The President of the Yujing Association was about to come forward with a suitable reason, which would conveniently allow for this Mr. Chen to gracefully step down and would also allow those senior players to owe him a favor.

After all, if he were to be invited by the bizarre game to become a player in the future, he could use this favor to ask for help in clearing the instance.

His philosophy of governance was to always leave room for himself.

However, before the President of the Yujing Association could speak, Mr. Chen suddenly disappeared.

"Is this... an invitation from the bizarre game?" Enjoy more content from empire

Although the President of the Yujing Association was not a player, he was not unfamiliar with this scenario, as he had already seen many such records.

"Indeed, it's an invitation." There were quite a few players present, and upon hearing this, they all nodded in agreement.

"But what's going on here? Mr. Chen is a player, but his invitation had already been transferred away, so even if an invitation appeared, it should not be for Mr. Chen..." a Beta-level player couldn't help but say.

This was a veteran member of the Yujing Association, and although his status wasn't high, he knew more secrets than newly joined Alpha-level players.

"Quick, go invite Mr. Si over!" The President of the Yujing Association urged urgently, sensing that something was amiss.

The Mr. Si in question was Si Gu, originally a player of the bizarre game, who later became possessed by a fierce ghost who took over his body to come here. (Mentioned in Chapter 55)

This ghastly soul who had seized a body for its return did not conceal its true identity at all.

The Yujing Association, however, was neither unfamiliar nor afraid of this situation; on the contrary, they warmly invited him to join the Yujing Association and gave him a very high level of treatment.

People were quickly dispatched to find Si Gu, but the one who left returned soon after, without Mr. Si following behind.

"Mr. Si has also disappeared! The waitress over there said that Mr. Si vanished right before her eyes, very suddenly," reported the person who had gone to search for him.

"Then go find Miss Shi! I know where she is!" The President of the Yujing Association spoke up, and this Miss Shi he referred to was named Shi Fangqin, who was also a player of the bizarre game. (As in Chapter 55)

Of course, the situation of this player was the same as Si Gu's.

She also became possessed by a fierce ghost.

However, Shi Fangqin chose not to join the Yujing Association but instead joined a loose force led by "His Excellency."

However, it wasn't long before the President of the Yujing Association learned that Miss Shi Fangqin had also suddenly disappeared. Not only her, but the "His Excellency" who had always been a major concern for the Yujing Association, along with the forces under his command, had vanished without a trace.

Although no one saw it happen, they likely disappeared all of a sudden.

On this day, this world rooted by the bizarre game lost a large number of Alpha-level players possessed by fierce ghosts, as well as a small number of players who enjoyed special privileges.

However, despite such events, the efforts to contact Tan Shuchang never ceased; they even went so far as to speak with those seven under the "City Lord."

"We are only honored to be chosen by His Majesty Wang of the Lángshǒu Ghost City. How could we know the specifics about our king?" The seven nodded in succession, and they did not attempt to hide their reference to Tan Shuchang by name.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty has not taken any action to harm the world, so why keep looking for him? President, don't speak bureaucratically about 'prevention before it happens.' You may not be a player, but as president, you are aware of many things. Shouldn't you realize that His Majesty's power is not something that can be prevented?" The seven inquired proactively.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Well, what else could it be? Some people just want to live forever..." After contemplating for a moment, the President of the Yujing Association spoke the truth, because in his philosophy of governance, being sincere at this time was the way to earn favor.

In the past, the elite at the top of the pyramid were fearful of the peculiar game, as the indiscriminate invitations posed the gravest threat. Later, once the first Alpha-level player of the Yujing Association intervened and transferred away the invitations for the peculiar game's instances from those people, they still kept their respectful distance.

But everything changed after it was discovered that the Master of the Ghost City was a player and this player became one of the three kings within the bizarre game.
