"What, you want to snatch it?"

Li Ang raised the lantern, deftly avoiding the viper's outstretched hand, and sneered, "What I give you is yours. What I don't give you, you can't take."

*I wonder if you're putting on a play?*

The viper silently retracted his hand, the twitching of his right eyeball growing more pronounced, as if expressing his emotional fluctuations.

Li Ang completely ignored the viper, looked at the other two figures standing around the long pole, and casually asked, "And who might these two be?"

"They're also members of the organization. You don't know them, don't worry about it."

The viper shook his head, looking at Li Ang indifferently, his voice gradually turning cold. "I remember Pu Dechuan instructed you to cooperate with our work. Could it be that you want to betray us?"

Pu Dechuan, naturally, was the name of the Grand Sacrificer's superior.

Unfortunately, the viper didn't seem to know that most of that worthy gentleman was now buried at sea, feeding the fish.

"Mr. Pu certainly gave instructions, and I don't plan to betray the Datura."

Li Ang's expression turned serious as he reached out to protect the lantern, solemnly saying, "However, he didn't tell me what the contact person looked like. What if you're not the contact, but someone from the Special Affairs Bureau impersonating them?

I can't personally ruin the Datura's hopes!"

""

The viper was speechless for a while. If he wasn't afraid that a full-blown fight would have some unknown effect on the ritual, he would have used various means to directly eliminate this verbose "companion" in front of him.

He paused, and a line of text silently appeared above his head.

Displaying his player information unhurriedly.

[Millennial Black Witch Viper] [lv15]

The viper was actually a level 15 player!

Keep in mind that after killing the Earl, the Wraith, and the Gluglugu, Li Ang's experience points increased by 900, allowing him to reach level 13.

The viper's high level meant that he became a player earlier, experienced more missions, and wasn't the kind of newbie who lacked combat experience and would crumble at the first touch.

Moreover, since the Datura organization had wooed a large number of wealthy people, weaving a global network of connections and relying on that network to collect many supernatural items,

the viper, as a high-ranking member of the Datura and the final executor of this plan, would definitely have no shortage of skills, equipment, and props.

Even if Li Ang's side had the advantage in the number of players, if they really fought, they probably wouldn't gain any obvious advantage.

What's more, the other two figures present hadn't revealed their information yet.

"I am the viper."

The pale-faced man said in a low voice, "Can you trust me now?"

"Mm."

Li Ang nodded, but had no intention of handing over the lantern. "I'm still a little worried. What if you've been mind-controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau?

What if your brain has been hollowed out by the enemy, and there's a little person inside your brain using a joystick to control your behavior?"

*Where do you get so much nonsense?*

The viper resisted the urge to rebuke him, and coldly said, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, just a little curious."

Li Ang raised the lantern and said with a smile, "I managed to get here from the entrance of the Mist Realm by relying on this palace lantern, following the passage.

How did you 'steal' so many ordinary people from the Special Affairs Bureau's stronghold, and how did you bring them to the bottom of the Demon Imprisonment Cave?"

""

The viper glanced at him without speaking.

He strongly suspected the condition of this "Grand Sacrificer" in front of him.

The Datura organization attached great importance to this plan, and gave the Grand Sacrificer and the Earl the strongest equipment they could use at their level. In theory, they shouldn't have been eliminated or seriously injured by other teams.

However, the player community was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The viper had seen powerful players who could crush members of large secret organizations as lone wolves.

Whether what the other party said about "encountering mental attacks from enemy players in a deathmatch mission" was true or false, he probably couldn't be trusted anymore.

Thinking of this, the viper's heart stirred, and he slowly explained, "You want to know? Heh, it doesn't matter if I tell you.

In fact, we injected curses into all the Datura Type 1 and Type 2 drugs that we sold.

This curse can't be detected under normal circumstances. Even the Special Affairs Bureau can't detect anything unusual.

Only when the patient sees or hears specific information will the curse be triggered, turning the patient into an obvious curse carrier.

In the real world, the rational will of these patients will be replaced by the id in their subconscious, dominated by animal instincts.

These ordinary people, after being triggered by the Datura drug, already have the characteristics of demons. They can be loaded into a disposable perfect-level item called the 'Demon-Carrying Boat'.

I relied on this item to easily take away all the ordinary people under the noses of the Special Affairs Bureau.

And because these ordinary people have demonic characteristics, they are judged by the Demon Imprisonment Cave to be low-level, insignificant demons, and can directly enter the Demon Imprisonment Cave.

As for how we reached the bottom of the Demon Imprisonment Cave

Hehe, that's mainly thanks to the Kuiyang Sect.

They anticipated the departure of the Mirage Dragon hundreds of years ago, and had already set up a hidden agent, placing a demon with a special item into the Demon Imprisonment Cave, wrapping it in a cocoon to prevent it from being eroded by the Mirage Dragon's mist.

Until the time was right, the cocoon would crack open, and the special item carried by that demon would automatically trigger, serving as a teleportation anchor, directly transferring us to the bottom of the Demon Imprisonment Cave,

Do you understand"

Before the word "吗 (ma)" could be uttered, the viper suddenly erupted, his hand hidden under his black robe turning into a fist, and blasting towards Li Ang!

This plan was extremely important to the Datura. Whether the Grand Sacrificer in front of him had betrayed them or not, he had to eliminate the threat in advance.

Among the three people presiding over the ritual, two were high-ranking members of the Datura, and the other was the demon he had mentioned earlier, who had been placed in the Demon Imprisonment Cave hundreds of years ago.

The levels of these three people were much higher than that of the Grand Sacrificer, but the ritual couldn't be interrupted, and the other two couldn't take action against the enemy in order to maintain the ritual.

However, the viper alone was enough.

The fist was like thunder, the fist wind was like a hurricane, as swift as lightning, unavoidable,

In the viper's gaze, his fist directly hit Li Ang's chest.

Correspondingly, a cold and indifferent smile appeared on the viper's face, which looked like it had been swollen by water.
