**Chapter 537: Everyone's Being Honest?**
Was the Bose Body's horn supposed to turn into a dazzling light bulb or what?
If it kept flashing like that, it was going to blind everyone!
Finally, after a rapid burst of flickering, the horn went completely dark!
It returned from a deep crimson back to a crystal-clear color!
The Bose Body had no energy left at all, falling into absolute weakness!
Piers and the Magician seized the opportunity to rush forward, desperately trying to capture the Bose Body!
The conflict continued!
At that moment, Mountain Cat and the others were hiding in the apartment, nearly frantic with worry!
They quickly grabbed their earpieces: "Xiao Nan, get out of there! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to escape!"
The Bose Body's defeat was inevitable. Without her support, once Piers and the Magician freed themselves, Jiangnan would surely die!
At this moment, Jiangnan was still being chased by the pursuing army!
His heart was filled with extreme anxiety!
He didn't want to watch the Unicorn Big Sister get captured, nor did he want to see her die!
The reason he kept lingering was to see if there was any chance!
But he couldn't do anything to Piers—the gap was too great!
Jiangnan wanted to take her back, back to the Toy House, to give her a new home in this world!
But given the current situation, he'd be lucky to save his own skin!
How could he possibly take the Bose Body away in full view of everyone?
Jiangnan's mind raced, running through every trick he had!
The result was… nothing!
The gap in strength was too vast, like clouds and mud!
Even if he used every means available, he couldn't snatch her from Piers's hands!
Jiangnan's eyes were bloodshot, his steel-like teeth nearly shattered!
"Why won't you listen to me!"
He teleported all the way to the edge of Central Park and glanced back!
He saw Piers's left hand blasting out: "Space Tremor!"
The charging Magician was sent flying!
Meanwhile, his right hand aimed at the Bose Body: "Absolute Confinement! Heavenly Prison!"
Space walls formed on all sides, completely imprisoning the Bose Body!
Now she didn't even have the strength to struggle!
But her delicate face was filled with resolve. Perhaps she had always known this would be the outcome, yet she still chose revenge!
Success or failure no longer mattered—at least Jiangnan had helped her vent her anger!
She had no regrets. Even if she died, she wouldn't be taken back to Zone 53!
That place where she had been locked up for fifteen years!
The aura around the Bose Body grew increasingly dangerous. The Bose particles composing her body began to collide and annihilate on their own!
She wanted to end her life!
No regrets! Nothing to hold onto!
Really… nothing?
At the last moment, her ice-blue eyes couldn't help but turn toward Jiangnan in the distance!
She saw Jiangnan, his eyes red, his expression incredibly serious, slowly shaking his head at her!
"Don't die! Wait for me!"
Although she couldn't hear what Jiangnan said, the Bose Body could still guess his words from his lip movements!
In an instant, she felt as if something had exploded in her chest!
This emotion was so overwhelming, so intense!
She stared blankly at Jiangnan, the dangerous aura within her gradually fading!
She stopped the self-destruction process!
Unable to help herself, she curled up into a ball, letting Piers imprison her with Absolute Confinement…
At that moment, she seemed so helpless!
The Bose Body bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes squeezed shut: "What am I hoping for?"
"No! Impossible! Don't fool yourself!"
She was still captured by Piers!
Jiangnan let out a long sigh of relief!
As long as she wasn't dead, that was good!
Not dead meant there was still a chance. This wasn't over yet!
Wait for me!
Then, gritting his teeth, he turned and, using teleportation combined with the Extreme-Speed Slipper, fled headlong into the Metropolis!
How could the pursuing army let Jiangnan go? They all rushed out of Central Park and chased him into the Metropolis!
The data was still on Jiangnan!
Seeing Piers capture the Bose Body, the Magician's face turned the color of pig liver!
The Bose Body was lost to him, but he couldn't leave empty-handed!
Remembering the Light God Sovereign's instructions, the Magician gritted his steel teeth and went straight after Jiangnan!
No matter how afraid he was, he had to seize the data!
Piers looked at the curled-up Bose Body with satisfaction. Although the losses were significant, at least he had recaptured her!
"Buffett, when can the high-beam plasma cage be transferred here?"
Buffett hung up the phone: "It'll be here in half an hour. The data is still on Jiangnan, what do you think…?"
Piers sneered: "No rush. I need to maintain the Absolute Zone, so I can't leave."
"Once the cage arrives, I'll make my move. Half an hour—as long as Jiangnan doesn't escape from the country, I can retrieve the data. Rest assured!"
Only then did Buffett feel at ease. Looking at the captured Bose Body with a cruel expression, he said viciously:
"Once you're back in Zone 53, you'll pay! We have plenty of ways to deal with you! Let's see if you dare to run again!"
The Bose Body remained silent, only clasping her hands together as if in prayer…
Did you remember that promise?
I didn't die…
So you absolutely have to escape alive too!
Jiangnan fled into the Metropolis with the fake data, his mind racing!
Piers had captured the Bose Body and seemed unable to leave for now!
He needed to find a way to get rid of the data in his hands quickly, find someone to take the fall and divert the heat!
Then he had to escape as fast as possible and rendezvous with Mountain Cat and the others!
At this moment, the battlefield had expanded to the skyscrapers of the entire Metropolis!
Jiangnan used the superior mobility of a Space System to flee like crazy!
Meanwhile, near Central Park!
Qian Benying and Liuhua teleported through the sky above the city. Liuhua's eyes shimmered with a hazy purple light as she scanned the buildings!
It was Liuhua's detection technique, "Eye of Truth"!
The two had almost searched every nearby block!
Qian Benying: "Still haven't found them? That can't be right. Not much time has passed—they couldn't have gone far…"
"Was I wrong?"
Just then, Liuhua exclaimed in surprise: "I sense their aura! It's in that apartment building!"
Qian Benying's eyes lit up: "I knew it!"
Inside the apartment building!
Seeing Jiangnan escape, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing went wrong, with Jiangnan's skills, he could definitely get away!
Mountain Cat: "Pack up. Erase all traces. Wait for Xiao Nan to rendezvous with us, then we leave. Shouhou, what's the escape route?"
Shouhou nodded: "It's arranged. We're leaving from the Vegas airport!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Qian Benying appeared in the apartment's living room with Liuhua!
"Oh ho ho? Where do you think you're going? You're not going anywhere!"
Seeing Qian Benying standing in the living room with her hands on her hips, everyone's scalps went numb, and their hairs stood on end!
Holy crap! How did Qian Benying track them down?
This was bad!
She was a Diamond-level Space System user—none of them here were a match for her!
Tieniu gritted his teeth: "Everyone go first! I'll hold her off—"
Qian Benying waved her little hand: "Space Compression!"
In an instant, the space of the entire apartment became as hard as metal, violently compressing everyone's bodies!
Mountain Cat and the others were frozen in place, unable to move!
Qian Benying smirked triumphantly: "The data Jiangnan has is fake! The real one is with you, right?"
Heiya nodded: "Of course! The real data is on me. I hid it in my shadow!"
Qian Benying: ???
Eh? That was easier than expected?
After speaking, Heiya himself was dumbfounded, clamping his mouth shut!
Damn it! Why did I just say that?!
At this moment, Shouhou and the others looked at Heiya with murderous intent!
"Dammit! How could you just confess like that? Are you even trying to be loyal?"
"Yeah, yeah! They haven't even tortured you yet!"
"Dead Heiya! Is your mouth made of worn-out pants fabric or something?"
"Traitor! A big traitor! I never thought you'd be this kind of person!"
Heiya was going crazy. He had no idea why he'd just blurted that out!
I can't control myself, dammit!
Qian Benying sat down on a stool, crossed her legs, and said with satisfaction: "Pretty smart of you to know when to give in! So what's your plan?"
Shouhou: "We had it all planned out. As soon as Nan Shen got the data, he'd use a space wormhole to pass it to Heiya. Then he'd run with the fake one to draw attention and give us a chance to escape!"
Xuexiaoban: "That's right! Everyone's chasing Nan Shen for the fake data! We have the real one!"
Tieniu: "The plan is called the 'Fire Seed Plan.' Once Nan Shen shakes off the pursuers, we're going to Vegas and take a flight back to the country using fake identities!"
Katerina: "And the key is on Nan Shen! Only he can unlock the data's security program!"
Mountain Cat: "Mm-hmm, they're all correct! Also, you stink so bad!"
The group scrambled to spill every single detail of the plan!
Not a single bit was left out!
At that moment, the room fell into absolute silence!
Heiya exploded: "Pfft! And you guys have the nerve to talk about me? Why not just tell her what flight we're taking tomorrow and which gate we're boarding from?"
Shouhou: "Vegas airport tomorrow, Gate 3, flight at 8:51!"
Heiya: ...
You actually said it!
Everyone's eyes went wide with terror as they clamped their mouths shut!
What the hell?
Why can't we stop ourselves from blurting out the truth?
We can't control it at all!
Qian Benying: ...
"Are you guys really this willing to throw your teammates under the bus?"
