Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 974 682: Long Time No See

The elderly gray-haired woman turned to Li Zheng after finishing her argument: "Even though I know you're not him, I still want to say to you, long time no see."

Li Zheng: "???

What the hell, long time no see!

Right now, he really wanted to take out the Inscription Card to contact the Terminal, ask who the hell was so bored to create such a mess that he ended up taking the blame for…

Wait!

Li Zheng looked down at Little Sakura, who was still munching on fruit, and suddenly thought of a very serious question: Since this little guy was created by some predecessor, and the Matrix is so vast, why did she end up right on his path?

Also…

At first, after he got the Detector, he wasn't planning to enter the danger room. Why did he encounter the little guy the first time he wanted to try it out?

Everything…

So coincidental?

Li Zheng could not believe the Terminal wasn't involved in this.

The question now was, what was the stance of the mastermind behind all this?

Belonging to the Outer City side, or the side fascinated with the Emotion Storm?

"Since the Terminal is involved, it shouldn't be on the opposing side…" Li Zheng pondered.

At this point, the gray-haired woman waved to the young girl she brought along, pointing to the empty seat across from Li Zheng, "Anan, sit down."

"Yes, great-grandmother." Anan replied respectfully, then went over and sat down.

After sitting, the gray-haired girl's gaze boldly fell on Li Zheng, unabashedly observing him.

After a moment, she asked, "Are you the man great-grandmother arranged for me?"

Her voice was husky, a textbook case of a smoky voice, which contrasted with her somewhat naive appearance.

"Another one!" Li Zheng's legs were trembling with anger.

What on earth did that predecessor do?

Why are these people eagerly sending spouses one after another?

If by now Li Zheng still couldn't see what the seats across represented, he would be deceiving himself completely.

He glanced at Mirel and suddenly realized today that the proposal from the Enchanting Demon Queen for him to bring Mirel to the Outer City had been suspicious from the start, right?

But looking at Mirel, who also seemed anxious, Li Zheng was convinced that she, like him, was kept in the dark.

This situation…

It's simply too absurd!

"Except for the Destruction Race which is too far to come, everyone else is here."

The Black Dragon Race elder stood up after the gray-haired woman sat down, addressing everyone: "We promised someone that as long as he could accomplish the impossible, each of our races would carefully select an outstanding member to marry him as a wife. If he couldn't make it, then the one who brings the newborn must accept this stake on his behalf."

"Now..." His old, furrowed finger pointed to the fruit-munching Little Sakura: "The newborn has arrived and is very healthy, so it's time to fulfill our agreement."

"Wait!" Li Zheng quickly interrupted: "Isn't this too hasty? It wasn't me who made the agreement, so why should I accept its repercussions? I don't agree!"

"I don't agree either!" Dan Fenglai added: "I don't want to marry this annoying guy!"

"Fenglai, shut up!" The Blood Queen looked at her and snapped angrily.

Dan Fenglai pouted, lowering her head in grievance, this time real tears welled up in her eyes.

The gray-haired woman spoke: "This agreement must be fulfilled, it concerns the survival of our five races. Neither of us can annul it."

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng frowned slightly, his gaze swept across the Blood Queen and the Black Dragon Race elder's faces: "How does such a childish agreement decide your races' survival? Can someone explain to me?"

"This matter… let me explain." The Black Dragon Race elder sighed and said: "Did you ever wonder, why don't the Black Dragon Race, Blood Race, and Suffering Race live in the Outer City but rule enclaves in the Wilderness?"

At this moment, the Black Dragon Race elder suddenly emitted a thick, almost tangible Blood Qi, enveloping him tightly, resembling a blood-red cocoon.

The surface of this blood-red cocoon constantly morphed into various ferocious beasts, terrifying to behold.

Li Zheng seemed to smell an overwhelming scent of blood, which caused the Resentment Body's black hair on his back to wriggle, the Resentment Body within the black hair appeared immensely fearful of it.

He looked at the Blood Queen and the gray-haired woman, and found them similarly exuding endless Blood Qi, forming blood-red cocoons.

Except for him and Mirel, everyone there was used to it, completely unfazed.

"You are Bloody Ones!" Li Zheng was extremely shocked, these three blood-red cocoons must have been produced after personally killing many of their kin!

He looked at Mirel: "Are the Enchanting Demon Race and the unexposed Destruction Race like this too?"

"Not the same." The Blood Queen's voice came from within the blood-red cocoon, as the cocoon slowly unraveled like peeling silk, and was reabsorbed into her body.

She said with slight disdain: "Among the three present races, whether the Black Dragon Race, Blood Race, or Suffering Race, after entering the Matrix for various reasons, deeply believed in the law of the jungle, leading to fierce internal strife, preventing us from ascending to the Outer City in the end, and trapped us in the Wilderness.

"The Destruction Race is similar, but their nature is inherently warlike and destructive, belonging to a completely chaotic camp, while we…"

She glanced at the two beside her who retracted their blood-red cocoons as well, then said slowly: "We actually yearn to return to order, only our Bloody Ones' identities bind us, preventing our entire races from moving into the Outer City."

"What about the Enchanting Demon Race?" Li Zheng asked: "When I met the Enchanting Demon Queen, they were still in the Matrix, not having even entered the Wilderness."

"The Enchanting Demon Race?" The Blood Queen's expression grew even more contemptuous: "They're just a bunch of weaklings. When they heard about the final trials after entering the Outer City or Wilderness, they instigated other potentially ascending races in the Abyss to remain in the Matrix to avoid the war.

"This action of theirs left no player in that session to combat the Mental Storm, forcing us remaining races in the Wilderness to step up, suffering grievous losses!"

The gray-haired woman snorted coldly at this moment, saying no more, though her expression showed clear disdain for the Enchanting Demon Race's actions.

Since entering, she hadn't even given Mirel a second glance, which must have been due to this matter.
