Chapter 891 Sneak Attack

"Hey~ Hello everyone." Feng Bujue walked into the conference room with a relaxed look. No one could tell... not long ago, he was involved in a strange gambling game related to a mysterious organization, and caused a well-known entrepreneur who was often in the newspapers to disappear from the world.

"I saw that you haven't come back yet, so I went online first." Ruoyu, who was sitting at the conference table, said after seeing him.

"Luckily you arrived in time..." Miss An continued, "We were just discussing... In case you are absent today, can we communicate with the game company through customer service... Let us play in a 'no spectator' state."

"Haha... Don't worry." Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "Even if I can't get home in time, I will find a way to find a device to connect online."

"Speaking of which..." Ruoyu said at this time, "After lunch, you said you were going out with Ouyang Jian to do something, and then you didn't show up until now..." She paused and cast a meaningful look at Brother Jue, "You two... You didn't really go to Corpse Knife to blackmail, did you?"

This conference room is full of people from the same group, so Ruoyu is not afraid to make these things clear. When Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling and Miss An heard the word "blackmail", they were only briefly surprised︽, just for a moment, and soon... They accepted this setting and sincerely believed that it was not surprising that Feng Bujue would do such a thing.

"That's not the case." Feng Bujue said, "We just went to the office building of Corpse Blade and talked to their chairman."

"As a result..." Ruoyu motioned for Brother Jue to continue.

"I think their company is unlikely to have the energy to 'take care of me' for a long time." Feng Bujue replied with a vague answer.

"Brother Jue..." Xiao Tan still understood Brother Jue, and he immediately raised his eyes and said, "Well... you didn't kill him or drive him crazy?"

"Hehe..." Feng Bujue smiled, "What you said..." He shrugged and moved his eyes away, "Even if he really died or went crazy in the near future... it has nothing to do with me directly."

"That is to say..." Ruoyu continued, "... there is an indirect relationship?"

"Hehe..." Brother Jue smiled. But he still didn't reveal any exact information. "I guess... there will be news about today's incident in a few days. Anyway, I can't explain it clearly for a while, so you should go and see it yourself when the time comes." After that, he changed the subject, "Okay, let's quickly form a team. There are two minutes (in real time) before we have to prepare to enter the queue."

…………

At the same time, Corpse Blade Studio.

"Let me sort out the clues..." In the general manager's office, Corpse Blade's general manager Liu was talking to Captain Wu of the security department across the table. "At that time... the chairman suddenly called you and asked you to gather all the security guards within three minutes... run to the top floor, help him search the entire floor, and guard the door of his office to prevent anyone from entering." He paused for a second, "and about ten minutes later, a lawyer named Ouyang and... the novelist named 'Feng Bujue', each holding a suitcase and a tablet... walked out of the chairman's office..."

"Yes." Captain Wu nodded in response.

"And you just let them go?" Manager Liu asked.

"Uh... the chairman ordered us to let them go." Captain Wu replied.

"How did he order us to leave?" Manager Liu asked with a frown.

"He... called me again." Captain Wu replied, and added half a second later, "Just when the two walked out of the chairman's office door."

"Oh?" Manager Liu looked suspicious and muttered. "Then why didn't he come out of the chairman's office to tell you in person? It's only a few steps away..."

"I don't know about that..." Captain Wu shook his head.

"Okay..." Manager Liu nodded, "Go on..."

Captain Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued: "After the lawyer Ouyang and the novelist surnamed Feng left the top floor, the chairman immediately called me again. Let me pack up and return to my post." He recalled and said, "Later... about ten minutes later, I saw the chairman and a man in a Tang suit walk out of his office together through the surveillance camera and walk into the elevator."

"Who is that?" Manager Liu interrupted.

"Uh... I don't know." Captain Wu replied somewhat embarrassedly. "The three people who came out of the chairman's office tonight...Except for the lawyer Ouyang who made an appointment when he came and brought the pass we issued, the other two had no record of entering the building..."

"That's your negligence?" Manager Liu asked in a questioning tone.

"Well...I..." Captain Wu couldn't think of any excuse. He could only reply, "I have sent someone to check the surveillance video, maybe we can find out how they got away..."

"Okay, there's no need..." Manager Liu interrupted, "At this point, it's meaningless to do that..." He frowned and pursed his lips, "If something really happened to the chairman this time...it will alert the police sooner or later, and the police will naturally check the video at that time, you just need to cooperate with them."

"Yes...yes..." Captain Wu continued.

"So, what happened next?" Manager Liu asked again, "You just watched the chairman being carried away by the man in the Tang suit?"

"Uh...he..." Captain Wu replied hesitantly, "The chairman...didn't look like he was carried away."

Manager Liu continued, "Did he follow that man on his own?"

"Yes." Captain Wu nodded, "We saw from the surveillance that the chairman wore a pair of sunglasses, covering most of his face, and held the man's shoulder with one hand, following behind him...the two took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor and walked out of the building." He curled his lips helplessly, "The security guard in the lobby also recognized the chairman, because he seemed to be following others voluntarily , so no one stepped forward to stop him. "

"Well..." Manager Liu fell into deep thought, and after a moment he continued, "Anyway... let's put this matter on hold for now. After all, the chairman is an adult. Since he was not forced to leave, there may be some hidden reasons... Let's not jump to conclusions or worry about it. Maybe he will come to the company to work as usual tomorrow..." He looked at Captain Wu and winked, "I... will try to contact the chairman again. If I really can't contact him, I will call his home later and tell him about the situation in general. How to deal with it at that time... let them decide." When he said this, he seemed to have sorted out the clues. At the end, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Even if we really have to call the police, it would be more appropriate to let the chairman's family report it... Don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, yes~" Captain Wu nodded like a sieve, "Manager Liu is right..."

For Captain Wu, at this moment, it would be great to have someone with a clear mind to settle the accounts, shirk responsibilities, and make decisions.

"Okay..." Manager Liu took a sip of the teacup on the table, "You should go back to work too. Tonight... I still have a lot of things to do."

"Okay, Manager Liu. I'll go first." Captain Wu responded and quickly left the general manager's office.

After Captain Wu closed the door, Manager Liu's expression suddenly became gloomy. After a few seconds, he took out a very old mobile phone from his arms. He pressed the speed dial button.

"Hello? Yes... It's me." Manager Liu said in a deep voice, "Yes... I have arranged it all, and I can at least get more than ten hours... OK... I understand... Everything will be done according to your wishes, Mr. Kujo..." He paused, "By the way... Regarding tonight's game... I have changed the medicine for Team 1. The effect of the medicine will dissipate after the game starts. Is this okay?"

…………

Midnight, that is, midnight on November 9th.

The third round of the four worlds. The battle of the top 32 from the top 64 begins...

[Loading completed, welcome to Peak Contest S2-Fighting in Four Realms. ]

[This mode provides a brief introduction to the scenario, and there is a chance of side/hidden tasks and special world views. 】

【Script victory reward: advance to the fourth round of the semi-finals. 】

【Script introduction will be played soon, and the game will start immediately after it is played. 】

After a familiar system prompt, the opening CG began to play.

【A century-old town, a fierce evil suddenly came. 】

【A thousand-year-old temple, bloody shadows. 】

This opening speech is concise and to the point. However, the CG screen shows a very harmonious scene...

【Heyue Town is famous for its beautiful scenery; there is an ancient temple on the west mountain of the town, called "Liuhe Temple", which is a thousand-year-old temple. 】

Accompanied by the narration, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, came into the eyes of the players.

【More than a hundred years ago, a group of refugees fled here from afar, and the monks in the temple gave them rice and porridge, saving their lives. After that, the refugees reclaimed farmland at the foot of Liuhe Temple Mountain, widened the canal, and built this town. 】

【After a hundred years of vicissitudes, Heyue Town has become a world-famous Buddhist holy land and a land of fish and rice. 】

【However, in the 100th year after Heyue Town was built, a rumor about Liuhe Temple spread like wildfire...】

The narration changed the topic at this point, and the CG picture also changed its style.

【Legend has it that there is a Buddhist secret treasure enshrined in the temple...】

The camera moved quickly and flew over the sky of Liuhe Temple from a bird's-eye view.

【There are nine gates and nine pivots in the temple... A total of ninety-nine and eighty-one restrictions to seal the secret treasure. The method to unlock the restrictions was passed down by word of mouth by successive abbots and kept strictly confidential. 】

When saying this, the camera locked onto a pagoda in the temple.

【One year, a group of famous bandits set their sights on this secret treasure and sneaked into the temple one night...】

The narration ended here, but the CG was not over yet...

But the camera went black... The next second, pale and hideous faces, empty eyes, and blood-stained bodies flashed across the screen at high speed. Countless shrill cries and crazy laughter rang in the ears of the players.

Just as this horrific sound and picture intertwined and rushed towards them... the script began.

When Feng Bujue regained his ability to move, he clearly felt cold.

It was a bone-chilling cold, cold from the inside out... Even though the temperature around was not very low, he could spit out white mist from his mouth.

"Has the beautiful land of fish and rice become like this..." Brother Jue immediately scanned the surrounding environment, and he saw dilapidated houses, broken stone bridges, muddy roads, withered plants... Of course, the most noteworthy thing is blood.

Whether it is on the walls, stone roads, muddy ground, or even dead tree trunks, rocks on the roadside... you can find blood stains.

The blood was dark red in color, and was mostly irregular in shape, with a few in the shape of "handprints"; in addition to the strong smell of blood, they also exuded bursts of pungent stench.

[Main quest has been triggered]

[Kill four members of the "Corpse Blade Team 1". ]

The system prompt soon sounded, announcing the official start of the game. But at this time, Brother Jue looked around and there was not a single person around.

It seems... this script has thrown the players in various parts of the town from the beginning, and... this is probably a ghost town.

"Well... let me take a look first..." Feng Bujue muttered this sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.

As he spoke, he squatted down, wiped the blood stains on the ground, took it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and smelled it carefully... Just when the audience watching the game thought that Brother Jue was about to put his finger in his mouth and lick it, he shook his hand and stood up again.

"So..." Brother Jue thought thoughtfully, "What will happen..." He glanced around again, "Are hundreds of people with blood coagulation disorders having a fight here?" His eyes changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Or... am I already in some strange 'barrier'..." Two seconds later, he tilted his head without comment, and returned to a non-serious look, "If it's the latter... Then I have to be careful in this environment where blood can't coagulate... Maybe a few small wounds will be fatal..."

Tut-tut-tut-tut--

Just as Brother Jue said that, suddenly... a burst of gunfire sounded behind him. (To be continued...)
