Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Coaxing a Confession

The ground, which looked as tough as stone, melted away rapidly under the influence of the prop, like wax ignited from beneath, chunks falling down, quickly extending to Xu Huo’s feet.

As the ground sank, his entire body fell along with it, and at the same time, the surrounding earth swiftly recoiled and wrapped around everything below his neck—firmly trapping him!

Then another Buzz Cut player lifted him with a Hovering Item, and blocked the one who made the first move, "Chang Sheng, the man should be handled by Mr. Kang!"

The player named Chang Sheng seemed unable to contain his anger and swung his knife to slice off one of Xu Huo’s ears, but unfortunately, two others joined forces to stop him. Buzz Cut said, "How can you explain it to Mr. Kang if you kill him before we even figure out what’s going on?"

"That doesn’t mean we can go easy on him; we went out with eleven people, and not a single one has come back!" Chang Sheng said angrily.

Buzz Cut and another person furrowed their brows, jointly pushed him away, and the former said, "Still, we have to wait for Mr. Kang’s decision. These are the rules set by Mr. Kang, are you planning to break them?"

When the rules were mentioned, Chang Sheng calmed down a bit, glared fiercely at Xu Huo, and then said, "Fine! We’ll go to Mr. Kang first! I will ask Mr. Kang to let me deal with this... wait and see how I’ll cook your goose!"

The last sentence was directed at Xu Huo.

Being trapped in the mud, Xu Huo didn’t talk back, waiting without any resistance for them to take him in front of Mr. Kang.

It seemed that Mr. Kang was already aware of the situation at the gate and had called for two players to come over.

Seeing that Xu Huo had been captured, the two men did not say much, just took him and started to leave, while only Chang Sheng insisted on following along.

In the end, the three people returned to the commercial building with Xu Huo. As they passed through the streets, those who had been idly hiding in the houses came out one by one, and just like the day Xu Huo and his group had arrived, they looked at him with eager and fervent eyes, swallowing saliva even more frequently.

"...Wondering if I’ll get a share of the spoils..." Such voices emerged from the crowd. Xu Huo looked back, gazing into each pair of eyes, noting their similar numbness.

Xu Huo was quickly brought into the building. In the first-floor lobby, Guan Shu and the others were there, seemingly in the midst of a banquet. The three long tables placed in the middle of the lobby were covered with a variety of meats, the strong scent of spices stimulating appetites, but the complexions of Guan Shu and the nine ordinary people from District 002—including the girl who bit others, Tan Qi, and the baby—were unsightly: yes, only nine people remained from District 002, with just two adult males among them.

At this moment, the people from District 002 were no longer as carefree as the day they arrived, continuously swallowing saliva at the sight of the feast, yet their faces bore disgust and nausea.

Moreover, there were new wounds on the bodies of Guan Shu and the others, especially Ruan Qiyuan, whose legs were both braced, now sitting on a wheelchair alongside Chi Minghong.

Tan Qi and the girl who bit others stood between them, while the baby brought out by Xu Huo was held by Lin Qiao.

They were surrounded by crowds, with several lustful gazes fixed upon the child in Lin Qiao’s arms.

After Xu Huo’s entrance, only a few players from Xiaohe City spared him attention, their eyes lingering on the ordinary people instead. The female members of District 002 were nearly huddled together, shivering, but to the players of Xiaohe City, they were lambs to the slaughter.

Of course, the sealed and delivered Xu Huo was in the same plight.

"Old Xu!" Chi Minghong looked at him in shock.

Xu Huo nodded gently towards her, then looked up at Mr. Kang at the head of the table. The white-haired old man was sniffing the scent in his wine cup, but what was inside was no longer wine, but a liquid that resembled fresh blood, with a fishy smell.

Of course, the dishes laid out on the table were visibly not normal. It was obvious that the ingredients used in some of the dishes were different from those of the Alien, and something was being smothered in the center of the table, a hint of burnt aroma emerging with a sizzling sound of oil splatter.

The hall was very quiet, except for the increasingly rapid breathing of the people from District 002.

It was a few seconds before Mr. Kang put his wine cup down and, lifting his eyelids, looked at Xu Huo, "Did you kill Jiang Wenzhang and the others?"

"That’s none of my business," Xu Huo responded. "They insisted on entering the Stone Forest to catch a Variant Cub. The place is swarming with Aliens, what’s so strange about an accident? I’m just lucky I managed to escape."

How could Mr. Kang possibly believe his words? He examined Xu Huo with an indescribable look in his eyes, seeming both unconvinced that he could have killed Jiang Wenzhang and the others, and likewise finding it incredible that he dared to return.

Xu Huo still had an indifferent demeanor, yet with a slightly forced calmness, he added, "I came back with good intentions to report the news, if you send people out now, you might still be able to save a few."

Mr. Kang nodded to another tall Player next to him, who then walked up to Xu Huo and waved his right hand in front of him.

Uncontrollably, Xu Huo closed his eyes, and in a fleeting moment, he seemed to sink into chaos, only hearing a voice from afar asking, "Are Jiang Wenzhang and the others dead?"

"Not all dead..." Xu Huo replied subconsciously.

"Where are the people?" the other party asked again.

Xu Huo’s eyelids twitched, and he replied vacantly, "Stone Forest... Wang Mo used a bomb... everyone was buried..."

The tall one turned his head back and nodded at Mr. Kang, then continued to ask, "Did only you escape? Where is the girl with the last name Zhou?"

"Yes... She was killed by Yuan Kai..."

...

The tall Player continued to press Xu Huo with many detailed questions for affirmation, leading him to become trapped within his own consciousness; meanwhile, Ruan Qiyuan grew agitated upon hearing about Zhou Yuanzhu’s fate, but was quickly subdued.

By the time ten minutes had passed, Xu Huo instinctively no longer wanted to speak; he complied with this instinct and stood silently in place.

Ruan Qiyuan had his mouth sealed by a Prop and couldn’t speak; Guan Shu and Lin Qiao could only watch. It was only a day and a night, but the Players from Xiaohe City gradually stopped hiding their true faces in front of them, even provoking them openly and going so far as to beat Ruan Qi into disability after a conflict!

Their posture became more and more explicit, as if just waiting for Mr. Kang’s command to rush up and devour them—tonight’s feast seemed to be their last supper, with the missing persons from District 002 now laid out on the table, dish by dish... In the current situation, they had almost no chance of turning the tables, so they couldn’t afford to delve into the details of Zhou Yuanzhu’s death.

"I said it, how could he possibly outsmart Jiang Wenzhang alone?" After a while, Qian Zi said, "Cao Zheng and the others were buried under the Stone Forest and might still be alive; shall I take a few people for a rescue?"
