"Sheng Chen! You didn't complete the last mission properly again!"
"And you, Mi Le! What are you hiding from?"
"Oh… Sister Xue'er is here too? Is Uncle Guang making you train new recruits again?"
Jun Ci couldn't help but interject, "Sister Youran, what are you talking about?"
That's right, this woman babbling in front of them was actually Qin Youran?!
"Who's Sister Youran to you?"
Qin Youran glared at him, then patted Mi Xue'er's shoulder, "Please, Sister Xue'er, help me keep an eye on these new recruits. They're the laziest bunch."
She whispered the latter half into Mi Xue'er's ear.
She acted exactly like those characters in TV dramas who gossiped behind people's backs.
Duan Chen's mouth twitched.
What was going on?
Were they playing role-playing games with him?
"It seems we three will have to rely on you then?"
Duan Chen looked helplessly at Mi Xue'er, who was still bewildered and hadn't reacted.
"Huh?"
"Sister Xue'er."
They deliberately emphasized the address.
Mi Xue'er blushed crimson, "Can you guys stop calling me that!"
Soon, they understood Mi Xue'er's status in this world.
The only daughter of the Mi family in the capital.
But… first of all, there was no Mi family in the capital of this world!
And the young masters and mistresses, Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan, had transformed into bumpkins who had just arrived in the capital.
Duan Chen, Sheng Chen, and Mi Le were in a similar situation.
"Now, how do we get out?"
Qin Nanyuan mischievously thought about recording a video to send to Qin Youran later and see what kind of persona she had in the illusion.
"Search. All illusions have an item or person similar to a formation point."
Duan Chen activated his True Sight, but found nothing.
"Duan Chen? What are you waiting for? Did you finish printing the files?"
He looked up.
Well, it was Hill.
This illusion truly presented the opposite of people's personalities in the real world.
For example, Hill, a girl who rarely smiled in reality, had become a ray of sunshine here, a chatterbox to be precise.
"This is so strange."
"Let's follow Qin Youran's suggestion and try to complete our respective tasks first?"
The so-called tasks were just some clerical work.
"What about me?"
Mi Xue'er scrambled to catch up with Duan Chen. She had no tasks to do.
"You go and meet Jun Youguang and Qin Youliang. See if there's anything unusual?"
"Okay!"
Duan Chen went to the printing room on the first floor. As soon as he opened the door, he froze.
"Duan Chen?"
This woman had Chu Yue's face…
Perhaps because it wasn't the real person, Duan Chen felt no affection.
And the Chu Yue in front of him pounced on him.
Duan Chen stiffened and pushed her face away.
"What's wrong? Don't you like me anymore?"
[Be clear! She's not me!]
[I know.]
Duan Chen remained calm, smiled, and showed the files in his hand, "I'm here for a mission."
"Fine… you're so uptight, you won't even be intimate with me when we're working."
Duan Chen wanted to roll his eyes.
Chu Yue over there had already rolled hers.
She wasn't this clingy!
What kind of broken illusion was this?!
As Duan Chen finished printing, Mi Xue'er and Jun Ci arrived.
"How was it? Anything unusual?"
"Unusual, extremely unusual!"
Mi Xue'er gritted her teeth. Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan also looked grim.
"What's wrong?"
Duan Chen was surprised.
"Captain, in this illusion, your role seems to have changed to Jun Wuchen."
"Huh?"
Duan Chen raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? Take me to see?"
Mi Xue'er led them to Jun Youguang's office. There, Jun Wuchen was sitting on the sofa, looking humble, while Jun Youguang patted his shoulder.
"Wuchen, you did a great job. If it weren't for you this time, the Spirit Hunter Guild would have suffered much greater losses!"
Jun Wuchen shook his head with determined eyes, "Uncle Guang, you flatter me. This is my duty as a King's Pawn!"
King's Pawn?
You're not a King's Pawn at all!
Duan Chen was helpless, even amused to the point of laughter.
He really wanted to know who had constructed this illusion! 138 Reading Network
"Captain, what should we do?"
"How about we trick Jun Wuchen again?"
Duan Chen's eyes flickered. If Jun Wuchen corresponded to his real-world self, did that mean that if he defeated him, he could break this illusion?
He explained his guess.
"Then does that mean each of us has a corresponding role? And one role is currently playing our real-world selves?"
"Very likely."
"Let's search together!"
Duan Chen's role was Jun Wuchen, and it wasn't hard to find Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan's roles as Chen Ao and Jia Yunlian respectively.
Sheng Chen and Mi Le's were more difficult, as they weren't part of the Spirit Hunter Guild themselves, making them hard to find.
"Sheng Chen, that… is that you in the real world?"
Jun Ci pointed to the side.
Sheng Chen looked over and almost swore.
There was Niya, with a runny nose, looking not very intelligent, and calling Qi Qing "Master" repeatedly.
"It seems… that's him."
Duan Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Brother Duan Chen, what about me!"
"Sister Xue, please wait a moment. Let's find Mi Le's first."
The group searched upstairs and downstairs for a long time.
When Duan Chen saw Bai Ye, heavily made up and provocatively posing, he didn't know what to feel.
"Wow! Duan Chen? Do I look good today? Am I beautiful? Hmm?"
Bai Ye leaned in, rubbing her wooden body against Duan Chen's.
Duan Chen's expression was hard to describe.
Mi Le also felt the urge to punch him.
Even Bai Ye's lipstick smudged onto Duan Chen.
He pushed Bai Ye away with a blank face and looked at Mi Xue'er.
"Don't worry, judging by these roles, our corresponding characters are people we've interacted with before, or close friends. Let's try to find someone in that direction for Sister Xue."
"Okay!"
However, after circling the Spirit Hunter Guild three times, they couldn't find anyone who matched Mi Xue'er.
"No way?"
Mi Xue'er was on the verge of tears.
Just then, a few people walked by, discussing something.
"Have you heard? Yan Qiuren is only a high school student, yet she's already a senior Spirit Hunter Agent!"
"Of course I've heard. Her family background is good, and she's capable. Who wouldn't be envious?"
"Especially her swordsmanship, it's incredibly powerful."
High school student, senior Spirit Hunter Agent, swordsmanship.
Duan Chen extracted these keywords.
"Is it Yan Qiuren?!"
Duan Chen quickly chased after them, "Excuse me, where is Yan Qiuren now? I have a document for her."
