Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Special Defense Department Takes Action

Zheng Liang nonchalantly raised his thumb. "If you can’t solve the problem, just solve the person who creates the problem. Younger Sister Li Chun is awesome!"

Even the slowest ones among the crowd realized that Li Chun was not just some distant relative of Xu Huo, and their attention quickly shifted back to Xu Huo.

Xu Huo was comparing the maps with the drone-uploaded video. He didn’t react much to the Girl in the Painting’s words and without looking up, he said, "Wouldn’t that be too troublesome? With so many clauses, are you planning to go and kill them all one by one?"

The Girl in the Painting immediately shook her head. "No, I want to play games."

"You won’t encounter that many problems just by working," said Xu Huo. "And if you do, you can handle them the same way you handled the hotel people."

The Girl in the Painting was not very interested in the dense text, so when she heard him say that, she was delighted. "Then I’m off to work. If I earn money, I’ll give you some spending cash too."

After saying this, she waved her hand at Gu Yu and others and walked away cheerfully.

Gu Yu was full of concern. "She won’t be taken advantage of going out like that, will she?"

"With the way she’s ready to take down state offices, she’ll not be at a disadvantage," Zheng Liang called out to her. "Gu Yu, wasn’t there a small river around here before?"

The people in the room continued to dive back into their preparations.

Meanwhile, in a specially constructed prison at the Special Defense Department Headquarters, Abel was lying on his bed out of sheer boredom, chewing gum and gazing at the sky outside the window.

It got dark early in the winter, and the light in the room quickly dimmed. Without turning on the lights, shadows began to grow larger.

After a few more minutes, the darkness in the corner began to solidify, and a silhouette slowly stood up, as if shrouded in a sheet. After the sheet was pulled away, human outlines began to form. Once stable, the face and hands of the figure gradually emerged from the darkness, revealing a distinctly featured foreigner.

The whole process took nearly three minutes. Only when the person was fully standing in the room did Abel sit up and complain, "Why did you come so late? Nie Xuan is inhuman. He threw me in here without even letting me brush my teeth, which is why I could only chew gum."

The man dressed in black in the corner looked left and right with blue eyes and asked in a foreign language, "There aren’t many people here?"

Abel shrugged. "Do you think the folks at the Special Defense Department are just twiddling their thumbs? Nie Xuan was about to release me when he got wind of the information you guys deliberately leaked. He definitely wouldn’t let me go somewhere crowded. It’s a wonder they even brought me to Jing City en route."

"This new prison only has about a dozen people. The Special Defense Department is preparing for war, and the guards hardly come by. You’ve miscalculated."

The Special Defense Department had built several new prisons near its headquarters specifically for detaining players. Although players were not easy to incarcerate, those without tickets were another story. Some players who committed crimes had to stay in prison until they were automatically transported to a random instance before the end of March.

Prison number one had the most players, but Abel was brought to number five, which was practically empty.

"It’s said that prison number one holds up to a hundred players." He handed a piece of paper to the man in black. "There’s a player’s hair in it. Would you believe it, the guy was about to be transferred to prison number one when I got here. It took some effort to find it in his room."

The mood of the man in black eased somewhat. "The state will not forget your contribution."

Abel spun the cross in his hand. "Even if they forget, it’s fine. Just don’t use my family’s lives to pressure me into doing things."

"That’s what you’re supposed to do," the man in black said as he raised his hand, and the lock on Abel’s cell door automatically unlocked. "For the next ten minutes, none of the doors in this prison can be closed. You have completed the task I gave you and duly deserve your freedom."

"However, since you have been disloyal to the state, you must be punished."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red teddy bear suddenly appeared in the room and silently lunged at Abel.

Abel intended to dodge, but the bear suddenly grew to fill the entire room, and with no room to escape, he could only run towards the door, only to find the man in black already blocking his way, "You have faith; you should know that only by finding peace within can you return to God’s embrace."

Abel came to an abrupt halt in front of him, then the teddy bear stuck to his back. As soon as it touched him, it shrank down to its original size, but not before searing a human head-sized scar into his flesh!

The hissing sound and the smell of burning flesh echoed through the room as Abel fell to his knees, drenched in cold sweat. When he looked up, the man in black and the teddy bear had disappeared. His back was almost completely burnt, leaving bones exposed.

After gulping down a few bottles of Self-Healing Potion, Abel sat slumped, trying to catch his breath. Then he gritted his teeth and broke the cross in his hand, chuckled, and only when he heard chaos starting outside did he lean on the wall to leave.

As Abel was leaving his cell, Nie Xuan received the news too. He contacted the Special Defense Department members distributed in four other prisons through an encrypted channel, "Follow the previous deployment. Focus on Number One. Kill on sight, whether someone enters or something happens within the prison. Keep no prisoners."

"Yes, Chief Nie!"

"You are really ruthless. Seems like you’ve wanted to deal with those players in Prison One for a while but were hampered by orders from above and took this opportunity," Director Lü said from behind: "I’m old, my mettle, and courage can’t compare to you youngsters."

Nie Xuan’s face remained expressionless, "Having the courage to cooperate with me, doesn’t that count as bold, Director Lü? Others may not see it, but those who control the narrative in the future will undoubtedly be players. There will be a purge after the power shifts. The fewer dangerous players there are, the fewer people will be affected in the future."

Director Lü had the characteristic tolerance of an elder woman, and said patiently, "Even if you don’t act, in less than three months, they’ll be transferred into random copies. Some of the targets requiring particular attention have already been specially handled, they won’t pose a threat to Zone 014."

Nie Xuan cut her off firmly, "Their very existence is a threat."

Is it certain that the death rate in a high-risk random copy is one hundred percent? Not necessarily.

Even so, after being forcefully detained and delayed from entering random copies, these people will loathe the Special Defense Department to the bone. There are players from other zones in the random copies; any potential threat must be eliminated!

"I really appreciate you, for your resoluteness and skills," Director Lü said with a smile, "That’s also why I strongly recommended you to be the new chief."

Nie Xuan stood up, "The first battle has begun; I’m going to take command on site."

Director Lü nodded, "I’ll keep watch here. Message me if there’s any issue."

Xu Huo had not expected the chaos to start so quickly; it began with a massive explosion in a vacated apartment building near the Special Defense Department Headquarters. Then, drones captured images of a fire blazing within a specially equipped prison, accompanied by continuous gunfire. Following that, the Special Defense Department’s external agents quickly mobilized, skillfully capturing several players gathered at various locations while conducting rescues.

The Special Defense Department acted swiftly, and inevitably, a few unlucky ones didn’t escape. The process of their capture was unsightly, and when shared online, it immediately sparked an uproar!
