Chapter 130 Doubt

【But speaking of which, I still feel like something is strange?】

Mingmei, not sleepy at night, draped her clothes around herself and sat alone on the edge of the bed, turning her head to look at the flickering candlelight, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

She lowered her head, gazing at the soundly sleeping Mei Jiu, and began chatting with Guigui in her mind.

【Host, what do you think is strange?】

【This whole thing doesn't involve Xie Chen at all.】

【Why does it have to be related to him?】

【Isn't he the big villain?】

Mingmei remembered what Guigui had told her during the day, that Mu Chen and the villain shared a body, and speculated, 【Could it be the power of the plot? Since Xie Chen hasn't been able to come out for a while, the plot can only push other guys out to make waves?】

【Host, did you forget? There's still the Zerg.】

"Oh..."

Speaking of the Zerg, Mingmei couldn't help but exclaim "oh," and then immediately quieted down, glancing at Mei Jiu, who was still fast asleep, before breathing a sigh of relief.

【I remember that bug…it also has Xie Chen's face. Others think Xie Chen was targeted and framed by evil cultivators, but…】

Before Mingmei could finish, Guigui already knew what the host meant.

【Yes, they're clearly in the same gang. But isn't Xie Chen afraid that the bug will do bad things and pin the blame on him?】

【How could he pin it? Didn't you see that he's always surrounded by people? There's evidence to prove his alibi, which further emphasizes the evilness of that evil cultivator. And it highlights his own misfortune, so even if he does it himself in the future, he'll have every reason to say it was the evil cultivator who did it.】

Mingmei explained the villain's thinking to Guigui, who marveled at it.

【Host, is that…how all villains are?】

【Well…at least that's what I would do.】 Mingmei still remembered the principle her mother had told her—bad people have no bottom line. When speculating about someone's evil, don't put yourself on some high ground to look at them, but imagine yourself as that villain standing in the valley.

Think about what else you could do to cross the line.

But as Mingmei spoke, she realized that she seemed to be digressing again, so she tried hard to recall her original train of thought and said, 【For so long, what role has Xie Chen played in these plots?】

【I don't know either.】

This game should have been very advantageous for Mingmei, but because of certain settings, plus the fact that her character's starting age was too young and she couldn't run around alone, she seemed very passive.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Xiaoyao knows more information than she does now.

…

"Whoa, are you serious?"

Although the incident at Bibo Yao Mountain had passed, the people on the mountain couldn't come down for a while. Lu Xiaoyao, Lu Gui, and several other players on the mountain found another opportunity to gather together at night.

In the newly built kitchen of Wan Jian Sect, a group of people was eating hotpot.

While they ate, they shared their respective experiences.

Originally, Lu Xiaoyao and Julian suspected Lu Gui, but after spending time together in the police station in the far north, they opened their hearts to each other and resolved their suspicions.

Among them, the news Lu Gui brought was very shocking.

"New Zerg? Are you sure?" Charlie was the first to be stunned. "Are you sure it's a new Zerg?"

"Otherwise? I'm not Lu Xiaoyao, who sleeps in class and can't even remember what's in the textbook."

Lu Xiaoyao, who was immersed in eating hotpot: ?????

What does this have to do with me, Lu Xiaoyao?

I, Lu Xiaoyao, haven't offended any of you!

"I'm sure that Zerg's form isn't one we've seen in class." Lu Gui said, putting a piece of meat in his mouth. Mandison and Charlie, as Buddhist cultivators, stared straight at him.

Envy, wanting to eat.

But they can't eat.

Otherwise, they would be chased around the house by the senior monk tonight.

"But, I remember it was said that what was imprisoned in the game was the mental body of a Xingyan (Star Flame) Zerg commander, right?"

A Wan Jian Sect player also realized something was wrong. After speaking, he turned to look at Lu Gui, and when he saw Lu Gui slowly nodding, his eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out: "You don't mean to say that this Zerg isn't a Xingyan Zerg at all, but an imposter, right?"

"My god? That's outrageous, isn't it?"

The other players were also extremely surprised by this guess.

It's not that there aren't Zerg who can impersonate or imitate other Zerg or other races, but they only imitate the form and appearance.

The mental body can never be imitated.

But this Zerg seems to be different, it can simulate the mental bodies of other Zerg.

Moreover, it's still a Zerg commander-level mental body.

"Not a Xingyan Zerg…then the other party is at least another Zerg commander-level…" Mandison's eyes showed a hint of worry. "Is there another high-level Zerg that hasn't been discovered?"

"Maybe it's not necessarily a Zerg commander-level." Lu Gui said, with a tone of wild speculation, and added, "Do you think it's possible that it's a Zerg queen?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? A Zerg queen? Would a Zerg queen be casually put into a surprise attack team? If we had killed one back then, even if we didn't know, would the Zerg let it go?"

Mandison disagreed with Lu Gui's guess. He put a piece of mushroom in his mouth, chewed it for a long time, and then said, "Is this new Zerg really real? I want to confirm…are your eyes really reliable? Could there be some game setting trap in this game?"

"My eyes are fine." Lu Gui was very confident in his eyes.

"Why don't everyone think about the things that have happened in their respective sects? What do you think that Zerg is trying to do?" After a long while, Lu Xiaoyao, who had finished the meat in her bowl, couldn't help but say again as the new slices of meat were cooking, "Look, every sect has something going on. Besides that, according to what you've said, many of the players who are familiar with you and who are casual cultivators or from cultivation families have also had some unlucky things happen. What do you think…what does this game want to do?"

"Who knows?"

After being stumped by Lu Xiaoyao's question out of the blue, everyone chuckled and remained silent, mocking themselves for being ruined by playing the game.

The few people gathered together became more and more confused about the plot direction of the game. Everyone was deeply immersed in it and couldn't see what the game was trying to do at all.

"Actually…let's change our thinking."

Lu Gui thought for a while and said, "We entered the game not to investigate some evil spirits, nor to deal with sect affairs. What we're doing is investigating the traces of the Zerg, right?

In other words, what that Zerg wants to do is the key, right? No matter the trivial matters we encounter, or the outrageous and serious events, whether that Zerg is involved in them is the most important thing. And what it's involved in for is also very important.

Besides…not to mention in the game, even outside the game, which family doesn't have some chaotic things happening from time to time?"
