Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1078 779: Transmigrators

"There are some things we didn't want you to know so early, but since you've figured it out yourself, we can only be honest with you."

Chu Xiao sighed, speaking sincerely: "Actually, we are not only from Earth, but also directors of the Cosmic Administration Bureau, specifically responsible for handling abnormal events occurring in major universes."

"Cosmic Administration Bureau?" Li Zheng heard the name, his heart stirred slightly, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before.

It wasn't after the aftershocks; it existed in the implanted memory of the original owner.

"Yes." Chu Xiao continued: "We know your identity because you are also a director of the Cosmic Administration Bureau, lost contact after entering here long ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zheng suddenly laughed, "Are you trying to fool me? Do you think you're the only ones who love reading novels? The Cosmic Administration Bureau is just a setting from a failed novel by Yue Luohong! If I hadn't happened to read it, I might have been fooled by you."

"Ahem..." Chu Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, "You've even read such an obscure novel? I heard from Yue Luohong that only three people subscribed to that book, one is himself, one is me... could the third one be you?"

Li Zheng smiled slightly and said firmly, "Not me, I read a pirated version!"

"Is that book called 'Anomaly Containment Center'?" Ye Kai raised his hand, speaking weakly, "If so, the third subscriber probably is me."

"Wow!" Ye Yuan exclaimed, "You can't even remember who wrote Journey to the West, yet you can remember the title of a failed novel with only three subscribers?"

"Don't hide it from you, I transmigrated right after finishing that book." Ye Kai stammered, "During the process of transmigration, I saw Li Zheng in a space-time turbulence scene, that's when I became aware of his existence. But the image was short, only showing a scene of him living on a planet somewhat similar to Earth."

"Huh?" Chu Xiao raised an eyebrow in surprise, "My sister and I also transmigrated right after finishing that novel! My sister had little pocket money, so we read it together. We also learned about the existence of the senior transmigrator, Li Zheng, from the space-time turbulence. But I saw a bit more, apart from the scene of him living on that planet, I also saw a weird purple thing, like dark clouds covering the sky."

Recalling that the sister who transmigrated with him had already been killed by Lin Feng, Chu Xiao's expression dimmed, showing a bit of grief.

"Wait!" Ye Kai thought of something and asked Chu Xiao, "I was afraid of upsetting you before and never asked. Did you and your sister take the same passage?"

"Yes, it was the same passage, she was right next to me when we transmigrated." Chu Xiao nodded, "Why? Weren't you guys?"

Ye Kai was surprised and looked at Ye Yuan, "Of course, we weren't together. I always thought she got dragged along because of me, but now... it doesn't seem like it?"

Ye Yuan's expression became a bit unnatural, her eyes evasive, "You were always on your phone reading that novel, I was just curious about what's so good... and then... "

"You read a pirated version too?" Li Zheng asked.

"Yeah." Ye Yuan nodded, embarrassed.

"That doesn't make sense!" Li Zheng looked at the three of them, "If you didn't transmigrate together, how did you confirm each other's identities and end up in the same group?"

Ye Kai raised his hand, "The information you saw with the words 'Earth' was sent by me."

Chu Xiao raised his hand, "I saw it."

Ye Yuan raised her hand, "I saw my brother's avatar."

Li Zheng paused for a few seconds and asked, "Then why didn't you actively contact me?"

The three looked at each other and said in unison, "You didn't contact us either."

After sorting through the logic, they quickly understood where the misunderstanding lay.

Li Zheng was the senior transmigrator, seeing that Ye Kai and the others had already exposed their status as transmigrators, they would have thought Li Zheng, as the senior, surely noticed them.

But later, since he didn't get in touch, the three assumed Li Zheng hadn't noticed and were worried that revealing their shared status as transmigrators might cause suspicion.

After all, he was the senior, and who knows if the senior might eliminate competitors; they had read novels with similar plots.

As for why they got involved with Chu Xiao, it was mainly because they bonded while hunting Lin Fan together.

And Li Zheng, waking up from the Matrix, only had memories of living on Earth, utterly unaware of his identity as a transmigrator. He hadn't noticed Ye Kai's message at the time and hadn't realized these players weren't Earthlings.

In fact, Ye Kai and the others had another layer of reservation about contacting Li Zheng, concerned that it was all a scheme by him and that the entire Matrix was just a game created by him for amusement.

"So here's the question." Ye Kai and the other two stared at Li Zheng, questioning, "Why do you have only memories of living on Earth and no memories after transmigration?"

Ye Yuan glanced at Mirel not far away, suddenly realizing something, and exclaimed in a low voice, "You're not that transmigrator Li Zheng, you're a clone!"

Li Zheng smiled wryly and nodded, "That's right, I'm indeed not the original body."

Seeing him admit it, Ye Kai and the other two's expressions became extremely complicated.

Ye Kai's facial features scrunched together, "After all this guarding, we were just defending against a clone who knew nothing?"

Chu Xiao also complained, "We've been worried for so many days, turns out we were just aiming blindly in the void?"

Ye Yuan looked dejected, "I feel like we're just three fools."

"Apart from all this, I'm more curious about a less important question," Li Zheng looked at them and asked, "Why are all of us transmigrators pretty just, and why isn't there a big villain among the transmigrators?"

"Heh..." Chu Xiao smirked, "Do you think people who even read pirated versions of such novels could be bad people?"

Li Zheng's mouth twitched a couple of times, nodding lightly, "Makes sense."

With only three subscribers to the whole book, and one of them being the author himself, you can imagine how bad the novel must be.

As for the pirated channels...

Readers of pirated novels wouldn't possibly read such rubbish, right?

"So, are you saying the Matrix wasn't a game you created for amusement?"

Since their identities were revealed, Ye Yuan and the others spoke openly, taking this opportunity to ask any questions they had.

"Of course not!" Li Zheng spoke honestly, "I think I wouldn't be that bored. Besides, with so many races in the Outer City, if it was just for fun, why would I keep those aliens?"

"As for you guys," Li Zheng looked at the three intently and asked, "as transmigrators, where're your standard cheats? Old men in rings? Systems?"
