Before Xu Huo left, he had already used tracking tools and tracking characteristics on Lin Guang and the Resistance Army mber, anticipating that the Eastern District would have counterasures. Therefore, he used the Lock-on Target characteristic on the Resistance Army mber; if he managed to infiltrate the training ground, he would have preventive asures, effectively avoiding the possibility of the characteristic being cleansed from him.
The roadblock had delayed them a bit, and they were still on the move.
While keeping an eye on their movents, he opened Beneath the Dinsion.
Sure enough, the Resistance Army contacted him and agreed to cooperate with him.
However, their cooperation was online. The Resistance mbers did not show up in person; they were willing to find any information he needed. To show goodwill, they would first provide information, and after confirming the information’s authenticity, Xu Huo would tell them the weaknesses of the Eastern District players.
Neither side had a foundation of trust, and their cooperation relied entirely on goodwill. The Resistance Army’s approach sounded sincere, even sowhat disadvantageous to themselves. After all, if Xu Huo reneged afterwards, they would get nothing.
But this was actually the Resistance Army testing his clearance mission while stabilizing him.
The key to clearing the Outer Zone players might not lie with the Agor Corporation and could be related to the Resistance Army, so the Resistance Army would prioritize their safety before providing information. Not eting in person was also for this reason.
Furthermore, whether he was a true Outer Zone player or the Eastern District person in disguise, seeking cooperation without tily feedback could cause so trouble for the Resistance Army. After all, he had intercepted the mask player before and was a Super Evolver with ntal Powers. Whether the Resistance Army provided any useful clearance information in the end, delaying ti did not incur a cost.
With a slight hesitation, Xu Huo wrote down the lines "Eastern District Player Modification Plan" and "Agor Corporation’s Psychotherapist".
The two Eastern District players encountered at the Resistance Army’s stronghold carried mutated plant seeds capable of testing Psychic Power. Since this form of tickets was obtained from Doctor Zhang’s Wisdom Sphere, whether it was Doctor Zhang himself or Chang Bei who put them in, he deduced that the Eastern District players valued and understood super-evolution with ntal powers more than ordinary districts. However, the massacre incident involving Eastern District players slightly altered his perspective.
The mask player’s words revealed a point—the Eastern District players were believed to have frad the Resistance Army in the sa manner before.
However, based on the data Xu Huo found in the Western District, which had high cri rates, instances of players going on killing sprees were rare. While the Resistance Army did have players involved in factory raids, spreading ideologies, and exposing the true nature of the Eastern District, these acts were mostly carried out under the slogan "the will is never extinguished", suggesting they believed they had justifiable reasons.
Last night’s massacre by the Eastern District players was purely a massacre.
The few Eastern District players who arrived afterward, and today’s events at Gate No. 3, were quite intriguing. When they noticed their colleagues exhibited uncontrollable behavior, they first observed and recorded, then decided whether to execute on the spot based on the circumstances. This indicated they had a system for handling such situations. Judging by their nonchalant deanor, such occurrences were not rare exceptions.
Thus, the focus wasn’t on the sudden events themselves but rather on the players.
Eastern District players had a latent tendency for losing control. The mutated plants they carried might not be to guard against others but for self-examination.
Combining these situations, Xu Huo imdiately thought of ntal remodeling.
As a child, he had undergone drug modification from Doctor Zhang. One could not guarantee that the opposition wouldn’t choose to use a large number of adults as test subjects, with aftereffects of experints being quite normal.
Therefore, he focused on player modification. For Agor Corporation to produce a large number of Advanced Players to consolidate their position, the company, lacking cohesion like that of a nation or race, needed a ans to control the players. If Doctor Zhang was involved, the whole process wasn’t hard to imagine.
The Resistance Army was more familiar with the situation in the Eastern District, making it more convenient for them to investigate player modifications or potential Psychotherapists than for him.
As for finding the Resistance Army leader known as "Dove" and the "White Blood" needed for clearance, it didn’t conflict with his personal objectives.
However, the potential major flaw in the Eastern District player modifications left Xu Huo with a vague sense of disappointnt, speculating that Doctor Zhang himself might no longer be here.
After sending the ssage, the Resistance Army didn’t imdiately reply. After a while, they said they needed so ti, asking him to wait patiently.
Xu Huo switched the interface, sending Bai Kou the Identity Card and Access Card of a still-living Eastern District player from the painting, asking her to help forge a new one.
Though the person was still alive, his colleagues had perished in action, and the log device had automatically destroyed itself. It was expected that the Eastern District would closely monitor this player. Using his Identity Card would certainly cause trouble, so he had to try creating a new one.
After completing these tasks, Xu Huo planned to go out for a walk.
Since Sister Yan advised against going out rashly, he knocked over the rack placed by a family upstairs on their window sill while airing out his room by opening the window. That family was in the midst of indoor renovations, causing several buckets of paint to spill down, affecting multiple households below. Those with closed windows were a little better off, but for soone like Xu Huo with a conveniently open window, even their carpet was affected.
Angry residents downstairs ca up to create trouble, while those upstairs rushed down to apologize and negotiate compensation.
Xu Huo had to open the door and go out, but due to disagreents on reimbursent for window cleaning and item contamination costs, the upstairs equipnt detection showed the items were semi-new, whereas the downstairs insisted on new reimbursents. As a result, amid a few words exchanged, negotiations turned to a scuffle.
Getting caught up in the situation, Xu Huo had to go with them downstairs to the local security office for a fair assessnt.
Since it wasn’t suitable for Xu Huo to be at the security office, he discreetly slipped away from the crowd after reaching downstairs. Returning was not a good option, so he boarded the circular city bus to leave.
The person monitoring him followed.
The transit was supposed to pass through the previously blocked street, but vehicles were prohibited from crossing, so it had to detour near the city center.
At this point, the Resistance Army mber got off, leaving Xu Huo alone as the vehicle approached the city’s core.
Unlike the city margins, this area not only has more patrol aircraft and ard robots but also fixed player patrol points. Passing through these places, players’ gazes would sweep across each person like a knife.
