The news truly shook Qin Manjiang.
Zuo Xian seemed to have figured it out too. Jiang Du and Qin Manjiang were the same person to begin with. Telling Qin Manjiang things Jiang Du already knew would cost her nothing, and could even earn her the trust of this "incomplete version" of Jiang Du.
With that thought, Zuo Xian started walking deeper into the cave as she spoke. "Actually, the master behind the [Eye Realm] hasn't made a move in a very long time. I'm not the only one who suspects It is dead. Everyone in Moon City shares that view."
At this point, Zuo Xian glanced at Qin Manjiang. "Haven't you noticed? For a terrifying being capable of manipulating ghosts and tearing space apart, it called its own creation the Ghost Story Game. And the entire game operates entirely according to human logic."
Zuo Xian chuckled. "That's the best evidence. Humans can't understand an existence beyond human understanding. That might sound like a pointless statement, but think carefully. The Eye Realm's current rules were basically all established from a human perspective. That's stupid. From the way the entire Ghost Story Game was built to those neither-male-nor-female [System Voices], everything reeks of human manufacture."
"So we set a trap, planning to lure out whoever truly controls the [Eye Realm]," Zuo Xian said, her voice full of amusement. "Yi Lianhai even discovered loopholes those idiots left behind when they modified the [Eye Realm] without permission. He's already made a creation that can enter the Eye Realm through another [Backend]. There's only one of those devices for now, but as you know, creating something from nothing is hard. Once you have the first one, though, it's only a matter of time before Yi Lianhai builds a second."
"As for Jiang Du and me..."
