Chapter 978: Nightfall

“‘Zhu Que’ he…” After hearing this, Chen Junnan also scratched his head. “Damn… you’re right…”

“The few of us are all people who’ve survived here long enough,” Jiang Ruoxue said, folding her arms. “We’ve seen these ‘Divine Beasts’ several times, right? ‘Zhu Que’ doesn’t even wear shoes. Whether he has extra ‘eyes’ on his body is almost immediately apparent. Does he look like he’s been ‘implanted’?”

Although Chen Junnan hadn’t had many opportunities to see ‘Zhu Que,’ he remembered that person being completely naked, flipping up and down in the air like a bird.

“Tsk…” Zhou Liu pondered for a few seconds before speaking. “Could it be that he only has one ‘Echo’?”

“That seems impossible no matter how you think about it…” Chen Junnan replied. “That exhibitionist has at least two ‘Echoes.’ He always suddenly appears and then floats in mid-air, which means he definitely has ‘Leap’ and ‘Levitation.’ As for others… it’s hard to say.”

“Tsk, then where are his ‘eyes’?” Zhou Liu said. “I mean… how should we kill him?”

Chen Junnan lowered his head, reached up to tug at the hair on his forehead and turned it around a few times, looking as if he was seriously thinking.

“Hiss…” He slowly sucked in a breath. “That bastard… could he only have two ‘Echoes’…?”

“Only two ‘Echoes’…?” Jiang Ruoxue was stunned. “Are you sure? That’s a ‘Divine Beast,’ at least on par with ‘Qinglong’ and ‘Xuanwu.’ No matter how you think about it, there’s no way he only has two ‘Echoes,’ right?”

After a few seconds, Chen Junnan raised his head and said, “I’m not Old Qi. I can’t think of so many convoluted reasons, but my feeling is… this kid has two ‘Echoes,’ and he happens to have two ‘eyes,’ so could it be…”

“…?”

After hearing this, Zhou Liu and Jiang Ruoxue showed extremely wonderful expressions.

After a moment, Jiang Ruoxue extended a slender finger and pointed at her own eyes. “Calabash Brother Young Master Confused Brother, you mean… ‘Zhu Que’s’ one eye is one ‘Echo,’ a total of two eyes, so two ‘Echoes’?”

“Isn’t that exactly it…?” Chen Junnan asked.

Jiang Ruoxue held back for a long time before finally spitting out one word: “Fine…”

“Fine, fine,” Jiang Ruoxue said expressionlessly. “I’d better chat with Zhou Mo instead. Confused Brother, move aside.”

The two completely ignored Chen Junnan and started chatting on their own.

After saying just a few sentences, Zhou Liu sighed deeply and said, “Tsk, if this matter is true… everyone shouldn’t sleep tonight.”

She turned her head to look at Yun Shijiu, and this young man who claimed to have seen “big scenes” had already been shocked speechless.

“Shijiu… tsk, let’s call Wu Ge and all the brothers together for a meeting later,” Zhou Liu said. “We can only first consider countermeasures assuming what this great genius said is true… after all, success or failure depends on this one action.”

“Alright… I understand…” Yun Shijiu nodded.

He had never imagined that walking into the room so ordinarily today, he would accidentally get involved in a major event concerning the entire future of ‘Cat.’

“Then let me summarize once more,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Zhou Mo, tomorrow morning we’ll first assemble all the ‘Extreme Path’ personnel. When everyone is gathered, you maintain contact with us, then return to ‘Cat’ to carry out your mission.”

“Mm.” Zhou Liu nodded.

“We’ll operate on two fronts. I’ll go find Zhichun as soon as possible and have her lead the entire team to carry out the ‘Extreme Path’ mission. You act according to circumstances.”

“Alright.”

“Thank you for your hard work,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “I hope that after this reincarnation ends… everyone will have a good ending.”

Although she spoke words of encouragement, neither Jiang Ruoxue nor Zhou Mo could feel happy.

Even if everyone’s plans succeed at dawn… the price paid would already be very high.

Everyone here has struggled for decades. Even if they win, how happy can they be?

Even if a stone that’s been pressing on you for decades is removed, no one’s back can straighten up.

If all the plans go smoothly… ‘Heavenly Dragon,’ ‘Qinglong,’ the ‘Divine Beasts,’ ‘Heaven’ are all dead…

Then what…? Will there be any substantial changes here…?

Jiang Ruoxue and Zhou Liu could only immediately stop their thoughts, otherwise the belief they were gritting their teeth to maintain would completely collapse.

“Alright, let’s proceed according to this plan,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “You explain the situation to Qian Wu first. We’ll head back now.”

“Wait… wait a moment…” Chen Junnan said dumbfounded. “Why do I hear that this plan doesn’t include me…”

Jiang Ruoxue glanced at him and replied, “You represent Qi Xia… you should act according to his instructions, right?”

“Damn… I don’t know what the hell Old Qi wants to do at all. Doesn’t that make me completely useless?” Chen Junnan asked again.

“No…” Jiang Ruoxue shook her head. “Confused Brother, there’s something I need your help with. On a small scale, it’s my personal request. On a large scale, I’m asking you on behalf of the entire ‘Land of the End.'”

“What is it? That serious?”

“Tomorrow Zhichun will also participate in the ‘Earth Dragon’ game. I hope you can ensure her survival,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Once she dies… although Qi Xia might still have ways to salvage things, I’m afraid the ‘plan’ will be affected.”

“This…” After hearing this, Chen Junnan nodded. “Alright… leave it to me.”

Seeing Jiang Ruoxue stand up, Chen Junnan also hastily stood up. “Jiang Da Jie… you’re going back under cover of darkness?”

“Yes,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Confused Brother, I need to go keep Zhichun company. When she’s alone, she tends to overthink.”

“Al…right…” Chen Junnan nodded. “Anyway, the bugs are off duty tonight. If you’re going back, then go back. I also need to go back and keep Old Qi company, although whether I’m there or not, he’ll overthink anyway.”

Zhou Liu stood up and gave Yun Shijiu a look. At this moment, Yun Shijiu also withdrew the aura that had been wrapping around everyone.

“Zhou Mo Jie, I’ll head back first then,” Chen Junnan said. “Although you’re quite busy, don’t forget to send a message to Old Qi. What if that kid really has something to tell you?”

“Tsk, I know.”

The three people left separately. Jiang Ruoxue and Chen Junnan hurried toward ‘Heaven’s Gate’ under cover of darkness, while ‘Cat’ immediately became turbulent. Many people heeded the summons of Qian Wu and Zhou Liu, their expressions grave and without a word as they rushed to the conference room.

Today was obviously a sleepless night for ‘Cat.’ A fervent silence filled the entire prison.
