Chapter 404 Insidious move
Chapter 404 Insidious move
Half an hour later - Tourism Administration Headquarters:
A large group of people gathered in front of the computer, watching the surveillance images on the screen.
It was clearly a surveillance video from inside a bank.
At the beginning, the scene was normal. There was a group of people in the bank hall, some withdrawing money, some doing business, just like most days in most banks.
But suddenly, the bank's door was slammed open and a group of people rushed in.
There were six people in total, some holding knives, some holding swords, and even one holding a big hammer.
It can be seen that most of the people in the bank are in a state of confusion, which is not difficult to understand. Bank robbing is a huge novelty in China, and it is a rare spectacle that has not been seen for many years.
Some people didn't even react and just looked like they were watching the fun.
However, the next second, there were flashes of swords and blood and flesh flying everywhere. The group of people who rushed in did not hesitate at all and directly began to massacre the civilians and staff in the hall.
In the blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere, and no one was left alive in the hall.
After killing people, these people immediately started to smash the glass. A burly man who was nearly two meters tall directly used a sledgehammer to smash the tempered glass on the counter. Several people rushed in and began to rob money skillfully. After a while, they came out of the counter with bags full of money and rushed out of the bank.
The whole process took less than three minutes...
Everyone in front of the screen had a grim look on their faces and gritted their teeth.
Especially Xiao Jie, there was no one else - among those six people, he was one of them.
Not only him, he also recognized the others, Dragon Travels the World, Dragon Soars Across the Seas, Hidden Dragon, Unparalleled Chivalry, and Heroic Destruction.
They are all high-level and core members of Longxiang Guild.
Xiao Jie glanced at everyone, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, with red faces.
"Fuck, which bastard dared to frame us? And he even transformed himself into our appearance to rob a bank!"
"Don't let me catch these bastards!"
"Too damn arrogant! This is a blatant frame-up. This video shows what just happened, right? We are all in the hotel, and we have the hotel staff to testify!"
"President, what is going on? Are we wanted now?"
Everyone asked at once, and from time to time they glanced at the people from the Tourism Management Bureau behind them.
Long Xing Tianxia hurriedly reassured everyone, "Don't worry about that. The Tourism Administration contacted me early this morning. Because of the cameras and facial recognition system, the police locked our location immediately. The police were going to send people to arrest us, but because the Players Conference had been notified to the Tourism Administration in advance, someone from the Tourism Administration came forward to help prove it, so it's okay."
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, everything was fine.
Although he holds great power, he does not want to clash with the state apparatus. The key point is that it is obvious that someone has framed him. If he is really listed as a wanted criminal and is really arrested, it would be really disgusting.
Fortunately, the authorities are very observant.
Xiao Jie asked in a deep voice: "Where did those people go later? Did the camera track them?"
Long Xingtianxia sighed, "This is what's strange. These people fled into a KFC, went into the toilet, and then disappeared. The police have already investigated, and there is no trace left at all."
Xiao Jie understood in his heart that since the other party could transform into their appearance, he must also be a game player, possessing extraordinary powers and perhaps even magic, so he could naturally escape.
But who could have done it?
Long Xing Tianxia said: "Tell me, who do you think these people are? Why are they targeting us?"
Long Teng Si Hai said angrily: "It must be the Qing Long Society that did this. Those bastards couldn't beat us in the game, so they played dirty tricks on us offline!"
Long Xingtianxia shook his head, "No, it can't be the Qinglong Society. Zhao Qingyun doesn't dare to enter the country. Besides, they don't have the ability. Even in the immortal arts, there is no such spell."
Xiao Jie also agreed with Long Xingtianxia's judgment.
These people's disguises were very realistic, just like real people. Xiao Jie looked at himself in the picture with a frown on his face.
Could it be the transformation technique from Taoism?
No, the transformation technique can only change oneself. These six people look exactly like Long Xiang’s player. It is definitely not the transformation technique. It is impossible that these six people can all transform.
"It should be the art of disguise, which is the skill of the thief saint." The Phantom of the Dragon suddenly said.
The crayfish said, "No, the disguise technique can only change the appearance, not the body shape. Look at this fake Sihai, he is exactly the same as the real Sihai."
Hongfu Qitian nodded and said, "Indeed, this guy is not only as tall as Sihai, but even his movements are exactly the same. Sihai has a habit of stroking his beard in real life. Look here, this guy has used this action several times. If Sihai hadn't been with us these two days, I would have doubted it. They are so similar."
Long Xingtianxia slapped his thigh and said, "No matter who these people are, we must find them and clear our suspicion. Although the Tourism Administration will help to guarantee us, if they keep killing people and causing trouble in our guise, it will be a huge trouble for us in the end."
Long Xiang and the others all clamored, "Yes, these people actually dared to kill people in the street, and used our appearance, we absolutely cannot tolerate it."
"Find them all and kill them all!"
"I think there might be someone behind these people, and we must get to the bottom of it."
Everyone was filled with indignation, but Long Xingtianxia noticed that Xiao Jie remained silent and thoughtful from beginning to end.
"Brother Suifeng, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Jie raised his head and glanced at everyone, "I wonder what their purpose is in doing this."
Long Teng Sihai disagreed, "Purpose? Isn't it just to divert trouble to us and set a trap for us? They want to kill us."
Xiao Jie shook his head, "No, this is definitely not the other party's real purpose. The other party's disguise is so realistic, even the details are the same, which shows that they have a very deep understanding and research on us.
It is almost an open secret in the game that Long Xiang has an official background. Many people have speculated about this, so it is impossible for the other party not to know about it.
Moreover, they disguised six of us at once. Among these six people, there must be one who has an alibi. As long as we conduct a thorough investigation, we can easily find the flaws.
Coupled with Long Xiang’s official background, this level of frame-up will definitely not end up ruining us. Anyone with a little intelligence can understand this.
So their disguise this time is definitely not all, it is just their first move, and they must have other tricks up their sleeves. "
After Xiao Jie finished speaking, everyone looked thoughtful.
Long Xingtianxia also nodded. A back-up plan... He had also considered this. It was indeed a trouble.
Ding-ling-ling! The phone suddenly rang, and everyone turned around. It was a call from Captain Xu of the Tourism Administration. This man obviously knew Long Xingtianxia, and he was the one who brought everyone here before.
He had been listening in on the discussion just now. Captain Xu picked up the phone and said, "Hello, what? It appeared again? OK, I see. I'll send someone over right away."
He put down the phone, his face solemn, "That group of people took action again, this time it was a bank in the Second Ring Road."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
The bank where the video was just recorded is still in the suburbs, but now the trouble has spread to the city. They are trying to make things out of a big deal.
If this really gets out of hand, and someone takes a picture of it and posts it online, then they'll be in big trouble, and their pants will be covered in mud.
Xiao Jie was also surprised. The other party actually dared to mess around in a place like Beidu. It was simply lawless. Aren’t they afraid of the country’s heavy blows?
At this moment, he vaguely thought of something.
The first thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that the other party is definitely a game player.
Second, these people have a grudge against Long Xiang.
Moreover, the other party does not take the Tourism Administration seriously at all.
And the person who meets the above conditions - a name suddenly flashed through Xiao Jie's mind.
"Pantheon!" he suddenly said.
"These people are most likely the work of the Pantheon."
Everyone was surprised, but then they felt it was very reasonable.
"Pantheon? What are they going to do to us?"
"It must be because of Bai Long! He's angry because we stole the boss!"
"When we were fighting the White Dragon, the Pantheon took action, but they were repelled by the Nine Heavens Ring."
"Yes, that's definitely the case. These bastards can't win in the game so they run into real life to do dirty things!"
Xiao Jie shook his head again, "No, it won't be that simple."
Chen Tianwen told him that the goal of the Pantheon is to become immortal and gain powerful strength. Such people would never fight to the death with Long Xiang just to vent their personal anger.
There must be a deeper purpose behind their actions.
Long Xing Tianxia's response was decisive, "No matter what their purpose is, we must arrest them first.
This time we have no choice but to take action. Let's go and capture these pretenders first. Captain Xu, I will go with you."
"Okay, I'll coordinate with the higher-ups and let you work with my people as consultants." Captain Xu was very happy.
Long Xing Tianxia added: "This operation is in reality. We may have to fight or even kill people in reality. Everyone can sign up voluntarily. No one will be forced. Those who don't want to go can stay here and wait for the result.
"I go!"
"I am coming too!"
"And I!"
When they heard that they would be fighting in real life, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they signed up enthusiastically.
Although you get such powerful strength in the game, you don't have many opportunities to use it in reality. At most, you can show off your martial arts skills when you have nothing to do.
Now that they heard that there was a chance to fight and even kill people in real life, everyone became excited.
"If you kill someone in a battle, it wouldn't be considered a crime, right?" Ye Luo suddenly asked.
"No, it's not a pity for such a person to die."
"Then count me in."
Seeing the high morale, Long Xingtianxia nodded in satisfaction, "That couldn't be better."
"Brother Suifeng, come with us. If we work together, those people will never be able to escape."
Xiao Jie said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that the other party might have calculated that we would catch them?"
Long Xingtianxia frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Jie explained: "If nothing unexpected happens, the other party must have a complete action plan, everyone can understand this.
Since they dared to pretend to be us, they must have realized that we would attack them, but they still did it. In other words, our arrest was exactly what they had predicted, and it might even be their purpose. "
"You mean, this was an ambush? They ambushed us after we went there?"
"No, it shouldn't be..." Xiao Jie analyzed: "If we take action, we must be well prepared. In addition, we have the cooperation of the Tourism Administration. No matter how you look at it, they don't have any advantage at all. If they really want to attack us, it would be more reasonable to just run to the hotel and launch a surprise attack.
If my guess is correct, when our people pass by, these six people will disappear again, and then - their purpose may be truly exposed."
"So my suggestion is that you can send people, but not all of them. You must be prepared for the enemy's next move. If I'm right, you should know the answer soon."
Long Xing Tianxia thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense. There are only six people on the other side. We have the assistance of the police and the special forces of the Tourism Bureau, so there is no need to be too cautious. We can just send a few people over. There is no need to mobilize all of them. Brother Suifeng, your analysis is good. Can you also analyze the real purpose of the other party?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself, how can I analyze this? I can't tell fortunes.
"I'm at a loss as to what to do about this. Is there anyone in the club who can tell fortunes? Can you please tell me?"
"Afu will."
"Damn, don't push everything onto me." Hongfu Qitian decisively refused to take the job, probably because he had some concerns.
"Strawberry Coke? You can tell fortunes, right?"
"I'm a celestial master, not a blind fortune teller. I can catch ghosts, but fortune telling is not my specialty."
At this moment, a weak voice suddenly said, "Brother Jie, I think I may have an idea. Do you still remember the opening of the Lost Temple?"
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Gu Feiyu who spoke.
The others were confused, but Xiao Jie immediately understood what he meant.
A few years ago, there was a very popular game. At that time, their studio collectively entered the game. In order to make a name for the studio, Wuji Studio prepared to take the first kill of the first team copy in the game at that time - the Lost Temple.
But at the same time, several other studios were also planning on this. At that time, Wuji Studio once got the progress advantage of the first place. As a result, it was unknown which studio used shady tricks and reported Wuji Studio for employing child labor, engaging in illegal pornographic activities, financial fraud, and illegal fundraising. In short, many false charges were made against them.
And it wasn't just one person who reported it, it was a bunch of people who reported it.
As a result, the guild was halfway through its development when the cyber police came to check the water meter. Although it was later explained that there was no such mess, the development of the new land was ultimately delayed after a lot of trouble.
In the end, the first kill was taken away by another studio, and Wuji Studio returned empty-handed.
Xiao Jie was very angry at that time.
When Gu Feiyu mentioned the past, he immediately reacted.
He said hurriedly: "The other party's target is not in reality - but in the game! Wait a minute, I will make a few calls."
Xiao Jie picked up the phone and dialed them one by one.
Although most of the players came to attend the conference this time, some of them stayed in the game. In order to prevent any accidents, Xiao Jie arranged for a person in charge to stay at each important stronghold and report the situation at any time.
"Hey, is there anything unusual in Luoyang City? Well, good, let's continue."
"Hey, is there any situation in Black Rock Village? Okay, got it."
"Hey, is there anything unusual happening over there, City Lord? Yeah, I see."
"Hey, is there anything unusual in Zhenhunguan recently? What - is there another dark tide?"
Xiao Jie's voice suddenly became higher.
He quickly calculated that the last time the Yin Tide broke out was when they went to Zhenhun Pass to find Fenglinhuoshan for a deal, and it has only been three days.
Considering the important location of Zhenhun Pass, he made a special deal with the local players, recruited a few people into the guild, and arranged for them to report any abnormal situations to him.
I didn't expect it would come in handy.
