68 Chapter 68
Things go back a little bit back to the time when the Inspectorate started acting.
The druid and the black cat are still brushing up on the camp routine, occasionally going to the hospital to see the little girl who is still healing, and the game is calm and fulfilling.
They helped a certain NPC who had lost its home to relocate to their home, and received a thank you, and when they left the NPC's home with a gift, they were suddenly stopped by a mysterious person.
"What's the situation?"
"Enemies?"
The druid and the black cat put down their gifts at the same time, looking at the man in black who appeared in front of them with wariness.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." A somewhat familiar voice came from under the hood of the man in black.
Before the druid could react, the black cat had already recognized: "Culens?!" Are youβAre you okay? β
Although the news was blocked by the gang, there were players present at the time, and it is conceivable that the information cannot be blocked, and everyone knows that Karlens is suspected of being attacked by the camp of the Inspection Bureau, and his whereabouts are now unknown.
"Sure enough, you have a unique channel of connection." Cullens took a step back, standing in the corner of the wall so that his figure would not be captured by any monitors.
The druid and the black cat looked at each other;
He's talking about the player forum?
Well, it should be.
"Forget it, that's why I'm here for you." "In accordance with the will of our lord," said Callens, "severe judgment will be given to those who offend the secret church, and for this I need to gather those who are willing to take part in this action." β
At the same time, a system prompt popped up in the ears of the druid and the black cat:
[Special Mission: Faction Summoning Order!] γ
[Mission content: The Inspection Bureau attacked the leader of Black Poker in Operation Thunder, Calens, causing him to almost die, and in exchange, we should also give a stormy gift in return.]
[Task acceptance conditions: Faction honor points reach more than 200/have the friendship of any NPC in the camp, and do not say relevant information before the start of the faction battle, this mission adopts an invitation system, please carefully choose the invitee.] γ
[Mission-limited number of people: 400]
Special Missions! And it's a precursor to the start of faction warfare!
The druid and the black cat gasped and stared at Cullens with burning eyes.
"You should know what to do," said Cullens, "and my lord will be watching this mission, and I hope you ...... Don't let him down. β
βyesοΌsirοΌβ Black Cat and Druid do not hesitate to guarantee.
Cullens' figure disappeared again, and the druid and the black cat looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
"You've got a good candidate, right?"
"Of course," the druid touched his chin, "the players of the previous version feel that they can be invited, newcomers should be cautious, and the most important thing is ......"
"It must not be revealed to players who have a guild, especially those on the side of the Stargazing Guild." Black Cat added, "Let's get moving!" β
As a result, a group of players avoided the forums on the surface, and quietly gathered relatives and friends behind their backs to chat in a dedicated faction channel.
Wait till that, Calens' call!
β¦β¦
"Ahem, cough, ahem!" As she dragged her out of the rubble, Edie felt like she could barely breathe, and she was hit by shrapnel in half of her body, and every breath was a heavy burden on her lungs.
Although they have become transcendental, the physical strength of most investigators is still at the level of ordinary people, unless it is a specific physical enhancement origin ability, otherwise few people in the lower layers can break through the fragility of the human body itself.
Just like now, a bomb can easily kill them.
But if you hadn't been killed on the spot, that's another story.
γDoctorsγ
A warm white light rose from Edie's body, and all the pain he could feel disappeared.
"It's okay, Edie." And Jobra lifted Edy.
"It's okay, thank you, Captain."
"Thank you, we're a group." Job looked around and went to treat Dinah and Eunice as well, but the two were not so badly injured because they didn't go straight into the room.
But it's clear that this is a trap.
Job looked around and pursed his lips, who the hell was it......
Because of the explosion just now, the office has completely collapsed, and the person in the office can't see what the situation is, he may still be inside, or he may have left through the dark passage.
"Captain, we need to get out now!" Edie said, he looked at the portable operation screen on his arm, because of the explosion just now, all the electronic equipment on his body was broken, and there was a new one in the car that could be replaced, "If it was really a trap, they might not just give up." β
Job knew this, too, and his previous experience warned him in his mind that it would not end so easily.
"Let's go!"
Before they were blocked underground, Job and the others went back the same way and took the elevator back to the surface, Edie was anxious to get back to the car to replace the electronic equipment, and as soon as he took a step, he was quickly stopped by Job's eyes.
Where Edie was about to step out, a black bullet mark appeared.
There are snipers!
This concept was instantly injected into everyone's minds, and Edie gritted his teeth: "They have already laid an ambush!" β
But how is this possible? They decided to attack the black boss on the spot, and during this period, everyone's actions were under their noses, with Edie's [Cyber Ghost] there, everyone's mobile phones, computers and other instruments that could be used for communication were monitored, and there was no time to send the news out.
Wait a minute, it seems like there are two people who have time.
Dinah said suddenly, "Destiny was separated from us before. β
"That's only for a while, right? Edmund, who was staying in the stronghold, was also suspicious. Edie complained.
"Don't argue, in short, the most important thing now is to break through the encirclement, and I will go out to attract their attention later."
"Captain!?"
"It's okay," Job remained calm, "My Origin [Healer] is far better on myself than on you, as long as I don't kill with a single blow, I can quickly recover my combat effectiveness." β
"But what if you get a headshot?" Dinah frowned, clearly disapproving.
"It's too unlikely, and you're not ...... either"
They didn't quarrel over this issue, because the crisis in front of them had been resolved, and the destiny was in me They drove two cars to arrive, full of anxiety: "Get in the car!" β
Grass, this camp battle is too cheating, what else is 4vs400 fighting??
Destiny in my doubts, now this situation, I can only hope for the official discipline, said to adjust the combat power, in this case, the NPC on their side should be strong enough to be able to compete with 400 players, right??
I hope so!
Job didn't talk much nonsense, and all four of them got into the first car, which is roughly distributed like this in the car now:
First car: Destiny is in me, Job, Edie, Dinah, Eunice
The second car: Stargazing Michelle, Stargazing Fat Man, Stargazing Backgammon
Edie got a new portable computer in the car, and the whole person's anxiety was immediately calmed down, and he skillfully operated on it, quickly invading all the cameras on this street: "Go this way!" β
The two cars drove away from the neighborhood at a rapid pace, and the gang sniper who was sniping on it hesitated for a moment: "Boss, do you still need to pursue?" β
"No, we don't need to be the first bird." The voice of the black boss who had just escaped death came from the earphones, "Besides, those crazy cultists can't wait." β
They were right, and after the two cars left the neighborhood, they were sniped again.
The first blow broke the car window, and almost shot the driving destiny in my head, and the destiny almost broke down in a cold sweat in my instant, and if he died in the sight of these NPCs, he would not be resurrected!
"Captain Job, there's a sniper."
"I know, Edie." Job looked at Edie.
"It's done, it's done." Edie buried his head in the computer, and according to the angle of the sniper just now, he sent a drone from the car window to interfere.
So the sniper changed its target, and the stargazing team that followed Job behind them was instantly confused.
In the player channel:
"You guys shoot so badly." Baba complained while changing bullets.
"No way, sniping requires at least 50 points to shoot!" Night Night also spoke on the channel, "Are you enough? Oh, you kid seems to have a sniper card, it's too cheating! β
"Hmph~ Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Baba replied, continuing to lean on the rooftop, this time aiming his gun at the tires of the car behind him, "Go with the plan, separate them first." β
[Shooting: Success]
With the sound of a gunshot, the car in which the rest of the stargazing team was sitting was instantly punctured by a tire, and the speed slipped off a lot.
"Grass! They're coming for real! "The fat man in the car is very desperate, saying that since I heard the system prompt just now, they have been desperate, 4vs400, I'm afraid it's not enough points.
He even appealed to the guild for help, only to receive this answer.
Guild: Sorry we haven't heard anything before, we don't know when they planned the operation, and we didn't even have any of the 400 people involved in the attack.
Fatty: So what do we do?
Guild: Well, you can hold out for as long as you can, our guys are buying up the accounts of these 400 players right now.
The fat man's heart instantly rose with a hope: buy the account, and then come to help us?
Guild: No, you guys hold on and don't die so fast, let's see how many honor points we can get.
Guild: Don't worry, the guild will not treat you badly, and will compensate you.
Fatso:???
This is human talk??
Guild: Just kidding, we'd love to test it too, but let's talk about it next time (shrugging) Our guild people are still rushing this way, so hold on.
The fat man switches to the team channel: Captain, help!
Needless to say, Destiny was not intended to leave my team behind, and I was just about to lower my speed, but a few players driving motorcycles suddenly rushed out of the alley next to me, and the players completely liberated their nature, like a real rampant while screaming and throwing nails on the road, separating the two vehicles.
"Tsk! Get out of the way of me and take control of this car! Edie instantly used his ability to take control of the vehicle, and the next moment, the tire that was supposed to be pinched on made a sharp turn and rushed into the alley next to him, and the fat man also gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and directly hit the motorcycle in front of him trying to block the road, trying to keep up.
But soon, both cars were forced to stop.
Ahead, Edie glared at the players who were setting up barricades and motorcycles in the alleyway: "This is a trap......
The area was uninhabited and unmonitored, and he didn't notice that the group had deliberately brought them in.
"Hey, I'm rewarded here!"
The players rushed forward excitedly, knowing that the reward of the NPCs of the opposing camp is 500 honor points, which is not to make a big deal?
Job, who was originally in the car, did not hesitate to push the car door, but there was a figure faster than them, Dina was the first to walk out of the car door, with a weapon similar to a Japanese folding knife in her hand, and the player who originally wanted to ride a motorcycle to crash into it was in front of him, and directly lost control of his arm, and the scene he saw in the afterglow of the perspective turned out to be his hand flying, and the motorcycle lost control and crashed into the wall.
At the same time, Eunice stepped out with a big smile on her face, and grabbed the players who rushed in front of her one by one, and threw them directly as weapons with her seemingly weak wrists.
Eunice's origin ability [Hercules], a simple and easy-to-use body enhancement type, basically invincible in close combat, with Dinah's double blades, the two of them are like entering no man's land, originally the player planned to use the crowd tactics to defeat this group of people, but in the narrow alley, it became their home field.
"?"
The player was shocked, you must know that there is usually a reward dice for bullying more and less, but in this way, there is no way to break the two.
The Destiny that was shrunk in the car breathed a sigh of relief in my instant, he remembered the adjustment of the previous game announcement, and a hope rose in his heart, there is no doubt that NPCs are also counted in the camp power, so doesn't it mean that these people from the Inspection Bureau can compete with the players.
"Shoot away from her!"
The voice of a black cat can be heard in the player's channel.
The players who had planned to rush up to the brawl instantly stopped and retreated, while the next group of players excitedly raised their guns and aimed them in front of them.
That's why Cullens wants players to steer the enemy faction into street fighting, where no matter how strong they are, they can't escape the muzzle of a gun.
At the same time, because of the unobstructed environment of the roadway, there is too little space to escape, and people are simply the target of activity here.
Eunice was shot in the limbs instantly, she snorted in pain, and Edie in the car hurriedly pulled her into the car to dodge.
But everyone knows that this only makes death come faster.
Bang, bang
"These crazy people!" Edie noticed that the fuel tank behind it had been broken, and if the fuel tank exploded, he and the others would definitely die if they were so close, and the group would not be happy, but they didn't seem to care, and even Edie saw someone behind him raise a burning bomb
"No way, Dinah."
"I know, Captain." Dinah took her glasses off.
Phew-
The players behind were already eager to reap the rewards, and a burning bomb passed over the heads of all the players and fell into the ground next to the fuel tank in a beautiful parabola.
In an instant, huge fires and explosions filled the alley.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, what a neurosis, we haven't retreated yet!"
"Damn, how can such honor points be counted, they won't be harvested by one person, right??"
The player immediately made an uproar, and when the smoke cleared, there was nothing in place.
That's right, literally, the car has been blown up, but there is no one in the car, there is no blood, there is nothing.
&nbs
p; The player who threw the incendiary bomb scratched his hair: "I didn't receive any points." β
What's going on?
"Teleportation." Calens, who had been observing the battle from afar, muttered, "Hacking, melee, healing, and getting out of the battle, the abilities are really perfect." β
"After all, it's the elite of the Inspection Bureau," Rann said calmly, "If I don't have any skills at all, I'll be surprised." β
"But if they think that's the end of it, they'd be naΓ―ve."
This faction battle is also a chance for Edmund to completely cleanse the suspicions.
Edmund is under suspicion because of the player squad.
That is, let the player squad completely lose credibility in the eyes of the inspection bureau.
Destiny was dark in front of my eyes, and it lit up again, and the scene around him had changed, and he sat in place for a long time, until Job had already used his ability to heal the injuries of the team members, and then he came back to his senses and was dumbfounded: "What was that just now?" Transferred? β
Dinah glanced at him and put her glasses back on, "It's about the same, but it's not that convenient." β
She obviously didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't care about destiny, and he knew very well that he would be brought in purely because he was also in the car.
Hey, wait, that's what to say......
Destiny is in me: "I, my teammates, they ......"
Job gave an apologetic look at the right time: "I'm sorry, we didn't have time to think about it that much at that time. β
in the player team channel
Fat Man: Brother - help, help, help!
Backgammon: They're crazy
In addition to the Destiny of Destiny in me, the other three members of the stargazing team were in another car, and they were right behind the NPC's vehicle, and after their car exploded, the aftermath overturned the player's car, which was unlucky enough, and even more unfortunate was that the NPC disappeared, and the players who didn't get enough points went completely crazy and are now chasing them.
"Don't run! You won't die anyway, so what about giving us a slash?! β
Fat man: ", don't chase me with a knife, who can not run?" β
"You don't hurt and you don't die!"
The remaining three players of Stargazing were chased by the players behind them and their scalps were numb, which was obviously to treat them as renewable mobs!
"Why bother players!"
"Who made you stand on the other side? Who can blame this, stand still and let us cut a few knives. β
"This stop will be submerged, who will stop!"
The fat man and the others sent a distress signal to Destiny and me and the guild while running, chasing a group of jackals, tigers and leopards behind them, and it was sad to see and cry when they heard it.
Destiny heard what happened to the fat man when I heard about them, and while wiping a cold sweat, I sighed that I was lucky to get in the right car, and couldn't wait to ask: "What are we going to do now?" β
Destiny was the last place they passed through before leaving the bustling city, and they had stopped here before, and Dinah had gotten off here at that time, and I couldn't help but guess that maybe it had something to do with her abilities.
"It's not safe now," said Dinah, "and we're going a little further." β
With no objections, Edie used his abilities to find a car again, and the group discussed the attack in the car.
"Gotta figure out what's going on with this group of people." Job's brow seemed to grip a fly, "Why did our actions leak?" β
Everyone present remained silent, but I don't know why Destiny felt bad in me, in his perception that Job was only going out to say the destination (Job was deliberately hiding Edmund's affairs, and the stargazing team thought that Edmund was no longer trusted and didn't know about this operation), so the only people who knew what they were going to do today were the people from the Inspection Bureau, and the stargazing team.
And Job must have been more suspicious of outsiders than his own.
"I wonder if we were found when we entered the block...... Something like that. β
"They were too well prepared to be likely." Edie shook his head to reject this possibility, the object of their suspicion was still between Edmund and the Stargazing Team, but compared to Edmund, who had already passed the test, it was definitely the Stargazing Team that was a little more suspicious.
As if to confirm their suspicions, the vehicle had only driven less than a hundred meters before it was attacked by the players again, and Edie struggled to control the vehicle to dodge, while the faces of the others were extremely ugly.
In fact, the truth is that because Callens left marks on them, they can always track Job's location, and then send the location to the black cat, and the black cat is synchronized to the faction channel, and Job and they just bumped into the players who came one after another.
But Job and the others didn't know this, and they had the horror of being chased for their lives wherever they went.
If the previous ambush may have been done by Edmund, now that the other party is not here, and their positions are exposed all the time, there is only one possibility.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the temple of Destiny.
"Get out of the car." Dinah said coldly.
Destiny is in me: "...... I'm really not a spy, I'm not betraying your position! β
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another familiar car in the rearview mirror, and the person who drove it was still familiar to me.
There are three of the remaining Stargazing Squads, who are driven out by the player and forced to drive this side, like a shepherd dog driving away a flock of sheep from the team.
This feeling makes the fat people feel humiliated but helpless, this is obviously this group of people want to drive them together to facilitate the scoring, and it is convenient to end this activity at any time, but there is no way, if you don't follow them, this group of players can really make them score on the spot.
And the fat man, they have also seen the combat effectiveness of the NPCs of the Inspection Bureau before, if they pick a good terrain and divide the battlefield, there is no hope of killing a few more players of the Hidden Church, so they also come over and join the NPCs of the Inspection Bureau with half a push.
He didn't know what kind of embarrassing situation Destiny was in on my side, as soon as he finished saying that his side didn't reveal their location, in the blink of an eye, his teammates caught up with a clear purpose, what kind of thing is this!
"Go down, don't let me repeat it a second time." Dinah's eyes became colder, and I had no choice but to get out of the car and wait for my teammates' cars to pick me up.
However, when they parked, there seemed to be more and more motorcycles around, and there were still many people at the service station before, but as they gradually advanced, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians near the city.
Edie looked in the car's rearview mirror and somehow had a bad feeling.
And then this hunch soon came true.
A smoke-filled β‘β‘ hits the side of the street, and Job yells and jumps out of the car, and Edie tries his best to control the car to dodge, before Eunice pulls at the collar and jumps out of the door, and the vehicle they were in is shattered in an explosion.
Destiny was just in my car at the moment, and everyone in the stargazing team gathered again, and before they could communicate, they saw the car of the inspection bureau in front of them being attacked again.
The fat man said happily: "Boss, it's good that you're not on it, otherwise we would have been reduced by now." β
The only female member of the stargazing team was numb: "With all due respect, we might as well die in front of the NPC and reduce the number of players, otherwise do you want to become a tool for scoring points?" β
Thinking of that kind of fate, several people in the car trembled in unison, and of course they could see what the group of players behind them were not in a hurry to kill them.
I must know that those people want to try to use the resurrection mechanism to brush up points!
"We can't give up, we can endure it any longer." Destiny gritted my teeth, "The people in the guild have already rushed over, they don't have that many players, we still have a chance!" β
As soon as I finished speaking, a number of black vehicles appeared around the place where I saw the explosion of the vehicle, and these vehicles quickly stopped, and a group of armed thugs came out of it.
Ah Long walked in the front, glanced at the stargazing team's vehicles, and waved his big hand: "Divide the battlefield, you don't have to pay attention to these people, concentrate on dealing with those over there!" β
He was referring to the NPCs in the camp of the Inspection Bureau, when the druids contacted Aaron and them before, this group of people came up with an idea of lacking morality, points, they want to brush, and NPCs should try to stay!
At this time, the Black Poker people released the inspection bureau as the real culprit of the 'attack' on Calens, and they will also hunt down the rest of the leaders who survived the banquet, these leaders are naturally unwilling to be slaughtered, and it is rare to unite and temporarily lend their manpower to the people of the secret church to command.
Although they had escaped for a while because of Dinah's abilities, the situation was still under control.
"These are the people who are hunting our leader?"
"It should be."
"Up, beat them!"
There were a dense number of people over there, and the players behind rushed up with a smirk, and the destiny of heaven gritted my teeth: "Fight with them!" β
On the side of the inspection bureau, although he jumped from the attacked vehicle in time, no one died on the spot, Job's treatment healed the injuries of the team members again, and the four of them looked back to back at the gangsters and players who surrounded this side, and Job whispered: "Edie, help, Dinah, planA." β
"Understood." Dinah and Edie said at the same time.
After being investigators for so long, they have not encountered such a crisis situation, so they naturally have an escape plan, and now is not the time to despair.
Edie used his ability to send a call for help to two places in an instant, one was their stronghold, where Edmund stayed with Kerry and Archie, and the other was the police station, far water could not save the fire, and the headquarters of the inspection bureau was far away from here, but as official investigators, they had the ability to temporarily mobilize the police force.
"In the direction of 25 degrees northeast, the police will be the first to be dispatched." Edie whispered.
At the same time, Edie's last use of the ability [Cyber Ghost] sparks from the last half-damaged laptop computer in his hand, and all the vehicles around him emitted a loud alarm at the same time.
Edie snorted, nosebleeds, and his face was extremely pale, he had overused his power today, and Eunice carried the person behind him, and while everyone was panicking, he rushed into the crowd.
Job and Dinah broke through in the other direction, and before the two teams parted, Dinah quietly put a red marker into Eunice's arms.
This is their planA, and it is also the most commonly used breakthrough technique of Job's team in the past, it is not very difficult, and it is even quite simple in principle, that is, it is divided into two teams to break through, prompting the number of enemies to disperse, because Eunice has a deceptive appearance, the enemy will often divide more combat power to Job's side, and the farther away the people on both sides are, the better, and when it is about the same, Dinah will use the 'mark', teleported back to Eunice, and then concentrated on breaking through.
This is also their more commonly used cooperation, Dinah's origin ability [courier] can take people to move to the position where the marker is placed in advance, the more people with it, the shorter the distance can be moved, only one mark can be placed at a time, and the condensed mark must be a red triangular object.
However, they could not see that there was a strange plant hidden among the thugs, as if they were in another dimension.
Rann had Cullens transfer a true believer to blend in with these gang members, in fact, in order to lay down the spiritual seed and watch the live broadcast, so he happened to capture the scene where Dinah placed the marker.
Thinking of the sudden disappearance of the members of the inspection bureau before, Rann narrowed his eyes.
The plant, which had been a small seedling, instantly began to grow, growing a pliable strip according to Ran's imagination, and as Eunice concentrated on dealing with the surrounding gangsters and players, the strip moved lightly and pulled the mark from her arms.
Then Rann opened his eyes in the kingdom of God, and the red triangular marker appeared in his hand, and Rann thought about it and transferred the mark to Culens.
Since he wants to take revenge with his own hands, it is better to fulfill him.
β¦β¦
Edmund, who was in the colony, received a request for reinforcements and walked out of the room.
For some reason, he had been feeling like he had forgotten something, but Edmund searched his memory carefully, and he didn't seem to have forgotten anything.
Forget it, the most important thing now is to go to the captain and them, they must have an accident now, maybe they are still in a bitter battle, they have to hurry up and help them.
Edmund's room went straight to Archie's, and when he passed by Archie's room, the doctor's cold voice came from the door.
"Where are you going?"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, go get some food. Edmund replied subconsciously, thinking that it was good that Archie couldn't see his expression, otherwise he might be seen through.
Before leaving, Job told him to look at Archie as much as possible, and be careful not to let him leave, but fortunately there was still Kerry in the stronghold, and he should be able to look at Archie instead of him for the time being.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Archie stood in the doorway looking at him, and Edmund was startled, his eyes subconsciously dodging.
Archie glanced up at the surveillance in the corridor outside, the red dot that had been lit was turned off, presumably the fierce form outside, and the hacker had no time to care about this side.
Very good.
Archie stared into Edmund's eyes and silently made a lip shape.
Ran, Eun
Edmund recognized the word, which was strange, as if it had been deeply engraved in his head.
The next moment, the memories that had been temporarily suppressed by the hint rolled out again, and Edmund remembered everything again.
He knew that he was in a state where he could be found out at any moment, and Edmund remembered what Rann had said to him not long ago.
To separate the identity of the gatekeeper from Ranne, or never think that they are one.
In retrospect, it may have been a hint a long time ago that when there was a crisis, it was better to completely forget who Lord Rann was, preferably to the extent that he had lied to himself.
At this time, Archie appeared beside him, so Edmund felt that he had fully understood Lord Lanne's intentions, and the best way to solve the crisis now was for him to forget this memory for a while, and then solve his suspicions through a lie detector or anything.
So he went to find Archie, and the time point was just before the stargazing team found Job and said that Edmund was undercover, at this time Edmund had temporarily forgotten about Rann, and naturally the relationship with Archie became cold, and in Job's opinion, Edmund had been keeping a distance from Archie, making a subtle time difference.
The back can pass the Truth Helmet, naturally because Edmund really doesn't remember anything.
And now, Archie judged that it was time to unravel the hint.
The setting of key words is naturally their belief itself.
Edmund grinned, and his originally obedient smile instantly became crazy:
"It seems to be getting very busy outside," he said, "and I just want to go and have fun." βοΌοΌοΌ.
