Information Explosion

Qin Rang turned his head and looked around; his drowsiness vanished.

"Captain Qin, may I come in?" Bai Yang peeked out from Little Rabbit, blinking his big eyes, with a bunch of Puppet hanging from his body.

Qin Rang saw that his mind wasn't so rigid anymore. "Are you planning to talk to me like this from outside the door if you don't come in?"

"That means you're welcome." Bai Yang walked over happily and closed the door behind him.

So what if they don't welcome him? Is Bai Yang now allowed to come to the Authorities sanatorium so openly and brazenly?

Looking at the dozen or so Puppet at his feet, Qin Rang in confusion, "I wanted to ask you last time, have you been sewing Dolls in the organization all these days?"

They hadn't seen each other for a long time since their last parting in the organization. Later, the transactions between the organization and the Authorities Qin Rang's business, as they were still in the Instance at that time.

The time spent in the Instance felt like an eternity, so when he saw Bai Yang again, he felt like a stranger.

"Just accept that as true."

The Little Rabbit and the Little Bear pulled up a chair for Bai Yang to sit down. He casually picked up a piece of fruit from the table, took a bite, and mumbled, "You guys were trapped in this Weird Instance for so many days, I almost thought you wouldn't come back."

Qin Rang shuddered at the thought of that Instance: "It's a double-edged sword. This Battle Royale Instance isn't open-ended; if we don't resolve the strange occurrences, getting out will be too difficult."

"I watched your livestream. This Battle Royale Instance is about surviving in an icy wasteland, fighting to survive while also trying to Battle Royale. Thankfully, the Master didn't give us any missions to go in; that would have been too much of a torture."

"... I will not forgive any cold Instance for a long time." Qin Rang sighed, rubbing his forehead in anguish, but they had also received considerable assistance.

Bai Yang laughed and said, "In the past two months, there have been two fewer Residential Zone, and one more Weird Zone and Danger Zone. The number of people the Authorities have sent to the Lily Weird Zone has also decreased by one. I don't know if you've heard about it."

"Is this the main reason you came to see me?" Qin Rang saw through his intentions at a glance. He knew why Bai Yang would come to see him for no reason, and it seemed like he came secretly.

"Yes." Bai Yang nodded. "I believe you've seen some of the members of the organization, and you should also know that those Extremist Faction guys always use some underhanded methods to steal the attention of their Masters."

Qin Rang: He doesn't know that, don't talk nonsense... those Extremist Faction seem to hold grudges.

"Some extremist members are now in the Lily Weird Zone," Bai Yang said, catching the Little Rabbit that jumped into his arms. "And some Wen Keke."

The smile on Qin Rang's lips vanished.

"No wonder I smelled the astringent scent of Poppy Flower on you." Qin Rang looked directly into Bai Yang's eyes. "You went too?"

He had originally intended to pretend he hadn't noticed, but Bai Yang's words lessened his suspicions.

Bai Yang wasn't surprised by his words and nodded in agreement. "We went and found some things. But now is not the time to talk about them."

"If you're interested, go check out the Lily Weird Zone yourself. You should be able to see Wen Keke's influence, her Authorities connections, and her organization's members there."

Qin Rang looked at Bai Yang; Bai Yang seemed different now. Was it because his abilities had increased, or because he Wen Keke? What exactly did they talk about?

"I advise you not to delve too deeply, it might..." Bai Yang's gaze shifted to his teammates beside him, "... cause you great pain."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, just a piece of advice." Bai Yang stood up. "Do you want to know the truth behind the strange occurrences? I mean, the truth behind how they came to be."

Bai Yang left, taking a bunch of fluffy things with him.

Qin Rang didn't pay attention to Bai Yang leaving; his mind was disturbed by Bai Yang's last words.

The truth? Is what he says necessarily the truth?

Even if the truth is as he says, so what?

Qin Rang himself wasn't actually obsessed with solving the mystery, but anyone who received such news would be moved.

As he pondered this, he stared at his sleeping teammates beside him with suspicion in his eyes.

What did Bai Yang mean by that? Was he telling him that there was something wrong with his teammates?

Or does it refer to Sheng Qingqiao? Or his special identity? After all, the organization had previously expressed interest in him.

If it's him, then he has nothing to worry about. If it's not him... then who could it be?

Even though Qin Rang didn't want to doubt or overthink things, he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

After a while, he frowned, which was unusual for him, and turned off the video. He then tapped the call bell next to the bed several times.

Besides his teammates and the unspeakable "truth," Bai Yang's words also included information about the Lily Weird Zone.

What's going on in the Lily Weird Zone again? Is this related to their team?

He'll investigate that "truth" himself. If it's true... does the Authorities know? If even his teammates have problems, who can he truly trust?

Lan Xixin, the Purger in charge of their health treatment, hurriedly pushed open the door when she heard the bell and immediately saw Qin Rang sitting on the bed with a frown.

"You're a patient, so it's best for you to stay in a good mood," Lan Xixin said, glancing at the testing equipment.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but you've been using the Evil Ghost Mask for so long in the Instance, your soul is still nearing its limit. Control your temper and don't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Rang closed his eyes and forced his mind to clear for a moment, gradually becoming more awake.

"Has anyone been here just now?" he asked.

Lan Xixin: "No, there are people guarding outside your door. I didn't see anyone come in."

Qin Rang wasn't surprised; this was probably Bai Yang's new ability, though he didn't know which animal it came from.

How has our communication with the organization been these days?

"We've maintained a cooperative relationship. The Weird Object provided by the organization are very useful, significantly reducing our casualties. The Dessert Chef's desserts have the ability to Death Rewind, so everyone is more willing to fight the monsters, greatly reducing the mortality rate."

"They used this ability to probe out many strange Rules. Currently, both the Family Clan's and the Authorities's Purgers are entering the Danger Zone one after another, trying to suppress the strange Danger Zone within."

"Some people who were initially against the organization have now softened their stance, and everyone's attitude towards the organization has improved a lot."

Qin Rang rubbed his temples, his tense heart relaxing slightly. "It sounds like everything is getting better."

Lan Xixin to herself, "That's right, but you look so serious... What's wrong? Did you find something in the Instance?"

"No... no, maybe I'm overthinking it." Qin Rang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to begin. He hadn't even figured out what Bai Yang meant, and saying it rashly wouldn't do his team any good.
