Life Dungeon Game

“You’re the most interesting person I’ve ever met,” Enko said, taking a sip of his drink and looking at Heo. “Be careful of that guy from the World Tree; he’s not one to play by the rules.”

"Okay, I'll look into him."

He Ao smiled and took a sip of his drink.

"To the moonlight."

Enko raised the wine jug.

"Respect to the Research Institute".

He Ao also raised his wine jug and clinked it against his own.

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes before saying goodbye.

Enko returned to the area he was in charge of.

He Ao glanced at the wine flask in his hand. For a C-level, ordinary poisons were no longer effective; only curses or similar things containing extraordinary power could cause harm.

Anything possessing extraordinary power cannot escape the gaze of divine sense.

Before He Ao took the wine jug, he knew it was a non-poisonous jug.

Enko came without malice, though it may not have been purely out of goodwill either.

After all, as the person in charge of Moonlight, his coming over to speak ill of the person in charge of the World Tree who was about to be appointed was somewhat like sowing discord.

However, He Ao is more inclined to believe that what he said is true. After all, showing goodwill and sowing discord are not always contradictory.

He Ao took a sip of his drink and quietly watched the shadows in the sunlight move with time.

······

At 10 a.m., the person in charge of the World Tree still hadn't shown up.

A new military police unit was brought in from the surrounding area, and the leader was the military police captain whom He Ao had dealt with before and who had helped He Ao gather intelligence.

As He Ao was arranging their garrison areas, he walked over and whispered,

"A message, I don't know if it will be helpful to you."

"what news?"

He Ao asked in confusion.

"The Ruodan Restoration Organization, the one dedicated to overthrowing the Ruodan Republic and restoring the kingdom, you asked me about them before,"

The military police captain explained slowly, "They seemed to have had an internal conflict a couple of days ago. We don't know the real reason yet, but according to information from those who defected to them, it seems to be because of their previous leader..."

Duke Ellen died, and internal divisions arose.

“One group hailed the new Duke Ellen and prepared to continue the ‘restoration cause,’ while another group directly abandoned their membership in the Restoration Organization and chose to leave the organization.”

"Is the problem that the spoils weren't divided equally?"

He asked softly.

"Duke Ellen" is the leader of the Rhodan Restoration Organization; in fact, he is the "boss."

"Yes,"

The military police captain nodded. "According to those who defected to us, the two sides seem to have a conflict over how to divide the legacy left by the former Duke Ellen. Those who broke away from the Restoration Organization were preparing to take some things with them, but those who stayed behind wouldn't allow it, so the two sides clashed."

What was the outcome of the conflict?

He Ao asked.

"That's what's strange,"

The military police captain explained slowly, "The number of people preparing to leave the restoration organization is only a small part, but they have shown extremely strong combat power and tight organization. They easily broke through the entire Ruodan restoration organization and took away all the treasures accumulated by the restoration organization over the years."

"But when we searched based on the information given by the members of the restoration organization who had come to us, we found no trace of these 'separatists' and did not know where they had fled to."

What is your current assessment?

He looked at the military police captain.

"The military police's assessment is that the core members of the Ruodan Restoration Organization had infighting, divided the treasure among themselves, and broke up the group. However, to avoid being traced and to protect their share of the treasure, they fabricated this 'defection' story to confuse the public. My opinion is..."

The military police captain glanced at He Ao and said, "It's not that such a group of 'detached individuals' doesn't exist. Just because we can't find them doesn't prove that they don't exist."

"I see,"

He Ao nodded slightly. Now that the moonlight had been severely damaged and other forces had not yet come in to fill the gap, it was precisely the time when Ruo Dan's extraordinary power was in a state of flux.

"Keep the pace under control and don't investigate too deeply. If there really is a group of 'detached individuals,' they would be in great danger. Someone should take over this matter in a while."

"it is good."

The military police captain nodded.

He said goodbye to him, watched him return to the military police, and fell into deep thought.

The Ruodan Restoration Organization is actually a private, centralized organization established by the 'boss' Jonati after the fall of the Kingdom era, using the intelligence department from the former Kingdom era to continue manipulating the situation in Ruodan through these hidden forces.

Now, 'Boss' Jonati has died at the hands of Heo.

It is quite normal for the sudden death of a leader to cause internal strife within an organization.

It's quite normal that the fighting strength of the Ruodan Restoration Organization is so weak.

What's abnormal is those 'detached' individuals.

If the military police captain's description is true, and these separatists were well-organized, easily defeating the majority of the Ruodan restoration organization with just a few people, then it's possible that two points of contact exist.

First, a high percentage of these defectors are extraordinary individuals, and some are even members of a 'new organization' composed of extraordinary individuals from the restoration movement itself.

Secondly, this defector organization was formed long before the boss was even alive.

Organizational structure is essential; otherwise, it would be impossible for a well-structured organization to exist immediately after the boss's death.

However, based on He Ao's understanding of the "boss," the boss is a "tyrant" with an extremely strong desire for control.

He would never allow a small organization, especially one with many extraordinary individuals, to be born within his organization and become a 'state within a state' beyond his control.

Either these 'defectors' were established by the 'boss' himself, or these 'defectors' were originally attached to the boss's organization and continued to grow as a 'secret organization'.

If these 'defectors' are organized by the boss, it is unlikely that they can maintain a tight organizational structure after the boss's sudden death, unless a new powerful leader emerges within them and takes control of these 'defectors' in a very short time.

Although this possibility is small, it is not non-existent, and it is considered a relatively good one, limited to the struggle for power and profit.

The worst-case scenario is that these 'defectors' form a secret organization right under the boss's nose, while the 'boss' is still alive, and without the 'boss's' knowledge, parasitizing the 'boss's' power.

This means that there are still many things surrounding the 'boss' that He Ao hasn't figured out yet.

Perhaps even the boss himself is unaware of these things.

The three Dawn C-ranks that the boss had previously transferred from the vicinity of the Tia Empire were not seen by Heo during the Mysterious Shadow incident. After the incident ended and the boss died, these three C-ranks did not return to their original base.

It's as if they've vanished into thin air.

Also vanished without a trace was the C-level top expert 'Painter', whom the Dawn leader had questioned about last night. He was the former main person in charge of the Dawn Western Region and a friend of the boss.

He Ao used his authority last night to investigate. On the night of the boss's death, there was still news about 'The Painter', but the next morning, all contact was suddenly lost.

Four C-level ratings are enough to shake the regimes of some peripheral small countries.

This is still the C-level 'disappearance' that He Aoneng was able to detect.

Things seem to be heading in a complicated direction.

He Ao glanced at the time; it was almost 10:30.

-

Li Cheng sat at the elegant dining table, looking at the Ruodan specialty roasted meat laid out in front of him.

The surrounding tables were empty; in the huge restaurant, only this one table was occupied at that moment.

"Li Cheng, are you sure he'll come?"

An aged voice came from the Bluetooth earpiece pressed against my ear; it was Rudol, a B-rank from the World Tree of the Western Lands.

At this moment, he is having a remote call with Li Cheng.

"I'm sure he'll come."

Li Cheng raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

The roar of a steam horn suddenly filled the empty restaurant.

Chapter 607 'Hao Yi' and the Superhuman Organizations (Large Chapter, Seeking Monthly Comments)

A huge, old-fashioned car suddenly burst out from one side of the void and passed by the tiny dining table in the restaurant.

The strong winds from the passing vehicle whipped up the white tablecloth, and the surrounding tables and chairs trembled violently as the heavy vehicle drove by.

This was the first time Li Cheng had ever seen the Verola.

Seeing this car emerge from the void in real life is a completely different experience from seeing it in reports and videos.

The enormous mechanical monster appeared directly from the void, filling the entire vast space. The shock it brought was no different from that of a primitive tribe seeing a heavy mechanical tank charging towards them.

The beauty of those human-built mechanical behemoths is cleverly combined with the mystery of incomprehensible supernatural power, creating a beauty that shakes our understanding.

Li Cheng watched as the terrifying mechanical monster charged out in front of him and then plunged headlong into the void not far ahead without stopping.

Soon, the long, narrow train passed several carriages in front of him, until it reached the last carriage, which was filled with viewing windows.

A young man wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt and black-rimmed glasses was sitting in front of a seat in the last carriage, looking out at the restaurant through the observation window.

The Verola slowly came to a stop.

Most of the vehicle disappeared into the dark void, with only the rear compartment, furnished with tables and chairs, remaining inside the restaurant.

Li Cheng stared at the young man sitting in the car. The young man moved his gaze toward him and smiled.

Click—bang—

With a crisp, clear sound, the tailgate door suddenly opened, seemingly extending an invitation to the guests outside.

"That vehicle is a Class B extraordinary item. It's very dangerous, and you can't go in easily. If you go in, you might not be able to come out."

Liu Zhengyun's voice rang in Li Cheng's other earphone.
