Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2139

At this moment, Xu Huo also released the Mental Interference, allowing the two players patrolling outside to see the dim light inside the office.

The two Advanced Players dashed in and kicked open the office door, "just in time" to encounter Zhao Zizhen who had gathered the files and was ready to leave.

"Leaf Blindness!" Zhao Zizhen threw a prop and crashed through the window, while the two players, although a step behind, quickly followed suit, notifying their colleagues as well. By the time Zhao Zizhen stepped out of the transport company, six players had surrounded her.

Six against one, all Advanced Players, the rotating props and instruments made Zhao Zizhen a bit overwhelmed. During the chase in the city, Xu Huo was trailing about two streets away, occasionally patching up Zhao Zizhen.

"Bang!" Amidst this, a player used a prop to knock Zhao Zizhen into a building still under construction. At the moment the external wall shattered, all the robots inside the building automatically ceased their work and stood still, issuing warnings to the intruder.

"This building is under construction, building materials may fall, please leave quickly."

"This building is under construction, building materials may fall, please leave quickly."

Zhao Zizhen rolled over two robots, ultimately tumbling next to a pile of building materials. As she looked at the surrounding six people, she swiftly adjusted her posture but was struck by Characteristics just as she stood up, her legs weakened, and she kneeled on the ground. At this moment, she seemed to finally feel the threat of death and hurriedly threw out the instrument that copied the files, "Take this and spare me!"

The players sneered, "With this little skill, you dare to cause trouble? You’ve taken more than this, hand it all over!"

Zhao Zizhen hesitated, actually waiting for the Characteristics that trapped her feet to pass. The players from the Tian Family noticed her intention and immediately intended to kill, even using instruments before acting to interfere with the robots inside the building, putting them all into dormant mode.

Zhao Zizhen retreated every step of the way, but the building was already locked from the outside by them. She could only escape downward. During her dodging maneuver, she slipped a "declaration" with words painted over that had floated down from the wall into the files she got earlier, and then abruptly threw it towards the pursuing players, "Give it back to you!"

The advantages of advanced technology are not absolute; there are things inconvenient to process on terminals, including the data on these documents. So once scattered, the players no longer pursued Zhao Zizhen and immediately gathered the papers, of course reclaiming the declaration back.

"Trying to escape!" Seeing Zhao Zizhen break through the outside barrier, two players split off to pursue outside the building, one of them released a palm-long thin needle, followed by sudden lightning fiercely striking towards Zhao Zizhen’s head!

The powerful lightning, although breaking through the Defensive Barrier, was blocked from finishing the attack, but Zhao Zizhen fell straight towards the lower floor due to another player’s attack. Just when she found it hard to free herself, a gateway suddenly opened mid-air, and with her disappearance, the two players chasing also quickly retreated under the suddenly emerging Spatial Blade.

This push and pull opened up the distance between both parties. When they thought of pursuing again, they realized she had already vanished, and the commotion here had already caught the attention of nearby Law Enforcement Teams and armed robots. The Tian Family besides retrieving the files and restoring the building robots’ work programs, had to coordinate with the Law Enforcement Team.

Meanwhile, Xu Huo and Zhao Zizhen had already crossed half the city.

"If you had come any later, I would truly be bait." Zhao Zizhen said while applying medicine to her wounds.

"The performance has to be realistic enough." Xu Huo showed no guilt, checking the video captured from two streets away, the footage wasn’t too clear but sufficiently showed some information on the flying documents, as well as some names crossed out at the end of the declaration.

"I’ve already placed tracking marks on those players," Zhao Zizhen had changed clothes and walked over, "We can’t rely solely on this record, we need other information as well." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Naturally." Xu Huo used a purchased account to upload the video to the Collection of Information Terminal, pretending he stumbled upon the fight by chance, then spent money to hire a professional team to concoct a series of speculative rumors.

For example, the dozens of homicide cases because of the "declaration" were not due to the murderers losing the declaration, but someone was forcing them to reveal its contents. As for why this was done, it’s because these people might have inadvertently seen or heard related content, so someone had to ensure they’re entirely unaware.

For instance, why the declaration-related murders happened one after another instead of players intervening; it’s because someone didn’t want to escalate the matter too much, lest it attract the attention of higher government levels, allowing the local government to classify the murderer as an ordinary person or Artifact Maker to avoid more extensive investigations.

Moreover, the declaration’s content actually involved illegal experiments from certain organizations, prompting them to chase shadows, even killing anyone who’d had contact...

Upon posting these seemingly reasonable and well-founded speculations, a large-scale spread of thoughts ensued, and the rumors Xu Huo released quickly evolved.

Someone used an instrument to decipher the text on the documents in the video, not only confirming the identity of the transport company and those players, but also discovering they were industries under the Tian Family. The coded words on the documents looked suspicious, along with some unmasked transportation items, including several laboratories. Adding the news from the station city indicating the Tian Family might be conducting "human experiments," several people imagined wildly, connecting the two incidents, thus giving rise to new rumors, including but not limited to "victims were actually chosen by the Tian Family for experimental subjects," "victims participated in the experiments mentioned in the declaration," "Tian Family’s laboratory never produced anything legitimate, but people nearby frequently disappeared"...

In short, after two or three hours of fermentation, the Tian Family had already turned into a player family that relied on killing and exploitation for extreme experiments, while the pursued "declaration" was actually their internal pledge of allegiance.

Anyway, with time to spare, the Outer Zone players doing the instance naturally went over to take a look, along with some player organizations already interested in the matter, victim family members, and regular citizens harboring justice intentions organized themselves to petition the Municipal Government for an investigation into the Tian Family’s laboratory.

Originally, a small frame-up couldn’t cause such a huge ripple, but it was unfortunate that the Tian Family’s reputation was tainted, some details were indeed caught by people, and a few "inexplicably" deranged researchers openly declared their conscience couldn’t take it anymore, unwilling to do unethical work for the Tian Family, vowing to testify to prevent the Tian Family from further harming their compatriots and families.

"This lively event is quite entertaining." Zhao Zizhen sat atop a rooftop eating bread, eyes still fixed on the distant transport company, "It’s like everyone pushing down a crumbling wall."

"But too many people showed up, how can we find the real murderer like this?"

Xu Huo was reviewing messages on the Collection of Information Terminal. His finger suddenly paused upon seeing a news report about the station city, enlarging a corner’s position. A three-dimensional figure gradually became clear under instrument processing, and as the somewhat familiar face slowly rotated to the front, he sneered and pressed his thumb onto this person’s face:

"A fugitive daring to come and go without disguising their appearance, audacious indeed."
