The Western Sword guild's spaceship slowly flew in the universe. Inside the cabin, Melancholic Prince and the guild members surrounded the 3D star map, analyzing the route.
"We're currently in this area …"
The Melancholic Prince pointed his finger on the star map and drew a glowing path along a desolate universe belt at the edge of the star field until he crossed the border of the star field. He said, "Don't worry about it.
He then said, "If we want to leave the Star Field, we can only go through the desolate universe belt. The three Universal Civilizations will always have gaps in their defenses at the border. Although we have the three Universal Civilizations' defense and patrol maps, we still need to rely on luck …"
Hearing the president explain the plan, the guild members present nodded.
After accepting the anonymous employment of five million Enas, Melancholic Prince came up with some plans to successfully transport the virus out. Among them, seizing the gaps in the defenses of the three Universal Civilizations and sneaking out was the most feasible way.
In order to not be locked onto by the three Universal Civilizations, the Western Sword guild had already cut off the public link and kept the spaceship in stealth mode.
Logically speaking, they would not be able to receive any information from the outside world and would become a group of blind people. However, Melancholic Prince made use of his characteristics as a player to log into the forums and secretly hire other players to provide information through the forums at any time. This was how he obtained the three Universal Civilizations' defense and patrol maps in the Ancient Star Desert. Even if the quantum network was cut off, he still had a source of information to pay attention to the outside world.
This way, not only could they prevent the three Universal Civilizations from locking onto the nodes through the network, but they could also receive information from the outside world at any time. Compared to ordinary people, the players did indeed have a huge advantage. It was no wonder the Kepel Financial Group chose to hire Immortals.
This time, a player said, "President, the closer we get to the border, the denser the space monitoring buoys will be. If we fail and get discovered, the spaceship will definitely be detained. We only have one chance to catch the three Universal Civilizations' patrol."
"So, we have a plan B."
Melancholic Prince had a confident expression on his face. He chuckled and said,
He then chuckled and said, "Once we're discovered by the buoys or patrols, we'll use the infiltration tactic. Only a few of us will stay in the spaceship, and the rest will go offline. When the spaceship is locked up in the warehouse, the remaining people will inform us to go online in the vehicle and infiltrate the enemy's base. This way, we can sneak in the infected communicator."
Everyone nodded in agreement. This move would also take advantage of the players' characteristics. It would make use of the online and offline mechanism to create a time difference. It was very suitable for missions like hiding, ambushing, and smuggling.
He also had a backup plan if he was exposed. That was, he could only reluctantly give up the spaceship and die in a bloody battle. Then, he would be revived in the stronghold that he was bound to. This way, he could still think of other ways to carry out the mission. There were many opportunities for trial and error … Anyway, the reward was five million. As long as he could complete the mission, it would be easy to buy another spaceship.
With so many advantages, the members of the Western Sword guild were very confident in completing the mission. It was as if they could see 5,000,000 Enas waving at them.
As for the possibility of becoming a fugitive after being exposed, no one really cared. They had always been in the gray industry and were as black as dust. They had no intention of washing their hands clean. Being a fugitive could even trigger a milestone mission. The higher the bounty, the higher the reward.
No one cared about the losses caused by the leaking of the virus to ordinary people. Instead, they felt a sense of excitement. Most of the players who supported the spread of the disaster had such thoughts.
The Melancholic Prince was full of confidence.
He said with a smile, "Okay, since no one has any objections, we will act according to this plan. Because we cannot use the stargate, we will spend a lot of time on the road. We estimate that we will enter the desolate universe belt in seven days. Now, I …"
At this time, before he could finish, the spaceship's alarm suddenly sounded.
"Woo, woo, woo, warning! The spacetime in this area is stable. Hyperdrive is not possible. Automatically exiting hyperdrive mode! "
The spaceship suddenly shook. Everyone was shocked and could not react in time. They all fell to the ground and got up with a shocked expression.
"What's going on? There is actually a spacetime anchor here? Whose trap did we fall into? "
The Melancholic Prince was shocked and hurriedly looked at the radar screen.
At this time, light spots suddenly appeared on the radar screen. The stealth mode was deactivated, and a pocket-shaped formation surrounded his spaceship.
Everyone hurried to the porthole and scanned the starry sky outside. Suddenly, their expressions changed drastically.
They saw that there were dynasty battleships all around them, and their cannons were all aimed at their spaceship.
"The Red Empire? Are they here to capture us? "
The Melancholic Prince and the guild members immediately panicked.
"Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed? But we clearly did not hit any buoys on the way! Also, how did they know that we were planning to smuggle the virus? "
After being stunned for a few seconds, the Melancholic Prince suddenly came back to his senses.
He hurriedly shouted, "Stop daydreaming. Everyone, quickly go offline. Don't be …"
Before he could finish, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Don't be what?"
Everyone's body stiffened, and their necks stiffened as they turned to look at the center of the cabin.
A tall black figure had appeared inside the spaceship at some point, and his eyes were flashing with lightning as he scanned them indifferently.
This face was all too familiar to the players!
"Black Star!"
The Melancholic Prince was shocked.
Everyone present was stunned. They originally thought that even if someone came to capture them, it would only be some regular fleets and Supers. No one would have thought that it would be someone as important as Black Star himself!
While he was panicking, the Gloomy Prince also felt a subtle sense of flattery.
The next moment, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and a dazzling aura exploded.
Boom!
The energy shockwave spread out and slammed everyone against the wall.
Han Xiao had controlled the damage, and this attack was not very powerful. It was mainly to make the players enter combat mode and not be able to go offline.
"I'll fight you to the death!" The Melancholic Prince gritted his teeth and pulled out a slender alloy rapier. He then slashed it toward Han Xiao's throat.
Players were not afraid of death and dared to attack anyone. Even if the opponent was strong, it was impossible for them to just give up. The Melancholic Prince wished that he was killed by Black Star so that he could revive somewhere else, such as in the Main City, and not be captured.
However, such thoughts were useless in front of Han Xiao, who was familiar with the characteristics of the players.
He casually grabbed the rapier and snapped it in half. Then, he grabbed Melancholic Prince's head and threw him to the ground. Melancholic Prince was inflicted with a Stunned debuff.
Han Xiao carefully controlled his strength, afraid that he would accidentally kill the Melancholic Prince. He had no choice. Although the players were much stronger than before, they were still as fragile as bubbles in front of him.
Han Xiao did not let the others go either. He did not need to use machinery. With his current physical fitness, he could heavily injure this group of players with a few punches and kicks. He then took out the Immortal Binding Rope … ahem, the Electromagnetic Binding Chain and tied everyone up tightly.
The dynasty's battleships surrounded the spaceship and controlled it tightly. The dynasty's soldiers boarded and searched the spaceship.
A large pile of mechanical products piled up into a small hill. Han Xiao inspected them and found a few communicators that were infected with the virus. He glanced at the dejected Depressed Prince and his group and slowly said, "I'm not sure.
"You are suspected of smuggling the Virtual Mutiny Virus and endangering public safety and the order of the universe. Now that you have been caught, do you have anything to say?"
"No, I have sinned deeply. People like me do not deserve to live in this world. I plead for the death penalty!"
Melancholic Prince said righteously. Those who did not know him would think that he wanted to sacrifice himself for justice.
Han Xiao secretly rolled his eyes. "You're so naughty …" Han Xiao secretly rolled his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly paused, chuckled, and said, "Are you guys curious?
"Are you curious as to why the Empire knew that you were hired and set up a trap here?"
Hearing this, the people from the Western Sword Guild also realized that this was a job from the black market. Logically speaking, it should have been very secretive and should not have been leaked.
"You guys have been monitoring our communications?" Melancholic Prince guessed carefully.
"No." Han Xiao shook his head.
"Then … did someone leak the information?"
"Not really."
"Then what is it?" Melancholic Prince was confused.
Han Xiao smiled and faced everyone's curious gazes. "Of course, it's because … the person who hired you is the dynasty."
“！！”
These words were like a bolt from the blue. Melancholic Prince and the others trembled. Their jaws almost fell to the ground, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What did you say?"
Melancholic Prince almost jumped up in shock. His face was filled with disbelief.
"Our anonymous employer is the three Universal Civilizations? How is that possible? What reason do you have to do this? "
Han Xiao chuckled and casually said, "What do you think?
The three Universal Civilizations already knew that there would definitely be people who would ignore the big picture and try to hide and smuggle the virus. Therefore, the three Universal Civilizations also sent people to spread the job on the black market to expose the restless elements and make it easier to capture them. Do you really think that the three Universal Civilizations will let the black market get away scot-free when facing a disaster? "
Melancholic Prince was dumbfounded. He was annoyed at being tricked, angry at being tricked, and regretful at falling into the trap. At this moment, he only wanted to roar at the sky.
You guys are baiting the law!
Looking at everyone's sorrowful expressions, Han Xiao's smile became more and more playful.
The employer behind this group of players was naturally not the three Universal Civilizations, but he purposely said this to implant the players with the impression that he was baiting them.
As long as this group of people made a post, those chaotic evil players would be able to calm down a little. This was because no one could be sure that the job they received on the black market was real or a trap set by the three Universal Civilizations. With such preconceived suspicions, the number of players who dared to take the risk and cause trouble would definitely decrease greatly.
By capturing this group of people, they would be able to set an example and achieve twice the result with half the effort, saving a lot of effort.
In short, this was a drastic move.
Han Technician was not just bluffing. In fact, he was also planning to implement this plan of baiting the black market.
However, in order to achieve this, he first had to control the black market channels. Otherwise, the black market would definitely destroy this plan in order to protect their own reputation and would not cooperate.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao took out the Spacetime Amber and smiled kindly at everyone.
"Since the evidence is conclusive, then … you can serve your sentence."
Melancholic Prince was shocked. His face was filled with panic as he struggled with all his might.
"No, no, no … I beg you, please don't use the Spacetime Amber. I beg for the death penalty, let me die! Don't … don't come over! "
Unfortunately, Melancholic Prince's struggle was futile. Under the panicked gazes of the others, his expression froze and was sealed in the Spacetime Amber.
Han Xiao did the same and sealed all the Western Sword Guild players who were rolling on the ground begging for death. The entire guild was captured in one fell swoop.
"That's enough. It's enough to intimidate the other players."
Han Xiao clapped his hands.
He had already tested the effects of the Spacetime Amber on the players. The players' consciousness could still freely log in and out of the game, but their bodies would not disappear like when they went offline. Instead, they would be fixed in the amber. It was equivalent to not being able to change the location where they went online. No matter how many times the players logged in, they could only return to the body sealed in the amber.
This meant that as long as the players were sealed in the Spacetime Amber, they would not be able to use their own characteristics to escape imprisonment using tricks such as logging in, out of the game, and resurrection. It was like being punished for cheating. They would not be able to move or escape.
It was impossible for these players not to have thought of the consequences of being caught, but they had an inexplicable confidence. First, because they could resurrect elsewhere after death, they felt that the chances of being caught were very small. Second, because they were lucky that the disaster did not befall them, everyone thought that they were lucky.
Han Xiao was not surprised by this. Just like how some people wanted to cheat even though they knew that they would be banned, they deserved to be punished.
He did not plan to release the Western Sword Guild so easily. He wanted to use this method to intimidate the others and make an example out of them. He wanted to let the others see the consequences of getting their accounts banned, so as to curb the evil trend on the forums. He wanted to get rid of the pests in the vegetable fields so that others would not lead the potential leeks astray.
Similarly, he was not worried that these players would not post on the forums. Their bodies were sealed, so they could not do anything. What else could they do other than flood the group chat?
Furthermore, these people had fallen into his hands. With the players' personalities, they would most likely want to take revenge. As long as they believed what he said, the only way to take revenge would be to expose the so-called baiting law enforcement and destroy the three Universal Civilizations' plan.
The situation was under control.
Han Xiao shook his head with a smile. He summoned Philip to hack into the artificial intelligence of this spaceship and searched through all the communication records.
The true identity of this anonymous employer was also the target of his investigation.
Philip's efficiency was very high. Following the clues of the quantum network, he quickly found clues of the anonymous employer.
"Master, hum … I've found it. This employment was issued by a broker organization as the intermediary guarantor. This broker organization is one of the managers of the black market. They have a very good reputation and are deeply trusted by countless black market mercenaries and employers. They can be considered the black market's version of the mercenary alliance. Therefore, there should be clues about this employer. However, this broker organization has been the manager of the black market for many years. As the intermediary guarantor with a long history, they will not leak the employer's information, hum … "
Han Xiao glanced at the information and nodded to himself.
He had also heard of the name of this black market broker organization. It was a very reputable black market manager. Many black market hires came from this organization.
It could be said that although this organization claimed to be neutral, without their consent, those anonymous employment against the virus would not have been able to circulate on the black market.
They were undoubtedly involved in the crimes of adding fuel to the fire.
"Looks like I'll have to start with this black market manager first …"
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He turned around and patted the captain's shoulder.
"Let's go. Our destination is this broker organization's headquarters in the Ancient Star Desert."
…
At the same time …
Just as the dynasty fleet was heading to the next destination, Depressed Prince, who was sealed in the Spacetime Amber, logged onto the forums and posted without hesitation.
Just as Han Xiao expected, Depressed Prince used the tone of a victim to warn others and take revenge on the three Universal Civilizations. He angrily exposed the three Universal Civilizations' 'baiting law enforcement' operation …
