Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2094: Showing Sincerity

When he returned to the Time Tower from 12th Street and was about to head to 10th Street, he happened to run into Wang Ling and Long Jianfeng coming from a distance. As they landed on the buildings of 10th Street, two streaks of light quickly followed them, being deflected by the defensive barrier before quickly adjusting their direction in mid-air and flying towards them again.

From the state of collision with the defensive barrier, the two Flying Arrows were not high-level attack props, but they had the advantage of speed. Under continuous attack, there was always one or two times they managed to hit the gap in the duo’s defenses.

"What a hassle." Long Jianfeng got his shoulder grazed. The wound was not a big problem, the key issue was the poison on the prop. Although he had taken the antitoxin, he still felt dizzy and confused, and it seemed that the symptoms would not ease for a while.

"We can’t separate, and we can’t stay together either." Wang Ling attempted to catch the two arrows but never succeeded, flexing his fingers a bit, "Slippery as soap."

His gaze quickly scanned the surroundings but he never spotted the person chasing them.

Just as another Flying Arrow attacked, the two were about to jump off the building when the ground suddenly gave way beneath them, sending them plunging through the ceiling to the floor below.

Wang Ling and Long Jianfeng’s expressions changed, and they immediately dashed towards the nearest wall. Just as they were about to break through, they turned back to see Xu Huo standing where they had just been, raising his hand and brushing the arrows, which then turned into dust in mid-air.

The two stopped in their tracks as he said, "Why bother hiding, come out together!"

The next second, the ground under their feet gave way again, and they dropped to the street beside them. Along with them were two other players who seemingly emerged from nowhere. As the two players tried to move, it was as if they were stepping on air in the Spiritual World, causing them to sink underground. Before they could adapt and climb up, the taut secant line wound around them several times, killing one on the spot, while the other used a prop to burrow underground and emerge from the street across.

The "Mirror Space" couldn’t control such a large area, but since spatial teleportation devices were ineffective there, their escape relied on their characteristics and feet. As long as they couldn’t run two kilometers in one breath, they remained within Xu Huo’s Spiritual World.

This way, Xu Huo intercepted him again, with Wang Ling and Long Jianfeng closely behind him.

"Weren’t you good at hiding? Do it again!" Wang Ling sneered, casually throwing a Matryoshka doll. As the Matryoshka fell into his hand, the air around the player visibly condensed into a life-sized Matryoshka, trapping him inside. As he twisted the head off the doll, the player’s head was also twisted 180 degrees.

But the opponent didn’t die. After his head twisted, he suddenly deflated like a balloon. As he floated downwards, they discovered another tunnel beneath his feet.

"Is he a mole spirit?" Long Jianfeng laughed sarcastically, "No wonder we couldn’t see him."

He hadn’t finished speaking when the ground shook, causing the spot they stood on to quickly collapse, followed by several metal frames protruding from places they shouldn’t, upright and aiming skyward.

With floating props, players could easily dodge this trap, but with the ground collapsing, the tunnel excavated by that player was also sealed off. Chasing him down was not possible and even using props to explore such depths would be futile.

"Letting him escape just like that!" Long Jianfeng grumbled, "Those two people were targeting Wang Ling’s time-related item. They’ll definitely come a second time!"

"Maybe they learned a lesson." Wang Ling seemed indifferent, "It’s not so easy to seize a time-related item!"

"By the way, how’d you get here?"

"I encountered another person with a time-related item." Xu Huo said, "His item can stop time, so it’s a bit troublesome."

Wang Ling looked serious, "Could it be the one who came in yesterday?"

Xu Huo nodded, "He has records from yesterday and today."

"Then what are we waiting for, let’s snatch it." Long Jianfeng immediately suggested.

Wang Ling glanced at him, "It’s not that simple. Ordinary items with time-stopping capabilities are often easily broken, just use better items with space-time attributes. Whether responding quickly or slowly, escaping isn’t really tough. If Xu Huo thinks it’s troublesome, that means ordinary space-time items can’t rescue themselves."

"One can imagine that the quality of the opponent’s time-related item isn’t bad, and what if it has other abilities?"

"And what if he’s a Time-Directed Super Evolver, that’s even trickier."

"Without knowing each other’s strengths, it’s better to maintain distance." Xu Huo looked at Long Jianfeng, "You want to seize someone else’s time-related item, but others want to seize ours as well."

Long Jianfeng met their gaze and quickly raised his hands, "You guys hold the time-related item, you decide, I have no objections."

"Any results from the Municipal Government?" Xu Huo returned to the main topic.

"Details and specific addresses of the break-in robbery case are all there; progress is being made. Except for the one who’s still at large and has committed multiple robberies, the others have been captured."

"The Starlet Company’s Protection Shield plan has detailed information from the Municipal Government. Additionally, we found a contract they signed to purchase New Energy Weapons. The specific type of weapon is unknown, but unlike other documents, it bears only the signature of a boss named Landao. ’Dr. Wu’ and other bosses haven’t signed, suggesting it was signed privately."

"There’s internal discord at the Starlet Company; someone wants Dr. Wu out to maximize profits." Long Jianfeng said, "Maybe someone took advantage of the break-in robbery."

Connecting it to what Xu Huo had heard at the company, it’s possible that Dr. Wu’s opposition led to a contract signed by only one person.

"If it’s not an ordinary break-in robbery, wouldn’t finding the source allow us to prevent it in advance?" Wang Ling said.

"Didn’t one person escape? The Municipal Government can’t find him, and the data from the Starlet Company might not be real." Xu Huo added, "If it was an inside job, they would definitely alter the robber’s information, or it might even be that such a person never existed."

"True that." Long Jianfeng said, "Besides, even if the robber is identified, and it’s indeed his doing, can we really stop him?"

No one knows why they were brought into Pumpkin City; at least they need to figure out what happened at 9:17. What if it’s not closely related to the robbery case?

"Let’s start by checking the addresses." Xu Huo said, "They’re just a few streets away."

Just as the three were about to move, a person appeared on the building not far away, throwing down the player who had just escaped, smiling and saying, "If we are to cooperate, of course, we must show sincerity first."
