launched. They have taken the gameplay processes of a large number of players, made them into sliced videos, and put them on the internet for promotion. Later on, they will even live broadcast the players' processes in the Game World 24 hours a day."

Qiao Suisui frowned: "When entering the game, there was no mention of this item."

If they knew their gameplay process would be monitored and broadcasted, who would still enter the game? Supervisor 778 nodded, "This is without player authorization."

Qiao Suisui said: "This involves a privacy breach, doesn't it?"

"So this project is being executed on a small scale and is currently still confidential. But once it succeeds, the company's revenue will double. You guess, will they execute this plan on a large scale when the time comes?"

The answer was definitely yes. Qiao Suisui frowned deeply.

The Supervisor added: "If this matter is exposed now, not only will the company's stock plummet, but the promotional effect will also become a stain. By then, the games made with huge amounts of capital and time will likely be boycotted, and there may even be legal risks. So, every debt has its debtor and every grievance its author; don't come making things difficult for a wage earner like me. I've told you all the facts, go find the company!"

Qiao Suisui ignored the latter half of her sentence and asked: "So this world is also being live broadcasted right now?"

The Supervisor shook her head, "This is my Save World. I encrypted it, so the company cannot check this world. But... but..."

Qiao Suisui raised an eyebrow: "But what?"

"Your world has been live broadcasted, and you are a high-popularity player in the live broadcast room. Every time your game session releases a reservation link, the server crashes."

Qiao Suisui felt a chill crawl from her tailbone all the way to the top of her head.

She took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth: "How many times in total has my world been broadcasted? How long each time?"

The Supervisor recalled, "Actually, not many, just over a dozen sessions. They were all from the earlier period, four hours each time. Because you are, so far, the only player to have taken down Zongfang."

Qiao Suisui closed her eyes in endurance; the other men heard this and also felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, they were paper cutouts that had developed autonomous consciousness.

But in their world, they had been independent individuals with thoughts from the very beginning.

They would love, would cry, would strive, and would give their all to protect the people who mattered to them.

And such as they were, in the live broadcast room, they were like animals in a zoo or clowns in a circus.

Qiao Suisui quickly adjusted her emotions and said to Zongfang: "Give the heart back to her."

Zongfang let go, and with a 'splat', the heart fell to the ground like a lump of mud. The Supervisor hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it back into her own body.

'Bang—'

Qiao Suisui held the gun, the smoke from the muzzle rising in wisps. The heart was seen pierced by the bullet, blood splashing onto the Supervisor's face.

The expression of having survived a disaster was still on the Supervisor 778's face, but her pupils held disbelief. Her hands were still cradling her own heart, until she could no longer feel its beat.

"You... you..."

Qiao Suisui calmly lowered the gun, looked at her, and said: "I don't like leaving hidden dangers behind."

She had just seen the Supervisor's small movement; while she was talking to her, one of her hands had been kept behind her back, pressed against her waist.

If she hadn't excitedly gone to pick up her own heart just now, revealing the Recorder at her waist, Qiao Suisui might have truly overlooked this action.

At this moment, the Supervisor opened her eyes, her legs twitched a few times, and then she completely lost her breath.

Qiao Suisui walked forward and picked up the Recorder at her waist to flip through it. Inside was the evidence the Supervisor had been collecting all along regarding her Time Rewind. Qiao Suisui first found the upload record, discovered that these had not yet been transmitted back to Headquarters, and then decisively deleted them with one click.

"Is it safe now?" Anubis's eyes were a bit worried.

Ka'er walked over and kicked the Supervisor's body, "Dead as a doornail."

Zongfang quietly and elegantly wiped his hands, as if nothing had happened.

Luka walked to Qiao Suisui's side and said: "Shall we go back?"

She nodded, still studying the Recorder in her hand.

If this only contained evidence of her, why did the Supervisor have to touch the Recorder at such a critical moment, risking being discovered by her?

She always felt she had missed something.

Qiao Suisui comforted herself, saying they would go back first; the important thing was to synchronize the situation just now to Ye Xi.

She turned and saw the Luka of this world standing not far away, quietly watching her.

His eyes were very gentle, but very sorrowful.

Luka asked: "Will I be able to see you again in the future?"

Qiao Suisui was stunned for a moment.

Before she could speak, the Luka beside her spoke up: "I will take good care of her."

The implication was, don't even think about it.

Even if it was themselves from another world, the men would never allow Qiao Suisui to be shared.

The Luka of this world didn't say anything more, just lowered his head slightly and managed a forced smile.

Qiao Suisui and the five men walked out of this world together and entered the different-dimensional space.

She once again used the Streaming Code to contact Ye Xi, and told Ye Xi the main points of what had just happened.

【Wait, you said she touched the Recorder?】

【Yes. I checked, it only contained evidence of my Recall.】

【Take it out right now and see if the third button on the right side is depressed!】
