Kolotia's previous method of mentally suppressing and controlling other players and using this to detain them no longer worked.

Not to mention how difficult it is to carry out, how many people are needed to cooperate, and how impossible it is not to be discovered, it is completely impossible just because of the change in the death and resurrection mechanics.

Unlike the "Recall Rollback" mechanic implemented in quests, if a player dies outside of a quest, they will be resurrected in the temple or graveyard to which they are bound for a certain period of time.

The Priest's "Mental Suppression" spell requires the Priest player to cast the spell continuously in order to maintain control over the target. And since the casting of skills with the help of the game system is entirely determined by the will of the caster - no matter how physically restricted, the spell can be successfully cast. In this way, many self-harm spells can successfully play themselves to death.

Two of the captured players have the ability to use their skills to consume themselves to death. The determination to die for freedom could not have been so difficult.

However, they are still in a state of vanishing.

"If it was just the original method, Kolotia couldn't have been the culprit in kidnapping those people."

It only takes a little simple reasoning to come to such a conclusion. This kind of thing is not unthought about by Inbaca and Vanessa. It is for this reason that Vanessa insists that Kolotia is the one who has nothing to do with the incident. Moreover, even if it was really related, as long as Kolotia did not cooperate, then the two of them would not have the ability to investigate.

Under this kind of asymmetry of information and ability, in front of the other party, any investigation and reasoning can only be a joke like a joke. If you forcibly suspect the other party's words, the only result can be self-inflicted humiliation.

However, Imperka went to Kolotia at the first stop, not only because of the lack of clues, so I wanted to be able to get Jianyì at the same time as confirmation, but also because of ......

Relatives and friends of the four missing men - that is, members of their trade unions - insist that Kolotia was responsible. Even they themselves couldn't say why, but the investigation of Kolotia was already impossible to refuse.

Although it was only a reluctant interview, since they had already contacted Kolotia and recorded the content of the conversation, as a "crossover", it took a day for the two of them to report the results of the investigation.

And then, naturally, those guys still have that attitude.

They refused to accept any claims from the two to prove that Kolotia had nothing to do with the matter, and they insisted on monitoring Kolotia's movements, and even proposed to temporarily put Kolotia under house arrest - only to be stopped on the spot by Andun, the president of Traveler's Tears.

"I advise you that you should all be in moderation. Do you feel qualified to make such a request? Or do you think you have what it takes to put her under house arrest? How many things did she do if Sun City could develop into what it is now? Did she ask for something? Compared to you—"

Halfway through Anton's words, the room was silent.

As one of the three major hosts of the guild cooperation meeting, the voice of the president of Traveler's Tears still has a certain strength.

But what exactly was Anton's halfway point?

Inberka was very interested in this.

"Compared to you ......"

"These" what?

Maybe it's because the fate card he got from the soothsayer Kia really has the ability to make people lucky, or maybe it's because the instincts that Imbaka had been working on for a long time have taken effect again, and this time the investigation is unimaginably smooth.

As mentioned earlier, soul shards are a necessary resource for merchant players whose main content is crafting and trading, and they are often dropped when fighting monsters. However, because of the amount of space it consumes in the backpack, soul fragments are so difficult to trade that this resource is often wasted. Kolotia solves this problem by providing some kind of special prop, but in the course of these transactions, Kolotia will take 30% of the transaction value.

Although it may seem like a lot, the fact is that the use of soul shards is a great deal for those who are merchant-type players, and it is still a very suitable trade for those who are merchant-type players. However, even so, there will still be some irregularities......

And the results of Inberka and Vanessa's investigation in the last two days are-

As the "player community" of the official organization of the entire Sun City and the surrounding area, it has the function of organizing novice players to combo. And some of the regional leaders of this guild will be bribed by some guilds to resell the soul fragments that should have been sold to the player community to some other small commercial guilds in the transaction of recovering soul fragments.

Although this kind of thing is not made public for various reasons, if you want to find out about it, it is not difficult to investigate some information:

The guilds to which the four missing people belonged were all offending guilds that bypassed the player community and directly purchased soul fragments from the regional leader.

No wonder those people were so suspicious of Kolotia, it was a coincidence that this kind of thing happened, and no matter how you think it, it was the work of those involved. And it is only natural that Kolotia, who has disappeared for a long time after announcing her resignation as the host of the "Gamer Community" organization a month ago, will be the first to be suspected.

"No wonder you're suspicious of Kolotia, those guys." Vanessa's face was not good, and her tone was also full of impatience: "Do you want to make a handful of money for public welfare projects, those vampires are really embarrassed?" ”

Vanessa's voice grew louder and louder, "Also proposing to spy on or even house arrest Kolotia?" It's shameless to be so shameless—"

"Vanessa, you've been a bit of a bad guy lately."

Inberka stood on tiptoe and patted Vanessa's shoulder - Vanessa's race choice is "forest elf", even if the body type is a girl who still has room for development, the height is not as a human Lori's Inberka can touch the shoulder lightly.

Vanessa took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Kolotia is my friend."

"But now we've accepted the commission...... Ahh Anyway, we're going to continue the investigation. Or do you think you don't believe her yourself? ”

Vanessa was silent.

Although Vanessa, who had spent some time with Kolotia, did not think that she knew Kolotia very well. That person always has a rather mysterious "air of confidence", although he is actually a person who is not difficult to get along with and very warm-hearted, but on the surface he always seems a little cold, and he also likes to avoid crowds or various activities.

In other words, there's only one thing Vanessa can confirm.

"Kolotia is a good person."

"Yes, but the truth is still waiting for us. However, if you want to quit, you can't ......."

"No, let's keep up the good work, my partner."

"Okay."
