Using a spy to set up a trap was a very simple tactic. Having hung around Wuji for so long, Wang Yu was no stranger to this sort of behavior.
Clearly, Thousand Wave Hall knew that there was a spy from the Secret Pavilion in their Guild. That was why they did this.
"Perhaps."
With Wang Yu's reminder, Insight Heaven's Secrets nodded his head gloomily. It was such an obvious trap. If he still couldn't see through Insight Heaven's Secrets, he would be an idiot.
However, Unfathomable said, "City Lord Tie's words make sense, but I don't understand. If they wanted to set up a trap for the Secret Pavilion, they would've given me the Dark Order from the start. Why did they have to run?"
"You'll have to ask the person involved." Wang Yu thought for a moment. Then, he and the Secret Pavilion's two fellows turned to look at Hatake Fifty Percent.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Hatake Fifty Percent was stunned. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I … I don't know …"
"You don't know?" Secret Seer asked with an unfriendly expression. "You're from Thousand Wave Hall. How could you not know?"
"I …" Flustered, Hatake Fifty Percent said, "When your people surrounded us, the boss gave me that thing and had my sisters cover me … I don't know anything else."
Seeing Hatake Fifty Percent's expression, Wang Yu didn't think he was lying. Hence, he asked, "Then why did you go to Yu Huicheng?"
"At the time, we were surrounded near the Setting Sun Valley. Our boss told me to run to Twilight City. At the time, I was afraid that the people from the Secret Pavilion would snatch the Dark Edict, so I gave it to you," Hatake Wu Wu Kai replied.
"Oh?"
Secret Seer rubbed his chin thoughtfully when he heard Hatake Fifty Percent's words.
On the other hand, Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Damn!
What the f * ck, getting someone to deliver the item to Wang Yu from across the main city, this was obviously targeting Wang Yu himself.
Unfathomable also noticed something amiss. Puzzled, he asked, "Could it be that Thousand Wave Hall's people are targeting City Lord Tie?"
"That doesn't make sense." Heaven's Secrets also said in confusion, "Yu Huicheng and Salatt are separated by a faction, and there is no interaction between the two main cities. How could City Lord Tie be targeted by Thousand Wave Hall?"
"No!" Hearing this, Wang Yu said, "There must be someone in the Thousand Wave Hall who knows me. Not only that, but he is very familiar with my personality and knows my habits like the back of his hand. This is definitely not a random guess."
From Hatake's words, it was not difficult to infer that Wang Yu was tricked into a place of no return. It was definitely premeditated.
Setting Sun Valley was an advanced leveling area. Ordinary players would not stroll around there. If Yu Huicheng's players appeared there, it would definitely raise suspicions. However, it was a player from a neighboring main city who was being chased there. Everything seemed reasonable.
Moreover, the other party had predicted that not only would Wang Yu not stand by and watch Hatake Fifty Percent fight, but he would also deliver the Darkness Token to Salatt City. Clearly, the other party had direct contact with Wang Yu and understood Wang Yu's personality.
Moreover, Hatake Fifty Percent had appeared when Wang Yu was leveling up. It was clear that the other party had a clear understanding of Wang Yu's movements in the game.
Apart from this, even Secret Seer's interference seemed to be within the other party's expectations.
His strategy of anticipating the enemy's moves and linking them together seemed simple, but he was leading his target by the nose step by step.
In Wang Yu's long time playing the game, Wuji was the only one who could use such underhanded methods … Moreover, Wuji and Wang Yu had been together for so long that he understood Wang Yu's personality and habits very well.
Thinking about it carefully, it was extremely terrifying.
"That's impossible … Is Wuji so bored that he would actually trick me?"
At this thought, Wang Yu shook his head violently, throwing out this unreliable deduction.
Wang Yu absolutely trusted Wuji. After all, Wang Yu understood Wuji as well as Wuji understood him. Doing this would not benefit Wuji at all. Putting aside their relationship, even if Wang Yu was a passerby, Wuji would not use his brain on Wang Yu.
Who was it, and why?
For a moment, Wang Yu was even more conflicted.
Secret Seer exclaimed gloomily, "F * ck! If that's the case, then they're not targeting us. We've been tricked … No, I have to write the word 'injustice' on the wall to express my feelings. "
"Tricked?" Wang Yu said calmly. "That can't be … It's obvious that the other party is targeting you as well."
"Targeting us?" Secret Seer asked. "Why do you say that?"
Wang Yu said calmly, "Because before you came to the resurrection point, I had the Dark Order in my hands. If the Thousand Wave Temple was only targeting me, they would have made their move then. Why would they wait for you to come and mess things up? It looks like they predicted that you would come, so they specifically waited for us to make our deal. They wanted to catch both of us in one fell swoop. "
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it … "Just as Wang Yu finished speaking, Secret Seer suddenly exclaimed as if he had thought of something." I met a few people on the way to the resurrection point. One of them also said something along the lines of 'catching both of us in one fell swoop'. "
"Oh?" Wang Yu asked. "Who was it?"
"I didn't see it clearly, but the person I fought wasn't weak. He had a curly moustache," Secret Seer said.
"Moustache?" Wang Yu frowned thoughtfully. He seemed to have seen such a person somewhere before.
"Then what did they say?" Secret Seer also asked.
Secret Seer said, "I didn't understand the specifics, but they roughly said that as long as you have the Dark Order in your hands, you'll definitely be able to catch all of them in one fell swoop. At that time, there were many of them, and they were all quite skilled. When I saw that I couldn't beat them, I decided to commit suicide. However, I was still too late."
"My condolences …"
Wang Yu consoled Secret Seer sympathetically, then said, "We didn't know each other before, but now their target is you and me. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Secret Seer stood up and pointed at Hatake. "Why don't you just ask her?"
After saying that, Secret Seer took out his dagger and walked up to Hatake with an unfriendly expression. He said fiercely, "Tell me, what are you ugly, black-hearted people up to? Do you see the resurrection point over there? I'm bored anyway, so I don't mind killing you for fun. "
Seeing this, Hatake Five Five Open said in horror, "I … I don't know. I'm just a normal player in the guild responsible for 'sweeping the floor'. I do whatever the boss tells me to do. I don't have the right to know her secrets."
Sweeping players were a type of professional players, slightly higher than gold collectors. Their main job was to lure monsters, then transport the equipment obtained by other players to the city and bring back potions for the other players in the party. This way, they could reduce the time that players had to travel back and forth to level up, increasing the efficiency of leveling up.
The characteristics of sweeping players were also very obvious. They were weak and fast … In order to lure monsters, they had to be long-range classes, and most of them were archers.
Hatake's fifty-fifty chance was completely in line with the characteristics of sweeping players.
Wang Yu had also been a gold collector before, so he knew that these low-level professional players had a tough life. When he saw Hatake's fifty-fifty chance and remembered how the boss had scolded her in the city, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel that they were both in the same boat.
"Alright … Don't force her. How could she know?" Wang Yu waved his hand and stopped Secret Seer.
Secret Seer asked in disbelief, "City Lord Tie, she's the culprit who got us into this place. You believe her?"
"It's not a question of whether I believe her or not." Wang Yu said, "You also know that there's no way out of this place. If she knew everything, she wouldn't have been locked up with us."
"This …" Secret Seer was stunned when he heard that, and then he put away his dagger.
Indeed, everyone played games for fun. Being locked up in this dungeon was equivalent to being imprisoned for life. There was no fun in that. Any normal person would not make such a huge sacrifice.
As for professional players, it was even more impossible. The game was a world where people could get rich at any time. Although the salary of sweeping players wasn't high, it was still a stable income. If one day they managed to get a godly item, they would become rich. Naturally, they wouldn't kill the goose that laid the golden eggs for the sake of a small profit.
Hatake's eyes were filled with gratitude when she saw that Wang Yu chose to believe her. She whispered, "Brother Iron Ox, although I don't know what the boss means, I don't think they're targeting you."
Not attacking Hatake didn't mean that he had nothing against her. Secret Seer was immediately displeased when he heard that. He curled his lips and said, "That's interesting. If they weren't targeting us, they would've locked us up. If they didn't want to see us, they could've just left. Why would they use such a method to imprison us? Are you still trying to clear your master's name at a time like this?"
"I didn't …" Hatake resisted weakly and lowered her head.
When Wang Yu heard their words, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Little Five should be right. The Demon King Fungus doesn't seem to be targeting us."
"Then why?" Secret Seer was dumbfounded.
If they weren't targeting them, they would be sentenced to life imprisonment. If they were targeting them, wouldn't they be looking for a GM to ban their accounts?
Wang Yu said calmly, "I'm guessing they're targeting others. They're afraid that we'll cause trouble, so they locked us up."
"Big Brother, we're in different camps. Do we have any common acquaintances?" Secret Seer asked.
Wang Yu said, "I don't know how many people you know, but I'm only familiar with Quanzhen's group."
"I'm not familiar with the gods of Quanzhen either." Secret Seer muttered, "Why do you have to lock me up?"
"This …" Wang Yu thought about it and said, "Locking you up should be a preventive measure."
