Chapter 823 The Traitor Revealed, Zhang Xuerou Under the White Robe
Click!

Bai Wan had never imagined that open worlds could be used in this way, but his dream last night gave him inspiration.

This made him think of the possibility that he could see the true form of the shadowy figure.

Wow!
The magical open world now appeared on the screen, and Bai Wan gently dragged the screen with her hand.

An incredibly magical scene unfolded: the camera in the video started shaking, shifting from facing the captain to other angles, and cabinets and furniture that were not previously captured by the camera began to gradually appear.

"Sure enough!"

Bai Wan was also looking at the screen in shock. His open world was simply unreasonable. He used the open world to create scenes that should not exist, even though the camera had not recorded them.

Bai Wan held his breath, his mind completely tense, watching as the camera that was originally facing the captain began to rotate, turning in another direction, to the position where the dark figure in the mirror was standing.

Bai Wan's thoughts even stopped at this moment, because he felt an unparalleled sense of familiarity with that figure.

As the camera gradually shifted, Bai Wan finally saw it.

In front of the door, a figure dressed in white clothes and a white hood appeared in front of the camera. The camera was looking up from below, and you could see that the figure was wearing shoes, and his clothes and body were completely covered in white.

Ultimately, Bai Wan saw that person's face in the open world.

A cute and pretty face peeked out from under the hood. At that moment, that lovely face calmly gazed at the captain, revealing no emotion.

At this moment, Bai Wan felt somewhat lost, and even her thoughts seemed to freeze.

Because that face was... Zhang Xuerou.

Bai Wan looked at her with some surprise, and after looking at her carefully several times, he confirmed that it was indeed Xue Rou.

At the same time, the entire computer malfunctioned, and the screen went black due to a bug that caused it to be infected.

Click!

The computer screen went dark, leaving Bai Wan sitting there blankly.

Is Xue Rou the mole?
why?
Bai Wan tried to think rationally: perhaps there was a mole who was impersonating Xue Rou?
But that doesn't make sense... It was clearly trying to avoid being photographed, so it stood far away.

Since no one anticipated having the ability to open the world, no one in the world but themselves could see the mole's true identity, making this disguise pointless.

Bai Wan immediately took out his phone and called Xue Rou, but no one answered after dialing her number.

Xue Rou boarded the plane around 7 p.m. last night and should have arrived by now; she couldn't possibly still be on the plane.

Bai Wan tried to steady her trembling hands and sent a few more WeChat messages.

[I saw your reply...]

Reply to me...

However, the other party still did not reply.

Bai Wan's thoughts were a bit jumbled at that moment when the phone rang again.

The call to Bai Wan came from Su Yuening.

"Bai Wan, why aren't you here yet? Come to headquarters quickly, something terrible has happened..."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Bai Wan replied immediately.

He also knew the urgency of the situation, since the Black Smiley Face had fallen, so he immediately rushed to headquarters.

They took the elevator to Li Shoushi's office, where only Su Yuening and Li Shoushi were present. The others had probably finished their meeting and left; Bai Wan was late.

"Sorry, I overslept."

Bai Wan said apologetically that he had a very bizarre and strange dream last night and didn't wake up until 10 a.m.

When Li Shoushi saw Bai Wan arrive, his expression relaxed a bit, and he said, "You've finally come, family... I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come."

"What exactly happened?" Bai Wan couldn't help but ask. "The black smiley face fell?"

Li Shoushi nodded, looking exhausted, as if he hadn't slept much all night. He said:
"Just last night at 2 PM, the Black Smiley Face crashed in the Kingdom of Haili, a powerful nation. Their Captain-Commander already possesses S-rank power and is likely to become the next Yonko Demon Slayer, but..."

"After the black smiley face fell last night, the entire country was shrouded in mist. According to our tests, there is no sign of life inside. It is very likely that the country is gone."

As Li Shoushi spoke, a chill crept into his voice. Haili Kingdom was a powerful nation not much weaker than Long Kingdom, boasting not only a Super S-rank commander but also several S-rank captains. Yet, overnight, it vanished into thin air, becoming a dead city.

"The Black Smiley Face has made its move; it might be something far beyond human comprehension..."

Bai Wan's expression turned solemn upon hearing this. Even the Vanishing Lord couldn't destroy a powerful nation in just one night...

What exactly has descended upon us?

"What exactly is it? Is it the true source of the strange system?" Su Yuening couldn't help but ask.

Li Shoushi shook his head and said, "We still don't know its identity, so..."

Li Shoushi's voice faltered as his phone rang. He quickly opened it, glanced down at the message, and his expression changed. He was momentarily lost in thought, and said to Bai Wan, "I just received intelligence from the neighboring country of Haili, the Kingdom of Gran, regarding the Black Smile."

"The Kingdom of Haili and the Kingdom of Gran are adjacent to each other, so when the Black Smile destroyed the Kingdom of Haili, the Kingdom of Gran was on high alert."

Bai Wan immediately stepped forward to observe with Captain Li Shoushi, and his expression changed after seeing it.

The text above states that since the incident in Haili Kingdom, the Ghost Hunters guarding the border of Gran Kingdom have been continuously sending out inspection reports, recording them every hour to ensure the safety of Gran Kingdom's border.

The above is a handwritten inspection record.

Starting at 2 a.m., the entire country of Grande had already begun issuing a city-wide alert.

That was the time when the Kingdom of Haili was swallowed up by the Black Smile.

It says on the label that there were no abnormalities at 3, 4, or 5 AM...

But suddenly, at 6 a.m., the intelligence from the inspection team became strange.

The handwriting on it also started to become crooked and distorted.

It reads... "The situation is dire. The world is fake, everything is fake. He has come, the Creator has come, and our human civilization is about to end."

Then, upon checking the records, they found nothing.

"Besides this inspection record, there is also a message from the Kingdom of Gran. According to intelligence, at 8 a.m. today, all the Ghost Hunters on the border of the Kingdom of Gran mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind last words such as 'The world is fake,' and 'It's all over.'"

Bai Wan, Li Shoushi, and the others fell silent after reading it.

"A creator god? That sounds rather sinister," Li Shoushi said, his brows furrowing slightly.

At this moment, Bai Wan couldn't help but think of the suicides of the Captain and other powerful demon hunters...

The truth of the world, and the creator god brought about by the fall of this black smiling face.

This made Bai Wan wonder if the world they lived in was really real.
Bai Wan shook his head. There were no clues at the moment, so there was no need to think about it so much.

Having lived in this world for so long, he is willing to believe that he lives in the real world.

After all, if the world is fake, then does that mean all the people he has met since childhood, including himself, are fake?
Bai Wan didn't quite believe it.

Besides the so-called creator god attracting Bai Wan's attention, the name of the Haili Kingdom also caught his eye.

The name of this country, swallowed by a black smiley face, seems somewhat familiar?

"Wait a minute." Bai Wan's expression changed, and her heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered Xue Rou's last words after she confessed her love to him.

"Captain, I'm going abroad for a while to Haili, a country I've always wanted to visit."

"Xue Rou went to Haili Kingdom?"

At this moment, Bai Wan's mind went blank, and he muttered to himself.

"What?" Su Yuening was somewhat surprised, and then became a little flustered. Xue Rou was a very good friend of hers.

"Why would Xue Rou happen to be heading to Hai Li Kingdom?" she quickly asked.

Bai Wan looked at Su Yuening in front of him and Captain Li Shoushi who was looking at him. The image of the cute girl who liked him floated into his mind, as did the image of the calm, undisturbed face behind the captain, wearing a white hood.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Wan finally made up her mind and told the truth.

"Actually, Xue Rou, she..."
