After Power 39 finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Chi.

This was actually one of their most concerning issues.

Compared to surrendering and dying, losing an opponent was a good thing. They didn't have the time to play detective and find the murderer. However, the fact that there was a player with an unknown camp and attributes lurking in the shadows made them feel uneasy.

What if this person suddenly appeared tomorrow to launch a surprise attack?

Or what if they stole the key and ran away?

That would be letting them take advantage for nothing.

Since they were in personal mode, they naturally had to clear out the players who didn't fit in.

On the other hand, some people had small doubts about Gu Chi's identity as a prophet.

The number of people was too coincidental, and with the prophet, there were exactly 12 people.

There was no evidence at the moment, but it didn't stop them from reminding themselves in their hearts.

And, not sure if they were mistaken, Wuyanwo always felt that Xia Ling's gaze towards Gu Chi was a bit off.

Gentle, joyful, focused... as a woman, she knew exactly what that meant.

The look of love and the thought of a person's gaze were both impossible to hide.

When Wuyanwo first noticed this, it was during the divination yesterday afternoon when everyone was looking at the prophet playing with the ball, including Xia Ling.

There was nothing wrong with this in itself, and Wuyanwo didn't think much about it at the time. In her view, it was normal for a maid to secretly admire her master. In the real world, during the medieval period, which was similar in style to this instance, such romantic affairs often occurred, and it was not uncommon for maids to take the initiative to serve in bed.

But if Xia Ling was a player, then there would be a big problem.

The matter of players falling in love with NPCs had happened before. She knew of more than ten cases, but most of them were based on a long enough time in the instance, and feelings developed over time.

They had only been here for a few days?

It's not easy to fall in love with someone, let alone love.

These were two different things.

Not to mention that Xia Ling was so beautiful that even the maid's outfit that was so ugly couldn't hide her looks. Her initial charm was not less than 10, it was 9.9.

To put it bluntly, girls like her would not lack suitors in real life. It was inevitable that they would be proud, and many objectively good people might not even look at them, so how could they possibly fall for an NPC?

It's just that she had too few interactions with the two people, and Wuyanwo wasn't very sure.

She was still observing.

While looking at Gu Chi on the surface, she was secretly sizing up Xia Ling.

And when Gu Chi faced Power 39's question, he also gave a clever answer, saying, "According to what you said, your relationship is not purely cooperative, so he shouldn't give up this opportunity. He will come to you on his own."

"If he doesn't go, I'll personally take action and bring him to you."

After that, Gu Chi glanced at everyone again, his tone indifferent, "The same goes for all of you. If it's time to go, don't leave anyone behind."

He seemed eager for them to leave.

The players looked slightly embarrassed.

They were being rejected...

But what he said made sense.

The prophet had wanted them to leave quickly from the beginning, so he had specially helped with the divination task.

If it were them, they wouldn't want others to stir up trouble on their turf either.

But even though the reasoning was sound, the way he said it was a bit irritating to the players.

Especially to Vinegar Apple.

What kind of identity dared to speak to the Fourth Catastrophe like this?

Ah?

999 in all attributes?

You're right, we'll leave right away!

Power 39's mood was quite good, and he said with a smile, "With the words of the prophet, we can rest assured."

He didn't care whether Gu Chi's words were pleasant or not, or whether Gu Chi could find the person. After all, he had basically confirmed Gu Chi's identity. There was no need to search. He just had to play along a bit, ask for everyone's sake, so they wouldn't have any reservations and not come to the group fight tomorrow.

The core of his "new gameplay" lay in the last step, where everyone gathered together and no one left.

The map of this instance was not small, and it would be a bit troublesome to find someone. It would waste a lot of time to clear the instance.

Gu Chi's last words really struck a chord with him. The big brother with 999 in all attributes personally spoke up, so who would dare not come?

Power 39 had a vague feeling that Gu Chi seemed to have already seen through his thoughts and was deliberately cooperating with him.

Or it could be said that he was cooperating with Gu Chi.

Gu Chi had specially called everyone over last night, indicating that he also wanted all the players to gather together.

Their goals were the same, no matter who was cooperating with whom. They were now on the same front line.

Power 39 actually didn't have to kill those who didn't surrender.

It was quite comfortable to hear someone calling him a big shot, and the other party even told him the whereabouts of the chessboard. It could be said that he was very sincere, and it was unlikely that he would reveal his abilities to Gu Chi.

But he was afraid of any unexpected occurrences.

He didn't like to hand over the initiative to others.

Power 39 also didn't want to see those who didn't surrender tell others about this matter. He still needed the prophet's help to control the situation.

Although he thought that the guy who didn't surrender was pretty good, at least he had good insight, for him, the value of the guy who didn't surrender dead was higher than alive. So he chose to silence him, cutting off any possibility of an accident at the source.

Now, apart from Gu Chi, he had the highest attributes on the field, and Gu Chi was playing a neutral role, similar to a judge - Gu Chi might just want to see them fight.

Then let them fight.

He still had an ace up his sleeve and wasn't afraid of Gu Chi taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Power 39 was looking forward to the scene tomorrow.According to the development of the situation, there must be a battle between him and Gu Chi.

Gu Chi, with all attributes at 999, must already have the upper hand, right?

But when he told the respected prophet that he had already seen through everything, how would the prophet react?

And when he revealed his trump card and completed a stunning reversal, how would the prophet respond?

Praying mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. There is no doubt that Gu Chi is the oriole, and he is just the praying mantis. But the oriole doesn't know that this praying mantis has a gun that can shoot the oriole.

With a power of 39, he only needs to confirm one last thing, and the game will be in the bag.

Don't be fooled by his appearance as a big, burly uncle. In fact, he is very meticulous.

When it comes to strategic planning, he considers himself second, and not many people dare to claim to be first.

"Mr. Charles, Miss Ghostly Child is here," the maid said, approaching quickly and reporting in a low voice.

What, my forbidden spell is here?

Gu Chi's heart moved slightly and he said, "Please let her in."

Ghostly Child never wears the same clothes twice. Today, she wore a light blue linen dress with a small, delicate white fur coat. The hem of the dress only reached her waist, adorned with a light yellow fur ball, swaying as she walked, exuding the youthful vitality of a young girl.

"Oh? You're all here."

Ghostly Child came into the living room, slightly surprised to see the sofa filled with people. "I thought I would be the first one here."

The charming woman smiled and said, "We live relatively close by."

"In fact, I'm quite close too." Ghostly Child greeted everyone and then walked to Gu Chi, with a light and lively step. She handed the paper bag to Gu Chi and tilted her head, smiling as she said, "Prophet, please take a look."

"Thank you," Gu Chi said.

Ghostly Child's eyes curved with a smile. "No need to thank me, it's only right."

The other players didn't think there was anything wrong with the brief conversation between the two, but to the charming woman's ears, it seemed strange.

She noticed that the prophet's attitude towards Ghostly Child was much more gentle than towards them, and his words were warmer.

Recalling that last night he had hinted at protecting Ghostly Child and Xia Ling...

Could this man be a womanizer?

Then why not treat her better too?

The charming woman frowned in dissatisfaction. What a lousy taste.

In the expectant gaze of Ghostly Child, Gu Chi picked up the magic books from the paper bag, flipping through them one by one as if checking the contents.

Nine of the books were relatively new and well-preserved, as if they had just been cleaned. The black cover was embossed with the pattern of a magic circle, and inside were recorded various magic spells passed down by the Iris Church.

Each book contained not just one skill, but a series, ranging from low to high levels, with 1-2 spells in each level.

If a player had dozens of Eternal Seals and wasn't short of money to buy skill essences, then this dungeon would be enough to graduate as a grand mage.

Only the last book was different.

It wasn't a book, but a long, narrow box made of a material that resembled dried birch wood, presenting a kind of dead gray color.

Inside the box was a scroll, which Gu Chi took out and untied the black string tied to it. As he unfolded it, twisted characters came into view—not distorted handwriting, but characters that exuded a vividness, as if the fresh ink was still flowing on the paper.

These characters looked like English, and also like French, mixed with many pictorial symbols. Gu Chi couldn't understand a single word.

But it didn't matter, the system would help him read it.

【Acquired special ability: Forbidden Spell - Ashes of Annihilation】

【Forbidden Spell - Ashes of Annihilation: An ancient forbidden magic that requires a ritual item to unleash, causing devastating damage to the current area.】

Another special ability.

The introduction was as simple as ever, but Gu Chi had seen the spectacle of Ashes of Annihilation being cast with his own eyes. It was like an alien coming in a spaceship and firing a shot, and its power was enough to kill all the players present, and might even turn the entire city into ruins.

At this moment, Gu Chi's gaze towards Ghostly Child was particularly gentle.

If it weren't for the need to maintain his image, he would definitely express his most sincere gratitude to the girl, just as he had done to Suo Tu in the beginning.

"You did well," Gu Chi finally chose to say.

The light in Ghostly Child's eyes dimmed little by little, and her smile slowly disappeared. She lowered her head, her voice somewhat hoarse. "Is that so?"

The clear and crisp voice of the girl suddenly became emotionless, like a stone that had been frozen in the cold storage all night, cold and stiff.

Power 39 looked at Gu Chi, then at Ghostly Child, and quietly pressed down on the sofa, taking two steps back.

The charming woman frowned again. She heard a kind of deep disappointment in Ghostly Child's voice.

Why was she disappointed?

The man with the monocle quietly wound his pocket watch.

The other players sensitively noticed Ghostly Child's anomaly and looked puzzled.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She was fine just now, wasn't she?"

"I don't know..."

Whispering Apple and Lava Drinker spoke quietly, feeling very confused about Ghostly Child's change in mood.

Just a minute ago, the girl was happy and her smile was quite infectious, making everyone else feel better.

Although Ghostly Child didn't say anything, every player could tell that these magic books were probably the items needed for her personal mission. She handed them to the prophet like a little girl eager for praise, and the prophet also affirmed her efforts, like a father praising his daughter. Wasn't this a good outcome?

Not at all.The reason why Ghostly Child was so tolerant of Gu Chi and unwilling to be suspicious of him was simply because she had a very good impression of this man.

Although they had only been together for half a day, it had brought her a very pleasant experience. Isn't playing games just for fun?

Gu Chi was good to her, so she naturally wanted to believe in him.

Whether or not she was being manipulated emotionally was not important. If she didn't feel anything for Gu Chi, then even if Gu Chi maxed out his social skills, it wouldn't affect her.

Deep down, she didn't lack a bit of enjoyment from this manipulated feeling.

So Ghostly Child went on a killing spree at the cathedral last night.

From an ordinary believer to a missionary, to a priest, and then to a bishop, she killed anyone who stood in her way... That old woman named An Na was very powerful, and she almost died at the hands of An Na. She fought with all her might to barely win that battle, and as a result, she was severely injured.

That's why she came so late.

With even the bishop dead, the Iris Church naturally wouldn't make much noise.

The church didn't open today because it was filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the ceiling was dripping with blood.

Ghostly Child spent a lot of time healing and wiped the bloodstained books clean.

Whether it was for her own mission or for the childhood wish of the prophet, Ghostly Child took it very seriously.

She could guess that the real key thing should be the box containing the forbidden curse, but she still brought the other books over. After all, she had promised the prophet that she would definitely follow through.

She didn't have many chances to meet him, and Ghostly Child also hoped to leave a good impression on the prophet.

However, when the prophet finished reading all the books, including the forbidden curse, and admitted that she had done a good job, her mission still wasn't marked as completed.

This was an ironclad logic, and no matter how unwilling Ghostly Child was to believe it, she couldn't convince herself this time.

The prophet was a fake.

At least this wasn't the true wish of the prophet.

She had come overjoyed, but what she reaped was a complete lie.

Did they think she was young, naive, and so they could bully her and use her to achieve their own goals?

She could endure manipulation, endure insults, endure isolation... She had always done so in real life, enduring many malicious and unfair things, but she couldn't endure deception.

Ghostly Child's shoulders trembled lightly: "I trusted you so much, why did you have to lie to me..."

"Bang!"

The glass of the French window suddenly shattered.

This change came extremely fast. Just when he wanted to drink more lava, the cup in his hand also "bang" burst, and the hot tea spilled all over his pants.

Gu Chi: "???"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Following that, the chandelier, the porcelain vase, the crystal ornaments on the cabinet... all the fragile items around them shattered one after another.

Everyone: "???"

What's going on?

Before they could react, a strange gust of wind blew through the living room, chilling them to the bone.

The man with the monocle was shocked to find that Ghostly Child's attributes were rising rapidly.

The time on the pocket watch was originally 01:56, but now the minute hand was spinning rapidly as if it had been accelerated four times, dragging the hour hand along, spinning three times in a row, and finally stopping at 04:56!

Increased by 300 total attributes!

"Why did you lie to me?"

The girl looked up at Gu Chi, her hair dancing in the wind, growing longer and longer, reaching her waist in no time. Her originally clear and bright eyes were now hidden, with narrowed pupils and enlarged whites, exuding a cold and sad aura all over her body.

She still looked beautiful, but her face was unusually pale, and the delicate expression on her face was lost, leaving only exhaustion and sickness.

The players were shocked and quickly backed away, and the Feng Shui Master even somersaulted behind the sofa.

"What the hell, what kind of situation is this." Gu Chi was a little overwhelmed.

He always liked to check other people's attributes for no reason, just to ensure that he was in a relatively safe environment. But now there was no need to check. Just the aura emanating from Ghostly Child made him understand that the girl at the moment was not someone he could provoke.

The key was that she had always been lively and sunny before, who knew she would turn her face so thoroughly. Compared to her normal state, Ghostly Child's combat power had at least tripled at this moment.

"What a melodramatic villain." Sour Apple couldn't help but comment.

Although the players dodged quickly, they didn't move far. The noble family's living room was quite large, and they found a hiding place to watch the show.

After all, this was at the prophet's house. No matter how fierce Ghostly Child was, she couldn't beat someone with all attributes at 999. If the prophet got angry and killed Ghostly Child, they might even be able to rush up and pick up some old coins.

Xia Ling also slipped behind the wine cabinet with the charming woman.

They had discussed this situation in advance. If Ghostly Child went crazy and chased after him, Xia Ling would blend into the crowd. After all, Gu Chi could cover ten miles in one step, and no one could kill him. If they ran away together, their player identities would be confirmed, and there would be no room for denial.

Li Liang, with a strength of 39, also distanced himself from the two.

He wasn't afraid of Ghostly Child, but it had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to get involved.

It would be better to fight, so he could see the prophet's true strength.

To be honest, Gu Chi was a little caught off guard. He hadn't expected Ghostly Child to get angry so quickly. He was still in the process of putting the forbidden curse into the box!

For the full version, visit [ pawℝead.com ].

But the more so, the less he could panic.999 full attributes, even if there's really no way, I have to hold steady.

So many pairs of eyes are watching him. If he shows any emotions that he shouldn't have, this game will be over.

Gu Chi could only continue his actions slowly and methodically, putting the forbidden curse into the wooden box, covering it, and putting it back into the paper box.

But at the moment he took it out, the wooden box disappeared without a trace.

Gu Chi calmly looked at the girl, "I didn't lie to you."

"Is that so? Then why didn't I receive a prompt?" Ghostly Child's nails lengthened, her eyes dimmed, and her voice was cold and desolate, "Mr. Prophet, do you know? I would rather you command me, threaten me, or force me, than deceive me. You don't even want to explain a few words to me. I know I may be walking into a dead end, but I can't accept lies, especially your lies, Mr. Prophet. So even if I die, I..."

Ding!

[Personal task "Prophet's Wish" completed]

[Remaining task: Leave the Omuda District]

The girl's voice suddenly stopped.

So, was it a system delay?

Ghostly Child: "..."

Gu Chi waited for two seconds and asked, "You too?"

Ghostly Child: "..."

Her eyes gradually regained their color.

Her hair shortened, her nails retracted, and the sickly and cold aura around her dissipated.

The deer eyes are one of the most beautiful eye shapes, big and round. And at this moment, the embarrassment in Ghostly Child's eyes was also big and round.

The air was unusually quiet.

Other players: "..."

Why did it stop?

Why don't you continue speaking?

Gu Chi knew that the girl should have received the prompt. While feeling relieved, he said calmly, "Finish what you were saying. Even if you die, what?"

His calm tone contained seven parts of aloofness, two parts of intolerance, and one part of hidden anger.

It seems that the Prophet is angry!

At this moment, Ghostly Child no longer had any signs of being corrupted. She seemed to have returned to the sunny and lively girl from before in an instant. The single-eyed man found that his pocket watch started to reverse, freezing at 01:56 once again.

Seeing the girl not speaking, Gu Chi's eyes turned cold, "I'll ask one last time, what were you about to say?"

"I was going to say... even if I die, I want to apologize to the Prophet!" Ghostly Child clenched her fist, her face blushing, and she bowed deeply to Gu Chi, "I'm sorry, Prophet, please forgive my rudeness!"

The fur ball on her little coat bounced a few times with her movements.

Other players: "???"

What's going on now?

Is there someone who halfway through being corrupted manually cancels it and then apologizes?

Vinegar-soaked apples and drinking more lava looked at each other in confusion, seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

Power 39: Damn, this is amazing!

With the situation developing to this extent, if he didn't know in advance that Gu Chi had a problem, he would definitely believe that Gu Chi was a real prophet, and the kind who would stand by his side to the end. No one could persuade him otherwise, and he would confront anyone who opposed Gu Chi.

Whether a person's acting skills are good or not mainly depends on their eyes, and Gu Chi's eyes were full of drama.

His tone was also just right, maintaining a high level of aloofness while letting Ghostly Child see that he was angry.

After this game ends, he must add Gu Chi as a friend and ask if he has received an Oscar from anyone. If not, he will have one made and send it to Gu Chi!

Ghostly Child was still bending over, secretly looking at the man in front of her with some guilt.

Gu Chi glanced at the furniture and decorations that the girl had messed up and said, "Deal with it yourself."

Ghostly Child hurriedly looked up, "I'll compensate! I promise to buy the exact same... no, even better for the Prophet!"

Gu Chi ignored her, got up and left the living room, not even taking the paper bag box.

When you're angry, you have to look angry.

Ignoring the strange looks from the other players, Ghostly Child hurriedly followed, "Prophet, don't be angry, I know I was wrong, I... I really didn't mean to."

"I didn't mean to" is really stupid. The police won't not arrest you for unintentionally killing someone, and Ghostly Child knew this too. But in her current state of anxiety, she couldn't think of a better excuse.

In that state, the destruction of the surrounding objects was indeed beyond her control. It was part of her skill effect, and her skill was a passive skill triggered by emotions. The only thing she could do was to cancel it in time.

Power 39 also came over and said to Gu Chi, "Prophet, we haven't finished our business. Do you want to chat for a bit longer?"

Gu Chi paused for a moment, "Speak."

Power 39 said, "We want to use the Prophet's garden and ask the Prophet to help us with a divination."

Gu Chi glanced at him, "Do you want to fight in my place?"

"Please rest assured, Prophet, we promise not to dirty the garden." Power 39 smiled, "Mainly, we want to ask for a divination in a different place, and it's quite troublesome for you to come with us. If you don't mind, we can also go to the forest or the foot of the mountain."

"No need to be so troublesome, just do it here." Gu Chi said, "I'll personally see you off."

After that, he asked, "Anything else?"

Power 39 stood straight, "No, Prophet, take care."

Gu Chi nodded and went upstairs to the study, not looking at Ghostly Child again the whole time.Ghostly Child watched the two of them chatting, standing on the side like an outsider. When Gu Chi went upstairs, she didn't follow. Her face was full of regret and self-blame, which made Power 39 sigh heavily. This girl was indeed cute and likable, but unfortunately, she was too emotional.

Power 39 didn't underestimate the girl, nor did he think she was foolish. On the contrary, he believed that Ghostly Child was smarter than many players in the game.

From the speed at which the girl turned dark, it was clear that she had already suspected Gu Chi's identity. Otherwise, why would she be so quick to resort to violence?

If Ghostly Child had never doubted Gu Chi, then when she handed over the task item without any prompts, her first reaction should have been surprise, not anger.

So Ghostly Child was not unaware of this, she just didn't want to think about it.

On the other hand, Gu Chi's acting skills were too damn good, so Power 39 didn't think Ghostly Child was naive. After all, the girl's age was there, she might not have even graduated from college yet. Meeting an old fox like Gu Chi, she was bound to be deceived. If he were eighteen, the result wouldn't be much different.

Power 39's evaluation of people had always been very objective, because only with enough objectivity could he have a clearer understanding of himself and his enemies.

In the living room, everyone sat back on the sofa.

Some of those who had doubted Gu Chi's identity as a prophet were now more convinced after Ghostly Child's outburst.

Being able to complete the task was the best proof.

But not everyone thought so.

The charming woman curiously asked Xia Ling, "Have you seen what the prophet looks like?"

Xia Ling was about to say no, but then she remembered that Gu Chi had shown his face to Ghostly Child, so she nodded. "Yes, I have. He occasionally doesn't wear a mask at home."

The charming woman gossiped, "Is he handsome?"

Xia Ling affirmed from the bottom of her heart, "Very handsome."

Could her husband not be handsome?

Initial charm: 100!

The charming woman's eyes sparkled with interest. "Then before I leave tomorrow, I'll have to find a way to take off his mask and see how handsome he really is."

The Feng Shui Master sneered, "Shallow."

The charming woman rolled her eyes and couldn't be bothered to deal with him.

The maid who had been hiding in the kitchen finally came out, quietly picking up a broom to clean up the broken glass on the floor.

Although the scene just now was terrifying, for them living in the magical era, it was not incomprehensible.

Seeing this, Ghostly Child felt even more guilty and walked over, whispering, "I'm sorry for scaring you just now. Let me help."

The maid was a little surprised and a little scared, and quickly said, "No need, you're busy, I can do it myself."

She didn't dare to let Mr. Chase Lee's guest do the housework.

Power 39 passed by Ghostly Child, "Let's go, we still need to discuss the plot."

"Okay." Ghostly Child followed Power 39 back to the living room and sat down next to Xia Ling.

The boy who had been carrying a skateboard yesterday was now dressed in punk style without the skateboard. He smiled at Ghostly Child and said, "I don't think you need to care too much about the NPC's thoughts. Passing the task is enough. Having feelings for them is ultimately between two people from different worlds, don't you think?"

The Feng Shui Master added, "The game is just a game, it should be distinguished from reality."

The reasoning was correct, but coming from him, it had an inexplicable hint of sarcasm.

The charming woman thought to herself, perhaps this was the reason he was able to obtain the Eight Trigrams Plate of Wushen.

Ghostly Child didn't indulge him and retorted, "You talk as if real life is so great. Not to mention bullying and hypocrisy, without the game, would you still be able to pay your mortgage?"

The Feng Shui Master: "..."

Everyone: "..."

If you want to scold him, just scold him. Don't use area-of-effect attacks!

Most people wouldn't sell their old coins, they didn't have enough for themselves, and they wouldn't use these abilities to commit crimes. They also didn't want to attract the attention of the government, so they still had to pay their mortgages. Reality was sometimes so ruthless.

If you want to make money with your abilities, you have to be prepared to be watched.

"Alright, let's not talk about this." Power 39 redirected the conversation. "Today, those of us without tasks went to find some clues. Let's go through them one by one, starting with me."

The key couldn't be snatched until tomorrow morning, so they had nothing to do today. They might as well go around and look for clues to complete the public tasks.

Power 39 hadn't provided much useful information last night, so as to avoid being called a freeloader. After returning with the chessboard, he specifically went to ask a few NPCs, and as a result, he hadn't even had lunch until now.

The clues they found weren't particularly special, but they could be used to make up points for the public tasks.

Ghostly Child also received some information during the task, which further improved the world view.

"The Grand Bishop in Purple isn't in the Omuda District," Ghostly Child said.

If there had been more than just Bishop Oliana in the church last night, with another Grand Bishop in Purple, then she probably wouldn't be able to come back.

There weren't many Grand Bishops in Purple in the Iris Church, and no more than ten were known. Each of them was powerful and influential.The Omuda District should have been personally managed by Okled, and he also had a key to the outside world. However, Okled left here a few days ago for some reason and has not returned yet. This means that the person delivering the goods tomorrow may be the only key NPC for completing the public task.

He will stay here for about half a month, collecting information to feed back to the headquarters of the church, which happens to coincide with their dungeon time limit.

Xia Ling seemed to be thinking. Combining Gu Chi's previous speculation, this might be the final piece of the puzzle to complete the world view.

Someone attempted to destroy the crystal ball from the outside world and destroy the Omuda District. Okled happened to leave at this time, which is very suspicious no matter how you think about it.

This area is supposed to be extremely concealed, and entry and exit must be permitted by the Iris Church. However, even so, it has been infiltrated by businesses and the government, and undercover agents have been planted, which is enough to prove that there are problems within the church. Okled may be one of them.

"The Archbishop in Purple is not here, and you've already taken care of Oliana, so our work tomorrow will be easy," Power 39 said thoughtfully. "You guys who ran the mission last night should rest well tonight and leave it to us."

Vinegar Apple deliberately pointed out, "Don't worry, we won't compete with you for points."

Power 39 laughed, "Then let's call it a day?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ghostly Child and reminded her, "You still have to go buy new furniture for the prophet, so I suggest you hurry up. We'll be forming a team tomorrow afternoon."

Ghostly Child immediately stood up, "I'm leaving... wait."

The girl took a few steps and then turned back, grabbing Xia Ling's arm and pitifully coquettishly said, "Sister, you have a good relationship with the prophet. Please put in a good word for me and ask him not to be mad at me, okay?"

Xia Ling blinked, "No problem, you can rest assured."

Someone actually called her sister. Just based on this address, she had to make Gu Chi get rid of Ghostly Child quickly.

Those who die early will not know the truth, and they will be far away from this deceitful personal game.

In the end, everyone agreed to disturb the prophet again at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

They still had one night to enjoy the nightlife of the city.

For example, the high-quality service at the Eaton Mansion.

Xia Ling sent the players out to prevent anyone from secretly staying behind to spy on the military situation. When she saw Power 39 and the others leave the garden gate and depart, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and picked up the paper bag that Ghostly Child had brought and ran upstairs to find Gu Chi.

She was really nervous when Ghostly Child lost her temper just now. Fortunately, Gu Chi had made preparations in advance.

As soon as Xia Ling entered the room, she saw Gu Chi sitting at the desk, lost in thought, with his mask on the table, tapping his fingers.

She put the paper bag on the chair, walked over with a smile, and leaned against Gu Chi from behind, pecking him on the face before jokingly asking, "What's wrong? You look so troubled. Did Ghostly Child scare you?"

"No, but I've confirmed one thing," Gu Chi straightened up, letting the girl sit in his lap, and said, "Power 39 has confirmed that I am a player. Even if he sees that Ghostly Child completed the task through me, it hasn't changed his mind."

Xia Ling tilted her head and looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Gu Chi replied, "He didn't ask if your personal task was completed."

This was a very small detail, and it was also Power 39's negligence.

Xia Ling hadn't noticed this herself. She hadn't called Power 39, but he had directly told them that all non-PVP personal tasks had been completed, clearly not including Xia Ling. In Power 39's mind, he should have already labeled "Double Wolves" on both him and Xia Ling.

"Did you get the skill?" Xia Ling asked.

Gu Chi nodded, "Got it."

"Then it's okay," Xia Ling said nonchalantly, "Our goal has been achieved, so it doesn't matter if the public task isn't completed."

That's true. Ghostly Child was really powerful. Gu Chi had just listened to the conversation downstairs. This girl could actually take on a group and kill the Archbishop alone.

Gu Chi could clearly feel the breath of the girl when she entered the "dark" state. At that time, Ghostly Child was very close to him, and he knew that she could take on ten of him with just one breath.

Ghostly Child obviously had more than just a total of 156 attributes.

But Gu Chi didn't leave so quickly because of his heart, nor was it all because he was "angry." A large part of the reason was Ghostly Child's personality.

This girl was too simple, not like she was pretending, but more likely due to certain environmental or family factors that had formed an extreme personality with two sides.

One side was sunny and lively, and the other was a sickly bloodthirsty side.

If he didn't leave, the girl would probably keep coaxing him until he wasn't angry anymore. Gu Chi felt a bit sorry for her, so he went upstairs first and let Ghostly Child chat with the other players to change her mood.

As for the final stage led by Power 39, Gu Chi and Xia Ling had the same idea. If he could still control the situation tomorrow, he would try to get Ghostly Child out first to avoid her knowing the truth in the end, causing secondary harm. This was the best way to handle it for now.

But if he could take down Power 39 first and keep him from speaking, Ghostly Child could stay. Gu Chi was more than willing to clear the level with the girl. It's just that the difficulty was a bit high.

Power 39 knew he was a player, but he still acted relaxed and confident. Either he was doing nothing, or he was confident that he could beat all attributes of 999.

Gu Chi was more inclined to the latter. A veteran player with over 200 attributes couldn't be easily intimidated.

Maybe pretending to be big would work?Gu Chi pondered for a moment, then pinched the girl's waist and said, "You pick a skill first. Anyway, we should prepare for the worst."

"It's not bad at all, it's already very good," Xia Ling said with a smile. She was easily content; achieving one goal at a time was enough for her, like having only one small goal with Gu Chi at a time.

"Let's go, accompany me to the garden," Xia Ling said after touching the skill book, pulling Gu Chi's hand as they went downstairs.

Players learn skills quickly and without cost, but to choose the right one to lock in with the Eternal Brand requires careful trial and error, repeated casting to understand the actual effects, and to see if it can form a combo or a combination with the skills they already possess.

Xia Ling also casually learned a forbidden spell.

After all, it was a special ability, and it looked good to have, even if it was only for a day.

She didn't plan to lock the forbidden spell. There was only one Solitary Day Flame Crystal, and aside from whether it was a waste to use a skill lock for a backup skill, if Gu Chi found out, he might give her the Solitary Day Flame Crystal. Xia Ling didn't want that; having Gu Chi's ball was enough for her.

Gu Chi watched the girl darting around the garden, testing her skills, while he pondered over the public task for the next day, suddenly struck by a new idea.

If successful, they might even get their hands on a legend.
