Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

During a certain period in the history of Yu Country, the descendants of Peng Guan and the Supreme God Sect overlapped, meaning that the descendants of Peng Guan were not completely wiped clean over succeeding generations after the death of the Gao rulers, as recorded in history. Neither were the Supreme God Sect suppressed by successive rulers following the reign of the Gao surname.

Whether the descendants of Peng Guan infiltrated and controlled the Supreme God Sect, or the Supreme God Sect utilized the descendants of Peng Guan to gain military power, it was certainly not aimless for the previous Chief Governor to take the token and seek the Supreme God believers at the Judgement Court. The current government’s investigation concludes that the Supreme God Court had no strength to assist Gao Hui and was entirely eradicated afterwards.

Yet, the Supreme God Sect’s ability to establish a Judgement Court after centuries suggests there must be some profit involved. Due to years of war, the people of Yu Country have lost their faith, indicating that if the Supreme God Sect cannot sway public opinion, it must represent other forces.

The information gathered by Lian Qingkong’s government investigation is evidently limited, yet they remain convinced that there is no notion of "legitimacy." It is possibly because the person or token required to prove the legitimacy of the regime lacks the foundation for emergence, or even if such proof exists, it cannot change the current situation.

This somewhat convinces Xu Huo that perhaps the assassin family where Peng Guan resides may indeed have been passed down to this day.

As for those players who were assassinated, they actually have become unimportant now. As long as the so-called "National Treasure" doesn’t appear again, their deaths hold no value, even if it leads to the specific assassin.

Looking at it this way, the value of Wu Zishuang’s clues greatly diminishes, and Xiao Mei’s clues are likewise, perhaps the Yu Country Government will soon be able to produce the genuine article.

The government players have calculated the time to serve the guests away, He Liang reluctantly said: "Finding the National Treasure benefits you too, at least show us some material..."

Seeing no response from the other party, he added: "Help open a box, at least."

The player serving them, cold as ice, remarked, "The National Treasure is merely a legend without evidence. Even if someone brings it now, it can only serve as a mascot. Our country maintains stability thanks to the efforts of the Chief Governor and players. Our legitimacy does not need a National Treasure for validation."

Clearly, there is little regard for the National Treasure within the Yu Country Government, aside from occasional trouble brought by Outer Zone players. Perhaps it’s due to their blood, sweat, and tears in creating the current scenario, yet facing skepticism because of a rumor.

"Please!" the other party said.

The group can only walk out, Xu Huo at the last, asking before exiting, "Was this segment recorded by Mr. Lian Qingkong personally?"

The player did not answer his question, but the restless expression already answered it.

After leaving the government building, He Liang said: "Does it matter if Lian Qingkong recorded it? Anyway, based on this attitude, the Yu Country Government won’t offer any help to Outer Zone players."

This was merely a guess of Xu Huo. According to the recording, the National Treasure does not exist and is ineffective. Faced with Outer Zone players persistently finding their way, even resorting to kidnappings, coercions, and murders of government personnel and their families for clues, the Yu Country Government could completely disclose unimportant historical data instead of just giving conclusions.

Of course, damage to materials might be one aspect, but since records survived from the war twenty years ago without damage, damage afterwards when Lian Qingkong seized power seems unlikely. Even if lost, capable individuals could have rewritten the documents after reading them. Not doing so can only suggest those documents contained indeed crucial clues, and Lian Qingkong hid some information.

At the very least, Lian Qingkong knows exactly what the so-called "National Treasure" refers to.

Outside, Wu Zishuang and Xiao Mei’s devices were blocked, unaware of the recording. After coming out, Fei Jingyi recounted it for them, and after hearing, Xiao Mei clapped hands, "Settled, Lian Qingkong definitely knows what the National Treasure is. Just listen to political figures the opposite way round!"

Although from a different angle, Wu Zishuang also agreed with this view, "The earthquake event three hundred years ago must have been concealed by the ruling class, hence no trace in historical records. This way, there must be some secrets about the National Treasure that only circulate at the national high-level circle."

"Isn’t this failing then?" He Liang said: "Every ruler of Yu Country gets rid of their predecessor’s genealogy thoroughly, emperors change seats rotationally; over hundreds of years, those influential families and forces probably have all rotated through. Where to find their descendants now?"

"Lian Qingkong must be informed." Fei Jingyi remarked.

"We probably cannot deal with Lian Qingkong." Fu Kua said: "Not only is the government office area sealed, but he himself is quite formidable. Many Rank-A might not be his match."

Thus, breaking into the government building or kidnapping Lian Qingkong is impracticable. He himself has no relatives, and those closely related are like-minded player companions. Targeting one would be akin to poking a hornet’s nest.

And those remotely related are either truly little-known or unimportant, incapable of affecting Lian Qingkong.

Even Gao Hui, who provided the needle-in-a-haystack path, is dead, his body handled by the government, so now it seems only other avenues can be explored.

"What do you say the National Treasure really is?" Fu Kua said: "I think Lian Qingkong might be hiding the National Treasure. Not revealing it to shatter other player forces’ illusions—is it inability, or intentional?"

"Could it be he has revealed it before, but no one believes?" Xiao Mei said: "Even if it’s genuine, others might not necessarily acknowledge it."

"Then is the core task of this instance not centered on the National Treasure?" He Liang pressed the table hard, "Our mission priority might actually be to help Lian Qingkong block other player organizations’ ambitions?"

"Who can accomplish that?" Wu Zishuang raised his glasses, "Unless all those player organization leaders are wiped out, but the government may not allow it, right?"

Player organizations are also among the components of Yu Country’s power, the current balanced condition intimidating neighboring countries has already been tremendous.

The crowd fell silent, momentarily.

The clues they painstakingly unearthed were mostly discarded; lacking a better point of entry, it seems like the entire region is blocking their path.

"Hey." Xiao Mei suddenly looked in a certain direction, "Masked figure."

Everyone followed his gaze and indeed saw a person on the rooftop of a building hundreds of meters away, similar in description to Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting.

"Targeting you or us?" Xiao Mei glanced at Xu Huo, "Just saying, if it’s targeting you, you exit yourself, instead of troubling others."

Xu Huo’s face sank and immediately rose to leave.
