Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053 Rumors of the Holy Sword Society

Hiding behind a nearby tree with the woman and the child, Xu Huo slowly enveloped the area with his Psychic Power.

The incoming group wasn’t small; all eight people had injuries to different extents, and among them was Zhou Yuanzhu, who had just left the villa.

According to Chi Minghong, Zhou Yuanzhu should also be a Super Evolver; her nails can grow rapidly, in line with the characteristic of Super Evolvers who can control their bodies, but it’s unknown if she has evolved in other aspects.

"We’re almost to the villa." Zhou Yuanzhu, who was leading, stopped. "Logically speaking, the last instance just ended, so a new one shouldn’t spawn so soon. But to be safe, let’s hide in the grove."

The group found a relatively flat area to rest. Besides using some Props to hide their traces, they also dared not turn on any lighting, and they spoke in hushed tones.

"I thought I’d make a big score, but those automatons were hard enough to handle." One of the men with Mutton Chop Beards complained after taking a sip of water: "It cost me a lot of Potions and Props, and who knows when I can replenish them."

"If it really doesn’t work out, we’d better run fast. Who knows how long District 002 and the Holy Sword Society will keep fighting... I’ve never heard of the Holy Sword Society having such a sense of justice before, to meddle in other districts’ affairs like this." Another person scoffed, "I’ve never heard of murderers criticizing arsonists before, they’re both as bad as each other."

Rumors about the Holy Sword Society were familiar to all Players present, and some had encountered Members of the Holy Sword Society. Their impressions weren’t good, and one man with braids said, "I once ran into a group of Holy Sword Society Players. They monopolized an instance location, and almost everyone who went in was robbed. Some female Players were even assaulted. Despicable!"

"Then what you encountered probably wasn’t the real Members of the Holy Sword Society." Zhou Yuanzhu chimed in, "I have a senior who had dealt with people from the Holy Sword Society. The current Holy Sword Society is actually not the original one—the founding team had disagreements, and the original members split off a long time ago."

"Does that make two Holy Sword Societies?" Mutton Chop Beards followed up, "The members of the Holy Sword Society now seem to be widespread across different districts. Which one is this?"

Zhou Yuanzhu shrugged, "I don’t know about that, but it is said that the original purpose of founding the Holy Sword Society was to fight against the game. You all know the Potions we use are defective, right? People from the Holy Sword Society believed that the Game Government has controlled the Flawless Potions."

The topic successfully captured the attention of the other Players, and the braided Player asked, "Is there really such a Potion?"

"There are rumors about it." Zhou Yuanzhu said, "I’ve heard this from more than one person. Have you heard of Dr. Wu?"

"Dr. Wu?" Most people present looked puzzled. A long-haired female Player sitting at the edge said, "I’ve heard about him. It’s said that the Potions developed by Dr. Wu are flawless, with no side effects after Evolution."

Zhou Yuanzhu nodded, "An old senior told me Dr. Wu was originally with the Game Government. For some reason, he fell out with the Game Government. He was the one who developed the Flawless Potion, and the Game Government has been looking for him ever since."

"So, finding Dr. Wu could give us a chance to avoid the side effects of Evolution?" Mutton Chop Beards said.

"It’s not that easy to find him. Even the Game Government can’t find him. Also, think about how many Advanced Players are out there. They also face the problem of Evolution side effects, don’t they?" The braided Player said, "Take Lawrence Lee, for instance. He is a Super Player."

"That’s true." The long-haired female Player agreed, "But it’s not just because Dr. Wu is hard to find. There’s a strict requirement for Players taking Potions, which is that it must be done at the onset of Evolution. If you’ve used more than three Evolution Potions, even a Flawless Potion won’t work. The foundation of the Evolution has already been set."

This cooled the enthusiasm of the others. Mutton Chop Beards slapped his thigh, "Heh, I knew it couldn’t be that good."

"Does Dr. Wu have any connection to the Holy Sword Society?" The long-haired female Player asked Zhou Yuanzhu.

"Not really," Zhou Yuanzhu replied, "but it is said that after developing the Flawless Potion, Dr. Wu had originally planned to make it public. However, the Game Government banned the sale of these Potions in order to control Players, so that’s why the Holy Sword Society thought of getting the Potion from the Game Government."

"Of course, finding Dr. Wu is also a way, but it’s hard to even say if he’s still alive. On the other hand, the Game Government has always been there."

"This is not an easy thing, the foundation of the Game Government is deeper than ordinary people can imagine. It’s useless, no matter how many Players, even a hundred, all from one district."

"The Holy Sword Society split because of this, right?" The long-haired female Player said, "It’s not ordinary for someone to make sacrifices for the sake of newcomers."

"I guess so," Zhou Yuanzhu took a sip of water, "which is probably why the people we saw today are most likely the original Holy Sword Society members. Otherwise, who would care to attack where in District 002?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, then Mutton Chop Beards said, "Looks like that’s what the Holy Sword Society is about. They still haven’t made any sensible progress to this day. Maybe they’ve already been ambushed."

The braided Player sighed, "I do admire them, though."

"Don’t really consider the Holy Sword Society’s Players as saints." An older Player with graying hair said, "Regardless of whether the Holy Sword Society has split and who the current people are, aren’t they also robbing District 002? The conflict has affected such a wide area, and a lot of common people have died."

"They can’t just do whatever they want and kill people just because they claim to be doing it for the good of others."

"I think they are all the same, only for their own interests, putting on a show of righteousness."

Zhou Yuanzhu threw her water bottle to the ground, "You’re right, everyone is only responsible for clearing the snow in front of their own door, no one cares about the life and death of others."

After that, the atmosphere became rather stiff, and no one spoke again, and everyone rested on their own.

But the quiet didn’t last for two minutes before the roar of engines from flying vehicles echoed from a distance in the forest. Followed by several blasts, a number of shells dived from the sky, heading straight for the depths of the forest!

"Not good!" Zhou Yuanzhu immediately stood up, "The Players from the Government’s office are coming after us!"

Just as these people were about to scatter and flee, the shells deviated from their location and landed about fifty meters away from them!

The explosion, accompanied by heat waves and the splintered debris of the trees, scattered in all directions. Mutton Chop Beards, who defended himself with a Defense Prop from the blast, couldn’t help but complain, "What kind of accuracy do those guys from District 002 have with their artillery!"

The braided Player rolled his eyes, "It didn’t hit you because you’re not the target. Look ahead!"
