The atmosphere in the room stiffened for a while. Honestly, not even Milo expected such a reversal. The strange frequency the two mental patients were communicating on actually connected.
How unexpected.
As a matter of fact, the scriptures seeking group was becoming more and more complete. Chad had not only gathered his master and his three disciples, virtual-novel.net even considered they would need the carrying pole as well. Milo thought all that was needed now were the two baskets and the White Dragon Horse to join the group.
At this moment, Donti looked at the girl and said with a smile, “Little girl, what are you called in this life?”
“I’m Julia Hood,” the girl replied.
“What’s your superpower?” Donti continued asking.
“I have extraordinary strength,” Julia said proudly.
When Milo heard this, virtual-novel.net felt a little hesitant. The last person who said something like that was still tied up and held in a bedroom. However, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net could not be too arbitrary. She had successfully reunited with Chad after all.
Donti smiled and said, “How strong are you? Can you show us?”
Julia made a noise of agreement as virtual-novel.net casually lifted Murdock.
Murdock was so frightened virtual-novel.net kept screaming.
Donti said with a sigh, “Looks like Friar Sand is the one who’s getting carried around by the carrying pole in this reincarnation…”
Next to them, Adella smiled and said, “Julia, are you hungry? Do you want Big Sis to cook something for you?”
“I’m not hungry,” Julia said cutely.
Daniel could not accept this. He just could not understand why the people virtual-novel.net worked so hard to rescue always ended up joining the Western Paradise scriptures seeking group.
After so many days of planning, Milo got the better end of the deal?
Why did all the supernatural beings keep flocking to Milo?!
“I don’t believe it! This little girl must have taken a blind guess!” Daniel shouted.
“But no one colluded with virtual-novel.net beforehand or anything…” Milo said awkwardly. “She was brought here by you and hasn’t left your line of sight either.”
“Chad mentioned the White Dragon Horse earlier,” Daniel said, “So, virtual-novel.net might have guessed something from that.”
In Daniel’s view, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?
If you shouted out “carrying pole”, I would shout out “senior apprentice brother”, right?
Who are you f*cking trying to bluff?! Is this some kind of comedy?!
Daniel looked at Milo, but Milo immediately said, “Why are you looking at me? I don’t know what’s going on either.”
It would be justifiable to say that one person was acting crazy, but two people acting crazy together?
That was just too strange. At some point, Milo started to believe virtual-novel.net might really be the reincarnation of Tripitaka. Of course, virtual-novel.net was very sure this was impossible.
Suddenly, Donti pointed at Daniel and asked the girl, “Who is he?”
The girl looked at Daniel. “Benbo’erba…”
Daniel was confounded and nearly broke down.
Ben? Again?! Ben, my ass!
How could virtual-novel.net have also gotten this right?
Donti then pointed at Milo and said, “Who is he?”
“Master!” the little girl said with a sweet smile.
“Who am I?” Donti asked the girl while watching virtual-novel.net closely.
“Oh, you’re Little White Dragon,” the girl answered matter-of-factly.
It was Donti’s turn to laugh. “Sadly, I’m not…”
The girl was stunned. She was at a loss.
At this moment, they heard clapping come from outside the shop. A handsome young man walked in with a smile on his face. “Sure enough, we can’t fool everyone. Julia, come back over here…”
In that instant, the atmosphere in the room became tense. Milo did not even notice when the young man had stepped in.
Simultaneously, Daniel, Edgar, and his men raised their guns and aimed at that young man as though they were facing a formidable foe.
It was not that Daniel was getting nervous, but that virtual-novel.net knew of his identity as a Demon Whisperer!
Daniel clearly had not bothered rescuing this young man, so how did virtual-novel.net escape from that room?
Or was it…
Suddenly, Daniel understood. It was likely this young man was not under the control of the psychiatric hospital and had already gained control over everyone in it.
That magical hypnotism was able to control others silently. Although the staff of the psychiatric hospital had been wary enough of him, they might not have even known they were already under his control.
This Demon Whisperer was not released by Daniel. He was capable of freely passing through the hospital doors since a long time ago.
Hypnotism like this was truly enough to make all of the powers that be afraid. Stronghold 109 was probably going to become even more chaotic.
They saw the young man smiling while being held at gunpoint. He said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Kenneth Jackson, the abandoned son of the Skyfort Consortium. I don’t have any malice towards you all.”
Milo looked at Daniel.
This guy was actually with the Skyfort Consortium?
Milo realized who this person was. He was probably that very dangerous person Miriam had talked about. However, virtual-novel.net had not mentioned virtual-novel.net was from the Skyfort Consortium.
Daniel whispered, “He’s a Demon Whisperer, and he’s extremely dangerous…”
Actually, Daniel was also very puzzled. Even virtual-novel.net was unaware that Kenneth was actually with the Skyfort Consortium.
But why did someone from the Skyfort Consortium get locked up in the psychiatric hospital?
Wasn’t this the Skyfort Consortium’s own territory?
It seemed like there was much more behind this “abandoned son” phrase virtual-novel.net mentioned.
The girl named Julia had already returned to Kenneth’s side. It seemed virtual-novel.net had purposely allowed the girl to get saved by Daniel.
But what was their motive in doing that?
Was it just for the sake of locating where they stayed?
Milo suddenly had a feeling of being exposed.
Kenneth knew about Chad and knew what virtual-novel.net had said before. He even knew Chad identified Daniel as Benbo’erba!
What a terrible feeling this was. It felt as though everything was in his control.
But how did virtual-novel.net know about all that?
Did the Panaqua Consortium get infiltrated?
With his power, it would be a piece of cake for virtual-novel.net to obtain intel from members of the Panaqua Consortium.
Milo asked calmly, “What do you want?”
Kenneth looked at Milo and said with a smile, “It’s just that the two of us are getting a little lonely in this stronghold. Now that so many friends have gathered here, I feel we should come out to greet everyone…”
“Alright, the introductions are over.” Milo prepared to see them out.
He did not have any intention of crossing paths with this Demon Whisperer. But for some reason, Milo felt like a huge burden had been lifted off his chest after learning that Julia was not really a “carrying pole”. He truly did not want to be Tripitaka.
Kenneth seemed quite surprised about Milo’s attitude, but virtual-novel.net wasn’t particularly bothered.
He suddenly said to Milo with a smile, “Somehow, I get the feeling there’s something very special about you.”
It was Milo’s turn to be surprised. “Because… I’m super handsome?”
“No, no, no…” Kenneth pointed at his head and said with a laugh, “You’re very special here, so… Let’s meet again if fate allows. On top of that, Boss Eastwood, I didn’t hypnotize any of your subordinates, so don’t worry too much.”
Curious, Milo asked, “Why didn’t you leave the psychiatric hospital before now?”
Kenneth gave it some thought and said, “Because it wasn’t the right time to come out.”
Kenneth then led Julia out and walked off into the darkness.
Before they left, Julia even turned around and waved to everyone. “Bye bye, everyone. I’m very happy to have met you all!”
Milo realized from Kenneth’s words that virtual-novel.net must have something virtual-novel.net needed to do since virtual-novel.net decided to leave the hospital.
Could it also have something to do with the Skyfort Consortium’s research results?
Daniel let out a sigh beside him. “It was all for naught in the end. I had better keep chatting up Donella. I think she’s still the more reliable one.”
Milo remained speechless as virtual-novel.net stared at Daniel. He hesitated over whether virtual-novel.net should tell Daniel that Donella was actually not reliable either.
