Chapter 595: Chapter 595 Xu Huo’s Fame

Huang Junjie and the others had already dragged the bodies on top of the car into the carriage, and Abel said, "I knew these bastards were up to no good, even freezing people in refrigerators, I’m frozen to death!"

Similarly frightened were Guan Zuhong and Xiao Zhang, who were also assigned to this group. Guan Zuhong said, "We were already cautious enough, but still fell into their trap. Where are they taking us? Where are the rest?"

With a few "swish" sounds, a window opened at the front of the carriage, and Xu Huo, with his back to them, said, "Twin Snakes has two gathering places in Yang City, Huimei Wellness Center and Taole Club. This car is headed for the wellness center, and the other five should have been taken to Taole Club."

Upon hearing Taole Club, Huang Junjie immediately frowned and said, "How did this get connected to Taole Club? Most of its members are powerful and influential, and even the Special Defense Department..."

Before he could finish, he came to a realization, "Could the kidnapping have something to do with the Special Defense Department?"

"Whether there’s a connection is not clear for now, but there’s definitely someone in the Yang City Special Defense Department who is aware," said Xu Huo.

The remaining three exchanged a look, and Abel asked, "What do they want with us Players?"

"What else could Players kidnapping Players be about?" Xiao Zhang said darkly, "It’s either for props or for eating. Considering the way they tricked people into going in circles, it’s likely the latter."

The color drained from the faces of several people in the car, and Guan Zuhong asked, "Could Brother Liang have been caught by them?"

"Besides the ten that are alive, twenty Players who died at the resort were taken in three groups to other places," said Xu Huo. "At least one location is not in Yang City."

Everyone present understood the implications, especially Huang Junjie. He was all too familiar with the compromises and power struggles among the various forces. With Twin Snakes Organization operating on such a large scale and committing crimes across cities, it is highly likely they have official backing, not to say that the nation supports them, but that there may be a Judas among them.

Among those who become Players, there are also individuals with high authority. If they became Cannibal Players and successfully concealed their identities, it’s entirely possible for them to develop an organization like Twin Snakes in such a short time, especially since the involvement of the Special Defense Department in this matter seems quite ambiguous.

First of all, there were definitely Player disappearances; surely someone like Brother Liang would have sensed something wrong. But why then did the investigations by the Special Defense Department repeatedly turn up nothing?

If it’s not the involvement of members from the Special Defense Department, then someone is leaking information.

If that’s really the case, mishandling it could lead to insurrection.

"They’ve gone to great lengths to get the living Players over there; there might be some key figures showing up at Taole Club," said Xu Huo, who had already changed the direction of the vehicle.

Huang Junjie looked at him in shock, "Are you planning to move against them? Do you have any idea how many Players they’ve gathered under them?"

Let’s not even talk about whether they’re a match or not; didn’t he think about the continual retaliation they’d face if they actually made a move?

Xu Huo glanced at him through the rearview mirror and said, "Tan Yang was also captured. I suspect the disturbance before we left the resort was his doing."

Huang Junjie’s expression turned grim.

"Buzz, buzz!" A call from an unknown number came through to the Girl in the painting’s phone, and Xu Huo tapped to answer. The Girl in the painting’s face appeared on the screen.

The phone was propped up on a stand, and she was typing away furiously, "These people are so mean, they actually wanted to eat me!"

In the video, behind her, bodies were piled up, most wearing black robes and a few in gray. They were covered in blood and showed multiple cuts from sharp weapons. The bodies were clearly arranged by someone, and some clear liquid could be seen flowing on them and on the ground.

"You’ve prepared thoroughly." The murder tools had already been put away, and what remained was disposing of the bodies. Xu Huo complimented her, then asked, "Did anyone get away?"

The Girl in the painting’s gaze flickered.

Xu Huo understood, "They saw you act?"

The Girl in the painting put on a pitiful expression.

Xu Huo tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. Back in Sea City, the Girl in the painting had impersonated him to become the Player who acquired the Super Props. Her inherent ability to manipulate paper was mistaken for the effect of a Super Prop. The incident concluded with him, disguised as a high-level Player from another zone, "killing" her to steal the Super Prop.

While the Girl in the painting had changed her face, a high-level player from another zone wouldn’t bother pretending to be dead just to disrupt a Twin Snakes gathering. If anyone witnessed the Girl in the painting using paper, they would recognize it as the effect of that Super Prop and realize the Super Prop hadn’t left Zone 014 and hadn’t been stolen by a high-level player but remained in the hands of an Level E or Level D Player.

But dealing with this issue wouldn’t be difficult.

"How many got away?" he asked again.

The Girl in the painting raised her finger and indicated "one."

"Do you remember how they looked?"

The Girl in the painting nodded and said, "I’ll recognize them if I see them."

"I’m heading to Taole Club in Yang City now. Dispose of the bodies and come afterwards," Xu Huo said before hanging up.

"Looking at those bodies, several of them have red numbers on their backs," said Abel. "Looks like they were really gathering for a barbecue party."

Huang Junjie gave him a cold glance. Unperturbed, Abel patted his shoulder with a chuckle, "We really do have a bond. We solved instances together with Xu Huo before, and today we’re going to destroy a Cannibal Player base. Could this be the arrangement of the Jade Emperor?"

Huang Junjie was not amused, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

As he spoke, he looked forward, his eyes lingering on the fake face of Xu Huo.

Abel patted the back of Xu Huo’s seat, "We’re all acquaintances here, no need to pretend, I know you’re Xu Huo."

Xu Huo didn’t react, but Guan Zuhong and Xiao Zhang were quite shocked, "You’re Xu Huo!"

Xiao Zhang, who had met Xu Huo with Brother Liang just a few days ago, said, "You’re actually Xu Huo; Brother Liang and I thought you were just a pretty strong player, had we known it was you, Brother Liang definitely wouldn’t have disappeared!"

Xu Huo’s reputation grew when he destroyed several Evolver captivity sites in Jing City. Even though his identity was processed by the Special Defense Department, the name still got out, and he became a somewhat mysterious figure in the circle of Players.

"Brother Xu," Xiao Zhang said with a serious tone, "we in the player circle all respect you. Now with Brother Liang missing, we should be out looking for him, but you said you’re going to Taole Club. You want to go against the Twin Snakes Organization, don’t you? Though we’re not many, we want to lend our strength to this cause!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone, "Don’t worry, they’re all trustworthy, and they absolutely loathe Cannibal Players. We won’t balk at a one-for-one trade!"

"You’re not looking for Brother Liang anymore?" Huang Junjie asked with an inscrutable look.

"Even Brother Liang would support us if he knew," Xiao Zhang said through gritted teeth, "we must kill those Cannibal bastards first!"
