There is One New Rule Every Month Globally-Chapter 529 - 360: "How did that little brain of yours grow?" _2

Chen Yi sighed weakly as he got up and walked toward his bedroom, "I'm going to sleep now, after casting all day I'm dead tired."

Tuberculosis Rabbit watched Yi's departing figure and after exchanging a glance, they continued their spirited discussion about the rankings in the Wonder Atlas.

...

The next day.

October 17th, 7 a.m.

Awaking from his slumber, Chen Yi went up to the rooftop, lazily stretched while looking at the sunrise, and let out an extremely satisfied yawn.

Perhaps he stretched too vigorously.

The yawn was so intense that he ended up with a cramp in his jaw, the excruciating pain made him grimace and sit down on the beach chair, massaging his chin.

All muddled...

He was a player with over a hundred million HP, how could his jaw cramp up?

But just as he considered whether to use "Forever Pure" to fix his spasming jaw, a panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

'Ding, you have been forcibly invited into an unknown plane, please prepare yourself, player Chen Yi.'

Chen Yi hadn't had a chance to react when the next moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in a vast white space, surrounded by what looked like tens of thousands of players staring blankly at him.

At some point, he had been bound by no less than four or five chains, completely immobilizing him.

Beyond these, there was one particularly thick chain, covered in rust.

Looking down at the chains on his body, Chen Yi's face darkened slightly, and a hint of fury flashed deep in his eyes.

He recognized these chains.

He had seen them during his time with the White Phoenix Clan, they were chains used to bind deities, and even a fragment was an SSS-grade prop with only the effect of binding.

Single and pure.

And now these things were once again used on him, not one but five of them.

Additionally, there was one chain he hadn't seen before, and the pop-up panel in front of his eyes also revealed the effect of this chain.

'Ding, you have been bound by the Magic-Binding Chains, all your titles, skills, and props will be unusable for one hour, and cannot be removed by any means.'

That's not right.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on the especially large, rusty chain. He seemed to have seen it before too, on the deities bound at the White Phoenix Clan.

Although he didn't know what was happening, it seemed like someone was making a move against him again.

"Sigh."

He let out a long sigh, then raised his head to look calmly at the group in front of him, "I actually enjoy a peaceful life, and these sorts of unannounced invitations really bother me."

"No matter who you are, you and the race behind you are as good as dead."

As soon as he finished speaking,

a bald man, his upper body naked and covered with tattoos, walked over to Chen Yi with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He proceeded to lightly press the long knife in his hand against Chen Yi's chest.

"You've killed players from the Ninefold Planet and yet you can still make such threats in such a predicament."

"Do you think you'll be able to leave here alive today?"

Chen Yi, bound in chains at the center of the space, twisted his neck to look at the bald man and chuckled, "Do you think I will die here today?"

"Maybe."

The bald man tossed aside the long knife casually, clapped his hands, then with his hands in his pockets, he looked at Chen Yi with an expressionless face and said, "There's something I need to ask you. If you answer truthfully, I might spare your life today."

"If the answers don't satisfy us, then you'll be leaving your life behind here today."

"Given that you can't use any titles, skills, or props, I can't understand where you're getting the confidence to speak to us like this. Maybe you're still hoping to resurrect through Heavy Hell?"

"Let me tell you, even if you die here today, not only will you be unable to resurrect from hell, but not even your status as a Seed Player will save you."

"..."

Chen Yi exhaled softly without speaking. The swagger of these Seed Players was too low; how come there were so many ways to counter them? "Go ahead, ask what you want."

"Sensible."

The bald man's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Chen Yi closely for a moment before speaking slowly and deliberately, "When Jiang Chenglu last contacted you, did he say anything to you?"

"And how exactly did you kill Jiang Chenglu? Was it intentional for him to be killed by you?"

"Did he talk to you about any quest chains or anything like that?"

"..."

Chen Yi stared at the bald man in front of him, his face turning serious as he began to smile, "No, he didn't say anything. I was able to kill Jiang Chenglu purely because of my great strength. Jiang Chenglu was no match for me."

As his words ended,

a grating alarm sounded from within the arms of the bald man, who then pulled out something that looked like a lie detector from his chest and examined the panel for a long time before looking emotionlessly towards Chen Yi.

"Truthfulness 0%."

"Pretty good, I thought you might tell me at least half the truth."

"It seems like before we continue our conversation, we should first have some peaceful exchange."

The bald man took a pair of pliers from one of his subordinates, placed one of Chen Yi's fingers in them, and said word by word with a vicious tone, "I'll ask one more time, what did Jiang Chenglu tell you?"

"Um, can I ask a question first, just..."

Before Chen Yi's words could finish,

a sudden, crisp, breaking sound filled everyone's ears.

The bald man's face twisted with fury as he clamped the pliers with force. He then looked at Chen Yi's finger, now a bloody pulp in the center of the pliers, "I ask, you answer. One more word of nonsense and I'll waste your next finger."

"..."

Chen Yi fell silent for a long while before feeling the pain in his index finger and muttering resentfully, "Damn it, you really went for it, huh?"

"Did you think we were just trying to scare you?"

"No, that wasn't it. I just didn't expect you to be so decisive. It really hurts."

"It's supposed to hurt. If you don't cooperate nicely, it'll hurt even more!"

"Hmm... You guys have a funny way of talking. Answer a question for me first. Which planet are you from, and did someone from the Ninefold Planet approach you, wanting to know how to advance to the Tenfold Planet?"

"Looking for revenge?"

"Yes, there always has to be something on my mind. Living without a thought is pointless. I wouldn't think of answering even if you continue torturing me."

"Alright, I'll make it clear for you. We are from the Nissan Clan of Fivefold Planet. There was a player from Ninefold Planet who asked us to find you, but we don't know the name of that Ninefold player or from which planet he is."

"Understood."

Chen Yi nodded seriously, "So the props were also given by that Ninefold player."

"Yes."

"A Ninefold player taking me down shouldn't be difficult, theoretically there's no need to send you. Could it be some rule restriction or for some reason, the Ninefold player couldn't find me?"

Chen Yi tapped his forehead thoughtfully.

At that moment—

The impatient bald man in front of Chen Yi squeezed the pliers in his hand more tightly once again, "Stop digressing, answer my previous question. If the lie detector goes off again, pray that your bones are tough enough."

"Hiss!"

The renewed wave of intense pain made Chen Yi involuntarily inhale a breath of cold air, and then he looked rather unpleasantly at the bald man in front of him, "That's really rude, you know. I hate it when people use pliers on my fingers."

The next second!

The class 'Magic Thief Group Envoy' activated.

Suddenly, all the items, titles, and skills on tens of thousands of players including the bald man in front of him were forcibly rented to Chen Yi without a deposit.

Most of the players were instantly stripped bare, even their cosmetic outfits were rented by Chen Yi.

Including the chains that had bound him, they were rented by him as well.

"Ah, crap!"

Having regained his freedom, Chen Yi stretched his limbs before picking out some healing props from a pile of temporarily rented items, and without checking, smashed them all onto his mangled finger, which instantly healed.

Then Chen Yi slowly took out the pair of pliers he had rented from his virtual backpack, looked at the bald man in front of him with a smile curled on his lips,

"Like playing with pliers, huh?"

"That's really rude."

"Let me teach you how this thing should be played with."
