Chapter 282 Images, Clues, and White Cloud Star



Yu Xiangnan immediately teleported to the public map [Library].

When she arrived, Ji Fu was already waiting at the library entrance. Upon seeing her, he led her into the library and took the elevator.

As usual, the library was almost deserted except for them; there was hardly a single player in sight.

In the elevator, Ji Fu gestured for Yu Xiangnan to use the silver card he had given him earlier to swipe the elevator card.

With a soft "beep," the elevator doors slowly closed. Yu Xiangnan noticed that the original elevator buttons did not have markings for the first and second basement levels, but after swiping his card, the elevator automatically descended to the first basement level.

To modify a public map directly—that's quite a significant undertaking...

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a gust of cold air rushed in from underground. The scene before me was full of high-tech feel, with a long corridor winding forward and many rooms distributed on both sides.

Yu Xiangnan followed behind Ji Fu and soon saw Conference Room 1 and Conference Room 2 on both sides. In addition, there were armories, prop warehouses, document warehouses, archives, and other functional areas.

"As you can see, the function of each room is clearly marked, so I won't take you inside to tour them one by one. The most urgent thing is to resolve the matter of Aunt and the diamond-shaped crystal as soon as possible."

As Ji Fu spoke, he pulled out a silver card similar to the one in Yu Xiangnan's hand from his card album and swiped it to open the door of one of the conference rooms.

Upon entering the conference room, one finds it very clean and tidy, with several potted plants in the corner, a huge projection screen in front, a long conference table in the center of the room, and many chairs neatly arranged around it.

Ji Fu took out the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment (Northeast Position)] from the card album, as well as the rhombus-shaped crystal that Ying Xiao mentioned.

The light shone down, falling on the rhombus-shaped crystal in Ji Fu's hand.

The crystal disassembles and reassembles the monotonous white light, refracting it into a dreamlike array of seven colors. The light dances and intertwines all around.

This seemingly ordinary crystal appears to be a device for storing images.

Ji Fu looked at the crystal and said in a low voice, "My aunt has always hidden things very well, so the players on that ruined star have never found them."

"If there are no problems, I'll smash it."

Yu Xiangnan was taken aback, then nodded.

With a sharp crack, the rhombus-shaped crystal suddenly shattered.

In an instant, a clear image appeared before the two of them without warning.

The scene is presented from a first-person perspective, and what comes into view is a graceful woman. She has a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, wears a cheongsam, and gently waves a round fan in her hand.

She parted her lips slightly and asked, "Fan Ye, how did things go?"

A fake laugh immediately followed.

"Everything is progressing smoothly so far. Judging from the current situation, it should not be long before we successfully find the Dragon Mu Totem fragments."

"Hmm." The woman nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and said to herself, "I wonder for some reason why that guy Dongli Guangji hates Yu Xiangnan so much that he's trying to use a special device to forcibly teleport to Blue Star to assassinate her..."

After saying that, she gently shook her head and added, "Fortunately, this has no impact on our plans."

"It is now confirmed that there is at least one fragment of the Dragon Totem scattered across Blue Star. But as long as these fragments cannot be gathered together, they will not cause any significant disturbances."

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan," Jia Yingxiao quickly replied, but a moment later, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. "But..."

The woman seemed to have guessed what the fake Yingxiao was going to say and interrupted her.

"Don't worry, with me here, Baiyun Star will never become like District 37!"

The woman's tone was firm.

After a long silence, Jia Yingxiao finally fell silent.

......

The video ends here.

Yu Xiangnan and Ji Fu looked puzzled, trying to find more clues.

This video contains several key points: First, the fake Ying Xiao's real name is "Fan Ye"; second, the woman in the video and "Fan Ye" share the same goal—to find the Dragon Mu Totem fragments, confirming the previous guess; third, the line "Baiyun Star will never become District 37"...

Yu Xiangnan had thoroughly studied the "Planet Guide" and knew the names of all the planets by heart, but he had never seen the words "White Cloud Star".

Moreover, this planet is not even listed in the teleportation list.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Yu Xiangnan.

It's now confirmed that Fan Ye, who parasitized Ying Xiao using the [Insect Nail], is a player from the Ruins Star. Judging from the interaction between Fan Ye and the strange woman in the video, they are most likely from the same planet, meaning they are both players from the Ruins Star.

So, White Cloud Star... could it be the former name of Ruins Star?

Ji Fu looked at her and asked, "Dongli Guangji, do you know this person?"

Yu Xiangnan was slightly taken aback, then quickly replied, "I was assassinated by a mysterious person in a survival instance before. The person was wearing an eagle mask, so I couldn't see their face, but they were extremely powerful. I almost lost my life on the spot. Fortunately, the time limit was reached, and the person was forcibly teleported away, which saved my life."

"I don't know the exact time of this video, but the person who assassinated me is most likely Higashiri Mitsuki."

Ji Fu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well... no matter what, Auntie left this prop because she wanted to give us some clues. I've already recorded the footage from earlier, I'll analyze it carefully when we get back."

“Okay,” Yu Xiangnan said. “I can provide you with some more clues to see if they match up.”

In revealing information to Ji Fu, striking the right balance is crucial.

What should be said and what shouldn't be said not only concerns Ji Fu's and the entire special operations team's trust in her, but also whether this information can play a crucial role...

What needs to be done now is to find the enemy hiding in the shadows and work with the special operations team to lock onto the target.

Yu Xiangnan took a deep breath and continued to explain methodically: "Although I don't know why Dongli Guangji hates me so much, I am certain that the players of Ruins Star are doing their best to find the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]."

"The woman in the video just now mentioned Baiyun Star and District 37. I specifically searched for related information before. These areas named with numbers are all non-jurisdictional areas, that is, places that are outside the system's control."

"It is said that these places were originally public maps of a certain planet, but after all the players on that planet disappeared, the planet was completely abandoned and designated as a non-jurisdiction zone. In those places, without the constraints of system rules, everything is full of unknowns and dangers, and various forces are intertwined."
