Chapter 1031: A Terrifying Realization!? Bodies Flying?

Besides that, there was also last night's "Night Raid" home's Enforcer Department leader—Lian Shiqi!

And these……

are still only people known to Su Yang and Yue Lan.

Also, a considerable portion of players have not been "charmed" over.

Zhang Tiancheng and Luo Qing are a typical example.

They only came after receiving the news.

The purpose was to find Yue Lan.

In that case, those "world‑avoiding" players.

Is it merely a coincidence caused by entering Upper City District to do a Task?

Or did they preemptively anticipate Su Yang and Yue Lan's collusion and choose to avoid risk?

If it's the former, that can also be self‑consistent.

But if it's the latter……

"Tenglong Company knows their prized asset was stolen and wants White Bear City to fall into chaos."

"Based on that, the Tenglong senior management not being involved also makes sense."

"But Imperial Company suddenly issued this emergency Task…"

"Does that perhaps intend to add fuel, forcing people onto the mountain?" Su Yang asked.

Yue Lan caught the implication, "You mean, Imperial Company's senior management also wants chaos?"

Su Yang's eyes flashed, "Think about it, using such a blunt Task description is precisely to highlight Guo Fan's importance, isn't it?"

"If you are a company manager and under your command there is an act of embezzlement, and the stolen item is the most crucial secret."

"Would you broadcast it so flamboyantly, as if fearing the world wouldn't know, and directly issue a Task?"

Um?

The words hung, and people suddenly felt something off.

"Right, logically this should be a scandal."

"Even ignoring consequences, reputation‑wise it shouldn't be so blunt."

"If it were me, I'd have a few confidants quietly capture or eliminate the person."

"Imperial Company has hundreds of Gene Modification soldiers; who can guarantee there's no insider?"

"Isn't what she does equivalent to a citywide proclamation?" Ximen Zhirou said.

Lu Junsheng nodded, "Moreover, once turmoil erupts, countless civilians suffer, which brings only harm and no benefit to the Company."

"It even significantly impacts the entire city's economic system, with damage far exceeding imagination."

"Regardless of perspective, this is a mistaken decision."

At this moment, Luo Qing, who had been silently listening nearby, suddenly spoke, "Is it possible— I mean possibly…"

"All of this was a preplanned operation."

Zhuang Wu blinked, "Do we need to say more? Of course it is."

"I mean, the operation including Guo Fan's embezzlement was deliberately planned?" Luo Qing added.

What?!

Lu Junsheng's eyes showed surprise.

He vaguely recalled Wang Defa saying that Guo Fan did it because his daughter had a terminal illness.

According to Luo Qing's claim, his daughter's terminal illness was also part of the plan?!

Then isn't that…

Lu Junsheng instantly felt a chilling realization.

"What a coincidence, the top‑secret plan's chief's daughter fell ill; as a father, how could he possibly endure watching his daughter be tormented to death by disease?"

Zhang Tiancheng furrowed his brows and said, "But that doesn't add up at all; Guo Fan's daughter's illness didn't happen overnight."

"At least a month or two ago, right?"

"We only entered the game a few days ago, so we couldn't have set up anything in advance."

Su Yang spoke calmly, "The planner might not be a player; it could be an NPC."

"What?" Zhang Tiancheng's expression turned sour, "An NPC manipulating us at will?"

"NPCs are essentially humans too; you're allowed to be clever, but others aren't allowed to think?" Zhuang Wu said irritably.

Su Yang pondered briefly, then said, "…let's proceed according to Miss Luo Qing's line of thought."

"If everything was planned, then the origin must be the Bee Queen incident."

"That is, Yue Lan 'saw' the Laboratory's commencement."

The Bee Queen was stolen first, then Guo Fan's embezzlement.

The subsequent development hit the senior management's expectations, plunging White Bear City into turmoil.

"I recall you said it happened while passing the Quarry during a Task, right?" Su Yang asked, turning his head.

"Yes." Yue Lan nodded.

"You're accustomed to observing the whole picture in unfamiliar places."

"Of course, most players would do that."

"Coincidentally, you happen to possess the Innate Talent to discern essence, and you saw inside the Laboratory."

"Then… who knows of your Innate Talent?" Su Yang asked.

Yue Lan fell into contemplation.

In the meantime Su Yang did not disturb, quietly waiting for the result.

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any." Yue Lan glanced at Zhang Tiancheng and Luo Qing, then added, "Except for the Dependents, everyone who knew is dead."

Cutting the grass also removes the roots.

Reasonable and logical.

"Since no one knew in advance, then you are the coincidence," Su Yang said.

"But…" Ximen Zhirou's face showed puzzlement, "How could those higher-ups think you'd inject the Bee King with the Rejuvenation Needle?"

If it was a pre‑judgment.

That would be a bit too precise.

It just so happened that the time point was in Upper City District.

It also happened that the Monster attacked at that moment.

Su Yang's eyes shifted, landing on Cai Xu in the driver seat.

He was seen gripping the Direction Wheel with his left hand, the Joystick with his right, humming a tune with his Mouth.

He immediately said, "Of course it's not a pre‑judgment, but a plan fine‑tuned through our actions."

Yue Lan felt a weight in her heart, "Cai Xu's purchase behavior let them guess our actions?"

"The likelihood is high; otherwise, how could a low‑net‑worth, gray‑industry specialist easily acquire the Rejuvenation Needle?" Su Yang said.

Yue Lan's gaze grew solemn; she never imagined that all this could be traceable.

Not only that, every step was calculated with precision.

Such profound scheming is truly terrifying.

"What is the meaning of that Monster's raid?" Lu Junsheng asked, puzzled.

"Does wiping out the Gene Modification warriors benefit them?" Ximen Zhirou also expressed doubt.

In response, Su Yang's gaze signaled Wen Ran.

The latter understood, carefully helping him to the side of the driver seat.

Su Yang patted Cai Xu's Shoulder and said, "Please open the car door, the courier has arrived."

"You're awake?" Cai Xu immediately showed a flattering expression, nodding repeatedly, "Opening the door, right? No problem!"

He pressed the Button and heard a 'shh' sound.

The car door opened, and a corpse floated half‑air, sliding in with a 'drill' motion.

Everyone stared and were astonished to find a Werewolf corpse!

Zhang Tiancheng stood up, carefully examined the area around the corpse, and exclaimed in shock, "The corpse is flying?"

Others didn't see it, but Yue Lan discerned the mystery within.

She explained, "It's not flying; a pitiful little imp is silently transporting it."

In her Vision Perception, a terrifying little imp was panting from exhaustion.

Su Yang gave a faint smile, extended a Finger and gestured for the imp to put it down.

People observed the corpse for a moment and saw the once robust body become unusually skinny.

It seemed to have shrunk an entire circle.

"What is this…" Ximen Zhirou's eyes widened, a ridiculous thought flashing in her Brain.

Su Yang sat in the seat beside the corpse, then looked at Yue Lan, "To uncover their true purpose, we still need Wang Defa's help."

"Before that, first revive our companion."

"Miss Yue Lan…"

"Let's begin!"
