My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game

"Senior, did you know that the Qinling Demon-Sealing Tower is said to be one of the hardest to conquer?"

Wang Shouyi gazed at the ominous mountain range below, his expression grave.

"Out of the nine Demon-Sealing Towers, three are located in treacherous mountain areas, while six are in urban areas. Surprisingly, the ones in the cities aren't as threatening."

"Why?" Chen Huaian asked, puzzled. "Aren't the cities full of ordinary people, who would be easy prey for these monsters? In these remote and barren places, there's nothing but mutated animals from the resurgence of spiritual energy. How could they be the hardest to conquer?"

Wang Shouyi was silent for a moment, frowning as if deep in thought.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze from the desolate landscape below and spoke with a hint of confusion, "Senior, do you remember the issue you asked me to investigate earlier?"

"You mentioned that the spider monsters wouldn't actively attack ordinary people and asked me to find out if it was an exception or if monsters in other areas behaved similarly. I investigated, and indeed, these monsters don't actively attack ordinary people. Their targets are only Ascenders and Awakeners."

"So—" Chen Huaian interjected, "The Demon-Sealing Towers in the cities don't have overly powerful monsters, but those in the wilderness grow stronger by hunting animals that have evolved due to the resurgence of spiritual energy?"

"Exactly," Wang Shouyi nodded.

"These monsters are quite peculiar," Chen Huaian remarked, then asked Wang Shouyi, "What do you think?"

"Monsters that don't kill or eat humans are abnormal," Wang Shouyi said coldly, his eyes indifferent. "There's something strange about this, but no matter what these monsters are thinking... the Honored One said that no monster is good. They all deserve to die, whether it's because of their nature or because they can provide us with materials."

Chen Huaian's mouth twitched slightly.

He could feel the body of Muscle Dominator, perched on his shoulder, stiffen.
