Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 630: Secret

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Secret

"You’re from Jing City, having never left, much less traveled abroad. The foreign name you mentioned is just a nickname you picked up from a game," Xu Huo put down the mirror and picked up the medical record, "I know you’re very fond of life abroad, fervently praising it on social media more than once and expressing a desire to settle there. You even wanted your parents to sell the house to support your move abroad."

"However, your family isn’t well-off, and your parents were seriously ill. After they opposed your idea to sell the house, you killed them. Their bodies weren’t found until the new owners dug them out of the walls during renovation."

After saying all this, Xu Huo paused and asked him, "Do you remember any of this?"

David Pierce’s eyes were vacant; after trying hard to remember and then falling into pain, his expression contorted as he said, "I don’t know... I don’t know... "

Xu Huo sighed, "When you were arrested, you claimed you had taken on a mission and had no choice but to kill your parents. In your eyes, they had become landlords who accidentally discovered you meeting with spies."

David Pierce’s expression kept changing, gradually seeming to accept this fact. He heaved and let out a painful howl, "I didn’t want to kill them... It wasn’t intentional!"

Of course, the words of Xu Huo were completely fabricated, but Pierce followed along with his story, rambling about his own "false" past.

From his account, Xu Huo gained some understanding of the underground organization hidden in Jing City.

In a nutshell, these people were originally dormant spies. After the Evolver event erupted, their mission changed—they had to change because, since the establishment of the Special Defense Department, strict control had been enforced on people from abroad who became players, regardless of whether they had gained citizenship. Many were expelled from the country, and those who stayed were closely monitored.

Recently, due to international situation changes, the Special Defense Department passed a proposal: to deport all foreign nationals except those with exceptional contributions, with their family and friends also required to relocate to other provinces.

Perhaps thinking it was their last chance, this group took the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Two objectives: one was to obtain the Antidote Fungus. However, this mission had already failed because a leak from the inside allowed their players to enter the laboratory through special means but got ambushed and killed by the members of the Special Defense Department waiting in ambush—not a single one survived.

The second objective was to assassinate senior officials, and this mission was half-failed. Their personnel were caught right at the beginning of their infiltration. Far from killing anyone, they didn’t even get close to touching their clothes, which is why they threw all their remaining forces into the chaos near the headquarters.

Kill several top officials of the Special Defense Department, use the random dungeons to kill elite players, take advantage of the opportunity to instigate conflict between the Special Defense Department and ordinary players, plunging the country into war like abroad... In short, nobody should expect peace. If most areas in Zone 014 are in strife, why should Country X be an exception?

Xu Huo, after listening, found it ridiculous. Such actions had completely lost their political significance and seemed more like acts of vengeance. From any angle, Country X’s defense of its territory and the establishment of a safe zone was a good thing for the world.

But that wasn’t the most important thing. David Pierce revealed a key piece of information: other countries in Zone 014 had also seen the emergence of prop trading shops, and Country Y had found a massive deposit of minerals in the newly formed resource zone and had already made trades. The reason the few dungeon entrances could be brought in was that they utilized the power of props.

Xu Huo pressed on for information about the purchased props, but David Pierce was unsure of the specifics.

Unable to pry more information from him, Xu Huo went to the next room to find the middle-aged man leading the group.

"Bentley Abe," Xu Huo called his name, "Do you remember your past?"

Bentley was in better mental shape than any of his subordinates. Staring at Xu Huo, he said, "You’re not a real doctor."

Xu Huo glanced up at him, "I am the director of the Seventeenth Hospital."

"Director?" Bentley chuckled, "This is a fake hospital; there is no director. You’re the holder of this dungeon."

"You’re smart," Xu Huo said, sitting back down, his tone playful, "But what does it matter? You can’t leave here alive."

"I understand the structure of dungeons," Bentley, thinking he had a glimmer of hope, said, "If the dungeon boss is a person, then there’s some flexibility in the dungeon. If the player can clear it sometimes depends on the mood of the holder!"

Xu Huo tapped on a surgery table next to him, and a set of tea service appeared on top. He began washing teacups, "I do have that authority, but why should I let you go?"

"I can give you everything you want, White Notes, props, potions, or women, even power, if you’re willing to work for my country..."

Before he could finish, his plea was cut off by a scream; his left leg was severed at the knee!

After enjoying his scream, Xu Huo nodded and said, "Think before you speak."

Bentley bit back his hatred, enduring the pain and said, "My mistake, you are a Rank-A player. There’s nothing you desire that you cannot get. If you could grace my country with your presence, you would receive the highest standard of hospitality."

Xu Huo didn’t bite on this topic, clearly uninterested.

Bentley continued with several tempting offers, such as gifting Xu Huo the latest Rank A Prop obtained by Country Y and even providing two trade slots, with Country Y covering the expenses of his shopping at the prop shops.

Xu Huo remained indifferent. Not to mention that an underground operative like Bentley had no such authority, but even if he did, it was not likely Xu Huo would go, especially since Country Y had already traded minerals for props.

"Are you interested in Super Ore?" Bentley finally mentioned the ore.

"Continue," Xu Huo said, looking at him directly.

Bentley breathed a sigh of relief, stating his terms for the exchange. He dared not speak again of Xu Huo serving Country Y, but instead proposed trading a certain amount of ore for his freedom.

"This kind of ore is found in overlap zones. Current technology can only detect that it contains radioactive elements; its specific uses and hazards are not clear, so it’s used only for trading for now," Bentley said.

"If you need it, let one of my companions out. He can bring the ore to you."

"Location," Xu Huo said indifferently. "It’s no trouble for me to make a trip."

Bentley’s face twitched noticeably with hesitation, but upon seeing the change in Xu Huo’s expression, he rapidly gave away a coordinate.

After hearing it, Xu Huo chuckled, "You are very loyal to your country."

Immediately following those words, a Sword ended Bentley’s life.
