Chapter 1527: Chapter 497: There’s a Mole, Stop Making Babies_3

[Jackal: No way~ (laugh)]

[Li De: Then give it a try, no pressure, just pull back if you sense risk]

After that, Jackal went silent in the channel again, seemingly busy with a task

Brother Ni looked at Ruzuo

"Do you think there’s something off about Jackal?"

"What’s off?"

Ruzuo found it a bit puzzling but after thinking for a moment replied

"Maybe they’ve just been exposed to too much weird stuff, it’s normal, nobody here is normal."

Brother Ni pondered for a bit, perhaps agreeing, but then a voice unexpectedly chimed in beside his ear

"Your suspicions are correct, because the person talking to you is not Jackal."

The voice startled them both, making them feel like they’d seen a ghost, but upon closer look, they realized the connection to New Dynasty Elegance had never been disconnected

"What do you mean by that?"

Ruzuo didn’t quite understand what the other person meant, how could it not be Jackal

Could it be a ghost instead?

"Literally, don’t you check the forums?"

New Dynasty Elegance, a bit speechless, sent a screenshot to them where Jackal was chatting on a forum thread at the exact time they were conversing earlier.

This left them both bewildered

Brother Ni checked the channel avatar several times to confirm it was indeed Jackal’s account, surely he hadn’t added the wrong person

"But no, their avatar is still lit, they’re not dead, and they were even helping us with information and making fake IDs before."

Ruzuo nodded in agreement

"Yeah, yeah."

How could the system lie?

New Dynasty Elegance explained

"She got hit by an Artificial Intelligence attack, now trapped in a logical algorithm unable to escape, that’s why she’s on forums communicating with other hackers trying to break the situation, isn’t it normal she hasn’t logged out?"

"Moreover... are you certain you’re chatting within the system?"

With that, Brother Ni and Ruzuo both got goosebumps, they indeed weren’t chatting within the system.

Because Li De, an outsider NPC was there, the team wasn’t using the player channel, but rather an internal team-created local network

"Then who’s talking to us implying ’meow meow meow’? Could we have really seen a ghost?"

If a player hadn’t been able to chat using forum cheat methods, they might have truly been deceived by that ghost, even Li De the seasoned agent hadn’t sensed anything wrong.

Though, this relates to Li De barely knowing Jackal, had it been Song Zhaomei, a few words might have exposed her.

"In any case, you’re exposed."

New Dynasty Elegance sighed, this time they encountered an Artificial Intelligence possibly more troublesome than Frederick, at least the latter was traditionally tough and confrontational, not sneakily using tricks.

"I advise against telling this to Li De, who knows if that guy is still channel monitoring, best act as if nothing’s unusual, as though you know nothing."

"Let’s apply the trick, see if it can lead you into the upper layers, and extract some useful info."

"What about you?"

Ruzuo found it hard to believe really an AI could impersonate a player to deceive online

"We’re working tirelessly here, and you’re out there wandering, hurry and get over to help."

"Me?"

New Dynasty Elegance glanced at the increasingly gathering Liberation Theology followers around, charging towards the next cult stronghold

"I have tasks here as well, can’t break free."

He must use the time before the Atlanta armed forces arrive to scatter other cults, leaving them no choice but to fend him off, too busy suppressing him to deal with ICE surrounding from the edges.

And stall time, waiting for players’ airborne descent.
