Meanwhile, she silently memorized the bank card number, preparing to start her search from that number if all else failed, since it was at least a clue.

Ruri Kazama: The deposit has been transferred. Please check your account.

Kazama Ruri: That sword is really important to me. Could you try to help me? I'm willing to pay extra.

Kazama Ruri: No matter what the final result is, as long as you help me try, it's okay if you really can't get it. As long as you've done your best, I'm willing to pay.

Yuan Zhinü tried her best to speak sincerely, like a pitiful person who had lost her beloved sword and was helpless, with only a last bit of hope left, which she placed all her hopes on the other person.

That feeling of powerlessness, you could almost imagine her helplessness even through the screen.

Old Tang seemed to be thinking and didn't reply for a long time. Just when Yuan Zhinv was about to lose her temper and rush out to find someone, he hesitantly sent a message.

Old Tang: I'll give it a try. I can only say I'll do my best. If I feel there's no chance or it's too dangerous, I'll give up directly.

Upon seeing this news, Yuan Zhinv's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and even her typing became a little lighter.

Kazama Ruri: No problem, just do your best, I believe in you!

Kazama Ruri: Judging from the photos, the woman is the weakest among these people. You can take advantage of her when she is alone. She was sneaky when she stole the knife, so she shouldn't have much strength. If all else fails, use force. You should be able to suppress her.

Old Tang: Okay, I understand.

Perhaps wanting to comfort her, Lao Tang even sent a cat paw-holding emoji. Looking at the cat's determined expression, Yuan Zhinv smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Chu Zihang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile. He hadn't dared to breathe loudly before because Yuan Zhinu's serious expression while holding her phone made it seem like she had encountered something very important, and he was afraid of disturbing her.

"Is the matter resolved?" Chu Zihang asked her.

Yuan Zhinu nodded without explaining, but looked at the two people controlled by Chu Zihang. They were tightly bound with the ropes she had brought, and their mouths were gagged. They looked pitiful, weak, and helpless.

She kicked away the head she was stepping on, then bent down, resting her chin on her hands, and blinked at the two of them: "Can you behave yourselves?"

"Logically speaking, the smell of blood here should be enough to attract monsters. If you still do something irrational, I'll have to prepare more bait."

Her voice was flat, and her expression was even somewhat kind, but her words sent chills down one's spine, making one wonder how she could utter such a blatant threat in such a nonchalant tone.

Seeing that the two seemed frightened, Yuan Zhinu raised her chin, and Chu Zihang directly pulled the cloth stuffed into their mouths.

"I'll ask you questions, so be good, or I'll kill you." Yuan Zhinv said with a smile, but at this moment, her pretty and innocent face looked like a demon crawling out of hell in the eyes of the two men.

The two men didn't even dare to look her in the eye, as if those weren't the eyes of a beautiful young girl, but the eyes of some hideous monster. Hidden within this girl's pretty and innocent appearance was something more terrifying than a devil.

Who is the administrator of Hunter.net? What do you know about this website?

The two exchanged a glance, seemingly hesitating whether to speak. Yuan Zhinv sighed, and Chu Zihang immediately understood. He drew Murasame and was about to randomly cut down one of them when the short man whose Word of Power was a snake was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"No, don't kill me." His voice was trembling with sobs, and he looked pitiful. But before he could finish speaking, the other cold-looking man coughed heavily, and he immediately shut up.

Yuan Zhinu gave Chu Zihang a wink, and Chu Zihang didn't hesitate. He grabbed the cold-looking man with one hand and dragged him out of the tomb.

Genjiro smiled and looked at the remaining guys: "Now you can speak."

The man swallowed hard, seemingly terrified, his voice trembling as he said, "I... I've never seen the administrator either. The administrators only communicate with the boss directly."

As he spoke, he glanced at the head rolling on the ground, his fear deepening: "But the boss mentioned that there is more than one administrator."

"What do you mean?"

"That website has many powerful forces, and the representatives of these forces are all administrators. Nobody knows how many hybrids are on Hunter Network. This website has a long history, so long that it can be traced back to when the Internet was first invented."

"The boss said that the administrators didn't know who created the website either, and the relationship between these administrators was not harmonious. They seemed to be checking and balancing each other, and their relationship was very delicate."

The man stammered as he spoke of his limited information. He seemed to be just a handyman, and in his account, only the boss knew all the important things.

But his boss is now dead.

Yuan Zhinü, however, was not disappointed. In her perception, the one with the strongest bloodline among the three was the eldest. She didn't know what his Word of Power was, but it was better to nip the danger in the bud than to take risks.

As for the information this boss knew...

Yuan Zhinv walked to the headless corpse, disdainfully rummaged in her pocket, and finally pulled out a cell phone.

Using the corpse's fingerprints to unlock the device, Genjiro skillfully opened the Hunter Network. As soon as she logged in, she saw messages flashing in the private chat window.

A guy with no ID, only an administrator badge, sent him a new message. The message was very short, just two words: Bye bye.

No other messages are visible. It's unclear whether there was no contact at all or if the content has been deleted. The latter seems more likely, and this specially sent message feels more like a permanent farewell.

Yuan Zhinv frowned and carefully examined the phone, but found no useful clues.

The only few records that seemed to have been left unattended belonged to a guy that this boss had been monitoring on the Hunter Network.

He seemed to have been observing that person for a long time; his browsing history showed that he had been observing this person for a long time, as if it were some kind of daily task that had to be completed.

Yuan Zhinv curiously clicked into that person's profile. The name was anonymous and invisible, and all other information was hidden, with only some posts visible.

But these comments are strange; almost every one is related to games, and many of them are complaints, making him seem like a irritable gamer.

His posts reveal that he once sold a large amount of Square Enix stock because he was dissatisfied with the upgrade system in Final Fantasy XIV.

For some reason, when Yuan Zhinv looked at this cursing and swearing speech, she inexplicably felt a kind of... childishness.

Upon careful reflection of the original work, it seems that there is one person who fits this neurotic personality perfectly.

Her fingers tightened slightly around the phone, and Yuan Zhinv let out a soft sigh, whispering the name of that devil:

"Lu Mingze..."

Chapter 78 A Great Gift

Yuan Zhi carefully read through the words of this seemingly little devil and then came to a conclusion.

There's probably no one else but him who's such a neurotic gamer.

After so many years in this world, Genji has finally met this key figure.

Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei are twin brothers. One has power but is flawed, while the other has no power but is complete in a certain sense. They can be considered the protagonists of this world.

Their identities remain a mystery to this day, but only three people throughout history have been able to change their bloodline, and this little devil is one of them.

When Genjiro first came into this world, she also thought of using the power of this little devil to rebel, but she was controlled too tightly by the king and even Uesugi Koshi could not find her.

After resolving those troubles, Genji no longer needed help and even became quite wary of him.

After all, this little devil has never been a philanthropist, and she wants to avoid contact, at least until she has absolute power.

Therefore, the two have not had any interaction so far. Now that she has suddenly seen the little devil's information, Yuan Zhinv still felt a bit wary.

The fact that the administrator had someone monitor the little devil was already suspicious, and the administrator's identity became increasingly mysterious.

This hunter website is too murky; it's full of all sorts of monsters and demons. If it weren't for finding Norton, she wouldn't even want to get involved so early.

They are still too weak and don't even have the qualifications to enter the game.

She casually stuffed her phone into her pocket, took a deep breath, and became even more determined to become stronger.

We need to resolve this matter quickly, and then go kill Norton to increase our strength; otherwise, things might change.

Of the dragons known so far, Norton, who hasn't awakened anything yet, is the weakest, and she's the one she's most confident in. Genji plans to deal with Norton and see how much her strength has improved before going to Jormungandr.

After we've dealt with these two pushovers, we should go find their older and younger brothers. Ideally, we should resolve all these issues before that loser enrolls in school.

Only in this way will she have some confidence when facing the little devil behind the bad boy.

Having made up her mind, Yuan Zhinv looked at the short, thin man trembling on the ground.

The man felt as if he had been pricked by a needle when he met her gaze, and he instinctively opened his mouth to scream, but before he could speak, a bright red long knife sliced ​​open his heart.

The man's eyes widened in anger, his expression finally settling on terror. He slowly collapsed, blood gushing from his wounds, his face drained of all life.

"We promised not to behead you, and here we are, keeping our word."

A strong smell of blood hit her, but Genji simply drew her sword and turned to walk away.

But what she never expected happened: in the narrow passage, Chu Zihang was sitting weakly against the wall, his eyes closed as if he were injured, while the cold-blooded man was nowhere to be found.

Yuan Zhinu was quite surprised. She greatly acknowledged the attack power of this murderous bastard, and he also possessed the Word Spirit Lord's Flame and Bloodlust skills. She thought that dealing with that man would be no problem at all, so she felt at ease letting him leave with his men.

But now it seems she put her mind at ease too soon.

Walking quickly to the boy's side, Yuan Zhinv bent down and used her hand to check his pulse on the side of his neck. The pulse was weak, but still present.

His lips were purple, he was covered in cold sweat, and his skin was frighteningly pale, looking as if... he had been poisoned?

Yuan Zhinv frowned deeply and called out softly, "Chu Zihang?"

Seemingly sensing the movement, Chu Zihang's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"What happened?" Yuan Zhinv asked him. "Are you alright?"

Chu Zihang shook his head with difficulty, his voice weak: "His Word of Power is Deep Blood... I encountered him."

Yuan Zhinü instantly understood. The Word Spirit Deep Blood could make one's body full of poison, which was why the man's hands had turned black when he attacked her earlier—that was a sign of poison.

Chu Zihang had obviously fallen into a trap by accident. After all, he was only a freshman who had been enrolled for a month. There was still a lot of essential knowledge about killing embryos that he hadn't started learning. At this moment, his experience was a bit shallow and his methods were somewhat immature.

However, that person's bloodline was not as high as Chu Zihang's after the blood surge. The toxins brought by this dragon blood obviously could not cause too much damage to Chu Zihang. It would only temporarily make him lose his fighting ability, and it would be decomposed and metabolized after a period of time.

It's not a big problem.

Yuan Zhinv quickly made a judgment in her mind: "Then you rest here for a while, I'll go after him, which direction did he go?"

Chu Zihang pointed in a direction with difficulty, and Yuan Zhinv immediately followed, while leaving a snake around Chu Zihang as a vigilant presence.

Yuan Zhinü acted quickly because she was eager to finish the battle quickly. She knew she couldn't let this guy escape; she understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.

But as she quickly passed through the passage and kicked open the stone door of a tomb chamber, she was immediately overwhelmed by the strong smell of blood.

In the pitch-black tomb, a ferocious monster with horns and a menacing appearance was frantically tearing at the corpse of the cold, sinister man. Chunks of flesh and blood were scattered everywhere, and the sound of teeth tearing flesh was incessant.

Hearing the commotion behind it, the horned monster slowly turned its head, revealing a pair of bright golden vertical pupils.

Yuan Zhinv exclaimed in surprise, "Sorry, I disturbed your meal." She said without much apology, "I'm sorry."

The monster had clearly lost all reason. Its vertical pupils, more like those of a reptile, were fixed on Genji, as if it had locked onto its prey. It let out a hoarse roar, and bits of flesh could be vaguely seen in its wide-open mouth.

It's really disgusting stuff.

Yuan Zhinü drew her sword. She knew from the simulator that this must be the employer who issued the mission. He kept luring hybrids here, just to fight and devour them, hoping to evolve.

Of course, he couldn't evolve, and even degenerated into Deadpool.

For some reason, he didn't turn into Deadpool so quickly in the simulator; it seems like something quietly changed.

Before Yuan Zhinü could figure it out, countless golden eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, like countless will-o'-the-wisps lighting up at the same time, and pairs of wild beast eyes stared at Yuan Zhinü.
