Chapter 1 Yin City

In Yin City, on the rooftop of a tall building.

A slender man in plain clothes was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, his legs dangling over the side. He rested his chin on his hands, his back slightly hunched, and his whole body swayed gently in the noisy night wind, as if he might fall at any moment.

He was one of the Wan Jia Xiong Meng players participating in this mission, named Jijiu, lv12, one of the Tanhua organization's people in charge of Yin City.

Although called a person in charge, Jijiu rarely went back to handle related affairs. Four and a half months ago, he was just an ordinary young man who had just graduated from university and was plunged into despair by the death of his family. The related matters of Tanhua were basically managed by others.

"Mao Ziqiang, the person in charge of the Chengnan area who took the plane, was captured by the Special Affairs Bureau on the plane three minutes ago. Kong Fang, the Yin City liaison who received the news in advance and prepared to run away by speedboat, was intercepted by the authorities at sea two minutes ago. Four gathering places and seven underground strongholds within Yin City have been cleared by the Mobile Task Force."

The person speaking was not Jijiu, but a man's head placed next to him. "The Yin City stronghold is finished," it said. The talking head was named Zhijue, lv12, also a Wan Jia Xiong Meng player and a member of Tanhua.

"The fall of the stronghold was part of the plan, just sacrificing a pawn to save the chariot," Jijiu said indifferently. "With such a big accident, I would be surprised if the Mobile Task Force didn't take any action."

"Hehe." Zhijue cackled, "They won't be able to get anything out of them. Those people know nothing about the plan. By the time they find out the truth, the Bishop will probably have unlocked the seal of the Qiumoku..."

*Zheng*

A slender steel nail was deeply embedded in the concrete ground in front of Zhijue's lips, and the splashed gravel hit Zhijue's face.

"Shut up."

Jijiu remained in a posture that suggested he might fall from the height at any moment, his emotionless eyes quietly gazing at the glittering lights of the city. "The wind has ears, just do your job."

""

Zhijue licked his lips, not refuting or getting angry, but closing his eyes and holding his breath.

Suddenly, without any warning, a complete, giant black sphere suddenly appeared in the southwest of the distant city, nearly a thousand meters high and extremely conspicuous.

"Found a team." Zhijue suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth twisting into a strange arc. "You were right to guess that my divided body could also be counted as part of the players.

Hanging my fragmented body on a drone, suspended in the air, flying in different directions in the city, using the setting of the technique in the mission briefing to detect the location of other players.

Alas, it's a pity that we were too far away from the location of that locator when the mission started, and we definitely won't be able to make it in time.

If we had the locator, we wouldn't have to go to so much trouble..."

*Zheng*

Several steel nails were driven into the area around Zhijue's head, surrounding him and interrupting his chatter.

With a indifferent expression, Jijiu slowly stood up. Amidst Zhijue's protests, he grabbed his hair, picked up his head, and ran frantically towards the direction of the black sphere, dashing across the rooftop of the high-rise building.

On the other side of the city, Ash drove his companions towards the location of the locator.

"Found it."

Chu Yin, sitting in the back seat of the car, stared intently at the computer screen.

Using Tianwang, she quickly locked onto the surveillance cameras around the area where the locator was located and shouted to Ash in front, "The locator is in the corridor on the fifth floor of the inpatient building of the Rehabilitation Hospital!"

On Chu Yin's computer screen, a bright silver, smooth, circular metal mirror was quietly suspended in mid-air in the corridor.

Patients, family members, and medical staff at the Rehabilitation Hospital walked through the corridor, but no one noticed the mirror.

"Ordinary people can't see the locator prop," Chu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "No players have found it yet, we'll probably be the first to arrive."

"Understood."

Ash slammed on the accelerator, the car drifted around a street corner, and drove into the street where the Rehabilitation Hospital was located.

The next second, everything changed color.

Ash, sitting in the driver's seat, was stunned to find that the surrounding scenery had all faded.

Streets, pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, plants, the sky,

Everything had turned into a monotonous gray and white.

In his consternation, the vehicle he was driving crashed into a normal van on the left, smashing part of the front of the van. Metal parts flew out and fell behind on the road.

However, the gray-white ordinary person driving the vehicle calmly gripped the steering wheel as if nothing had happened.

After his van separated from Ash's vehicle, it quickly healed the metal parts that had fallen behind. They flew over at an extremely high speed and attached to the recessed part of the front of the car like quicksand, restoring the van to its original state.

This is the isolation technique mentioned in the mission briefing.

Ash's expression changed drastically. The appearance of the isolation technique meant that other players were within 1,000 meters of him.

Moreover, judging from the direction of the spherical technique's movement, the other player was constantly closing the distance with him.

"This is an ambush!"

Ash roared violently. At the same time, in the hospital corridor surveillance footage observed by Chu Yin, a huge, dark green lepidopteran caterpillar covered in dense thorns slowly crawled out of the blind spot of the surveillance.

It was the size of a normal person, and the front half of its body was raised high like a snake, wriggling forward.

Chu Yin's pupils suddenly dilated. She clearly saw that a wristwatch identical to the one on her wrist was on the end of the caterpillar's fat body.

It is a player

The ordinary people in the corridor were not surprised by the appearance of the caterpillar at all. They were still doing their own things, ignoring it as it slowly approached the bright silver mirror and took the mirror from mid-air.

On Chu Yin's wrist, the golden rhomboid symbol representing the locator disappeared instantly. The next second, a system prompt sounded in all the players' ears.

Special prop Lunar Phase Locator, has been obtained by player Gururugugu

"That's an insect player!" Chu Yin shouted, "We are now about 1,500 meters away from the hospital. This isolation technique wasn't caused by the bug, but by his teammate!"

A step slow leads to more steps slow. Ash had already accelerated the vehicle as much as possible, but it was still too late. Not only did he not get the special prop, but he was also in a passive situation of being too close to the enemy team.

But, he is still a member of the Mobile Task Force,

After discovering that the special prop had been taken first by other players and that the player was a non-human insect, he immediately made a decision.

Eliminate the insect and its teammate who was rushing toward him.
