Chapter 168 The Current Situation of Lucheng

Chapter 168 The Current Situation of Lucheng
Lucheng, Countermeasures Bureau.

The players in the strategy bureau were all in a hurry, with worried looks on their faces.

Since the start of the second public beta, various things have come one after another, with large and small meetings happening non-stop. I have been so busy in the middle that I wish I could split one person in half.

From time to time, there is some bad news, such as a strange thing happened somewhere, a murder happened, or a colleague died...

With all these things piling up, the atmosphere in the bureau became more and more depressing day by day.

No matter how uncomfortable I felt in the horror copy before, at least I was safe after returning to reality, and I could completely relax and cultivate my body and mind.

And now, even the real world is starting to have problems.

It’s like the work is already very stressful, but the only day off that can be used to relax requires intensive overtime work.

Who can withstand this!
Especially after the challenge copy "Security Booth on Duty" got out of control, the entire Lucheng became more and more wrong, with signs of impending storm.

Even though we still don't know what the consequences will be if the out-of-control copies cannot be dealt with for a long time, everyone knows that it will never be a good thing.

Director's Office.

Zhao Benkuan sat on a leather sofa, a thick cigar in his mouth, looking at the information on the computer screen in front of him with a frown.

The ashtray on the table in front of him was already filled with cigar butts.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door.

Zhao Benkuan said in a deep voice: "Come in."

Zhan Shen walked in from outside with a stack of materials in his hand and came in to report on his work.

After he came out of the copy, he first dealt with the affairs at home, and then it happened that the second public beta was about to start, and the Countermeasures Bureau was short of staff.

Zhan Shen is quite powerful. In the Lucheng Strategy Bureau, he is one of the strongest people below the extraordinary players.

Relying on his own strong ability, seniority and rich experience in coping with high-difficulty dungeons, he was directly promoted to captain of the special operations team, directly under the command of Director Zhao Benkuan, assisting in handling various matters.

Zhao Benkuan assigned him several important tasks.

There is great terror between life and death, which can best temper and change people. A brave and fearless person may become afraid of death after experiencing death.

People who were originally afraid of death may become fearless after experiencing the experience of life and death.

Zhan Shen once struggled desperately in the "Puppet Game Castle" copy, using all means and trying his best to come back alive and see his family again.

But when he actually came back alive, he found that it was just like that.

I am not as important as he thought. The world will continue to turn around even without me. My wife is living a happy life after becoming my ex-wife. My parents will be very sad for a short period of time, but after that period of time, this matter will also pass.

Seeing that the real world is also becoming dangerous, many players are eager to stay away from the challenge dungeon, for fear of being selected to sign up for the challenge dungeon.

But Zhan Shen did the opposite and wanted to take this opportunity to give it a try.

Danger is also opportunity.

Maybe I can create some extraordinary abilities for myself, and then I can truly become the number one player!
You have to know that in the huge Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau, there are only three people with extraordinary abilities.

One of them is Director Zhao Benkuan.

The other two are also powerful figures in the branch, and their words carry a lot of weight.

He also wanted to experience this feeling and sit at this level!
Zhan Shen reported: "Director, the search for that 'gaming geek' has not made any progress."

"The other party is very likely from our Lucheng, but he has no intention of showing up and does not seem to want to contact our Countermeasures Bureau."

“Then, the impact of the “Security Booth on Duty” copy is still expanding.”

"According to observations by the bureau and outside players, security guards in blue uniforms have begun to move around in a wider area."

"It seems like they are looking for the next location to settle in."

"Also, regarding the nightmare-level challenge dungeon 'Shared Rental', the second batch of four players sent in to conquer it have all died."

"They sent back four copies of 'Blood Red Intelligence Fragments', and the contents are as follows."

"Blood Information Fragment 1: Blank. - Gamer"

"Fragment 2: If you stay alone with the landlord, you will be killed! - Born as a cow or a horse"

"Fragment 3: Escape from the street and you will surely die! - Passerby A"

"Fragment 4: If you stay alone with the landlord, you will be killed! - Leek Cutter"

Bloody intelligence fragments are a special type of intelligence fragment produced by challenge copies.

Every time a player dies, he will give away a "bloody intelligence fragment", which contains the information he considers most valuable.

The content may be repetitive and of little value, but horror games will ensure authenticity.

If the message sent by the player is wrong, the content of the torn page will become blank.

Generally, the contents of the information fragments can only be known by the user and cannot be relayed to people who have not experienced the copy.

But the bloody intelligence fragments are different, the contents recorded in them can be recounted.

This is a convenience provided by horror games to allow players to complete and challenge dungeons.

Zhao Benkuan felt a pain in his heart. These four players were the elite of the Countermeasures Bureau.

And they are willing to respond to the call of the Countermeasures Bureau and make sacrifices to take risks in the dungeon.

As a result, he died so easily in the challenge copy!

Zhao Benkuan: "Share the contents of the intelligence fragments with the think tank and ask them to analyze as much as possible."

"In addition, we must do a good job of comforting their families."

Zhan Shen nodded vigorously: "I understand."

"In this regard, our Countermeasures Bureau will never make any mistakes."

If someone dies while working for the bureau, his family must be taken care of as much as possible.

Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives?

As for him, if he came back and found that his parents were not well taken care of after his death.

He will definitely not work hard for the Countermeasures Bureau anymore.

Where else can I be as dedicated as I am now?

Zhao Benkuan asked, "How about the players who are trying out "Security Booth Duty"?"

Zhan Shen responded fluently: "Since the two bloody intelligence fragments came out yesterday, no new bloody intelligence fragments have come out."

"Based on the number of people who entered, there are nine players from our countermeasures team inside, including Zhang Tieshu, Song Mu..."

"In short, the danger level of this copy is much lower than that of "Shared Rental"."

"Although it is difficult to pass the level, it is not a problem to survive in there for the time being."

Zhao Benkuan: "It's not that easy to clear this instance."

"According to the summary of the countermeasures bureaus in various places, most of the extremely difficult challenge dungeons can be passed with the help of the hints in the bloody intelligence fragments."

"But there are also a few extremely difficult dungeons. Even if the message is passed on, there is no way to find targeted means to clear them."

"'Security Booth on Duty' is one such instance. There are also instances in other places with the same situation, and many of them have also gotten out of control."

"If that doesn't work, we can only let players with extraordinary abilities go in and try."

Zhan Shen looked at Zhao Benkuan and said, "Um, Chief, do you mean to say that you are going to personally deal with this out-of-control copy?"

The flesh on Zhao Benkuan's face twitched, and he quickly took a puff of his cigar: "Well... I just mentioned this briefly, and we still need to think about this matter in the long run."

"If I really need to help, then I will naturally not refuse, but the situation is not clear enough now. Even if I go down, it may not have an immediate effect."

"Besides, there are too few players with extraordinary abilities. If any of them get killed, it would be a huge loss for the Countermeasures Bureau!"

"I'm not afraid of death. I just want to use my extraordinary abilities to the greatest extent possible for the Countermeasures Bureau. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhan Shen nodded vigorously: "I understand, I understand very well."

"It's just an extremely difficult instance, not worthy of your intervention."

He really felt that what Zhao Benkuan said made sense. Although he seemed a little afraid of death, it was indeed the truth.

Zhao Benkuan nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up: "This young man is teachable! Looking at you, I know that you understand me."

"We can't be afraid of death, but we can't act rashly in the heat of the moment. We'll lose our lives in vain. We need to know how to protect ourselves."

"It's rare to find young people like you who are so flexible in their thinking and who know how to consider issues from a global perspective."

"Do your best, I'm counting on you!"

"Maybe you'll have a chance to take my place later."
