Chapter 408 - Impartial

“Their… their bodies have been taken over?” Zhao Meng looked suspiciously at the sinister-looking players, that was when he understood the hate behind their glare.

Unsure of it himself, but once Zhao Meng understood that there was something wrong with the players - he felt happy. He had the mischievous feeling of happiness when it was at the expense of someone's else. Before hearing that statement from Liu Gan, Zhao Meng wanted to beat these ungrateful players up. However, once he knew about the soul seizing capsules, it was the best retribution. To strengthen the body, but lose their soul in the process. It was ironic. These players must have felt despair and regret inside the capsule.

“Their current reaction matches my speculation. Seems like there was a conspiracy behind the creation of the Beginner Village. It has been planned for a long time. They were probably waiting for someone like me - a strong player. Now is their chance to execute their plan,” Liu Gan stood up from the chair.

“Beginner Village’s conspiracy plan?” Zhao Meng raised his eyebrow at that term. This was the first time he heard of this, so he was wondering how this laboratory can tie up with the village?

“Whether you want to or not, you will enter the reward capsule!” one brave player challenged Liu Gan. These players have changed from their former selves; they stood upright with chests out and had stern expressions with a malicious look in their eyes.

“Lord Liu, what are these people now?” Zhao Meng shivered from a cold chill that went down his spine. He was afraid and glad at the same time. He was afraid because he couldn't understand what was going on; he was glad because he had listened to Liu Gan’s advice to not enter the capsule. If he didn't listen, then he would've met the same fate as the players who entered into the capsule.

“Look at their standing posture and have you noticed their tone? I think they have been trained in the military,” Liu Gan walked up to Zhao Meng.

“Soldiers?” Zhao Meng and Jiang JinYuan were more confused.

“I am only speculating, that might not be the exact truth. The original players with us, their souls are no longer in their bodies. After the injection, their body was injected with the souls of soldiers. However, the body and soul needs time to synchronize, before the soldiers soul can control the body completely,”

“I refused to enter the capsule. So the current situation has changed, they are forced to act. If I don't enter the capsule, they can't accomplish their mission. They need my body to host one of their important fellow soldiers. Their only option is to pin me down inside the capsule,” Liu Gan explained to Zhao Meng.

“Then… the original souls… the ones with us. What happened to them?” Zhao Meng asked Liu Gan.

“The original souls are forced aside to the backseat, with the new souls taking up reins of the body. The original souls could only watch their bodies being manipulated. There is nothing the original souls can do since the new souls are stronger.
