CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 300: HAPPINESS COMES TOO SUDDENLY (EXTRA UPDATE 3/3 FOR JADE PENDANT XI)_2

But it doesn’t matter, Yin Zhi’en thought, he doesn’t need this cage to be completely opened, just a small gap is enough for him to escape.

However, after pressing the switch, the expected "click" sound of the metal rod turning did not happen.

...What’s going on?!

Yin Zhi’en widened his eyes in shock, searching the cage, quickly finding the problem—

Right in front of him, another "Yin Zhi’en" was there, just like him, pressing his back against the metal rod, hands firmly holding down another button, preventing the cage from being opened.

Yin Zhi’en was startled, dropping his act, and yelled across, "Who are you really? How do you know how to work the mechanism in this cage?!"

The other "Yin Zhi’en" heard this, chuckled, "You just said, the impregnable metal cage incorporates the shedding of the Divine Staff Sheath, which I found and gave to that guild leader of yours. Why do you think I would know how to use this mechanism?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Zhi’en was taken aback, "You... you’re Yumiantao Hua? You, you’re not dead?!"

The other simply smiled without speaking. Yin Zhi’en wanted to ask more, but an instinctive feeling made his whole body tingle, unconsciously looking in another direction, where Wen Nan approached with a sinister expression while holding that gemstone fragment.

Yin Zhi’en knew he was trapped by his own doing, with nowhere to escape, his legs gave way, kneeling down on the ground once more.

A moment later, a piercing pain stabbed from his chest, leaving him limp, curled up on the ground, shaking violently.

Accompanying the pain was a system notification in his mind—

[Detected Heart-Piercing Gu inserted, Gu controller: Ye Jiu.]

At the same time, Wen Nan’s mind showed an input box—

9527: [Heart-Piercing Gu implant successful, please enter your command line below to complete Gu control——]

9527: [Note: Please ensure the singularity and feasibility of this command, and ensure it applies to the target implanted with the Gu Worm. If you input unrealistic commands like "world peace" or "cancel male menopause," it will cause the target to be unable to execute the command, resulting in the Gu Worm devouring the heart until the Gu Worm is defeated by the target, causing implantation failure, or the target is overwhelmed by the Gu Worm resulting in player account cancellation. So please fill carefully.]

Wen Nan shrugged, thinking "world peace" was one thing, but what was the deal with the latter command, as if he would actually write such an absurd command without being reminded.

After pondering for just a moment, Wen Nan quickly wrote down the command he had planned long ago—

9527: [Gu controller commands: Target to return to the Ghost Control Master Alliance, stationed by the Guild Leader’s side as an undercover for Wenna, to complete information collection and feedback, and to promptly execute orders from Wenna’s Guild Leader.]

Once the command line was input, it instantly synced to Yin Zhi’en’s system, asking if he accepted it.

Yin Zhi’en had no choice but to accept. Even though he was entrusted with important tasks by President Carl, he was just a new player, no match for the pain of the Heart-Piercing Gu. If he refused, death was the only path.

Without much hesitation, Yin Zhi’en clicked accept.

The next moment, an invisible brand imprinted on his heart, forcing him to become the Gu controller’s undercover agent.

Wen Nan received confirmation of the successful Gu implant in the system, smiled, and extended his hand towards Yin Zhi’en.

Yin Zhi’en froze for a moment, then finally grasped Wen Nan’s extended hand.

Wen Nan hauled him up and patted his shoulder, "Pleasure working with you."

Yin Zhi’en couldn’t put into words his feelings at that moment. He was recruited into the Ghost Control Master Alliance as an outstanding newcomer, and being chosen by President Carl for this mission, he thought he could succeed and rise directly to the guild’s management level. Who would have thought he would crash and burn in front of this man...

However, thinking again, this man even managed to control Jun Wuming. What could Yin Zhi’en compare, why would he think he could win against him?

Accept defeat where it’s due, skills were inferior, bow down willingly.

Yin Zhi’en lowered his head to Wen Nan, "I will not fail to live up to the mission."

Wen Nan thought of another matter, asking Yin Zhi’en: "You have the "Loyal Subject" identity, with the same goal as us in this instance. For your guild leader, you trapped the queen in this cage with all your efforts. If I really fell into your trap and the ceremony couldn’t proceed as scheduled, both you and us wouldn’t be able to pass this instance. Losing the player account for the leader’s task, is it worth it?"

Yin Zhi’en shook his head, "Even if I lost, I wouldn’t cancel my account."

"Really?" Wen Nan raised an eyebrow lightly.

"Yeah," Yin Zhi’en nodded confidently, "The leader has a resurrection card. I’ve sacrificed for the guild. Once the mission ends, he’ll use the resurrection card on me."

"Heh."

As soon as Yin Zhi’en finished speaking, a mocking chuckle came from nearby.

The two of them looked towards the direction of the laugh, seeing Yang Mingzhong shaking his head, smiling.

"What are you laughing at!" Yin Zhi’en looked at him, slightly annoyed.

Yang Mingzhong said, "That dear leader of yours, doesn’t even have a resurrection card."

"You’re lying! The leader personally showed me the card! He even placed my name on the shortlist for its use!" Yin Zhi’en began to defend the man he admired.

Yang Mingzhong sighed, "It’s the man’s usual trick. That resurrection card is fake. He doesn’t have such a rare item, and even if he did, there’s no chance he’d waste it on a newcomer like you."
