Chapter 148: Discovering the Official Player
‘It is very likely that there are official players in the Violet Eye. ’
The setting sun was shining brightly. After sending Xia away, Li Feng slowed down and walked in the garden of Storm's End.
As early as the last game cycle, due to the evil fall of the official player Zhihe.
Official player No. 97, who was at the same time as him, once reminded players living on Storm Island to be careful in the chat channel.
At the same time, he also told other players that the violet eyes would catch the paper cranes and told everyone not to worry too much.
Later, the Violet Eyes Mission that captured Paper Crane encountered a storm at sea and needed to be delayed. Official player No. 97 actually knew this very well.
Since No. 97 knows so much about the dynamics of the Violet Eyes Mission, it can be inferred.
Among the envoys visiting Storm's End this time, there was actually an official player.
And maybe, that official player is No. 97 at the same time as him.
He could sense that the person coming behind him was looking for him. Li Feng remembered that the person seemed to be an apprentice of Violet Eyes.
‘Is this person going to be an official player? ’
Li Feng guessed that he was thinking from the official perspective of the player world.
For the game world, what do officials need most?
Let official players become stronger, complete every system task, and prevent disaster from happening?
This is for sure, but the question is, what methods will they use to make official players stronger?
‘Relics, secret treasures, and the information network to obtain them? ’
There must be more than one official player, and they are distributed in various locations in the Endless Sea.
Under the official unified arrangement, they are like undercover agents, obtaining all useful items and information in the game world.
'Undercover...'
Li Feng silently recited these two words and felt his heart suddenly light up.
Thinking of the person a little far behind him who seemed to want to strike up a conversation, Li Feng began to predict.
‘If this person just asked some questions related to the ancient troll, then he must have thought wrong.
But if he asks me about other things, then his identity can be questioned. ’
Thinking of this, Li Feng mentally prepared himself, then turned around and walked to the garden fountain, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands.
The slightly cool water fell on my hands, dispelling the last trace of heat in the evening.
But Li Feng didn't really want to wash his hands. He just made an excuse to wait for the people behind him.
Sure enough, Qi Heng, who had been following behind, quickly caught up with Li Feng.
He introduced himself as Perry and was Alton's apprentice. He came here because he had some questions about trolls and wondered if he could ask Li Feng for advice.
After all, they are just polite words for the occasion.
Li Feng also wanted to test him, so he generously sat on the bench with him and chatted with him about the troll issues he had questions about.
Qi Heng is a criminal police officer and a team leader among official players. He is a person who has strictly received official training.
Moreover, he had made enough mental preparations before coming, so his conversational skills were almost flawless.
Ask questions humbly, be confused about the answers, and then suddenly realize it after you get the answers...
After that, they branched out from the answers to personal resumes, found common topics, unearthed the highlight moments in the other person's life, and showed strong interest...
Then, use questions to guide the other person to tell or brag about their highlight moments.
And then he showed shock and exclamation to satisfy the other person's vanity.
This can make the conversation more friendly, build relationships faster, and get more information.
Within half an hour, Qi Heng had already chatted with Li Feng on many topics, starting with a few questions related to trolls.
Moreover, the superficial relationship between the two seems to have changed from strangers to very close friends.
Li Feng didn't take it seriously either.
Because he is now more and more confirming his conjecture. The person named Perry in front of him is most likely an official player.
In the world of the Endless Sea, it is naturally beneficial and harmless to get to know an official player without revealing your identity.
However, Li Feng is currently just guessing about Perry's identity, and he needs further verification.
Following Qi Heng's words, Li Feng brought the topic to what he saw in Fengxi City some time ago.
“Some time ago, I heard someone talk about something strange.
He said that there was a person in Wind's Breath City who was normally normal, but suddenly one day, that person behaved abnormally, as if he had become a different person.
He often said things that even his family and friends could not understand, and what was even more strange was that the man had to spend all his money to buy a secret treasure. "
"Oh? There is also such a thing. Is he cursed by something in the sea?"
Li Feng described the state of a player without leaving any trace.
And Qi Heng listened calmly. Even though he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all. He also speculated whether the man was cursed.
Seeing this, Li Feng continued the topic just now:
"Cursed? Maybe it's true, because just a few days after that person showed abnormality, he disappeared inexplicably and no one could find him."
Li Feng hinted that the Governor of Storm Island was arresting players. If this person named Perry was also a player, he would understand immediately.
And Li Feng did not lie about this matter.
As early as the last cycle, he had witnessed with his own eyes that people from Storm's End secretly captured a player who could speak Chinese.
He warned in the chat channel at that time, but in order not to reveal his position at that time, he did not say which island's governor was arresting the players, but just asked everyone to be careful.
But today, as a non-player, he talked about this matter in reality to Qi Heng, who he suspected was an official player.
If he is really an official player, then this incident will serve as a reminder to the officials.
And if he is not a player, then this matter will be regarded as a joke that no one will care about.
As for now, he needs to take a closer look at Qi Heng's reaction.
"disappeared?"
Qi Heng showed a kind of surprise that had nothing to do with him, and then he continued to speculate that it had nothing to do with him:
"What happened later? Did that person accidentally join some cult organization and be kidnapped?"
Li Feng shook his head, indicating that the story ended here, and the person who talked to him about it did not say anything about what happened next.
However, seeing Qi Heng's reaction, Li Feng hesitated.
Because he behaved too calmly and normally, official players should not be like this when they hear about things that endanger players.
If he is faking, then this person is either an experienced police officer or an experienced fraudster.
But when he looked closely at Qi Heng's performance, Li Feng suddenly discovered a vague sense of familiarity.
That's the result of deliberate training.
Thinking back to his first life, during the zombie apocalypse, Li Feng was very popular among the officials in that life because he was immune to the virus and had retired status.
In the apocalypse, people's hearts will never be the same.
As a member of the officialdom, Li Feng had received training on speaking skills, expression management, and how to hide emotions before coming into contact with various forces and organizations.
So when he looked at Qi Heng now, he felt more or less familiar.
But his official player status is still ambiguous.
But Li Feng is not worried. Just like the historical materials he wants to read, the answers will come to his door.
As the sun sets in the west, the orange-red sky gradually turns into blue-purple, and night falls quietly on the earth.
Not long after Qi Heng looked at his pocket watch, he suddenly said that he was not acclimatized and had diarrhea again.
The excuse of diarrhea has been used to the extreme by his mentor Alton, but this is the first time Qi Heng has used it with Li Feng, so he thinks it is not a big problem.
After Qi Heng left, Li Feng opened the system's chat channel and put it aside.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Feng was about to get up and go back, but at this moment, a shadow was cast.
A woman who was a little taller than Li Feng and wore a purple robe walked up to him.
Li Feng was impressed by this tall woman. She seemed to be an apprentice of Violet Eyes just like Perry.
"Hello Mr. Rhine, have you seen Perry? He is Master Alton's apprentice and wears the same robe as me."
Bonnie, who has giant blood, asked Li Fengdao.
Li Feng nodded and said to her:
"I was chatting with Perry here not long ago, but he just had a stomachache and went to the toilet."
Bonnie suddenly looked serious when she heard that Qi Heng still had diarrhea. She thanked Li Feng first.
Then she muttered to herself, "I still have diarrhea, it's time to take medicine," and walked towards the toilet.
…
Dusk enveloped the sky, and a few stars lit up in the sky.
There was a gray and white clay pot on Huang Yanyan's dressing table. Suddenly, tongues of fire shot out of the clay pot.
As the fire suddenly appeared, a letter solidified in the sparks, and then fell to the table with a "clack".
The moment she saw the letter, Huang Yanyan immediately put the lid on the clay pot and unfolded the letter.
The letter was sent by team leader Qi Heng, who was delivering a message to all official players.
As for the content of the letter, Huang Yanyan couldn't help but open her eyes wide after reading it.
‘The Governor of Storm Island has discovered the player’s existence and captured the player who traveled to Wind’s Breath City? ’
Huang Yanyan originally knew that a player was exposed, but she really didn't expect that Penlos Fair also discovered the player.
And she was arresting players who were in the same city as her.
The incident happened right next to her, with almost no sense of distance. Huang Yanyan suddenly felt in danger.
She must be more careful from now on.
Moreover, according to Qi Hengxin's requirements, she must also immediately notify the players at the same time as her.
Let them also be careful of the Storm Islands, and their governor, Penros Fell.
0097: "Dear players, we have received information that the suspected governor of Storm Island has discovered the player's existence and successfully captured the player.
Please be extra careful on Storm Island, especially players living in Wind's Breath City, and be cautious in your words and deeds. "
As soon as such clear information came out, a discussion immediately started in the chat channel.
At this time, Li Feng, who was playing with the cinnabar cup in the room and keeping the chat channel open, saw this message and nodded with a slight smile.
‘Perry is indeed the official player. ’
…
"Wow---"
The sea water in the late night laps against the embankment again and again, and the moist waves bring bursts of coolness.
In the dark sky, the bright moon was shining in the sky, casting only a silvery light on the desolate lighthouse island.
At this moment, on the dark sea, two small wooden boats were filled with people.
The oars stirred up the water, and the small wooden boat floated towards the lighthouse island.
Because the distance was very close, within ten minutes, the small wooden boat docked, and Alton led Violet Eyes' group of people to quickly board the lighthouse island.
A theater of sadness with lights on the first floor is located there.
"Mr. Rhine said that the door of the theater will open automatically tonight. Is that true?"
A bald old man asked Alton.
His name is Primo, a third-level sixth-rank weaver, and one of the mentors of Violet Eye.
"The documents translated by Mr. Rhine should not be wrong."
Alton, the head of the mission, said.
He frowned and looked at the lights projected from the first floor of the theater. Accompanied by the joyful music, Alton continued:
"We will know soon whether we can go in."
Let Qi Heng, Bonnie and other apprentices wait outside. Alton led the weavers above the third level on this trip and walked into the main entrance of the theater.
In the extremely expectant eyes of everyone, Alton put his hand on the door of the theater and pushed hard.
A miracle completely opposite to last night appeared. When Alton only exerted light force, the heavy main door like steel opened by itself.
"The records in the historical materials are indeed correct."
"Mr. Rhine's translation is indeed correct."
Seeing that the main door in front of them had opened a gap that allowed one person to pass through, the weavers of the Violet Eye were very happy.
They could not help but sigh that they had escaped from a desperate situation.
After explaining it to the apprentices standing outside the door, Alton led the other mentors to enter the first floor of the Sad Theater one by one.
As all six weavers entered, the heavy main door of the Sad Theater suddenly closed silently.
...
"Hello, comrades, the information is due at 12 noon on August 17."
In the Wind's Rest Inn, Qi Heng was writing a letter with other players in his room.
He first narrated how their delegation had met the maester Rhine in the Wind's Rest Castle, and how Rhine helped them translate the ancient troll language historical materials.
Later, it was verified by facts that the historical materials and translations were all correct.
The mentors of the Violet Eye did enter the theater effortlessly on the second night when the lights on the first floor of the theater were turned on.
"But it's very strange.
They entered the theater at midnight, and there has been no news since then.
At 4 a.m., I and other apprentices found six mentors in the sea under the island.
They were in a very bad state at the time. Although there was no scar on their body, they always thought they were seriously injured and dead.
Moreover, since they were pulled out of the sea, their spirits have been on the verge of collapse.
Sometimes they were in pain and fear, and sometimes they silently recited some miraculous words that made people understand instantly.
My junior sister made some tranquilizers for them, which seemed to have a certain effect in a short period of time.
When their condition improved slightly, I I tried to ask what happened in the theater, but they all kept silent.
And what's even more strange is that among the six of them, three of them kept wrapping themselves tightly in quilts, looking like they were protecting their skin.
And the remaining three secretly recruited girls from the Flower Street in the morning.
But from my observation, they didn't seem to be doing it for pleasure, but to prove something.
In short, judging from the current intelligence, the things in the Sad Theater don't seem to want human lives, but they will cause great harm to people's spirits.
Even the third to fourth level weavers are not immune. "
After Qi Heng finished writing the letter, he threw it into the flames of the Fire Seal Orb.
Today he didn't need to find an excuse to slip away to write a letter, because now, in his mentor Alton's room, there was a beautiful girl from the Flower Street.
But Qi Heng felt strange in his heart, what kind of thing was this.
Thinking about the strange things that happened to the mentors from 4 a.m. to now.
Qi Heng was puzzled, but also extremely frightened.
What was puzzling was the state of the instructors, and what was extremely frightening was the unknown existence that had passed through the first floor of the theater before.
You know, among the six instructors who entered the Sad Theater last night.
The highest-ranked Alton was already a fourth-level weaver.
And the lowest-ranked Bald Primo was already a third-level sixth-level weaver.
The strength of the six of them was not low, and the combined strength was even higher, but after entering the theater, they actually...
This shows how terrifying the things on the first floor of the theater must be.
But what made Qi Heng feel even more terrified was.
In Fengxi City, there was actually an existence that was more powerful than the six weaver instructors of the Violet Eye and the things on the first floor of the Sad Theater.
Not only did he have an invitation letter and entered the theater in advance.
And it only took him an hour to pass through the first floor of the theater.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng couldn't help but start to guess who that existence was and what high-level rank he had.
But he thought for a long time and didn't come to any credible conclusion.
But the instructors were so crazy, and this was not a solution.
At this time, Qi Heng suddenly thought of Li Feng. Since he could accurately translate historical materials, could he also find a solution to the current problem?
With this in mind, Qi Heng immediately set off to visit Li Feng at Fengxi Castle.
…
The bright sunshine at noon in midsummer shines through the lush green leaves.
Li Feng sat at the desk in his room, looking at a pink lace ribbon in the sunlight.
At this time, he had a small cinnabar cup next to him, which he and Xia got after passing the first floor of the Sad Theater.
And this pink ribbon was the result of Li Feng fishing for the cinnabar cup.
Li Feng stroked the smooth ribbon with his fingers and found that the ribbon itself was nothing special.
This is the headdress that girls in this world usually use to tie their hair.
However, when he put the ribbon under the strong sunlight, a line of text appeared on the pink ribbon:
"If you like corpses, you should be interested in my stepdaughter.
