He logged into the game again.
Su Nan was prepared to be slain.
“You finally show up, tell me, how did you disappear last time?”
Before Su Nan could look for the mysterious girl from yesterday, her voice already echoed out.
Immediately, he turned his head towards the voice. In the center of the prison cell, the mysterious girl from yesterday was sitting cross-legged.
Her long hair spread out, her beauty could not be concealed by her oversized robe, her lovely face and elegant eyebrows, sitting there emitting a kind of sacred aura, like a blooming Snow Lotus.
Her eyes remained closed as if she was meditating, but Su Nan could feel, every action he took was under the surveillance of the mysterious girl.
She was a normal martial artist, she hadn’t lost control.
The worst situation hadn’t occurred yet. Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this was the best possible outcome.
“Miss…” Su Nan just started to speak when he realized his wording was improper and immediately changed it: “Senior…?”
Given that this could be a real world, his manner of speaking, his way of thinking couldn’t be so casual.
“Who are you, senior? Why are you imprisoned here?” He did not answer the mysterious woman’s question directly.
No way, he couldn’t just say that he had logged out of the game previously.
Su Nan intended to deflect the conversation, but the mysterious girl showed her displeasure. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze was like a sharp sword, directly stabbing into Su Nan’s heart.
Su Nan’s heart was pounding, promptly he says: “Senior, previously, that was a power of ours as Outsiders.”
The Outsiders were a reference to the players in the game. Normally, NPCs in the game would also call the players this.
As expected, upon hearing Su Nan’s words, the mysterious girl instantly stood up.
“Outsider? You’re really an Outsider?”
“Yes.”
Su Nan nodded with determined, under the gaze of the mysterious girl, he felt suffocated and his sixth sense kept alerting him of danger.
He knew that if he said the wrong thing now, he was likely to be killed.
“So you have the ability of immortality?”
“That should be the case.” He finished speaking, then hastily added: “But the ability of immortality is not without its limits. We can only resurrect the next day after we die.”
Su Nan quickly added on, informing the mysterious girl that his resurrection also had limitations. Otherwise, if the mysterious girl decided to verify it by killing him on the spot, it would be very wronged.
The mysterious woman seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes showed excitement: “My master told me that it was true, Outsiders really will descend!”
It was quite clear, she already knew that Outsiders would arrive.
“When did you descend?”
“Eight days ago.”
“How many of you descended?”
“I don’t know the exact number, probably more than a thousand.”
“Eight days and you’ve already perfected the Demon Sutra?”
The mysterious girl stared at Su Nan. Even if she knew Outsiders were extraordinary, she did not expect Su Nan’s strength to increase so rapidly.
This couldn’t be real.
“How did you increase your strength?”
“By completing Tasks.”
“What are these Tasks?”
“The Tasks are arranged for us by the game.”
“What is this game?”
…
The mysterious girl was evidently curious about the Outsiders and kept questioning.
Su Nan could only continue to answer.
There was nothing to hide about this. There are not only him among the players, he is now basically sure that this is a real world, this information will be known to the people of this world sooner or later.
Even if he doesn’t say it, others will.
However, as the mysterious woman’s questions got deeper, Su Nan gradually couldn’t keep up.
In the end, the mysterious girl even asked about the principle of logging into the game!
That’s outrageous!
After asking the last question, the mysterious woman fell silent, as if chewing on the information brought by Su Nan.
After a long while, she looked up at Su Nan again, a strange light flickering across her eyes:
“You Outsiders have the ability to immortality. This prison won’t confine you. You should be able to leave easily. I want you to go out there and do something for me!”
What does she mean by that? A Task?
Su Nan became alert, if this was happening in another game, a task mechanism would surely be activated by now. But there was none here.
“Senior, you are overestimating me. Although I have the ability of immortality, I can’t leave this place.”
He would like to leave, but unfortunately, his strength did not allow that.
“You won’t be mistreated for your efforts once the task is accomplished.”
“Please tell me what you need, senior. It would be my pleasure to serve you, senior.”
Whether there was a reward or not was not important, what mattered was that it was an opportunity to make a good relationship with the inhabitant of this world.”
The mysterious girl was powerful and she was clearly extraordinary. It was a golden opportunity, and if he seized it, he might be able to use the mysterious girl’s power to complete the task.
The mysterious woman took a long look at Su Nan, and said, “The Kun Tian Prison is a treasure of the Sky Wolf Clan, the entrance is set up in a gorge called the Sky Wolf Valley.”
“Above the gorge, there is a palace. I want you to sneak into that palace to steal a bronze bell the size of a fist.”
“The Sky Wolf Clan?”
“A Bronze Bell?”
Su Nan quickly processed the information of the mysterious girl, finally understanding why there were Wolf Demons guarding the place.
In the meantime, his mind was whirling, quickly calculating in his mind.
Although he didn’t know what that bronze bell was, he could affirm one thing, it was definitely significant to the mysterious girl.
The mysterious girl was powerful, but she had no way of getting it.
Otherwise, the item that our woman could easily obtain after she escaped from the prison would not have been asked for him to gather.
He did not know what the reason behind this was, nor did he need to know.
All he needed to know was that he could take the opportunity to get some benefits from the mysterious girl.
With that thought in mind, Su Nan immediately said, “It’s an honor to be able to serve you, but as you can see, I’m very weak. Any demon creature here can easily kill me.”
His straightforward logic was simple, that was to get the mysterious girl to help him complete the task.
Upon hearing his remark, the mysterious girl immediately said, “Can’t you get stronger quickly by completing tasks?”
“You don’t understand, senior. My task is to kill demons to complete it.”
Now, where couldn’t the mysterious woman see Su Nan’s intentions? She coldly said: “I cannot help you, figure something out.”
“…” Su Nan was stunned, he didn’t expect the mysterious woman to be so direct.
But he would not give up just like that.
“Senior, my Demon Sutra has been perfected. Now, if I want to continue improving my strength, I need the Sutra and the bloodline, couldn’t you…”
His intention was very clear, since he couldn’t get the mysterious woman to help him complete the task, he decided to change his strategy.
If he could obtain a Sutra and a bloodline from the mysterious woman, that would also be great.
