Liu Xing had just returned home with Sonoda Zhuri and Nan Xiaoniao, when he received a text message from Yin Eun - there was something important to discuss.

After Liu Xing said hello to Sonoda Zhuri, he went to the hotel where Zhang Jingxu and the others were staying.

After entering the room, Liu Xing looked at the table of Kaifeng dishes, and said with some surprise: "You guys are going to eat this today?" Why don't you go out to eat? ”

Yin En glanced at Liu Xing and said, "Because we don't have a young lady to accompany us to dinner, and it's too boring for a group of big men to go out, so we stayed in the hotel today and played games; But then again, Liu Xing, did you receive a text message from Sun Meng or Director Li? ”

Liu Xing touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, shook his head and said, "No, you sent me a text message today, so Director Li, did they send you a text message?" ”

Ding Kun on the side nodded, handed Liu Xing a mobile phone and said, "We just received this text message while we were having dinner. ”

Liu Xing clicked on the content of the text message and couldn't help frowning.

This text message should have been sent by Director Li, because the content is a very simple sentence - I am Director Li, and the poison gas will need to wait for another two days.

This passage seemed to be fine, but Liu Xing still felt that something was wrong.

The reason is very simple, Liu Xing and the others have never exchanged phone numbers with Director Li, because the two parties were contacted 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 after all, plus Sun Meng is highly respected and has a good relationship with Director Li, so Liu Xing and others have always tacitly connected with Director Li by default, and Director Li also told Sun Meng about something first, and then Sun Meng told Liu Xing and others.

So this time, Director Li suddenly crossed Sun Meng to contact his group, and Liu Xing felt that this matter was very likely to be wrong, after all, this was not an urgent matter, and there was no need for Director Li to cross Sun Meng to inform the 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 have been sent by Director Li, so I specifically checked this phone number through other channels, and it turned out that this is indeed Director Li's private phone number, so we now think that this text message is likely to be Director Li warning us!" ”

Liu Xing frowned, and immediately said, "Do you mean, Director Li is also controlled by the snake people?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "Liu Xing, you should also know very well, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Director Li to contact us directly, after all, Director Li has been acting with Sun Meng for the past two days, so for something not very important like this, Director Li should have asked Sun Meng to notify us, instead of him personally sending a text message to tell us... And more importantly, this text message from Director Li was sent to Ding Kun, not me and Zhang Wenbing! ”

Liu Xing nodded and said: "That's right, the person who is the least likely for us to receive Director Li's text message is Brother Ding, because Director Li's text message is okay to send to others, after all, Zhang Jingxu, you and Brother Zhang are from Huaxia Daomen, and Yin En and I can be regarded as a wave of popularity in the Yueshi incident, as for Ming Hanxing, there are Zhang Jingxu and Brother Zhang as guarantors, but Brother Ding joined our team temporarily, and only Ming Hanxing, who needs a guarantor, can vouch. Therefore, 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 at us - Sun Meng is not credible!" Yin En answered, "Director Li didn't send us a text message, the subtext is that he doesn't believe us, he doesn't believe in Huaxia Daomen, and he didn't pass this news on to us through Sun Meng, so to sum up, Director Li is telling us that Sun Meng is likely to have a problem." ”

Liu Xing sighed, frowned and said, "In this case, Director Li is trying to tell us that Sun Meng and the snake people are in the same group. ”

"That's right, now from the perspective of conspiracy theories, it all makes sense, assuming that Director Li has been controlled by the snake people now, Sun Meng is indeed the first target of suspicion, because the only person who can have the opportunity to poison Director Li in Tailai Village is Sun Meng, and Sun Meng also said at the beginning that he has a good relationship with the snake people near Rongcheng, which is likely to include the snake people in Eagle Beak Mountain, of course, it is not ruled out that those snake people first controlled Sun Meng, and then controlled Director Li." Zhang Jingxu said seriously, "But there is another possibility, that is, we are thinking too much now, maybe it is just because Sun Meng's mobile phone is out of battery, so Sun Meng sent us this text message with Director Li's phone, as for why it was sent to Brother Ding, it may be because Brother Ding's phone number is easier to remember?" ”

When Liu Xing and others reported 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 that was the best to remember.

A few years ago, in order to be able to get clues related to his brother in the first time, Ding Kun deliberately changed a very memorable phone 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 a mod for the Cthulhu Run game lobby, Liu Xing and others feel that conspiracy theories are more likely.

Although Liu Xing and the others only need to make another phone call to Sun Meng or Director Li, or simply go to Tailai Village to determine the situation, it is very likely that they will be caught by surprise and fall into the net.

Therefore, Liu Xing and others can only make a presumption of guilt first, and list Sun Meng as the target of attention.

"So we're going to wait and see what happens for the next two days?" Liu Xing asked.

Yin En nodded, and said helplessly: "Now it's all about this, after all, we don't know anything about the situation in Tailai Village now, so it's better for us to wait and see, anyway, we are already on standby." ”

After Yin Eun finished speaking, everyone fell silent as the already clear situation became confusing again.

After a while, Liu Xing decided to change the topic and directly found KP Order to open the secret room time.

Although Zhang Jingxu and others didn't know why Liu Xing asked to open the secret room time, they still voted in favor because it was a trust in their teammates.

After opening the secret room time, Liu Xing made a long story short and told all the news that Taketori told him.

"It seems that the battle of Gongwu is about to begin, and we must be prepared to go to the island country, otherwise if we fail to participate in the battle of Gongwu at the first time, we will definitely suffer a big loss." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said, "But fortunately, Liu Xing, you and Yin En have encountered so many excellent NPCs in the previous mods, and our starting point in the battle of Gongwu is even higher than that of other players." ”

Liu Xing looked at Yin En and said with a smile: "Actually, all this is Yin En's credit, if Yin En hadn't become the son-in-law of the Sawada family, otherwise we would not have been able to get the help of the Sawada family, so when the time comes to go to the island country, we have to see Yin En's play, you say yes, Comrade Yin En." ”

"Ah, it looks like I'm going to have to sacrifice myself? Although Miss Sawada's condition is not bad in all aspects, but Miss Sawada's temper is really bad, and I suspect that I am very likely to die under her firewood knife... Yin En said with a sad face.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said with a dark smile: "Then Yin En, you should ask for more blessings, but I think that as long as you don't die, Miss Sawada should not be willing to let you die so soon, so whether our team can achieve good results in this event depends on Yin En's performance." ”

Yoon Eun looked up at the sky forty-five degrees... The flower board was speechless for a while.

After teasing for a while, Ding Kun suddenly said: "By the way, Liu Xing, you have already experienced many mods in the Tyndalus Hound area, right?" ”

Liu Xing nodded and said, "That's right, we've already completed several mods in the Tindarus Hound area, so Brother Ding, do you mean we're going to have a promotion mod?" ”

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that his group should indeed carry out the promotion module, after all, his group's record in the Tyndaros Hound area was not bad.

"Yes, it's been almost a year since I advanced to the Hound of Tyndalus region, and I've been on a winning streak, so I suspect that as long as we participate in the Gongwu Battle, we'll start the promotion module." Ding Kun said with a smile, "But I heard from a friend of mine who has been promoted to the Cthulhu region that he once had a teammate who had an excellent performance in an event similar to the Battle of the Public Martial Arts, and his contribution to the event was stable and at the forefront, so he was directly promoted from the Hound of Tyndalus region to the Cthulhu region without a promotion module, so if there is such an exception, I think we still have a chance to win this possibility, after all, Comrade Yin En has given us a good start, As long as we can play normally, then we have every chance of being promoted directly to the Cthulhu region. ”

At this moment, the KP order suddenly interjected: "I can explain something to you about this, during the event of Gongwu War, all players in this parallel world who are eligible to start the promotion mod will be forcibly sent to the island country for various reasons, and then these players will be directly promoted to the Cthulhu region if they perform well in a series of mods in Gongwu War; And the definition of 'excellent' here does not refer to the fact that players can successfully complete each mod, but rather how much influence the players have on this event, of course, because Gongwu War is a faction-based confrontation event, so the impact here refers to how much you contribute to the success of your own faction, so even if you fail in some mods, as long as the overall contribution is high enough, then you can still be promoted to the Cthulhu region. ”

I see.

Liu Xing and the others all looked suddenly enlightened.

After chatting about the affairs of the island country, Liu Xing said: "I will take Taketori to the vicinity of Tailai Village tomorrow, and ask her to inquire about the situation of Sun Meng and Director Li, and then we can know if this text message is whether we are thinking too much, or if it is really as we think." ”

Ding Kun and others agreed.

Because the time in the secret room was almost over, Yin En chatted off topic, "By the way, Ming Hanxing, do you know Director Li in the real world?" ”

Ming Hanxing shook his head and said: "How to say, I was actually transferred to Rongcheng from other places a month ago, so I also know my colleagues in my jurisdiction, so I really don't know this Director Li, but this is also a good thing, if I really meet an acquaintance in the module, then this module will have to change things again." ”

The Chamber of Secrets is officially over.

But at this time, Liu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "I suddenly have a bold idea, but I'm afraid that Li Mengyao will kill me." ”

Yin En, who was on the side, raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "I think Li Mengyao will indeed kill you, because you dare to let her grandfather use her body as bait and put her in danger, it would be strange if she could agree." ”

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 go undercover and inquire about information for his group.

Of course, Liu Xing also knew that Li Mengyao would definitely not agree to his plan, after all, the danger of doing so was too high, because Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather was just a believer in those snake people, so he couldn't be the master.

Liu Xing had no choice but to give up this idea.

After chatting for a while, Liu Xing took Yin En home, after all, if he let Yin En continue to stay in the hotel, it would definitely lead to his own wind criticism...

After returning home, Liu Xing told Taketori about the text message, and Taketori agreed to follow Liu Xing to Tailai Village tomorrow.

So, Liu Xing got up early the next morning, left a note on the table in the living room that said "I'm going to buy breakfast", and then drove to Tailai Village with Taketori.

Fortunately, when Turner bought a house, he also equipped each property with several cars of different grades, so Liu Xing chose one of the most confusing cars - Wuling Hongguang (advertising livery).

Liu Xing had to admit that Turner was still quite down-to-earth, and even prepared an old-fashioned 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, Taketori suddenly said, "There's no time to explain, drive quickly!" ”
