Chapter 449: Virtual Game Part : Battle of National Destiny

"It's almost time. How's Shen Lin doing? Still can't get in touch with him?"

At the headquarters of Dajing City, although it was already night, the lights were still on and the staff were busy. Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua did not rest either and remained in command.

Today, they want to confirm one thing.

Soon, Shen Lin's contact person replied: "The call has been unreachable. I don't know the specific situation. Should we force the call to be connected?"

The satellite positioning mobile phones at the headquarters all have backdoors, which is also a guarantee for the team leaders and responsible persons.

However, this method can easily arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the captains and responsible persons, and question the purpose of the headquarters, so it is generally not used.

But now?

Cao Yanhua thought for a long time before saying, "No need. Shen Lin's condition should be fine. Carefully check the conditions of major cities across the country, especially Taiping Ancient Town. If a white fog ghost area appears, report immediately."

"Yes!"

In the previous few virtual games, Shen Lin would go to the location of the scenes in the virtual game, and they would be shrouded in white fog and ghost areas.

Once was an accident, could twice be a coincidence?
The headquarters is not blind, so it is impossible for them not to see this, so the headquarters has made preparations in advance for this virtual game.

If we can confirm that Shen Lin's abnormality is related to the virtual game in the Peace Hotel, then perhaps some additional arrangements can be made.

However, we need to figure it out thoroughly to avoid making things worse.

It is certainly difficult to achieve this step, but as long as you restrain yourself step by step, you should have a chance to get to know the truth. Just like now, they have searched all over the country, but there is no news about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". However, during the team-building activity of the Peace Hotel, they accidentally found the diary of Wang Chaling's father Wang Lu, which recorded a lot of information related to the "store manager".

It is definitely easier to cast a wide net.

But focusing on important doubts is also a good choice.

At the same time, Shen Lin had quietly left Daxia City, or rather, Shen Lin's body, and his consciousness had been trapped in his body.

He relies on memories to exist, and when his consciousness is restricted, he doesn't even have the chance to use supernatural powers to restart.

"This tool is quite useful, but it has received too much attention. But it doesn't matter. I have a lot of anchor points now. Although it's not very stable, it will be fine soon."

Shen Lin's body gradually disappeared, as if he had never existed.

At the same time, Wang Chaling in Dadong City has rested. He is still an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary. He lets the ghosts of his grandparents watch over him when he sleeps at night.

The main point is just one word:

fear death!

He even planned to build a new safe house made entirely of gold and live in it so that he could sleep more peacefully.

The reason why I go to bed so early is to get enough rest. Tomorrow morning, I have to go to the Peace Hotel to see what the diary that I spent a lot of money to restore is about.

Although there was no safe house now, he slept very soundly with the ghosts of his grandparents protecting him. However, he did not notice that a figure slowly emerged on the sofa in his room and soon solidified.

It’s Shen Lin’s body!

The two dead souls of the Wang family who stood beside Wang Chaling like sculptures also sensed the arrival of the supernatural, but their order was to guard.

So he just looked over and didn't take any drastic action immediately.

Lin Yuan glanced at them, then looked at Wang Chaling who was sleeping soundly on the bed. White fog and ghostly domain surged out of his body, quickly covering the building and spreading rapidly in all directions.

According to past experience, Lin Yuan usually uses the ghost domain to cover a city.

But now he didn't, but was looking for something. It was not until the white fog ghost domain covered the Wang family's ancestral home that it stopped expanding, and Shen Lin's body also appeared in the ancestral home.

The mysterious pendulum clock was taken away from the Wang family's ancestral home, and the magic power of restarting was lost, but with the prison in the mysterious place, it is not completely useless.

The Wang family's ancestral home was previously controlled by the Pendulum Survival Society. Although the house was still cleaned well, the yard had been abandoned.

But now, the yard has been cleared, and even the house looks brand new, and it is obvious that someone has done a professional cleaning.

Moreover, there is a lot of gold here, which is not placed in a box as a collectible, but piled together like building materials.

The golden appearance is still very dazzling even at night when the lights are dim.

"Are you planning to build a safe house? Then Shen Lin's power will be limited. But it doesn't matter. He's not the only one involved."

Lin Yuan looked towards the corridor on the second floor.

There were two ghosts wandering there, as if they were patrolling or looking for something, and these two ghosts were none other than Wang Lu and his wife.

Lin Yuan controlled Shen Lin's body, came to the second floor, and appeared in front of Wang Lu and his wife.

The way forward was blocked, and Wang Lu and his wife attacked Lin Yuan directly without any hesitation, but they were blocked by the white fog ghost domain, which directly poured into their bodies.

The next moment, they stopped.

At the same time, thick white fog poured out from Shen Lin's body, quickly covering the entire Dadong City, and this sudden change was also noticed by the headquarters.

"Dadong City? Contact Wang Chaling immediately and inquire about the situation." Cao Yanhua ordered.

"Yes!"

The staff became busy, not only contacting Wang Chaling, but also checking the previous surveillance cameras near Dadong City, trying to find any traces of Shen Lin's presence.

However, there was no trace of Shen Lin in any of the surveillance footage, and Wang Chaling's phone could no longer be reached. The entire Dadong City seemed to have suddenly become an isolated island.

The signal can neither go in nor out.

Such a prosperous coastal city fell into absolute silence.

Before, Lin Yuan was only playing virtual games in Taiping Ancient Town. Zhongzhou City was flooded by the Ghost Lake again. There were only four people and a bunch of ghosts left in the ancient town, so the headquarters did not feel too much pressure.

But this time, a city with a population of tens of millions was shrouded in white fog, and all communications were cut off. The silent pressure instantly cast a dark cloud over everyone's heart.

In fact, this is not the first time that the white fog ghost area has covered the entire city.

When the first virtual game appeared in reality, that is, in ZS City, ZS City was blocked by the White Mist Ghost Domain. At that time, they were very worried, and they actually took the opportunity of ordering takeout to invite the "store manager" over, causing a big misunderstanding.

Fortunately, the "store manager" didn't bother with them.

There was also the blind date incident in Dajing City, and the white fog ghost domain also covered the entire Dajing City.

At that time, Wang Xiaoming wanted to use the mechanism to hold the "store manager" hostage, which was like betting the lives of people in Dajing City, and he lost the bet.

If Wang Xiaoming's value had not been so great, he might have been dead long ago. How could he have the opportunity to continue his life in the Peace Hotel and complete more supernatural experiments like now?

The Dahai City ghost grave incident is also not to be missed.

This supernatural incident, the huge ghost tomb towering into the clouds, almost completely buried the entire Dahai City. If it weren't for the intervention of the "store manager", perhaps Dahai City would have completely disappeared in the tomb pile and become a thing of history.

Every time the white fog of the ghostly realm covers the entire city, it is not a good sign.

It's okay in Taiping Ancient Town, after all, there aren't many people there. The only few people there are all old people in the supernatural circle, and they are also involved with the Peace Hotel, so there's nothing to worry about.

At that time, the headquarters only sent a captain to watch over it and was not too nervous.

But now, this is Dadong City, with a population of tens of millions. If something really happens, it will definitely cause big problems!
"As usual, we should have someone keep an eye on the area so that if anything does happen, it can be dealt with in a timely manner. I hope this is just a virtual game and there aren't any other supernatural events." Cao Yanhua sighed.

There are not many people that the headquarters can dispatch right now, especially those at the captain level.

Yang Jian, Li Leping and others all have their own things to do, otherwise, given their circumstances, they would probably follow Cao Yang and the others to play the virtual game tonight.

The only one left is Li Jun from the headquarters.

"I'll go right away."

Li Jun did not complain after receiving the order. He did not even use any means of transportation. He took Ah Hong and rushed over using the ghost domain. Soon they arrived at the outskirts of Dadong City.

Looking at the dense white fog that could not be dissolved, Li Jun suddenly sighed, "A powerful spirit that is out of control is really too dangerous."

Ah Hong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "The store manager is still neutral and kind, you don't have to worry so much. And these words... are best not to be said."

"I know."

Li Jun naturally knew the possible risks of questioning the "store manager" behind his back, but given his personality, since he had thought of these things, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't say them out loud. "Don't worry, I only said this in front of you."

Ah Hong glanced at him, nodded, and said nothing more.

As the night deepened, the city of Dadong, shrouded in white fog and ghostly territory, completely turned into an isolated island, and no one knew what was happening inside.

Li Jun tried to go in, but the thick fog seemed to have no blocking effect and he couldn't get in no matter what.

"We can only wait for the game to be over. I hope Cao Yang and the others can get more information. Unfortunately, this time, it probably won't have much to do with Taiping Ancient Town." The virtual game of Taiping Ancient Town has been played twice. Although there were several months in between, the plots can still be connected, which is of great help to them in understanding the past of Taiping Ancient Town.

of course.

If it's just archaeology, it doesn't have much significance.

The ancient town of Taiping has declined, and its fourth-generation successor, He Yiner, has now been born. She has the dual identities of fish pond manager of the Peace Hotel and captain of the headquarters' Ohara City.

The only ones left are Boss Liu, the faceless man and the middle-aged woman. Their history is no longer important.

What is more important is the traces of "store managers" in history. As long as we know more about "store managers", we may be able to find a better way to deal with them.

I thought that this time the game would still be held in Taiping Ancient Town, and the headquarters had also made some arrangements there, but I never expected that this time the virtual game would actually be held in Dadong City.

"It should be Wang Lu's diary that was brought back from the Wang family's ancestral home. This time, we may be able to learn about some of Wang Lu's life and the story of his involvement in the Peace Hotel."

Ah Hong's eyes were filled with longing. "Traveling back in time and participating in history as one's own identity sounds very interesting."

Li Jun looked at her and said solemnly: "If you want to participate, I can help you apply to the headquarters and let you participate in the virtual game. At the same time, I will provide you with the resources to enter the game at least once."

"But after that, I won't be able to move with you anymore, and we'll have to break up in front of the store manager, right?"

Ah Hong asked. Seeing that Li Jun didn't say anything, she knew the answer. "Forget it. I don't want to be affected unconsciously. It's good now. At least it's much better than the desperate world before the store manager appeared."

She seemed to be thinking about the time when she became a ghost rider and the supernatural events that happened afterwards, and her face was gloomy.

Li Jun looked back at Dadong City. "If you give up something, you will gain something. This is an eternal truth. If you are willing to control your curiosity, I hope to be with you till the end. Maybe one day, the world will return to normal, and there will be no more supernatural events. It will be a world for ordinary people to live in."

Ah Hong's eyes flashed with yearning, "I hope so. But now, I still have to work hard and... put on some makeup."

As she spoke, she took out the ghost makeup from her arms.

Li Jun: "..."

……

"careful!"

The middle-aged woman was in danger, but fortunately the clothes she wore were not ordinary. Each piece of clothing was a ghost, which just turned into the appearance of clothes through unknown supernatural forces.

When attacked, the clothes automatically defend themselves.

But the effect of one piece of clothing seemed not very good, and it could not cover the burnt arm at all. One after another, the clothes flipped over and kept wrapping around the arm.

Boss Liu also rushed over immediately and grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand.

The next moment, the burnt hand clearly did not loosen, but kept its grip and moved away from the middle-aged woman's shoulder, thus saving her.

Boss Liu stared solemnly at the burnt arm that disappeared into the white mist, and said in a deep voice: "Now we can use supernatural powers. This is no longer the Peace Hotel. We must have entered a virtual game."

"Does opening the door count as entering the game? It's really an interesting game." The middle-aged woman's face turned black, caused by the burnt arm that had just eroded her.

Fortunately, she was not fatally injured, but she lost a few pieces of clothes, which made her feel a little sad.

Boss Liu glanced around and suddenly moved his nose, smelling a choking burnt smell. At the same time, a cold laugh came, "Are you here to rescue the family of three? In that case, then all of you stay here."

"Foreigner?"

Hearing that strange accent, Boss Liu frowned and felt even more disgusted. But before he could make a move, the faceless man gestured at them, meaning:
"I go."

"Be careful." Boss Liu did not stop him. Although he was alert, he was not particularly uneasy or alert, including the middle-aged woman next to him.

She had just been attacked and lost several pieces of clothing, so she said directly, "I'm going too!"

Without waiting for Boss Liu to answer, she walked out, but in a different direction from the faceless man. It was obvious that she was also planning to deal with the bastard who attacked her.

Boss Liu sighed, knowing that he couldn't stop her, but he still chose to follow the middle-aged woman.

After all these years of getting along with each other, everyone knows who is strong and who is weak. At least in his opinion, middle-aged women have stronger abilities to save their lives, but they are too impulsive.

If you really meet the guys in this ghost area, you will probably suffer a loss.

However, before they could take a few steps, a scream was heard from the room just now, and then the smoke with a burning smell around them gradually dissipated, and the three of them finally saw the scene in front of them clearly.

This was a middle-aged couple wearing Zhongshan suits, with a little boy about ten years old.

The little boy, holding his mother's hand, was looking at Boss Liu and his group with curiosity, while the middle-aged man was holding something in both hands.

The left hand was a burnt arm, and the right hand was the body of a foreign man without a right arm.

The body was wearing a goose-tail suit and was a white person, obviously from abroad. This made Boss Liu look serious, "Did he go abroad? Didn't they say it was Taiping Ancient Town?"

"Who are you and why are you here?" The middle-aged man threw the corpse in his hand casually as if it were garbage.

Looking at this scene, Boss Liu's forehead twitched.

You have to know that this is not an ordinary corpse, but a killed ghost rider who possesses a ghost domain, burnt arms, and controls at least two ghosts!
If it is thrown aside like this, it is very likely that the evil spirit will revive, and then it will be troublesome.

However, what surprised him was that after the body was thrown out, there was no sign of struggle or resuscitation, as if it was just a corpse that could not be more ordinary.

"The ghost was suppressed in such a short time?"

The middle-aged woman had recovered a lot and whispered, "Be careful, this person is not simple."

Boss Liu naturally knew this truth. Seeing that the other party was a Chinese, he remained alert and said, "My last name is Liu. My family runs a hotel. Everyone calls me Boss Liu. May I know your last name, brother?"

Judging from his appearance, he was even older than the middle-aged man. There was nothing wrong with calling him brother, but this man was too strong, so he had to deal with him properly.

The middle-aged man did not express any doubt about Boss Liu's self-introduction.

The supernatural powers are very strange, and it is not uncommon for those who can launch attacks by knowing the name. The saying "When you are in the world, you should use a trumpet when you go out" is exactly this truth.

"My last name is Wang, you can just call me Lao Wang." Lao Wang clapped his hands and returned to the woman and the little boy.

Lao Wang?

Boss Liu had the illusion of being in danger, but then he heard Lao Wang say, "The battle in the north has been fought, and we have killed many of those strange people abroad. Boss Liu, if you go there now, you may not gain anything."

The battle in the north?

A strange person from abroad?
Boss Liu and the middle-aged woman looked at each other, then looked at the faceless man. Although they did not communicate, they quickly made a decision. That was to communicate and exchange ideas based on the fact that they had just dealt with the same enemy together.

Lao Wang didn't seem to resist too much and gave a brief explanation.

Now, Boss Liu finally understood the situation, but then he became a little hesitant, even at a loss.

According to Lao Wang's explanation, it is now the year of Guisi, which is July of 53.

The Wang family lived in Dadong City. Three years ago, when they heard that a fierce battle was about to break out, they resolutely followed a group of like-minded friends to the battlefield.

On that battlefield, they fought a battle with foreign eccentrics that risked the fate of their country.

Too many people died in this battle, but it also brought about a century of peace and the prestige of the Chinese people. At the same time, a leader stood up and made an agreement with the strange people abroad:
Unless you are a rare person in the country, you are not allowed to set foot on any land in the country. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!

This was the strongest response made by the domestic eccentrics to the group of jackals from abroad. However, when the eccentrics from dozens of countries gathered together, no one dared to refute it.

Just because of this battle, they fully realized the power and even terror of the strange people in the country.

This war is enough to deter those foreign eccentrics for decades, and will make them dare not spy on the country at all.

Boss Liu's blood boiled after hearing this, and he wished he could go to that battlefield himself. He only hoped that a virtual game in the future would allow them to get there and fight alongside their ancestors!

The middle-aged woman was calmer.

But facing this hero who brought a ten-year-old child and a family of three to the battlefield, she no longer had any resentment or malice. She looked at the foreigner's body on the ground and asked, "What happened just now?"

"Oh! Some people are just unwilling to accept this. There are many countries that did not participate in that war. Their strange people think we are too arrogant, so they want to sneak in and attack us. After we settle down, we have to go abroad to avoid letting some people think that all our people have been killed!"

Lao Wang sneered repeatedly, his words full of murderous intent.

This murderous aura was not the kind of supernatural power, but the momentum accumulated from killing too many enemies on the battlefield. This momentum was like a sea of ​​corpses and blood rushing towards you, making it hard to breathe.

Even though Boss Liu and his two companions had experienced many supernatural events, compared with those who had come out of the battlefield, they could only be considered people living in peacetime.

"This guy is quite strong and is also quite famous abroad. The fact that he was defeated so easily by me is also thanks to you for attracting his attention just now. Thank you."

Lao Wang restrained his breath and introduced his wife, Lao Lu, and their child, Xiao Wang.

Boss Liu looked at Xiao Wang and suddenly said, "The kid doesn't seem to be afraid at all, but I think he's just an ordinary person."
