341: Chapter 341 My name is Jiang!

The Faceless Man still stood quietly in place, his dead fish eyes beneath the mask showing no ripples, merely watching coldly as the young girl who had suddenly become talkative.

Captain Ji Xiaoyun, however, did not care about his aloofness at all. She rubbed her chin and began to analyze to herself:

"And you used a space-type Supernatural Ability, right? To be able to independently strip away this area, this must be at least an SS-grade space talent! No, it might even be the legendary SSS-grade talent!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her large eyes sparkling with bright light:

"I know! Are you a descendant of one of those reclusive families? Or do you usually like to play the 'playing the pig to eat the tiger' game?"

"Don't worry!"

Captain Ji Xiaoyun heroically patted her heaving chest, guaranteeing with an "I am very loyal" expression:

"Getting robbed by you this time is because my skills are inferior; I admit defeat!"

"After I go out, I definitely won't complain about you to the Organizing Committee! Just satisfy my curiosity and tell me who you really are, okay?"

"Do you really intend to keep wearing this ugly mask and be a nobody for the rest of your life?"

At this moment, inside Jiang You's internal world.

The organs, which had originally been immersed in the joy of counting stolen goods, collectively fell into a daze.

[Brain]'s hand, which was pushing up its glasses, stopped in mid-air. Looking at the young girl outside who was chirping incessantly like a lark, it was a bit stunned.

"This little girl... why does she have so much to say?"

"Wasn't she crying in fear just a moment ago? Why has she suddenly started interrogating us? Are the psychological qualities of young people these days this tough?"

[Kidneys (scratching its head on the side)]: "Brother Brain, what should we do?"

"She doesn't seem to be afraid of us anymore. Should we act fierce to make her shut up?"

[Right Hand] rarely didn't lose its temper; instead, it rubbed its fingers with some appreciation:

"Forget it, forget it. Although this girl talks a bit too much, her personality is quite to my liking."

"We took her money, and she didn't cry or scream about finding her parents, and even said she would keep our secret. She counts as a sensible fat sheep."

[Brain (weighing it for a moment)]: "Since the transaction is already complete, there is no need to waste any more time."

"There are still a large number of fat sheep outside waiting for us to harvest. Send her out of the game."

In the dark space outside.

Captain Ji Xiaoyun was still blinking her eyes, waiting for an answer.

The Faceless Man, who had been silent like a statue, finally slowly raised his hand.

He extended a slender, pale finger and tapped it gently in the direction of Captain Ji Xiaoyun.

Captain Ji Xiaoyun instinctively wanted to dodge, but the surrounding space was completely locked in an instant. She could only watch helplessly as that finger landed squarely in the center of her forehead.

A cold sensation came through.

Beneath the mask, that mechanical voice without the slightest fluctuation echoed extremely calmly in the space, yet it carried a mystery that one could not ignore:

"My name is, Jiang."

The moment the words fell.

Captain Ji Xiaoyun hadn't even had time to chew on the meaning of this single character.

The darkness beneath her feet suddenly rioted, and the boundless ink-colored Qi cloud, like a ferocious beast opening its abyss-like mouth, instantly swallowed her whole!

"Ah!"

The short exclamation had just sounded, only to come to an abrupt end.

The dark space returned to deathly silence once again, as if Captain Ji Xiaoyun had never appeared there at all.

The Faceless Man slowly withdrew his finger, his gaze beneath the mask cast toward the deeper reaches of the darkness.

There, countless top-tier geniuses with fat sheep halos above their heads were waiting for his "visit."

...

Meanwhile. Outside Forbidden Zone No. 009, on the vast flat plaza of the National Martial Arts Competition Center.

Logistics personnel from various universities, high-level officials from the Organizing Committee, and fully armed medical teams were anxiously gathered near the exit.

Ever since that student from a small academy brought out the shocking intelligence that "the teleportation jade token is invalid" and "the Faceless Man has taken over the secret realm," the atmosphere of the entire plaza had dropped to freezing point.

President Xia Yun, Principal Pang Ban, and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, constantly urging the array masters to forcibly break the light gate, but they had gained nothing.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end. "Hum—!" The reception array in the center of the plaza suddenly erupted with a violent spatial fluctuation!

A brilliant white light shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding dim air brightly.

"There's movement!" "Look! The teleportation array has lit up!"

The surrounding staff and medical personnel were greatly encouraged, and they all rushed up with stretchers and emergency equipment.

The white light dissipated. Captain Ji Xiaoyun only felt a dizzying sensation of the world spinning, and her Legs went soft, causing her to fall directly onto the cold marble floor tiles.

She opened her eyes in a daze. There was no dark and eerie black mist space, and certainly no terrifying man wearing the Faceless Man mask.

What met her eyes were the blinding arena searchlights and a large group of staff members in white coats, all looking anxious.

"Quick! Notify the Organizing Committee!" A sharp-eyed medical team leader confirmed Captain Ji Xiaoyun's identity and immediately shouted into the communicator: "Another contestant has been teleported out! It's the second team captain of Nanhai Academy, Captain Ji Xiaoyun!"

...

When the staff on the plaza confirmed Captain Ji Xiaoyun's identity and shouted into the communicator. The line of sight passed through layers of spatial barriers and returned to the rocky canyon deep within Forbidden Zone No. 009.

The air here seemed to have been poured with heavy mercury, so oppressive that it made people unable to breathe.

A full twenty minutes had passed since Captain Ji Xiaoyun's mysterious disappearance.

More than fifty top-tier geniuses from Great Xia's top universities were currently surrounded in a circle, layer upon layer, like an iron barrel.

Everyone was gripping their weapons tightly, their blood surging, eyes staring fixedly at the surrounding dark woods and strangely shaped boulders.

A gentle breeze blew, rolling up a few withered yellow leaves on the ground, making a faint "rustling" sound.

Even just this little movement was enough to make several nervous contestants suddenly raise the blades in their hands, aiming at that direction as if facing a great enemy.

And in the very center of the encirclement, Gu Changfeng was still sitting cross-legged, safe and sound, inside that absolute defense barrier emitting a soft white light.

He had been a bit nervous at first, but watching these people outside guarding against the air as if it were a thief, holding their weapons and standing in a military posture for nearly twenty minutes, he even yawned out of boredom.

"Are these guys playing some kind of 'Red Light, Green Light' game?" Gu Changfeng propped up his chin, feeling nothing but boredom while hiding inside the protective shield.

Time passed minute by minute. People are easily exhausted when in a state of high tension.

Especially this group of main forces from prestigious schools who were usually high and mighty and arrogant; where had they ever suffered the grievance of being scared into standing still without even seeing the shadow of an enemy?

The emotion of panic, in the long silence, gradually fermented into an uncontrollable irritability.
