"...We tried to find the source of the communication based on the signal, and finally tracked it to a villa group on the edge of the suburbs. The villa group was very large, and it was very difficult to confirm the specific location."
"..."
"If there is another conversation, we may be able to accurately track each other's location, but... the only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that Meng Wanzhu is indeed located in this area."
"..."
"Don't worry, maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought. I have sent additional personnel to investigate the suburbs. I believe there will be results soon..."
"..."
"All we need is a little time."
The basement, which was constantly echoing with the hum of the old game cabin, was filled with only the mature and deep voice of a woman, and another quiet and steady breathing. It seemed that there was no response from the other party. That woman The woman's pleasant-sounding voice began to sound anxious: "It only takes two days... no, just one day. Don't act rashly, do you hear me?"
"...I'm listening, princess."
"Don't call me princess!"
The voice on the other end of the call paused for a moment, and then became louder as the woman's emotions fluctuated: "It was like this before, I would accommodate myself to everything, and I promised like a perfect man, but behind my back I was stubborn. You have to be like an old stubborn! Can't you just think about the consequences of doing things? Can't you think about others a little? Can't you change your old habit of being impulsive? Can't you..."
"Can't you just trust your companions for once?"
"...The situation is no longer the same. The opponent's advantage is obviously much greater. In order to avoid possible risks, we also severed the superficial relationship early..."
"You also know that it's just on the surface! You clearly know that I can't just leave you alone! You, you...can you stop being alone and consider the help of us people first? OK?"
"... Rushing a helping hand will not help certain situations, but will involve more innocent people."
With a faint breath, Duan Qing, who was lying in the game cabin, turned his gaze to the top of the game cabin: "With this in mind, I will move away from the original place, otherwise...the Chu family will be destroyed." Wouldn’t it be better to get involved and make the situation even more chaotic?”
"The Chu family is now involved." The woman on the other side of the communication said in a serious voice: "The huge shock that occurred within the Chu family is definitely not untargeted. There must be outsiders who put their hands in. Even if you don't do those unnecessary actions, What is supposed to happen will still happen!”
"No, this is just a choice Chu...that woman made in this situation." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed: "There are many choices in this world, some are forced, and some are voluntary. … If I don’t do it, something else will soon force me to do it, it’s that simple.”
"……how do you know?"
"Of course I know."
The argumentative words paused for a moment as Duan Qing stopped: "I've known it since three years ago."
"..."
"At that time, I also tried to use certain postures to resist."
Sensing the choking of the other party's words, Duan Qing continued to talk to himself as if there was no one else: "Although I regret it now, looking at it from the current perspective... those actions at the time seemed very ridiculous."
"Aren't you... still not going to explain what happened in the past?"
Without answering the probing question that the other party hesitantly asked at the end, Duan Qing's eyes followed his frozen lying-sitting posture and did not leave the top of the game cabin for a long time, until the other side of the communication, which was somewhat unbearable, erupted again. When the noise started, he calmly retracted his hand raised to the sky: "Since they have broken the ban, they will probably continue to tighten their pockets by any means. If the provocations continue here, let's finally say It may not be worth the loss..."
"Let all your people withdraw." He shook his head slowly: "I will handle the rest of the problems myself."
"No, I won't sit idly by." Lou Yushang's cold voice immediately sounded a warning on the other end of the communication: "If you leave me again, I will jump off the third floor myself."
"...Then I'm relieved, the third floor is so short..."
"No one is kidding you, bastard! You, if you don't tell me...I will make our relationship public and let them deal with me!"
"...Okay, okay, just calm down."
Another heavy sigh appeared in Duan Qing's mouth, and at the same time, there was a headache expression on his face: "Let's not be anxious, wait until what kind of trump card they show next time, here. In the meantime...I will find a way to deal with Mengzhu's matter, okay?"
"...you? What can you do?"
"There are plenty of ways, so you don't have to worry about it."
His eyes lingered on a certain avatar next to him for a moment, and Duan Qing's voice became a little more relaxed: "The key question now is...how do they plan to hide it from the eyes of the alliance and the public?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Don't forget, the qualifiers are still in progress."
Pointing at the piles of game news that were still scrolling on the side of the screen, Duan Qing said with a slight smile: "As soon as there is any trouble among the members of the team and club, it will immediately attract people. Large groups of paparazzi, not to mention that in this UEFA Cup qualifier, they have already entered the top 16 of this year's dark horse. If there is one missing person during the game, and he is the captain of the team... …let alone the alliance, even we ourselves can’t explain it.”
"...You want to use public opinion to put pressure on them?"
"They may have already thought of countermeasures."
Silently admitting his answer, Duan Qing gradually put away the smile in his voice: "Or maybe he has thought about how to explain to the alliance while hiding the truth, but no matter what... Mengzhu will return tomorrow The chances of the game continuing on the field are very high.”
"Although that game will most likely be under their control." The other side of the communication whispered in response: "You... have to admit defeat on purpose, right?"
"It all depends on what they want."
Duan Qing slowly shook his head and adjusted the outcome and schedule of the game: "Since there is such a big battle, they must have higher-level requirements. We The facts we are worried about now may still be beyond our imagination. But in any case, this matter is almost all caused by me. No matter what is behind their series of conspiracies... it will probably be involved in the end. On my head."
"I will act by ear." He said the final conclusion calmly: "This fate... I will also make an end with my own hands."
A slight beeping sound echoed in the silent basement as he hung up the call. At the same time, there was Duan Qing's voice that gradually fell silent and thought. However, Lou Yushang on the other side of the communication was not as expressive as Duan Qing. So calm, he just calmed down for a while before jumping up from his game cabin: "...I don't believe it!"
"You have deceived me every time, and this time it is my turn to deceive you... Ah Fu, come here!"
"……Miss."
"Go and inform the family that we... are going to Xingang!"
Thunderous footsteps then spread forward along Lou Yushang's robe-clad figure, leading an old housekeeper and several strong men in black around them towards the door of the villa, belonging to the Lou family. The convoy then appeared under the increasingly cold night sky and quickly disappeared on the road to the northwest suburbs of Cerulean City. Watching the convoy leaving side by side, several mysterious people lurking near the villa area also took back their surveillance equipment. While cheering up their tiredness, they took out their communication balls: "... …Master, they are setting off.”
"...Understood, we will figure it out."
He hung up the communication, then answered another call again, and then after a few casual explanations, he left the place with his men. Luojiang City, which is located hundreds of miles away from Hualan City in the real world, then saw several waves of mysteriously dressed people. They led their respective subordinates and disappeared into a modern tavern in the bustling city. After a period of calm, After that, there suddenly started a large-scale noise and confusion: "Where did you get stupid-ahhhhhhhh!"
"Boss! Boss! Someone is coming to ruin the place!"
"XX, tell all the brothers to come out! Copycat!"
"Hit me! Beat me as much as you want!"
The chaotic armed fight slowly spread to both sides of the street as the drinkers fled, and soon completely ignited the silent night sky. Mechanical police from around the city soon heard the sound and rushed to the place. All the troublemakers, including the tavern staff, were suppressed. The tavern owner, who was a food stall style tavern owner, begged for an explanation with a dark face and the wounded people on the ground wailed. The captain then quietly appeared on the roof of the building not far away, and after a while of nodding with satisfaction, he took the opened communication ball and submerged into the darkness between the tall buildings: "...This is the fourth team, the mission is completed. ”
"The follow-up matters... will be left to you to handle."
In a commercial building near the city center of Xiashan City, a white-collar man carrying a handbag walked into the elevator with a sweaty face. While lamenting his situation of working overtime so late, he was thinking about an upcoming event. Possibility of competition. Muttering about the continuous slashing techniques practiced by his game character, he stopped a floating taxi that had just passed by the entrance of the building, not noticing the glances from around him that were staring closely at him, and Several seemingly indistinguishable floating vehicles gradually appeared behind him: "...it's him, right?"
"Let's do it first, if not, we'll talk later."
"...Still the same place?"
"Of course, everything is ready."
The slow speed gradually became faster, and the following hover cars quickly left the street near the commercial building, and then disappeared into the dark night city after turning between several traffic lights. Also disappearing into the depths of the Night City were several men dressed as engineers in a high-rise building in another corner of the city, and a short-haired young man who was in charge of directing them. When he finally got off work, he started his hover car, While taking out his communication ball that suddenly sounded: "Hello? What's wrong?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Have you encountered something unsatisfactory again? Or are you not confident about tomorrow's game?"
"Hello? Hello? Chen Qianhe? Chen..."
boom--
Amidst the loud and heart-shaking crash, a hover car that had just turned the corner suddenly passed by the intersection under the building. Then, after knocking the hover car aside, it headed towards the empty building. The road flew away into the distance. It was not until twenty minutes later that the ambulance with red lights and the rescue personnel appeared at the location of the ruined hover car that no one cared about, and pulled out the seriously injured short-haired young man in the car. This scene, recorded by surveillance cameras on the street, quickly appeared on the homepages of major news platforms: "...the citizen who was maliciously hit is called Chen Qianguang, and he is the technical director and main programmer of KC Company. Master, he not only made great contributions to the design and construction of game cabins, but is also a player in the virtual game world..."
"Brother! Brother Qingshan!"
It seems that there is no difference between offline players in other places in the world. Duan Qing, who was sitting in the game cabin, gradually relaxed his contemplative eyes. His eyes that had been glazed over also changed from the one that was playing the news. He lifted up the light screen and placed it on the friend's message that suddenly sounded on the side: "My brother was in an accident! It was a serious car accident. I, I..."
"I won't participate in tonight's training, okay?"
The beeping sound after the message ended occupied Duan Qing's hearing and dispersed his confused expression in the air. After sitting there for a long time, he finally understood something between the two messages. , turned around and logged into the private server belonging to the Fool Adventure Group. The blue sky and white clouds as always became clear in front of him, but there were very few people in front of him. He looked back and forth for a while, and then ran He reached the head of Black Corn, who was looking up at the sky and seemed to be doing nothing: "...Where are the people?"
"I don't know." Black Corn shrugged: "Anyway, I've been here alone since I went online... What's wrong? Your face seems ugly... Hey, hey, hey!"
"……what the hell is this?"
Looking at the opponent's figure that disappeared instantly, the electric gun warrior who was half sitting on the ground came back to his senses after a while: "It doesn't matter if the others don't come, even you, a soul figure, have to let go..."
"I'm afraid I won't automatically forfeit tomorrow's game."
