Spring City Mystery 5
The atmosphere in the office was a little stagnant. Li Heng followed Mu Ning here this time in order to supervise each other and not leak the information of Brother Nanyu and Brother Mo Fan.
Who knew that when the two walked into the office, they found a lot of people, all of whom were players.
Li Heng whispered, "It seems that the matter of Quancheng is no longer a secret. After the fog in several cities that were previously shrouded in fog dissipated, the safety level is now an extremely high green safety level, or even higher. The authorities have arranged to withdraw, and in the places where the fog dissipated, there is no more fog."
Mu Ning glanced at Yan Ke, then looked at the anxious expressions of the other players in the office.
"Do you know what they are here for?"
At this time, the person in front suddenly turned around and said, "Captain Mu Ning, it's you. Have you heard that the fog in Quancheng disappeared? Before it disappeared, many people turned into tentacle monsters. It's not like the previous cities invaded by fog, where those people turned into monsters."
Mu Ning raised his head and said, "So you all came here to talk about this matter."
The person in front nodded: "My family is from Quancheng. Although my parents left Quancheng, some relatives did not leave. My family is quite anxious. Now the fog in Quancheng has dissipated, plus the short video has gone viral, I guess everyone in the country knows about it."
Li Heng stepped forward and opened his phone and said, "It's this video."
In the video, a family was watching the fog appear. Someone among them was broadcasting live. At this time, the mobile phone was still on the stand, playing the whole process of how the family mutated into tentacle monsters when the fog spread, and how these monsters lost their lives when the fog dissipated.
Until the live broadcast phone ran out of battery and the screen went black.
It seems that what happened in Quancheng happened earlier than Yan Ke knew, but it takes time for the short video to ferment, and it just happened to explode at this time, causing a huge stir on the Internet.
"Are they all about this?" Mu Ning asked Li Heng.
Li Heng replied: "It's probably this matter, and the fact that the safety index of the city where the fog has dissipated has increased. The number of players seems to have increased. Now there are several Internet celebrities who claim to be players. I don't know what the official intention is. It hasn't been banned yet, but the discussion on the Internet is particularly intense."
"Then how did you deal with the matter before we left?" Mu Ning was asking about the matter where some players privately promoted the gods that appeared in the weird game copy, and even founded sects for him. Whether on the Internet or in real life, those churches developed rapidly, and even formed a considerable force. Official personnel were maintaining the evacuation and stability of various cities, so that when they discovered it, these sects already had their own organizations and even openly challenged the authorities.
Even the official leadership openly supported these suddenly emerging religious forces during meetings.
Deities like the Buddha Mother, Wenchang Jun, and Shura all have their own religious beliefs, especially Shura. Now in real life, more and more people believe in Shura. Some people even re-compiled the traditional mythological history for this purpose. Shura even occupies the main position of the god in charge of darkness.
In the memories of Mu Ning and Li Heng, the first time they saw the Shura statue was in a copy of the Colosseum called Yinhu Yinhu. The towering Shura statue is still fresh in their memory. Captain Qu Cheng also died in that copy. They didn’t even know who the young man who told the story was.
Li Heng shook his head. "We are obviously short of manpower right now. Plus, the nature of the fog has changed. So many people have turned into monsters in the fog. This is enough for the authorities to handle. Now the plan can't keep up with the changes. The official central government has been holding meetings, but because of a one-day delay, countless people will die in the fog."
"The incident in Quancheng before was about someone live-broadcasting a self-sacrifice, saying that it could gain the mercy of the gods and be liberated. What an idiotic statement, but it has been popular on the Internet." The person who spoke was the boy in front of Mu Ning. Mu Ning didn't know his name, but she had seen him before. He was in the same group with Li Heng during training.
"Mu Ning, this is Lai Junjie, one of the top ten soldiers in the country. He looks young, but he is actually the same age as me."
Lai Junjie patted Li Heng on the head and said, "You are still a sharpshooter, but now you don't always hold your gun and call your wife."
Mu Ning remembered that this person Qu Cheng wanted to join the special team before, but was intercepted by another action team. Unexpectedly, he also became a player.
"How many levels have you passed?" Mu Ning asked directly.
"Two levels, but I was lucky. I didn't encounter the dangers described in the official dungeon. Some people go in and out for unknown reasons. And the players I encountered twice came back without any casualties. But there were no prizes. Unlike Li Heng, I also read his book. He is so awesome."
Mu Ning smiled but said nothing, because she also had a book, but that book was too special. Even though she took it out for the sake of the overall situation and showed it to her leader, the leader said, "This book is not very useful. You should study it yourself first."
Mu Ning took the book back. It was not like Li Heng's books were everywhere now. But he remembered that the last time he entered the dungeon, Li Heng bought a book in addition to the talismans. It seemed to be an advanced version of his book. Now he hides it like a treasure and doesn't show it to anyone. He also said that he would show it to others after he has practiced it well. But Mu Ning heard his leader tell him that Li Heng had brought the book back, and that advanced books were more suitable for Li Heng and not suitable for promotion. Therefore, the leader did not take Li Heng's book.
In Mu Ning's opinion, the leader intends to cultivate Li Heng. Li Heng is a little young now and does not have enough experience. Qu Cheng's death is a loss for them, but the growth of Li Heng, Mu Ning and others is indeed a surprise.
Because the copy the two experienced was a clearance copy, the information they obtained from the copy was of enormous value.
So far, a total of five copies have been cleared. According to satellite monitoring, sixty areas of fog have disappeared across the country, but there are still eighty-four areas where fog has not disappeared. Among them, thirty-six areas of fog have spread, and the range of spread has increased a lot. Now satellite dynamics have become an important part of the people across the country to monitor the safety index of their hometowns.
Li Heng said, "You are lucky. Mu Ning and I were always in danger of death. We were most worried about dying in the dungeon. But you are so lucky. You act like you are on a trip. Tell me, do you have anything to do with that weird game?"
The three of them were joking at the back. The leader glanced at everyone. There were more and more things happening now. The emergence of the fog had already brought huge survival pressure to the country. Now all foreign countries were shrouded in fog. Now they were like living on an isolated island, with danger and crisis everywhere.
He stroked his forehead and said, "I understand. You guys go out first and write me a report about what happened in the dungeon. Li Heng and Mu Ning stay behind, and the rest of you go out."
The three people who were chatting were stopped by someone at this time: "Li Heng and Mu Ning, you two stay here. Lai Junjie, there is nothing for you to do, come with us."
Before leaving, Lai Junjie said, "Okay, I'll go first. It seems that everyone has reported similar things."
Li Heng nodded and Mu Ning waved goodbye. Lai Junjie was a really talkative person.
After everyone left, the leader suddenly said, "Li Heng, you said before that your game panel showed that the dungeon you entered yesterday was cleared. Can you tell me more about your dungeon and whether you encountered any statues or anything like that?"
"Leader, we don't know what happened, but it is indeed displayed like that. And this time we are talking about the matter of Quancheng. The matter of Quancheng seems to be related to the matter of the whole network sacrifice that appeared on the Internet before. We have found some clues." Li Heng sighed: "There is no statue, but there is a magic circle and a strange dragon."
Mu Ning stepped forward and said, "There is a very famous temple in Quancheng, which happens to enshrine the statue of the god that appeared most frequently in the incident we investigated before."
The leader said, "Now it is even more rampant. When one video is banned, more videos will pop up. Before the fog appeared, everyone was an atheist. Because of the fog and the weird games, there are more theists, not to mention some gods that are not recorded in books. The Buddha Mother is okay, Wenchang Jun is not bad, but that Shura is obviously not a good god. Many believers are behaving very crazy. The most difficult thing now is that the appearance of the fog has caused too many casualties. Most of the people who died in the weird games are young people. There are not many people now. Even if we find people first, we still have to train them."
Mu Ning nodded: "We understand, leader, in fact, this is all we have. As for clearing the game, it was all just luck. We are now learning more and more about weird games, and the survival rate of players is increasing. This is a good thing for us."
Li Heng also nodded.
The leader replied: "Okay, if you have any questions, please write them in detail and send them to me. I will organize the information for the meeting."
Mu Ning and Li Heng both nodded.
After saying that, they left the office together.
Li Heng said: "Okay, now that the leaders know about it, they will prevent the tragedy in Quancheng from happening again."
"I hope so." Mu Ning said before leaving.
Since Qu Cheng's sacrifice, the two have become new partners and can trust each other 100% in the weird game. They trust Nan Yu and Yan Ke because they know how powerful they are, especially someone as powerful yet humble as Yan Ke, who has gained their trust and even replaced Qu Cheng.
Although Mu Ning and Li Heng knew that such trust would make them extremely passive in their choices when facing danger in the weird game, they still chose to believe Yan Ke. Yan Ke, who faced Qu Cheng's death and gently gave the corpse the final dignity and covered it with a white cloth even though he didn't know him, was really worthy of their gradually opening their hearts and trusting him.
