Kott's program, designed to fake his signal location, was quickly cracked by Huo Rou, updating the bounty poster with Kott's new position.
He was no longer in the SS department.
The onlookers' eyes lit up.
"What kind of teleportation is that?!" Someone quickly compared the screenshot of his previous location with the current one. The time difference was only two seconds. "I was so bored I kept staring, and then a person vanished before my eyes!"
"Error?"
"System crash?"
"It can't be a fake address to mess with us, can it? Today isn't April Fool's Day!"
Puzzled, everyone asked questions.
Soon, "Kott Teleports" and similar trending topics topped the charts on Chinese social media.
Finally, someone offered an answer leaning towards the truth: "I guess Kott found out and did something to cover his tracks. The update now must be because the publisher broke his illusion."
"Holy crap! This is high-stakes!"
The update on the bounty poster caused everyone who had rushed to the SS department to change direction and head for the new location.
After completing her operation, Huo Rou closed the current window, and the situation analysis data for Yizhou appeared before her.
She turned to Qin Ningyi. "Do you have to go?"
"Yes."
Yizhou not only had the raw material suppliers they needed but also his uncle and the brothers he fought alongside. He had to go see them. Moreover...
He also needed to personally question Cheng Guozhong about his grandfather's words, and get to the bottom of the matter that had troubled his A'rou for so long.
Huo Rou's brow furrowed. She knew the situation at Qin's Skincare was bad. Although a lot had been revealed online recently...
She grew more agitated, and by the end, it seemed as if she wasn't just speaking to Qin Ningyi anymore. She roughly wiped the tears from her cheeks, her eyes red, and roared, "Yes, the virus will eventually be defeated, and an antidote will definitely be developed. But what about you?"
"What about you?!" she questioned loudly, her gaze seeming to look past him at something else.
Huo Rou stumbled back a few steps, feeling a bit lost. Her vision blurred, and her body swayed.
Qin Ningyi stood up abruptly. "A'rou..."
Huo Rou wiped her tears and turned, running towards the study door. "In any case, you are not allowed to go!"
Her hand touched the doorknob, and everything went dark.
"A'rou!"
