Befriending The Most Powerful Person

《109》

After Shao Ci left, he used his psychic power to search around and finally found an item imbued with dense psychic energy in a hidden place.

It was a photograph.

It looked very ordinary, even slightly yellowed, and Shao Ci didn't pay much attention to it at first. But when he took a closer look, he was stunned.

The person in the photograph looked somewhat familiar. Wait a minute?!

Shao Ci carefully examined the photo... No, rather than saying the person looked familiar, it was more accurate to say that the person in the photo was the first villain boss he encountered after entering this world, Duke Stuart!

The young man in the photo was dressed in modern attire, with platinum hair tied behind his head. Although he was smiling, his light blue eyes showed no emotion.

Upon closer inspection, there were some differences between him and Duke Stuart... Although Shao Ci had made many vows afterwards, he still remembered the first copy and was still haunted by what Duke Stuart had done. He was afraid of being entangled by this photo.

Of course, Shao Ci now had a certain level of resistance to the villain boss, mainly because when he first arrived, he wasn't familiar with the powers in this virtual game.

While Shao Ci was contemplating, he heard rustling sounds behind him, causing him to startle.

There was no time to search for other items now. Shao Ci looked at the photo again and reassured himself that maybe this was just a distant relative of Duke Stuart... No, it was more likely that the game system randomly generated a face to save time.

Only he would be bothered by such things. Anyway, it was all in the past now, far from that copy. Moreover, the portrait that Duke Stuart relied on had already been burned. It should all be over.

With this in mind, Shao Ci closed his eyes and, following the description in the original text, immersed his psychic power into the photo.

As his psychic power entered the photo, it felt like entering another world, and he could no longer control it. After absorbing a certain amount of psychic power, Shao Ci felt the space around him distort, and the environment instantly changed.

At that moment, his necklace on his neck briefly lit up, then dimmed again. Because everything happened so quickly, Shao Ci didn't notice it at all.

As his surroundings brightened, Shao Ci found himself back in the originally clean and bright corridor, and the photo in his hand disappeared instantly, no longer existing.

After returning, Shao Ci felt a sense of relief. Although it wasn't to say that this place was absolutely safe, it was definitely much better than the previous abandoned spaceship.

When he checked the game system, Shao Ci found that the main quest was still incomplete.

Shao Ci: "...sigh." He had a feeling like this before, but now that he knew it was impossible, he felt somewhat conflicted.

After all, they were on a spaceship, and there was no way to escape. If they wanted to leave this spaceship, it would take another ten days or half a month to reach their destination... As for trying to escape with an escape pod or something, Shao Ci felt that would be suicidal.

If things continued like this, he would have to confront Xavier... With mixed emotions, Shao Ci decided to explore the surroundings first. He walked to the side corridor, turned a corner, and was stunned to see four or five bodies lying in the corridor.

Shao Ci: "...Huh??" What, what happened here?!

These bodies had wounds, and the fatal injuries seemed to be stab wounds through the chest. Shao Ci wasn't a detective and couldn't tell how long they had been dead.
