"That ans Entity 303 was absorbed into the ga…"
But this possibility is just too absurd.
However, the facts seem to be laid out in front of them—Mo jing's rental house's scene, coupled with his sudden loss of contact.
The facts seem to be step by step verifying this absurd possibility.
Apart from this absurd matter, Old Wu also couldn't figure out one other point, which is his apprentice.
From his records, although he connected to the ga, it wasn't a complete connection. The entire neuron system was in a floating state. Many of his actions were actually subconscious behaviors.
For example, the first ti he encountered Entity 303, it was his subconscious that scanned Entity 303.
Then the later action of pulling out a huge salted fish out of thin air was also a subconscious behavior.
It was precisely because of this state of the Rookie that Entity 303 couldn't kick him out of the ga.
What shocked Old Wu the most was undoubtedly the scene of the Rookie pulling out the huge salted fish. That was clearly sothing only possible by modifying ga code, sothing that must be done in the database.
But the Rookie could easily achieve it in the ga through subconsciousness…
At this mont, Old Wu was a bit confused.
For a mont, he couldn't even decide which of these two things was more outrageous…
Thinking of this, Old Wu organized the matter into a folder, then placed the Rookie's ga record inside the folder as well.
Afterward, he sent the folder to Notch.
This ti, Old Wu was smarter. The higher-ups were completely clueless about data matters.
Even if Old Wu told them about this, they probably wouldn't believe it. Even if they did believe it, they wouldn't know how to respond.
Old Wu simply bypassed them and directly inford Notch.
As the creator of the ga, Notch naturally understood data programming better than those higher-ups.

At this mont, in a certain village within the ga world.
The players from Mist Guild had just swept through a village.
After tying up several villagers, they started heading back to their guild base.
"Will this village respawn? I rember this area didn't have a village before, right?"
"Maybe. Who cares? Isn't it good if it respawns?"
"If I'd known, we should've demolished that village. Maybe it would respawn again!"
The players from Mist Guild were chatting as they traveled.
This village was an accidental discovery for them. They'd been to this area many tis before and had never seen a village, but unexpectedly, one spawned today.
Everything about the village seed normal, so the players didn't think much of it.
After looting the resources and taking the villagers, they returned to their guild base.
But not long after they got back, HIM unexpectedly appeared at their guild base.
With the sounds of explosions ringing out, the fate of the guild players was predictable.
And they had no idea it was the sudden appearance of that village that exposed their location.

After learning the news about Entity 303 and the Rookie, Xu Yuan didn't dare to slack off.
During the cooldown period for controlling infected, Xu Yuan wasn't idle either.
He kept using clones to traverse different areas, searching for player guild bases.
However, the results were minimal.
During the cooldown period, finding one or two guild bases was already considered a lot.
The speed was just too slow.
But Xu Yuan thought of a good thod to deal with this.
Since he couldn't find the players, why not let the players find him?
After the ga update, the only quick way for players to develop was through villager trading. The major guilds would undoubtedly look for villages and capture villagers to boost developnt.
Xu Yuan only needed to build so villages in various places, then capture so villagers, let them breed, and put them in these villages. Then he could wait for the players to co to him.
Recently, Xu Yuan had been implenting this plan. In many places, "fake" villages built by Xu Yuan had already appeared.
Xu Yuan had his clones hidden around these villages.
As soon as players entered, the clones would track them to their guild bases and infect them.
To gain more faith points, Xu Yuan was racking his brains.
———
Xu Yuan had just finished infecting the players from Mist Guild when he saw through the vision of a clone near the shallows that Null had returned.
"Where is he?"
Null had gone out to look for Entity 303, and Xu Yuan hadn't expected him to return so soon.
But Null shook his head and frowned.
"I don't know why, but his presence suddenly disappeared…"
Null was utterly exhausted from tracking Entity 303. Initially, Null could sense Entity 303's presence.
He hadn't gone far, still near the Eternal Guild base.
But when Null went back to check, he found Entity 303's presence had gone underground.
Null hurriedly followed. However, he discovered that underground, there was a void.
That void belonged to the sa one Xu Yuan had taken him to before.
The powerful aura within was even stronger than before. Null dared not step inside, so he stayed underground, waiting.
After a long wait, he still hadn't seen Entity 303 erge. Although he didn't see Entity 303, he could still sense his presence.
After what seed like forever, Entity 303's presence suddenly vanished.
Although Null knew the void held powerful beings, he could confirm Entity 303 wasn't dead.
Rather than saying his presence disappeared, it would be better to say it was concealed. It had fused with this world's aura, making it harder to detect.
After sensing this, Null quickly returned to report to Xu Yuan.
Upon hearing Null's description, Xu Yuan furrowed his brows.
That void held far too many secrets.
Although Xu Yuan didn't know exactly what happened to Entity 303, one thing was certain: sothing must have happened in the void to cause his presence to vanish.
Xu Yuan is bound to have a great battle with Entity 303. If nothing unexpected happens, Entity 303 will also be subdued by Xu Yuan. At that ti, Xu Yuan will gain more information about the void.
Since Null currently cannot find Entity 303's aura, Xu Yuan has no way to force it.
This battle will definitely happen; as for when it will begin, Xu Yuan cannot decide for now.
"Forget it, if it can't be found, then so be it."
Seeing that Xu Yuan seed a bit disappointed, Null thought for a mont and then said, "My king..."
"Do you still rember the ancient aura I ntioned before?"
Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan nodded and said, "What about it?"
Seeing this, Null said, "That aura has beco much stronger! It seems like it has been continuously absorbing power! And, I feel that its source of power is the sa as mine!"
Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
"The sa source of power as yours?"
Null's source of power is the power of fear. That ans this ancient aura also gains its strength through the fear of others.
Thinking of this, an image of a purple seaweed-like skeleton flashed through Xu Yuan's mind.
'Could it be the Dread Lord?...'
HIM's four subordinates are the Death Knight, Null, Entity 303, and the Dread Lord.
The first three have already appeared in this world.
Xu Yuan had been wondering why the Dread Lord had not shown up yet.
Unexpectedly, the ancient aura sensed by Null from the void earlier was the Dread Lord.
However, Xu Yuan couldn't be entirely certain. Logically speaking, the Dread Lord should belong to the Wither Clan.
Why would there be an aura originating from the void?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan also felt a bit of a headache. His understanding of this world was still too limited.
Fortunately, Null was there, able to sense many things that Xu Yuan couldn't detect.
Although the void is indeed very mysterious, for now, it doesn't seem like an unsolvable mystery.
Looking at things now, many elents around Xu Yuan have already beco connected to the void.
