If Song Qingshan doesn't move, the trap won't move either.
In this situation, he cannot casually take the initiative to lure the enemy.
Because if his identity is exposed, the enemy will move the traps they set up and come to deal with him, thus... the lure plan will be meaningless.
So he chose four frivolous men as bait, hoping to confuse the situation.
As a result... an unexpected copy phenomenon occurred, creating an even more plausible bait.
Wa City has long been affected by the phenomenon of duplication, and rumors have already spread.
Given this premise, the enemy is unlikely to suspect him of being behind the ambush and thus change their original ambush plan.
Luck really is a wonderful thing.
On the other hand, just as the frivolous man had predicted, the members of the fraud gang were indeed spineless, and their usual ruthlessness was just a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The three men, who had only had two broken arms and were lying on the ground, told everything they knew.
The frivolous man used soundproofing devices to interrogate the three people separately. Their statements were basically consistent, so the possibility of them lying could be ruled out.
After knocking the three men unconscious again, the frivolous man removed the soundproofing and said to the three college students, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
“Let’s talk about it together,” Captain Qi said. “Don’t be mysterious.”
"Good news, these three guys happen to know Ren Fu's older brother, Ren Chen."
The frivolous man replied, "Bad news. After the people at the factory found out that Ren Chen's family didn't have much money, they sold him to another group."
"This other group... is in the business of 'blood slaves' and organ trafficking. Ren Fu has been sold there for four days, and his life or death is currently unknown."
"These inhuman beasts!" the college student shouted angrily. "Should we take this opportunity to kill them?"
As he spoke, he kicked the three unconscious men lying on the ground several times.
"Don't cause any unnecessary trouble. Our goal is to save lives," Captain Qi said. "Only after we rescue them can we regain our freedom of movement."
"Xiao Ren, you need to be mentally prepared."
After reminding the taciturn Ren Fu, the frivolous man sighed softly and said, "We won't have a chance to rescue those people in the detention area. Let's go, let's go to where Ren Chen is first."
The other three nodded and turned to head towards the factory gate.
Before they had gone more than a few steps, they encountered an accident.
Chapter 332 The Situation Goes Wild
In a star-rated hotel in the city center.
At this moment, Brother Biao, the leader of the fraud gang, was so busy that he barely had time to breathe.
Both of his cell phones were ringing incessantly.
The urgent reports from his subordinates were leaving him somewhat exhausted.
"Brother Biao! He's back again! This time it's on Meng Street in the South District. Someone on our side has been injured by a monster."
"Brother Biao, quickly send some superhumans to the factory! There's a ghost here! And more than one!"
"Brother Biao, the ghost has started killing people! One of our brothers has been killed!"
"Brother Biao..."
……
Biao Ge, a muscular man with a fierce expression, put down his phone, looking annoyed.
Meeting the gazes of the others in the room, he questioned, "Are these strange phenomena happening now related to you? What kind of traps have you set up in the East District?"
Feeling puzzled by what was happening, he called over both of his partners.
On one side was the White Eagle Kingdom, where two people arrived: a brown-haired woman wearing a witch's hat and a white man with brown hair and emerald green eyes.
The other party consisted of two people: a handsome young man and his female secretary, who were also high-ranking members of a player organization in China.
“The traps we set wouldn’t have this effect; this must be an unexpected situation.” The white man frowned and asked, “Are you sure there really were ghosts or something? Or is someone just playing a trick?”
“This phenomenon is happening throughout the entire Wa city, in various places at the same time,” Brother Biao said. “If it’s on such a large scale and it’s really just a hoax, then it’s very likely that other organizations are involved.”
He paused, then suggested a possibility: "Could it be that Fan Xiao you mentioned is behind this? For example... he already knows we're lying in ambush on him, so he's deliberately making a lot of noise to lure our people away from the ambush so he can rescue his brother?"
"Ha ha……"
At this moment, the handsome young man sitting next to the female secretary suddenly said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "According to the information, Fan Xiao is not entirely stupid. It is not difficult for him to deduce that someone is targeting him."
"He might use some clever tricks, which is to my surprise, but the current ghostly phenomena have nothing to do with him."
"The information we have is the most recent, and it does not mention that he possesses similar abilities."
“Zhao Yu, you’re being a bit too arrogant!” the white man said. “We’ve carefully studied the information you sent us. This Fan Xiao is clearly not someone to be trifled with. Are you sure the current situation… really has nothing to do with him?”
"Arrogance? Truly capable people never hide their abilities; that's called hypocrisy."
The young man's lips curled up: "Fan Xiao returned to Division 010 the day before yesterday, and he only set off from Ancheng for here last night."
He turned his gaze to Brother Biao and continued, "I heard your subordinates report on the phone just now that the ghostly phenomena have been going on for several days. The timing doesn't even match up, how could it be him? You idiot."
"..."
Brother Biao narrowed his eyes, seemingly about to erupt.
However, considering the other party's identity and the power they controlled, he held back.
I'll kill this arrogant show-off sooner or later!
Damn it... Did he think he'd fall for that? In his eyes, the other person was just a show-off idiot!
On the other side, the white man looked at his companion—the brown-haired woman wearing a witch's hat—and asked in a low voice, "Is it him?"
“No,” the brown-haired woman replied, “it has nothing to do with him.”
"Was it really an unexpected incident...?"
The white man nodded.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the other three people in the room all turned their curious gazes toward them.
The handsome young man squinted at the brown-haired woman and said, "You... seem to possess a very interesting ability, to obtain information out of thin air...? It seems you are the leader of this operation, and I misjudged you."
The brown-haired woman glanced back at him but didn't respond.
She proactively revealed some of her information, which could be seen as a deterrent to the young man, warning him not to engage in any underhanded tactics.
The young man smirked and persisted, "You've got quite a personality... How about considering working for me? The resources and status I can offer you are far beyond what your current organization can match."
"Not interested in."
The brown-haired woman spoke very rudely.
The young man chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, such a large-scale bizarre phenomenon is most likely unrelated to the players' abilities."
"Even if a fourth force other than us does enter the fray, such charades are meaningless. They will only wait for our plan to succeed before seizing the spoils."
"I suspect that these strange phenomena are likely caused by the ongoing development of the game."
"Before a copy of reality is completed, it will affect reality and cause many strange things to happen. This is not without precedent."
He paused for a moment, then concluded, "A copy has appeared in Wa City. Right, Miss Witch?"
Upon hearing this, the brown-haired woman still did not respond.
However, the young man discerned the answer from her silence.
"Your abilities are really convenient; you can always seize the initiative." The young man invited again, "Aren't you really considering coming to my side?"
"Since you already know it's a dungeon, there's no need for further pleasantries."
The brown-haired woman said, "If we ignore these strange phenomena, it will affect our subsequent plans. Let's gather our manpower to deal with them. The arrangements in the East District must not be disrupted."
"We really need to deal with this. If we miss this opportunity, it will be much harder to control Fan Xiao later."
The young man did not refute, but looked at Brother Biao and asked, "Where is the source of the paranormal phenomenon? Have you found out?"
"We haven't had time to launch an investigation yet."
Brother Biao replied, "However... based on the calls from my subordinates, the problems are most frequent and severe at the factory, far exceeding those in other areas."
"Not only ordinary people, but even the players I placed there encountered ghosts and monsters. They attacked, but to no avail."
“Judging from this, the source should be in the factory,” the white man said. “Leave this to us.”
"No, it's better to leave it to us."
The handsome young man laughed and said, "You guys are in charge of dealing with Fan Xiao, and we'll handle the other troubles. That's fair, isn't it?"
"..." The white man glanced at him, did not insist, and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Sitting in the middle, Brother Biao watched the two bickering and sneered inwardly.
It's as if you're some kind of responsible person...
In reality, isn't it just about seizing the initiative in the emerging dungeon?
The reason he didn't argue was because he knew his own limitations.
but……
He wouldn't let go of any opportunity to reap the benefits without effort.
……
After the impromptu meeting, the white man and the brown-haired woman returned to the eastern part of Wa City.
Upon arriving at the temporary base, the white man said to his companion, "We've never had a close look at the data related to the developing replica, which is, in some ways, more important than the 'capture plan'."
"If we can gain the upper hand and control some permissions of this instance, we can acquire an instance base."
“Strange phenomena are occurring throughout Wa City. I suspect this instance… will be quite large once it's completed. We can't let people from other areas have it!”
"I know."
The brown-haired woman wearing a witch's hat nodded slightly: "Regardless of whether we can gain anything from it, it is necessary to send people to investigate and seize the initiative. I will lead the team to do this."
"Yes, I'm at ease leaving it to you."
The white man nodded: "I'll keep an eye on the East Side. The bait has been laid out for quite some time now, so our target should be biting by now."
The words had barely left his mouth when suddenly, a huge explosion came from all directions, followed by a continuous roar.
It was as if an army had suddenly attacked this place.
……
On the second floor of an old guesthouse in the eastern district of Wa City.
Song Qingshan bent down slightly, pulled back the curtains, and looked at the street outside. Everything seemed normal.
Turning around, he met the gaze of two sisters and said, "There are no suspicious people outside, don't worry, we are safe now."
Upon hearing this, the older sister, who was dressed fashionably and had waist-length hair, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! We finally escaped from those devils! Thank you so much, Song... I'll still call you Qingshan, it's more friendly that way."
"Don't call me that, you don't deserve it."
Song Qingshan puffed out his chest, squinted, and said, "Don't try to get close to me, you brainless fangirl. I only saved you out of humanitarian concern."
elder sister:"……"
The long-haired woman's eyes twitched violently a few times.
Suppressing her anger, she tugged at the clothes of the short-haired girl next to her and muttered, "Xiaotong, your classmate... is really peculiar."
“He wasn’t like this before.”
The girl with short hair and delicate features looked at Song Qingshan and sighed softly, "He used to have a very gentle personality, and his figure... wasn't as big as it is now, you could even say he was very thin."
Looking at Song Qingshan's nearly two-meter height and his explosively bulging muscles... Su Tong felt that her words were not very convincing.
"and."
Su Tong continued, "Sister, you really are a bit brainless. You came all the way here for a tourist just for an internet celebrity who is not very good-looking... If you hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this kind of thing."
"Who would have thought that a popular blogger with so many followers would be a member of a fraud ring!"
The long-haired older sister, Su Qian, complained, "Besides... his singing voice is indeed very captivating. I only like his singing voice; everything else is probably just a case of liking the house because of its owner. Now that I think about it, that guy really wasn't good-looking; he was dark-skinned and sleazy..."
"Well, we've already escaped, so let's not dwell on what happened before."
