“I’m a girl too, so don’t be so brutal. Besides, you’re using your slashes so recklessly; do you even have enough divine power left?”
Wei Yang stared intently at Yuchan.
“Answer me,” Wei Yang snarled, “what did you do to Lu Ran?”
“Don’t be in such a hurry.” Yuchan raised her hand. “Take a look at this.”
Wei Yang saw an object that was both strange and familiar.
A cell phone.
In this game world, how could such a thing exist?
Unless —
“Are you a Player like Yu Tu?”
Yuchan tilted her head, pressing her index finger to her lips.
“Correct, but unfortunately, there’s no reward.”
Wei Yang’s mind raced.
‘Another Player. Chao Yan’s instant-kill and Hypnosis skills were likely given by her. Why is she here? To take me back?’
She clearly had a physical body, unlike Yu Tu. Yu Tu was a conscious entity and couldn’t interact with the game world, but Yuchan could.
“Don’t overthink it.” Yuchan’s finger began swiping across the screen. “Your expression right now is very interesting.”
A sudden, ominous feeling exploded in Wei Yang’s mind. She immediately channeled her divine power, preparing to activate the petrification effect of the Medusa Sapphire.
But Yuchan had anticipated her moves.
“It’s useless. You can’t use your eye’s ability anymore.”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Yang’s vision plunged into total darkness. Color, light, and outlines all vanished instantly.
**[The vision provided by Medusa Sapphire has failed!?]**
“Ah, it’s no big deal,” Yuchan’s voice carried a hint of amusement, “I just deleted that artifact from the game data. Since you were only borrowing it from Ah Li and it wasn’t bound equipment, deleting it was quite easy.”
Before she could finish, a massive surge of gravitational pressure slammed into Wei Yang. She was crushed violently against the ground, finding it difficult to even breathe.
Clearly, this was Yuchan’s handiwork.
“You… you’re really cautious, aren’t you?”
“It’s not being cautious; it’s being meticulous. I’m not like that Fu Ping you just met; I never underestimate others. It wouldn’t be good if you did something unexpected, right?”
Wei Yang realized that from the moment she first saw this woman, she had been led by the nose.
“You’re quite brutal yourself. We’re two of a kind.”
“Hmm~ I had no choice since you wouldn’t listen to me, meow. But I really am a good woman. Depending on my mood, maybe I’ll write the Medusa Sapphire’s data back?”
“Depending on your mood? I’d rather give up my dragon-girl fetish.”
Yuchan kicked her legs, ignoring the jab.
“Here’s a tip, baby. No matter how hard you try, this Special Case cannot be completed.”
Wei Yang didn’t respond, and Yuchan didn’t care.
“Aren’t you even curious why Yu Tu suddenly disappeared after the quest started?”
Wei Yang’s fox ears twitched. She truly hadn’t been able to figure that out.
That wretched rabbit usually teased her, but she never dropped the ball at critical moments. Where had she gone?
“…Let’s hear it.”
“Good girl. I’ll tell you the reason. It’s because this was her plan. Yu Tu wanted to trap you in this barrier-wrapped town from the start.”
Yuchan poured herself a cup of tea, explaining while she sipped.
“Do you know who gave Chao Yan those instant-kill and Hypnosis skills? It was Yu Tu. She’s a Player on Chao Yan’s side. Tricking you into this town and making you think you were on a quest was actually just a cover.”
Wei Yang’s lip curled. Such a reason was too fake.
“That’s too cliché. What else do you have to say?”
“I just couldn’t watch anymore,” Yuchan sighed helplessly, “I’m a good woman, so I came to warn you. If you continue this quest, you’ll only sink deeper. Yu Tu and Chao Yan are planning something terrible. If you waste more time here, you’re finished.”
Wei Yang was speechless. This woman didn’t even know how to come up with a decent lie.
“I don’t believe you. If there’s something to say, I’ll ask Yu Tu myself.”
Yuchan twirled her hair, a look of disdain on her face.
“No good deed goes unpunished. I risked being discovered by Yu Tu to warn you, and this is how you treat me. Besides, why do you trust Yu Tu so much? You’ve only known her for half a day.”
…That was true. She had only known Yu Tu for half a day. Why did she care so much about her?
Wei Yang already had the answer.
‘After I destroyed my eyes and loaded my save for the first time, Yu Tu noticed my scars. She… she was worried about me. That was definitely not fake.’
Yuchan let out an annoyed huff.
“Disgusting. Fine, let’s put it this way: I’m warning you to abort this Special Case immediately and leave Huyin Town. If you leave now, there’s still time.”
Wei Yang bit her lip.
Leave?
Then what about Ah Li, the dragon girl she liked, and those two princesses?
Most importantly, she had already promised to help Lu Ran solve the problem.
“I’m not leaving. Don’t you understand? An Angel’s word is her bond.”
“Sigh, how stubborn. But look at the situation; you can’t even move, can you?”
“Speaking of that, did you forget something?”
Yuchan reacted instantly. Wei Yang was referring to her incantations—the spirit medium incantations that could only be used when one couldn’t see.
“Did you think I forgot?” Yuchan chuckled softly. “I already added one line of code. Incantations are forbidden within this space.”
‘As expected,’ Wei Yang thought. She had tried to summon spirit objects around her earlier, but there had been no reaction at all.
“And even if you generate spirit objects outside the house, they’ll vanish the moment they enter. So, don’t waste your energy.”
Wei Yang lay on the floor, crushed by the gravity.
The situation was absolute garbage, but it wasn’t entirely hopeless. Moreover, it seemed Yuchan hadn’t noticed her small movements at all.
Exhausting the last of her mana, she burst into ecstatic laughter.
“We’ve gathered enough!”
Yuchan looked at the seemingly crazed Wei Yang, completely unable to understand why she could laugh in such a situation.
“No matter what you’re trying to do, it’s a waste of energy. Wouldn’t it be better to just be a good girl and listen?”
“Since you were kind enough to warn me, let me return the favor.” Wei Yang strained with all her might to raise her arm, pointing at the roof. “Watch out for falling objects!”
Yuchan froze, subconsciously looking up —
At that exact moment, the roof directly above shattered. Countless rabbits and a deer fell from the hole, only to vanish into shadows the moment they entered the room.
However, the rubble and debris falling from the broken roof did not disappear. They plummeted straight toward Yuchan’s position.
“What?!”
Yuchan finally realized Wei Yang’s goal.
She had been stalling for time just to continuously generate Tuotu spirit objects on the roof. The weight of countless rabbits had accumulated, and just as the roof reached its weight limit, she summoned the heaviest nine-colored deer to drop from high above.
Wei Yang had craftily utilized gravitational potential energy to perform a targeted demolition of the building right above Yuchan. She used the laws of physics to bypass the incantation restriction, using rubble to attack!
“You’ve got some nerve, Wei Yang!”
Yuchan’s fingers swiped rapidly across the phone, attempting to modify the game data, but it was too late. A massive amount of debris had already rained down.
At that critical moment, Wei Yang suddenly felt the gravity acting on her body vanish.
She stood up slowly. The darkness before her eyes remained, but something was off.
It was too quiet.
To push the roof to its carrying limit, she had used all her mana to summon spirit objects. Now, she couldn’t even summon a rain frog to see her surroundings.
Groping around, she didn’t touch anything. It was like being in a void.
…A void?
‘I see. I think I know where this is.’
—
“Hi~ We finally meet again. You said you’d give me a hug last time, remember?”
As expected.
This was the soul passage created by her goddess boss, Heng’e.
