Chapter 963: Chapter 963 I Want to See the Mayor

"If you want me to shut up, just keep talking," Gao Xiaoyan’s attitude was far from warm compared to before they reached the training base.

"You play crossing-the-river-and-demolishing-the-bridge quite well." Xu Huo didn’t care about her threat, but instead said, "What if I told you that I planted a timed bomb inside Ren Man’s spiritual world? With this device, not only would he stop evolving, he would even collapse due to repeated use of his psychic power..."

Watching the numbers above the heads of the people in the car rapidly change, he continued, "Would you change your mind?"

Gao Xiaoyan paused for a moment, frowning at him, "Are you playing me?"

Leaning back in his seat, Xu Huo relaxed, "You can take a gamble that what I said might just be a lie made up on the spot."

Gao Xiaoyan’s expression darkened slightly, relying solely on her naked eye, she couldn’t discern the true emotions of the man in front of her, or perhaps the expressions and gestures she could discern were still his deliberate performance.

The man sitting next to Xu Huo stuck a Smiley Face sticker on him and then asked, "You’re lying, just making up an excuse to buy time for an escape."

"If you say so." Xu Huo’s tone was somewhat perfunctory. Seeing that the smile on the sticker remained unchanged, he paused and changed his rhetoric, "But I indeed did something to Ren Man."

The man pocketed his prop then turned to Gao Xiaoyan, "Props are useless against him."

Gao Xiaoyan was a very practical person who straightforwardly said, "You let go of Ren Man, and I’ll let you go."

"You still don’t understand my point." Xu Huo smiled, "I can leave whenever I want. I’m just a very curious person. You can ask Teacher Ai if you don’t believe me."

Luo Changren, weak and beaten, sat next to him and asked the question everyone present wanted to ask, "What does all this have to do with you?"

"Haven’t I told you already?" Xu Huo replied.

Luo Changren was stunned for a moment, recalling a conversation that was half-genuine and half-fake two hours earlier. He had thought it was just an excuse; after all, a dungeon player in a game sector, especially a dungeon that uses the whole site as a dungeon venue, rarely returns a second time. Would a dungeon player be responsible for the aftermath impacts of the dungeon area?

No one would believe that, and even with a one-in-ten-thousand chance of someone with good intentions, there wasn’t enough spare time to bother with the troubles of the dungeon site!

When Luo Changren was a player, he had the same thought and belief, and he was also a doctor for several years.

It’s hard for everyone who lives in the world to survive. Why do you have the right to pity and save others?

Mere mortals, all suffering beings.

Who would have thought someone actually did it, and endeavored for it?

Luo Changren’s expression of shock gradually turned into deep thought, mixed with shame. Compared to him, who had destroyed a third of the base station for his own selfish reasons, Xu Huo’s actions could be deemed saintly.

After learning his identity, Xu Huo had lost the compassionate heart to care for the weak and vulnerable. He said to Gao Xiaoyan, "Teacher Ai and your mayor are old friends. After a long separation, I believe Mayor Gao would still be willing to meet a friend."

Gao Xiaoyan didn’t want to agree directly, but before she could state her conditions, she got interrupted. The man sitting across from her said coldly, "Do two things in exchange for W37’s compliance with the agreement. If you refuse, we have nothing further to discuss."

After a brief standoff, Gao Xiaoyan was the first to back down, "I’ll contact the mayor when we arrive at the government hall. Whether she meets you or not is up to her."

As she spoke, she suddenly rose to grab Xu Huo’s collar and slammed him against the car window, "If anything happens to Ren Man, I’ll hunt you down across the gaming world!"

From her standing up to grabbing him, Xu Huo didn’t make any unnecessary movement. Only when she was furiously staring at him did he calmly state, "Do you really think you can catch a player in the gaming world?"

"Such threats only reveal your lack of confidence."

Brushing her hand aside, he nodded towards the back seat with his chin, "Sit down."

Gao Xiaoyan suppressed her anger, gave him a cold glance, and then sat back down with a slap of her hands.

The car continued through the streets of Base W37 City. Through the windows, they could occasionally see people screaming for help. Houses were burning in clusters, and the efforts of the Law Enforcement Team seemed futile. Individuals with clear signs of infection were running through the streets, and the whole city seemed to be gradually turning into hell.

Gao Xiaoyan and the others watched in silence, especially when they saw people crossing players to rush at the car, shouting for the mayor to save them. Their faces mirrored a profound solemnity.

"A human inferno..." Luo Changren looked at Gao Xiaoyan with tearful eyes, "Gao Zhen, who led W37 to this day, has changed. This base station has no hope left..."

No one heeded the words of this weak man, and no one even glanced at him.

With the Law Enforcement Team clearing the way, the car soon arrived at the Canopy Pillar. The chaos near the laboratory was basically stabilized, and the crowds had dispersed, allowing their group to arrive at the government hall of the base unimpeded—a building of only four stories but standing alone on the edge of a Canopy Pillar, overlooking the city from above.

Xu Huo, Luo Changren, and the escorted Shangguan Xi, Kuang Wenjun, and Pan Qiao all entered the waiting hall on the first floor. Also present was Zhao Jie, his face bruised and swollen.

The resentful look in his eyes seemed almost tangible, piercing Xu Huo’s face. Xu Huo turned around and greeted him, "What a coincidence."

If Zhao Jie had not been held down, he would have lunged at him, staring bitterly at Xu Huo, "Why did you impersonate me? Why did you impersonate me!"

Not to mention being suddenly attacked by a bunch of Law Enforcement Team players, Duck Tongue Cap had even beaten him up after realizing they had caught the wrong person!

He never imagined having such a frustrating day as a player, getting beaten up before he could even do anything!

"Are you the only one who can wear a clown costume?" Xu Huo replied nonchalantly, "Blame the Law Enforcement Team for poor vision. They mistook you for me. My clown costume is quite different from yours."

Zhao Jie yelled in anger until Duck Tongue Cap pressed his head into the chair to calm him down, then Duck Tongue Cap got up and walked directly toward Xu Huo.

The man who had been following Xu Huo since they got in the car and seemed to be a Rank-A Player raised his hand to stop him, "He is now Miss Gao’s guest. The mayor might see him."

Duck Tongue Cap looked up, stunned, "Why would the mayor want to see him? He’s caused such great loss to W37. Who knows how long it will take to clean up the R1 Laboratory, and the virus in the quarantine area might even have been brought in by him..."

"Zhao Jie!" The man interrupted him, "The man has been captured. If he is guilty, the mayor will judge. You shouldn’t question the mayor’s decision."
