Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 105

“What are you talking about?”

Loid concealed the chill under his mask, his face showing surprise and vigilance.

Twilight might not be referring to his codename before he went undercover in the Black Organization, but rather his player ID.

As for explicitly stating he was a spy?

Loid was more inclined to believe this was Gin’s test now that he had become a codenamed member.

And as a staunch codenamed member of the Black Organization, encountering provocation from other players, he had to fight them first.

His right hand suddenly grabbed the spider. The seemingly bizarre spider offered no resistance and was easily caught. Then, Loid squeezed hard.

Instead of a burst of flesh and blood, the spider suddenly transformed into colorful marbles, scattering in all directions.

This was his equipment, the Supreme Card – Three of Diamonds, which had the power to turn objects it touched into marbles.

However, the death of this spider did not end the matter. Light and shadow flickered, and dense swarms of spiders surged inside the car, forming a black tide that enveloped Loid.

“If you don’t listen, you’ll die.”

The grating voice echoed in the car again. Loid’s movement to unleash a skill abruptly stopped, not because he was startled by the voice, but because, at some unknown point, transparent spider silk had pierced through his body.

Like a marionette, Loid reached out and removed his right glove. The glove turned into a Three of Diamonds card, which was taken by several spiders.

Only then did he notice how the spiders moved: they wove a spiderweb on the spot, seemingly performing a simple ritual, and the equipment he had so painstakingly acquired was directly transferred away.

“What organization are you from? Don’t you know the price of provoking the Black Organization?”

“Stop messing around, Twilight. Someone who is dedicated to world peace would actually be with the Black Organization?”

The sneering voice in his ear made Loid fall silent. Not many people knew about this seemingly absurd dream.

So, if it wasn’t Gin, then what organization was it?

Why did they know so much about his existence?

“Are you responsible for Chiba’s affairs? Are there any other codenamed members in Chiba?”

That voice rang in his ear.

Loid scoffed back, “I thought you were so impressive, but it turns out you even need to ask me for answers to things like this?”

“My Lord has just awakened, so naturally, we need to understand the current situation. If you pledge your loyalty, you will naturally gain evolution.”

“Anyone can talk big.”

“Then what if your information is sent to Gin?”

The photo of him and Anya was placed before Loid, and a chill shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

“Anyway, it’s all betraying the Black Organization. What’s the difference between sending one piece of intelligence and two?”

“Twilight, this shouldn’t be a difficult choice.”

Sunlight shone through the glass onto Loid Forger’s face. Whether it was big talk or not, the other party possessed an ability he couldn’t refuse…

At a certain moment, Loid suddenly opened his eyes, his body springing up before slowly settling back down.

His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, which soaked his exquisitely tailored, high-end suit.

The car was as clean and fresh as ever, and his body had not been pierced by spider silk.

There were no whispering spiders in the photo, and he was still holding the sandwich in the same posture.

He silently glanced at the sandwich in his hand. The black spider inside was no longer struggling, mixed in with the salad dressing, looking like crispy seaweed flakes.

Unfortunately, the glove on his right hand had disappeared, telling him that what had just happened was not a short nap or a nightmare.

“Was I pulled into a dream just like that?”

“Strange Tales Association?”

“Seems like they’re quite strong.”

Loid didn’t bother with Hiroki Harada’s matter anymore. Instead, he got out of the car and went back to the convenience store to buy another sandwich.

Meeting the cashier’s surprised gaze, Loid took out his wallet but paused for a moment. He gave the cashier a polite smile and asked, “Excuse me, can I pay with a bank card here?”

His cash had also vanished.

“What is this?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned over, removed the spider from Xu Lun’s ear, and flicked it away. She asked curiously, “A spider crawled on you, and you didn’t even notice? You’re so careless.”

“The way you grabbed that spider with your bare hands was a bit unladylike.”

Xu Lun rubbed his temples, the feeling of operating like watching TV while eating.

“Huh? Do you have an opinion?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of maintaining any image in front of Xu Lun, or rather, her image had long since been completely depleted.

Mafuyu Kirisu was already asleep on Shizuka Hiratsuka’s lap. She would probably sober up once she woke.

A drunk Mafuyu Kirisu naturally couldn’t drive anymore, so Shizuka Hiratsuka carried her to the back seat of the car.

They planned to leave Mafuyu Kirisu’s car there for now and take Shizuka Hiratsuka’s car back to school. Mafuyu Kirisu would then come back to pick up her car once she sobered up.

Xu Lun sat in the passenger seat, glancing at Shizuka Hiratsuka’s excellent curves constrained by the seatbelt, and said with a smile, “Shizuka, if it’s really not working out, just stop going on blind dates, okay? I’ll accompany you in the future if worst comes to worst.”

“What kind of joke are you making? I treat you like a brother, and you’re trying to hit on me?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka laughed and scolded him.

She glanced at Mafuyu Kirisu through the rearview mirror and continued to threaten Xu Lun, “And Mafuyu too. If you dare to hit on my Mafuyu, just wait to be dumped in Tokyo Bay.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka’s family had some yakuza background, which might be one of the reasons why her blind dates always failed.

Xu Lun reminded her expressionlessly, “Wait a few more years, and be careful, your blind dates might turn into middle-aged bald men with divorced kids.”

“The problem is, today’s blind date was already like that! And he even had the nerve to complain that I didn’t look like I’d be good at taking care of a home! And asked stupid questions like if I had fertility issues since I hadn’t dated for so long!”

Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke some outrageous words with a distorted face.

Xu Lun immediately averted his gaze, feeling that she would react in the next moment and frantically demand that he forget what she had just said.

However, Xu Lun miscalculated this time. Shizuka Hiratsuka simply continued driving quietly.

Licking her dry lips, Shizuka Hiratsuka somewhat missed the cigarettes she had quit because of Xu Lun.
