"The plan should be going smoothly, right?"
"Things have begun to develop as we expected. Public opinion has formed a synergy. Those people we arranged outside to add fuel to the fire... should be able to take it back now."
"Very good, now that the head of the family has decided on this matter, we shouldn't need to continue to pay attention to his existence in the game world..."
"Are you sure? Luo Tu and several others just failed the last time, and they still seem to have nothing to do with that person..."
At the same time, in the depths of the Lesser Andacier Mountains, several players in black were standing or sitting around a small bonfire beside a giant magic circle, passing the waiting time with meetings and discussions: "Although they succeeded.
He has successfully copied the skills of other games, and he has reached the threshold of successfully using the Yi Sword. However, when facing that person, both his power and experience showed obvious shortcomings..."
"No matter how long it takes us to catch up with these things you mentioned, I don't think this is enough to be a reason to punish Lotu. At least his efforts and progress are well known to everyone."
"Ha, what should we do about what happened to Demon Hunter Tian? And that guy from Cannon... Does he have any other effect besides exposing himself by so recklessly looking for trouble for others?"
"It is no longer helpful to say this now. At least we no longer need to pay attention to this issue. The problem we need to face now is... how to let the restorationists follow our next plan."
As these words fell, several black-clothed figures wearing different clothes looked together in the direction of the giant magic array next to them. The purple light that gradually emerged followed their gazes, and the things originally hidden in the darkness were revealed.
His face turned purple: "This magic circle...should have some effect, right?"
"We bring enough knowledge to not hasten the death of this game."
"I know, I understand, but... news of new progress has been sent. We don't have much time to waste here. If we don't succeed in the end..."
"With all due respect... so what if we don't succeed? A mere furnace is nothing compared to the power of the void. Once we find a long-term energy source..."
As these words fell, the eyes of several people turned to each other's northwest. The rising lights of dawn were extending from the opposite direction to the flags composed of players and coalition forces, toward the gradually brightening dawn.
It extends deep into the depths. The vague movements and faint shouts are also coming from the gradually white snowfield, seeming to indicate to the people around them that the restorers are about to attack again, but
Several players present who are holding an open-air meeting are obviously not concerned about them now: "Is this matter... feasible?"
"There should be no problem, but..."
"I know what your concerns are, but nothing in this world is 100% certain. It's just like the head of the family thought that the matter was foolproof, but now it suddenly reappears..."
"So what we need to do now is to solve the only troubles that may arise, such as...how did that matter go?"
"That thing..."
boom--
In the real world, in a villa located in District A of Hualan City, a figure belonging to a mature woman suddenly sat up from where she was, and slapped over a large amount of debris piled on the desk in front of her: "What?
They actually rejected it?"
"Yes, yes, miss, we..."
"How dare they ignore such a report? This is the first iron law of the alliance's laws!"
"But, but they said they had reviewed all the evidence, and later..."
"It's just nonsense!"
Smashing the bare board in his hand to the ground, Lou Yushang stared at the subordinates in front of him with eyes full of anger, and then, with everyone around him trembling involuntarily, he sat back in his seat with his forehead in his hands: "
…What’s the reason?”
"They believe that...the people we are charging are just a group of ordinary people in society, with no obvious connection to the free world, and..."
The man in black in charge of the report hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "And... the threatened player we mentioned does not actually exist at all."
"Not there? Are they blind?"
In the atmosphere where countless people felt trembling, Lou Yushang's voice was as cold as winter when he confided again: "Even if they ignore the intelligence we provided, they still have their own data flow statistics..."
"They also mentioned this matter in their reply to us. They claimed that... they also sent people to investigate these things." The voice of the man in black became a little lower: "There was only one person named Chu Ling there.
Apart from the Lady of Ice...there are no other players."
"There are no other players?" Lou Yushang raised his beautiful eyebrows, and his expression became strange: "What... does this mean?"
"It seems that due to other matters, two league officials visited the address we provided at some time before."
This time, the face of the man in black became obviously more cautious: "We found out these things in private - they monitored some abnormalities in the data flow, so they sent two prosecutors to conduct a raid.
The results of the inspection were as what their subordinates had said before. They did not find the existence of the person named Duan Qing. Chu Lingbing, who lived there at the time, did not admit the matter and flatly denied the problem of abnormal data. However, according to subsequent reports
Officials said two investigators found a redundant high-end gaming pod at the scene and ... safety locks that had been removed."
"The alliance has accepted this data anomaly incident and stated that it will continue to investigate." At the end of the sentence, the man in black lowered his head: "Relatively... the content of our report has been put on hold for the time being.
"
"...He disappeared?"
Looking steadily in the direction of the subordinate in black, Lou Yushang asked in a hollow voice: "He...disappeared again?"
"...Yes, miss."
"It took a lot of effort to determine his location, but he ran away again?"
Sadness and anger passed in his heart for a moment, and Lou Yushang's eyes suddenly began to gradually enlarge: "No, that's not right! Could it be that..."
"They... found it too?"
"...I'm afraid that's the case, miss."
"hateful."
Clenching her fists hard, the mature woman in light gauze punched the table: "How could it be so fast? Logically speaking, they should have dealt with our attack first, and then they could think of the source of this matter.
right……"
"Perhaps they have already found out, Miss." Another man in black standing behind her said in a low voice: "Judging from the recent series of performances inside and outside the game, everything was carefully planned by them.
The result after that.”
"...We still haven't had time to stop this?" The graceful body gradually curled back into her seat, and Lou Yushang's expression also became lost: "What if...what if they have already taken him away?"
Already..."
"I think this should be impossible, Miss." The subordinate in black standing in front immediately replied: "We have been following your instructions to keep an eye on the Duan family and the Chu family. They have not done anything unusual recently.
Moreover, the alliance’s official statement does not seem to mention that incident again…”
"Public opinion is still one-sided now, so it is the best time to make this matter public." Another man in black also said solemnly: "The alliance has become so strong, it should not care about this little face...
"
"We have also checked the recent files, and there is no mention of the name Mo Shang Qingshan, which means that unless they are lying, no one with this ID has been in or out recently..."
"We have been monitoring the movements in the game. Although there is no movement, the people of Wings of Freedom seem to be preparing for the qualifiers in the near future..."
"correct!"
As if she suddenly thought of something, the mature woman with long wavy hair suddenly stood up from her seat: "If he goes online, if he goes online...Xian'er!"
"exist!"
"How did the thing I asked you to do go?"
"Miss Hui, we have successfully joined the Fool's Adventure Group branch. We have been inquiring about their activities recently. I heard that the leader named Mengzhu... seems to have been searching for something with his people recently."
"..."
The silent atmosphere spread to the surroundings as the mature woman sat up again, gradually attracting the attention of all the subordinates in the room around her. She stared intently at the piles of debris scattered on the table in front of her.
, the dull eyes became brighter: "That is to say..."
"He's already online, right?"
************************
"A glass of ale, thank you."
On February 10, 795 in the New Calendar, in the northwest corner of the Fenghua Plain in the free world, a player wearing a black cloak opened the door of a tavern in Xifeng Town and sat silently in front of the bar.
On one of the empty seats - due to the emergence of the Restorers and the spread of the war, Xifeng Town, which was supposed to be the head of Xifeng County, has now become an empty city, and even the county that was supposed to be guarding it has become an empty city.
His troops, along with his troops, are now heading to the front line with the arrival of the coalition forces. Nearly two months of war have driven away most of the civilians here. Even the phoenix fruit specialty and the ale industry that were supposed to belong here have also disappeared.
As time went by, signs of devastation began to appear. The once bustling pub also suffered from depression. Empty seats were placed in front of the bar, and Shi Shiran sat in the middle of the row of seats.
In the middle, the player who had just entered looked at the seemingly idle bartender behind the bar with dull eyes for a while, then reached into his arms and pushed two coins to the front of the counter where there was already a layer of dust: "...enough
?"
"Please wait."
After looking at each other again, the bartender reached out and put the two gold coins in front of him into his bag. However, the hand with the rag hanging on it did not immediately reach out to the scattered wine glasses at the back, but pointed towards a corner in front of the bar.
Nodding his head at the other party, the player then stood up and walked towards the direction indicated by the bartender. The black figure then disappeared into the dark corner of the hall and sat down with another black player who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Opposite the man in clothes: "...Long time no see, Lord Wiesel."
"I didn't expect it to be you." The short-haired middle-aged man sitting in the dark raised his chin: "You seem to have encountered a lot of trouble recently."
"I have already had the most basic communication with the Council of Mages regarding the relevant content."
Reaching out and taking off the hood on his head, Duan Qing revealed his face: "Although this matter is still far from being settled, it should not continue to expand."
"Oh? It sounds interesting." Wiesel, who was across the small wine table, then raised his chin: "Can you tell me how you did it?"
"If Christine of the Seven-person Council is not convincing, then I have no other way." Duan Qing showed a smile: "Of course, I didn't make any excessive demands, I just hope that they will
Don’t continue to expand the situation regarding the Fool’s Adventure Group’s rebellion…”
"Kristen? She actually found your head specifically for such a thing?" The expression on Wiesel's face became even more surprised: "Would you mind explaining the detailed process to me?"
"It costs money to obtain such information, Your Excellency, the biggest intelligence dealer in the capital."
Reaching out to take a large glass of ale from the bartender who came from behind, Duan Qing shook his head and whispered: "And... Your Excellency Christine didn't come here just for me. She naturally has her own
Ren - what are you looking at me for? How could I possibly know such a thing? Even if I really knew it... in my current position, do you think I would tell it? "
"Okay, okay, our Shadow Club has no intention of inquiring about other people's personal information." He raised his wine glass with a smile, Wiesel and Duan Qing touched it in the air: "We just listen to Freedom City
The advice sent by the Thrones, and your status as a member of the Twelve Thrones, I came here specifically to help you."
"So...what do you need?"
He stared at Duan Qing's face, raised his head to drink the wine in his mouth, and then looked at Duan Qing who also drank the glass of ale, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Master Aries who has been a wanted criminal?"
"I want to see Val."
As if he was savoring Xifeng County's famous ale, Duan Qing lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and spoke slowly in a low voice.
