Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Chapter 40 World 1: Capture the escaped villain 40

"However, I don't have the exact location of the jade box, and I can't locate it so close to the jade box like Murong Yue~" Lin Yi added with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, spreading his hands down, feeling sorry for the situation.

Shi Qi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I'll go back and research where the jade box of the ancient temple is in their Sutra Pavilion. If it doesn't work, I can just teleport to the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion of the ancient temple."

Lin Yi asked curiously: "Then host, are we going to watch how Murong Yue takes the jade box here?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "No, I'll go back and check first! I've been away for a while, and I'm afraid Luo Chen won't be able to find me and will do something bad and spread the news of my disappearance." Shi Qi frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yi immediately suggested: "Then let's go. Should we use the teleportation array to go back directly?"

Shi Qi nodded and said affirmatively: "Okay, hurry up and let me experience the teleportation array as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qi's figure disappeared in a burst of light and was sent back to the inn by the teleportation array.

Murong Yue recovered from the dizziness caused by the teleportation array. She suppressed the feeling of nausea. System 623 promptly put an invisibility cloak on her and handed her a pill to relieve the dizziness.

Murong Yue took the pill, thanked System 623, then quickly swallowed the pill, and her complexion gradually improved.

"This teleportation array makes me feel so uncomfortable. Where am I now?" Murong Yue rubbed his temple and asked softly.

The voice of System 623 sounded in her mind, with a hint of relief: "This teleportation array is used by the immortal world. Mine is a weakened version. Before it was weakened, you couldn't use it at all. However, this thing is also very good! Dear host, we are now near the jade box."

Murong Yue's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "That's good, where is the jade box?"

System 623 said with a hint of excitement: "The jade box is in the cave ahead, host, go take a look!"

When Murong Yue heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She walked quickly into the cave, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the jade box placed on the jade stone. Her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"Is that the jade box?" she asked System 623 in surprise.

System 623 confirmed: "Yes, host, you point the ring at the jade box, and then you can get the jade box."

Murong Yue followed the instructions of System 623 and pointed the ring on her hand at the jade box. A flash of light passed by, and the fake jade box that Shi Qi had placed appeared in her hand.

Murong Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise, then smiled with satisfaction.

Murong Yue held the jade box happily and prepared to leave the cave.

At the same time, Shi Qi, who had returned to the inn, was watching Murong Yue's situation through the light screen. Looking at the scene in front of her, she hurriedly asked Lin Yi, "What's going on? How could Murong Yue have a replica ring? This replica ring is not available in the system mall. I needed this thing at the time, so I added it to your system mall. How did Murong Yue's system get this thing?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned and quickly searched for information in his mind. Then he shook his head and said in confusion: "This is indeed a mystery. In theory, other systems should not be able to add mall items independently except us, especially this kind of replica ring with special functions. Unless..."

Shi Qi asked: "Unless what?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and guessed, "Unless there is a higher-level being behind Murong Yue's system, or her system is connected to an unknown force and has obtained additional resources or permissions. But this situation is extremely rare. After all, the independence and security of the system are the cornerstones."

A trace of solemnity flashed across Shi Qi's eyes. She tapped the table lightly, thinking about countermeasures: "If this is true, then our actions may have been noticed. We have to speed up, but also be more careful and not expose too much."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement and suggested, "Perhaps we can try to track the source of Murong Yue's system to see if we can find some clues. In addition, we must also strengthen our own security defenses to prevent infiltration by unknown forces."

Shi Qi nodded, and then ordered: "Okay, you go and make arrangements immediately. I want to know all the information behind Murong Yue's system. At the same time, strengthen the protection measures of the inn to ensure our safety. As for me, I will continue to observe Murong Yue's movements and see what she will do next."

After Shi Qi said this, an accident happened to Murong Yue. The jade box copied by Murong Yue's copy ring only made a sound at the moment it was put on the jade box, and then stopped making any sound.

The noise attracted the attention of the woman in white. She had not yet found a reason for the mistake that had just occurred, so this time the jade box stopped making any sound.

The woman in white immediately ran into the cave and walked straight to the jade base. Seeing that the jade box was still there, she said to herself in confusion, "The jade box is still here, why is there no sound?"

The woman in white frowned and stared at the jade box lying quietly on the jade pedestal, her doubts growing. She reached out and gently touched the jade box, the touch from her fingertips was cold and real, confirming that it had not been moved or replaced.

"Strange, is this jade box real?" The woman in white murmured to herself, "But why is there no sound? The jade box has been making sounds for such a long time since it came here. Even if other people can't hear it sometimes, I can always hear it."

Murong Yue hid in the dark wearing an invisible cloak, her heart beating like a drum, fearing that her breathing would reveal her whereabouts. She tightly grasped the replica ring, secretly glad that her plan seemed to be going quite smoothly. But at the same time, she also realized that facing such a mysterious opponent, she must be more cautious.

"Perhaps, something is covering up the singing of the jade box." The woman in white muttered to herself, her voice soft but with a majesty that could not be ignored. She looked around, trying to catch the fleeting sense of abnormality, but except for the soft light emitted by the night pearl on the cave wall, everything seemed so calm and peaceful.

At this moment, a breeze blew past, moving the light curtains in the cave, and it seemed to take away the tense atmosphere. The woman in white sighed softly, as if she had put aside her doubts and prepared to leave.

"Huh~" Murong Yue breathed a sigh of relief in the dark, secretly feeling lucky. She carefully adjusted her breathing, preparing to take this opportunity to quietly evacuate. However, just as she was about to take a step, a gentle and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Come out, I know you are here."
