Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Discuss a Deal

Just emerging from hallucinations, Yuan Yao and Sima Xiao’er, with their hands and feet weakened, politely declined Xu Huo’s kindness, tacitly left the room together, then one entered the bedroom, and the other prepared to return to the Special Defense Department.

The Girl in the painting brought the scattered prop knives to Sima Xiao’er, who had already forgotten the beating he endured and sincerely thanked her with a full face of gratitude.

The Girl in the painting also smiled shyly, her large watery eyes blinking straight at him.

Sima Xiao’er opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but upon seeing Xu Huo coming out of the room behind them, he immediately swallowed his words and turned to leave without another word.

The Girl in the painting was puzzled for a moment but quickly closed the door and trotted to Xu Huo’s side, "Can you give me some pocket money?"

Xu Huo looked at her seriously, "Where did all your money go?"

The Girl in the painting bashfully produced her mobile phone, revealing the game software on it.

Xu Huo took her phone, returned it a few seconds later, "Play less, it’s not healthy."

The Girl in the painting discovered that her game had been deleted, wound up her fist to smash it on him, but Xu Huo pressed her head, "How about this, if you play only two hours a day, I’ll double your allowance."

The Girl in the painting nodded without hesitation and happily started watching a drama series.

Xu Huo didn’t pay her any more attention, checked the weather for the upcoming days, and after a good sleep, drove Yuan Yao’s car to the airport, where he bought two tickets to Jing City on the spot - indeed, taking public transportation.

It had been four days since he had openly "provoked" the Special Defense Department in the video. Throughout these days, an increasing number of players had been heading towards Jing City, several blocks near the Special Defense Department Headquarters were completely sealed off. As more and more strangers appeared in the area, some of the local residents bundled up their families and fled overnight.

In just a few days, the area near the Special Defense Department Headquarters had turned into a ghost town, yet the number of drones had risen.

"I wonder how many of these are players?" Director Chang watched the footage sent back by the drones. Many people in the footage had noticed the drone surveillance, but they didn’t care, neither interfering with the drones nor avoiding them, clearly communicating to the Special Defense Department that they were players and they wouldn’t leave.

"Most are probably just here for the spectacle," Dai Wenqian adjusted his glasses, "They are harmless to the Special Defense Department, could even help clean up some players."

"On various online platforms, including the Pioneer Forum, there is a lot of support for Xu Huo, with some players also expressing their support, believing that he is ridding the people of evil. Some are raising funds, others offering manpower, all wishing to come to the headquarters to help."

Director Chang chuckled, "If only everyone were that easy to handle."

However, according to data fed back from various entry points, the number of players is likely substantial,

Surviving till now and still maintaining sanity, don’t expect such a person’s mentality to be normal

"Handled poorly, this could indeed cause problems," said Dai Wenqian. "According to my prior suggestion, it would be best to guide the players into random instances in batches."

"Scattering the players across instances makes it easier to manage,

this is part of the plan to confront ’the ten-day ultimatum,’ which the headquarters has already voted and passed. The only issue is dispersing the players, whether through substitute decoys or forceful eviction, all require Xu Huo’s cooperation.

At the mention of Xu Huo, Dai Wenqian showed a subtle change in his expression. He didn’t reveal much in front of others but instead said: "Xu Huo is a smart man; he won’t be so irrational as to directly confront the headquarters. Even if he wanted to, he doesn’t have the capability."

After he finished speaking, he glanced to the side and lowered his voice: "Professor Tang has arrived."

Director Chang turned away from the window, all smiles, "You’ve finished talking with Chief Wu? It must have been a hassle to make the trip."

Tang Guangbo was as elegantly mannered as ever, dressed in neat casual clothing, standing in the bustling corridor as if he were on the podium at a university.

He briefly shared his attention with Dai Wenqian, who had stepped back behind Director Chang, and smiled, "It’s nothing, we all do our part for the country. Moreover, I only know a little about psychology, not too helpful."

Xu Huo’s family, including his stepmother’s relatives, and the player Yu Qingqing were all under surveillance, not allowed to move around freely, but Professor Tang, as usual, was coming and going in the headquarters. Although Minister Fan did not contact him directly, through Chief Wu, he sought his advice on public relations measures.

The incident with Twin Snakes was resolved rather quickly by the headquarters this time. Had it not been for the subsequent "ten-day ultimatum," the steer of public opinion should have been favourable. Everyone was left hanging by the announcement, and the Special Defense Department had to inoculate against the impending events.

"Professor Tang is being modest," Director Chang said with a smile, not elaborating further.

Professor Tang then looked towards Dai Wenqian, "I remember you often followed Chief Song. Has he returned to the headquarters yet?"

Dai Wenqian’s expression did not look good, but it was Director Chang who answered for him, "Old Song is currently recuperating at home. Do you need him for something?"

"He had asked me to conduct a psychological evaluation for his subordinates’ players last time; I haven’t had the chance to deliver it." Professor Tang took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over, "Director Chang, please pass it on for me, since Chief Wu and Chief Song don’t get along well."

After saying his piece, he left. Director Chang flipped open a corner of the document and quickly covered it again, then said to Dai Wenqian, "Old Song is probably out this time. Not only can’t he stay in the main office, but he might also end up in jail. Warn your subordinates not to stir up trouble during this sensitive period."

Dai Wenqian had seen his name at the top of the document, but facing the ever-smiling Director Chang, he restrained his emotions and agreed to do as instructed.

After parting ways with Director Chang, he quickly drove away from the Special Defense Department, took out another phone, and dialed an old friend’s number.

"What do you want?" Gu Yu’s tone was unfriendly.

"We were friends once, after all," Dai Wenqian said with a laugh, "You don’t need to speak to me as if collecting a debt."

Gu Yu snorted coldly, "Aren’t you progressing well in the Special Defense Department? Still remember an old friend? Bastard!"

The smile vanished quickly from Dai Wenqian’s face, and his tone turned cold as well, "Cut the crap, I want to make a deal with you."
