Dear

Xiao Yu remained noncommittal after hearing what Old Li said.

If this Moha Religion a powerful background, the promises Old Li made to him couldn't reassure him at all.

"Old Li, I've already told you what happened before. It's obvious that the Moha Religion is plotting something. Tell me quickly, what has happened during this time? Also, is Naiser still in prison?"

Old Li sighed, "A lot has happened lately."

He thought for a moment, "First of all, they've already gotten Shen Yuan and Naiser out of there."

(Just as I thought), Xiao Yu wasn't surprised at all upon hearing this. Clearly, the Earl of Monte Cristo was Naiser. The Naiser he had seen at the National Guard Bureau was either fake or a virtual character controlled by Naiser. The National Guard Bureau itself was fake.

"Didn't you try to bring them back?"

"There's nothing we can do. The power behind them is just too great. Even our National Guard Bureau can't easily take action."

Old Li scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. After all, the person was rescued from their hands, which was quite embarrassing to admit.

"But don't worry, we've been investigating and tracking them recently, and these two may very well become our breakthrough point."

What are your plans?

"Of course, we've already identified them. As long as they cause trouble in the game, we'll have a reason to arrest them. This brings us to the second matter: the War of the Gods is nearing its conclusion."

Xiao Yu was slightly surprised to hear this, not expecting the War of the Gods to end so soon.

Although he was imprisoned in Earth 2.0 for almost half a year, things have really changed a lot.

"Oh, how's the battle going?"

"Most of the gods have been destroyed. Now, three gods are still holding on: the God of Light, the God of Eternity, and the Creator God. They have defeated all the other gods, and the followers of those defeated gods have become their followers."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "This is really unexpected. I've never even heard of the God of Eternity before. As for the Creator God? Isn't that a false god created by Blasphemers?"

"This is what we're going to talk about. The game War of the Gods is becoming more and more popular, and the players are becoming increasingly fanatical about the virtual gods in the game. It feels like they are being brainwashed by religion."

Once a final winner is determined, we highly suspect they will begin their so-called God-Creation Plan.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Wasn't it already too late for you by then?"

What if their plan succeeds?

Old Li chuckled, "Plan succeeded? Heh, you must have gone mad from sleeping. How could it possibly succeed? No matter what kind of cult or mystical organization it is, in the end they're all just playing games and deceiving people. If they don't cause trouble and just talk about theories, that's fine. But as soon as they start causing trouble, that's when they'll be exposed. To be honest, I'm not really afraid of them having some kind of God-Creation Plan."

Perhaps this will make them realize that everything they're doing is just empty talk and meaningless. What we fear most is that, like last time, they'll trap players in the game and affect things in real life.

Or they might simply use this control over people's minds to influence the real world.

Xiao Yu nodded; he thought so too. In fact, if the other party could really pull off something miraculous, he would really like to see it for himself.

However, Old Li's concerns were not unfounded. If they could use Earth Online 2.0 to fool him, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't use it to brainwash other players. After all, the game's effects were too realistic. If they demonstrated some kind of miracle in Earth Online 2.0 then used players' faith in God to cause trouble in real life, that would be disastrous.

Historically, religious organizations like this have always been the most sinister, let alone one that possesses advanced technology.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, and then voiced his concerns.

Old Li nodded. "That's indeed what we're worried about. So now we need you to continue investigating this matter in the game. If possible, try to expose the Moha Religion. Even if you can't expose it, you should at least muddy the waters and try to attract the Moha Religion's attention, forcing them to reveal their true colors so we can take action."

"Go back to the game!?" Xiao Yu shook his head violently. "I'm not going in again. I almost died in there last time."

Old Li hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the reason you were in danger last time was because you were tricked, and you and your surroundings didn't have enough safety measures. But this time it's different. We will protect you around you, and we will wake you up from the outside every 24 hours, so you don't have to worry about being trapped in the game anymore."

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, but I need to rest first. Also, I'll need your help."

Since the last Astral Plane Communication with Esmeralda was a false alarm, Xiao Yu decided to try again this time.

The raven that appeared to him in his dream in Earth Online 2.0 Medivh Xiao Yu.

Now all he has to do is find a way to locate Medivh and have a serious talk with him about what really happened.

And that's where Old Li's help comes in.

What do you need our help with?

"I need a mage who can use Astral Plane Communication."

"No problem, but from now on, you'll still be coming back to headquarters with us."

Sitting in the flying car, Xiao Yu chatted with Chenghong Moli. Coming out of Earth Online 2.0 gave Xiao Yu a sense of relief. As he relaxed, Xiao Yu immediately remembered how Chenghong Moli had called him before.

"By the way, Moli, have you been trapped in Earth Online 2.0 for a while? What happened to you there?"

"N-nothing," Chenghong Moli said, giving him a somewhat resentful look before turning her gaze to the scenery outside the window.

Xiao Yu felt something was wrong; something was definitely fishy. Chenghong Moli and he should be in a virtual world. Since they could create a fake Esmeralda to deceive him, they might be able to create a fake version of himself to deceive Chenghong Moli. Recalling how Chenghong Moli had called him "darling" before, Xiao Yu had a vague sense of foreboding.

Suddenly, Chenghong Moli unconsciously grasped his hand. He looked up and saw that Chenghong Moli seemed completely unaware of what she was doing. Perhaps it was just an unintentional act of affection, but it made Xiao Yu of something, which immediately put him under some Alexander.
