Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"Assuming there are 1,000 numbered blocks in the outer city, and each block has an average of 3,000 Soul Eater patients, then there would be 3 million victims!"

Li Zheng recalled the scene when Hisa was murdered: "In this process, not everyone's spirit could be successfully extracted; those who failed to be extracted were probably killed on the spot."

Therefore, the actual number of people who died from the extraction of their spiritual bodies is far greater than three million!
Miriel looked at the five obsidian stones and, after carefully sensing them, said, "The strength of these five obsidian stones is not equal, but increases from weak to strong, which means that the prey chosen by those people are all of progressively stronger strength."

"Could it be that they want to capture you because they want your spiritual body, and then turn you into something like this?"

“Very likely.” Li Zheng frowned and said, “The strongest of these obsidian stones should have just started absorbing the quasi-purple level magic crystal. With the amplification of these five obsidian stones, the ape-man’s mental strength is roughly equivalent to that of the five nodes, but his foundation is much weaker.”

In this way, it makes sense that even with only two mental energy nodes, Miriel's actions could slightly affect the ape-man.

"The one who wants my spiritual power is probably the leader of the Heavenly Will Organization, who is suspected to be a clone like me. Given his strength, there may no longer be a suitable 'vessel' for him to continue to grow stronger."

Li Zheng suddenly realized something was wrong: "Strange, how did they find out my whereabouts, and how did they know the strength of my mental power?"

Even if you can identify some information through your own genes, how did the other party manage to lock onto you?

Miriel guessed, "Could it be that someone in the outer city betrayed you?"

“Outer city…” Li Zheng’s heart sank. If someone in the outer city could betray him, the terminal operator was the prime suspect.

“There’s more,” Miriel continued, “When you were in the Fourth Sin Domain, you were wearing a disguise and accidentally attracted the attention of the Heavenly Will Organization members. At the time, they just thought that you had ruined their plan to obtain the Twisted Magic Crystal.”

“Hmm.” Li Zheng looked at her, not understanding why she was bringing this up now.

“Do you remember what that ape-man said to you last?” Miriel said. “He said that Nato secretly paid him to kill you and then take you back. Don’t you find that strange? How did Nato know you were the one from the Fourth Sin Domain?”

Yup!

Unless Nato knew his identity from the beginning, why would he give the ape-man crystal coins to kill him?

but……

This approach, however, has its own set of flaws.

Since the leader of the Heavenly Will Organization wants his spiritual body to be made into a vessel, if the ape-man really kills him and takes him back, then that leader...

Unless the leader didn't tell the ape-man his real reason for capturing him!

Li Zheng tried hard to recall what had happened during this period, starting from his first entry into the Fourth Sin Domain and slowly connecting it to the attack by the ape-men.

"I understand……"

Five minutes later, Li Zheng finished tidying up, let out a breath, and said, "It turns out that I was already being watched the moment I went to the Fourth Sin Domain. The Shadow Controllers I encountered in the gathering area who created infected bodies were probably also targeting me, because in that environment, they couldn't be sure of my identity."

He was able to easily deal with the two infected individuals without leaving any future problems.

Once such strength is revealed, one's identity is exposed.

After arriving in the Golden Light Zone, Nato inexplicably targeted him at every turn, which was clearly premeditated.

After all, in a place like the Sinful Domain, it's definitely not a wise move to offend a stranger without being absolutely certain of killing them to silence them.

Later, he went out to fight the beast tide, which made them realize his fighting ability was nothing special, so they attacked him afterwards.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the fact that someone dared to stand up for others in the Sinful Domain and come to their aid. Afterwards, they followed Mo Li to the Three Clans' stronghold; the other party should have known that as well.

However, with three races present and too many allies, the risk of capturing him was too great, so no one took action.

Then came today's ape-man attack.

“Li Zheng, could it be that Xu is helping the Tianyi Organization locate you?” Miriel raised another guess: “The terminal has no reason or need to betray you. If it were Xu, it would make sense.”

"Xu..."

Li Zheng was shocked: "Indeed, all his spiritual power is with me. After escaping from the Dark Realm, his strength has greatly decreased. Perhaps he is no match for me if he comes to take it himself. He can only ask others for help."

Moreover, his powerful mental strength was originally an intangible thing, so he could locate himself more accurately and conveniently than the terminal betraying him.

"Ugh." Miriel suddenly swayed, her body growing much dimmer. "I can't hold on any longer. I need to get out."

"it is good."

Li Zheng watched her leave the ape-man's mental world, while he tried to remove the five obsidian stones from the ape-man.

He reached into the magma, and before he even touched it, the five obsidian stones were automatically attracted to his hand.

A sudden burst of noise flashed past his ears, indistinct, but Li Zheng knew it came from the five obsidian stones.

He held the obsidian up to his eyes for a closer look and discovered that each obsidian contained a tiny figure with a different appearance.

They differ in race and appearance, but they have one thing in common: everyone has an expression of extreme pain on their face, as if they are constantly being subjected to inhuman torture.

"Your consciousness is still alive?" Li Zheng tried to communicate with the little people, but they ignored his question and just maintained a pained expression.

Li Zheng tried to infuse his mental energy into them, but as soon as he made a move, the expressions of those little figures became even more painful, and their bodies flickered, as if they might dissipate at any moment.

He quickly stopped what he was doing and withdrew his mental energy, and the little figures returned to normal.

"I can't force it, otherwise these figures will be dispersed by my mental power." Li Zheng temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to try and prepared to leave this place.

After obtaining these five obsidian stones, this place became worthless to him.

"I don't know if I can take it out."

Exiting the ape-man's spiritual world, Li Zheng opened his eyes and looked at his hands; there was nothing there.

"It followed my spiritual power into my spiritual world?"

Li Zheng's heart stirred, and he indeed discovered something different in a certain part of his mind. The five obsidian stones were indeed with him, but they did not enter his mental world; instead, they were blocked outside.

"...My mental world is too crowded and can no longer hold any more things. Let's send them into the Dark Realm and try to release them later if we make any discoveries."

Li Zheng sent the five obsidian stones into the Dark Realm, where they ended up in the hands of the spiritual entity sitting under the Bodhi tree.

But then, something unexpected happened!
