Wu Wang didn’t care how uneasy Yu Mo felt.

He stomped his foot hard, his aura soaring as he lifted into the air!

At the same time, eerie cold flames flickered around him like tiny sprites, dancing up and down.

In an instant, the air seemed frozen by these flames!

With a swift motion, he raised his hand, and those fire sprites rapidly multiplied as they danced!

A flood of blazing flames surged forward, attacking the Young Man with Possession!

At the same time, Wu Wang crushed the black jar containing Yu Mo with a single kick.

The poison inside spilled everywhere, but correspondingly, Yu Mo was freed from confinement.

Wu Wang snapped at him in a voice filled with the tone of Guiwen:

“Stop standing there like an idiot! Come help!!”

Yu Mo couldn’t help but be stunned!

That black jar his brother had…

Wasn’t it supposed to be made of special materials, indestructible?!

How could it be smashed by a single kick from Guiwen??

Something was definitely off!

But no matter what he thought, he didn’t dare show any weakness and immediately joined the fight.

And of course, the one he had to help was Guiwen, which was Wu Wang.

After all, Yu Mo had been nested by the Nesting Inner Demons; a single thought from Guiwen could kill him.

That was exactly why he had to put on a show.

However…

Yu Mo didn’t expect that just as he was about to fake his way through fighting his cousin,

His cousin waved his hand, easily extinguishing the cold fire sprites, then grabbed Yu Mo’s collar with a domineering posture and casual tone:

“Come over here, you’re on my side, not theirs.”

???

Yu Mo was utterly confused.

When dragged beside Jiang Ye, his brain almost crashed!

Fortunately, Jiang Ye slapped his shoulder with an imposing look and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve sealed his glyph pattern ability.”

“Right now, he can no longer use Nesting Inner Demons to control your life and death.”

“If you don’t believe me…”

Jiang Ye casually took a Raven Feather and absorbed Yu Mo’s glyph pattern ability into it.

At that moment, a chill ran down Yu Mo’s spine!

Losing his glyph pattern ability felt like his soul was being annihilated!

On the other side, Wu Wang, watching this, was even more shocked and trembling!

Guiwen actually had a method to extract others’ glyph pattern abilities!

Such an insanely powerful skill—he had never seen Guiwen use it before!

This old bastard was truly patient!

How many secrets did he and Yu Mo not know?

Wu Wang deeply regretted his carelessness!

After recovering from the instinctive panic of losing his glyph pattern ability, Yu Mo was overjoyed!

He was equally shocked, staring wide-eyed at the feather in Jiang Ye’s hand, exclaiming: “Holy crap!”

“Brother, why didn’t you tell me you had such a badass tool!”

“If I’d known you were so powerful, why bother pretending all this time!”

“Hahaha! The truth’s out! No more pretending! I’ve hated you for a long time!”

That “hated” was naturally directed at Guiwen.

Yu Mo immediately turned and glared at Wu Wang, arrogantly shouting without restraint:

“You don’t seriously think that giving me a tiny benefit means I owe you gratitude, do you?”

“Damn it, suppressing my will, occupying my body… Don’t think I don’t know you helped me reincarnate, helped me join the Hundred Ghosts Alliance, just to more easily use my body to work for you!”

“Who the hell wants to be a Reincarnation Ghost? I’ve wanted to leave this damn place ages ago and go storm the Doomsday Apartment as a monster player!”

“It’s you! You’re the one blocking my progress!”

“You? You deserve my gratitude? I spit on you! Scumbag!”

“…”

It was clear Yu Mo harbored deep resentment toward Guiwen.

Now that the threat of death was lifted, all the pent-up grudges and anger poured out in a flood.

Wu Wang, being cursed at with his nose pointed at by Yu Mo, was momentarily at a loss for words…

Mainly because deep down he silently mourned: this guy was probably hopeless…

Because of his odd reaction, Yu Mo gradually regained clarity.

He furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but say to Jiang Ye beside him:

“Brother, I just feel like something’s off…”

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow: “What’s off?”

Yu Mo furrowed even more: “I can’t quite say what exactly…”

“But brother, I think you should quickly contact the Guiwen Master and your dad. Let’s immediately snatch Guiwen’s identity and glyph pattern ability to prevent any surprises.”

Jiang Ye nodded in full agreement: “Yeah. That makes sense.”

Still, he didn’t make a move yet.

Wu Wang snapped back to himself and angrily shouted toward Yu Mo:

“Hah! You traitorous bastard!”

“You’re so sure that after transferring the glyph pattern ability, the Nesting Inner Demons would transfer too?”

“Aren’t you afraid your brother tricked you?”

“If the Nesting Inner Demons disappear after the glyph pattern transfer, you’re definitely dead!”

This accusation made Yu Mo’s expression flicker with stiffness.

But he stubbornly retorted, mimicking the Young Man with Possession’s tone, coldly snorting:

“Hah! And you still call yourself the mighty Eternal Witch Guiwen! You must know how strong the Guiwen Master is, right?”

“With him involved, the Nesting Inner Demons can definitely transfer with the glyph pattern ability!”

“Give it up! I don’t regret betraying you!”

“Besides, it’s not even betrayal!”

“You’ve always been manipulating and using me!”

“I’m just finding a way out, a broad road to survival!”

“A way out? A broad road? Hahaha!” Wu Wang burst into laughter.

His laughter was too genuine, not an act.

Suddenly, he flashed forward and stood before Yu Mo.

The next second, he grabbed Yu Mo’s collar and tore open his shirt!

One hand clamped his neck, the other pressed on his heart, coldly sneering:

“So this is your way out, your broad road to survival?”

Even Jiang Ye didn’t expect this reaction.

He glanced at Yu Mo’s chest and saw a small red dot at the heart’s location.

It wasn’t obvious to the naked eye, maybe just a red mole at a glance.

But now it seemed otherwise.

Wu Wang then explained the origin of this red mole.

He tapped it with a fingertip and coldly snorted: “If I’m not mistaken…”

“This should be a mark shared by members of the Heavenly Net organization!”

“Soon, or when you invade players and change from Reincarnation Ghost to monster player…”

“Blood-colored patterns will grow from this spot on your chest… just like your brother!”

Wu Wang spoke with absolute certainty.

Yu Mo’s terrified and stiff expression seemed to confirm Wu Wang’s words.

Jiang Ye raised his brow, then casually severed Wu Wang’s hand gripping Yu Mo’s neck.

Yu Mo gasped for breath, recovering his breath.

But soon after, he cursed Wu Wang again:

“So what if I grow blood-colored patterns like my brother?”

“My brother’s strength can crush ten of you with ease!”

“And once I join Heavenly Net… I’ll be as strong as him!”

He then looked at Jiang Ye, tone slightly pleading: “Brother! Don’t worry, I believe you!”

“No matter what that bastard says, I won’t be fooled!”

“Tsk tsk.” Jiang Ye smiled.

That light, easy smile gave Yu Mo an inexplicable chill.

That chill was like a cold, damp snake slithering up from his tailbone along his spine—

A spine-tingling coldness.

At that moment, Yu Mo’s flattering, pleading expression froze on his face.

The next second, Jiang Ye raised his hand and gently grabbed his neck, smiling even more warmly:

“But my dear little brother…”

“I think what you just shouted at Guiwen was spot on.”

“What a damn Guiwen, controlling your freedom and expecting your gratitude…”

“Look at you, betraying Guiwen the first chance you get.”

“Oh no, according to you, you’re just finding a way out for yourself…”

“So dear, if you find an even better way out in the future, would you betray me too?”

“No… I… won’t…” Yu Mo’s eyes widened as Jiang Ye squeezed his neck, struggling to choke out the words.

Jiang Ye loosened his grip and released him.

Yu Mo collapsed to the ground, trembling as he clung to Jiang Ye’s leg.

His eyes showed terror but his tone was sincerely earnest: “Brother! You’re my real brother!”

“Your control over me isn’t control! You’re saving me!”

“Brother, I can tell! Your feelings for me are genuine! That damn Guiwen…”

Yu Mo’s voice suddenly stopped.

His whole body seemed paused.

Because the leg he was clutching suddenly felt stiff…

And the cousin he was hugging suddenly turned into a wooden puppet!

The wooden puppet’s mouth didn’t move.

But inside, the voice of the former Eternal Witch Guiwen talking to Yu Mo could be heard:

“What’s wrong with that damn Guiwen? Keep talking, don’t stop :)”

“…”

Yu Mo’s eyes nearly exploded with shock!

He froze again!

His entire brain completely crashed.

At this moment, he couldn’t figure out—

This puppet making Guiwen’s voice…

Was it really Guiwen, or… his brother?

Yes, Yu Mo now suspected that his brother had turned into Guiwen’s form to test his loyalty.

So now, he absolutely could not act like a fence-sitter and side back with Guiwen…

Right!

That Guiwen was his brother’s disguise for testing loyalty!

Actually, Yu Mo already felt something was wrong deep down.

A very bad premonition pressed on his heart…

But at this moment, overwhelming fear made him cling to the “cling tightly to cousin’s leg” idea, going all the way.

Yu Mo swallowed hard and spoke with a broken voice, almost unrecognizable:

“Hah… Brother… don’t joke with me…”

“My loyalty to you is real, it won’t change…”

“Oh yeah?” Jiang Ye laughed again.

However, the wooden puppet couldn’t really smile.

So he flashed his mind and took over Wu Wang’s body.

The wooden puppet immediately collapsed.

Nearby, Wu Wang slowly walked over.

With a casual kick, he stepped on the wooden puppet.

At that moment, Guiwen’s voice emerged again from Wu Wang’s body.

The expression on “Wu Wang’s” face matched his voice—a warm, gentle smile that felt like spring breeze:

“How about this? Does your loyalty still stand?”

He crushed the puppet beneath his foot.

Just as Yu Mo’s mind spun, collapsing like Wu Wang before, feeling like the sky was falling and all was lost,

Jiang Ye suddenly burst into laughter and said to Yu Mo:

“Are you stupid? I was joking with you!”

“Relax! Guiwen is dead! The glyph pattern ability and authority have all transferred to me!”

“Even the Nesting Inner Demons’ Wu Wang and you have successfully transferred!”

“The Eternal Witch Guiwen now is me, your brother!”

“How about that, silly little brother!”

Jiang Ye laughed heartily while patting Yu Mo’s face, continuing: “Surprised? Excited? Happy?”

“…”

Yu Mo was completely confused!

What?

What the hell?

Wait, let me sort this out…

He hesitated, called out “Brother” again, then swallowed nervously:

“You mean…”

“Brother, you’re already Guiwen…”

“The original Guiwen is dead; the glyph pattern ability, authority, and Nesting Inner Demons targets all belong to you now…”

“And just now, the real Wu Wang was pretending to be fake Guiwen, helping you mess with me?”

“Hah,” Jiang Ye laughed, “That’s my little brother, so smart!”

“…”

Yu Mo’s confusion only deepened.

What?

Me?

My brother??

Who is my brother?

Who am I??

Intense fear scrambled Yu Mo’s mind.

He didn’t dare say more or doubt “brother’s” words.

He could only awkwardly keep calling him brother.

“Heh, hehe, haha…”

He forced a dry laugh, trembling voice praising: “Bro… bro, you’re amazing…”

Wu Wang didn’t care what Yu Mo thought.

He patted Yu Mo’s shoulder and smiled:

“Alright, later I’ll have Little Wang take you to invade a player, so you can change from Reincarnation Ghost to monster player.”

“Brother has no physical body now and needs a body with blood-colored patterns for convenience.”

Yu Mo nodded dazedly, still trapped in chaotic confusion.

After a moment, he noticed Wu Wang’s expression shift slightly.

Wu Wang’s gaze swept over the broken puppet on the ground, then looked at Yu Mo, somewhat surprised:

“Tsk tsk, you’re still alive?”

Yu Mo swallowed his trembling throat: “Why wouldn’t I be alive? That’s my real brother!”

Wu Wang: ???

What? Brother? You still think he’s your brother??

Yu Mo didn’t dare think further and stiffly said: “My brother told you to take me to invade a player. He wants to see what I look like when covered in blood-colored patterns…”

“Oh.” Wu Wang was at a loss for words.

Though Guiwen was gone and not dealing with him and Yu Mo now, both carried Nesting Inner Demons.

For Guiwen to kill them was just a thought away.

So Wu Wang wasn’t happy either and could only follow Yu Mo’s lead and take him to invade a player…

Meanwhile, one of Jiang Ye’s discarded clones followed Administrator 0000 into an unexplored ancient tomb within the Soul Resting Mound.

At the same time, inside the red-lit elevator of Apartment 9999, Jiang Ye’s Number 2 clone was surprised to discover—

After pressing the sequence 3, 6, 7, 9, 23, 26, 50,

The “Safe Exit” seen from Zhou Qiming’s perspective appeared again inside the red-lit elevator!
