“Brother Nan, did you hear the gunshots yesterday?”
In the hotel, Su Nan was working as usual, and Liu Xutao whispered beside him.
“Gunshots?”
Su Nan’s heart moved, and he immediately understood that last night in reality, the official forces must have confronted the Destiny Society’s people in black again.
He pretended not to know anything and shook his head: “No, what happened yesterday?”
Liu Xutao looked around and, seeing no one nearby, spoke cautiously: “I don’t know exactly what happened, but I heard that more than a dozen officials were killed yesterday.”
“More than a dozen people died?”
Su Nan was secretly alarmed; this was no small matter.
Although the people in black had been looking for him and killed a few players, they had never been ruthless to the official personnel.
This could be seen from the fact that Old A broke into the Demon Investigation Bureau and didn’t kill Yang Zheng, but only injured him.
Now, the people in black have killed more than a dozen officials, are they going to completely break with the authorities?
And are the authorities merely trying to rescue the kidnapped Jiang Wen?
Su Nan had a vague guess, but he still played the role of a curious person and asked, “Do you know what caused it?”
Liu Xutao shook his head: “I don’t know how I’m supposed to know about this; I just saw it on the forum.”
As they spoke, Wang Chong walked over from a distance. Li Xutao immediately said, “Brother Wang may know what happened.”
“Brother Nan, what are you talking about?” Seeing Su Nan and Liu Xutao, Wang Chong came over and asked.
“Nothing, just heard that more than a dozen officials were killed last night.” Su Nan said.
Wang Chong was surprised: “You guys already know about this?”
Su Nan nodded calmly, “I only know a little, not the specifics.”
Liu Xutao took the opportunity to ask, “Brother Wang, do you know what happened?”
Wang Chong looked around and said mysteriously, “You must not speak of this to anyone else!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Xutao’s eyes were full of curiosity, and he immediately assured, “Don’t worry, Brother Wang, we won’t talk nonsense.”
Wang Chong thought for a moment before saying, “I just heard it from Miss Bai. It’s said that this incident is related to Wang Nan.”
“You still remember the guy who impersonated Wang Nan, right? I’ll tell you; he wasn’t alone but had an organization behind him. People in that organization have one common characteristic: they all wear black clothes.”
“The goal of the black-clothed organization has always been to get Wang Nan. It seems there’s something they want to retrieve from him.”
“The attack on the Demon Investigation Bureau and the kidnapping of an official mysterious figure a few days ago was to force Wang Nan out.”
“It’s said that last night, the authorities sent as many as five powerful persons here, as well as a group of professional criminal investigators.”
“Their purpose was not only to rescue the kidnapped mysterious person but also to find Wang Nan.”
Liu Xutao listened dumbfounded.
It took him a while to digest the information in Wang Chong’s words and then asked with even more confusion, “Where did these black-clothed people come from? They dare to confront the authorities so openly!”
“I don’t know about that.” Wang Chong shook his head.
Su Nan’s face appeared surprised, as if he had just heard some secret news.
Inside, however, he felt a little heavy.
He had thought that as long as he didn’t take action himself, no one would be able to find him.
Now it seemed that even without action, he might not be safe.
Donglin City was quickly turning into a powder keg, with both the Destiny Society’s people in black and the official Night Patrol focusing on the area.
Even if they couldn’t find him for the time being, it might not be the case for much longer.
Although he hadn’t left any traces or changed his appearance every time he took action, he dared not underestimate the talents of the official criminal investigators.
With them, even the smallest clue could become the key to finding him.
“It seems I’ll have to find a reason to leave Donglin City for a while.”
An idea emerged in Su Nan’s mind.
However, even if he wanted to leave, he would have to plan carefully.
At least he needed to make his departure appear less abrupt, as leaving suddenly could easily raise suspicions.
A day of work passed leisurely.
Returning home, Su Nan habitually opened the forum and started reading.
“There are only two days left before the Survival Task ends. I have only reached Demon Cultivation Initial Success. What should I do?”
“I’m done. I haven’t even completed the Novice Task yet. I’m sure to lose my game qualifications this time!”
“If I had known the game would start so hard, I would have sold the bracelet and waited for the next batch of public beta tests to enter!”
On the forum, many players were complaining and lamenting, regretting their early entry into the game.
Su Nan wasn’t surprised; he had anticipated this situation long ago.
So far, only three or four thousand people on the ranking list had reached Demon Art Mastery.
More were at Demon Sutra Great Success; there were more than seven thousand of these players. These people could have a great chance of completing the Survival Task if they used their last two days wisely.
As for the players who only achieved Demon Cultivation Initial Success, it was basically impossible for them to complete the task now.
“I didn’t expect the ranking list would change so much in the last few days, first Zhang Yang appeared, and now Lang Thirteen has come!”
“Zhang Yang was in the first batch of players, but Lang Thirteen is definitely a player who entered after the public beta test. He is the real Luck Child.”
Last night, Lang Thirteen achieved Mastery for the Third Demon Sutra, causing quite a stir.
Some people carefully studied the changes in the ranking list over the past few days.
And they found out.
From the fusion of the second bloodline to the Great Perfection of the third bloodline, Lang Thirteen took only three days!
