Chapter 848: The King Doesn't See the King?! Same Person's Orders?

How is she here?

No!

More importantly…

Why is she sitting on the giant's shoulder?

When did this massive creature, which doesn't recognize its six relatives and usually snatches players to devour them, become so friendly?

It even allows the food rider to ride onto its head?

Not only Ji Huai was shocked, Su Yang also thought he was hallucinating.

Look at this stance—

The blind dog and the giant both seem to be under her control.

She deliberately arranged it at the Building Body's entrance!

"You're late," Su Qi said in a lukewarm tone.

Though brief, the words contain a great deal of information.

And the directionality is ambiguous.

It seems addressed to Yue Zhao and Ji Huai.

Yet it also feels directed at Su Yang.

The two sides face off, and the atmosphere is unusually eerie.

In Yue Zhao's view, the opponent controls the T1-level monster of this game, truly leveraging full advantage.

While on our side, the numbers are few.

But we win in having ample reserves.

Able to continuously send them over.

Even if there are losses, they still cannot outweigh one life of Su Yang.

"They're comrades fighting side by side within the same game; Lao Ji, why don't you introduce them?" Yue Zhao said calmly.

Ji Huai, hearing the voice, snapped back to attention and immediately said, "She comes from the Taboo and has the Mind Reading innate talent!"

Just ten simple words, yet they made the listener turn pale.

Especially the woman holding Su Yang, her delicate body trembled violently, nearly losing her footing.

She was seen holding her breath, her pupils flickering.

As if she had witnessed a world-shattering terror.

Yet Yue Zhao did not appear that helpless.

But his eyes remained wide, and his heart instantly surged with stormy waves!

He never imagined that within this tiny Death Game, there could be a massive Buddha hidden!

"She comes from the Taboo."

Setting aside the latter half for now, just these few words are enough to send chills down one's spine.

To be precise…

Only those who deeply understand the Taboo would feel horror.

And Su Yang, this unschooled country rustic, has no clue why they are so startled.

"The Taboo, is it strong?" Su Yang asked.

The woman suddenly felt her lips dry and tongue parched, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start.

Yue Zhao, still startled, carefully examined Su Qi.

He put away his playful expression and became solemn.

"Are you a member of the Taboo?"

Su Qi, looking down from above, scrutinized without uttering a word.

The silence was deafening.

Yue Zhao took a deep breath, his face once again adopting a friendly smile, and said, "Forgive my earlier rudeness; the great flood has washed the Dragon King Temple, I hope you can understand."

"The name 'Taboo' thunders in the ears; now I am fortunate to see its members, truly my luck, Yue."

"A narrow encounter; unless something unexpected occurs… you must be here to block me, right?"

"I just don't know, which big figure gave you the order?"

Su Qi saw a clue on Yue Zhao, yet his expression remained calm, "The Taboo has over forty members; besides that person, who else?"

Yue Zhao's pupils narrowed, but soon returned to normal, "Did I get it wrong? I was instructed by the master of the Taboo to come and slay Su Yang."

Su Qi said softly, "That's correct; I too was ordered to come and kill Su Yang."

Yue Zhao was taken aback.

Both received the same order?

What does that mean?

"The one I contacted—clearly said they would arrange everything for me," Yue Zhao said.

"Yes, that's right; I am the person she arranged to come," Su Qi nodded.

Yue Zhao's brows instantly knit.

Obviously, this is not a good sign.

On the contrary, they are competing with a Taboo member for the same person.

The pressure is enormous.

Compared to usual Death Games, this carries an extra sense of transgression.

"What does it actually mean?"

This is the only question in Yue Zhao's mind at this moment.

Since he took the initiative to come knocking and gave a clear price, the subsequent plan was arranged for him.

He even promised that as long as it could be done.

Yue Zhao will have countless honors, wealth, and status in the future.

At first, he did not believe it.

After all, when some cat or dog jumps out claiming to be the Lord of Taboo, wouldn't he be making a laughingstock if he followed them casually?

Therefore, to make the other side prove it, Yue Zhao bluntly said he did not believe the so‑called dog‑shit Organization.

Later…

He personally witnessed what "Power" is!

That was a power that even his Eight-Level Gene Modification plus Seven-tier Talent Evolution found terrifying.

Since then, he has believed that his opportunity has arrived.

Although doubts still linger in his heart.

But thinking from another angle—

What wouldn't the magnificent Lord of Taboo want?

Why must he trap him with this Faith Value?

Yue Zhao also asked for the reason.

The other explained, "You are the player closest to the New Era!"

It is precisely because of that sentence that Yue Zhao began planning for this day.

However…

The accident suddenly arrived.

When he stepped out of the Building Body and saw Su Qi in an instant, an ominous foreboding rose in his heart.

Now he even learned from her that her actions were also directed by the Lord of Taboo.

Isn't that nonsense?

Could it be that the Lord of Taboo can't have it both ways?

Thinking this far, Yue Zhao subconsciously clenched his teeth.

He doesn't believe!

"Since we're friends, why not come down for a chat?" Yue Zhao said loudly.

"You have no right," Su Qi replied bluntly.

Yue Zhao smiled, but wasn't angry, "Perhaps someday in the future you and I will be equals."

"You don't have that right," Su Qi repeated.

With the continuous sarcasm, even if Yue Zhao's mind remained calm, a smile could no longer stay on his face.

He finally realized the other's true intention.

He saw his complexion turn slightly gloomy, his gaze flickering.

It seemed he was contemplating how to handle the current predicament.

Meanwhile, Su Yang was already stunned.

"Su Qi didn't lie to me, Yao Ri sister really is the Lord of Taboo!"

Had I heard such news two days ago, I would have scoffed.

After all, it all sounds like bragging.

One said the top boss is Yao Ri.

Another said the one giving him counsel is Yao Ri.

Either way, pulling either one out alone, Su Yang thought it was nonsense.

But now the two meet.

The information coincidentally matched!

That makes it even more nonsense!

Yet amid the absurdity, Su Yang was also deeply shocked.

Yao Ri sister actually arranged two squads to come take his life?

Why is that?

If it's to kill him.

They could have acted back at the Round Table Meeting.

During the Proposal and voting phases, they couldn't act.

But it wasn't said they couldn't after it ended.

Since that's the case, why go out of their way to tell him so much?

Could it be that they find him more entertaining and deliberately prepared many phrases to tease him?

Recalling the details of the two meetings with Yao Ri sister.

Su Yang does not think she harbors malice.

The complex kindness in her eyes is genuine.

She bluntly said that being her mother's Dependents is a point that still needs investigation.

But the Observer identity surely isn't fabricated, right?

She is an Old Era Remnant Faction member.

She comes from a very ancient era.

Founded the "Taboo" Organization alone.

Also in charge of the Expulsion of old things that trespassed into the New Era Death Game.

All the various elements combine, and Su Yang really can't understand what they're after.

"Could it be…"
