Demon Worshipper

"She actually knew to buy it?"

Xiao Xiao was shocked to hear what the pink BOSS said, and his eyes showed disbelief.

It seems that the boss who handed out the money not only knew about the existence of the strangers, but also knew some of the higher secrets.

However, what Xiao Xiao found even more unbelievable was that since she knew the concept of "buying it," why didn't she have the panicked look on her face like the senior investigator in the Black Forest? Instead, she even seemed to have a hint of... anticipation?

"Or you could say it's pollution."

Seeing Xiao Xiao's slightly surprised face, the pink BOSS's expression became even more excited, with a hint of anticipation:

"No matter what, as long as I can get into the mother system, that's fine..."

"Oh dear, I've always hoped that I could be chosen by the Mother, but unfortunately I've tried many times and failed."

"In that case, it's fine if you buy it and it enters as a subordinate..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao was momentarily speechless with the intense shock he felt.

As an indigenous person, she knew of the existence of outsiders, and even wanted to enter the mother body.

As an enhanced user of the Insight route, Xiao Xiao can observe the micro-expressions on anyone's face if he so desires.

At that moment, he realized that this pink-haired boss wasn't joking when he said those words.

She was actually filled with anticipation, and... excitement.

The shock in his heart was no less than when he first saw this woman on the verge of mutation, but Xiao Xiao only appeared calmer on the surface.

With just a hint of curiosity, he asked, "You know us?"

The Rabbit Ears stood up excitedly, even the two ears on the hood of its head, and it nodded vigorously.

Xiao Xiao's strange feeling intensified, and he suddenly asked, "Then what do you think of us?"

The Rabbit Ears looked a little surprised and tilted its head. "Hmm?"

"I mean..."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Some people see us as madmen, monsters, but you..."

"... He seems different from the others."

"..."

"I know how they see you..."

When the Rabbit Ears were brought up this topic, their expression became even more excited, with a touch of mystery. "But I'm different..."

"All I know is that you are a special group of people who control some kind of power that cannot be explained by the logic of reality."

"Some say you have entered a higher dimension, while others say you originally came from another unknown world."

"But I don't care about those things..."

"All I know is that you possess all sorts of amazing abilities, and you exist outside of this world, truly..."

"... Wow, that's so cool!"

"..."

"You see this insane panic and eeriness as cool?"

Xiao Xiao was genuinely surprised by the boss's reaction, but at the same time, his Mind Burst ability allowed him to capture any detail. He keenly realized that this Rabbit Boss not only understood some aspects of the world of strangers, but even understood them far beyond his imagination. He curiously turned his head to look at her and whispered, "How do you know these things?"

"This..."

The Rabbit Boss seemed hesitant, saying, "I can't say, the consequences would be severe, but..."

She paused slightly, then her expression became even more excited. "Why don't you just buy me?"

"Once I buy you, I am yours entirely, and I can tell you all the secrets I know."

"?"

Xiao Xiao's expression turned very strange. There was actually something to talk about here?

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was genuinely quite surprised.

However, as his thoughts raced, his face remained calm, while he developed a strong sense of unease towards the Rabbit Boss.

If she hadn't brought this up, I might have actually considered buying her.

Living in a world far from home, strangers inevitably encounter problems or perplexing situations that are difficult to resolve. They often think of the simplest solution, such as taking control of the key figures in the problem.

But when the other party is too proactive, a feeling of resistance suddenly arises in one's heart.

He remained nonchalant, merely glancing at the Rabbit Boss indifferently, and said, "You trust me that much?"

"Don't you know?"

She lightly flicked her nail and said slowly, "Many people were bought, but treated as slaves..."

She didn't know how much this Rabbit Boss actually knew, but judging from what she was saying now...

It seems she doesn't have a proper understanding of being bought.

"..."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, the Rabbit Boss's breathing quickened and his face flushed slightly. "Oh dear, that's terrifying?"

"... So it's settled then?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao was momentarily startled by her performance and took a step back without making a sound.

This boss seems a bit off; she looks like...

... Even more excited?

This caught Xiao Xiao off guard. Suddenly encountering someone who knew of the stranger's existence and was determined to buy her, he felt a strange unease. His wariness remained, but he also quickly considered the consequences of buying her...

First of all, as the boss of the Pink Maiden Gang, buying her is equivalent to buying the entire Pink Maiden Gang.

With so much business and such a large dock, it all practically belongs to him.

For a stranger in a foreign land, wouldn't this be like leaping straight to the pinnacle of life through unconventional means?

He remained outwardly calm, but quickly pulled out his phone and glanced at it.

[Item Name: Fate Controller - Pink Maiden Gang BOSS]

Status: Tradeable

Transaction amount: 10,000 points

[Note: Although much of her business was illegal, she undeniably held the fate of many people in her hands.]

[Note 2: Should you buy the "simp" item? Compared to points, it's recommended to sacrifice a little bit of looks.]

[...]

Xiao Xiao quickly calmed down.

You're overthinking it.

Speaking of which, this City Will seems to be getting more and more frivolous...

Is she serious?

The senior investigator in the Black Forest only has 3,000 points, so how come this wild rogue has 10,000?

It's quite adept at using its looks!

But he remained outwardly calm, only glancing calmly at the pink-faced BOSS whose face was full of anticipation and whose drool was almost dripping.

He shook his head and said calmly, "It's not the right time yet."

"Ah?"

The pink boss looked visibly deflated and said aggrievedly, "Was my performance not good enough?"

You're too expensive...

Xiao Xiao thought to himself, but simply nodded slightly and said, "Mm."

Pink Boss's enthusiasm was immediately dampened, and its two erect ears drooped down.

Ding ding ding ding...

The phone with the Pink Rabbit phone case in my pocket rang again.

She glanced at it, but didn't dare hang up; she just muted the phone.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao sat back on the sofa, his expression calm, but inwardly he was also quite surprised.

I'm quite impressed with their understanding of indigenous people.

They believe that strangers are chosen by the mother, and that those bought by strangers belong to a secondary status within this group. This view, in a way, aligns with the strangers' own perceptions and forms another explanation.

A massive, even intricate, interpretation of the concept of a matrix system.

A slight thought crossed his mind. He slowly looked up at the boss and asked, "Who is this 'Jin Biao' you just mentioned?"

"..."

Besides the fact that the Rabbit Boss knew about the strangers, Xiao Xiao also realized that the two sides had a disagreement on a certain issue. For example, when he looked at the woman on the verge of mutation, she was clearly corrupted by the Rotten Kingdom and her body had developed severe deformities. However, in the Rabbit Boss's description, he only thought that she was being tortured and had fallen into a desperate madness.

What is this?

Different perspectives on the same thing between two groups of people?

"Jin Biao?"

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao mention this person, Rabbit Ears' expression immediately turned cold, and he whispered:

"A bastard who deals in girls and other contraband, running a huge underground kingdom in the Downtown District."

"He was originally a hoodlum, but he was ruthless. He gathered a group of men in the Downtown District and bribed some politicians and the Guard Hall to turn the entire Abandoned Factory Street in the Downtown District into his territory. He controlled all the red-light districts and gambling dens there, creating an impenetrable barrier that no one's influence could penetrate. He himself hid there and acted like a local tyrant."

"Our sisters, some ordinary people who were deceived, and even some students, were all lured away by his people."

"They are controlled by violence and drugs, forced to fall into depravity and ruin day and night..."

"..."

"The Abandoned Factory Street in the Downtown District..."

Xiao Xiao listened, a slight thought stirring in his heart, "That's it, that's the location of the Rotten Kingdom that Yang Jia mentioned..."

"So, the indigenous people's perspective on that place is indeed different from ours?"

"..."

More and more ideas gradually surfaced in Xiao Xiao's mind.

The emergence of the Rotten Kingdom has become a major threat to the strangers, one that cannot be delayed any longer.

Such a terrifying place is hard for the indigenous people to ignore, but in their eyes, it is an underground kingdom.

He slowly savored the difference between the two perspectives, his gaze settling on the Rabbit Ears face:

"You said he's involved in prostitution with girls, so what about you?"

"..."

Perhaps it was a side effect of being an observer, but Xiao Xiao also felt a bit curious about them.

According to the taxi driver, who is also the head of Black Gate City's largest intelligence agency, the Pink Maiden Gang isn't much better.

It's all business, so why does she hate that person so much?

Was it because the city's will, in order to advance logic, deliberately gave her this way of thinking?

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Rabbit Ears seemed to fall silent for a moment, giving Xiao Xiao a deep look.

Probably no one would dare to ask her such a question under normal circumstances.

Then the expression on her face slowly disappeared, and she slowly said, "I don't do prostitution..."

"... But I was raised by people who did this kind of business."
