Kaidan Game Train: A Chapter 2248: 2248: Newly Appointed Law Enforcement Officers

Capítulo 2248: Chapter 2248: Newly Appointed Law Enforcent Officers

In short, most of the Players Xu Huo and the others t who were willing to cooperate but had already decided to settle down in Bu Liu City were just muddling along. They had no intention of clearing the instance, nor did they want to figure out what exactly the One Third Ga was. They were simply trying their best not to trigger the ga.

“Hardly anyone knows about the Water Rubik’s Cube? Aren’t they scared?” Tang Yu was puzzled. By all rights, people like them had already heard about this kind of news; there was no reason for those who had been in this district longer not to know.

“Maybe the ones who knew forgot after entering the ga.” Zhu Xiaojin said. “Or else they know how to avoid the Water Rubik’s Cube.”

“What’s most critical is that we still haven’t heard anyone say whether any Player has actually cleared this place.” Qiao Jieping frowned tightly. “That’s really too abnormal.”

Whether in Bu Liu City or Beneath the Dinsion, most of the information about this instance was fake. Even the high??priced walkthroughs for clearing it were a mix of truth and lies. This was rarely seen in other instances; it was as if all the Players who entered this instance were hell??bent on tricking people outside into coming in.

“An instance where people go in and never co out—this is my first ti seeing one.” Chen Zhongzhi had already added the new line “killing a non??wanted person can trigger the ga” and written it down. He looked at Xu Huo. “Is that good enough?”

Xu Huo nodded and had the Girl in the painting help paste it onto the billboard.

He went back over the information they had so far.

First is the instance One Third City. The original unlocked area of Bu Liu City targeted the locals, not the Players, but killing wanted criminals could expand the unlocked area for Players who cleared. This might be due to the instance, or it might be due to the One Third Ga.

Second, killing enough wanted criminals didn’t necessarily lead to clearing the instance. Take Zhu Xiaojin and the others as an example: there had to be Players capable of completing a “kill dozens of Players in a month” task; it would be even easier if you counted ordinary people. Yet this thod hadn’t beco widespread, which ant sothing must be going wrong at so point—either killing the wrong people resulted in punishnt, or the aning of “wanted criminal” had changed and was no longer defined according to Bu Liu City’s original laws.

Third, if you failed to clear, you most likely couldn’t leave the instance. This was sothing that had never happened in previous tid instances.

“What if there’s another possibility.” The Girl in the painting lifted the Communicator. “All the forr wanted criminals might have already been wiped out, and the people who ca in later were never wanted. So killing them is just killing for nothing, and of course no one manages to clear.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhongzhi first chuckled, then was about to refute her, but swallowed the words back down.

Everyone looked at one another and realized this was also a possibility.

Bu Liu City’s laws were harsh, but that was aid at a citywide release of criminals; previous cris were written off, and subsequent criminal acts were sentenced anew. However, the concept of “wanted criminal” was built on the premise of the Municipal Governnt functioning normally. If the Municipal Governnt’s wanted list hadn’t been updated in a long ti, then all later criminal acts might not have been listed as wanted, including Players’ killings.

“Could the difficulty of this instance be in re??establishing the Municipal Governnt?” Qiao Jieping said.

“That doesn’t add up,” Tang Yu said. “If that’s the case, then our speculation that killing the wrong person might be the trigger for the One Third Ga doesn’t make sense, and the expansion of the unlocked area is also based on us actually killing wanted criminals. If wanted criminals are scarce in this city, how could our unlocked area keep expanding?”

“What if our unlocked area is actually the unlocked area of the One Third Ga?” Zhu Xiaojin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “For all we know, the unlocked area we had when we first ca in had nothing to do with the instance at all. It belonged to the One Third Ga itself. Our real task to clear isn’t to complete the ‘kill wanted criminals’ mission, but to complete this ga. Only by winning the ga can we leave the instance!”

“You an we’ve been playing the One Third Ga from the mont we ca in, just still waiting for the ti to co?” Chen Zhongzhi couldn’t help saying, “So to clear we actually have to enter the ga once?”

“Let

cut in,” Shen Fu said. “I think you’re overthinking it. If that ga were that easy to win, there wouldn’t be so many people with mory loss. How about we just wait until the clearance ti for

and Shi ng is up before we talk.”

Even though they’d been saying they should wait and see, after eting so many Players, it looked like even when their ti was up, eight or nine out of ten still wouldn’t be able to get out.

“How big are your unlocked areas now?” Tang Yu asked the others. “Could it be that this unlocked area is tied to mission progress, and once we complete one third, or once the unlocked area reaches one third of Bu Liu City, the ga will automatically trigger?”

“The unlocked area is unlikely,” Xu Huo said. “Bu Liu City’s area is comparable to a small country. Unless the unlocked area is directly bound to mission progress, otherwise you’d have to kill a lot of people just to unlock at least fifteen districts.”

The number of Players who had died at Xu Huo’s hands was already close to thirty. He had been paying particular attention to his unlocked area. At present, he had unlocked the equivalent of nearly two districts, and that was only because he deliberately pushed along the border that he noticed it. These two districts were already dozens of tis the size of his Spiritual World, and during that ti other Players had also increased the unlocked areas. In other words, if the next ti he killed soone he didn’t do it along the boundary of the unlocked area, he would most likely never again figure out where exactly his activity border lay.

Still, he could estimate the rough increase in the unlocked area each ti; it was just that the direction of expansion was uncertain. Given that he had entered Bu Liu City from a corner, the general direction was toward the city interior. As long as he paid more attention while moving around, it would be fine.

Based on his own numbers, there was no clear ratio between wanted??criminal hunting progress and the size of the unlocked area.

“It’d be best not to enter the One Third Ga, but as things stand, we also need to be prepared to go in.” Xu Huo reminded everyone.

Zhu Xiaojin took out paper and pen. “We’d better get into the habit of keeping a diary. I don’t think recorders and the like are reliable.”

That was one way, at least to rember how long they’d been in here and what they had done.

Losing his mory and starting over wasn’t sothing Xu Huo was experiencing for the first ti. The last ti, in Pumpkin City, it had been related to curved ti. This ti, he hoped it had nothing to do with the Ti Force.

After a brief discussion, Xu Huo and the group went back to work. Once they had more or less finished registration in District 5, they applied to the Municipal Governnt to bring Districts 6 and 7 under their purview as well. This ti the approval went almost too smoothly: the Municipal Governnt not only assigned Districts 4, 5, 6, and 7 to him, but proactively handed over Districts 9 through 12 as well, appointing him as Temporary United Administrator of these eight districts, responsible for all affairs within them.

After that, Xu Huo saw the photos of the other three Temporary Enforcent Officers on the internal bulletin website.
