The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

...

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 241 Everyone has their own pursuits

Sunflower: Give me some sunflower seeds.

Ground peanuts: Have some peanuts

The rooster perks up: Give me some chicken feet!

Sprite: Give me some Coke.

My ID is private and I can't disclose it :(kneeling.jpg)

I won't die, will I? No way! This incident resulted in heavy casualties. Songjiang District, the most prosperous area of ​​Songcheng, was almost destroyed. Nine members of the Heavenly Group were killed. What does the Special Operations Bureau plan to do with this person?

Empty Shell: I hope a fight breaks out!

It's probably not just one person: I hope a fight breaks out!

I was woken up by the cold: I hope a fight breaks out!

I have a lot of experience in this area [Gold]: I hope a fight breaks out! (This thread exploded, hundreds of people donated 1 game coin, then got penalized, went to the individual's profile, and were banned for three days. Another forum joke.)

He strained to open his eyes: He hoped a fight would break out!

While people on the forum were enjoying the drama, the highest conference room at the Special Operations Bureau headquarters was gloomy and oppressive.

"Everyone is aware of the situation, let's come up with a solution."

"What else can be done? A life for a life!"

"Using our tools, we can find him. If we plan it well, killing him won't be a problem. The key question is, is it worth it?"

"What's the point of whether it's worth it or not? Even if it means going bankrupt, we must make these players understand that, whether in the past or now, they must abide by the rules in China!"

"Whose family will be ruined? Whose property will be squandered? If you go yourself, I have no objection, but I will not allow the soldiers that the country has worked so hard to train to die!"

"If we don't go now, what are we supposed to do with our soldiers? Sell them merchandise, autographed photos, or hold concerts?"

"Okay, stop arguing."

"According to Zheng Qing and Zhang Ligong's report, it was the Holy Master who repeatedly provoked and even insulted Li Changzhou's sister and lover. There are precedents for this kind of thing to refer to - before the value game, a boyfriend beat up a thug who harassed his girlfriend, and a son killed a gangster who bullied his parents. These were all given light sentences or even acquitted."

“Those were ordinary people, these are players. Li Changzhou almost destroyed the entire Songjiang District and even killed nine members of the Heavenly Group! In the past, that would have been like killing a policeman!”

“I think we can strike a balance between everyone’s opinions. We can’t sacrifice the members of the Heavenly Group and kill Li Changzhou at all costs, but we can’t just let this matter pass like this either—defeat him and then make him apologize for this on the forum.”

The public generally found this approach acceptable.

"Chief," a virtual image popped up in the center of the conference table, "Zheng Qing has new intelligence to report!"

"Bring it up."

An identity card appeared in the center of the table.

"What is this?" someone asked impatiently, frowning.

The ID card is both important and unimportant.

While a player is alive, their identity card is more important than anything else. Once someone else gets their hands on it, the player becomes almost their slave—this is how players in some regions enslave other players.

When a player dies, the identity card only slightly increases purchasing privileges or can be sold for 10 game coins. This is a treasure for ordinary players, but it's insignificant in the eyes of the Special Operations Bureau.

"Look carefully!" someone reminded him, their voice low and incredulous.

"The Hungry Ghost Realm? Wasn't the Holy Master dead?!"

"Zi'an's overwhelming power!"

"How is this possible!"

After a moment of gasps, everyone fell silent.

The bureau chief said, "Have Zheng Qing come to see me."

A virtual image of Zheng Qing popped up in the center of the table, and she gave a salute.

"Zheng Qing, what's going on with your ID card?" someone immediately asked.

Zheng Qing took a breath and said, "It was given to me by Li Changzhou. He can steal other people's skills and also give skills to others."

Although everyone had already guessed it, receiving confirmation from someone in person still sent chills down everyone's spines.

This means so much!

“Director,” Zheng Qing said with a resolute expression, “Li Changzhou told me personally that his attitude toward the Special Operations Bureau is still to cooperate in the game and not do evil in reality.”

"If you don't do evil, look how many people he killed this time!"

"Director," the secretary suddenly spoke up, "Zhang Ligong requests to enter the meeting."

"Let him in."

Zhang Ligong's image also popped up next to Zheng Qing.

Just as Zheng Qing frowned, Zhang Ligong said:

"Director, I can vouch for Li Changzhou. At that time, it was the Holy Master, no, Liu Chong, who deliberately provoked and humiliated Li Changzhou repeatedly, and even verbally harassed the other party's female family members. Comrade Li Changzhou was forced to take action only when he could no longer tolerate it!"

Zheng Qing's eyes widened.

"Is that all you wanted to say? You've already written it in the report."

"Yes. But I'm worried that someone like Comrade Li Changzhou might be wronged. Besides, Comrade Li Changzhou is very capable and could be a powerful assistant to the Special Operations Bureau."

"Injustice?" those who supported killing Li Changzhou shouted angrily, "Now nine members of the Heavenly Group are dead!"

"But there were only nine, out of twelve who went." Zhang Ligong dared not offend the other party, but he was not afraid either.

He is a very high-ranking Saint Master who can be in charge of S-level positions.

"You mean not enough people have died?"

"No, what I mean is, Comrade Li Changzhou could have killed everyone, but he didn't."

Before the others could speak, Zhang Ligong continued:

"Director, these are extraordinary times, and extraordinary measures are needed. The country and its people need powerful players to protect them. Comrade Li Changzhou also has this idea, and we should do our best to win him over."

"Many years ago, a rural teacher founded Baotao. The merchants registered on Baotao were not legal at all. However, for the sake of economic development and the vast number of entrepreneurs, the government made all these stores legal with a single word, thus increasing employment opportunities."

"Zhang Ligong, have you even grasped the essence of the matter? That kid openly caused trouble in Songcheng and even killed members of the Heavenly Group!"
