Chapter 2138: Chapter 2138: Forged Declaration
Perhaps thinking that the hospital funded by the Tian Family is relatively safe, and the injured are far from the center of the vortex where people usually pay less attention, there are only two people guarding the seriously injured player, and these two plan to question him once he recovers a bit.
"The evolution rate is not considered high." Zhao Zizhen looked at the two players in front of the room at the end of the corridor, "It won’t be hard to take them down."
"Don’t cause a commotion." Xu Huo said, "Now this city is full of ard robots, and the municipal governnt has mobilized many players, causing trouble here would make it difficult for us to escape."
Zhao Zizhen also understood the situation in the station city, and without hesitation, stood on the side of the outer zone players, "It feels like facing a major threat when even discussion on the Collection of Information Terminal is not allowed. It seems both Zone 008 and the Tian Family have engaged in quite a bit of shady business."
"Who knows." Xu Huo had inspected the corridor and nearby wards in advance, ensuring there were no spiritual interference props or instrunts, then relaxed the spiritual world.
He and Zhao Zizhen entered the ward, first introducing themselves as mbers of the Tian Family’s inspection team. Their purpose was to verify whether he had unknowingly leaked confidential information of the Tian Family, as well as to supplent details on the players who attacked him.
The player, who had been rescued with great difficulty, still couldn’t speak, so the entire process relied on text input.
"Wang Cang, we can begin now." Xu Huo and Zhao Zizhen each held a recorder, first asking supplentary questions about the assailant, then moving on to matters concerning the Tian Family.
Because Zhao Zizhen had added sothing extra to the potion that the doctor injected into Wang Cang beforehand, under gradual inducent, he did not display significant emotional fluctuations. After about ten minutes, seeing his face showing fatigue, Xu Huo proactively suggested, "You can rest for three minutes."
After saying so, he nodded to Zhao Zizhen and took the initiative to leave the room.
"That’s it?" Standing outside, Zhao Zizhen couldn’t help but ask, "There wasn’t any important information in there."
"What’s the rush." After waiting outside for about a minute, Xu Huo then re-entered the room and continued to question the person whose eyelids were already closed.
This ti, the questions were less formal than before, but bearing in mind that he was rely a thug for the Tian Family, Xu Huo avoided asking about confidential matters like the Tian Family’s combat power layout, instead asking about any ongoing experintal projects the Tian Family might have, and whether he had heard about the murder cases happening in the Chongming Bird Administrative Region and nearby cities.
Wang Cang lacked detailed knowledge of the Tian Family’s experintal projects, only describing them vaguely. Surprisingly, he knew sothing about the murder cases: firstly, the murders hadn’t actually stopped, but rather, since the beginning of the month, they had been kept from the public due to an agreent between the municipal governnt and the player organization, essentially treating them coldly. Because the murders involved increasing numbers of outer zone players, Zone 008 had encountered plenty of trouble, and rather than expending effort and ti solving the cases and sending those outer zone players away, it seed preferable to have them stay in Zone 008 obediently. As for whether the subsequent murder cases would actually be solved or discontinued, Zone 008 was unconcerned.
Secondly, the murder victims were not only ordinary people but also players, two of whom had worked in Chongming Bird Administrative Region for the Tian Family. Many Tian Family players knew about this, but it was kept hidden from the local governnt. As for why the Tian Family knew, it was because the way these two players died mirrored the thod of the murder victims, leading the Tian Family to conclude that the murderer was not an individual but an organization. Moreover, those with the capability were responsible for killing players, while those without killed ordinary people.
However, Wang Cang did not know precisely which places those two individuals had visited.
Xu Huo supplented with a few more questions before he and Zhao Zizhen left.
"I found it curious; the two instance tasks this ti were unexpectedly tricky; turns out there isn’t just one murderer." Zhao Zizhen said, "Should we now return to Chongming Bird to investigate the itinerary of those two players?"
Upon leaving the hospital, Xu Huo said, "No."
"Regarding those two players’ itinerary, the Tian Family might have already investigated internally; we might find soone suitable and get information effortlessly." Zhao Zizhen puzzled.
"Wang Cang’s words can’t be fully trusted." Xu Huo said, "Have you ever paid attention to Zone 008’s dical advancents?"
Zhao Zizhen paused, "You an Wang Cang wasn’t actually completely hypnotized?"
"Not necessarily." Xu Huo explained, "It’s just that Zone 008 can now use a combination of drugs and surgical thods to strengthen suggestion in individuals. When exposed to external ntal interference, they might instinctively seal off certain key information, much like a hypnotist who gives a prolonged suggestion to a person, where a specific word or scene triggers their inner defense chanism. With technological aid, achieving such effects should be easier. Breaking through this defense chanism might require ongoing ti and attempts, which we don’t have."
Zhao Zizhen nodded but added, "He might not have undergone such surgery."
"Indeed, but we don’t have to waste ti on this. Even if it’s true, focusing on the intersection of the two players and victims would still involve a significant workload." Xu Huo smiled at her, "Besides, our purpose this trip is to sift through those who might have appeared in a certain public venue six months ago?"
Upon hearing that, Zhao Zizhen also smiled, "That’s a feasible backup plan."
Next, the two didn’t say much and quickly returned to Chongming Bird Administrative Region, where they located a transportation company linked to the Tian Family.
After observing for a while and confirming there were no ambushes, Xu Huo handed a forged "declaration" to Zhao Zizhen, "I’ll provide cover throughout."
