It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 588 Make a fake one
Ye Zheng felt uneasy and frowned, saying, "You want to use the little skeleton to lure out Meteor? But Meteor has a Gargoyle card, and he might kidnap Miaomiao right under our noses."

“Make a fake one.” Feng Ling gestured and said, “Find someone to pretend to be Little Skull and film a video with me, then post it online. Meteor will definitely come looking for me, unless she doesn’t read the news or care about my whereabouts.”

"Oh, and bring this sheep with you too." Feng Ling looked at the little boy in the corner, got up to go and check on him, but then remembered that she would become confused if she got close to the boy, so she sat back down.

The boy's facial features had become sheep-like. Feng Ling rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. "The administrator is in my hands, and Meteor's body is also in my hands. How could Meteor not come? She will definitely come to find me."

Ye Zheng asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't this seem a bit deliberate? She might guess it's a trap."

“Even if she suspects it’s a trap, she has to come and verify it herself,” Feng Ling said confidently. “Unless the demon contract is invalidated.”

Meteor promised Miaomiao that she would switch bodies back, but she didn't promise a time limit. Therefore, she could temporarily ignore the contract terms without knowing Miaomiao's whereabouts, which did not constitute a breach of contract.

However, if she knows Miaomiao's whereabouts but still fails to take action, that would be considered a breach of contract.

Ye Zheng thought about it seriously for a while, then nodded and said, "We can give it a try, but we must think carefully about how to fight back, especially how to counter the Gargoyle card. We can't let the Meteor escape again."

“Restrain yourself…” Feng Ling turned to look at the weasel on the sofa. “This task is yours. Find out if there are any cards that can counter Gargoyles.”

The weasel straightened up and nodded.

"Now I need to know what a meteor looks like, and then have Pei Xianjue arrange a stand-in... If Pei Xianjue can't find one, I'll ask Old Su if he has any suitable candidates." Feng Ling muttered to herself as she used the tablet she had just used for the video call with the parrot to contact Pei Xianjue.

The video call was quickly answered by the other party, and the interface showed that the connection was established.

After a brief blackout of a few seconds, the face of an unfamiliar woman appeared.

Despite being mentally prepared, Feng Ling was still stunned.

It took some time for my brain to re-cognize the Huangfu Miaomiao in front of me—it was really hard to get used to. Before, Huangfu Miaomiao just liked wearing skull masks, but now, she had become a skull herself. Her face was so thin that it looked like she had run out of oil, and her features lacked the filling of muscle and fat, making her extremely ugly and terrifying.

Pei Xianjue's face appeared on the screen. After making a few movements to leave the camera, he said to Huangfu Miaomiao next to him, "Okay, it's connected now. You can talk to Feng Ling."

Huangfu Miaomiao's eyes instantly filled with tears, her parched lips parted and closed: "Feng Ling, waaaaaah!!!"

Feng Ling: "…………"

She now felt a slight sense of familiarity.

"Feng Ling, I almost died! Waaaaaah!!!" Huangfu Miaomiao burst into tears.

All the fear, helplessness, anxiety, and grievances that had been building up inside her surged up at once. Huangfu Miaomiao wanted nothing more than to tell Feng Ling everything that had happened these past few days, but her mouth betrayed her; she had barely opened a crack when she burst into tears.

"Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

"Woooooooooooo..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..Hiccup..."

Pei Xianjue handed him a piece of paper from the side.

Feng Ling didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only wait for Huangfu Miaomiao to vent her emotions before discussing serious matters.

Ye Zheng wanted to interrupt several times, but considering how difficult Huangfu Miaomiao had been lately, he held back. The two of them silently watched the emaciated woman wailing in the video.

Only Pei Xianjue was busy taking care of things, sometimes handing out tissues to wipe away tears, sometimes gently comforting her.

After crying for a full five minutes, Huangfu Miaomiao slowly stopped, hiccuped a few times, and looked at Feng Ling in the video with teary eyes.

"Feng Ling... have you come looking for me?" she asked in a resentful tone.

“I found him.” Feng Ling nodded, rubbing the goosebumps on her arm as she spoke sincerely, “Have a player named Xiao Shu pass on a message to me. All the information is recorded in the phone watch. I know.”

"Hehe..." Huangfu Miaomiao started giggling when she heard that Feng Ling had contacted her.

She looks awful when she cries, and she looks even uglier when she smiles now.

It wasn't because Meteor was ugly, but because he was too thin, barely more than a dried-up corpse. Coupled with his adult appearance but childlike demeanor, it gave people an even greater sense of unease and incongruity.

"I'm not used to you looking like this," Feng Ling said awkwardly. "Take good care of yourself during this time and try to gain some weight."

Huangfu Miaomiao was taken aback. "Aren't you coming to pick me up?"

Feng Ling shook her head. "I can't pick you up for now. While you were away, we were tricked by Meteor. She took advantage of the messenger being held back by me and killed almost all the administrators. Now only the tree shrews from the Underworld Abyss and the dwarf sheep from the Mother Nest Abyss are left. I need to advance to the Abyss Body as soon as possible. I'll pick you up after I've finished dealing with this."

Ye Zheng also spoke up to explain: "Miaomiao, Meteor sees all the administrators as thorns in his side. He will kill them all whenever he has the chance. Feng Ling needs to advance to the Abyss Body in the Abyss Maze, so we must enter the Abyss Maze before Meteor acts and let Feng Ling complete the advancement. Only in this way can we take the initiative. If you wait patiently, going to pick you up now will only put you in danger."

Ye Zheng paused for half a second, then said to Huangfu Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, can you log off using Meteor's body?"

Feng Ling was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Ye Zheng in surprise.

In the video, Huangfu Miaomiao stared wide-eyed and said emotionally, "Of course not! Meteor has been playing for almost a year! Her body, which has been lying in the game pod for a year, is like a broken machine. Even if she is saved with points, she will be left with serious aftereffects and will definitely not be able to enter the game again. I have only been playing for three months and I am still in good health!"

Feng Ling whispered to Ye Zheng, "Why did you ask her that?"

Ye Zheng glanced at her helplessly, "If we can leave no survivors, we won't be so constrained when dealing with Meteor."

In the video, Huangfu Miaomiao anxiously shouted, "Don't kill her! Losing an arm or a leg is fine, but you can't kill her! Otherwise, I won't be able to switch bodies back!"

Feng Ling nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand. I will capture her alive, don't worry."

Huangfu Miaomiao's tears were about to overflow as she sobbed, "Don't try to comfort me, you really can't kill Meteor, or I'll be finished too, waaaaaah..."

"I definitely won't kill her. If I'm going to kill her, I'll wait until you've switched bodies back before I do it," Feng Ling reassured her. "Get some rest and recover before I come back, otherwise I won't be able to take you with me in the future."

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mmm-hmm..."

"Alright, call Pei Xianjue, I'll talk to her some more," Feng Ling said.

Pei Xianjue was right next to her. Hearing this, she leaned out to greet Feng Ling: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Miaomiao."

“Do me another favor,” Feng Ling said to Pei Xianjue after glancing at Huangfu Miaomiao. “Find a hunter with the ability to disguise himself, have him impersonate her, and then send him to me.”
