Zhang Heng did not choose to fly directly back to the city where his school was located or transfer to his hometown.
Even if a horrible accident like a plane crash couldn't kill him now, he didn't know how many people knew about his identity. So, he tried his best to keep his itinerary low-key. In the end, he chose to land at Hongkou Airport, borrow someone's ID, rent a car, and drive back to school.
He didn't go to the game checkpoint to look for the bartender lady. He didn't even contact Ma Wei, who was still tutoring. Instead, he went to the storage point to grab the Shrouded Sheath and the Pestilence Bone Bow. After that, he took advantage of the time halt and drove out of the city that night.
He drove the car to his and his grandfather's residence. Since his grandfather was now in Ireland, the place was dark. Zhang Heng opened the door with his key and walked into the room.
Before his grandfather left, he cleaned up the house. The chairs and cups were washed and neatly arranged, and there was almost no dust in the house. Zhang Heng walked around the house and didn't see any signs of an intruder. However, he still didn't let down his guard completely, and he searched the yard again.
In the information sheet exposed on the Internet, his address was listed as the school's address, even down to the dormitory number. However, there was no information about the house in his hometown. Still, Zhang Heng didn't feel at ease. After all, this was an information society. As long as one was willing to put in the effort, it wasn't difficult to rely on one or a few pieces of information to find another piece of information.
So even if Zhang Heng didn't find any signs of an intruder, he still didn't plan to stay here.
He just wanted to take a nap before the time halt ended. After that, he put on some makeup and tried to cover up his original appearance as much as possible. After that, he drove away before the extra 24 hours were up.
At 00: 17, Zhang Heng parked his polo in front of the KTV he was looking for. After that, he walked straight in under the nose of four burly security guards. He passed the counter in the hall, ignored the front desk's inquiry, and went straight to room 2306.
The last time he came here, a bunny girl with a hot body and a sweet smile stood by the door outside the private room. This time, however, it was replaced by two burly men who were even bigger than the security guards outside, and their waists were bulging.
Zhang Heng showed them the number on his arm, but they didn't move away. Instead, they motioned for Zhang Heng to raise his hand.
Zhang Heng stared into the eyes of one of the burly men, causing the latter to pause.
"One person," Zhang Heng said.
The strong man nodded and asked his companion to stand at the door. He then continued to walk forward and reached out his hand to touch Zhang Heng's body.
The reason why Zhang Heng agreed to the body search was that he could tell that the burly man wasn't targeting him. He was just doing his job. And if the burly man really had a problem, and it was directed at him, he could use his extraordinary reflexes to subdue the man if he was alone.
The burly man quickly searched Zhang Heng's body and nodded at him, "I'm sorry. We just received news that one of the game checkpoints was attacked. Fortunately, there weren't many players there, so the casualties weren't too serious. However, the other checkpoints have also strengthened their defenses."
"Do you know who did it?"
"The committee is still investigating," the brawny man said and retreated. Clearly, he did not intend to say anything more.
Zhang Heng didn't ask any more questions. He walked into room 2306 and saw the receptionist cleaning a double-barreled shotgun. He was still wearing his usual Hawaiian-style beach pants and slippers, but he had put on a bulletproof vest over his short-sleeved shirt.
Because Zhang Heng had put on makeup, the receptionist didn't recognize him. "How can I help you?" he asked, holding the shotgun.
"I want to identify two things," Zhang Heng said.
"No problem. I'm happy to help." Seeing that there was business at his door, the man agreed without hesitation. However, he still didn't put down the shotgun in his hand. Since Zhang Heng was new here, he patiently explained, "The situation has been a little turbulent recently. We are on the eve of war, and unfortunately, I am the weakest among all the game checkpoints. At the same time, my partners don't seem interested in protecting me. So, I have to protect myself."
When he mentioned partners, he glanced at a group of women dressed in skimpy clothes. He had learned from the beach pants uncle that these KTV princesses were actually a group of succubi. However, their relationship with the beach pants uncle was rather strange. They were not his subordinates, and the two parties were just partners. These succubi provided some relaxation services to the beach pants uncle's game checkpoint to earn points. They would also give the beach pants uncle some commission as venue fees, but they would never listen to his orders.
Sure enough, when they heard this, one of them spoke up, "We are not your bodyguards. Why should we ensure your safety?"
"Because … you still want to make money on my territory?" the man asked cautiously.
"If you die, we will just find another checkpoint to stay at. If it weren't for your commission, we wouldn't have come here," the succubus said.
Her words heartlessly broke the man's heart.
While the two of them were talking, another girl dressed like a wild cat also spoke, "Have we met somewhere before?" Her question was directed at Zhang Heng, and at the same time, a pair of gem-like eyes stared at Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng recognized the succubus named Jia Jia when he first entered the checkpoint because she gave him her phone number last time, but he never called her.
Jia Jia's words reminded Zhang Heng of something else. The last time he came here, Jia Jia seemed to have noticed something different about him. She even proposed the idea of borrowing his seed, but he refused. When the girl saw that Zhang Heng did not answer, she asked again, "Why do I feel that your scent is somewhat familiar?"
"You must have remembered wrongly. We haven't met before," Zhang Heng said calmly.
"It's a pity. If you come here any other time, I would like to get to know you," Jia Jia said, "but now we are considering leaving this place."
"You are leaving?" Before Zhang Heng could speak, the man was shocked. "Don't do this. I'm not dead yet, and you have already found your next target? Even if you are heartless, you can't be this heartless. "
"It's not like we're going to leave this place forever. We're just going to lie low for a while. It's your fault that this place isn't safe. Of course, if you really die, we won't be coming back," the succubus who spoke earlier said.
