Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2148: Striking a Deal Instantly

"Borrow if you need to, you can still get it." Xu Huo ignored Nie Xuan’s "crying poor" and turned to ask him about the specific number of people he could involve this time.

Return Tickets for Zone 008 are hard to buy, and now applying to the Special Defense Department for personnel is definitely too late.

"Including me, five people." Nie Xuan said, "Among them, two are auxiliaries and cannot participate in combat."

Xu Huo nodded, meaning only three people could face Dou Shengnan directly, while the other two could only assist using props.

"What was your original plan?" Nie Xuan asked, he didn’t believe Xu Huo decided to test Dou Shengnan without any thoughts at all.

"Use Time Force to kill her." Xu Huo calmly looked in the direction of the city, "This is the ultimate goal, but the process of executing it is difficult to grasp."

Drawing Dou Shengnan into a non-game area while involving as few local players from Zone 008 as possible is challenging, and someone is needed to watch over the Time Tower. The Time Tower has a wide coverage area, but the controllable area is small, so he needs to get close to the battlefield without being discovered by Dou Shengnan and other players from Zone 008.

The Girl in the painting has yet to be heard from, she would be the most suitable choice.

"Once the fight starts, unexpected events will certainly occur. If we join forces, I have three conditions that must be met."

Xu Huo said, "Facing Dou Shengnan directly, I must be the main distraction. The spiritual confrontation cannot exceed ten minutes."

"Second, the battle location must be suitable, and the train station city is obviously not suitable. The place I have chosen is the Chongming Bird Administrative Region. Before that, we need to confirm that the non-game area simulation instrument can be opened."

"Third, if we can’t kill Dou Shengnan under the conditions of restricting personal panels, during the three-minute window when the barrier is lifted, we must confine her to the spot."

These are the basic conditions, and even if they are met, it doesn’t necessarily mean Dou Shengnan can be killed. The real purpose of using the non-game area simulation instrument is not to heavily wound her, but to catch her off guard with the Time Tower when the barrier is lifted. Three minutes is already a long time; in Xu Huo’s original plan, this timeframe was only ten seconds because he is still under instance limitations, failing to strike would mean he has to leave.

Nie Xuan roughly discerned that he has certain limitations with his props, so he said, "I’ll verify and confirm the Chongming Bird Administrative Region in advance, but the three-minute restriction after the barrier is lifted is too long. Dou Shengnan definitely has super props in hand, and the specific information is unknown, so I can only manage to delay for one minute at most. Just one minute, after that, I’ll immediately withdraw."

Xu Huo frowned slightly but said, "One minute works too." At least it gives him some time to escape.

Nie Xuan handed him a storage device, "All the available data on Dou Shengnan is in here, this is the most detailed version we could find."

"In her past group battles with the Guile Sound Knights, she mostly assisted, and the prop she most frequently used was a pocket watch she carried around. The specific effects of the pocket watch are unclear, but I speculate it might be of a type that enhances Psychic Power."

"Dou Shengnan doesn’t have many fixed-wearing props, significant attention should be paid to her bracelet and earrings. Additionally, the chain she uses to hang the pocket watch should be an advanced instrument."

"The possibility that some devices obtained through instance reward channels will be invalid after restricting personal panels is small, but if she doesn’t carry them and places them in the prop slot, she won’t be able to retrieve them for use in a non-game area."

"That probability is very small." Xu Huo said as he reviewed the data, "Dou Shengnan’s purpose for coming to Zone 008 is nothing more than props and instruments. Zone 008 is rich in instruments, and the non-game area simulation instrument shouldn’t be absolutely confidential. To guard against Zone 008 players, she would also prepare a sufficient number of advanced instruments in advance."

Nie Xuan nodded, "Precisely because they are instruments, they are even better. General instruments can be made ineffective with interference devices. While space-time instruments don’t have the same absolute suppressive power as similar props, they can still weaken effects when interacting with each other."

"It’s also possible that she has instruments superior to ordinary Rank A Props. In that case, the effect that ordinary instruments can achieve is minuscule."

"What instruments are you bringing?" Xu Huo turned to ask.

"Six teleportation type, three space interference type, six space lockdown type, six space defense type, twelve space attack type." Nie Xuan said, "These are all consumable instruments with Rank A effects, and there are some supplements as well."

Xu Huo also had a few good instruments, but the spiritual interference instrument "Please Do Not Think" is indiscriminate in its attack, so it can’t be used. The remaining ones are the space interference bracelet, the Cubic Space to assimilate Spatial Power, and the defensive "Glass House". Only the space interference bracelet and the Cubic Space are practical.

"I’ll take half of the teleportation ones, a third of the others." He said directly.

Nie Xuan chuckled, "You really aren’t shy."

Xu Huo also laughed, "Should we file an application with the Special Defense Department?"

In agreement, Nie Xuan said, "We can apply for another batch of instruments."

The Special Defense Department’s support for him is limited to tracking Dou Shengnan. If he proposes hunting Dou Shengnan, the Special Defense Department would definitely not agree, nor would they provide more support. It’d be different with Xu Huo; the Special Defense Department could carry out a supplementary operation centered around him to ensure a clean conclusion while probing Dou Shengnan head-on.

Of course, if Dou Shengnan could actually be killed, it would definitely be a good thing for them.

Zone 014 hasn’t fully integrated into the game yet, and the enmity from the Super Props incident has to be settled eventually, but these two matters can’t coincide.

After the two reached an agreement, Nie Xuan called over the other four players, "They’re all using fake faces, and during actual operations, each of us will wear Protective Suits. The four code names are White Eagle, Night Owl, Red Fox, and Brown Bear. My code name is Golden Sparrow. The shoulders of the Protective Suits have encrypted information representing each codename, with basic encryption."

To guard against information leaks, Xu Huo also devised a new codename—"Dragonfly."

Preparation requires time, the effective time of the "Time Tower" has passed, and the earliest it can be used is the next night at nine o’clock.

After making their decisions, Xu Huo and Nie Xuan’s group split up for action.

Xu Huo returned to the train station city to wait for the Girl in the painting while keeping an eye on Dou Shengnan’s movements. After learning from a member of the Tian Family that she wouldn’t be leaving the hotel for the next few days, he took some time to stroll around the luxurious district where the Tian Family resides.

It was as tranquil as it had been yesterday, but a number of players and protesting civilians gathered outside. These people had some grudges with the Tian Family, their eyes held undisguised hatred.

At this time, the Defensive Barrier outside the luxurious district was kept open to prevent conflicts, and no players or armed robots were dispatched. Even the original security staff had been withdrawn.

"Associating with a notorious fugitive, what good can come from the Tian Family?" Someone in the protesting crowd incited emotions, "It’s a pity that so many players we created end up working for people like them!"
