Capítulo 2271: Chapter 2271: Mutual Threats
Xu Huo wasn’t sure what downtown looked like, but from the descriptions of other players, almost no one who dared to step in ever appeared again. If the vessel of the one-third ga was in the city center, these people were likely already dead.
Who would dare to enter such a place, especially with that elusive Water Rubik’s Cube? Even if one entered downtown and wasn’t killed imdiately, the best outco would likely be getting sucked into the ga. The one-third ga even had a second stage; who knew if entering from downtown wasn’t a death trap?
“Since you have knowledge of the one-third ga and have help in the city center, why don’t you go in yourselves?” Xu Huo asked.
“The Space-Ti Power in the city center is unstable,” the tattooed woman explained simply.
The aning was clear: neither the mad scientist who created the one-third ga nor the players from the original Municipal Governnt were Super Evolvers with Space-Ti abilities. So, even if they knew what was happening in the city center, they couldn’t avoid the invisible Space-Ti Power, and soone had to lead the way.
“Just the truth about the one-third ga isn’t enough of a bargaining chip,” Xu Huo said bluntly. “This truth isn’t necessary for clearing the ga; it doesn’t matter whether I know it or not.”
The tattooed woman was prepared. She smiled and said, “It mustn’t be easy for you to clear the ga.”
“The number of fugitives a player needs to clear is proportional to the player’s strength. To be honest, I’ve been here so long and haven’t encountered a few real Super Evolvers. If you can gain sothing in the one-third ga, clearing it shouldn’t be easy.”
“For soone who’s been through the ga once, there’s a chance to enter a second ti. The longer you take to clear, the more likely you are to re-enter the ga. The ga is so dangerous, why take the risk?”
“You an you can help
accumulate the number of fugitives?” Xu Huo tapped the bar with his forefinger. “How can you ensure fairness in this transaction?”
“The Municipal Governnt can withhold all fugitives submitted by Temporary Enforcent Officers,” said the tattooed woman. “As long as they’re not approved, the fugitives can’t be counted in a player’s clearance accumulation, and all these people can be transferred to you through the Municipal Governnt.”
“Transfer?” Xu Huo seed unsure of her aning.
“We can raise your position a bit,” the tattooed woman said lightly. “As long as the position is right, you’ll have to sign and stamp the execution orders for these fugitives.”
In other words, if he reviewed and approved the executions, these fugitives, no matter who killed them, were essentially handled by the Municipal Governnt and would naturally be credited to him as the sole Governor.
“I need a lot of fugitives, but not so many that it can’t be completed,” Xu Huo said. “It just takes a bit of ti.”
However, the tattooed woman wasn’t that easygoing anymore. “No matter how many people you have, they all need to be reviewed by the Municipal Governnt.”
“Is that a threat?” Xu Huo smiled faintly. “If you really understand the one-third ga, you should know that finding fugitives in Bu Liu City isn’t the only way to clear the ga.”
“But it’s the safer thod,” the tattooed woman also smiled. “Who can guarantee that you’ll co out safely the next ti you enter the ga?”
Whether the convenience provided by downtown to players was a trap was one thing, but since the tattooed woman had co specifically to make this offer, if Xu Huo outright refused or flipped the table, the Municipal Governnt likely wouldn’t offer him any more conveniences through its review channels. Completing the instance through this channel would be almost impossible.
“It seems I have no choice but to cooperate.” Xu Huo’s smile gradually faded. He continued, “It looks like you’ve been surviving in Bu Liu City for a long ti. Since the one-third ga has been here for so long, don’t you want to leave?”

“Probably can’t leave, so they want to find soone to destroy the ga vessel.”
“If you can’t leave, you should give yourself an escape route.”
“It doesn’t matter if clearing the ga takes ti. I can even overstay. This city isn’t too big or too small. Can you hide forever?”
Xu Huo’s threat seed to lack deterrent power. Bu Liu City was simply too large; even if both parties unlocked areas covering the entire city, finding a few players in such a vast area was extrely difficult, and he was still only one person.
The tattooed woman seed to hear a joke and actually laughed aloud, “It’s much easier for the Municipal Governnt to choke a player’s neck.”
“Is that so?” Xu Huo stared at her, “It’s also very easy for
to choke yours right now.”
The tattooed woman’s expression changed as she laughed. She instinctively tried to put down the cup in her hand, only to find her palm passing through the glass and even the bar, and then she fell under the stool, unable to distinguish whether the surrounding space had turned into nothingness or if she herself had beco void!
The man sitting beside her leaned slightly against the bar, ignoring the woman’s panic. As he picked up his water glass, his eyes lowered slightly, coldly glaring at the person still sitting on the ground. His expression was as cold as if he were a completely different person from when he was negotiating earlier.
“You’re not here for a deal! You’re here to kill!” the tattooed woman blurted out. Regret showed on her face after she spoke. She rose and backed away, but the sensation of touching nothing made her afraid to leave the ground easily. She could only step back bit by bit, trying to escape.
The Girl in the painting was already blocking the doorway. She raised her communicator, “Confession will lead to leniency!”
The tattooed woman sneered and imdiately flung out a prop. Again and again, it failed to work, leading her to start doubting herself. Her eyes darted back and forth between the prop, the Girl in the painting, and Xu Huo, until she finally couldn’t hold back and shouted, “What did you do?”
Xu Huo put down the water glass and without looking back at her, said to the Bartender, “If you dare take out your prop, she definitely won’t make it out alive today.”
Pretending not to pay attention, the Bartender paused, slowly turned around, and spoke kindly, “Leave a margin in affairs, so we can et again in the future. Friend, it’s our first eting; do you have to be so absolute?”
“Just a reciprocal exchange, nothing more,” Xu Huo said, pointing with his thumb at the closed private room beside him. “Arranging so many people for a few idle words shows your strength isn’t much.”
“Not only is your strength lacking, but the one in the city center probably doesn’t fully listen to you either. Otherwise, Bu Liu City wouldn’t be like this now.”
“Such a pity.”
This tone full of disdain made the faces of the tattooed woman and Bartender darken.
“Did it hit a nerve?” Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, “There’s sothing even more hurtful. You’re probably going to have to provide information about the one-third ga for free.”
“Based on what!” the tattooed woman imdiately yelled, then shouted towards the private room, “You all leave quickly, don’t worry about . As long as the green hills last, there will always be opportunities later!”
There was no movent from the private room. Xu Huo signaled Zhu Xiaojin to go open the door.
