Chapter 96 Reducing Agent (Bonus Chapter 110 for Alliance Leader VTUC)

"Mr. Giba, may I gouge out your eyes?"

I think that's inappropriate.

Get up from the floor.

At this moment, Miss Cat had already locked the door.

How did you discover that she had a problem?

Ji Yi dusted herself off and asked the cat lady behind her.

"I felt something was wrong as soon as I came in, and I was completely certain when you knocked on the door."

As she spoke, she walked toward Miqin and tightened the ropes binding her.

"Speak, why did you betray us?"

ten minutes later.

Michon confessed everything.

It's simply because she misses her husband too much, so she'd rather help find other agents. If Miss Cat is even a little late in taking action, Mikin will notify the fake agent to come.

By then, the entire player base will likely be wiped out.

You can't afford to make a single wrong move.

At this moment, Miqin was in tears:

“I’m absolutely certain that he is my husband! He’s completely different from other fake men! He can cry and laugh, and he has the same emotions as me. How could he not be my husband? He clearly remembers every detail of our wedding, even the smallest gestures are the same as before. He is my husband!”

Seeing Miqin's tearful appearance, Ji Yi was slightly moved.

Miss Cat, however, bluntly shattered her illusions:
"No matter how much he resembles you, he is not your husband. Your husband would not easily break steel bars, much less eat iron blocks raw and act as if nothing happened. He is just a monster with your husband's memories."

"I do not care!"

Michon cried out.

"I just need to know that he remembers all the little things we did together, and that he still loves me!"

Miss Cat shook her head:
"The so-called illusion of loving you is only because you have value to him; he is not on the same side as humanity."

"Then let me stand on the opposite side of humanity! He promised me that my life would be elevated, that I would remain forever young, never grow old, and that I could retain my current consciousness and memories, and be with him forever. What's wrong with that?"

"Ugh"

Miss Cat sighed; the reasoning was unclear.

"Your persuasion won't work, let me do it."

Ji Yi suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What advice does Mr. Little Giba, the voyeuristic pervert, have? Excuse me, when you're not talking, I think there's something dirty around me."

The attack power has increased again.

But what just happened wasn't his fault. Who told you to trick me?
Don't you know that people's hearts cannot withstand the test?

Ji Yi didn't respond.

He simply said to Miqin:

"Mrs. Michon, you don't want to be separated from your husband in the future, do you?"

Miss Cat: "?"

Miqin nodded frantically: "I'm willing to do anything to be with my husband!"

Ji Yi grinned.

Miss Cat took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from Ji Yi.

Ji Yi ignored Miss Cat and continued:
"To be honest, I don't care about who lives or dies in this world, whether they are fake or real people."

These words made Xie Jiayi frown slightly, but she did not speak up to stop them.

"You can choose to become a fake and rekindle your relationship with your husband, which doesn't conflict with our goal of escaping from here. After all, if you try to report us now, you'll only lose your life for nothing, won't you? We can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

“Yes,” Miqin nodded slowly.

Ji Yi smiled, a smile like that of an innocent young boy.

"very good."

He found a chair and sat down opposite Miqin.

"First, tell me, besides the three of us and Detective Chang, do you know who the fifth detective is?"

Michon was very willing to cooperate at this moment:
"Yes, I know. He contacted me last night, and I was planning to report him first thing this morning."

"Say something useful."

"His name is Will Tek, a foreigner. He is said to be a scientist. He came in to find his daughter. He said he invented a restoration agent that can restore people or objects to a certain form in the past. He also said that advanced fake people are actually living people who have been transformed. As long as they use his restoration agent, they can be resurrected as real people."

[These are all true words, but unfortunately, they are not the truth. The truth is, a fake person is just a fake person; the most sophisticated fake person can only devour living people and simulate the memories and emotions of a real person.]

Ji Yi knew this.

The information Miss Cat checked yesterday confirmed this issue.

“I’m very interested in the reducing agent. Could you please give me Will’s contact information? Oh, and by the way, could you also do some special effects makeup for Miss Cat? It has to be completely different from the one on the arrest warrant.”

Miqin nodded in agreement.

If possible, Ji Yi would also like to have special effects makeup done, but unfortunately, special effects makeup takes too much time.

Half an hour later.

Miss Cat has completely changed.

Using some unknown type of clay, the droopy nose was sculpted into a prominent hump, and the slightly harsh single eyelids were made twice as big.

With all the modifications, it's almost impossible to tell that it's Miss Cat anymore.

Moreover, Miqin's technique is excellent; she can create beautiful makeup while simultaneously mimicking the inhuman feel unique to pseudo-humans.

Not bad, it looks so much better now.

Asian sorcery lives up to its reputation.

"Miss Cat, I'm leaving this place to you. Is that alright?"

The two couldn't just leave Miqin here unattended, so Miss Cat needed to stay and guard her.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on her."

Ji Yi also instructed Mi Qin:

"Remember, for the sake of your and your husband's future happiness, when someone comes to investigate later, remember to cooperate fully. Otherwise, she could take your life at any time, and you won't be able to live happily ever after with your husband, understand?"

Michon nodded frantically.

well.

Ji Yi walked out of room 504.

He walked out of the building with a natural expression.

At this moment, there were more and more fake people participating in outdoor activities. They were all strangely shaped and had different expressions, making Ji Yi look so out of place among them.

But no one discovered his identity.

In fact, in most cases, daytime is safer than nighttime.

These fake humans have limited knowledge of real humans. Even if Ji Yi behaves exactly like a normal person, there is nothing noteworthy in the eyes of these low-level fake humans.

Look at this! It's a complete chaos! These bizarre creatures can replace humans—isn't that incredible?

I'm looking at the words in front of me.

brush--

A little girl dummy darted in front of Ji Yi.

A horrifying smile hung on her lips, her mouth was full of blood, and her pupils were as small as pinpoints.

"!"

Ji Yi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

[Watch your emotions. If they sense your fear, your undercover career will be over.]

"."

Take a deep breath and force yourself to get into a good state of mind.

"Uncle, why does this pineapple feel prickly in my mouth?"

The little girl speaks very fluently.

She held up the half-eaten wooden stick in her hand.

The wooden stick was covered with nails.

Ji Yi's face immediately lit up with a warm smile.

He crouched down and patted the little girl's head:

"Little kid, this isn't a pineapple, it's a spiked club."

The girl frowned: "A spiked club? It looks like a pineapple, I can't tell the difference."

Ji Yi patted the girl's back reassuringly:

"It's okay, there's no need to distinguish them. Even humans might not be able to tell them apart. Look, a mace has thorns, and a pineapple has thorns. A mace pricks your mouth when you eat it, and a pineapple pricks your mouth when you eat it. The relationship between a pineapple and a mace is just like the relationship between a mace and a pineapple."

The girl nodded in realization, then smiled, revealing a mouthful of bloodied teeth, and replied:

"Uncle, you know so much. When I grow up, I want to be as knowledgeable as you."

"Okay, Uncle will wait for you. Go play, sweetie."

The girl walked away, gnawing on a spiked club.

Once she had run far away, Ji Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

'Each one is more outrageous than the last. What exactly is this "fake human apartment"? Why can't outsiders just force their way in?'

Let's adjust our emotions again.

As long as emotional fluctuations are kept within a certain range, no imposter will detect the real person's identity.

However, this does not mean that one can easily leave alive.

According to Miss Cat's investigation, among the agents dispatched by the human authorities are abnormal individuals who are born without emotions or feelings.

Even such agents perished here; the survival rate of humans in the fake apartment building remains at 0%.

"To learn more about the inside story, I'd probably have to try to contact some top-notch pseudo-talents."

Ji Yi pondered.

We walked towards a landscaped garden.

This place is very close to Zone 7. It's a secluded spot, like a backyard garden, where you can see middle-aged women mechanically dancing what they believe to be square dancing.

Having seen so many bizarre and fake people along the way, Ji Yi has become almost immune to them.

Unless their identity is exposed like Miss Cat.

Otherwise, daytime is relatively safe for people, and there is no need to be nervous.

I feel a little relaxed.

Ji Yi walked into the pavilion in the garden.

A middle-aged man who looked like a foreigner was sitting in the pavilion, lost in thought, holding a Chinese-style retro wooden box in his hands.

Will Turk, a widowed man who lost his daughter, chose to become an agent out of despair. Incidentally, as a scientist, his inventions are all top-notch.

“Miqin sent me.”

Ji Yi got straight to the point.

"The reducing agent, may I take a look?"

As she spoke, Ji Yi calmly sat down in front of Will.

Will seemed somewhat cautious, turning his head awkwardly and asking in broken Chinese:
"What are you saying? I... I don't understand."

They even packed it up.

Are they afraid of sophisticated imposters?

Ji Yi had only seen Feng Yu once from afar.

I really didn't know that top-tier advanced imposters could be so similar to humans.

“That girl Miqin met her fake husband, so she plans to betray us and join the fake faction. If it weren’t for me, you would be reported today. Relax, if I were a high-level fake, why would I need to test you?”

Ji Yi spoke fluently and in a relaxed tone.

"There were only five agents in total. One was replaced by a fake, one's identity was exposed and he is wanted everywhere, and one has turned against us. The heroes of the world are you and me."

boom.

Will was startled and dropped the wooden box he was holding.

Just then, the wooden box was smashed open, and three vials of medicine rolled out.

【Name: Reducing Agent】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: perfect]

[Effect: Can reliably restore items to a certain degree of their "initial" state. Theoretically, it may also be effective on humans, but relevant clinical data is lacking. Please use with caution.]

Can it be taken out of the instance: No

[Note: This powerful item invented by Will Turk to heal his daughter is only usable in this instance.]

Ji Yi raised an eyebrow:
"Hey, Old Deng's used a gadget."

　Even short ones are cute.

　　I'm so obsessed with writing that I'm going to enter a hyperdimensional game tonight, so please don't stop me!
