Chapter 218 The Traitor Within the Boundary-Breaking Stone (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"The item has arrived; I need to take a look."

Without further explanation, Ji Yi calmed herself down and immediately brought up the item trading panel.

Seeing this, Hao Youqian dared not disobey. Ji Yi had saved him and was also considered a semi-official, so he couldn't wait to get rid of something that had almost brought him disaster.

Soon, information about an item appeared in front of Ji Yi.

【Name: Blackstone】

Type: Unknown

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: Unknown]

[Note: A dark, spherical stone may contain some kind of mysterious power.]

Because he was in the real world, the Eye of Data was unusable, and the information Ji Yi could access was extremely limited.

After all, in reality, there are only a handful of game features available.

As for the so-called game becoming a reality, it seems that the process is still a long way off.

'But as the "descendancy" increases, even the Eye of Data will gradually become usable in reality.'

Ji Yi didn't know how long this process would take—three years? Five years?
Ji Yi didn't know what impact these changes would have on the current reality. All she knew was that many innocent ordinary people would be drawn into the conflict, just like they were today.

To prevent such incidents from happening again, it would be best to completely eliminate the Headhunter Alliance before the "Descent Rate" reaches a certain level.

Lost in thought, Hao Youqian suddenly interrupted Ji Yi:

"So? Did you figure anything out?"

Ji Yi snapped out of her reverie and looked at everyone: "Well, I need to go into the game space to take a look. Wait for me a moment."

With that, he disappeared from the conference room.

As the space before her transformed into a familiar, narrow space, Ji Yi summoned her item panel and began examining the [Black Stone].

The information above is exactly the same as what I just viewed.

However, Data Eye did not disappoint him.

【Name: Boundary-Breaking Stone】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Legend]

[Effect: After use, it can destroy, to a certain extent, things related to the concepts of "barriers" such as barriers, seals, and planes.]

[Note: You need to possess the skill "Advanced Appraisal Eye" and an appraisal skill of the same level to view this item's information.]

Clearly, my eye-type skill, as powerful as it is, is the greatest in the world, bar none, far superior to "Advanced Appraisal Eye."

The data eye modified the text information of the item in front of it, while also taking the time to promote itself.

[Incidentally, this thing can cause considerable damage to the seal of the ancient gods. If someone with ulterior motives were to obtain it, it might actually allow the ancient gods to see the light of day again.]

"Break the seal?"

Upon seeing this, Ji Yi suddenly seemed to realize something, and some clues quickly connected in his mind. He finally understood the truth of the matter.

"I see, so this thing is used to break the seal."

Therefore, Mad Celestial Venerable could not possibly be a member of the Headhunter Alliance.

After all, the Boundary-Breaking Stone is extremely important to the Headhunter Alliance. With it, they can break the ancient god's seal and have a greater impact on the Forbidden Zone of Strange Tales.

From the perspective of the Headhunter Alliance, there's no reason to kill Hao Youqian; they only need to steal the Boundary-Breaking Stone, which is of utmost importance to them.

As for Hao Youqian, he's been in business for half his life, can he afford a legendary item?
In short, with Hao Youqian dead and player data wiped, the Boundary Breaking Stone could never be found again, so the Hunter Alliance shouldn't do that.

“Then things become very clear when analyzed according to this line of thought.”

Thinking of this, Ji Yi smiled and clicked to return to reality.

When Ji Yi reappeared in the conference room, only three minutes had passed on the clock. "So, any leads?"

The driver asked impatiently.

Ji Yi chuckled, waved her hand dismissively, and instead looked at a bald man seated at the table:
"I remember your name is A-Kun, right? You and Hao Youqian ran the [Ghost Immortal] dungeon together."

Ah Kun was taken aback when he heard this. Hao Youqian called him Ah Kun because they were about the same age, had a close relationship, and were both considered big businessmen.

A young upstart like you should be calling him Brother Kun!

However, Ah Kun didn't dare to argue, after all, this kid seemed to have quite the airs of an official. He could only reply:

"Yes, Mr. Ji, what can I do for you?"

Ji Yi's lips were still curled into a smile, but the smile gradually turned cold:

"Given the current situation, you probably don't have much of a future in the Headhunter Alliance, so why don't you just confess and get the better of them?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Kun's expression changed, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"I can not understand what you say."

"Don't understand? No problem." Ji Yi gave the driver a look. "Let's search this Brother Kun first."

The driver immediately stood up, ready to take action.

Hao Youqian was stunned when he saw this: "Ji Yi, don't make false accusations. If Akun were really a member of the Headhunter Alliance, he would have just shot me in the back. Why would he have almost died with me?"

"I was thinking about this question at first too."

Ji Yi stood up and slowly walked forward, sitting side by side with the driver, sandwiching Ah Kun in the middle of the seat.

He placed his hand on Ah Kun's forehead and rubbed the other's smooth scalp:
"But if there were no spies, how did the Headhunter Alliance find us? Don't you think so, Ah Kun?"

This is a very simple truth.

From a technical standpoint, it is indeed feasible to achieve precise location tracking via mobile phone, but there are many limitations.

Considering all factors, the success of today's ambush must be due to an inside man!

Ji Yi didn't mention this matter from beginning to end because she didn't know who the other party was.

But when Hao Youqian mentioned going to a dungeon with Akun, Ji Yi already had a suspect.

After seeing the information about the Boundary-Breaking Stone, he became completely certain.

As the driver searched around, he quickly found two cell phones on Ah Kun's body.

Ah Kun was visibly panicked.

“I know that none of the people who came today are your contacts, so their phones can’t find any information about you. That’s why you’ve remained so calm so far.”

Ji Yi took the two phones from the driver, then pulled Ah Kun's arm and unlocked them one by one with her fingerprint.

The other party was drenched in sweat and showed no intention of resisting.

"But surely there should be some here? You should trust the official capabilities. Even if local records are deleted, we still have ways to find the messages stored in the cloud."

As she spoke, Ji Yi leisurely swiped her phone screen:

"So, have you decided what you're going to say next?"

Ah Kun's mental defenses completely collapsed, and he suddenly burst into tears:

"That's right! It's me! I'm the mole who betrayed Hao Youqian's whereabouts! I was greedy for profit, so I cooperated with that person! I never thought I would be caught in the trap too!"

"He clearly said he'd give me something in return if I got the [Sealing Stone]! Waaaaaah!"

A middle-aged bald man started wailing in public.

"Sealing stone?"

Ji Yi was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and then laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, Mad Celestial Venerable, Mad Celestial Venerable, what an interesting fellow."
