Crazy Nezha

Chapter 112 Using Others as a Mirror

"Wrongfully accused?"

Li Tianbao looked into his eyes and hesitated.

"What's your name?"

"I—my name is Li Zhichun! Just call me Ah Chun."

"You also have the surname Li, so it seems we were family five hundred years ago."

Ah Chun looked bewildered. Because of the close proximity, he noticed that the NPC's wig, which was only pixelated on the face, was loose. The other person's long, snow-white hair was actually a wig?!

Jiang Baiyue coughed and said, "Junior Brother!"

She wanted to remind Li Tianbao to maintain his proper airs.

Li Tianbao stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "What grievance do you have? I will settle it for you."

Ah Chun mustered her courage and asked, "No, may I ask, are you using AI or are you being controlled by real players?"

"Just tell me the truth."

Ah Chun hesitated for a moment, somewhat bewildered. Regardless of whether the other party was a player or an NPC, there must be someone monitoring the game from behind the scenes. In any case, this might be an opportunity for him.

At this moment, the tiger slowly walked over, its face almost touching his, opened its blood-red mouth, and yawned.

Ah Chun looked closely at the tiger and smelled the hot breath emanating from the king of beasts' mouth. She kept telling herself that this was fake, a game, high technology! But a sense of fear still arose spontaneously.

The tiger smacked its lips.

Li Tianbao kicked the tiger in the buttocks. The tiger rolled over a few times, like a kitten whining, wanting to play with its owner.

"Step back."

The tiger got up and its massive body swiftly climbed up a large tree next to it, where it lay down to enjoy the shade on the thick branches.

Ah Chun was shocked. Aren't tigers supposed to be unable to climb trees? It really is just a game.

What is little known is that tigers can not only climb trees, but are also good at swimming and diving, making them a true all-rounder in the animal kingdom!

The aloof female swordswoman spoke up: "Tell me the truth about your grievances. My junior brother possesses the Great Soul Searching Technique. If you utter even half a lie, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Li Tianbao said calmly, "Junior sister, please don't be rude. Don't frighten this mortal."

Jiang Baiyue turned her back, glared at him, and mouthed: I am your senior sister.

Ah Chun looked around, then slapped himself, realizing it wasn't a dream. Desperate, he said in a low voice, "My lord, I'm from the housekeeping department of the Jiangcheng Platinum Bay Hotel. A foreigner injured a couple, and our chairman personally came to me, along with several other strangers I didn't recognize. They want me to take the blame for that foreigner, go to jail for a while, and then they'll get me out and give me 50 yuan!!"

"I admit I embezzled, and with the chairman personally vouching for me, I did it. Who knew the court would sentence me to death? Only then did I find out that the injured couple had died mysteriously! They said I had beaten them to death!"

Li Tianbao asked, "Foreigner? What country?"

Ah Chun cried and said, "I don't know, I really don't know!! Europeans and Americans! They should have been shot a few days ago, but they were temporarily dragged to this island to participate in this test."

"Let me ask Zhang Ke!"

"Um."

Listening to their discussion, Ah Chun seemed to realize that there might be a real chance for his situation, and immediately said gratefully, "Did you mean to take me to find the leader? How do I exit the game? Let's go now."

Li Tianbao said calmly, "The world is a game, there's no quit button. Life has no save files, and you can't start over."

Ah Chun saw that the white-clad female swordswoman had actually walked to the side and was making a phone call, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

Jiang Baiyue hung up the phone and said, "Junior brother, Zhang Ke will send a car to pick you up in a bit. I'll take him to the back base. Call me if you need anything."

Li Tianbao nodded. "Shall I go and play with the bandits?"

Jiang Baiyue said, "Remember the purpose of our trip: to destroy the enemy's will and cultivate your own. Use them as a mirror; it will greatly benefit your cultivation of character."

Li Tianbao smiled dismissively and said, "I understand the concept of using others as a mirror."

About two hundred meters outside the woods, next to the small wooden house.

The remaining seven prisoners were observing. They found weapons and equipment nearby, and now each of them had a machete, as well as supplies such as food and medicine, all of which were military-grade.

The lead squid said, "Ah Chun has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Could they have already been eliminated?"

"Brother Yu, let's go take a look."

"That girl was gorgeous! Do you think she's an NPC, or a player like us?"

"It's definitely an NPC! There's no woman this beautiful in real life! And that guy is an NPC too; the pixelated face is proof enough that this game has a bug!"

Squid said, "Since we're here to test the game, we have to follow the rules. The mission says we have to kill the target by any means necessary, so we definitely can't just fight head-on!"

At that moment, an SUV stopped at the entrance to the woods not far away. Two special agents dressed in black got out of the vehicle, carrying guns, looking just like special forces soldiers in a movie.

Squid and the others squinted and saw that the woman in ancient costume had come out, but they didn't see the man riding the tiger. Ah Chun also came out, and they all got into the car together.

Then the car started, kicked up a cloud of dust, and drove away.

Someone asked, "What's going on? They weren't the target, so why did they get in the car together?"

Squid slapped his thigh, looking regretful: "Damn it! That bastard Chun must have gotten a hidden quest!!"

"What do you mean?"

"This game is far more complex than we imagined!" the squid exclaimed.

"Brother Fish, I need to use the restroom, I have a bit of an upset stomach! This game is so realistic!"

"Go now!"

"Did the instructor tell me where the exit button was when I came in? If I poop in the game, will I poop in my pants in real life?"

The squid muttered to itself, "Could it be that this isn't a game at all, and we've been tricked?"

Someone said, "Then what's the point of playing tricks on us? And have you ever seen anyone ride a tiger?"

Squid said confidently, "Haven't you ever seen a circus with a tiger on horseback? Damn it, could it be some rich kid trying to play a death game and is just messing with us?!"

The bald man said, "I was just thinking about that too, Brother Fish. No matter how realistic a game is, it can't possibly be this lifelike! My hemorrhoids are acting up, they're burning hot, how could the system know that?"

Squid stuck the knife into the ground, his face showing anger at being mocked, and said, "I'm going to die either way. If that guy riding the tiger really is a rich second-generation, I'd really like to stab him to death!"

"It might be true. I've seen it online; many super-rich people keep tigers as pets!"

"That matches up! He must be a second-generation superhero. That pixelated face must be a high-tech mask! He doesn't show his true face!"

"Damn it, that's too much!"

The others nodded in agreement. As insignificant ants, they were being toyed with before they even died! They were all desperate criminals with no hope for the future, and resentment spread among them!

"He's here."

Li Tianbao emerged from the forest entrance, followed by a tiger.
