(PS: No matter how I upload the image, it's so blurry, nothing I can do.....)

"I'm telling you guys..... stop playing, it's time to eat......"

Ye Li stood up, the bath towel wrapped around his lower body spread into threads and re-wove into a set of casual clothing.

"Did you hear me....."

Barbara patted Skye's hand that was choking her neck, "Go away.... go away....."

"Wou......"

Skye wasn't really choking her, she let go of Barbara and rolled off her.

"Perfect, Li, I also have something to tell you..... I almost forgot because of you."

Skye pulled a big white pillow from the bed into her arms and said.

"That holographic game you mentioned can start internal testing now.

But for now, it only has a temporary codename. What should the game name be?

Also, you can go check out the recruitment of new employees for game operations~"

"Hmm..... so it's about this, tsk.... I have other things I want to do recently....."

Ye Li thought for a moment and said.

"Let's call this holographic game 'Ready Player One'...

The internal test helmets and simulation pods will temporarily be aimed at players with a certain economic status and gaming experts......

As for the vetting of game operation employees, it is indeed quite important, I'll find time to check it out......"

After finishing this matter.

He asked Skye again, "By the way, Skye, do you want to see the Inhumans?"

Skye: "Huh?"

A few days later.

21 Hawaii, Oahu.

In the lush forest, fine raindrops kept falling.

Slap!

A woman's brown leather shoe stepped into a muddy puddle.

The camera pulled up.

It was a pair of slender, beautiful legs with graceful curves, and a nice perky butt, all wrapped in tight blue jeans.

The girl's leg and hip shapes were just right, perfectly complementing her figure, making her a sight to behold.

But the team of gunmen chasing her wouldn't stop to admire them.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The girl used her long legs to run desperately through the mud.

When she reached a tangled vine tree.

She leaned against the trunk to rest for a moment and carefully looked back to see if the people behind had caught up.

The girl's face that turned around was very pretty, and there were one or two small silver earrings clipped to her tender red earlobes.

Over her high-waisted tight jeans, she wore a denim jacket, and inside was a red soft hoodie, with the hood hanging loosely on the girl's slender shoulders......

Most eye-catching was———

Under a strand of pale gold hair soaked by the rain, there was a pair of vivid cat eyes, with a black vertical slit in the orange-yellow......

(Don't misunderstand, it's not Felicia.)

Seeing that the pursuers hadn't caught up yet.

The girl curled her fair hand like a kitten, wiped her pink lips, and then lowered her head to pant.....

"Ha.... ha...."

"Ha...."

"Ha.... ha..... ah!!"

The young girl suddenly screamed!

Because.

Behind the vine tree.

A man in a black raincoat ran out.

Under the raincoat's hood.

You could see his ugly, all-green skin.

The green man comforted the girl, "You're safe."

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"My name is Triton."

Triton, the green-skinned man, explained to her, "I've been looking for you, you are one of us."

"Who are we?"

"Inhumans."

"What?"

Triton: "We don't know why this happened either..... but you came into contact with the Terrigen Crystal, so you are one of us."

Cat-eyed girl: "I've turned into a monster.....!"

"No."

Triton denied, "If I told you there was a place where everyone was just like you, all Inhumans...... that place is called-Atilancheng, I can take you there......"

He was just saying that.

The cat-eyed girl looked in the direction they came from, "I hear them....."

Her vision was different from ordinary people.

In her cat eyes, all objects had golden edges, and she seemed to be able to detect sounds from a distance with this.

"Run!"

Triton hurriedly took her and fled!

Da da da da!!

As soon as the two left the spot, a burst of automatic rifle bullets swept across it.

After that, it was a desperate escape.

It seemed because they were too panicked.

At a fork in the road during the escape, the cat-eyed girl and Triton ran in two different directions.....

"No no no!" Triton, who had rich escape experience, hurriedly stopped her!

But.

It was already too late.....

Bang!!

"Ah! ——!"

With a gunshot.

The cat-eyed girl's figure stopped in an instant, her delicate waist exposed as the hem of her clothes was lifted by the strong wind, revealing a milky white belly with faint ab lines......

The next moment.

Ta.....

The young, beautiful girl fell stiffly to the ground, motionless in the rain puddle.....

She was gone in an instant, like a beautiful epiphyllum, blooming only once.

Step step step.....

In the moment before she died.

She seemed to hear those armed soldiers running past her and saying one thing———

"Forget her! The target is him!!"

【So.... I was just bait that no one cared about.....】

The cat-eyed girl thought this, and her consciousness gradually disappeared......

Triton wanted to go back to save the girl, but the hail of bullets made him hesitate.

And she looked like she had no breath left......

Hesitating for less than a second.

Triton decisively chose to run himself......

And not long after the armed soldiers chased Triton and ran far away.

Beside the cat-eyed girl.

Two figures flashed.

"Whoa~ seems like we're a little late."

Ye Li squatted down and picked up the girl's body.

He didn't expect he'd have a day where he'd be 'picking up a corpse'......

Ah..... although this 'picking up a corpse'..... is a literal one......

【Should I save her..... or insert a chip into her brain and use her......】

He was considering this in his heart, when Skye, who had the Snake Charm necklace around her neck, tugged at him and said, "Li..... is she my Inhuman compatriot?..... Save her first....."

【She's already starting to get cold, and you want me to save her.....】

【You have too much faith in magic......】

Ye Li complained to himself.

Fortunately, he had the Horse Charm, so he really could save her......

"I'll try....."

Ye Li held the cat-eyed girl's delicate body and reached into her wound......

This action made the girl's body tremble reflexively......

After fumbling around for a bit.

He accurately found the golden bullet head and took it out.

Treating a gunshot wound normally wouldn't be like this..... otherwise, a living person could be killed..... Ye Li relied on the charm to treat it so casually.

With the use of the Horse Charm's power,

the cat-eyed girl's wound healed rapidly,

and she slowly woke up.

"Hmm....."

Her hazy eyes opened, and the first thing that came into her view.... was Ye Li's handsome face......

"Mr. God.....?"

The girl thought she had seen a male god from heaven, and dizzily reached out to touch his face.

"So handsome....."

Slap~

Ye Li gently held her hand that was about to wander and stuffed the bullet head he had taken out into her palm.

"You're not dead yet, miss.....

Keep this as a souvenir."

"What?"

The cat-eyed girl opened her palm and found it was a bloody bullet head......

"Ah!"

The girl was shocked awake and almost threw the bullet head away.

This bullet head reminded her of the terrifying death experience just now......

Ye Li diverted her attention to ease her fear and asked, "Miss.... what's your name?"

"Rachel-Rosalind-Charlotte....."

After Rachel said her name, she looked around in confusion, "I remember.... I clearly already died, how come 820 I'm still here.....?"

She looked down and felt her own body, finding that the original wound was as smooth and tender as a baby's skin.....

But the lingering pain.....

told her it wasn't a hallucination.....

"What's going on?....."

"What else could it be."

Ye Li admitted it generously.

"Of course, I saved you, Miss Charlotte."

"You saved me....?"

Rachel didn't seem to believe he had such an ability to bring the dead back to life......

"Watch closely."

Ye Li covered his fingernail with a thin, invisible layer of golden light and cut a small wound on her forearm.

A small bead of blood seeped from the small wound, but as he wiped it with his hand, both the wound and the blood bead disappeared......

"So magical!"

Rachel said in surprise, "Are you also an Inhuman like Triton said?..... Where did he go now?"

"Triton?"

Ye Li thought the name sounded familiar; it seemed to be a member of the Inhuman royal family.

His Super Spider-Sense only told him that Inhumans would appear here, but not the specific situation.....

"I'm not an Inhuman, and I don't know any Triton."

Ye Li helped Rachel up and asked, "Do you know any information about the Inhumans? Can you tell us?"

"I....."

Rachel scratched her cheek with a finger and said embarrassedly.

"Actually, I just heard Triton mention it..... Inhumans, in some place called Atilan...... I don't know much else.....

Right now, I don't even know where I'm going..... If you can find Triton, maybe you can ask him......"

"Is that so....."

Ye Li didn't expect Rachel to be a novice too; it seems she's a newborn Inhuman......

Seeing his expression.

The cat-eyed girl thought he was a bit disappointed.

So.

She bit her lip with her silver teeth, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and wrapped her arms around his neck......
