Another pop-up window appeared, Song Xiaozhu snapped out of her thoughts and focused on it.
Name: Ning Yao.
Gender: Female.
Occupation: Elementalist.
Status: Despair.
This is not a God-Favored, but rather a member of the Ci Yu team.
To break into the top ten, Ci Yu's abilities must be quite good. He will definitely have Awakened, and they might even belong to some large organization.
but,
The four major organizations have a rather subtle attitude towards this battle for the God-Favored.
Time was too short, the rules too bizarre, and controlling one madman after another was no easy task.
Moreover, this struggle developed exceptionally rapidly. It was as if there was some fatal attraction between the God-Favored, always managing to meet quickly, followed by a life-or-death battle. In just a few months, it had reached such a heated state.
Ning Yao is an "Elementalist," a combat-type profession that Song Xiaozhu is quite curious about. "Elementalists" are somewhat similar to mages in games, able to use the Force to manipulate the surrounding elements and unleash terrifying power.
Unfortunately, Song Xiaozhu never unlocked this profession and was unable to grant the villagers the authorization.
Otherwise, their combat power would increase exponentially, Three Kills Gang even less worth mentioning.
Just as Song Xiaozhu had thought, Ning Yao was Ci Yu's "teammate." They were lying in ambush in the same place and there was no conflict between them.
Song Xiaozhu still couldn't make out Ning Yao from the thumbnail, only vaguely discerning that she was thin, disguised as a villager, and surrounded by a faint black aura.
Considering her condition, Song Xiaozhu roughly understood.
Ci Yu mad, Ning Yao was in despair.
Upon closer inspection, the former reveals intricate red threads resembling a spiderweb, while the latter appears as a heavy, oppressive black cloud.
Song Xiaozhu asked Xiao He, "Can we check it more precisely?"
Xiao He: "Would you like to spend 100 Quantum Coin to take a closer look?"
Song Xiaozhu nodded. "Mm."
This is somewhat similar to checking a friend's status on a personal terminal. After consuming Quantum Coin, a large window popped up, and Song Xiaozhu's gaze fell on the camera of their personal terminal, just like when she checked Lu Xiaofang.
As expected, the Base Manager locates the site via a personal terminal.
The Skynet covers the Holy City and the 99 Testing Ground outside the city. Those God-Favored leave the Testing Ground must each have a personal terminal. Without this, it is almost impossible to walk outside the Testing Ground, and they cannot even see the "ranking of those God-Favored ".
However, while this personal terminal brings convenience, it also undoubtedly harbors dangers.
Song Xiaozhu guessed that she probably wasn't the only one with "viewing" privileges.
Ci Yu and Ning Yao's personal terminals have professional firewalls that can resist hacker intrusions.
However, the capabilities of the Workbench are clearly beyond the reach of ordinary hackers.
Song Xiaozhu could even pierce through the Skynet and create a Blank account; this Xiaoxiao...
What's a firewall anyway? It's easily breached.
Through their personal terminals, Song Xiaozhu saw Ci Yu and Ning Yao clearly.
Ci Yu very young, about the same age as she had imagined, around twenty years old, similar to Fan Cang, but with a completely different temperament.
He had a short buzz cut, thick eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and thin lips beneath a high, straight nose. His handsome, cold face was marred by a hideous scar running across his cheek.
The scars were from burns; half of his face was twisted and grotesque, a shocking sight.
Ning Yao should be a bit older, but only about three or four years older. Her skin was pale, even her lips had lost their color. Her features were delicate and beautiful, but she had heavy dark circles under her eyes. Her overall mental state was extremely poor. She was very thin, so thin that her fingers hanging out looked like bones.
wrong...
Song Xiaozhu looked closely; it wasn't just like bones, but truly devoid of flesh and skin, leaving only bones.
Ning Yao grabbed Ci Yu with his skeletal hand and whispered, " A Ci, come back with me!"
Ci Yu's voice was extremely low, hoarse and tinged with madness. "Let go."
Ning Yao gripped even tighter, struggling to maintain his composure. "This is a trap. That madman Fan Cang deliberately lured you here. Once we're exposed, he'll kill you immediately!"
Ci Yu: "He wants to kill me? He can't kill me, nobody can kill me. As long as I find No. 199, as long as I get another Heart of the Creator, I can level up to level five! Yaoyao, you don't know how strong level five is. At that time, I can easily kill Fan Cang, and not only Fan Cang, but also Su Wenjun, Gao Mingshu, and Shang Xiaoyue. They will all die, they will all die!"
At this point, a maniacal smile spread across Ci Yu's face, making his grotesque scars appear even more ferocious. His voice rose several decibels. "Kill them and I will be the ' Creator,' the sole winner. I will become the heir to the Han-Tang Group, and then..."
He grabbed Ning Yao's thin shoulders, his gaze burning into her eyes. "By then, no one will dare look down on me, no one will be able to bully us! When I become the ' Creator,' when I inherit the Han-Tang Group, no one will be able to separate us. I will marry you, and we will have true freedom!"
With a loud slap, Ning Yao struck him across the face. Her eyes were red-rimmed, making the dark circles under them appear even heavier. " Ci Yu, wake up! There is no freedom in this world."
Ci Yu froze for a moment, but soon his eyes blazed with passion again. He pulled Ning Yao into his arms and said softly, "Yes, there is. The freedom we yearn for will definitely come! Yaoyao, as long as I become the ' Creator '... right? I am the chosen one of God, I am the Child of Hope of Dharma City!"
"If we kill Number 199 and Fan Cang, I can gain divine power. Then, shall we go back to Dharma City? I'll renounce my vows and be with you. We can build Garden of Eden together."
He grew increasingly agitated, his demeanor frenzied, his words incoherent. Ning Yao nestled against his neck, her gaze lowered, her voice eerily calm. " Ci Yu, I don't want to see you kill anymore. Number 199 has never killed anyone before. You can't kill her like this... Besides, this village is a trap. If you make a move, you'll die here. Come back with me, okay? We won't fight anymore..."
