"What?!"
Mi Buwei simply recounted the events.
"Taking things out of context," Chu Yue's voice was cold.
"Duan Chen knows nothing, and Shen Cheng has cut off his contact with Chu Yue. Now, whatever Shen Cheng says goes. Duan Chen is already suspicious of us."
Wu Suowei frowned tightly.
"What do we do now?"
"What do we do?"
Chu Yue sneered and narrowed her eyes.
"Let's see who dares to snatch someone from my hands!"
"Snatch?" Mi Buwei's eyes widened.
"You can't be serious? I'm a god, not a robber. You want us to go directly to Building 263 and snatch Duan Chen?" Wu Suowei shrunk back.
This woman was terrifying.
"Who is ultimately to blame for this matter, do I need to say?"
Chu Yue never gave Wu Suowei any pleasantries.
"Then we..."
"Go?" Mi Buwei's expression was hesitant.
He was a rule-abiding person, and this was the first time he had done something like this... he was a little nervous.
"What if Duan Chen doesn't want to come back?"
"He will. This time, don't hide it from him under the guise of his own good. Just tell him the truth."
"Now... that's all we can do."
Wu Suowei had calculated everything, but he had overlooked Shen Cheng, the demigod.
...
Tong Shun Residential Area, Building 263, 1501.
"Mi Buwei came here about ten years ago. At that time, he used a false name, Wang Gang, to join Shen Cheng's side and helped him establish Building 263. I, Xiao Yue, and Gu Hang have lived here from beginning to end. Yan Ming and Liu Teng came a little later. Yan Ming is special. After Mi Buwei left, a vacancy opened up, and Liu Teng introduced him to live here. So, the two of them have a good relationship."
Duan Chen nodded absently.
"Are you still thinking about that?"
Xiao Yang, as a resident of Building 263, naturally wanted to support Shen Cheng.
"There's nothing to consider. Rather than sinking deeper, it's better to withdraw from the struggle early, isn't it?"
"The work here is easier than being a security guard, and every resident is assigned a perfect butler. You have no worries about food or clothing, so what are you still considering?"
Duan Chen shook his head.
He didn't want anyone to interfere with his judgment.
Judging by Mi Buwei's reaction, Shen Cheng was definitely not lying, but whether he had taken things out of context, Duan Chen was unsure. After all, he knew nothing and had always been kept in the dark.
Did Wu Suowei truly kill him in other timelines?
Or, was Wu Suowei approaching him only for the victory of the game?
Was Chu Yue too?
Duan Chen knew nothing.
He had once thought of a saying: "What I see is reality."
But now, he couldn't even see himself clearly.
No matter how powerful the pupil technique, it couldn't see through the past and future.
Duan Chen took out his phone and opened a chat interface with someone.
He couldn't see his own future, but this person might be able to. As the saying goes, a bystander sees things more clearly.
Beijing, Spirit Hunter Guild.
"Ding dong!"
Qin Youran, who was busy, picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to find a message from Duan Chen.
Since she met Duan Chen, almost all the futures she could see involved him. Qin Youran speculated that she might have some connection with Duan Chen, or that Duan Chen played a relatively important role in her life, otherwise she wouldn't have seen futures related to him so often.
Upon seeing Duan Chen's message, Qin Youran was taken aback.
The words in the message clearly indicated that Duan Chen was facing a dilemma or bottleneck. Otherwise, with his decisive nature, why would he ask such a question?
Qin Youran activated her spiritual energy.
Buzz!
Duan Chen's future was now clearly displayed before her eyes.
Mysterious light radiated softly from Qin Youran's body. After a while, she opened her eyes, and a slight smile appeared in her clear gaze.
Suzhou, Tong Shun Residential Area, Building 263.
"Ding dong!"
Duan Chen picked up his phone.
It was Qin Youran's reply.
He had to admit that this girl possessed considerable power to influence others.
Upon seeing the message, Duan Chen's previous confusion and hesitation vanished.
Xiao Yang seemed to sense something and looked up at him, her gaze deep.
It seemed this man had made up his mind.
So, what was the answer? She was truly curious.
Although Shen Cheng had a higher chance of winning than Wu Suowei, Duan Chen was clearly not someone who could be judged by common sense.
In that case, Shen Cheng and Wu Suowei's chances became fifty-fifty, which was intriguing.
Duan Chen got up and walked to the door.
"Huh? Where are you going? Even if you've made up your mind, you won't be able to see Shen Cheng for a few more days."
"Um... I'm going to find someone. Could you tell me where Gu Hang's room is?"
Xiao Yang paused.
"1504."
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Yang didn't know why he was going to Gu Hang's room, only that when Duan Chen returned, his face was radiant, as if he had solved an ancient riddle. She didn't know what he was up to.
Duan Chen didn't explain but just smiled at her.
He stayed there peacefully for three days.
Just as he was about to go and see Shen Cheng to explain his thoughts, Xiao Yang suddenly left.
The orange mark on the back of her hand glowed faintly, emitting a scorching heat.
"What is this..."
"Someone is forcefully breaking into Building 263!"
Xiao Yang gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.
"Their strength is immense!"
"Shall we go help too?"
"Let's check the surveillance first!"
Xiao Yang's room also had a surveillance room. Strangely, the surveillance did not capture the intruder's appearance on any floor.
"Tsk!"
When they arrived at the fifteenth-floor lobby, many people had gathered there.
"Captain?" Jun Ci called out tentatively.
Because Duan Chen's previous state was not right, he had been quite suspicious.
"Mm."
Duan Chen smiled and nodded gently, meeting Mi Xueer's gaze. She gave him a determined and reassuring smile.
Duan Chen returned her smile.
"What's going on?"
"Shen Cheng?!"
Xiao Yang was shocked.
He was here too?!
Shen Cheng scratched his head, "Ah... the strength of this intruder is beyond expectations. I suspect it's that Wu Suowei. Besides him, who else could break through the restrictions I set?"
"What is he doing here...?" Gu Hang's eyes were filled with panic.
"Hmph... Of course, it's for Duan Chen."
Xiao Yue pouted, not having a very good impression of that god.
"Boom!"
A loud bang echoed, and the door was blown to pieces. What followed was not Wu Suowei's voice.
But a charming female voice.
"It seems we are not too late."
"Shen Cheng, this behavior of yours is a bit too childish, isn't it?"
This calm voice was Wu Suowei's.
