Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Rather than what Sima Xi remembered.

"Oh, I see. Well, I definitely didn't notice. But it's alright. It seems like the game has a big bug; I can't even log in. That's a serious problem, isn't it? Are you okay on your end?"

Poseidon responded almost reflexively:

"Oh, no need to worry about that. If you want to play, I'll send someone over right away..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, her face turning deathly pale.

"...Wait, how did you know?"

She hasn't been here long and isn't very thoughtful yet.

As if he had been tricked into revealing everything, he realized that Lu Ma shouldn't have known about this at all. He shouldn't have known about Sima Xi's company, nor should he have known that Sima Xi had moved the Black Douluo project back to the company.

Poseidon felt a chill in his heart.

Lu Ma's eyes turned cold at that moment.

The other party's reaction confirmed his suspicions.

The person in front of me is Poseidon, who has taken over Sima Xi's body.

He took a deep breath and pushed the water glass to the person opposite him.

"You told me that yourself."

Chapter 234 revised.

"Is...is that so?"

Poseidon felt another chill run down his spine.

Her memory did not tell her this.

But the other party's behavior seemed to confirm that it was indeed the case.

For a moment, her mind was in turmoil.

Therefore, they decided to move the plan forward.

She intends to imprison Lu Ma right here, right now.

Thinking it over, she was about to make her move and take Lu Ma down.

but--

She was a step behind Lu Ma.

The moment she raised her hand, Lu Ma took advantage of her distracted state and struck her hard, knocking her unconscious.

"Uh!"

Poseidon only managed to let out a short, muffled groan before a dizzying sensation overwhelmed her, making her vision go black.

She instinctively tried to draw upon Poseidon's power, but was horrified to realize that things like soul power and divine power couldn't be used in this world.

boom!

A muffled thud. Poseidon collapsed onto the carpet, unconscious.

Seeing Poseidon lying on the ground, Lu Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He also needs to know information about how to get the two people switched back, which is a very serious issue.

His intuition told him that this was related to the game, and to a game bug.

And all of this...

It's better not to pin your hopes on getting it out of Poseidon.

The same trick only needs to be used once, especially since Poseidon has already become aware of it, so it should not be used again.

So he took down Poseidon.

-

On the ruins of the Spirit Hall, the last few corpses were cleared away, and the titled Douluo were placed under surveillance by Ning Fengzhi's organization.

Sima Xi leaned against a half-collapsed stone pillar, his face still somewhat pale, but he had recovered considerably compared to his swaying appearance when he forcibly called out his real name earlier.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and her gaze became firm again.

That's about enough, time for the second time.

That's what she was thinking.

If once doesn't work, then twice, three times... As long as he might still be watching, she must try to convey the message.

"land……"

Sima Xi's lips moved slightly; she was prepared to endure an even more severe backlash. However, just as the first syllable was about to escape her lips—

A cool hand suddenly covered her mouth.

"Well?"

Sima Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and the power that had just subsided within him surged up instantly. He turned his head in confusion to look at Ning Rongrong, who had suddenly appeared beside him.

But she noticed that Ning Rongrong was looking at her strangely.

Something's off; she doesn't seem like the Ning Rongrong she knows.

Then she heard—

"Stop talking. It must be hard for you to say that. There's no need for that, I'm here."

Sima Xi's body stiffened.

The voice is indeed Ning Rongrong's, which is quite nice. However…

It wasn't Ning Rongrong's usual tone of respect and dependence.

This feeling...this feeling is like...

It's like Lu Ma has arrived.

The confusion in her eyes quickly faded, and her tense body instantly relaxed.

"Phew...you came pretty fast."

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to be tortured to death."

"Ning Rongrong"—or rather, Lu Ma, who was controlling this body at this moment—slowly released her grip and gave Sima Xi a reassuring and apologetic smile.

"But I feel like I'm already very late."

"Yes, indeed. You heard it back then?"

Lu Ma nodded:

"Yes, I was already there then. However, some problems arose, and I couldn't control the character. I only recently regained control of it."

"Hmm...you know how to do these?"

"Yes. I just don't usually do it, but that doesn't mean I can't."

As Lu Ma spoke, he abruptly changed the subject.

"I understand the situation roughly. So, tell me, how can I get you out? How can I get you back into your body?"

"I don't know the exact method. But since you were able to come here and communicate with me, theoretically, I should be able to go back too. Perhaps the passage has been opened as well. But I can't say for sure."

Sima Xi shook his head and continued,

"After thinking about it, the passage being blocked can only be Poseidon's doing. You need to be careful of Poseidon..."

"I've already taken care of her."

Seeing that Sima Xi was about to offer some unnecessary countermeasures, Lu Ma quickly interrupted him.

"Resolved?"

Sima Xi looked at Lu Ma suspiciously and sighed softly.

"It's solved, so you'll have to come to my company, to the Black Douluo project team, and modify the source code on the console I transferred from the company that made the Black Douluo game. Okay, next, I'll tell you how to access that place."

"You know, you need an identity, an identity that allows you to work for the company."

……

Sima Xi and Lu Ma finished speaking.

"understood."

Lu Ma nodded and said,

"Wait for my news."

As soon as she finished speaking, the light in Ning Rongrong's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by her original blankness, and her body swayed slightly.

Sima Xi quickly caught her, looked into her refocused eyes, and whispered, "He went back."

In the real world, in front of a computer screen.

Lu Ma leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

The prolonged period of intense concentration left him feeling exhausted.

He glanced at Poseidon, who was still unconscious on the carpet behind him, and after confirming that she would not wake up anytime soon, he immediately got up.

Time was of the essence. He grabbed his keys and phone, rushed out of the apartment without hesitation, and hailed a taxi.

Afterwards, with Sima Xi's detailed instructions and the password that Sima Xi had prepared for him to "verbally verify his identity," Lu Ma arrived at the core area of ​​the company and the Black Douluo project team almost without any obstacles.

Then he started making the changes.

Unfortunately, he soon discovered a problem—

Just as he couldn't understand the code on his own computer, he also couldn't quite understand the code here.

However, this time the situation is somewhat different.

This time, Lu Ma has plenty of time.

Next, Lu Ma devoted all his energy to research.
