The short-haired female player concealed her dislike for the people in District 019 and walked to several small shops to inquire about the whereabouts of the players who were in the town before.
However, they had no memory of the players coming and going, and they didn't even notice that there were fewer players walking around. Instead, they felt busier because of the new tour group, and there were more people. As for who the tour group was, they It's even less clear.
There are many tourists coming to Dingdinghua Town every day. It is normal for them not to remember. The short-haired female player looked at them as if they were lying. After returning, she said: "I guess these people don't know. If they knew, the players in Area 019 would not use it at all." There is no need to do it so secretly, there are so many people missing, and there will be no trace in the town."
At this point, she vaguely felt something was wrong, "Are these people gone?"
"I don't know." Xu Huo said. Although he didn't sense the impact force nearby, he thought it was a prop or instrument used by the opponent during the fight. If it wasn't used to cover up the traces, it should have been used to force the player away. means.
Xu Huo opened the player panel and searched for more information about this dungeon under Dimensions. In addition to the vague clearance guide, he also read some other notes. No one mentioned that Area 019 was cleaning up foreign players - this That's logical.
If Area 019 has always had this habit, it’s impossible for it to be completely invisible. Is it just a recent thing? Or some unexpected incident?
In a technologically advanced zone and a place where gems are produced, the player strength is certainly not weak. However, when the people are living and working in peace and contentment, there are very few opportunities for players to come forward. For some minor problems, fighting machines will be enough.
Of course, moving the battle to a remote area so as not to affect more people is also part of the strategy.
"It doesn't have to be the District 019 government," the female player with a short hair said after calming down: "It makes no sense at all for them to do this. We are just here to clear the customs and we are not causing trouble in District 019, so why bother?"
"Did someone offend some family force, or was there someone specifically interfering with our clearance?"
Her guess was not completely unreasonable. Xu Huo thought for a moment and said, "Go to the bar."
The short-haired female player nodded, "I want to tell this matter."
The residents of the town go to bed early at night, so you can only ask questions during the day, so there should be no one in the bar at this time, but it doesn't matter, the short-haired female player calls for people while walking, and all the players will inform them, saying that they have something important to share with them. .
Anyone who is interested or not is willing to listen. Anyway, I was wandering around the town, but when I arrived at the bar, I realized that there were only about ten people gathered here.
"Has everyone left?" Someone was surprised. "There were at least thirty players in the town yesterday."
"Did you not come?" Someone else said: "Ding Dinghua Town is not a small town."
Xu Huo paid attention to the two unfamiliar faces that appeared in the bar, and then interrupted everyone's conversation and said, "We may be in trouble."
Everyone in the bar looked at him, and Xu Huo gave the opportunity to speak to the female player.
She briefly talked about the matter, from the suspected death of the curly-haired woman, to the players with scars, to how they rushed back to the town to find that the number of players suddenly dropped sharply, and the speculation that Area 019 was harvesting players.
"The most troublesome thing now is that we don't know who is targeting players in outside areas, and we don't know whether it is just targeting players in this instance, or whether it is the same for everyone."
After hearing what she said, the others first felt incredible. After all, they had been in the town all the time, and any movement could be hidden from them. In addition, the dungeon of "Embell Girl" involved a large area and many people, so it was normal for players to move around frequently.
"Have you ever seen flashes of light in the town?" Xu Huo interjected and asked.
"About three hours ago, it should be more concentrated."
A player immediately reacted, "There were about two relatively high-frequency flashes, which occurred in different places in the town. I thought it was the equipment in the town operating."
There are a variety of instruments in Area 019, including dozens of instruments used to repel insects. Dingdinghua Town is close to the mountains and forests, and there are even more messy instruments, some of which emit light from time to time.
The player who spoke thought about it carefully, then slapped the table, "Looking back now, those flashes are indeed a little different from what I saw in the town two days ago, but no matter how powerful the players in Area 019 are, they can't leave no traces at all. .”
"I have seen the players who came with the tour group today, and their levels are not high."
"They don't necessarily come with the tour group," another female player frowned: "It's not impossible to use props and instruments to flash."
These words undoubtedly covered everyone's heads like a dark cloud. No matter whether they came with the tour group or not, they had taken away so many players from the town and they didn't even notice. Did this mean they were secretly preparing to harvest them? Are people far more powerful than them?
"I said it was so strange..." The bald man sitting in the corner suddenly said: "I have been in the dungeon for more than 20 days. When I first came here, there were many people in Dingdinghua Town, but I didn't touch it even after going around for a while. There are several players in the same dungeon. It stands to reason that people are entering this dungeon all the time. Even if there are enough places, you won’t be completely unable to meet them.”
"It seems that no one has discovered it." The male player who had spoken before stood up quickly, "Does that mean we have become the prey of Area 019?"
"Not necessarily," the female player said: "They regard us as prey. We can't just be beaten passively. District 019 has always been known as peaceful. If this matter is made public, whether it is done by the government or someone else, it will definitely Be restrained."
"Whether they are willing or not, as long as they want to continue to attract foreign customers, they will definitely have to respond."
"We have no evidence." The short-haired girl said, "No one will believe us. And to put it bluntly, it's hard to say whether there are players from Area 019 mixed in here."
Of course, others have thought of this, but this is not the most important thing now. Most of them are C-level players. Once they are targeted and cannot escape from the dungeon, it is very likely that they will really be revealed here.
"So it's best for everyone to act together," the female player said: "Firstly, it will reduce the possibility of something happening, and secondly, if something happens, others can testify."
"I didn't expect that as a player, I would have to rely on public opinion battles to protect myself." A young man said.
"You must not have done a few C-level dungeons." The female player looked back at him. "The more you go there, the more you will know that there are things even more extreme than this. Some places even specialize in hunting down dungeon players, but areas like Area 019 This kind of rule-bound zoning is more beneficial to us.”
