Actually, it’s quite rare for [Players] to et in reality. [Players] tend to avoid contact with each other as much as possible.
After all, getting their personal information exposed would be too dangerous.
Li Changhe, He Feng, and Mr. Bai accidentally encountered one another. Typically, the appropriate response would be to kill each other and eliminate the possibility of information leaks.
So more cautious people even try to silence others during [Plot Tasks] because sotis their faces are exposed in the plot.
It is said in the [forum] that the last minute before leaving the Instance is extrely dangerous, fearing these kinds of people. Quite a few [Players] have been killed by their teammates even after completing dangerous task objectives.
Li Changhe shuddered at the thought. Fortunately, his teammates in the [Chang’an Plague] didn’t have such ideas, and Moon God even healed his injuries.
It seems that he needs to preserve strength for future [Plot Tasks]. It would be terrible to encounter dangerous [Players].
Li Changhe and He Feng initially didn’t intend to reveal their identities, but they knew they couldn’t hide once they detected the [Instant Space Array]. They entered the scene forcefully, crushing Mr. Bai’s car in the process.
Mr. Bai initially didn’t think he would encounter other [Players] and just intended to erase mories. No one would recognize his face, and he planned to erase the mories of the n in suits from [Sun Halo] as well.
However, the appearance of the fantasy species elf created a temporary alliance among the three.
After all, they would be teammates in future tasks. Mr. Bai cooperated nicely. Compared to Li Changhe and He Feng, he didn’t reveal much information and appeared rather passive.
So he willingly shared his information as a form of self-protection.
Li Changhe didn’t refuse. Although he wasn’t a bad person, he also wasn’t a good one. To prevent possible information leaks, he had to have so leverage over anyone who posed a threat. Otherwise... it would be best to silence them.
There was no room for soft-heartedness in this situation.
The elf girl’s mood seed to improve a little, probably because she sensed no malice from the three. She ntioned in a small voice that she was hungry.
The [Players] didn’t dare to neglect her. They were afraid of inadvertently triggering [Task Information], creating an embarrassing situation.
Following the director’s introduction before wiping their mories, the girl had been brought to the orphanage a month ago by an old friend.
This was an old friend the director had known for over twenty years. It was said that this friend had helped set up the orphanage, so the director naturally wouldn’t mistreat her.
As for the girl’s appearance being distinct from humans, the old friend explained that soone would co to pick her up after so ti. anwhile, the director would see Yun Ting. If the girl were injured, it would cause great disaster.
Li Changhe sighed in amazent, "How could he predict this? A month ago? I wasn’t even a player a month ago. I hadn’t encountered Yun Ting yet. How could he foresee this?"
"Transcendent?" Mr. Bai analyzed for a while, "A modern transcendent? I’ve heard there are so fortune-tellers among transcendent beings."
"It’s so accurate. It’s either a transcendent being or..." He Feng didn’t elaborate.
Li Changhe understood. Did taking Yun Ting away get guessed—or arranged?
If that were the case, it would be terrifying. Li Changhe was more inclined to believe the first explanation given his experience with Yuan Tiangang’s calculations. It didn’t seem like a big deal if soone could foresee it.
After a while, Mr. Bai changed into more fitting clothes and took the little girl out for a al. Li Changhe and He Feng observed from afar—or, rather, kept an eye on them.
Their alliance with Mr. Bai wasn’t particularly solid, so they couldn’t be careless. Li Changhe’s Great Tang crossbow was always aid at Mr. Bai’s heart.
Once Mr. Bai walked away, Li Changhe and He Feng finally had an opportunity to talk.
"You’re actually a [Player]?" He Feng chuckled, "Well, I feel more at ease now that you also have this ability. Did you get it during the Yanyun Bridge incident?" He recalled that a non-human [Player] had been killed at the Yanyun Bridge.
Li Changhe nodded, "I almost died at the hands of that thing, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I beca a [Player] too."
"That’s good. We don’t need to worry about any [Player Organizations] trying to ss with us, or threaten each other with our friends and family anymore," He Feng laughed, "There are a few other unidentified [Players] among Yanyun students. Be careful."
The most dangerous aspect of having a [Player]’s identity exposed is the safety of their family and friends. Many solo [Players] are threatened this way, serving [Player Organizations], handing over ga coins and equipnt, and even getting killed for their [Player] identities.
That’s why many solo [Players] seek refuge with [Great Wall] once their identity information is discovered.
Now that both Li Changhe and He Feng are [Players], they don’t need to worry about that anymore.
"Are there too many [Players] at Yanyun?" Li Changhe wondered, "There are less than three million human [Players] worldwide. How can there be so many in Yanyun?"
"I’ve heard that [Player Organizations] like [Sun Halo] are trying to get closer to Yanyun. They say sothing will happen at Yanyun, but I don’t know the details. It shouldn’t be anything bad anyway."
They shared so information. There was nothing to hide, as they were too familiar with each other. If one was a [Player] and the other was not, they most likely would never share this with the other, as it could harm them.
Since both of them were [Players], they would beco the most reliable allies. At least they wouldn’t have to fight alone in the future. This was the only good news of the day.
...
A few hours later.
The elf girl was no longer so guarded against the three. She sat quietly in the rear seat, looking out the window, enjoying the scenery.
Eating the snacks bought by the [Players], her face showed a happy expression.
Li Changhe and He Feng understood that Director Dad was particular about health. Before leaving the orphanage, they had never seen snacks before.
Although the elf girl was from a fantasy species, she seed quite happy eating human food. There was no barrier in communication.
She only knew she was sent to the orphanage by soone else. As for where she ca from, Li Changhe and the others didn’t dare ask, fearing it would trigger a [Task].
Any words or actions could potentially trigger a [Task]. Li Changhe’s first [Task] was triggered when Ye Ming invited Xiao Nan, ntioning the old campus’s haunted house.
If, this ti, the girl were to say sothing like Darnassus, they might start another [Task].
At present, the [Task Clues] haven’t changed. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. It seed that as long as they took care of her quietly, they shouldn’t trigger a [Task].
"What should we do? Just drag it out like this?" Mr. Bai said, "Once we accidentally trigger the [Task], then it’s just us three dealing with it. We may even have to face off against fantasy species. The three of us definitely won’t be enough!"
"The problem is, we don’t know what kind of task this is. I searched the forum for information, but I couldn’t find any relevant answers," He Feng shook his head, "But Mr. Bai is right, we can’t keep dragging it out. Either we imdiately refuse once the [Task] is triggered, or we get more [Players] involved."
"There’s another way... which might upset so people," Li Changhe muttered, "Mr. Bai, do you know the location of [Sun Halo]’s branch in Yanyun?"
"I can roughly deduce the location... Wait, what are you planning?"
