The hotel room door was knocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the sound, Li Jing became alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up and answered the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the person at the door was Jester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester looked at him with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Archer, you should have returned to Longyu two days ago. Why did you suddenly come back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something came up at home, and I came to negotiate a deal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled, glancing left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jester, are you alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester replied nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a major taboo for a Seventh Realm foreigner to enter the country, not to mention secret meetings between you and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the same for the Guardian Gods of White Hawk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester shrugged, not speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing laughed and stepped aside from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in and talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester nodded and entered, sitting on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Jing had closed the door, he began to speak in an indifferent tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bei Yi and Evlyn are still missing, and I’m in charge of finding them. My personal time is limited. Mr. Archer, what’s your purpose for coming back and forth? I suggest you cut to the chase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Jing chuckled and sat down on another sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before we get to the matter at hand, there’s something I’d like to confirm. Have any of the three Guardian Gods from our Longyu already contacted Mr. Jester?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester answered concisely, and then appeared to be both smiling and not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s funny that Mr. Archer, who arranged this for me, doesn’t know about the progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such a comment, Li Jing shrugged as Jester had done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guardian Gods of Longyu, that’s not his level of contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t even know who is currently serving as the three Guardian Gods and what their names are, or whether they are male or female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know who they are, naturally they wouldn’t know who he is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter was handed over by Chen Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would Chen Jing treat him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If unnecessary, he would definitely not provide any information about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing’s attitude was that he should stay out as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they find and question, that would be a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was somewhat worried about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing may not know he had reached the Seventh Realm, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t readily reveal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was a prior agreement, Jester, as the Guardian God of White Hawk, may have some degree of integrity, but if he had the chance, he would not miss the opportunity to identify his true identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a certain risk in this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Guardian God of Longyu coincidentally found out that he was in the Seventh Realm, his response might vary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was still young and had no desire to \"retire\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he want to be controlled as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Jing had no intention of responding directly to him, Jester was somewhat frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agreement, he had indeed honored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was just as Li Jing had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did try to make indirect inquiries, through the Guardian God of Longyu who had contacted him, but the other party had no information about Li Jing, as if he didn’t exist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this matter left Jester very dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Guardian God of a country,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one could presumably gain an understanding of these things easily if one wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Guardian God of Longyu was completely clueless and even stated clearly that he had not received any relevant information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that Li Jing had immense power backing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was covering up for him, concealing his existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this not make Jester curious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that Li Jing didn’t give anything away, Jester didn’t attempt any pointless probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we talk about important matters now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had specifically asked if the Guardian God of Longyu had been in contact with Jester, mainly to confirm whether any Guardian Gods were likely to make their way to North City to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the looks of it, this seemed unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Guardian God of Longyu had already been in contact with Jester, he was clearly now officially involved in the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this official involvement, why would they need an ordinary foot soldier like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Guardian God of Longyu had not yet been in contact with Jester and was still watching the situation, that might be a reason to find him to understand the circumstances better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, Li Jing pulled out the skull that housed Adela’s original body and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jester, you should recognize what this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Jester frowned, and then his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the skull that Li Jing held, there was clearly a pedestal marked with the Demon Array and a thick chip inserted into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others might not know, Jester was absolutely clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an artificial human skull created by the Desert Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one that Li Jing held, could definitely not be a normal artificial human skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there would be no meaning to him revealing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous encounter at the Desert Fortress, Jester had killed over a hundred artificial humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had plenty of samples of their skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Hawk didn’t need such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The data that Li Jing had copied was in Jester’s hands, and the Sky Shield Bureau had already control over the entire Desert Fortress; the research data in the supercomputer had been recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A regular artificial human skull had no value to speak of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they lacked now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were the deleted Beiyi-related details in the supercomputer that were currently being attempted to be restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester was very astute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He easily understood that the skull in Li Jing’s hand was not obtained at White Hawk territory but rather after he had returned to Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artificial human who had murdered people in Longyu had been found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until this point, there was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A case had been cracked on Longyu’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for White Hawk, it didn’t matter; regardless of whether the case had been cracked or not, they were saddled with blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s taking out this skull could not have been to show off his achievement; rather, there was some significant meaning to this skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the intention to clarify, Jester asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adela, the suspect who cursed Augustus and his team to death in Longyu. It took a lot of effort to uncover her,\" Li Jing revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After verification, she is an Artificial Intelligence with an independent personality. Furthermore, I have solid evidence that she was originally controlled by the first victim, Augustus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Li Jing picked up the mobile phone he had bought at Wesbayl airport, called up the surveillance video of the meeting between Adela and Augustus at the hotel, and sent it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what Li Jing had said, Jester was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that his phone was vibrating, he knew that Li Jing had sent something over and hurriedly checked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was a surveillance video, he instinctively clicked to play it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, his face became extremely animated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the change in his expression, Li Jing slowly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not quite sure about the exact identity of Augustus, and White Hawk hasn’t made it clear to Longyu. I wonder if Mr. Jester could reveal it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Augustus was a man with many strategies, but he was relatively straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Jing’s question, while saving the surveillance video, he explained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The research related to artificial humans in the Desert Fortress involves a top-secret plan. I can’t reveal too much about the plan. What I can tell you is that Augustus has a very special identity. Not only does he have a powerful background, but he is also the main person in charge of the plan, specifically the development of Artificial Intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, we suspected Augustus of controlling Bei Yi but being murdered not long before your arrival, Mr. Archer and had already confirmed this didn’t seem to be a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Hawk was indeed efficient in their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, having clarified this with Jester, he also had some speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Augustus was in charge of developing Artificial Intelligence, was something he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing surprising about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester had specifically mentioned that his identity was special and showed such interest in him, presumably because Augustus had a close connection with the Guardian God of White Hawk whom Jester wanted to bring down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief thought, Li Jing said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jester, our deal is a trade. This video comes with a price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, with some chatter, almost made him crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, someone had mentioned the trade in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he sent over the surveillance video, asking for payment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coercive bargain!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this video is of great use to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking something from someone else, it would also be ungracious not to pay...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester moved his mouth slightly before saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Archer, your video is quite valuable, but in the end, it’s just a video. Given our partnership, I won’t allow you to be at a loss.

Right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Jing did not haggle, Jester also didn’t waste words and immediately transferred 500,000 Spirit Crystals to Li Jing’s account on the dark web black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying 500,000 Spirit Crystals for a video, Jester would never do such a foolish thing under normal circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this critical juncture, that video is valuable to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood doing \"business\" with Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Seventh Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone with Immortal Items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t someone who can be simply be satisfied randomly; the price must be significant, no scheming to take advantage of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the account had been transferred, Jester turned to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Archer, that Artificial Human’s skull in your hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jing flashed an embarrassed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For that, you’ll need to pay extra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man’s words, again almost made him crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t make it clear when transferring the 500,000 Spirit Crystals, any normal person should know it includes the video and the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Jing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jester was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seventh realm being, how could he be so shameless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Seventh Realm being, surely isn’t lacking this bit of money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Li Jing as a Seventh Realm being, is working for Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Seventh Realm being working, his salary can’t be low, can it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Working for free?

All the trades between us are from my personal pocket, not sponsored by the White Hawk Official. If you were to deal directly with the White Hawk Official, naturally you would get more, but if it were like that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jing waved his hand to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, there’s no need for Mr. Jester to explain it further.
