Chu Yi was only surprised for a moment before he quickly collected himself.
In honesty, this was not his first encounter with a NPC who seemed to be aware of the system and its rules. In the last copy, he met the final boss R89.
In the last few seconds before the time was up, he defeated him and R89 was instantly restrained from continuing to engage with players, but not like a program being reset but like invisible chains being locked down again.
Li Li seemed to sense something and smiled meaningfully, "You seem to have experienced something similar."
This was not a question but a statement.
Chu Yi was quiet, gazing with sharp red eyes.
Even the surrounding atmosphere contained a certain unspoken tense atmosphere, shrouded in the pitch-black shadows.
