"I won't tell you anything!"
Facing Jie Xia Lian's glare, Ye Ge remained expressionless.
Although a Xia Lian who transformed her domain into a Dragon on her own was a novelty, Ye Ge really didn't want to waste too much time teasing her.
It would be better to find where Wu Mi and the others were.
Of course, Ye Ge didn't need Jie Xia Lian to tell her at all; she could figure out what was going on with a bit of guessing.
Just now, the positions of her companions were still on the Family Locator, and she had sensed other auras not long ago.
Their disappearance now was nothing more than them hiding.
If this small group had any powerful hiding methods, it was undoubtedly Mu Luo's and Jiang Huashen's Superpowers that were a bit superior.
Since Jie Mu Luo wasn't here, that only left the Jiang Huashen of this space-time.
Ye Ge walked up to a man with a low ponytail who had given up struggling and reached out a hand to him.
"Hand them over. They should be hidden in your Scroll, right?"
Jie Jiang Huashen raised his eyes and gave her a faint glance.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Ye Ge had a strange feeling.
If it were the Lao Jiang from the original space-time, he probably would have offered everything with both hands long ago.
In this parallel world, she really couldn't be too forceful.
"I'm not from the Countermeasure Bureau, and I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you reclaim your dignity."
"And then?"
Jie Jiang Huashen looked disinterested, seemingly not caring about Ye Ge's words at all.
Three years ago, he indeed didn't want to deal with anyone besides Mu Luo, but in the world of these past three years, he had been forced to interact with others and reluctantly had some level of cooperation; naturally, he couldn't betray his partners based on a single-sided claim.
Ye Ge fell into deep thought for a moment.
Facing such an eccentric and paranoid fellow, it seemed she could only take an unconventional approach.
Ye Ge understood the personalities of her Sequence Zero companions quite well; even in a parallel space-time, there shouldn't be much difference.
She pulled out a Scroll from behind her.
Jie Jiang Huashen's gaze was instantly attracted.
He actually sensed the fluctuations of his own Superpower from a stranger's hands!
Moreover... that Scroll was definitely a work of Major Achievement!
The mere artistic aura radiating from it made Jie Jiang Huashen's breathing quicken.
He was certain that this was definitely a Peak painting created by the artist pouring in all their creative passion and inspiration; even other artists would gain a lot from observing it!
"Where did you get it? Such a sacred work—which Great Master created it? Why does it have the fluctuations of my Superpower!?"
Jie Jiang Huashen could no longer stay calm at all, and his tone was very urgent.
"Oh? Even without seeing the content, you think it's sacred? I don't quite understand you artists."
Ye Ge wasn't surprised at all.
The Scroll in her hand was the "Nursery Rhyme" masterpiece created by the Great Master "Soy Peanut" from the original space-time, a Peak work created with the help of the Creation Form; it was undoubtedly the best choice for fishing in a parallel space-time.
And Jiang Huashen was obsessed with abstract things like "artistic aura" and "inspiration."
Turning him over to her side was simply too easy.
"Swear your loyalty to me, and I'll give you the chance to observe it."
Ye Ge tossed the Scroll in her hands back and forth.
Jie Jiang Huashen was incredibly nervous, terrified that the work radiating a strong artistic aura would fall to the ground.
If that happened, it would be more painful than killing him!
"I shall be loyal to you!"
Jie Jiang Huashen didn't hesitate for a second; to hesitate would be a sign of disrespect toward art!
Jie Xia Lian: "Hey!"
Ye Ge nodded with satisfaction.
It seemed the small group here wasn't that united and loving.
At least compared to the original space-time, they weren't as loyal.
Not to mention a guy like Lao Jiang, who had a bit of a Chaos faction leaning.
"Call me Boss."
Jie Jiang Huashen: "Boss!"

Ye Ge looked at Jie Gu Wenxin.
"What about you? Do you believe what I said?"
Jie Gu Wenxin remained silent for a moment.
"I only want to know where the souls of the deceased that you carry come from."
"Oh, they're all bad people. Do you know about the Sentinel Base in the US? They commit all sorts of evil, even coming to the Dragon Kingdom to kidnap ignorant young boys and girls for evil experiments; I just wiped them all out."
Then Ye Ge added.
"Later, I will also clean up the High-Risk Sequences in society. If your hands are itching for a fight, I can take you along."
"Fine, I believe you."
Jie Gu Wenxin after getting his answer gradually withdrew the killing intent in his eyes.
As fellow practitioners of Slaying Evil, there was no need to turn their blades against each other.
Besides, with someone as powerful as her, there was no need to lie.

【Attribute Points to be allocated: 30】
Ye Ge released the two of them, leaving only Jie Xia Lian still hanging.
"What about me?"
"You stay hanging for now; I have a feeling you'll sneak attack me."
Ye Ge felt that Xia Lian's change was the most significant.
As clingy as she was in the original space-time, she was just as dangerous in this parallel space-time.
One could only say she was straying further and further down the path of a psycho.
She didn't know if she could still be set straight.
Let her hang for now.
Ye Ge casually threw "Nursery Rhyme" to Jie Jiang Huashen without any rush.
He cautiously unfurled the Scroll, obsessively admiring every bit of color.
"Incredible... divine... a masterpiece of nature... can this really be a work created by a human?"
Jiang Huashen's works had always had the function of making viewers feel like they were right there in the scene.
During the observation process, Jie Jiang Huashen felt all the emotions and wonders contained within; he felt his brain trembling as countless inspirations erupted in his mind, feeling almost no different from being in heaven.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was on drugs.
Ye Ge didn't quite understand these artists; she didn't feel that much when she looked at it, feeling it was just a pure toy.
It was decent enough to use as a collectible, though.
Jie Jiang Huashen tremblingly rolled up the Scroll; it seemed he couldn't absorb all these inspirations in one go.
"Are you from the future? Does this painting come from the future me?
Who is the subject of the painting? Does such a being really exist?
I'm certain that no one but me could create such a work.
If you answer that it's me from a future point in time, I won't be surprised at all."
Ye Ge: "Something like that."
"As I thought. Being able to hold this work means you can be trusted."
【You satisfied a family member's pursuit of art, reward: 10 Attribute Points】
【With your help, Jiang Huashen obtained a massive amount of inspiration at once, reward: 50 Attribute Points】
【Attribute Points to be allocated: 90】
Ye Ge: "???"
Holy crap, an angel investor!
No matter the space-time, Lao Jiang really is a major source of Attribute Points!
To think I could harvest so many Attribute Points!
Invincible!
Now that things have come to this, I must allocate points!
Activate 【Support】 for me; I'm going to give my family members some serious cheats!
After her Mental Power reached five hundred, Ye Ge was naturally unwilling to be a hoarder anymore.
【Successfully consumed 60 Attribute Points, "Support" function activated】
Yes, just like that!
There are more things I can do now.
