Song Qi and Chen Junnan walked quickly through the night, finally returning to the “Cat” headquarters before it became completely dark.

“Damn it…” Chen Junnan cursed without good humor. “Searched for so long and still couldn’t find Sister Dong…”

“You’re really optimistic,” Song Qi said, looking at Chen Junnan. “This place is so big, and you’re actually relying on ‘fate’ to find people?”

“So what?” Chen Junnan shrugged. “Does my young master’s method of leaving things to fate bother you?”

“Can’t really say it ‘bothers me’…” Song Qi was about to speak when a white figure suddenly lunged at them from the side. It was actually a person who looked like an insect.

Without even turning his head, Song Qi simply waved his hand, and the “person” was blown away by a small explosion. The flash of fire briefly illuminated their faces in the darkness.

“Chen Junnan… why exactly did you come back with me?” Song Qi shook his hand and turned to ask. “Do you know many people in ‘Cat’?”

“To be honest… probably not that many…” Chen Junnan’s lips curved up. “Maybe just two or three.”

The two fell silent after that. In just a few steps, they saw the guard at the prison entrance in the pitch-black night.

“Sixth Sister, we’re back,” Song Qi said respectfully to the woman.

“Mm.” Zhou Liu nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Junnan behind Song Qi. “Tsk, and who’s this?”

Hearing those three short words, Chen Junnan’s brow furrowed slightly.

How laughable. In this godforsaken place, no matter how reliable the relationship or how many life-and-death moments you’ve shared with comrades, they could completely forget you.

“This young master is a handsome guy. How should I address this beautiful lady?” Chen Junnan asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Liu felt an inexplicable fire rising from her heart. She reached behind her, grabbed an iron rod, and swung it onto her shoulder with one hand. “Tsk, one moment ‘young master,’ the next ‘beautiful lady’… the way you talk is really fucking irritating.”

Chen Junnan found it somewhat amusing. He slowly took a step forward and said, “Hey, no way? You greet guests with an iron rod?”

“Tsk, what kind of guest are you?”

“Sixth Sister.” Song Qi waved his hand. “This is the Chen Junnan that Qi Xia requested for ‘authenticating truth and falsehood.’ He should count as a guest. Cool down.”

“Tsk…” Zhou Liu looked at Chen Junnan with disdain, then lowered her head and said softly, “Open the door.”

Within seconds, the prison gate behind Zhou Liu made a “clatter clatter” sound, and the rolling shutter door slowly rose.

“Thanks!” Chen Junnan smiled, turned around, and followed Song Qi into the prison.

After he turned around, a trace of disappointment spread across his face.

Zhou Mo no longer remembered him, so what about Qian Duoduo?

Was the meaning of “Cat’s” existence different from what he had imagined?

The two walked across the prison courtyard when they suddenly saw two noisy figures. They stopped to look and discovered the two were Qiao Jiajin and Qi Xia.

“Liar Boy, look, punching like this has power!” Qiao Jiajin said while swinging his fists. “The way you punch really won’t work. Once the force is unstable, it’s easy to hurt your own wrist.”

“Like this?” Qi Xia asked expressionlessly.

“No, no, no, like this.”

Not far from the two noisy people sat a child. The child was constantly hugging a short sword folded from newspaper, cautiously watching the surroundings.

It was precisely Zheng Yingxiong, whom Chen Junnan had seen yesterday.

Chen Junnan scratched his head, then looked again at Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin. This was truly a scene rarely seen in a hundred years. Was Qi Xia actually learning to punch from Qiao Jiajin?

“Junnan Boy?” Qiao Jiajin noticed Chen Junnan standing not far away and called out softly.

Qi Xia also raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him.

He had originally wanted to have Song Qi confirm whether Chen Junnan was safe, but unexpectedly Chen Junnan had directly followed him here.

In that case, was there still a need to return to “Heaven’s Gate”?

“How was today?” Qi Xia asked straight to the point.

“Today…” After hearing this, Chen Junnan slowly frowned, then replied, “Old Qi, this matter is a long story…”

He looked back at Song Qi, then said in a low voice, “Let’s find a place where we can talk. I’ll tell you about today’s events.”

Qi Xia nodded, turned around and gave Qiao Jiajin a look. The three of them left Song Qi behind and headed straight for the cells.

Zheng Yingxiong watched the backs of the three people. His nose twitched. He inserted the short sword back into his waist and quickly followed.

…

After arriving at the cell, Chen Junnan looked outside once, and after confirming there was no one nearby, reached out to close the iron-barred door.

“Why are you being so careful?” Qi Xia said. “This door is all iron bars, the soundproofing definitely isn’t good.”

“Old Qi, I’m a bit confused right now…” Chen Junnan didn’t pay attention to Qi Xia, just sat down on the bed on his own. “There are some things I can’t figure out. I need you to help me think.”

“Can’t figure it out?” Qiao Jiajin became interested upon hearing this. “Come on, Junnan Boy, tell us. I’ll help you solve your doubts.”

Just as Chen Junnan was about to speak, a thin figure was already standing at the door.

“Little Young Hero?” Chen Junnan was startled, then turned to look at Qi Xia. “What’s this kid’s identity?”

“I can’t really say…” Qi Xia said, stroking his chin. “But he’s isolated and helpless now. He might become our helper.”

“Yo…” Chen Junnan smiled after hearing this. “Since Old Qi has spoken, I won’t charge you admission this time. Come in and listen.”

Zheng Yingxiong nodded seriously after hearing this and also walked in.

The three looked at Chen Junnan, not knowing what he was going to say. After waiting for a long time, he finally rubbed his temples and slowly spoke.

“Old Qi, there’s just one thing I can’t figure out…”

“Go ahead,” Qi Xia said.

“Right now… who exactly am I?”

“What?”

This question left everyone completely bewildered.

Chen Junnan had no choice but to recount everything that had happened today.

In his memory, he had originally planned to participate in the Earth-level game after dawn, but unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he was standing in a dark basement, facing Jin Yuanxun who was carrying a bundle on his back.

Jin Yuanxun thought he was being followed and was about to attack when he turned around, but Chen Junnan grabbed his arm in just a few moves.

As the two were in a stalemate, Chen Junnan spoke first: “Hey… what is this place exactly?”

Jin Yuanxun also felt it was somewhat strange: “I blocked the entrance, how did you even get in?!”

“How would this young master know?!”

The two were in a stalemate for a while before Chen Junnan spoke: “How about this… you take me out, and I’ll pretend I was never here, okay?”

Jin Yuanxun looked at him warily, finally slowly releasing his grip.

The two kept staring at each other. After Jin Yuanxun confirmed that Chen Junnan wasn’t dangerous, he opened the basement door.

Only then did Chen Junnan discover that he had actually climbed out of a grave next to “Heaven’s Gate.”
