Chapter 1165: Chapter 526: Playing Possum_2

Of course, there was no need to spell it out.

"You hesitate for a moment, but shake your head, indicating that you need time to consider."

"Of course. Whenever you have made up your mind, I welcome you at any time," the Regent King confidently said, believing that you would ultimately make the wise decision.

After bidding farewell to the Regent King, you leave the mansion alone...

Although the text mentioned ’leaving alone’, Mu You suspected that the masked person was most certainly still following.

Mu You even doubted for a moment whether this masked person was the so-called ’Admin’, since the aim of the Admin was to observe the drama unfold, and naturally, it would be best to be able to do so at close quarters.

Being followed by this person, Mu You was unable to implement many actions. As it happened, the game world was lit by dawn, so he simply took his character to the assigned apartment to rest.

In reality, he took the opportunity to log off and catch up on some sleep back in his room.

When he woke up again, the sun was high in the sky.

Descending the stairs, Mu You saw that the pet shop was empty, with neither Little Ya, Lin Xue, nor the animals having returned, lacking the usual bustle.

Ling Long had not returned all night and was who knows where at the moment; in the shop, only the Medicinal Plant Gatherer and the Watchman clones were present.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer was still sitting at the same window-side table as before, head down, tapping on his phone, his actions nearly identical to the day before, leading Mu You to suspect he had been grinding away there for a whole day and night.

As for the Watchman, he was curled up on the couch with Cola, petting the cat while watching TV.

"Tsk, tsk, America really is brutal..."

Mu You approached just in time to hear the Watchman’s comment. Looking up, he saw an international news broadcast on television, with a pixelated body lying in the streets of a city in America, obviously having met a gruesome end.

"This is too cruel, I can’t watch this with my kind heart, let’s change the channel... Hm, Little Eight, do you want to watch ’The Anaconda Disaster’ first, or the story of Fahai and the White Snake?" the Watchman said, fiddling with the remote control.

"Can you shut up? I only want to rest right now!" Gusha’s irritable voice rang inside the Watchman’s mind.

"Hey wait, don’t change the channel..." Mu You suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? The main body, you’re awake!" the Watchman turned around and then saw Mu You.

Mu You, however, was intently focused on the news on television, his expression growing increasingly serious.

At the moment, the report was about the sudden appearance of a young boy’s body on the streets of an American city, mutilated as if mauled by some beast, causing quite a stir locally. The police had cordoned off the scene and were investigating.

This news made Mu You suddenly remember the Admin’s message from yesterday about how ’you will see his body on the news tomorrow.’

Could this body be that of the young boy from the game last night?

With the heavy pixelation on TV and the incident not being a major affair, meriting only a brief broadcast, Mu You didn’t have enough time to discern the details.

After thinking it over, he decided to take a look at the scene personally.

As for having to fly to the other side of Earth, it was not difficult; Mu You had previously set up Teleportation Arrays beneath all the Black Holes, and the crime scene wasn’t too far from the Black Hole on the American side.

Mu You then teleported directly to America, claiming the identity of the Ghost Captain, and he explained his request to see the body to the local authorities.

Clearly, the American side took heightened interest. How could they not? He was the world’s top player, already the center of attention for his every move, and now suddenly appearing on someone else’s turf to view a body was quite peculiar.

After Mu You explained the situation, the major powers in America sprang into action, waiving all formalities and arranging for many to ’accompany’ him to the city of the incident.

Two hours later, Mu You finally arrived at the city, seeing the young boy’s body in a morgue not far from the crime scene.

"Your Excellency, this is the deceased. When he was found, he was hanging at the top of a Bell Tower, and because it was dark at the time, it took a while for someone to notice. We received the call and immediately secured the scene..." the police chief cautiously explained to Mu You.

"Has this person’s identity been confirmed?" Mu You frowned as he looked at the body lying before him.

The body indeed belonged to a young boy, eyes wide with horror, and the two gashes on his chest looked like they had been savagely torn open by a Vampire’s fangs.

No matter how he looked at it, the condition of the body was exactly like that of the young boy’s death in the game the previous night.

"It has been confirmed. He’s a local child who went missing several years ago. The case was investigated at the time, but unfortunately, there were no results, and it was ultimately left unresolved. We never expected him to suddenly show up today..."

The police chief continued, unable to help glancing at the local dignitaries following behind, then turned to Mu You, cautiously speaking, "Your Excellency, could it be that you know this child?"

"Oh, I don’t know him. I just happened to see the news and thought the case was quite strange, so I came to have a look," Mu You casually explained.

"Er..." Those present exchanged looks. That excuse seemed rather thin—who would travel halfway around the Earth just to see the body of someone they didn’t know?

"That’s enough; I’ve troubled you all. Please, take care of the deceased."
