After Zhang Heng escaped from the bottom of the pool, he returned to the cave and quietly eliminated the two teams there. At the same time, he met the mute old man, but then he found out that the little girl did not return after dark as promised.
So Zhang Heng comforted the mute old man. First, he went to his cave to process the arrows that he had made earlier. After that, he looted some ammunition and a rifle from the corpses of the two squads. After doing all this, he returned to the hillside, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Heng found a string of strange footprints on the ground. The owner of the footprints came alone, but when he left, there was a string of small footprints beside him.
Zhang Heng knew that the little girl should have been taken away by the person who came.
However, when Zhang Heng looked at the time on his hand, he was not in a hurry to rescue her. If he guessed right, the little girl would be taken away by the search team. The group of people entered the mountain to hunt him down. Presumably, they would not make things difficult for a little girl. Once they asked him about his whereabouts, they would most likely let her go.
On the contrary, if he rushed to the rescue in such a hurry, the group of people might think of his relationship with the little girl, and it would make it more difficult for him to rescue the little girl.
So Zhang Heng finally decided to wait for a while, waiting for the search team to send the little girl back to the cave. After that, he looked at the starfish on his wrist again. There was less than an hour left before midnight.
Zhang Heng walked in the direction of the pool again, and soon, he saw the drones in the sky above his head again. Because he had killed some of the drones earlier, the number of drones was significantly reduced now. And because it was night, the visibility was much worse than during the day.
With Zhang Heng's stealth skills, he could easily avoid the buzzing little things above his head.
However, when he returned to the pool, he found that it was exceptionally quiet. Zhang Heng's eyes swept across the rows of tents, but he saw no one outside the tents. After a while, four people walked out of the tent in the center.
One of the leaders was a man wearing sunglasses. He held a little girl in one hand and a red conch in the other.
After he walked out of the tent, he patted the conch twice, and then put his mouth on it.
The next moment, a voice came into Zhang Heng's ear. The voice was very close, as if someone was leaning against his ear and talking.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me … Hello, I don't think I have introduced myself. My code name is Commander, from Silver Wing, and I am the chief commander of this capture operation."
The man who claimed to be the commander paused and continued, "You don't have to worry. I am not around you. The reason why my voice can reach your ears is because of something called the Sound Transmission Conch. To be precise, this thing does not only transmit my voice to you, but to everyone within five kilometers. At the same time, it only works for three minutes. So, I will make it short.
"I know that you are very unhappy with our operation this time. I can understand that you are probably thinking about how to get rid of us now. And we also want to have a good fight with the famous Simon. In that case, why don't we make it a little more straightforward? We will send three people to fight with you. You can get my guarantee that if you win all three games, we will leave this place immediately, and we will not harass you again. If you lose …" The commander chuckled, "Then there should be nothing else.
The commander chuckled, "Then there shouldn't be anything in the future. You can think about it. Oh, by the way, one more thing. Our people found a little girl behind a hill. Did you leave her there? You don't have to worry about her. We'll help you take care of her."
The commander reached out and touched the little girl's hair as he spoke.
By the time he finished his last sentence, the three-minute time limit was up.
"Do you think he will accept our invitation to a duel?" the man holding the Fire Kirin asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter. He will definitely show up. I don't know what their relationship is, but when Simon fought with us, he was worried that this little girl would be implicated. So, he deliberately placed her behind the hillside far away from the battlefield. We are using her as bait. There is no way Simon will sit back and do nothing."
"Actually, I don't quite understand …" another man with a rosacea nose said. "Simon is the c … erm, the master of R 'yleh's vessel. He knows about it, but he hasn't committed suicide yet. This means that he doesn't care if he destroys the world. If that's the case, why would he care about a little girl that he just met a week ago?"
Since the four of them were waiting for Zhang Heng to show up, they had nothing better to do. So, the commander patiently explained, "You guys don't know him. I have been collecting information about him. Of course, he has always been a loner when it comes to dungeons. It's not easy to find players who have worked with him before. However, he has a lot of teachers, classmates, and neighbors. As long as you put in the effort, it is easy to piece together his life."
"What do you see from this?"
"A lot of people think that his way of doing things is very chaotic and unpredictable. For example, his attitude toward worldly laws. Sometimes, he disregards the law, just like in the battle at Fu Lou. He could kill a lot of people without blinking an eye, and he could even drive a car and run amok on the road. Sometimes, however, he seems to respect the law more than anyone else. With his strength, he could have done many things without having to go through so much trouble."
"Isn't that chaotic and unpredictable?"
"On the surface, it may seem that way, but according to my observation, he is a very principled man. He doesn't abide by worldly laws, but his own code of conduct. All you need to know is that in his code of conduct, the master of R 'yleh is the one who wants to destroy the world. I don't know if he will pay for the mistakes of others, but this little girl … this little girl is in danger because of him. That's why he won't sit back and do nothing."
"He is willing to save one person but not the whole world?"
"That's about it."
"Psycho." The man holding the Fire Kirin concluded. After that, he sighed. "But this psycho is ridiculously strong. Are you sure we can kill him after luring him out this time?"
"I'm not sure." The commander shook his head without thinking. "But if we fail this time, it proves that we can't kill him at all. Everyone can call it a day and go home. Of course, that is, if we can make it back alive."
