Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Besides deductions, Xu Huo’s words were laced with disdain for District 001 and contempt for the players in the military district, as if this area was a cesspool that had become a haven for the despicable, while good people like the Wan Family only had death as their fate.

This caused the military district’s people to be thoroughly enraged.

They are not devoid of emotions, so when they heard about the incident involving Lady Shela and the Wan Family, emotional fluctuations were inevitable, and the person standing by the device showed more obvious emotions, indicating that the people in the military district were not completely unaware, even if they were not participants.

When Xu Huo insulted District 001, the reactions of these people were much more straightforward, even the person like a mute spoke up:

"When I catch you, let’s see if you still have such a hard mouth!"

Under the blockade and interference of the device, neither side could use props or devices, so the military district’s people brought weapons in advance. Although Xu Huo didn’t have time to take out his props, he still had some igniters left from before. After the test ended, he glanced at the direction of the chain with tracking characteristics, threw down a few igniters to force away a few people around him, then flashed to the edge of the blockade barrier, pulled out a dagger to make a slit, and crashed through it.

The military district people had prepared in advance, so it wasn’t impossible for them to set up this layer of barrier, but Xu Huo didn’t intend to escape in one go; he simply changed places and threw off Buzz Cut and some military personnel.

The range of the non-game location simulation device is not large; after getting out of one barrier, the props returned to normal. Xu Huo also took out two spatial interference devices, weakened the outer blockade, quickly distanced himself from Cat Fruit Town through the mental portal, and only after shaking off the military district people did he use a teleportation prop to return to Cat Whisker Fruit Tree Mountain.

Bubble Bean had been waiting impatiently for a long time and jumped down from the tree as soon as he saw him, "How was it? No tails, right?"

"I shook them all off." Xu Huo said, even in a district like 001, formidable Rank-A players are not everywhere.

"Here’s what you wanted." Bubble Bean threw a recorder to him, "I’ve been filming since before entering the Mi Family."

The process of Bubble Bean meeting with Mi Fei was quite simple. Probably because of his qualities in this aspect, Mi Fei’s words didn’t have many loopholes. However, when mentioning Wan Dong, emotional fluctuations were evident, especially when Old Lady Gui intentionally brought up that Wan Dong had been followed and filmed secretly for a long time before his disappearance. Mi Fei got even more agitated, but after his agitation, he calmed down and said he was unaware of the Wan Family’s matters.

What’s interesting is that Bubble Bean’s business card wasn’t directly left but was instead taken after Mi Fei hesitated.

"I think there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance this kid will contact me." Bubble Bean said.

"Hard to say." Xu Huo finished watching the video, "He might not know much."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so agitated; obviously, this matter was kept from him beforehand, even if he had known by coincidence.

"This matter must be related to the Mi Family," Bubble Bean said, "Since it’s already a big deal, why not capture a couple of people and ask around; maybe someone knows the whereabouts of the Wan Family."

Xu Huo didn’t agree. If this was just the act of a particular power or if Lady Shela arranged it alone or teamed up with the Mi Family, they could be breakthrough points. But the matter is obviously not that simple; Lady Shela, the Mi Family, the Law Enforcement Team, and the military district all have insiders, indicating this is a collective agreement.

The people in the same camp seem to have the same interests, but they often have different disagreements when making decisions. The fact that different forces with different systems can compromise to do something as despicable, low-key, and cruel as kidnapping a family with a century of good reputation suggests that this is far more than just a council member election.

Such unity to this degree even suggests the Wan Family might be participants.

Risking dozens of lives just to pull down one candidate isn’t worth it.

There must be some other major event happening in District 001.

Xu Huo rubbed his fingers on the recorder, quickly recalling the information he had browsed in the game library and the Collection of Information Terminal. After a moment, he looked at Bubble Bean, "The head of the Mi Family isn’t at home; you should go again. If Mi Fei hasn’t left yet, ask where his grandfather might have gone."

"If he’s unwilling to say, tell him that the Wan Family kidnapping is self-directed, and Wan Dong is the victim."

Bubble Bean didn’t understand how things suddenly jumped to this point, but before he could ask more, Xu Huo added: "You’re on your own; I have other matters to attend to. No matter the result, relay the message to me first thing."

"Where are you going?" Bubble Bean worried he might shake him off and clear the stage solo.

"Going to find Old Lady Gui." Xu Huo said, "She and that stalker have been caught; there should be someone who understands the inside story where they are taken."

Bubble Bean then understood the reason for leaving Old Lady Gui, "Even so, Mi Fei might not cooperate just because I say so. I think Old Lady Gui’s side has a better chance of a breakthrough."

Xu Huo glanced at him, "Shall we exchange roles?"

Bubble Bean realized there was no room for negotiation, and sheepishly agreed, "You are much more skilled and brave; I’ll handle the Mi Family then. Just don’t forget me when you clear the field."

The three of them split up, Bubble Bean heading back to the Mi Family, while Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting followed the characteristics to track where Old Lady Gui had been taken.

Old Lady Gui is different from the stalker. The stalker is a player, and the first thing that would happen upon capture would be to remove all props from him, including characteristics. Old Lady Gui is an ordinary person, and a local of the district, so even the examination wouldn’t be that thorough. Moreover, the Cat Whisker Fruit she sent eventually reached Lady Shela, which is just one extended part of the whole event, so if she is lucky, the inspection wouldn’t be so meticulous, but she’ll definitely be captured.

It’s uncertain where she was sent, but if someone really came to interrogate her, that person was most likely an insider.

However, Xu Huo still underestimated the rigor of the military district. Just as the other end of the tracking characteristic chain was moving, it suddenly dissipated. Xu Huo could only estimate a general area, and he and the Girl in the painting hurriedly rushed over, yet only managed to catch the aftermath left by several flying devices—the military district people had changed places using spatial teleportation.

In the deserted mountains, only the sounds of birds and beasts could be heard.

"What a pity." Xu Huo thought Old Lady Gui was most likely being held in the military district close to Cat Fruit Town, as cross-regional transfers could give other forces opportunities. Unexpectedly, they did it so thoroughly, directly making her "disappear."

This is all a race against time.
