My Player 2

Chapter 423 The Golden Age of Open Source

Mai Sakurajima's head was about to explode.

He hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and regretted taking the job.

As the head of the new department, he is responsible for handling all cases involving superhumans.

The leader just said on the phone that only national-level forces have the capability to bypass countless security checks and place a bomb in Jinghai's exhibition hall.

This is most likely a test by foreign forces, and they have already gotten the answer they wanted.

Of course, the possibility of superhumans causing trouble cannot be ruled out.

Mai Sakurajima looked at the report on the table, which contained a plan to mitigate the impact.

With the help of "Amu Xiao," public opinion has been steered towards condemning the prankster.

They can simply push one of their own people forward, have him play the prankster teenager, and then fake a court hearing and issue a public notice to cover up the crisis.

The most critical issue is that the murderer has not been caught.

"Thank goodness we were lucky this time." Mai Sakurajima felt a sense of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

Fortunately, the girl was able to turn the bomb into a doll. Although this was different from his understanding of "magical girls," she prevented a tragedy.

Fortunately, it was at a game expo. The girl was dressed in a silver-white dress, which wasn't particularly special in the exhibition hall. However, because she was so cute, she attracted a lot of attention online, and a group of people called her "wife".

Damn, I really want to arrest these people.

He put down the documents, glanced at the time, and saw that there were still twenty minutes before the emergency meeting. He then prepared to go and see the mother and daughter and have a chat with them.

Mai Sakurajima walked to the infirmary.

Li Yuan's leg was cut to an artery; she had just come out of the operating room not long ago.

Her leg injury was so deep that, while it wouldn't be life-threatening, it would certainly leave a long scar.

"But Mom, you won't be able to wear skirts anymore." The girl was talking to her mother.

Because she was under general anesthesia, Li Yuan couldn't sleep for 6 hours and had to wait for the medication to be metabolized.

The daughter was sitting by the hospital bed, holding her mother's hand tightly, her eyes red from crying.

Mai Sakurajima coughed.

"Sister Li, are you alright?" He walked to the bedside, not knowing what to say.

We had dinner together last night; we were friends who met up because of the same game.

What now?
One is the head of a special department, and the other is a suspect in the superhuman incident.

Li Yuan glanced at "Sakurajima Mai" and asked listlessly:

"Has the murderer been caught?"

Because the anesthesia hadn't worn off, her voice was hoarse and low, as if she had phlegm in her mouth.

Hearing this, Mai Sakurajima felt agitated. The meeting was about to discuss this matter, and the masked man who planted the bomb had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

According to the surveillance footage, after planting the bomb, the man shouted "There's a bomb!" to the crowd and then disappeared.

This is the method of an assassin.

Seeing Mai Sakurajima's constipated expression, Li Yuan knew the murderer was still at large. She gripped her daughter's hand tightly and pleaded:
"Mai, you must protect my daughter. I have a feeling the killer will come after her."

Before Mai Sakurajima could reply, her daughter patted her chest and answered confidently:
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm very strong."

The two adults remained silent.

They exchanged glances and saw each other's resolve.

After leaving the medical room, Mai Sakurajima took out her phone, looked at the "Brotherhood" group in her contacts, and finally made up her mind.

He added all his brothers to the new group, tagged everyone, and said in the group:
"Brothers, I've got connections everywhere lately, anyone interested in a government job?"

He decided to tell these people the truth, so that they could become extraordinary individuals, join his new department, and contribute to the stability of society.

This is the result of careful consideration.

He planned to act first and inform the authorities later.

Damn it, the game has only been open for three and a half months, and the risks of advancing to the extraordinary level are so high, yet dozens of extraordinary individuals have already appeared. This momentum is unstoppable!
The number of extraordinary individuals will only increase in the future, since the methods for cultivating extraordinary abilities have been completely "open-sourced" in the game.

Anyone can learn it by going online.

The reason there are so few extraordinary individuals now is simply because nobody is so bored as to spend hundreds of hours imitating the settings in games to cultivate.

The reason why extraordinary individuals keep appearing is because the game is too realistic.

The tide cannot be stopped.

The group chat was flooded with question marks. Several guys from Shandong immediately called, but Mai Sakurajima didn't have time to answer.

He has a meeting to attend later and plans to contact them one by one by phone when he has time.

Those he could bring into the group were all assassin players with excellent skills and character, and were recognized by him. Even the worst assassin was among the top 300.

Mai Sakurajima didn't cheat them either.

So far, only one death has occurred when a player is advancing to the Bronze rank.

This was all because that person courted disaster.

Players who have experienced extraordinary abilities in the game, such as "a Nascent Soul cultivator dispersing his power and starting over," may not know where they went wrong, but they definitely know what is right, giving them a much greater advantage than non-players.

These assassin players, if they cause trouble, can be far more deadly than other classes.

The higher-ups might have some concerns about recruiting them ahead of time, but they should ultimately be able to accept it.

In the medical room.

Li Yuan was in a state of turmoil. She took out her phone and scrolled through it for a while, and came across a video of her daughter being secretly filmed. The video had already garnered over 500 million likes.

The video comments were mostly friendly, but the few offensive comments were like thorns stuck in her fingernails, constantly reminding Li Yuan that her ordinary and peaceful life with her daughter was no more.

She resisted the urge to smash her phone and asked her daughter, who was standing by her bedside:
"You stole my Shining Crystal?"

The daughter lowered her head and mumbled a soft "hmm" in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, explaining:
"That gem was in the refrigerator. I didn't know it was... a sparkling crystal."

Li Yuan closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

Maybe this is fate.

As the first magical girl player, she always wanted to become a magical girl, so she consulted with Lord Kachu and used rare gems from the real world to create more than a dozen kinds of Shining Crystals.

She didn't know if she had succeeded, because none of the crystals could transform her.

—Because only girls with pure hearts and minds can become magical girls.

And her daughter...

Thinking of what the girl would look like after her transformation, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings.

At least my daughter didn't have a teenage romance and still maintains the essential qualities of a magical girl...

pure.

“You can’t become a magical girl just by getting the Shining Crystal,” Li Yuan exposed her daughter’s lie. “You also peeked into my notes.”

"I'm sorry, Mom."

The daughter buried her head in her mother's chest, her body trembling slightly from sobbing. No one could bear to blame her, and Li Yuan's heart immediately softened.

If it weren't for my daughter risking her life to save me today, who knows what kind of tragedy would have occurred.

That's a whole bag of bombs!
Li Yuan felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. The thought of the uncertain future drained her energy as if it were being pumped away, and she closed her eyes wearily.

The Divine Realm, within the private territory of the island.

Chestnut Kite was awakened by the sound of the waves and sat up from the soft bed.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, immediately opened the game panel, and seeing that the system was still there, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't die.

So, it turns out you can enter the game without wearing a helmet, just by having the world in your mind?
