"Use the Nutrient Solution to temporarily replace Sister Huo's blood, placing her in the cryogenic chamber to freeze her bodily functions. Once the blood samples regenerate, we can replace all the Nutrient Solution in her body. This way, we can obtain enough of the Huo Family's female lineage to open another channel and also save her life," the girl said, clasping her hands over her chest, her trust in the plan unwavering. "I believe Professor Ji's integration of the cryogenic chamber with the Game Pod will definitely succeed."
"You are..." Ji Bai furrowed his brow. This was currently the best scenario, but there had been no progress on the key core of the cryogenic technology.
"My father's company researched cryogenic technology for a while," she said, placing a metal chip on the table, biting her lip. "It contains what you need."
This was the chip she had obtained from Uncle Li in the E Zone. Besides revealing evidence against Ji Yang, it held one crucial piece of information: the core of cryogenic technology.
...
At ten o'clock that night.
Ji Bai, who had not closed his eyes for over forty hours, retracted the Light Screen. His dry lips moved slightly as he cast a rare soft gaze toward Strict Language, who lay in the Healing Chamber. His long fingers unconsciously brushed against the cold glass cover.
The woman inside breathed shallowly, her features exquisite. He smiled self-deprecatingly; whether he could escape or not was irrelevant. In his life, Ji Bai had never acted on impulse; the only time he had ever indulged was when he fell for this elegant woman.
Bitterness and regret intertwined in his clear Black Eyes, and his throat felt parched and silent, unable to utter a word.
Now, I am racing against death to keep you here; you must give me a chance too, right?
Transferring the person from the Healing Chamber to the Game Pod filled with Nutrient Solution, he pressed the button, and at that moment, his heartbeat had never felt so heavy.
Just online, Yan Yan adapted to the discomfort of crossing through the portal and quickly pulled up the communication interface. "Ji Bai, how is Ayu?"
"Currently stable. I will use external intervention to directly transport her to Wangyue Town. Pan Wuxin from Limitless Alliance will receive her, and I will log on immediately to find her."
His cold yet calm voice carried a virtual electronic tone into Yan Yan's ears. At that moment she heard this news, she felt a warmth rising from her chest; that long-dead heart finally began to beat with life again. "I'm currently in a special map and can't get out. I'll find you as soon as I can!"
Her voice was filled with evident joy and relief.
Her features, once shrouded in darkness, seemed to be reborn, instantly brightening up. Her curved Black Eyes sparkled with vitality, and every strand of her dark brows was tinged with light-hearted joy.
The most beautiful sight is your smile.
Qin Huai unconsciously curved his lips into a smile, the warmth in his eyes surprising even himself.
“Rascal, Ayu is probably safe now!”
She tried hard to suppress the joy in her tone, but the corners of her lips that couldn't help but rise betrayed her good mood at that moment.
“Yeah, I know.”
“Rascal, won't Ayu have difficulties adapting to this other world without going through the trials of the novice village? And what about Pan Wuxin? Will he be able to take care of her while handling the affairs of the Limitless Alliance...?”
“Tsk... why worry so much? Ji Bai isn't just sitting around,” Qin Huai patted her smooth forehead. Lost in her joy, Yan Yan completely overlooked his earlier action that resembled patting a dog.
Thinking of Ji Bai, her furrowed brows relaxed slightly as she murmured, “I hope he can take good care of Ayu.”
It was rare to see her so lively, and Qin Huai watched her with a smile.
The sharp blade that had long been hanging over her head seemed to have suddenly moved several meters away, and the heavy stone pressing on her heart felt much lighter. Even the desolate yellow sand before her eyes appeared somewhat more pleasant.
Ten minutes later.
The two entered the depths of Ghost City, reaching the Demon King's Hall.
The pale-faced Assassin, slouched in the center, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them. “I thought you guys had died at the hands of the Demon King. Cough cough... you—”
“Senior, please don’t speak yet,” Yan Yan supported the Red-Clad Woman who was trying to get up. Her gaze swept over the Beauty before her, and thinking of that carefree woman made her tone soften a bit. “The Demon King didn’t catch up with us... What can we do to help with your injuries?”
“According to our previous agreement, if you help me obtain the Forbidden Spell Codex, I will lift the curse on you... Huh—” The Assassin's gaze froze when it landed on the extreme flame Fire Phoenix rune between her brows. He exclaimed in shock, “You are the Son of the God from the Light Faction?”
Facing the question from the Assassin, Yan Yan felt a sense of confusion. In her past life, she had never heard of any Light Faction Son of the God. Could it be that her premature reincarnation had introduced some uncontrollable variables?
Suppressing her suspicions, she replied vaguely, "Senior, you don't need to help me break the curse." After all, the curse had already merged with her Radiant Flame Mark, transforming into a more powerful Divine Punishment. She quickly changed the subject, "I wonder where the Forbidden Spell Codex is hidden. I'll go fetch it for you."
"Since you are the Son of the God, we can skip the tedious steps. Just go and open that box; it's inside."
Following the direction pointed out by the Assassin, she saw a Black Iron Box floating at the top, bound with a glimmering Black Iron Lock and adorned with several runes.
Yan Yan exchanged glances with Qin Huai. With a leap, she used the pillar in the center of the hall for support and steadied herself to grab the floating box. With a firm grip, she pulled it down.
Qin Huai's figure flashed as he quickly caught the falling box. "Hiss—" A pained sound escaped him as he frowned but did not release his burning hand.
"Zzz—"
The moment he let go, a black flame flower devoured the outermost rune on the box.
His palm was charred black, and even his Health Bar dropped significantly.
Yan Yan leaned closer, surprised as she glanced at him and teased, "What's wrong? Feeling weak? Just catching a box and you're hissing in pain?"
"Tsk... Wife, are you worried about your husband's frailty?"
The Black-Clad Thief approached with a meaningful look.
"Heh heh..."
Ignoring the antics of someone who was just being playful again, she crouched down. As her hands brushed against the runes on the box's exterior, they suddenly flashed with white light... and then began to fall off one by one.
Furrowing her brow at this strange sensation, she heard a click as the box opened to reveal a thick black magic book embossed with gold lettering that read "Forbidden Spell Codex."
Text?!
The hand that reached out paused. Why could she understand the words in this book?
"What’s wrong?"
Qin Huai asked curiously as he noticed the girl standing still.
"Nothing, I’m just taking this to Assassin. There’s also a token inside; please take a look."
With that, she picked up the Forbidden Spell Codex and walked towards Assassin.
The moment Assassin received the spellbook, a notification from the System sounded.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent for completing the Hidden Mission "Assassin's Request."
Qin Huai discreetly glanced at another item inside the box.
It was a Dark Iron token, with a large character for "Ghost" on its front.
...It was the token that commanded a hundred thousand Ghost Soldiers.
