Chapter 2284: Chapter 2284: Trading Files for Life
The female player’s face visibly changed, and she quickly said, "I can only enter and exit Bu Liu City, but without the Space-Ti Power, they’ll all die if they touch the Water Rubik’s Cube in the city center!"
"Is that so?" Xu Huo looked down at her, "You don’t have a single honest word; try it out."
"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" the female player shouted loudly.
After that, she was more cooperative, tirelessly answering Xu Huo’s questions, including so supplentary details beyond the previous ones.
From this content, it can be deduced that the female player is not able to freely enter Bu Liu City as she claims; she only risks coming once in a while, but each stay isn’t too long, usually leaving within days, paying attention not to violate one-third of the ga’s rules, and especially avoiding the city center because the Water Rubik’s Cubes usually erge from there — she has witnessed this many tis.
Moreover, judging from her words, although she can still leave Bu Liu City, not every player who tries their luck can leave successfully.
"Is your characteristic related to luck?" Xu Huo asked.
The female player montarily displayed an unnatural expression, then resignedly said, "It’s my characteristic."
Characteristics can’t be taken away.
Xu Huo smiled, using the sa trick, "I don’t know if your characteristic is enough to avoid the Water Rubik’s Cube in the city center..."
The female player changed color dramatically, "Do you have any sense of sha?"
"Even looking at you holding a special item, even I can’t avoid it, so I’d imagine your characteristic isn’t that great." Xu Huo continued, "Expecting you to explore the city center is probably not hopeful."
"You’re from this area; you should know so of Bu Liu City’s past. Didn’t people from other cities co to intervene? They must have tried sowhat."
The female player sneered, "How could they not? Whether it was to take over Bu Liu City or to use the ga’s Space-Ti Power for Super Evolution, year after year, they ca. Regrettably, most of those who arrived full of ambition died here, without even knowing what happened before they died."
"So people must have self-awareness."
"Do you think you’re a self-aware person?" Zhu Xiaojin suddenly scoffed.
The female player shut her mouth, carefully hiding her hatred and glanced at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo didn’t plan to kill her for now; instead, he and Old Cai, Zhu Xiaojin, and others took props back to their location.
With these delays, almost a whole day passed, and when checking the communicator upon returning, besides the application for wanted criminals, there was a ssage from "Ding Dong Bleeding."
The previous conversation ended unhappily; Xu Huo knew they were aware of more than they admitted. But he wasn’t sure how many players were on the Municipal Governnt’s side, so killing those few would be pointless and could even block the wanted criminal application channel. He thought the other side, even if unwilling to give up, would at least delay before contacting him again. Yet surprisingly, they returned so quickly.
The Municipal Governnt players showed their sincerity. They could provide a sufficient number of wanted criminals and were willing to use so companions as collateral, as long as Xu Huo could bring them into the city center.
Xu Huo could stay out of destroying the Water Rubik’s Cube ga carrier, which was an internal matter of Bu Liu City. The remaining Municipal Governnt players swore to complete everything in one final push — even if they failed, they wouldn’t complain, having tried their best. If everyone dies, what becos of Bu Liu City would be irrelevant to them.
"Playing the emotional card." Xu Huo half-believed it, but didn’t imdiately respond to the ssage. Since the city center might not only have mixed Space-Ti Power, but also a direct portal to the one-third ga, actively entering would be the sa as entering the ga voluntarily.
Setting down the communicator, he turned back to talk to the female player.
The female player’s life was held in his hands, she responded to every word.
Speaking of the District Governnt’s attitude towards Bu Liu City, the female player candidly said, "If there’s a bottomless pit behind your house, would you insist on figuring out what’s inside? After a while, normal people will ignore it, even if on a whim they fiddle around for a bit, without results, they’ll have to give up."
"That’s not necessarily true." Xu Huo took a cup from the Girl in the painting, "Rooting out is human nature."
"We don’t have that many idle people around here." The female player said grumpily.
"Regarding the one-third ga, the District Governnt should have archived records." Xu Huo said.
"Records surely exist, but what the content is remains unknown." The female player said, "As far as I know, no one has ever left with mories related to the ga."
"This district isn’t weak; haven’t they found a way to restore mories?" Xu Huo was quite surprised, "I assud that as long as the brain isn’t removed, related mories would stay in so corner of the mind."
Unless the individual’s ti truly rewound.
Of course, the one-third ga may involve looping ti, but its effects are akin to ti reversal; losing short-term mories might be unnoticed, but if decades of mories vanished, that person would cease to exist, suggesting other thods wiped the player’s mory.
Furthermore, "looping ti" is a still unclear concept; though Dr. Wu spoke confidently, his continuity suggests he hasn’t successfully captured such Superdinsional Power. Who can really say what it looks like?
"That, I wouldn’t know." The female player showed little interest.
"You could find out." Xu Huo smiled at her, "You have enough relatives and friends here, I suppose."
"What do you an?" The female player frowned, "You’re not asking
to find soone to steal the archives from the District Governnt, are you?"
"The thod is up to you, as long as you obtain substantive archives." Xu Huo said, "Consider it a trade, exchange those archives for your life."
The female player narrowed her eyes, contemplating feasibility, "What type of archives count as substantive? If the Municipal Governnt archives lack records, wouldn’t I be wasting my ti?"
"That’s not my concern; you can gamble on your luck." Xu Huo set down the cup, telling the Girl in the painting beside him, "Keep an eye on her, don’t let her leave the room."
The Girl in the painting gave a thumbs-up, confidently assuming responsibility.
Seeing him about to leave, the female player quickly said, "Deal! But it’ll take ti! Municipal Governnt’s confidential archives aren’t easy to get!"
"Give it to
tomorrow." Xu Huo checked the ti, "By ten tomorrow morning, twelve hours should be enough."
"Hey, be reasonable! How are twelve hours enough, it’s the District Governnt, not your backyard..."
The response was the sound of the door closing.
