"Who asked you to bring this over?" Li Changhe tore off the gauze on his body. He started to apply the [Black Jade Healing Ointment] to his wounds.

The effect was quick, and Li Changhe could clearly feel the ointment seeping into his skin and repairing his bones. It was very painful, which was why Li Changhe hadn’t planned on using the [Black Jade Healing Ointment] before.

Although the recovery speed was several times faster than other medicines, the process was painful.

Previously, if it weren’t for Xiao Nan applying it for him, Li Changhe would have needed to maintain his boyfriend’s image and wouldn’t have only shouted ’it hurts’ a few times.

"No wonder my cousin wants to break up with her boyfriend. This thing is so damn painful! I think the next break-up is coming soon!" Li Changhe cursed while gritting his teeth. He couldn’t afford to recover slowly, as Yun Ting had helped him so many times. He had to fulfill her request.

He had to recover his strength as soon as possible and settle this grudge.

Pan Ke spread his hands and said, "I’m an intelligence dealer; how can I reveal my clie..."

Before he could finish, Li Changhe shouted, "Get him!"

He Feng, who was fully prepared, revealed a cold glint in his eyes and threw a punch. A burst of air exploded on his fist, an offensive [Skill]!

At the same time, Wang Er stepped back and activated [Shadow Assassin], instantly entering the [Aura Blocking] state. A flash of spatial fluctuation appeared on his hand, and a pitch-black long spear stabbed at Pan Ke.

Pan Ke’s face changed, and he shouted, "Stop! I have no ill intentions!"

But no one listened to his explanation. A slowly rotating Tai Chi pattern appeared under Pan Ke’s feet. He pushed both palms in two directions.

"Bang"

"Thud"

Surprisingly, he managed to block attacks from He Feng and Wang Er. The Tai Chi Array on the ground cracked, and Pan Ke spat out blood, cursing, "Damn it, I..."

He didn’t say anything else, because the tea table in front of him disappeared and turned into an Eight Ox Crossbow aimed at him.

Li Changhe posed a kick on the trigger of the Eight Ox Crossbow and held a Great Tang Heavy Crossbow with one hand. He said coldly to Pan Ke, "Don’t think I’d care about your ’external member’ identity! And don’t give me any of that Extraordinary Cause and Effect nonsense. I’m angry right now and have no goodwill towards you Transcendents!"

Pan Ke sensed that Li Changhe’s words weren’t meant as mere intimidation. If he didn’t do something, Li Changhe would indeed attack him. At this distance, under the assault of three [Players], Pan Ke had no confidence that he could survive.

Transcendents might be resourceful, but at this distance and under these circumstances, being shot by the Eight Ox Crossbow would have dire consequences...

"I can only tell you what I’m allowed to say. We have sworn a poisonous oath, so there’s much I can’t reveal!" Pan Ke shook his head, "Even if you kill me, I won’t be able to say it."

The three exchanged glances and lowered their weapons. They retrieved the tea table from the [Backpack].

However, they were still a little cautious about Pan Ke.

Li Changhe had a terrible impression of Transcendents.

Especially when it came to someone calculating that Yun Ting would be brought out of the old campus by Li Changhe, which made him feel like his destiny was being manipulated.

This feeling of having his fate arranged by someone else made Li Changhe instinctively resist from the depths of his soul.

"An Extraordinary person entrusted someone to send a message to me and asked me to forward it to you. As you know, I’m known as Mr. All-known, and Extraordinary people usually contact me," Pan Ke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Don’t ask me about his identity, I don’t know either. All I can tell you is that he is an Extraordinary person from the same Daoist sect as me."

He Feng asked, "You’re an information dealer, so you should at least tell us his goal, right? I mean your guess. Your speculation."

All three of them weren’t Transcendents, and they knew little about the Extraordinary. Maybe looking at it from the perspective of an Extraordinary would provide different insights.

"..." Pan Ke was silent for a moment. Seeing that Li Changhe took out the Great Tang Heavy Crossbow again, he sighed, "I don’t know much. We Extraordinary people are also divided into different systems. All I know is that he’s a Daoist Extraordinary person."

Ten minutes later, Li Changhe summarized the intelligence known by Pan Ke and himself.

An unidentified Daoist Extraordinary person sent the elf girl Xiao Ye to the orphanage a month and a half ago, saying that Yun Ting would appear in front of her adoptive father in a month.

Now someone had sent the photo of Yun Ting’s revenge target to Li Changhe through Pan Ke.

It was the same person!

Carefully planned every step of the way!

Damn!

"Did he calculate that I would become a [Player]? Or did he arrange it directly?"

"The chances are slim. A sports student killing a Fantasy Species can’t be arranged... As for predicting this extent, it’s probably beyond even Yuan Tiangang’s capabilities. Modern Extraordinary people are nothing like those from ancient times; no one can calculate so accurately. The [Evolution Game] has some suppression in the calculations for Extraordinary people. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too easy for Transcendents to find [Players]?" Pan Ke shrugged.

"So, he calculated that [Player] would trigger a [Task] during the old campus activity?" Li Changhe changed his thinking, "Or did they interfere with the activity altogether, calculating that [Player] would enter room 303 letting Brother Ting possess them?"

Li Changhe recalled that if Yun Ting had wanted to leave, possessing a [Player] wouldn’t change the outcome.

"That’s not right. Leaving aside whether possessing Brother Ting was a good idea, even after possession, there’s no guarantee they would go to the orphanage a month later," He Feng frowned, "There are only two of us from the orphanage in school. At that time, I had just completed a [Task] and had not triggered the Abandoned School Phantom [Task] in the old campus. So, you were the only one who could carry Brother Ting back."

"So we’re back to the beginning. Can someone calculate that I would become a [Player] the day before?" Li Changhe’s face darkened.

Pan Ke glanced at Li Changhe, "It’s possible that they calculated that a [Player] would take Yun Ting to the orphanage. Or maybe... they calculated the person, not you but Yun Ting."

Was the target Yun Ting?

What was their motive?

Li Changhe threw the photo on the tea table, "Then what does he mean by this?"

In the envelope with the photo, there was a note stating that the woman in the photo was Yun Ting’s target.

The note was printed, so there was no way to investigate it further.

"Take Brother Ting out and help her get revenge. All of this was calculated, is the goal this revenge? Or is it to have me fight that woman? What will the other party gain?" Li Changhe pondered for a moment in his mind, "Damn it, they’re forcing me onto their pre-designed path!"

Remembering what Hassan had said about the four Extraordinary Cause and Effects, Li Changhe felt even more disgusted. Buddhist, Daoist, Assassin, and who else had schemed against him?

After a moment of silence, Li Changhe asked, "Can you tell how many Extraordinary Cause and Effects I have on me?"

Pan Ke frowned, "Extraordinary Cause and Effect? You should just have one from the Buddhist path and, due to Yun Ting, one more from the Daoist path at most. How could you have several?"

Even though he said this, Pan Ke still took a wooden sword from his [Backpack], and after cutting his fingertip, he smeared the blood on his forehead.

When he looked at Li Changhe again, his face changed slightly, "Four? That’s not possible."
