148 Dispelling Doubts (2)

“But I didn’t expect that a single decision would cause me so much trouble.”

Hearing this, the old Celestial Master still didn’t understand why Zhang Zizai became like this. He was just a guild master in the game. How could he let the distracting thoughts in his heart be so powerful that they could affect reality?

However, although he was filled with doubts now, the old Celestial Master did not interrupt Zhang Zizai. After all, he was about to start explaining the specific reason. He did not lack these few minutes.

When Zhang Zizai finished speaking, he would probably be able to blow away the lingering fog in his mind.

“When our guild members were destroying the enemy guild members, our guild master stopped the actions of his subordinates joining the battle. Then, he didn’t treat me as an outsider at all and explained the reason to his team members. They seem to have a plan, and that plan is very huge. It even concerns the life and death of the entire human race.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the old Celestial Master’s eyes instantly widened with excitement. He didn’t even care about the pain of dozens of white beards being torn off and asked Zhang Zizai in shock. “What did you say! Aren’t you just playing games? How can this concern the safety of all humans?! Did you hear wrongly? They’re talking about things in the game, not the real world! You have to know the difference between these two words. It’s not a joke!”

Facing the old Celestial Master’s questions, Zhang Zizai shook his head firmly. “I can guarantee that I didn’t hear wrongly. They didn’t avoid me when they said these things. I heard them clearly.”

Seeing that Zhang Zizai was so sure, the old Celestial Master no longer looked as casual as before and anxiously asked what else he had said. After all, this kind of thing was too shocking. Once it was proven to be the truth, the consequences would be unimaginable. “Did they say anything else?”

Facing the old Celestial Master’s question, Zhang Zizai told him all the information he had heard. “According to what they said, their plan is very large and has a very clear purpose. Once the plan begins, even if there’s only one person left, they have to complete it.

“The gaming guild they’re forming now is collecting the seeds to complete the early plan. Moreover, the guild master even warned the members of his team. When choosing seeds, they have to keep their eyes open. Don’t pick bad seedlings. Moreover, that guild master said that I am an extremely upright seed.

“According to them, they should be referring to people who might betray the human race. I definitely won’t betray the human race.

“Then, when his team members asked him why he trusted me so much and wouldn’t betray the human race, the guild master directly told his team members that I had done something that only existed in their oath.”

At this point, the old Celestial Master seemed to have a clue, but he was still lacking a lot of key information that connected everything. “Did they say what you did?” The old Celestial Master asked Zhang Zizai thoughtfully if he had continued to explain anything.

“The guild master didn’t continue talking about what I did. Instead, he made an explosive gesture and mouthed the word ‘boom’. After the guild master finished these two actions, the way his team members looked at me changed. They became filled with agreement, surprise, and even a hint of respect.

“That gaze made me feel very uncomfortable. After the guild master finished those two actions, it was as if they treated me as someone they could rely on for life and death and could entrust their lives to me at any time.

“Master, you know me. The moment I encountered such a situation, I wanted to escape, so I blurted out a nonsensical reason. I actually said that I was going offline to eat. No matter who I tell, they won’t believe me, so I quickly prepared to explain.

“But I didn’t expect the guild master to believe my nonsense. He even said not to make you wait. This feeling of being trusted unconditionally made me very uncomfortable, so I chose to escape.

“Just before I went offline, the other party seemed to be very sure that I would go back to look for them. He said that he would be waiting for me to go back and ask about all the secrets I wanted to know.

“After going offline, on the one hand, I want to go back and ask why, but on the other hand, I really don’t want to care about those troublesome things. Under these two contradictory mentalities, it’s useless even if I chant the Meditation Mantra. Instead, it reversed my qi and blood and almost seriously injured my internal organs.

“The strangest thing is that you know that my sixth sense is very accurate. When I listened to the guild master talk to his teammates, it kept reminding me that what the guild master and the others said was true.

“If I don’t participate, I’ll definitely regret it for the rest of my life in the near future. When you scolded me just now, Master, my sixth sense also reminded me that you will definitely die tragically in front of me in the near future. That’s why I was very afraid and didn’t reply to you immediately.”

The old Celestial Master, who knew how accurate his disciple’s sixth sense was, was in a mess. After he finished speaking, the puzzle in his mind filled most of the gaps, but it was still missing the most critical parts. “Zizai, think about it. They didn’t avoid your conversation. Is there really no other information?”

Although he didn’t know why his master asked this, Zhang Zizai still frowned and carefully recalled their conversation. “The information they’re talking about is probably what I just said. However, there’s something strange. I still don’t understand what they mean.”

As soon as he said this, the old Celestial Master suddenly had a strong premonition. This thing that Zhang Zizai didn’t understand was the answer to all the mysteries. “Hurry up and tell me what’s strange. I’ll see if I can understand what they’re talking about!”

Seeing that his master was so anxious, Zhang Zizai frowned and told him what he couldn’t understand. “Our guild master said that their plan concerns the safety of more than a billion humans. Once anything goes wrong, something dangerous will definitely happen again.

“At that time, something will torture us humans even more cruelly than our guild master knows after encountering our intense resistance. They even said that the five of them are carrying too much. If anything goes wrong, the human race will fall into endless hell again.

“These are the things I don’t understand. I don’t know why the guild master would say that.”
