Chapter 392 Who moved my cake?
Although Tartarus was in the "darkness", her heart was still towards the light. She used a rather obscure hint to tell the tail-end team how to approach Schwartz.
Obviously, they still need external help.
turn on.
Following the instructions on the note, the tail-end team wandered around the ghost market and found a person named Hao Jiani.
"I have some impression of this person."
Selina continued explaining, "Back when I was doing business, I occasionally followed the resurgence of monstrosity. This Hao Jiani is the proud disciple of Professor Sophia, a monster extermination expert, and has a deep understanding of monsterology. How did someone like him end up in the Ghost Market?"
“Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times.”
Di Qi said, "Instead of guessing here, it's better to verify it with your own eyes."
"Lead the way."
Jiaozi looked a little tired, which showed that Tartarus' kick had really hurt him.
.
Not long after, the tail-end team finally got the chance to visit Hao Jiani as they wished.
It was going so smoothly that the last-place team even thought, "Is Tartarus playing a trick on them?"
But soon, this thought dissipated like a dark cloud.
Hao Jiani is a young woman with a pretty face and a wealth of talent. She is an absolute talent.
But it was this person who actually met them so easily.
"This day has finally arrived..."
Hao Jiani and Schwartz are in cahoots, but she doesn't look happy. Why is that?
The last-place team arrived at Hao Jiani's room, a typical scholar's room, filled with all kinds of monster documents and monster specimens that could not be named.
Hao Jiani was quite accommodating, inviting the last-place group to sit wherever they pleased. However, the last-place group found themselves with an awkward silence, rubbing their hands.
"Ms. Hao Jiani..."
Although exhausted, Jiaozi still forced himself to negotiate with Hao Jiani.
"No need to say anything."
Hao Jiani waved her hand gently, indicating that there was no need to say more. "Did Tartarus send you here? You want to know about Schwartz?"
The last-place team nodded sullenly.
"As you all know, Schwartz is an out-and-out villain. As a descendant of the Xinhuo clan, he's a very traditional fire thief. To achieve his goals, he'll resort to any external force, even risking his own life. In comparison, Professor Sophia seems much more gentle..."
"Wait a minute, Professor Sophia?"
Selina couldn't bear the doubts in her heart. "Excuse me, Ms. Hao Jiani, but how is Professor Sophia doing now? To be honest, I admire her very much."
"She's dead."
Hao Jiani said weakly, "Logically, I should be happy. As long as Professor Sophia exists, I will always be just her assistant. People will only remember Professor Sophia as the best of the best, and treat me like air... I know that my day of success will never come..."
"So you killed her?" Di Qi sneered.
Hao Jiani shook her head.
"I don't know if it was her who was killed, but I know we must have gotten into trouble with someone we shouldn't have. You might also know that Professor Sophia was extremely righteous and hateful when she was alive. If she had seen Schwartz holding the Monster Games, she would have done everything she could to stop it, even if it meant pawning her own brooch."
"But she's dead! Died in the twilight between day and night, and even her obituary was forbidden. I don't know what you call 'that incident', but I know Professor Sophia is innocent! No matter how shining her halo was, she was just an ordinary person who loved monsters!"
Having said this, Hao Jiani pinched her head tightly with both hands, appearing to be in great pain.
Seeing her so distressed, Bubulu couldn't help but feel sympathy, but he still couldn't help asking:
"Then why do you still want to cooperate with Schwartz?"
"That was a warning, I know. Professor Sophia made too many enemies in her life, and now that she's lost the one who stood by her, I have no choice but to flee. Otherwise, I'll be the next to die. I know that very well. I have to leave my comfort zone and run as far as possible."
"Is this the reason you're in cahoots with Schwartz?"
Jiaozi didn't believe that Hao Jiani would tell the truth so easily.
"In fact, Professor Sophia is also a descendant of the Xinhuo Clan, but her philosophies are vastly different from Schwartz's. I don't know what the Fire Thief's mission is, but I know they share the same goal. So I sought out Schwartz, providing him with all the monster intelligence he needed and secretly serving him."
"But I didn't expect... they still found me!"
Speaking of this, Hao Jiani seemed even more crazy, as if her spirit was about to collapse.
"A few days ago, someone disguised himself as a Dark Stalker and approached me. He wanted to ask me about Professor Sophia's murder. God bless you, I was terrified. Professor Sophia's death was unknown to many people. I suspected he was deliberately testing me, hoping to kill me to prevent future trouble."
"At that time, I exhausted all my life's wisdom and at least sent him away. But I know this place is not safe anymore. If even a dark place like the Ghost Market can't accommodate me, then what should I do..."
Hao Jiani became more and more excited as she spoke, and it was obvious that she had been spending these days in extreme tension and anxiety.
"I can't take it anymore! Even if I end up in jail like Huang Quan, it's better than living here in fear, waiting to rot every day! It must be fate that Tartarus recommended me. I'm going to tell you everything I know!"
"..."
Diqi sensed something strange was going on and quickly glanced at Jiaozi. Jiaozi understood and secretly summoned the Vine Monster from the Monster Card.
The vine demon immediately stretched out its vines and tied up Hao Jiani.
"Gu...what are you going to do..."
The accuracy of the vine Yaoyao has reached perfection, and it can completely bind Hao Jiani without hurting her at all.
"Did the Dark Stalkers come looking for you? They're always treacherous and unpredictable. My eldest brother once said that if you encounter them, you can never be too cautious."
For safety reasons, Di Qi asked everyone to step back a few steps to stay away from Hao Jiani.
"That's right, maybe that DK's monster ability hypnotizes you, and you've been hypnotized? Or maybe it's a special ability similar to the Word Spirit, where you can self-destruct just by saying a certain keyword? Or maybe..."
Jiaozi stopped talking because he saw that Hao Jiani had completely calmed down.
"Hahahaha, I see, I see, this is fate!"
"What are you talking about?" Bubulu felt confused.
"Actually, I lied to you a little. I'm not completely ignorant of Professor Sophia's death. She actually foresaw her own death long ago and explained her final arrangements to me in advance. It's a pity that I was too weak and chose to escape."
"It was then that I understood why Professor Sophia was a professor and I was just an assistant. ——I will never be able to reach the level of Professor Sophia."
