The next second, with a thought, Zhao Xun successfully brought Zhaozhao back to the Real World, standing beside Death God and Ice.
Zhaozhao looked blankly at Zhao Xun, then at Death God and Ice. She stammered, "You... you all seem pretty powerful."
That, too, was one of her intuitions.
None of the three players before her seemed ordinary.
A little slow to catch on, she asked Zhao Xun, "Was that doll a special item? Where am I now? What exactly did you need me for?"
Zhao Xun gave her a concise explanation of the situation.
The more Zhaozhao heard, the wider her eyes grew, her face full of disbelief.
She asked in a tiny voice, "Are you... staging a rebellion?"
"Hardly a rebellion," Zhao Xun corrected her. "The mastermind isn't our leader, much less our king."
"That's true." Zhaozhao rubbed her fingers nervously. "But... how can I help?"
"Your special ability should come in handy," Zhao Xun said with certainty.
When he learned that Ice's special item could only summon one player, Zhao Xun's first thought had been to summon Zhaozhao, not Su Tiantian.
The reason was simple.
He had already used [Devour] on Su Tiantian's special ability. Although he could only use it five times in total, as long as he could still use it, there was no absolute need for Su Tiantian herself to appear.
But he had none of Zhaozhao's good-luck boost, and he couldn't use [Devour] on it.
For an assassination like this, especially when the target might be stronger than him, a good-luck boost was exactly what he needed most.
Something so mysterious might seem virtually useless for attack or defense, but it could prove crucial at a critical moment.
Zhaozhao blinked, finally catching on. "You... you know about my special ability?"
"Mm." Zhao Xun
