This bug is amazing!

Chapter 217 Review of the Ghost Immortal
This highway shootout was resolved satisfactorily with the final shot fired by Coconut Jelly.

All members of the Headhunter Alliance involved in the incident were killed on the spot, with no survivors.

Their real-world identities and social relationships are now under investigation.

The blocked highway was quickly cleared with the intervention of relevant departments, and the work of compensating the innocent dead and injured was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

evening.

After several hours of delay, Ji Yi finally brought the chicken leg back to the villa.

At the same time, Hao Youqian and his companions were also brought along, as they needed to cooperate with the authorities.

As a man "kept" by Gu Hong, Ji Yi considered himself a semi-official, roughly equivalent to an unemployed outsourced worker.

"Nothing is more important than eating. It's almost ten o'clock. Let's talk about everything after we eat. Everyone, stay here for the night and don't leave."

At the round table, Ji Yi raised the orange juice in her hand and greeted everyone.

Hao Youqian glanced at the strong liquor in front of him, then at the orange juice in Ji Yi's glass, and was quite speechless.

The atmosphere at the banquet was not particularly lively.

With so many people around Hao Youqian dying, it's clear he's not in a good mood. Of course, this also applies to those who came with him; not one of them is smiling.

They ate and drank as usual, including chicken legs and coconut jelly, but seemed out of place at the banquet.

More than half an hour later, the exchange and questioning began in the villa's conference room.

The driver picked up a notebook next to Ji Yi, adopting the demeanor of a secretary.

Ji Yi deserves the most credit for resolving this matter today. The entire process was flawless. Rather than a textbook example of action, it was more like a high-difficulty, dazzling acrobatic performance.

Therefore, more or less, those who experienced this event firsthand would feel both fear and admiration for Ji Yi.

Hao Youqian wasted no time and began to recount what had happened:

"You know, I make a little money by trading items in the game, but who doesn't want to expand their business? So even if I know the other party might have problems, I still want to take the risk and see."

His expression was somewhat grave.
“You’ve obtained the information about the details of the discussion with Hagigan, so you should know it too. It was nothing more than his promise to do a big deal with me with huge profits. I admit that I was greedy this time.”

"Faced with huge profits, I called on familiar friends, hired bodyguards, and prepared weapons to prevent this from happening."

"I never expected to be outmaneuvered. They actually ambushed me on my way to Ning'an City, threatening to kill me rather than pay me, leaving no room for negotiation!"

On the way back, Ji Yi had already read the records sent by the cyber police and knew the general content.

To be honest, judging from the details of the transaction, Hao Youqian's desire to take a risk is understandable.

They just didn't expect that the other party was there to kill them, and was better prepared, launching an unexpected surprise attack on the highway.

But there are too many suspicious points surrounding this attack.

Firstly, is it reasonable that Hagigen went to such great lengths not for Hao Youqian's game resources, but simply to kill someone?

Secondly, if there is a compelling reason to kill Hao Youqian, what could it be that is more important than game resources?
Thirdly, how did the other party manage to intercept Hao Youqian's convoy so precisely? Was there a mole among Hao Youqian's associates? Or...?
The key to the problem may not lie in the WeChat chat history, but in places that are not visible.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, Ji Yi pondered for a moment before looking at Hao Youqian:

"Let's get down to business. Tell me how you met Hagigen, and what do you think their reasons were for killing you? That might be where the problem lies."

Hao Youqian was taken aback when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he realized that it made sense.

The other party isn't crazy; with such a meticulous plan and elaborate scheme, they clearly have a valid reason to kill me.

However, he had never teamed up with Hagigen in a dungeon, nor did they have any conflicts.

If Hagigan was also acting under someone's orders and had offended someone, then looking back at the previous instances, it seems there wasn't.
No! It seems so.

Hao Youqian suddenly realized, "If we're talking about a motive for murder, it might be related to that [Ghost Immortal] instance." "Ghost Immortal?"

Ji Yi was startled; the name sounded familiar.

After a moment's thought, I remembered that I had seen this thing before.

In the [Midnight Convenience Store] instance, the Ghost Immortal is a boss that always appears on the fourth night. You need to collect six items to fight against him, otherwise you will die.

What we now know is that the convenience store is located on the intersecting road between the two worlds, and the customers that Ji Yi encounters are all characters from other worlds, including the Ghost Immortal.

"What, you've run this dungeon too? Let me tell you, this dungeon is incredibly difficult. If it weren't for my unparalleled wisdom and courage, this nightmare-level dungeon would have wiped out the entire player group."

Hao Youqian sounded somewhat smug.

Ji Yi was too lazy to listen to his boasting: "Get to the point, stop talking nonsense."

Hao Youqian had no temper and began to explain in detail:
"The dungeon is set in Country Z, which is equivalent to modern times in our country. There were four players in total, and the mission objective was to [summon a ghost immortal].

Hearing this, Ji Yi's curiosity about the instance intensified: "Go on."

"At that time, I was with Ah Kun. Oh right, that's him."

Hao Youqian pointed to the bald man next to him.

"We teamed up and were matched with players [Crazy Celestial] and [Today's Not Going]."

What kind of weird name is this second person?

Suppressing her urge to complain, Ji Yi continued listening.

"I now suspect that the Mad Celestial Lord wants to kill me."

"reason?"

"He looks mentally unstable and his methods are very strange; he's obviously a bad guy."

"."

Ji Yi shook her head: "Can you give me some reliable information?"

Hao Youqian continued:

“When we were doing the mission, his behavior already made the three of us feel strange. After I got an item, he became even more crazy, claiming that the item was dangerous and that I had to have it, or he would kill me.”

Ji Yi raised an eyebrow: "How did you handle it?"

"Heh, do you think I, Hao Jian, am easily scared? I've seen it all. Anyway, I didn't give him a second glance and left immediately after finishing the dungeon. I reckon this madman was furious, so he hired someone to kill me. He must be from the Headhunter Alliance."

Ji Yi shook his head: "Judging from your description, that thing is obviously very important. He won't benefit from killing you."

"Didn't you hear me? He threatened to kill me if I didn't give it to him, and that's clearly what he did!" Hao Youqian said confidently.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. Tell me about that item and what it does."

Upon hearing this, Hao Youqian scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "Actually..."

"It's just a broken, black, spherical stone. It doesn't show any item information and looks worthless."

Ji Yi: "."

"But!" Hao Youqian changed the subject, "that Mad Celestial Venerable said it seems to be related to some kind of ancient god seal!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi's heart skipped a beat.
