Since they were going fishing next, they had to find a place where the fish lived first.
Zhang Heng drove back to the place where the fish were accidentally captured in the surveillance video.
The area was actually quite large, and it was a matter of luck for the two of them. It didn't matter where they started. Zhang Heng parked the Polo in a parking lot, turned off the engine, got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the game props and equipment that he would use that night.
"You forgot your weapon." Shen Xixi got out of the car, stretched, and tossed the light saber that came with her costume to Zhang Heng.
She seemed to be in a good mood tonight. In fact, even she didn't know why. She just felt relaxed when she was with Zhang Heng, and she could even slack off. As the leader of the team, she must always keep her mind clear and maintain accurate judgment. After the union was established, she had to think and deal with more things. She was confused before this. At first, she wanted to unite the power of the players to protect ordinary people from the threat of supernatural forces.
But when the union was established, things began to become complicated. Whether it was the conflicts between the internal groups or the external friction with the major guilds, everything snowballed. As a result, most of her energy was used to deal with these things that had nothing to do with her original intention.
Therefore, when the union was disbanded, she wasn't as sad as others thought she would be. Instead, she felt relieved that she could go back to doing what she wanted to do.
Shen Xixi realized that she seemed to be a little distracted. She turned around and asked Zhang Heng, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"Hmm."
Since he would have to face this challenge sooner or later, there was no point in delaying it. So, Zhang Heng did not hesitate and pressed the switch at the bottom. The next moment, the blade in his hand lit up, emitting a red glow. Just like in the movies, it was accompanied by cool sound effects. Hit twenty.
"Wow, this is what a big villain should look like." Shen Xixi took half a step back and admired it. "Sorry, can I take a picture as a souvenir?"
"Whatever. They won't be able to tell it's me anyway," Zhang Heng said helplessly behind the mask.
Shen Xixi took out her phone, stood beside Zhang Heng, slightly tilted her upper body, pressed the shutter, and quickly took a photo.
"If I remember correctly … this should be the first time we took a photo together," Shen Xixi said while checking the photo.
"I think so."
"The good news is that your lightsaber is quite photogenic. Alright, let's get to work."
…
Although it was called work, it was actually just loitering around and waiting for Master Yoda, who represented the light side, to come out and punish the dark emperor. He had to admit that this plan sounded like a fantasy, but considering that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had recently left the sewers and wandered around the streets, it seemed like nothing was impossible.
The two chatted as they walked along the river beside the parking lot. Of course, most of the conversation revolved around this incident.
"I have also watched the previous videos, and I agree with you. No matter who the mastermind is, he looks like a childish guy, and I'm more inclined to believe that this is the behavior of a player. Based on the strength the Sphinx showed when we were chasing it that night, it could actually kill the person who answered the riddle wrongly, just like in the myth. However, it didn't do so. Instead, it used a relatively light punishment, making the whole thing look more like a prank. Whether it's because he doesn't want to attract the attention of the police, or because he's not a bad person, or because he has been abiding by the rules of society for a long time, it makes him less dangerous to society."
"Hmm." Zhang Heng adjusted the mask on his face.
"But Dumbledore lost control that time," Shen Xixi said. "According to 1810's description, I think he went through a mental battle at that time, but in the end, he still let Dumbledore come back and capture Yogurt. This is what worries me the most. I have been dealing with supernatural incidents before, and some of them are caused by monsters, just like the thing that can control the wall that we dealt with together. However, most of the supernatural incidents are actually caused by players. I don't know how the organizing committee selected the players, but one thing is for sure: the players are very complicated."
"That's true." Zhang Heng recalled the players he had met before and nodded.
"Whether it's the game items or the gifts that the agents get, they are all powers that go beyond the rules of nature. Many people don't have enough self-control like you and me to control this power. Based on the incidents I've come across, many of them started as pranks. Gradually, when they get some kind of pleasure from it, or a sense of satisfaction that overrides everything else, things will start to change."
"Are you worried that Dumbledore's incident will make the guy behind the scenes realize that he can use these robots to do more than just create a few beloved characters to bring a little joy to his boring life at night?"
"Yes." Shen Xixi said, "I want to find that guy as soon as possible. Not only to save Yogurt, but I also want to see if I can guide him back on the right track before things get out of hand." Shen Xixi then looked at Zhang Heng again. "Do you think I'm a little nosy? Many people have said the same thing to me."
"No," Zhang Heng shook his head. "It's a good thing to have faith. Just do what you think you should do. Don't care about what others think."
"What about you? What's your faith?" Shen Xixi asked curiously. "You are calm, meticulous, clear-headed, and powerful, but I can't figure out what your standpoint is. I'm even a little curious about whose agent you are."
"Is this some kind of compliment?" Zhang Heng asked.
Shen Xixi seemed to have made up her mind. Before Zhang Heng could finish, she quickly said, "You were the one that night, right?"
"Huh?"
"On the night of the war between the union and Arc of Light, I always had a hunch that the mysterious sniper was you."
"I don't remember showing any marksmanship in front of you."
"It's just my guess. I really don't have any evidence to prove it. So if you don't want to admit it, there's nothing I can do. It doesn't matter. I owe you a lot anyway. It doesn't matter." Shen Xixi stopped and looked at Zhang Heng's eyes behind the mask. "Hey, do you know? Someone reminded me to be wary of you."
"Uh-huh." Zhang Heng snorted.
"Uh-huh … what do you mean?"
"What do you think?"
"If one day you really get lost in the dark, no matter how far you go, no matter what great evil you commit, I will never give up … I will find you," Shen Xixi said seriously under the night sky. Shen Xixi said seriously under the night sky, "Because I am such a nosy person."
