Actually, even without Li Si saying it, he could pretty much confirm—

As long as the special players Li Si identified were indeed his clones...

Then, in this era, Exile City was most likely a major clone headquarters!

Not to mention, based on what Li Si revealed earlier—

The first thing Moon People must experience upon entering Exile City is undergoing the "Sacred Rite."

And this so-called "Sacred Rite" is also related to the Formless Tree...

Therefore, one couldn't help but suspect that the so-called "Sacred Rite" in Exile City had a very high probability of being a process for Moon People players to bind themselves to a "Formless Leaf"!

If that was the case, the entire Exile City might very well be full of his clones!

Even if they hadn't reached the level of Real Clones with shared consciousness, they should still be bound to the same boat by the Formless Tree.

As long as clone skills could be used in Exile City, then those players bound by the Formless Tree, even without sharing consciousness with Jiang Ye, could still be used as clones!

So, of course, Jiang Ye would go and investigate Exile City in this era.

What he was even more curious about was, aside from Exile City, the largest clone headquarters, where else might his clones be.

And how did Li Si know about the clones scattered in other places?

Li Si originally thought Jiang Ye would be most interested in Exile City.

He never expected that the special players outside Exile City seemed to attract Jiang Ye's attention even more.

However, since Li Si wasn't planning to hide anything anyway, he continued his introduction:

"There's another one, a rather special existence among Moon People players."

"I myself was a Moon People player for quite a long time."

"And that existence has existed for much, much longer than I have."

"It's no exaggeration to say that when I first became a Moon Person, that existence seemed to already be standing at the pinnacle of Moon People players."

"I'm even convinced that existence isn't afraid of Sun People players."

"Furthermore, if it weren't for the recent announcement stating that the moon infant born this time was the 'first,' I would have suspected that existence was the moon infant."

From Li Si's words, it wasn't hard to see—

His desire to obtain the "Rebirth state" and become a moon infant was probably influenced by that special existence.

So...

Li Si continued: "That special existence is referred to as the 'Boss' by ordinary Moon People players." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Just join any regular prison that can accommodate you, and you'll have a chance to come into contact with that 'Boss.'"

"However, timing-wise, you might have to wait another dozen or so hours."

"The current time in the Land of Exile is around seven or eight in the morning."

"And the opportunity for Moon People in prison to meet that 'Boss' is only around zero o'clock."

"..."

Jiang Ye's heart pounded as he listened.

When he was gathering information from Du Yuheng and He Yuliang, he also heard them mention the so-called "Boss."

But at the time, he had no concept of it and thought the "Boss" was just particularly strong within the "Adolescent Personality Reconstruction School," that one prison.

He never expected that the "Boss" wasn't just strong in one particular prison.

But was at the very pinnacle of the entire pyramid of Moon People players!

That was the genuine, bona fide "Boss"!

And such an existence had a very high probability of also being Jiang Ye's clone!

According to Li Si, a clone that has existed for a very long time?

If calculated by time... it might very well be a variant clone of the Pure Black Body?

But does a Pure Black Body clone have eyeballs that can be peeled off?

And also...

Jiang Ye couldn't help but press further: "How did you, of all people, discover that the peeled eyeballs of such a top-of-the-pyramid existence could project images?"

"And didn't you tell me it was during the last 'solar eclipse' that you first discovered that special player with abnormal eyeballs in Exile City?"

"Could it be that after that 'solar eclipse,' you also encountered that 'Boss'?"

Li Si fell silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling to say more.

In the end, he only confessed: "I did see that 'Boss' again after that 'solar eclipse.'"

"In fact, the reason I managed to escape unscathed from the strange events in Exile City during that 'solar eclipse' is partly thanks to that 'Boss.'"

"If you truly want to contact special players, then go meet that 'Boss' yourself around zero o'clock and judge for yourself."

"If you don't want to believe it, that's fine too. Didn't I provide you with other directions?"

"Besides Exile City and that 'Boss,' there's another direction, in Qiankun Land."

"In Qiankun Land, there's an abandoned mental hospital housing a group of somewhat peculiar Sun People players."

"And among this group of Sun People players, there are a few individuals diagnosed as 'mentally ill'—"

"They are Sun People by identity, yet they advocate the theory of 'sun and moon sharing the same guilt.'"

"That is, they believe not only Moon People are guilty, but Sun People are guilty too."

"Those few mental patients are dedicated to researching Moon People and researching the Exile Fruit."

"I was fortunate enough to purchase a few modified Exile Fruits from those mental patients as a result of their research."

Here, Li Si specifically added for Chen Cang's benefit: "The Exile Fruit I told you about earlier, the one that gave me the 【Hidden Hand】, also came from those mental patients."

"It was also while obtaining the Exile Fruits that I discovered these mental patients had specifically bred a batch of captive Moon People."

"And among that batch of captive Moon People they bred, I saw special players—the kind with abnormal eyeballs—more than once."

Li Si's words didn't sound like a lie.

And not long ago, Jiang Ye's Guiwen clone perspective did indeed hear Li Si say that some Sun People players specifically researched the Exile Fruit, and that his 【Hidden Hand】 Glyph Pattern Ability was also obtained from a special Exile Fruit.

However, what surprised Jiang Ye was—

Logically, Qiankun Land has no mist.

Then, if his clones existed in Qiankun Land, he should have sensed them directly, just like he sensed the ten thousand Puppet Clones earlier, right?

But earlier, when using the "Cheng Lin" clone to ride the Mist Train and reach the area of Qiankun Land.

He indeed only sensed those ten thousand Puppet Clones and didn't sense the existence of any other clones.

So under those circumstances, Jiang Ye assumed Qiankun Land only had those ten thousand Puppet Clones.

But now, Li Si says there are other clones in Qiankun Land...

So why didn't Jiang Ye sense those clones?

Could it be that he misunderstood, and those abnormal eyeballs aren't a marker of clones?

Or perhaps, there's some other reason?

For example, that abandoned mental hospital is also shrouded in mist?

Jiang Ye instinctively wanted to ask this question.

But he instantly realized that if he rashly asked such a question, given Li Si's sharpness, he would definitely be able to pick up on some clues from his inquiry.

Therefore, after a moment of thought, Jiang Ye deliberately furrowed his brows and said:

"An Exile City I can't go to without qualification; a 'Boss' I can't meet until zero o'clock; and another one, an abandoned mental hospital in Qiankun Land who knows how far away from here..."

"Which of these directions you've pointed out for me is one I can actually access right now?"
