Chapter 283 The First Wave

Opposite the German Embassy, ​​a young man was smoking on the sidewalk, playing with his phone, and occasionally glancing at the embassy gate. He looked at the time, and there were still three hours before the shift change. Throwing the cigarette butt into an empty can, the young man sighed and continued to watch short videos.

An SUV stopped beside the young man, and four strong men with Azure Dragon on the left and White Tiger on the right got out of the car. The young man was still confused, and the four strong men started to fight without saying a word. The guards at the embassy gate watched everything happening dozens of meters away without taking any action.

A black car stopped at the entrance of the embassy. Gui Yi got out of the back seat and opened a black parasol to block the gaze from the southeast. Shi Hao, who had been waiting at the entrance, bent down and got into the back seat. The black car then drove away, leaving Gui Yi behind. Half a minute later, a white car drove up to Gui Yi and Gui Yi got into the back seat.

Cui Jian drove the white car forward. Seeing Cui Jian trying to flip up the rearview mirror, Gui Yi said, "No need." Then he took off his shirt until he was left with a vest, put on a bulletproof vest, and then a white shirt. He picked up a wig from a bag and put it on his head, raised the rear seat mirror to look for a while, and put on his gold-rimmed glasses without lenses.

"All right."

Cui Jian looked back and could not say that he looked like the driver, but he should be able to fool the driver. Cui Jian said, "Fasten your seat belts." A dozen seconds later, Cui Jian began to accelerate and overtake the car in an S-shape on the road, triggering a lot of abuse. Five minutes later, the car drove onto the West Ring Road.

In Hancheng, where did Cui Duanzu have the geographical advantage? The only answer is: Xifeng Mountain. No criminal would know a mountain. This mountain has rocks, lakes, waterfalls, pine forests, mixed woods, wild grass, and caves of varying depths.

A box of Korean won was placed in front of Shengzi. Hailan looked at the little girl with a smile. She smelled the scent of a fellow countryman on Shengzi. Today, Shengzi's hair was messy and her eyes were gloomy. She looked a little mentally abnormal. Shengzi bit her nails, looked at the Korean won, and then looked at Hailan.

"For you." Hailan placed a room card in front of Shengzi: "I've booked a hotel villa for you for a week. All your expenses in the hotel can be deducted from the card."

Happiness came too suddenly. The little benefit Cui Jian mentioned turned out to be such a big benefit. Shengzi calmed down. There were not many things that should not appear in Xifeng Mountain. She had already put them in the secret compartment in the back seat of the pickup truck. Shengzi picked up the room card and looked at it for a while. Then she went back to her room without saying a word to pack her luggage.

Soon she left the administrator's office dragging her suitcase and a box of Korean won, and drove away from Xifengshan in a pickup truck. She didn't say a word during the whole process, kept her head down, and either bit her nails or glanced secretly out of the corner of her eyes.

After Shengzi left, Hailan took over Xifeng Mountain, and the first thing she took over was the intersection surveillance, which was one of the few surveillance cameras in Xifeng Mountain. The other surveillance cameras were all in the small square outside the administrator's office, including the parking lot.

Ten minutes later, ten vehicles of different sizes drove up Xifeng Mountain and more than 20 people got off. A director-like man held a megaphone and asked everyone to set up their tents in groups of four. He also explained the rules and said that they could not leave the square, otherwise they would be eliminated.

This is a collection of rule-based fantasy fans collected online 36 hours ago. These fans have to complete certain tasks every day and must not violate the basic rules and the daily changing rules, otherwise they will be eliminated. According to the number of days they survive, each person can get a bonus of 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, and up to 700 million. If you survive for three days, you can get 600 million. If you die on the third day, you can only get 300 million. The fourth day starts from 100 million.

Most of the staff of the organizing committee were selected by Hai Lan from the fans of the rules. With the support of the sponsor, they really played the rules game with these 20 people. As fans, they had been holding back their bad intentions for a long time, and they knew very well how to induce others to break the rules.

In the game, in addition to players, NPCs, and the organizing committee, there are also supervisors sent by the sponsors with black badges on their left chests. Their role is to supervise the rules and the organizing committee. Supervisors can enter any scene at will, but no one else can talk to them, otherwise they will be eliminated.

More vehicles came up one after another to set up the venue, arrange props, and install generators. Many members of the rule-based weirdo fan group actively went online, and someone was doing a live text broadcast in the group.

Several high-definition cameras were added near the administrator's office to continuously compare all faces that appear on the screen, so that strangers who are not entered into the system database can be found immediately. It is relatively difficult for criminals to blend into the game crowd.

Everything was quickly arranged, and then the criminals had to guess: Where is Shi Hao? First, they had to find Xifeng Mountain, and then guess whether Shi Hao was really in Xifeng Mountain? Then guess where Shi Hao was in Xifeng Mountain? Would he blend into the rules? Would he leave in a small truck delivering lunch boxes? Would he hide in a cave? Would he be at the administrator's place?

It is easy to kill someone but difficult to find the person who killed him. This is Cui Jian’s summary of the killer’s profession.

Bodyguards in movies always wait for the killer to come to them. Bodyguard Li Ran likes to set traps for criminals. Bodyguard Cui Jian likes to disappear. Based on the experience of killer Cui Jian, once the killer himself comes to the door, he must have evaluated the combat capabilities of both sides in advance, and mastered the information such as personnel deployment and traffic conditions. In short, when professional killers take the initiative to attack, the target mortality rate is very high.

For example, when Cui Jian was protecting Ye Zheng, he was attacked by the enemy, but the enemy was not a professional killer, but a group of gunmen. The gunmen only knew that Ye Zheng had bodyguards, and they had no idea about the bodyguards. The team also had no coordination due to lack of command.

In response to this, Cui Jian proposed to strangle the investigators.

Through the information from the traffic checkpoints, the criminals spent 12 hours to find Xifeng Mountain, and Cui Jian and Duanmu exchanged license plates during this period. In particular, Duanmu went the other way and took Shi Hao to drive slowly around the city for two hours. Cui Jian took the fake Shi Hao and ran through red lights all the way, speeding 100% to Xifeng Mountain.

Duanmu was sure that the criminals would not act rashly if they could not determine which car Shi Hao was in. This was also the shortcoming of killers like Ghost. They lacked the spirit of adventure and were rather rigid in their actions. Of course, this was not a shortcoming in most cases.

The ghost commander of this time is named Set, who is one-quarter Korean and has lived in Hancheng for more than ten years. Just when he gathered intelligence and set his sights on Xifeng Mountain, the technicians told Set a good news through the surveillance camera: three hours later, Duanmu Che also went to Xifeng Mountain.

It sounded like good news, meaning Shi Hao must be in Xifeng Mountain. But it was bad news for Sett, because Duanmu was very likely to have thrown Shi Hao to some corner of the city in the next two or three hours. He wanted to use all his resources on Xifeng Mountain, but was worried about being led by Duanmu. If he wanted to divide his resources to track Duanmu's whereabouts in the past three hours and search for suspicious places, he couldn't put his resources on Xifeng Mountain.

Seth decided not to look for Shi Hao, but Cui Jian and Duanmu. The first move was to send someone to infiltrate Xifeng Mountain, but soon the infiltrator replied that it was impossible to infiltrate. The organizing committee of the Rules Ghost Talk event had booked Xifeng Mountain and refused to allow strangers to enter. If they wanted to enter, they had to take the wild road.

The second method is to fly a drone. Unexpectedly, the organizing committee took into account the hazards of exposure to the scorching sun and covered the small square with a canopy, making it impossible to spy on the internal situation from the outside.

The third move was to bribe the insider. All the players who participated in the Rules and Talks had to hand in their cell phones. The organizing committee was not allowed to spread the news except for a few people. They could only establish contact with them by joining the Rules and Talks group. Someone successfully joined the group, but was kicked out after a few minutes because he didn't understand the Rules and Talks at all and exploded after a few words. Set decided to use all three moves. While continuously sending out drones to search, he sent people to the vicinity of the Xifeng Mountain from the wild roads, and at the same time tried to establish contact with the organizing committee and the players and let them act as sword butterflies.

Night is the favorite part of the Rules and Stories players. The organizing committee prepared a lot of content. However, with so many people gathered together, the creepy atmosphere was somewhat lost. Fortunately, this is the first live Rules and Stories, and everyone is just having fun.

The first day passed safely. On the second day, something went wrong. Many fans went to Xifeng Mountain to watch the fun. Set's people successfully infiltrated Xifeng Mountain. But Set was not happy because two investigators who wanted to go to Xifeng Mountain from Xifeng Lake on a wild road last night were missing. The murderer dismantled the investigators' locators and buzzers, and the investigators did not give any warning during the period, indicating that the investigators were most likely killed by a single blow.

How to play the rules game?

Take lunch as an example. The rules state the lunch time, what dishes can be eaten and what dishes cannot be eaten. For example, you cannot waste food and cannot eat eggs. You order a bowl of kelp soup, and soon you find that there is a boiled egg at the bottom of the kelp soup. At this time, it is equivalent to facing a dead end. Players have to start thinking about the many rules proposed by the organizing committee and looking for loopholes in the rules to escape.

How to crack it? The first way is to smuggle the eggs to others, so that you don't waste food and you don't eat eggs. The second way is that there is no rule that must die, such as you can use the rule that if you see someone fainted, you must send the person to the infirmary, and use fainting and sending people to avoid eating eggs. As for how to faint, there are also rules and constraints, it depends on how the player racks his brains.

The more difficult part is the incomplete rules, the true and false rules, and the competition rules. Every player has his own agenda, plotting against each other, and no one tells the truth.

The spy watched the one-hour lunch as an enthusiast, and at the same time he found Cui Jian, who was observing the crowd as a supervisor. However, when he noticed Cui Jian, Cui Jian seemed to have noticed him and immediately ran away, leaving the small square and heading towards Huanshan Road.

Seth immediately stopped the pursuit: "Don't follow, it's a trap." The ring road is a restricted area in the game, and if you follow it, you will be discovered. Seth immediately mobilized the drone to chase Cui Jian. When the drone arrived at the ring road, it did not find Cui Jian. It was obvious that Cui Jian had climbed over the guardrail of the ring road and entered the forest of Xifeng Mountain.

Q: Will bodyguards stay away from their employers? In theory, no, but in practice it is hard to say.

A minute later, the spy was stabbed in the thigh by someone in the crowd and fell into a coma without a sound. The organizing committee found out about this and quickly contacted an ambulance to send him to the hospital. They also sent photos to all groups: "Who knows him?" When no one answered, they contacted the police station. The police station could not find the identity of the spy, so they contacted the TV station. Thus, a ghost spy was exposed.

Misfortunes never come singly. An out-of-control truck crashed into a van parked near the Xifengshan intersection. The scene was extremely tragic, killing four people in the van. When the paramedics found the gun, they immediately called the police, and the two injured people were detained immediately.

After inspection, it was confirmed that the truck had brake failure, and the possibility of human damage could not be ruled out. After in-depth investigation, it was found that except for the driver, no one else had the opportunity to damage the brake system. The driver had no grudges against the van and was also injured. It was basically ruled out that the driver deliberately damaged the brake system and caused the traffic accident. In addition, the principle of presumption of innocence was followed, so the driver was not punished too severely.

Within 48 hours, two of the criminals disappeared, one was exposed, four died, and two were arrested.

Yiyi informed: "A number was found in the mobile phones of the two arrested people. I won't go into the technical process. The location of the mobile phone is in Guojia Hotel in Xifeng Town. However, we can only locate the plane information. We have no way of knowing which floor or room it is. Guojia Hotel is a low-end small hotel with five floors in total. Floors 3-5 are guest rooms. Only the surveillance camera at the front desk can be used."

Li Ran said: "The weakness of ghosts is that they can only walk in the dark and cannot be exposed in front of people, so let's expose him."

The first step is to bribe the hotel owner.

The second step was to bring someone to the door. The waiter opened the door, and the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right entered Room 301. After a commotion, someone apologized to the guest, claiming that they had found the wrong person, and left two million won as compensation. People who stayed at Guojia Hotel generally had low incomes, so they accepted the compensation.

We searched room by room, and if we encountered a difficult one, we could get rid of it by paying more money. After all, it was a small town hotel, and there were not many guests, so we quickly found room 505.

Eight strong men rushed in and transmitted images through the cameras they carried. Almost at the same time, they all confirmed that there was something fishy in the room. There were four people in the room, three of them were foreigners, and there were four laptops on the table, and instruments in a half-open metal box.

After the girl who had been following the muscular man got the notice, she pointed and said, “They are the ones who bullied me.”

"Brothers, come on."

"Misunderstanding, you got it wrong."

In the chaos, the four residents with bruised faces and noses pulled out their pistols, and everyone fled. The two people wearing gas masks waiting outside immediately threw stun grenades into the room. Eight stun grenades were thrown into the 8-square-meter room without any cost.

Four people filed in, two moved equipment and two took photos of the guests.

Shortly after they left, the police received a report and arrived at Room 505. The four people in the room were still unconscious, holding pistols. Following the police were reporters, and some TV reporters even began to broadcast live the process of the police destroying an illegal armed gang.

With the perfect cooperation between the security company and the special forces, the gang targeting Shi Hao was basically eliminated in less than 3 days. The Americans sent people to contact South Korea to secretly take these people away. As a ghost, being taken away by the authorities is worse than death.

So is the assassination attempt on Shi Hao over?
