After Josh finished reading the mories of the two people, he withdrew from the Dream Realm.
The five individuals still had a bewildered look on their faces, not yet recovered from the Illusion Realm.
With a swift motion, Josh killed the two NPCs.
If not, these two would join the other NPCs tomorrow, and her identity as a player would likely beco completely transparent.
Three players remained.
One was Sun Qing, another was Mina, and the last was soone she didn’t recognize.
She had just skimd through this person’s mories, and there wasn’t much there, just typical day-to-day activities of a regular contestant.
Josh looked at Sun Qing in front of her, hesitating whether to kill her or not.
Sun Qing’s strength was diocre; killing her would be a piece of cake.
Josh rubbed her chin, recalling what she saw in the mories.
In the end, she didn’t make a move.
She thought, she now knew who to seek for Susan’s blood money.
Josh entered Sun Qing’s live stream.
Sun Qing’s dream realm suddenly changed from the everyday scenes of the training base to a wedding scene.
The groom was surprisingly Xue Guo.
She looked at Xue Guo on the stage in astonishnt, her face turning red abruptly.
As everyone cheered for the bride to co on stage, Sun Qing bravely took the first step.
Suddenly, soone beside her walked up slowly—it was Susanna.
Sun Qing’s expression tensed. Why was it her?
Reluctantly, she wanted to move closer, but her body seed to be bound by sothing, unable to step forward.
"Do you really want to kill Susanna?"
A voice sounded beside her.
Sun Qing almost instinctively replied, "Of course!"
After responding, she realized sothing was wrong. She jerked her head around and saw Josh next to her.
"It’s you?! How co you’re... wait! Is this an Illusion Realm?!" Sun Qing instantly beca alert.
Josh chuckled, "Not too dumb, I see!"
She walked to Sun Qing’s side, pointing at the two people on the stage, "They’re getting together, doesn’t it make you angry? Sad?"
Sun Qing’s face turned cold, "What’s it to you?!"
Josh shrugged, "Haven’t you heard the saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Sun Qing wanted to say more.
Josh patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry. We’re in my Dream Realm. Rest assured, as long as I desire, none of the footage can capture anything inside the Dream Realm, because I can simply move my fingers, and the contents of the dream will be blocked for player privacy."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qing’s expression softened slightly, but she still remained cautious, "So what? You think saying this will make believe you?"
Josh scoffed, "Aren’t you going to first ask why I’m here?"
Sun Qing was silent for a mont, "Isn’t it just to form an alliance with to eliminate Susanna?"
Josh clapped, "Quite smart, aren’t you? So, what do you say? Team up?"
Sun Qing glanced at her.
Josh: "Don’t worry, the contents of the Dream Realm are confidential; otherwise, if the Augustine family finds out I’m openly trying to kill their daughter, I wouldn’t be able to wiggle out of it."
Sun Qing thought for a mont, it seed to make sense.
Josh wasn’t foolish, she likely wouldn’t create trouble for herself this way.
Feeling slightly more at ease, Sun Qing inquired, "How do you propose we cooperate?"
Josh: "You provide the money, I provide the effort. You hire to take Susan’s life."
Sun Qing frowned slightly, "You don’t need to make a move?"
Josh twitched his mouth, "You don’t think it requires both of us to take down that kind of scrap, do you?"
Sun Qing thought for a mont, and it seed true.
She looked at Josh, "Why are you only approaching now?"
Josh: "Because I hadn’t found a suitable person to hire until now."
Sun Qing was silent for a mont, "How much do you want?"
Josh: "I want... Original Stones, with a diater of over 30 centiters in every dinsion, 300 pieces!"
Sun Qing, hearing this, did not refuse outright but instead asked, "Why do you need so many Original Stones?"
Josh twitched her mouth, "That’s for to know."
Sun Qing replied, "Fine, as long as you do it cleanly."
Josh: "You can trust ."
Sun Qing: "I’m still skeptical, will you really partner with ?"
Josh confessed, "I wouldn’t have originally, but seeing this scene in your Illusion Realm, I realized that we’re actually friends."
She pointed at the two people embracing on the stage.
Sun Qing looked at them with a grim face, "Since it’s an Illusion Realm, dismantle it."
Josh didn’t move, "If the Illusion Realm disappears, our conversation will be broadcasted across the entire live stream."
Hearing this, Sun Qing’s gaze beca gloomier, and she turned her face away from the people on stage, "Fine."
Josh: "After we exit, you first pay a third as a deposit, and I’ll co to you for the rest once it’s done."
Sun Qing nodded, "Agreed."
The two hit it off and set their cooperation.
Josh dispersed the Dream Realm, and the three of them regained consciousness simultaneously.
Sun Qing didn’t move, while another player beside her lunged toward Josh.
With two dead NPCs on the ground, it wasn’t hard to guess who had taken action.
Josh evaded the attack and retreated to the side.
The player looked at the other two and hastily said, "Hurry, kill her! Didn’t you see her abnormalities?"
The other two remained still.
Seeing them not move, the player beca increasingly vigilant, eyes flashing with deadly intent, revealing his Spiritual Body and entering a Beastification State.
Josh adjusted her expression; this was an SS-ranked player.
It’s known that above S rank, each additional S represents a massive divide in power.
Even two or three S-ranked Spiritual Power Users might not be able to take down a single SS-ranked player.
Josh’s expression turned serious, she released her Spiritual Body, entering a Beastification State, fully prepared for battle.
The person’s Spiritual Body was a snake; in the Beastification State, his upper body remained human while his lower body turned into an enormously thick snake, coiling throughout the room, almost occupying the entire space.
Aside from Josh, Sun Qing and Mina were also forced to the side.
This was an SS-ranked player; they too didn’t dare to act recklessly.
Josh fixed her gaze on this snake, summoning a Longsword in her right hand, ready for action.
With a sneer, the person whipped his long tail towards Josh, carrying overwhelming spiritual pressure.
Josh quickly ford a seal with her left hand, infusing golden light into the Longsword, countering with the force of a lightning sword to resist the spiritual pressure.
The opponent evidently had heard of her na, knowing her weakness lay in spiritual power, hence using spiritual suppression during the attack.
If it weren’t for her unsealing her inner core over the New Year, she likely wouldn’t stand a chance.
The man was startled by the force of her counterattack, his eyes flickered with murderous intent as he charged instantly.
The two engaged in combat, continually clashing with spiritual suppression and the lightning pressure unleashed by Josh, exploding and colliding with each push.
Sun Qing and Mina were caught up in it, flung to the corner, their vision blurred from the impact.
