Chapter 55: Big Trouble
Luxianbei stared blankly at the Proxy Player Sister. After a brief silence, he helplessly spread his hands and said, “So there’s no room for negotiation, huh?”
“Um, for now, yes…” The Proxy Player Sister replied with guilt, patting Luxianbei’s shoulder, then changing the subject, “But don’t worry!”
“I told you, Sister Me, if there’s a problem, I’ll take care of it!”
Hearing this, Luxianbei furrowed his brow, feeling that things weren’t simple. “What you call taking care of it means making me sacrifice my life for a cheat, right?”
“Uh… hehe.” The Proxy Player Sister chuckled awkwardly without giving a direct answer.
Luxianbei, “…”
Although sacrificing my life is better than having no life at all, why does it feel like I’m being tricked?
It was like being lured into an unscrupulous merchant’s trap, with compulsory consumption where one link leads to another. The difference is that the unscrupulous merchant wants money, while the Proxy Player Sister wants lives…
Luxianbei grumbled to himself and finally compromised, “Alright then, given the current situation, I can only do what you say.”
“However, before we set off, I have two doubts that I need you to answer.”
The Proxy Player Sister straightened her back and gestured for him to speak. “Go ahead!”
“The first question…” Luxianbei slightly organized his words, “According to you, the deities in the special space, although originated from the projection of Huacheng, have relatively independent lives.”
“If that’s the case, why do the people entering from the outside merge with their projections? What happens to those original beings after merging?”
“Well…” The Proxy Player Sister pondered for two seconds and vaguely explained, “Let’s put it this way! When the genuine article comes, the fake can’t be used anymore. In a situation where only one can remain, after reading the data of the fake, it naturally must be discarded, right?”
Luxianbei was stunned for a moment and tentatively asked, “Dead?”
“…”
The Proxy Player Sister pressed her lips tightly together and remained silent, but from her slightly dimmed eyes, Luxianbei already received a definitive answer.
“Alright, I get it.” Luxianbei nodded and asked the next question, “The second question is, you just said that after I successfully control this special space, I might attract big trouble?”
“Can you tell me specifically what kind of big trouble there is?”
Trouble is not scary; what’s scary is not knowing what the trouble is.
If I can know what troubles there are, I can prepare adequately.
I could take the initiative against the troubles I can solve, formulate countermeasures for the ones I can’t temporarily deal with, and plan an escape route for the ones I can’t handle at all, Luxianbei thought.
The Proxy Player Sister opened her mouth and silently sighed, “First, Siye Society will definitely keep an eye on you.”
“And unlike when you completed Hundred Demons Walk where they only sent in one inspector for contact, their surveillance will be discreet and strict, so meticulous they could count how many nose hairs you have.”
“They might even prepare a big killer weapon specifically to restrict you, just like they did when establishing the Tangcheng barrier against Jumeng.”
“Huh? TMD, why?” Luxianbei said innocently, “I thought my character in Siye Society was that of a law-abiding good urban legend!”
Hearing this, Luxianbei felt a bit anxious.
Isn’t this a trouble I can’t solve right from the start?
Although because Siye Society misjudged Jumeng’s strength, the Tangcheng barrier could only heavily injure Jumeng and not guarantee a k*ll.
But just the thought that Siye Society might be preparing a “cannon” near Huacheng made her feel uneasy.
If they can’t k*ll me in one blow, wouldn’t they just come back for a second attack?
“How can you, who’s already on the wanted list, still claim to be law-abiding?” The Proxy Player Sister retorted.
Luxianbei, “…”
“It’s quite simple!” Seeing her not speak, the Proxy Player Sister shrugged, “Didn’t I just say? This special space looks like a temporarily unremovable illegal building in the eyes of Siye Society.”
“If someone or an urban legend helps destroy this special space, Siye Society not only won’t pursue it but might even present a small banner of appreciation.”
“But once you take control of it, it’s different!”
“You not only possess the illegal building that’s sealed off, but also wield a dangerous weapon that could destroy a city at any time or even cause damage over a larger area…”
Upon hearing this, Luxianbei understood the Proxy Player Sister’s meaning and nodded, “I see, it’s like a local gang suddenly acquiring large-scale weapons of mass destruction, right?”
“Yeah…” The Proxy Player Sister replied, “However, as long as it doesn’t violate principles, I still hope you won’t go against them.”
“Understood!” Luxianbei nodded.
Even though Siye Society is a bit lacking and unreliable, they have indeed been working hard to maintain stability over the years.
Now I suddenly became a huge instability factor; it’s quite friendly of them that they haven’t sent three or five Disaster-Class Spiritual Energy Manipulators to eliminate me, just monitoring. In this day and age, who isn’t living under surveillance?
Just like the other day when I was scrolling through short videos and said, “LOL,” then turned to Taobao’s homepage and they served me a recommendation for coffin products like it was some underworld job.
Luxianbei pondered and pressed on, “Actually, this doesn’t sound like such a big trouble; there should be other troubles, right?”
“…” The Proxy Player Sister hesitated, slightly parting her lips and pausing for a few seconds, “Do you know you almost died three times before you were born?”
“Huh? Before I was born?” Luxianbei looked at the Proxy Player Sister in confusion, unable to connect how her controlling this special space related to almost dying before birth.
“To put it simply, someone has a grudge against your parents or simply doesn’t want to see you being born, and they took action.” The Proxy Player Sister explained.
“Later, it was your parents who spent a lot of time reasoning with those people before resorting to force, which is how you were able to come into this world.”
“Before, those people might have turned a blind eye to your existence, but once you master this special space, I can’t guarantee they won’t come to bother you.”
As the saying goes, the tiger’s power lingers even after it’s dead.
In fact, as long as this special space and Mrs. Wang Meili’s remaining powers still exist, those people would hesitate to act against Luxianbei out of fear of her.
Although the special space doesn’t provide substantial protection, those with ill intentions don’t know that!
In this situation, even if someone brings up old grievances, they would probably hypocritically say, “The person is dead, past grievances are like clouds, let it go!” or pretentiously claim, “I’m magnanimous; I’m merely letting that little brat live.”
However, to control this special space, Luxianbei must inherit Mrs. Wang Meili’s remaining powers.
After that, she would have to spend a long time to comprehend and assimilate the newfound powers.
During this process, not only would she find it difficult to utilize the remaining powers of Mrs. Wang Meili, but even her original strength could be burdened by this massive “inheritance,” making it impossible to fully exert.
By then, those who were once frightened by Lu Ming and Mrs. Wang Meili might regain their old desires and seek revenge, but it would be uncertain.
So it’s true that a child without parents is really unfortunate.
“What the hell?! Were they that malicious? Three times in a row? They’re really trying to k*ll me, huh?” Luxianbei exclaimed indignantly, “Tell me who they are, and when I see them…”
“Uh, definitely take a detour! If that doesn’t work, I’ll go harm their children so they know how dangerous the school route home is!”
“After finishing off their kids, eh, I’ll run to Siye Society; they wouldn’t dare come find me there, right?”
The Proxy Player Sister, “…”
Just as expected of you; when I was listening to the first half of that, I thought you were going to confront them head-on!
Instead, it turned out you want to bully kids?
Great, very despicable, I really like it! The Proxy Player Sister thought.
“I can tell you, but I only know some members of the Solar Eclipse Society are involved, and they only make up a small part. I don’t know what other forces the others come from.”
Hearing this, Luxianbei frowned and complained, “What are you saying? I can’t stand people like you who sell anxiety!”
It feels like when a teacher tells you there’s an exam next week but doesn’t say what the scope is or when it is; you know the test is imminent, but you can only feel anxious.
“I…” The Proxy Player Sister hesitated.
Where the hell should I know?
Do you expect me to tell you that when I found this special space back then, I had already killed too many people and urban legends, and accidentally wiped those guys out? The Proxy Player Sister thought.
In fact, she had too many enemies, and sometimes she didn’t even know why they would attack her.
Who knows if they held a grudge because of old conflicts with Lu Ming and Qin Nanzhu, or they vaguely sensed the threat of “calamity,” or if it was because she had scammed the old lady she helped get off the ground out of her pension?
However, if the lingering doubts can’t be solved, why not just eliminate all the troublemakers?
In the end, once she infiltrates the Solar Eclipse Society and becomes a member of the Elders’ Council, knowing there was a potential threat that existed that she wasn’t aware of, by the time she does, not a single one of those remaining people will have the courage to stand up.
The Proxy Player Sister contemplated and rolled her eyes at Luxianbei, “Alright, the time for clarifying doubts has come to an end; you should probably head back now.”
“Ready?”
“Yeah!” Luxianbei’s gaze sharpened as he nodded.
“Great, then I’ll send you off!” The Proxy Player Sister said.
“Wait!” Luxianbei instinctively raised his hand in opposition, “Speaking of which, is that it? Is there no additional bonus or anything?”
Thinking of skimming off the top? The Proxy Player Sister tilted her head and ignored Luxianbei, merely snapping her fingers lightly.
“Snap—!”
Accompanied by a soft sound, an invisible spirit energy fluctuation spread out.
In the next moment, a dark whirlpool appeared beneath Luxianbei’s feet.
Suddenly, a sense of weightlessness struck, and she fell into the darkness.
The dilapidated rooftop returned to silence once more.
(Today’s state isn’t great, so the update is a bit short…)
