Chapter 814: This Person Is Not That Person! Doesn't Belong to This Game?
This speculation is by no means baseless.
Su Yang's intuition is strong; he senses that Ji Huai has someone following him.
And it's more than one person!
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Lu Zhiwei asked, her head full of question marks.
On the Screen there is only a blue dot, nothing else.
Could it be that Su Yang is hallucinating?
Or is she blind?
"This person is not that person," Su Yang said gravely.
"Do you mean... a Zombie?" Lu Zhiwei was slightly startled.
Ji Huai controls a Zombie to clear a path for him?
But...
That doesn't fit either.
"Liu Pangzi is already dead; where does his assistant come from?" Lu Zhiwei asked, puzzled.
Su Yang's Brain raced crazily as he meticulously recalled every detail of the events' background.
At the same time his hand never stopped moving, the Joystick switching between different player perspectives.
"Lin Jin is inside the Building Body, Su Qi is also there, Qin Yu Zhou hasn't emerged yet."
"You and I are clearly visible inside the Spaceship."
"From this we can see that the people beside him are not any particular player."
"At least it wouldn't be the repeatedly-dead Lin Jin!"
"Radar differs from Qin Yu Zhou's Innate Talent; the latter cannot probe those who have died."
The perspective switches back to Ji Huai; Lu Zhiwei watches for a moment, a sudden doubt arising in her mind.
"By the way... what are the conditions for a Zombie's formation?"
Liu Pangzi died yesterday, yet today he miraculously resurfaced.
Not only that, he can inherit the original memories.
Following this logic, it's highly likely that even the Innate Talent is fully inherited.
"I also want to know the answer to this question," Su Yang said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
Regarding Zombies and such Monsters, Su Qi mentioned little.
According to her understanding, these Monsters are easy to distinguish in the early stage.
Later stages are a bit harder.
Compared with other Monsters that kill on sight, Zombies have a very low danger coefficient.
Its vision is to replace.
Kill the original body and survive in another form.
Although it cannot be recognized by the game rules.
But...
This is already terrifying enough!
"Liu Pangzi just said that Ji Huai gave the Building Body a 'Weakness', so he could walk out openly," Su Yang said.
He then took the Walkie-talkie, changed his tone, and informed Ji Huai of the route.
A moment later he continued: "Putting aside the Weakness's Cooldown Time, how did he make a dead person resurrect as a Zombie?"
"Resurrection?!" Lu Zhiwei was stunned.
"What difference is there from resurrection? Even with short-term memory, Liu Pangzi still follows the plan zealously."
"Moreover, the original host is dead, so the Zombie can logically continue living," Su Yang said.
"You mean... this 'Weakness' gave him the method to create Zombies?" Lu Zhiwei's mind stirred.
Su Yang pondered briefly, nodding slightly: "... perhaps Liu Pangzi lied; this Weakness wasn't the main reason he left the Building Body at all."
Lu Zhiwei suddenly thought of something, her beautiful eyes widening, "Its real purpose is to create Zombies!"
She immediately reconsidered and said, "Zombies can exit the Building Body because the original host is dead; the rules cannot bind a being that shouldn't exist!"
"In other words... this creature that shouldn't appear exceeds the rules' comprehension and control scope!"
"Then... Ji Huai deliberately let Liu Pangzi die!"
This novel viewpoint seems absurd, yet on closer thought it feels reasonable.
Lu Zhiwei's analogical reasoning opened a new line of thought for Su Yang.
"So Liu Pangzi's real intention wasn't simply to find goods for Ji Huai."
"Or perhaps, this 'goods' isn't in the traditional sense," Su Yang said.
Lu Zhiwei gave no reply, but instead thought from another perspective.
She imagined if she were Ji Huai, how she would maximize her own interests in this situation.
At the same time, Su Yang wasn't idle, continuously guiding Ji Huai and buying time.
He must, at this crucial juncture, dig deep into the hidden conspiracy behind.
Soon after, Ji Huai arrived at the destination.
From the Walkie-talkie, he asked, "I've arrived, now what?"
Su Yang pressed the Button and said, "Radar range hasn't shown yet, Ji Da Ge, try walking around."
There was no hesitation, and he immediately began scouting.
Su Yang here kept his eyes on the Screen, and soon saw a green dot appear near Ji Huai.
He hurriedly grabbed the Walkie-talkie and said, "Ji Da Ge, two o'clock direction!"
Ji Huai did not hesitate and immediately rushed toward the target point.
After he retrieved the goods, his voice grew cold, "I didn't tell you to look for goods; is your Brain broken?"
Not goods?
The First Place possibility can be ruled out.
Su Yang, with a slightly apologetic tone, said, "Sorry, Ji Da Ge, I Sighted a green dot and thought it was what you wanted."
Ji Huai, much calmer, spoke, "Fine, I won't blame you; that thing does indeed show a green dot, keep watching it."
Oh?
Su Yang, catching a key piece of information, probed, "Could it already have been taken by another player?"
Ji Huai flatly rejected, "Impossible; the Building Body is still in a normal state."
That sounds like…
It seems the thing he wants is very important.
If taken, it could even affect the layout of the Inside the Building Entity.
Thinking of this, a flash of insight crossed Su Yang's eyes, "Could it be… a Rare Hidden Achievement unlocking condition?!"
Just as Ji Huai continued to probe, Lu Zhiwei suddenly slapped her thigh!
"I've got it!"
The sudden commotion startled Su Yang.
He almost pressed the Button on the Walkie-talkie.
"What's with your jumpy behavior?"
"I know Ji Huai's intention!" Lu Zhiwei said excitedly.
"Tell me."
"Do you still remember the lightning strike we encountered while descending the Iron Frame Staircase?"
"What's up?"
"You said it was a Trap!"
"That was my speculation."
"No known player possesses an Innate Talent to Control celestial phenomena!"
"And then?"
"Then you just said there was someone standing by Ji Huai!"
Su Yang froze, then widened his eyes in delayed realization.
Lu Zhiwei adjusted her wording and continued, "He wasn't standing next to a Zombie at all, but a real existing player!"
"Ji Huai used 'Weakness' to Summon Liu Pangzi, this Zombie, and his primary goal is to find the Divine mysterious treasure."
"But there is another equally important purpose—using 'Teleport' to bring a player over!"
"And the player teleported over… possesses the Trap Innate Talent!"
Listening to her analysis, Su Yang was moved.
The seemingly absurd argument nonetheless contained a few points of reason.
"It seems… everything has closed the loop!" Su Yang murmured.
"Did I get it right? Am I clever or not?!" Lu Zhiwei wore a smug, credit‑seeking expression.
Su Yang cast an admiring glance and said, "So the one who's been watching the Springhead for Ji Huai all along wasn't a Zombie, but a player!"
"To be precise, it's a subordinate of Yue Zhao!"
"Someone in the same group as him!"
"He doesn't belong to this game…"
"Therefore he is not within Radar monitoring!"
