In fact, before entering the god’s tomb vault, Luo Jian had met with Clown.

Clown acted very fast. Luo Jian had just arrived at the gate of the god’s tomb vault, and coincidentally, Clown had just exited from it. As soon as he came out, the two people huddled together for a discussion for some time. Clown had used the props Luo Jian had given him to torture the NPC in the god’s tomb vault.

“There’s a team that has already entered and started to fight with the NPC. It’s very chaotic now. I took the opportunity to run out to report this message to you. I didn’t expect that you had already arrived.”

Luo Jian naturally asked, “What did you get out of the NPC’s mouth?”

Clown replied honestly, “The exit of this secret chamber is under the huge tree in the god’s tomb vault. There is a cave under the roots of that tree. If you enter the cave, it will lead you to the insides of the huge tree trunk. Afterwards, you can go up the natural ladder inside the tree trunk, and you can get out of the chamber.”

However, if we want to enter the cave under the tree roots, we must first activate some mechanisms, so we need to kill the NPC first and get the jade pendant from the NPC. But there are two jade pendants, one on the god and one on the ghost.”

In passing, I would like to add that there is a misleading map in the secret chamber. This map is fake and will send players into the underground river that has no exit...”

Luo Jian made a stop sign, “Enough, I know enough. The ghost’s jade pendant is in my hands.”

Clown looked at Luo Jian in surprise. “Looks like you’re quite efficient.”

“It’s as easy as blowing dust,” Luo Jian said, “I seized it in passing from the body of the player who was almost killed by you previously.”

“Therefore, the next step we should carry out is to kill the NPC, ‘God.’” Clown rubbed his hands and seemed eager to try doing it.

However, Luo Jian shook his head and said, “Hush. We can let others do that, and we can sit back and take advantage of the benefits of fishing.”

After the discussion, Luo Jian separated from Clown. Clown slipped into the tomb of the god again to inquire about the current situation while Luo Jian waited for a long time after Clown went in.

Therefore, what happened after was that he was swallowed by the flower bud. After coming out of the flower bud, he saw Ah Lan.

Sometimes it was not the original intention of Luo Jian to control a person, but unknowingly, it had become instinctive to do so.

Of course, he seldom controlled others to do something that the other party did not want to do. Most of the time, Luo Jian used the hypnotic ability of the umbrella subconsciously to make others forget his existence.

Usually, he would keep himself in a ‘transparent person’ state. Thus, he was able to enter into uncharted lands. However, he had used the ability too much. When he used it, he felt as if he really did not exist. It was as if he was transparent, nonexistent, and invisible to others.

This could be said to be a habit, a terrifying habit.

But sometimes, Luo Jian also wanted to talk to someone. It would be best if that person could never neglect his existence and best if they could notice him themself. They could stand close together, cast away the gap between them from when they pulled apart, and throw away the masks hanging on the surface so that Luo Jian’s heart could regain the warmth of the past.

Ah Lan was such a person. Luo Jian remembered that when he was still his friend, they talked about everything. All his troubles could be confided in the other person. All his feelings of pain that could not be expressed in front of others could be exposed completely in front of his friend, and his friend was such a gentle person that he was willing to accept all his troubles.

However, when Luo Jian appeared in such a body, he suddenly did not know how to pour out his troubles to Ah Lan like how he did before. All the words he could say were insincere, and all the emotions he wanted to express were utterly destroyed.

However, Luo Jian was no longer a weak newbie. He was already one of the strong who had been well-tempered. If necessary, even if he was a very important companion for Luo Jian, what was the harm of using him? Moreover, they were no longer companions, but enemies.

Luo Jian revolved around Ah Lan. He still felt entangled as he finally let out a sigh. He controlled Ah Lan and gave him some orders. He also took away his carry-on space. Of course, Luo Jian only took a set of clothes and some medical supplies from the carry-on space and finally gave it back to Ah Lan.

Clothes were what he needed, and medical supplies were what would possibly be needed.

Because Luo Jian had already felt that his several temporary members were nearby, and one of them was weakly breathing but was obviously injured.

Although he was a temporary member, he was also a member of a team. If Luo Jian could take care of them, he would do so. If he could not take care of them, he would be lazy to even care.

Luo Jian quickly returned to his temporary team. The woman in the team was injured and was burned beyond recognition by the explosion. Relying on the treatment methods learned from Clown, Luo Jian began to give the woman some basic treatment. He took the scalpel copied from Clown to cut the flesh for the woman and thereafter used some medical props and items to stop bleeding.

After hastily treating the woman, Luo Jian looked at the woman who was half-dead and felt that it was necessary to account for certain things.

His temporary team...... to be honest, except for Clown, some members of the team did not trust Luo Jian, and Luo Jian had no intention to force them to trust him. Anyway, he knew that he would not stay in this team for a long time. Moreover, the reason why the secret chamber allowed Luo Jian to join certain teams was because its ultimate goal was to let Luo Jian head into this battlefield to suppress other teams.

Luo Jian did not trust others too much, so when he joined a certain team, he usually dragged Clown along. He acted as a transparent person in the team, and Clown would play the villain. After mixing with the team for a period, he would leave, join the next team, mix with them for a period, and leave again before heading to the next team.

And days passed in this manner.

The woman in front of Luo Jian was actually a strategist in the team and a very intelligent character. She could do very well in certain chambers that required decryption and, on the battlefield, she could become a strategist. However, her fighting prowess was too weak, and her defence was poor. She could only rely on the protection of others. Such players had no other role except to make suggestions, even in team battles; when the other team’s assassin arrived, they could instantly wipe her out.

At least Luo Jian did not see any special power from the pen in this woman’s hand. This pen seemed to be able to turn the things written into reality, but how were such things realized? Luo Jian really could not understand anything.

But it was fine for him to copy it. Maybe this weapon would be useful.

During the period when the woman collapsed, Luo Jian decided to become the temporary strategist of the temporary team. However, the vampire team captain expressed his serious dissatisfaction. He tried all kinds of ways to probe him and confronted Luo Jian about his doubt. However, Luo Jian easily solved the crisis......

Of course, Luo Jian used his same old method, a simple hypnotic cue would be able to resolve this fellow.

Luo Jian knew the plot and the general direction of what would happen in this secret chamber, and he also knew that he did not need to intervene too much. Things would soon be the same as he expected. In fact, the present Luo Jian had long forgotten the ‘future self’ he had once met. What kind of attitude did the other party use to talk to him, and in what manner did he use to face the other party?

Although Luo Jian forgot, he used a special method to recall it. When he had experienced all this, he could remember everything.

After some consideration, Luo Jian decided to go back to Ah Lan’s side, standing in his original position, with the same angle he used to face the other, to face everything.

Therefore, soon, Ah Lan found that the little boy who had taken away his carry-on secret chamber had momentarily disappeared for a period and now came back to him again.

At this moment, Ah Lan was in a discussion with his team members about this secret chamber. They had to face the attack of the NPC and the attack from the enemy team. Everyone could not help but express their own opinions. When Luo Jian came over, he found that everyone he knew were standing here. Seeing each of these faces, Luo Jian could not help but shout out these names agitatedly.

However, when Luo Jian came to Ah Lan’s side, he found that Ah Lan was in a daze. He seemed to be looking at his team members. He had an expression on his face that said that he wanted to express something but could not speak of it. Luo Jian noticed Ah Lan’s expression, so he could not help asking him—

“What do you want to say?” Luo Jian asked this way.

Ah Lan who was over there trembled almost unnoticeably when he heard Luo Jian’s question. He turned his head and looked at Luo Jian. He found that the mysterious boy was standing beside him. However, all the members of the team seemed to be blind and consciously ignored the existence of the boy.

Noticing Ah Lan’s concerns, Luo Jian thought it was funny, “They can’t see me.”

Luo Jian said, “I am always easily ignored by others. No matter what kind of dazzling clothes I’m dressed in or how conspicuous this umbrella is, they will always easily neglect my existence.”

Ah Lan’s face was very stiff. Although he looked at Luo Jian, he did not utter a single sound.

Luo Jian suddenly remembered that Ah Lan was a mage with extremely high mental power. Moreover, Luo Jian once imposed a comprehensive memory-loss hypnosis on Ah Lan when he was younger in order to allow Ah Lan to forget the times he and Duan Li spent together.

Also, if hypnosis was repeatedly applied to the same person, that person would gradually develop a resistance to a certain extent. However, as long as Luo Jian’s ability was strong enough, he could still hypnotize a person repeatedly and impose strong cues on the person to control them to achieve his goal.

However, for Ah Lan now, although Luo Jian’s hypnosis and commands could indeed produce restraint and effect, he was afraid that there was still a place in the other party’s subconscious where there was still reason. In other words, Ah Lan may stay awake to a certain extent and respond to Luo Jian’s words.

Ah Lan’s reaction was also very obvious: he was on guard against Luo Jian and was afraid of him.

Luo Jian suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He felt that he was doing a very stupid thing, but he did not know what to do. His heart was also full of fear and pain...... He even felt like he was shaking. As a result, Luo Jian forced himself to smile and unconsciously spun his red umbrella to respond to Ah Lan—

“Don’t be afraid. Your current state will not last for a long time......”
