Liu Xing had just returned home with Sonoda Zhuri and Nan Xiaoniao when he received a text message from Yin En - we had something important to discuss.
After Liu Xing said hello to Sonoda Juri, he went to the hotel where Zhang Jingxu and others were staying.
After entering the room, Liu Xing looked at a table of Kaifeng dishes and said with some surprise: "Is this what you are eating today? Why don't you go out to eat?"
Yin En rolled his eyes at Liu Xing and said: "Because we don't have a young lady to accompany us to dinner, and it would be too boring for a group of old men to go out, so we stayed in the hotel today and played games; but then again
,Liu Xing, have you received text messages from Sun Meng or Director Li?"
Liu Xing touched the back of his head in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "No, you are the only one who sent me a text message today, Yin En, so did Director Li and the others send you text messages?"
Ding Kun on the side nodded, handed Liu Xing a mobile phone and said: "We just received this text message while having dinner."
Liu Xing clicked on the text message and couldn't help but frown.
This text message should have been sent by Director Li, because the content was a very simple sentence - I am Director Li, and the poison gas needs to wait for two more days.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this passage, but Liu Xing still felt that something was wrong.
The reason is very simple. Liu Xing and others have never exchanged phone numbers with Director Li, because the two parties communicate through Sun Meng, an intermediary.
After all, although Liu Xing and others have no superior-subordinate relationship with Sun Meng, Liu Xing and others belong to the same organization as Sun Meng. In addition, Sun Meng is highly respected and has a good relationship with Director Li, so Liu Xing and others
It has always been defaulted that Sun Meng will be the one to communicate with Director Li. If Director Li has anything to do with him, he will tell Sun Meng first, and then Sun Meng will pass it on to Liu Xing and others.
So this time Director Li suddenly went over Sun Meng to contact his group. Liu Xing felt that something might be wrong. After all, it was not an urgent matter. Director Li did not need to go over Sun Meng to inform his group.
"So, what do you think about this text message?" Liu Xing asked.
Zhang Jingxu sighed and said seriously: "At the beginning, we thought that this text message might not be sent by Director Li, so I checked the phone number through other channels, and found that it was indeed Director Li.
His private phone number, so we now believe that this text message is probably Director Li warning us!"
Liu Xing frowned and said immediately: "Do you mean that Director Li is also controlled by the snake man?"
"That's right." Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Liu Xing, you should also know very well that it is logically impossible for Director Li to contact us directly. After all, Director Li has been acting with Sun Meng these two days, so such an inconvenience
For something too important, Director Li should have asked Sun Meng to inform us instead of him sending us a text message himself... And more importantly, Director Li's text message was sent to Ding Kun, not me.
With Zhang Wenbing!"
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, the person among us who is least likely to receive a text message from Director Li is Brother Ding, because it is okay to send this text message from Director Li to other people. After all, Zhang Jingxu, you and Zhang Jingxu
Brother Zhang is from the Huaxia Dao Sect. Yin En and I gained a lot of popularity during the Yueshi Ship Incident. As for Ming Hanxing, Zhang Jingxu and Brother Zhang are the guarantors, but Brother Ding joined our team temporarily.
And only Ming Hanxing, who himself needs a guarantor, can provide guarantee, so under normal circumstances it is impossible for Director Li to send this text message to Brother Ding."
"So, the only explanation we can think of now is that Director Li is hinting to us that Sun Meng can't be trusted!" Yin En continued, "Director Li doesn't send us the text message, the subtext is that he doesn't believe us.
, does not believe in Huaxia Daomen, and he did not pass this news to us through Sun Meng, so to sum up, Director Li is telling us that Sun Meng is very likely to have a problem. "
Liu Xing sighed, frowned and said, "In that case, Director Li wants to tell us that Sun Meng and the Snake Man are in the same group."
Zhang Jingxu said seriously, "But there is another possibility, that is, we are thinking too much now. Maybe it was just because Sun Meng's mobile phone was out of battery, so Sun Meng used Director Li's phone to send us this text message.
As for why it was sent to Brother Ding, maybe it’s because Brother Ding’s phone number is easier to remember?”
When Liu Xing and others went to report to Sun Meng two days ago, Liu Xing and others told Sun Meng their contact information, and among the phone numbers of Liu Xing and others, it was indeed Ding Kun's phone number.
The number is best to remember.
A few years ago, in order to get clues about his brother as soon as possible, Ding Kun deliberately changed his phone number to a very easy to remember number, so as to ensure that the person who provided the clues could find his phone number as quickly as possible.
..
Of course, because this is the module of the Cthulhu Game Hall, Liu Xing and others felt that the possibility of conspiracy theories was relatively high.
Although Liu Xing and others only need to make another phone call to Sun Meng or Director Li, or simply go to Tailai Village to determine the situation, doing so is likely to alert the snake and lead to a trap.
Therefore, Liu Xing and others could only make a presumption of guilt first and list Sun Meng as a key target of attention.
"So we should just wait and see what happens in the next two days?" Liu Xing asked.
Yin En nodded and said helplessly: "That's all we can do now. After all, we don't know anything about the situation in Tailai Village, so it's better for us to wait and see what happens. Anyway, we are already in standby mode.
."
After Yin En finished speaking, everyone fell into silence, because the originally clear situation became confusing again.
After a while, Liu Xing decided to change the topic and went directly to KP Order to start the secret room time.
Although Zhang Jingxu and others did not know why Liu Xing asked to open the secret room time, they still voted in favor because it was a sign of trust in their teammates.
After opening the secret room time, Liu Xing kept his story short and told all the information Zhutori told him.
"It seems that the Battle of Gongwu is about to begin. We must be prepared to go to the island country. Otherwise, if we fail to participate in the Battle of Gongwu as soon as possible, we will definitely suffer a big loss." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said, "
But fortunately, Liu Xing, you and Yin En have met so many outstanding NPCs in the previous modules, and our starting point in the battle of Gongwu is higher than other players."
Liu Xing looked at Yin En and said with a smile: "Actually, all this is Yin En's credit. If Yin En had not become the son-in-law of the Zetian family, otherwise we would not have been able to get help from the Zetian family, so we went to the island country when the time came.
, we have to look at Yin En’s performance, don’t you think so, Comrade Yin En.”
"Ah, it seems that I have to sacrifice myself? Although Miss Sawada's situation is not bad in all aspects, Miss Sawada's temper is really bad. I suspect that I will probably die because of her.
Under the hatchet..." Yin En said with a sad face.
Liu Xing shrugged and said with a sinister smile: "Then Yin En, you'd better ask for your own blessings, but I think as long as you don't seek death, Miss Zetian will not be willing to let you die so soon, so
Whether our team can achieve good results in this event depends on your performance, Yin En."
Yin En looked up at the ceiling at forty-five degrees, speechless and choked for a moment.
After some teasing, Ding Kun suddenly said: "By the way, Liu Xing, you have also experienced many mods in the Hounds of Tindalos area, right?"
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, we have completed several modules in the Hounds of Tindalos area, so Brother Ding, do you mean we are going to carry out promotion modules?"
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that his group should indeed go through the promotion module. After all, his group's record in the Hounds of Tindalos area was pretty good.
"Yes, it has been almost more than a year since I advanced to the Hounds of Tindalos area, and I have always maintained a perfect victory record, so I suspect that as long as we participate in the activities of the Battle of Public Martial Arts, we will open the promotion module
"Ding Kun said with a smile, "But I heard a friend of mine who has been promoted to the Cthulhu area say that he once had a teammate who had excellent performance in an event similar to the Battle of Public Martial Arts.
The contribution rate is stable at the forefront, so I was promoted directly from the Hounds of Tindalos area to the Cthulhu area without using the promotion module. Therefore, if there is such an exception, I think we still have a chance to achieve this possibility.
After all, Comrade Yin En has given us a good start. As long as we can perform normally, we have every chance of being directly promoted to the Cthulhu area."
At this moment, kp order suddenly interjected: "I can give you some explanations about this. During the Gongwu Battle event, all players in the parallel world who are eligible to start the promotion module will be banned for various reasons.
Forcibly sent to the island country, and then if these players perform well in a series of modules of the Battle of Public Martial Arts, they will be directly promoted to the Cthulhu area; and the definition of 'excellent' here does not mean that each player performs well in every game.
All the sub-modules can pass the level smoothly, but it refers to how much influence the players have on this event; of course, because the Battle of Public Martial Arts is a confrontation activity divided into camps, the influence here refers to your impact on yourself.
How much contribution has the camp successfully made, so even if you fail in some modules, as long as the overall contribution is high enough, you can still be promoted to the Cthulhu area."
I see.
Liu Xing and others all looked as if they were suddenly enlightened.
After talking about the island country, Liu Xing said: "I will take Zhutori around Tailai Village tomorrow and ask her to find out about Sun Meng and Director Li. Then we will know
Did we think too much about this text message, or is it really what we thought."
Ding Kun and others agreed.
Because the time in the secret room was almost over, Yin En made a digression, "By the way, Ming Hanxing, do you know Director Li in the real world?"
Ming Hanxing shook his head and said: "How should I put it? I was actually transferred to Chengdu from another place a month ago, so I only know my colleagues in my jurisdiction, so I really don't know Director Li.
But this can be considered a good thing, because if I really meet someone I know in the module, then the module will have to change things again."
The secret room time is officially over.
But then Liu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "I suddenly had a bold idea, but I'm afraid Li Mengyao will beat me to death."
Yin En on the side raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "I think Li Mengyao will indeed beat you to death, because you dare to let her grandfather use your body as a bait and put yourself in danger. It's strange that she agrees."
That's right, Liu Xing's idea was to use the relationship between Grandpa Li Mengyao and Grandpa Yang Xuanzhu to let Li Mengyao's grandfather work as an undercover agent to gather information for himself and his party.
Of course, Liu Xing also knew that Li Mengyao would definitely not agree to his plan. After all, the risk of doing so was too high, because Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather was just a believer of the snake people, so he couldn't make the decision.
Liu Xing had to give up the idea.
After chatting for a while, Liu Xing took Yin En home. After all, if Yin En continues to stay in the hotel, his reputation will definitely be harmed...
After returning home, Liu Xing told Zhutori about the text message, and Zhutori agreed to follow Liu Xing to Tailai Village tomorrow.
Ever since, Liu Xing got up early the next morning, left a note on the table in the living room saying "I'm going to buy breakfast", and drove to Tailai Village with Taketori.
Fortunately, when Turner bought a house, he assigned several cars of different grades to each property, so Liu Xing chose the most deceptive car - Wuling Hongguang (advertising livery).
Liu Xing had to admit that Turner was quite down-to-earth, and even prepared an old version of Wuling Hongguang with advertisements in the garage.
Liu Xing soon drove to the vicinity of Tailai Village.
But before Liu Xing could speak, Zhutori suddenly said: "There's no time to explain, hurry up and drive!"
