Chapter 66 Eliminate the traitors first, then the thieves!
Players are all kinds of 666.
I have to say that this assassin player is really strong. The key is that this idea is quite special.
While other players were basically still fighting against the two lines of theater troupe and Xiangyong, she became interested in the shadow waiter on the roof of the theater, and that night she was fighting with the shadow waiter.
And he was able to successfully kill him in the end?
It looks like he is just as ruthless as the assassin boss whose name was not announced before!
This kill means that the Shadow Warrior can be killed, which is obviously very helpful in improving the success rate of the entire plan.
And more importantly, the city defense map obtained after killing it!
Chu Ge replied: "This city defense map is actually very crucial. Its greatest significance is not actually the city defense, but the information it carries!
"Absolutely not everyone can obtain a city defense map. Even if the scholar could sneak into the county town, he would not be able to go to the city wall to spy on information under the eyes of so many soldiers.
"So, this city defense map is most likely obtained by someone with a higher status in the county.
"The reason why the bandits were able to invade the city so quickly was obviously because they knew the weaknesses of the city wall in advance from the city defense map.
"That is to say... the mole is probably a high-ranking figure in this county!"
As soon as this inference came out, the players were shocked again.
"It's unintentional! I suspected so many moles before, but in fact the biggest mole is actually a very high-status character?"
"...Doesn't that mean that all my efforts last night were in vain? I'm completely looking in the wrong direction!"
"It makes sense when you think about it. How can ordinary people get such things as city defense information? Even if Wang Jinghui is a cheat, he is not in that position. Even if he wants to be a traitor, he is not qualified."
"Qian, could it be that he is the Tang County Magistrate..."
"It's definitely not Magistrate Tang. He died in the battle."
"What about Gao Ze?"
"It doesn't look like Gao Ze either. Didn't Boss Huo say that he died in the battle in the theater in the end? If they were traitors, they would definitely not be able to really die in the battle."
"Then there really is no one else, right? Can't all the soldiers and Xiang Yong check it out one by one? Besides, it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers and Xiang Yong to get the city defense map, right?"
Players have come up with their own guesses.
But after guessing and guessing, it is still difficult to come to a conclusion as to who the traitor is.
But no matter what, after the second discussion among the players, the full picture of the entire copy has finally come to light.
It seems that we are only one step away from finally breaking through!
…
10 at night.
Zhao Haiping entered the trial illusion again.
During the day, he carefully summarized all the information on the forum, and also had serious discussions with players who were progressing quickly, such as Chu Ge, Huo Yunying and Xia Ruoling.
Everyone has some guesses as to how this copy will eventually be cracked.
But these speculations will have to wait until tonight to be verified.
"So……
"It's time for revenge!"
Zhao Haiping first chose the identity of Yang Xinyan, and then chose the talent of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
Because he is going to try to use Yang Xinyan to complete the plan to burn down the theater!
Chu Ge had already analyzed before that only with Yang Xinyan's physical fitness could it be possible to avoid the pursuit of the Dongyi Shadow Warrior and pass on this news.
Zhao Haiping didn't waste any time. After leaving the theater's secret door, he went straight in the direction of You Jiang and others!
Yang Xinyan's physical fitness is relatively top-notch among the characters in this dungeon, so he is very fast.
Just as planned, the Dongyi Shadow Warrior caught up after a period of time. Under the cover of You Jiang and other Xiangyong, Zhao Haiping ran towards the place where Gao Ze was without hesitation, and finally successfully arrived.
.
The Shadow Attendant did not dare to pursue him alone, so he could only retreat into the darkness again.
Zhao Haiping was injured in several places, but these injuries were not serious to him.
After that, it was easy. Zhao Haiping informed Gao Ze of the plan to burn the theater, and then sent some village warriors to get kerosene to complete the plan of burning the theater.
And then... before the theater was burned down, he was discovered by the shadow waiters on the roof. The thieves rushed out and started a bloody battle.
In the end, Yang Xinyan, played by Zhao Haiping, died heroically in battle and failed.
However, Zhao Haiping did not feel any disappointment, because he had already guessed that this time it would probably fail.
After all, so far, only the line of delivering information and burning down the theater has been completed. The traitor and the sentinel shadow waiter have not yet been solved.
But Zhao Haiping's work was not in vain, because after he died in battle and returned to the original state of the trial illusion, a message he had never seen before finally appeared in his field of vision.
[The key person’s identity has been corrected successfully!]
[Key Person: Yang Xinyan]
[The image of this character has been successfully finalized, and he will always act in a corrected state in the future!]
At the same time as this prompt appeared, a memory fragment also naturally appeared in Zhao Haiping's mind.
This is not the effect caused by the golden talent of obtaining memory fragments.
It looks more like a cutscene CG that will automatically play once the goal of correcting the identity of the key person is completed.
Yang Xinyan, who left the theater through the secret door, did not run away without hesitation like Wang Jinghui and other troupe members. Instead, he turned to look at the theater and in the direction of Su Xianjun.
Looking at the direction in which Wang Jinghui fled, Yang Xinyan knew that this man really couldn't be counted on.
He also thought about the plan that Su Xianjun told him before leaving the theater that had almost no chance of success and would lead to death.
But after wandering for a long time, Yang Xinyan sighed silently, made up his mind, and ran in the direction of the village heroes.
…
As these memory fragments were gradually digested, Zhao Haiping had a special feeling, as if the entire trial illusion had undergone some subtle changes that were difficult to detect.
This is because Yang Xinyan's image has been reversed and stereotyped.
While Zhao Haiping was excited, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"It's really him!
"Well, I can only say that this copy is indeed too deceptive.
"The key is that the memory fragments about Yang Xinyan I saw when I played Su Xianjun not only did not help, but also misled...
"The designer of this game is the real monster, right?
"Just a little tampering with the key nodes made the ending completely different."
The original Yang Xinyan was indeed weak and did not have the courage to become an "overlord". He just wanted to live like a common man.
He had a small family and had too many things that he couldn't put down, so when he encountered bandits, he gave up and wanted to sing on stage to save his life.
However, at the last moment, he still made the right choice.
Becoming a hero or a coward may only be a matter of a thought.
The history that the demon tampered with caused Yang Xinyan to make the opposite choice at the most critical node, creating a strong confusion for the players.
"Then the next step is... to catch the mole!"
Zhao Haiping once again chose the identity of a civilian husband to start the game, returning to the time when the Tang County magistrate led his soldiers and fought to the death with the villagers.
This is a battle that is bound to fail, but the reason why Zhao Haiping wants to experience it again is obviously because there is some information in it that he originally ignored.
"No retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was critical, Xu Baihu shouted to restrain his soldiers, but some soldiers did not obey the command at all and ran away.
Xu Baihu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but just as he was distracted, a sharp barbarian knife had already struck his armor.
Xu Baihu fell to the ground in response.
The Tang county magistrate shouted "Be loyal to the emperor and serve the country", but he was also killed by the bandits.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Gao Ze fought his way out of the siege, hoping to summon the local warriors to make a comeback.
Zhao Haiping also fought his way out of the siege with Gao Ze, but this time, he did not follow Gao Ze's story line, but waited for the Dongyi bandits to leave before returning to the battlefield.
He looked at the place where Xu Baihu fell to the ground, but found that Xu Baihu's body was nowhere to be found?
"...Sure enough!
"This bitch is a traitor!"
Although he knew that this was all history that had already happened, and even though he knew that this was just a game, Zhao Haiping was still so angry that his teeth itched.
Why can thieves invade the county so easily? Why does the shadow attendant have a city defense map on his body?
Why was Xu Baihu wearing armor, but he was cut down to the ground by the bandits with a single blow? Why did the bandits stop killing him when they saw him falling to the ground, but pursued the others without mercy?
The reason is very simple, he is the biggest mole that everyone is looking for!
It's just that Xu Baihu's acting skills are really superb, and he showed a righteous look when fighting the bandits, so that Zhao Haiping had no doubts at all when he saw him fall to the ground for the first time.
In this way, another mystery will be solved.
Among the Dongyi thieves, there were two shadow attendants. One went to hunt down Wang Jinghui and others, and the other was on guard on the roof of the theater.
According to Xia Ruoling, the Shadow Attendant left for a while, but he didn't know where he went because he was very vigilant and could not be tracked.
Now, Zhao Haiping vaguely guessed where the shadow attendant had gone.
Apparently he went to the hiding place agreed with Xu Baihu in advance!
Then the next task will be simple.
Get rid of the traitors first, then destroy the bandits!
