Chapter 433: Bai Hecheng Appears

Chapter 433: Bai Hecheng Appears

It was quite evident that Shi Zixuan was threatening their group.

However, since their group didn’t "know" yet that Shi Zixuan was associated with the Cult of the Cadaver, Liu Xing could only smile and change the subject, saying, "It seems Lu Tianya and the others are having a good time, so there’s nothing for us to worry about. Miss Alice, let’s proceed to the next crime scene. But Miss Alice, you can now contact Chief Chris and have him send people to monitor QuarryBank Textile Factory. We can almost confirm that the missing foreign tourists entered the QuarryBank Textile Factory. If everything goes as expected, those foreign tourists are still being detained there."

Alice nodded, saying, "Yes, I have informed Chief Chris of the current situation. He will come over to investigate personally later. So let’s move on for now."

After Alice finished speaking, everyone got into their respective cars and headed to the next crime scene.

Once seated, Yis People couldn’t help but pound his fist on the steering wheel. "Shi Zixuan is too arrogant! Sending us a photo to provoke us! It’s like she doesn’t even care about us. Doesn’t she fear we might come trouble her right now?"

Zhang Jingxu furrowed his brows. "Since she dares to do this, it means she isn’t afraid of us troubling her. After all, we currently have no evidence linking her to the Cult of the Cadaver. Even if we find her, we can only deal with her with words."

Liu Xing nodded and said, "So what should we do now? Since Shi Zixuan already knows Lu Tianya’s itinerary, she should also know which hotel we are staying at. If they want to attack us in the hotel, it’s basically a piece of cake, as they can easily enter and exit the hotel with a room key."

Yis People pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Then let’s do this. I’ll talk to Chris later and ask him to arrange a place with higher security. We’ll move out of that hotel as soon as possible. I’ll also try to persuade Juri Sonoda to leave England with Nan Xiaoniao. Mr. Zhang Jingxu, you should also arrange for Lu Tianya to leave England."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head reluctantly and smiled wryly. "Although Lu Tianya’s strength is not as good as mine, it’s still pretty decent. Plus, our side is a bit short-handed for this module. So let’s have Lu Tianya stay and help us."

Yis People nodded and sighed, "Yes, the power gap between the NPCs of both sides in this module is quite large. On their side, there are at least a dozen mythical creatures, plus over a hundred fanatics, and probably an England high-ranking mole who can track our movements. On our side, we only have a potential mole in the local Manchester police force, an Occultist, an American pilot, and your apprentice who’s already been captured. It’s not a fair match at all."

"Speaking of which, Zhang Jingxu, what’s the true strength of your apprentice? After being captured by the Cult of the Cadaver, does she really have no ability to resist?" Ling Ishikawa asked curiously.

Zhang Jingxu thought for a moment and replied, "My apprentice’s hidden abilities should be quite good. Although she’s a genuine NPC, her parents were friends of my master. After my master adopted her, he treated her very well and gave her quite a few defensive items. So even if we don’t rescue her, she should have the ability to escape from the Cult of the Cadaver. Of course, the premise is that the players on the opposite side don’t notice her."

As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, his mobile phone rang.

Zhang Jingxu frowned because lately, whenever his mobile phone rang, it didn’t bring good news.

He checked his mobile phone and chuckled, "It seems our luck isn’t bad. Among the foreign tourists captured along with my apprentice, there are two members from the Chinese Daoist sect. They are like my apprentice, adept at communicating with spirits. Moreover, I’ve met those two Daoists before, and their strength should surpass mine. So if they team up with my apprentice, they should be able to easily escape from the Cult of the Cadaver."

Liu Xing nodded and said, "It looks like we have two more powerful allies. We can also temporarily ignore the case of the missing foreign tourists here. Even if Zhang Jingxu’s apprentice and her two companions manage to escape, they might be able to bring out the other foreign tourists as well."

However, Ling Ishikawa shook her head as she looked at her mobile phone. "That’s not necessarily true. I checked the case of the missing foreign tourists at QuarryBank Textile Factory. It happened a week ago. If Zhang Jingxu’s apprentice and her companions wanted to escape, they should have done so already. So I think they’re planning to continue lurking among the foreign tourists, investigating why the Cult of the Cadaver kidnapped them."

Because the Void Spirit, a mythical creature capable of making people disappear into thin air, was the most common and likely to appear in this module.

At this point, Alice took out a small bag from the car, from which she extracted some notebooks — police badges.

After distributing the police badges, Alice smiled and said, "These police badges are genuine, so you don’t need to worry about anyone questioning your identity. But before you leave England, you must return these badges to Chris."

After everyone took their police badges, they proceeded to the first alley.

Unlike the alleys at QuarryBank Textile Factory, the alleys in North Corner were not as deserted. People were frequently entering and exiting the alleys, most of them locals from North Corner.

Alice spoke in a low voice, "As you all know, getting drugs in England is very easy, and for these young artists in North Corner, drugs are like treasures that give them more artistic inspiration. So almost all the alleys in North Corner have individuals or shops selling drugs. The two alleys we’re going to are particularly notorious, known as ’Drug Alleys’ among the locals. Therefore, when we go in later, let’s try not to interact with anyone inside."

After Alice finished speaking, she led the way into the alley.

Although the alley could accommodate three people side by side, the drug dealers occupying one side of the alley forced Liu Xing and the others to proceed in a single-file line.

Once inside the alley, drug dealers continuously approached Liu Xing’s group to sell drugs. Liu Xing noticed that these drug dealers seemed to have handguns holstered at their waists.

At this moment, KP Li Shunchan spoke up, "Now, players can perform one Investigation Judgment or one Inspiration Judgment. After deciding which judgment to make, please contact me. However, the results of this judgment will be kept secret."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, realizing that there were indeed clues in this alley.

Because Liu Xing’s Inspiration attribute was relatively high, he naturally chose to perform an Inspiration Judgment.

"OK, the results of the judgments from all players are out. Please check your results," KP Li Shunchan said with a smile.

As soon as KP Li Shunchan finished speaking, Liu Xing felt a sense of enlightenment and couldn’t help but look up.

Then, Liu Xing saw someone staring intently at him and his group from the fourth-floor window to his right — someone familiar, a former teammate and enemy, Bai Hecheng!
