431 Revenge from the Past (Part I)
"What do you want to do?!"
The bartender was a crew logistician, unable to break free and look panicked.
Melos was taken aback, "Commander, who are you?" ”
Han Xiao pointed to his glass of wine, "Someone has put something in it, it should be poison." ”
"No way, I brought the wine, why am I okay after drinking it...... Am I poisoned too? ”
Melos was shocked and hurriedly touched his tongue and throat, but there was no paralyzing sensation of poisoning.
"The wine is fine, it's a matter of the glass." The introduction of the items in the wine bottle is normal, only his own glass of wine has been added, it can only be that someone put something in the wine glass in advance, and the bartender who took out the wine glass is the most suspicious.
It was originally a very simple daily escort mission, Han Xiao didn't expect this kind of thing, he was very curious, who wanted his life?
At this time, all the players and merchant group workers present surrounded them, and Dake and others also rushed over when they heard the news, looking puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Han Xiao said it briefly, and everyone looked surprised.
"Could it be a mistake?" asked.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao made up a new task and threw it to the players present.
[You trigger the quest [Test Toxin]]
[Description: Your regimental commander is suspected of being assassinated, are you willing to help him test the effects of the toxin]
[Requirements: Drink [Spiced Spirits]]
[Reward: Black Star-Han Xiao Opinion +300, 15 XP]
[Notes: Death is possible]
The players of the mercenary group received the prompts on the panel one after another, and their eyes lit up, it was the first time that they encountered such a task that was so easy to improve Han Xiao's favor and earn experience, and it was a fart to die once.
Everyone was about to rush up to snatch the wine glass, but when they saw the figure flashing, the meat bag moved like a rabbit, and the speed was extremely fast, grabbing the wine glass, and without saying a word, it was boring.
"Why are you running so fast?!" It's so shocking, I'm an agile martial artist who can't keep up with your Si Bide, how do you practice?
The meat bag glanced at everyone triumphantly, and before he could speak, his face suddenly changed, the blood vessels under the skin bulged, turning blue-black, crawling all over his face, opening his mouth wide but not making a sound, and the other players saw this, and retreated one after another, and there was no one within three meters of the meat bag.
The meat bun froze in place for a few seconds, and then his facial features spurted blood in unison, and he fell to the ground and died violently, killing him on the spot.
"What a man like the wind, he died so brightly." The mad knife is amazing.
"Just, just dead?!"
The workers and crew of the merchant group were collectively stunned, a living mercenary died in front of him, and his companions were still nothing, what kind of mercenary group is this, so cold-blooded! It's scary!
And this group of mercenaries is too loyal to Black Star, before Black Star can speak, they rush to drink poisonous wine and test the poison themselves, this is not like mercenaries at all, it is simply a fanatical cult!
However, the next moment, the corpse of the meat bag turned into a white light and disappeared, and then a trotting sound sounded outside the door, and the meat bag ran from the resurrection point.
exclaimed, "You, you ......"
Han Xiao glanced at him, "We have cooperated many times, but you didn't even know that we had a nickname of 'Immortal Mercenary Group'?" ”
"I see, I don't know about the rumors in the mercenary world." smiled bitterly, no wonder this group of mercenaries was so calm, it turned out that they were all undead.
Blackstar's name is widely known, but its specific capabilities are mainly known in the industry, and other industries are not well aware of it.
"What is the effect of the poison?" Han Xiao turned his head and asked.
Meat bun to check the panel prompt just now.
[You're taking some kind of toxin, and you're in the process of determining your stamina...... Your stamina is below 280, you have no related immunity skills, and you enter the [Poisoned] state. ]
[High Concentration of Decaying Blood Toxin: This is a toxin produced by an anomaly, which requires an injection of blood toxicity antidote, currently 135/135, with a loss of 750 HP per second for 8 seconds.] ]
[Warning!] Your health is too low, please take the antidote as soon as possible! ]
[Your health is below 0!] ]
[You're dead!] ]
The meat bun said it truthfully, and Han Xiao nodded.
"The loss of 6,000 blood in 8 seconds is very fatal to the player, but it can't kill me, which proves that the person who poisoned me has a limited understanding of me, but the murderer can calculate me on this journey, but it shows that he has mastered my whereabouts, at least he knows that this ship transports supplies for Longtan, and I will definitely appear here, this ship is so big, the murderer must be hidden among these people, and the name of the 'undead mercenary group' has not scared off the murderer, there are only two possibilities, either he knows that I am not immortal, or it is ...... Vendetta? ”
Han Xiao frowned, many speculations surfaced in his mind, and even, the suspicion of the player could not be ruled out!
This possibility has to be guarded against, he strengthens himself by helping the player, but never trusts the player completely, after all, he knows the player's urine too well, and only hopes that he guessed wrong, and it is not the player who has accepted the task of assassinating him privately.
After verifying that what Han Xiao said was true, a pair of hostile eyes stared at the bartender who fell to the side, and the bartender turned pale with fright and trembled when he saw the toxin attack.
"It's not me, I don't know about it, I just took an empty wine glass from the cupboard......"
Han Xiao opened the bar cabinet, there were many empty wine glasses in it, all of them were taken out and poured with water, everything was normal, only his own cup was poisonous, and frowned: "There are so many wine glasses, only the cup you gave me is poisonous, how do you explain it?" ”
"I—I don't know, that cup is on the outside, and I really take it in my hand!"
The bartender was scared to pee.
Melos suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and felt palpitations, "If the bartender takes the wrong glass, won't I be finished?!" ”
"Your body is great, poison can't kill you."
Han Xiao replied casually, stared at the trembling bartender, and said, "If it's not you, then someone else has done something in the wine glass, captain!" Is the captain absent? ”
The captain of the spaceship hurriedly arrived and came out of the crowd with a sad face, "I am the captain of the Cailuo, I am deeply sorry for this kind of thing that happened on my ship, and I will fully cooperate with you to find the murderer." ”
"I'm going to call up the spaceship's surveillance footage over the past few days to see who has approached this place."
"As you wish."
With the exception of the bedrooms, most areas of the ship are monitored, including the food room, where the killer can be identified immediately through video footage.
The bartender was pleasantly surprised, "Then I'm okay?" ”
"Are you dreaming?" Han Xiao said angrily: "Tie him up for me and bring him." ”
The captain led everyone to the main control room, and was about to call up the surveillance, but was stunned to find that the video had been cleaned up, and the earliest video was less than a day ago.
"The surveillance footage has all been deleted!" The captain was shocked, "Only I can perform this level of operation, could it be that the ship's system has been hacked, and the other party can actually bypass the alarm mechanism?!" ”
He hurriedly opened the backstage, used his fingerprint pupil membrane to enter the captain's permissions, and initiated the system self-test, but no intrusion vulnerability was found.
"Why can't an intrusion be detected? Could it be that the spaceship is completely controlled by the enemy! ”
The captain was sweating profusely, so he had to check the spaceship operation log, hoping to find the source of the operation ID to delete the footage, this small travel spaceship belonged to an interstellar travel group, the captain was hired, the authority was second, the highest system authority belonged to the group, and the captain could not change the log, so even if the murderer controlled the spaceship, he could not modify the log, unless the other party's technology was strong enough to bypass the quantum network defense of the group headquarters and seize the highest authority.
However, there was no trace of other authorized accounts logging in the log, and everyone quickly discovered the operation record of deleting the video.
[Operation Log #00784315]
[22 hours ago - All surveillance footage cleared, clearance approved, confirmed/returned→ confirmed→ deleted...... Cleaned up]
[Operator: Captain's Account]
