"Snatched from a player in our zone," He Liang said. "It contains clues to the National Treasure."
This statement shocked everyone present, and Wu Zishuang quickly asked, "Clues to the National Treasure, have you checked them?"
"If I could open this box, would I have waited until now?" He Liang touched the button at the bottom of the box, and a multi-authentication keyboard projection appeared in the air. "Unfortunately, the person was killed too quickly, it requires that player’s biometric authentication."
"I’ve thought of some ways, but this box is an encrypted box released in the last two years, not only is the material special, but there is a custom-made chip inside, if the box is damaged, the chip will activate the self-destruct program."
"The problem is that I don’t know what medium the clues are stored in. If they are directly stored in the chip, wouldn’t opening the box be the end of it?"
"Biometric authentication," Xiao Mei said. "You destroyed the body parts too thoroughly."
"See if you can open it." He Liang pushed the box forward.
A few people gathered together and discussed for a while, but ultimately did not make a decision. The box looked large, but it was uncertain what was inside, what if it was something very important, and breaking it would mean no hope of passing?
"Is there no other person who can open this box?" Fei Jingyi asked. "There must be someone to take over."
He Liang shrugged his shoulders, acted too quickly, didn’t have time to interrogate, and there were no other clues in the luggage compartment.
"Let’s put the box aside for now." Fei Jingyi looked at Fu Kua and Xu Huo, "Do you have any other clues?"
"I found that there seems to be another force interfering with the instance in this division." Xu Huo started speaking first, "I encountered it twice by chance while investigating the National Treasure, they were dressed the same way, habitually covering their faces, in Yu Country here, the temperature is high, many players don’t even bother with shields when they come in, but they always keep their faces covered with props."
"I was investigating a clue related to some member of the Judgement Court, but the other party killed the person I was looking for first."
"If they are also looking for the National Treasure, they shouldn’t kill directly."
"That would be the lingering players." He Liang said. "Maybe someone has targeted you, and intercepted the clue ahead of you during the tracking."
Xu Huo was slightly surprised, "Have lingering players already formed a Player Organization?"
He Liang paused for a moment, this was a direction he hadn’t thought of. It’s quite difficult for unfamiliar players to band together, let alone issues like religious beliefs and cultural bloodline, just having different instances would cause them to have disagreements, there may be many lingering players, but with different people and different instances, who would submit to whom?
"It might not be lingering players," Xiao Mei said. "It could be other player forces in our zone, who don’t want us to bring the National Treasure to Lian Qingkong."
"Lingering players aren’t a local force, how could they quickly master the movements of new arrivals? Just like us, who have just arrived, we’re busy looking for clues, who has the time to assassinate others, the offense side camp definitely doesn’t have that many manpower, and attacking you directly would be faster, why bother with roundabout murder?"
"So it’s probably local forces afraid of offending Outer Zone players."
"Do you think those people are an organization?" Wu Zishuang looked at Xu Huo, "How do you determine that?"
"They carry the same texture of badge." Xu Huo said. "But I couldn’t see the pattern clearly."
"Could the National Treasure be in their hands?" He Liang speculated. "So they want to prevent ticket players from finding them?"
"The person is already dead." Xu Huo implied that the line was no longer investigable.
"The people you talked about might have nothing to do with the instance." Fu Kua spoke up at this time. "Recently, in Zone 039, players have been being abducted in all three countries, and Yongta Country is making quite a fuss about it, with the Execution Team continuously investigating."
"Abducting players from our zone? Or do they not even spare Outer Zone players?" Xiao Mei immediately turned serious.
"As long as they are players." Fu Kua said. "On my way to Yu Country, I rescued a seriously injured player, this news is what he told me, information circulates slowly in Zone 039, but there is already an exchange among the high-levels of the Three Kingdoms, which has caught the attention of the Three Kingdoms’ governments."
"It’s really outrageous, the instance is difficult enough, and there are still black guns being fired." Xiao Mei asked Xu Huo, "Are there any other characteristics, next time run faster if you encounter them."
Xu Huo turned to look at the Girl in the painting, the Girl in the painting understood, took out pen and paper, and drew a very abstract portrait.
"You could be even more abstract." Xiao Mei rolled her eyes.
The Girl in the painting thought for a moment and made some textual notes on the portrait, like the color of the face mask, the material of the clothes, the style of the shoes, and the fact that they don’t speak.
Everyone watched her write slowly, after a while He Liang said, "Are they mute and are you mute too?"
The Girl in the painting took out a communicator, "How did you know?"
He Liang was stifled, "Then write faster!"
The Girl in the painting concentrated on the clothing and dressing style, and Xu Huo added an approximate height, after all, the Battle Doll seemed to be mass-produced, very similar in the same batch.
The group read through and silently memorized the characteristics.
"I haven’t found any useful clues," Fu Kua said. "But I can offer a suggestion."
"We can go find Lian Qingkong, and have him assist us in clearing the instance."
This is an ideal plan, but why don’t the players adopt it directly, instead choosing such a roundabout and insecure way to find partners?
Because they don’t trust the Yu Country Government.
The Yu Country Government might not trust them either, and someone has definitely tried it before, perhaps even the offense side camp has been, which leads to two situations, the positive one is the Yu Country Government is still willing to lend a hand, point them a direction or something, the more negative one is the Yu Country Government might ignore everything and immediately deal with them.
The longer the time passes, the less patience the Yu Country Government has for dungeon players, not to mention how difficult it is to distinguish camps.
"Being driven out is already giving face," Xiao Mei said. "If it were me, if people came to ask me about the instance all year round, I definitely wouldn’t even meet them."
"Not to mention that’s the Yu Country Government, the base camp of the current Chief Governor, who knows what’s inside, what if you can’t come out once you go in?"
"I’ve observed players who entered the Yu Country Government, they went in and came out smoothly, the Yu Country Government didn’t make it difficult for them."
Fu Kua looked at Fei Jingyi, "Besides, didn’t you say that, Lian Qingkong is a person with a very charismatic personality, without special qualities, how can he make people follow him wholeheartedly?"
Alright, now there are three paths ahead.
One is to continue tracking Wu Zishuang’s clues, because the assassin might have leisurely taken the real National Treasure.
Two, delve into the badge Xiao Mei talked about, which was brought by the former Chief Governor to the Supreme God Court, it might be a token, or it might be the National Treasure itself.
Three, seek help from the Yu Country Government.
"Maybe the first thing we should do is open my box." He Liang slightly raised his voice.
