Chapter 183 Time is running out

Given Ant's temper, he would have already lost his temper if he had heard someone mocking him like that before.

But this time, upon hearing Jiang Ran's words, it didn't say anything, only listlessly saying, "That's enough... I know you're dissatisfied, but at least our goals are the same."

Jiang Ran suddenly changed the subject: "So, this game was created by Big Eyeball and the Will of Paro Island from the very beginning?"

Since things have come to this point, there's no point in hiding anything anymore.

Ant nodded hesitantly: "Perhaps. Actually, I don't know exactly what happened. But I can vaguely sense that the will to devour a planet is not so simple."

"The purpose of the game is probably to first break down the defenses of the planet's inhabitants, and then use the power collected from them to deal with the planet itself."

Muya spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "If devouring the will of a planet came without a price, or if it were that simple, we wouldn't be standing here."

Whether for self-preservation or to protect its people, the planet's will will not sit idly by.

A head-on confrontation would do no good for Paro Island, which is why they came up with this method to weaken their opponent from within.

However, the purpose that should have been buried deep was unexpectedly unearthed.

In countless previous cycles, Big Eyeball always launched a mental pollution attack that covered the entire planet Blue Star when it was just one step away from success.

Perhaps this is also a necessary condition for the loop to be triggered.

But this time, everything changed because of Jiang Ran's inexplicable "rebirth".

Before the big-eyed monster was fully prepared and before the players were completely tamed, it began its final harvest.

If it weren't for Jiang Ran, he might have actually succeeded.

But his madness also gave the Blue Star Will an opportunity, finding a flaw in the spacetime rift and sending the information to Jiang Ran.

Perhaps the turning point for everything began when Zhe Zhou killed Jiang Ran in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran suddenly looked at Mu Ya: "Do you know someone named Zhe Zhou?"

Muya was taken aback, then shook her head: "Never heard of him. Is there anything special about him?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "That's probably just people using your name to cheat and swindle. It doesn't matter. I think after this setback, it shouldn't give in like that again for a while, right? We should have a short period of peace."

Seeing this, Muya didn't dwell on the broken boat incident. She stood up and said, "I'll contact you if anything comes up. But I can sense that our time is running out. About last time, you..."

She looked at Jiang Ran, seemingly wanting to say something, but after a moment of silence, she changed the subject: "I will keep an eye on the next part of the True Words Handbook for you, but you also need to be careful, it... is very angry."

"But he probably won't have time to come looking for you now, because the losses are too great. Perhaps he's planning to get the replacements from other sources."

When the topic turned to other channels, Ant suddenly spoke up: "Don't worry about me, I know what it wants to do."

Muya did not comment on this, as it was not something she could interfere with.

Before leaving, she handed Jiang Ran a small box: "This is for you. You... are luckier than me. I hope this luck can continue."

Jiang Ran took the box and said softly, "Yes."

Over an endless period of time, they found the only possibility, and she would not let this opportunity go to waste.

Seeing that Muya was about to leave, Jiang Ran called out to her, "The map fragments I have... do they have anything to do with you?"

Muya didn't turn around: "Why don't you open that box?"

Jiang Ran instantly guessed what was in the box.

She couldn't help but say, "Did you already know about me back then? Then why did you contact me in such a hostile way on the world channel? Weren't you afraid..." Jiang Ran was always ruthless towards her enemies.

Before realizing that something was wrong with Muya, her biggest thought was how to kill Muya and take her place so that she could get closer to the big eyeball.

Muya chuckled softly: "I don't know who it will be. I only know from the prophecy left by our ancestors that there will be such a person in the future."

"Everything I've done is to wait for this person to appear. Whether it's you or someone else doesn't matter. What matters is that we share the same goal."

She paused, then continued, "Do you know that the residents of Eternal Night City also derive their power from the soil? Therefore, when that land was submerged by the Sea of ​​Death, many people couldn't find their way home."

"But some people are unwilling to leave the land that nurtured them, so they choose to become one with the land."

After saying that, he disappeared without waiting for Jiang Ran's reaction.

Ante, who had been silent all along, had already left without anyone noticing.

Jiang Ran looked in the direction Mu Ya had left, lost in thought.

She wouldn't say these things for no reason, unless...

Jiang Ran instantly thought of the teleportation portal that led directly to the "warehouse" of the giant eyeball, and the islanders whose bodies had become one with the soil of the island.

So, are the people on those islands actually Muya's ancestors?

Even such a dormant being is awakened and utilized by the big eyeball.

However, this did make things convenient for Jiang Ran.

She couldn't help but think that Muya's eagerness to cooperate with her might also stem from the fact that these ancestors had chosen to submit to her.

In any case, this meeting with Muya made Jiang Ran even more excited.

It is definitely possible.

There was no one behind her.

With Muya's departure, the barrier she had erected also disappeared.

Xiao Bai, who had been anxiously waiting, hurried over. Seeing that Jiang Ran was the only one left in the deep alley, she looked around and asked, "Master, are you alright?"

Jiang Ran smiled and shook her head, simply saying, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The two returned to the villa together.

In the living room of the villa, Majik was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Jiang Ran and Xiao Bai return safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys... why don't you take me with you next time? I also have teleportation items."

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow in surprise: "What, have you become a stray dog ​​that can't find its owner? I never noticed you were so clingy before?"

Majik was speechless.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

But when he thought of Jiang Ran bathed in light, and when he thought that her destination might be a trap, he became so anxious that he couldn't calm down at all.

Jiang Ran made a couple of casual jokes to ease her previous mood.

She searched through the space and actually found the barrier item she had previously looted. After clicking to use it, she gathered the three of them and the villa inside, and then began to talk about her previous conversation with Muya.
