Chapter 1

“Speaking of,”

Chai Daixiao, hiding inside Li Ang's body, asked, “Why are you riding a bicycle here?”

At this moment, Li Ang, draped in a cape of justice, cosplaying a character from One Piece, was performing stunts on a bicycle in the park.

In this park, there were many students who came to skateboard, rollerblade, and bicycle, surrounded by a circle of parents.

Li Ang, draped in a white cape and obviously much older, was extremely conspicuous among the students.

Even more flamboyant, he was riding a shared bicycle, doing cool moves such as triple front flips, triple backflips, triple side flips, and dropping the bike to start inexplicably triple front flipping himself, finishing with a breakdance, which stunned a group of students and parents.

"Just bored."

Li Ang replied to Chai Daixiao in his heart, "Anyway, there's still some time before the mission starts. And according to my estimation, my other teammate is also rushing to the suburbs."

"Hmm," Chai Daixiao asked, "Then aren't you worried that he'll run to the other end of the city?"

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Li Ang performed a difficult breakdance flip with a straight face, silently saying in his heart, "In this kind of team deathmatch that maliciously induces players to kill each other, trusting teammates is not as good as trusting yourself.

"You must know that for ordinary players, concealing their tracks is the primary goal of this mission, and teammates are just a guarantee against encountering enemies."

"Then why are you being so flamboyant?"

Chai Daixiao looked at the edge of the field, at the crowd constantly cheering for Li Ang and recording short videos, and said with a headache, "Aren't you afraid of attracting players from other teams?"

"I don't just have one alias."

Li Ang said, "As long as I keep changing aliases, the enemy won't be able to catch me."

Amidst the admiring gazes of the surrounding kids, he silently got up from the ground, patted the dust off his justice cape, and walked calmly and leisurely with his bicycle towards the woods on the edge of the park.

Just as his figure was about to disappear, Li Ang suddenly bent down and dry heaved into the landscape bushes, half covering his mouth, making a very loud vomiting sound.

It even drowned out the sound equipment playing cheesy songs that some people had brought to the park, as if he were about to vomit up his liver and intestines.

After a long while, Li Ang finally straightened up and gave a thumbs up to the crowd looking over, "Sorry, I was dancing too hard just now."

After saying that, he ignored the crowd's reaction, wiped his hands on the tree trunk, and rode away on his bicycle.

Chai Daixiao clearly saw that Li Ang had sprayed something into the bushes from a small bottle of eyeglasses disinfection care solution.

And he used the opportunity of wiping his hands to install a thumb-sized micro-camera, which he had processed and manufactured himself from spare parts, into the bark of the tree.

"Uh, is that bee queen pheromone?" Chai Daixiao asked. On the way here, Li Ang had told her about all the equipment, skills, props, and trump cards they currently possessed, so that they could cooperate later.

"Yeah."

Li Ang nodded and said casually, "When the time comes, I'll just go out and cause trouble wearing this justice cape. Other players will find this place through monitoring equipment or short videos taken by these parents, based on my appearance.

"And when they approach the bushes where I pretended to vomit, they will come into contact with these bee queen pheromone components.

"Then I can use the scout bees to find their location."

Chai Daixiao asked, "What if they don't come, or if this setup is destroyed by ordinary people?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a waste of a little bee queen pheromone and the use of a scout bee."

Li Ang said leisurely, "There are enough scout bees, so I can try and fail."

In fact, hacking into the surrounding area's surveillance cameras with hacker software would be more efficient.

But in the modern information environment, using hacker software leaves too many traces, making it easy to be misled, tracked, and even have one's real identity found by following the trail.

It's better to use biological pheromones and simple, hard-to-track micro-cameras for monitoring.

Li Ang rode his bicycle out of the park. Seeing that the deadline for the mission was getting closer and closer, he didn't panic at all. He slowly put the extremely conspicuous cape and shared bicycle into his inventory in a dark place.

Then, he unhurriedly walked into the subway entrance and found a place to stand against the wall.

Chai Chai said in surprise, "You're taking the subway?"

"Yeah," Li Ang replied, "To be precise, I'm waiting for the rabbit.

"In this mission, we must not only consider how to conceal our tracks,

"But also consider the possibility that some teams will take advantage of their early advantage and plan to attack other teams from the very beginning.

"For example, they have equipment and props that are powerful enough to easily crush players of the same level. Or they met each other from the beginning, quickly formed a two-person team, and tried to use their numerical advantage to open up the situation in the early stages.

"The setting that automatically triggers the spherical spell within a thousand meters allows teams that meet each other early on to plow through the suburbs of Yin City like a compass at the beginning of the game."

Li Ang paused, looked up at the clock hanging inside the subway station, and said quietly, "After the mission starts, let's see if the enemy finds us first, or if we meet our other teammate first.

"If he's not stupid, he should be near the suburbs now..."

Li Ang's teammate was currently driving an inconspicuous black car, slowly driving along the road.

As one of the designated successors of the Liu family, Liu Wudai's car used many novel technologies that the Special Affairs Bureau had obtained from the script world. It was not only as sturdy as an armored vehicle, but could also activate a jet device when necessary, allowing it to accelerate briefly along the wall.

The Liu family, as one of the financial groups, had some thoughts after receiving the news of the Killing Game. The emergence of supernatural factors was a comprehensive reshuffle of social order.

As beneficiaries, the Liu family could not possibly allow the reshuffle process to happen before their eyes without participating in it themselves.

Unfortunately, the Special Affairs Bureau's attitude was quite tough. Before the Liu family could take any practical actions, they were visited by Special Affairs Bureau employees who had received the news.

In addition, the Liu family head Liu Wudai's grandfather's physical condition was not optimistic, and Liu Wudai's father, Liu Kejian, suffered from a strange disease and was bedridden, unable to tolerate wind and temperature changes.

The Liu family simply gave up their thoughts and fully surrendered to the Special Affairs Bureau.

The Fire Rat Pelt that Li Ang had traded to Liu Wudai only alleviated a little of her father Liu Kejian's pain.

In order to cure the disease and investigate the hidden secrets behind it, the Special Affairs Bureau admitted patients with the same symptoms as Liu Kejian to two or three different underground stronghold hospitals, and reported the research progress of the disease to the headquarters every day.

As a partner of the Special Affairs Bureau, the Liu family also had a certain level of security clearance. The Special Affairs Bureau would pass on some patient health reports to them, and sometimes allow Liu Wudai to accompany her mother to the isolated ward of the underground stronghold to meet Liu Kejian across several panes of glass.

Everything was getting better,

Until an hour ago, Liu Kejian, along with all the patients admitted to the underground stronghold, were swallowed up by a cloud of mist from the void, under the gaze of surveillance cameras, and disappeared completely without any warning.

At the same moment, Liu Wudai received a mission briefing from the system. It was impossible to say that these two things had no causal relationship.

If not, as the future heir of the Liu family, she could completely use the family's money and power to pave the way for herself to obtain sufficiently powerful equipment and props. She would not need to accept this kind of regular mission that could be rejected.

While thinking, the digital clock on the front panel of the car finally jumped to nine o'clock. Liu Wudai felt a sudden heaviness on her right hand. An ordinary-looking water-blue metal circular wristwatch was put on her wrist at some point.

The mission had begun.

Liu Wudai took a deep breath and looked at the 2D virtual map of Yin City on the wristwatch.

The red dot symbolizing her teammate was located in a subway station to her north.

Teammate, hold on.

Squeak

Liu Wudai suddenly braked and spun around, turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and sped north.
