Chapter 295 Suspicion

No matter what purpose these people have in continuing their mission, this is undoubtedly good news for Xing Ze. He also wanted to get more information from them.

"Thank you, everyone, thank you so much." He thanked everyone present. "If you all leave, I really don't know what to do."

Kent reached out and patted Xing Ze's shoulder, and said in the tone of a team leader: "At least I won't give up on anyone easily. What's more, I like challenges, otherwise I wouldn't choose the career of explorer.

"Okay, the slogan has been shouted. Now let's get down to business. A good team needs a leader, at least one leader. In view of the danger of this mission, we should choose one as soon as possible."

Everyone present fell into deep thought after hearing these words, and Xing Ze secretly paid attention to the changes in their expressions. Serena lowered her head as usual, unable to see the expression on her face. Mike pretended to be thoughtful, but it was not difficult to guess from the gradually empty eyes that he didn't think too much.

Kelly focused her attention on Kent as always, and the answer she could give later was already clear. As for Lanny, he wasn't surprised, wasn't impatient, and seemed to have no desire to compete for the top spot.

Xing Ze couldn't tell what he was thinking. This was the disadvantage of meeting a peer. Many ways would be seen through, but many ways could not be seen through. In view of this, Xing Ze was the first to express his position and said: "I recommend Mr. Kent as the leader of the team."

"This is a really good idea." Kelly immediately agreed, "Mr. Kent has completed many tasks and must have rich experience. It would be perfect for him to lead."

The explorer glanced at Kelly with a smile and pretended to evade: "You think too highly of me, but I think Mr. Lanny is more suitable to be a leader. As a detective, he is a detective who imitates Sherlock Holmes. I have reason to believe that he is better than me." Wisdom and insight.”

"No, no. I'm more interested in the investigation itself than the management team. I'll leave the leadership position to you. As long as it doesn't restrict my investigation."

Kent spread his hands and looked at the remaining two people. Serena had no intention of objecting, and Mike raised his glass to indicate his agreement.

"Okay, okay, in this case, it seems that I can only accept the position of leader. Then let's talk about what role we can play.

"I'll go first. I have an off-road vehicle with strong horsepower and good driving skills. If you want to go somewhere, my vehicle can be shared. In addition, I am proficient in wilderness survival, tracking, and navigation..."

"We are in the city." Lanny interjected, "Is it really necessary to survive in the wild?"

Kent was not angry because his words were interrupted. He smiled and said: "In my opinion, this place with tall buildings and crisscrossed roads is as dangerous as the wild. In addition, I am also proficient in first aid. That's all for now, I can't Shake all the old shit out."

His adventurous and humorous words amused everyone, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The bearded Mike drank the last bit of wine in the glass and said: "I'm just a driver. I don't have any other skills. I can repair a few things. Oh, by the way, I play with guns. My marksmanship is, well, my marksmanship is pretty good. There's one more thing. A van.”

"You can be our driver and go shopping with the two newcomers." Kent immediately assigned a task to him, along with Xing Ze and Serena.

Mike was very happy to do this, "It's easy to say, if nothing else works, if you let me drive, I can drive it all day and all night."

After he finished speaking, Kelly continued: "I have a press card. This is very convenient and allows me to go to places you cannot go. I can also check some local newspapers and semi-public information from the police." file."

"Very good, miss." Lanni, who valued the investigation, was very concerned about this. "It would be great if someone could check the information. Otherwise, we would still have to argue with the police.

"In addition, I have to remind everyone, don't forget that the world I live in is a magical world. Hogwarts, Harry Potter, magic, wizards, magical animals... these things greatly increase the difficulty of investigation.

"If this matter involves the wizarding world, I don't think it's useful to just investigate it in the real world. Have you all seen Harry Potter?"

Mr. Detective gave everyone time to answer. Except for Mike, everyone more or less understood what the world of Harry Potter meant.

"Indeed." Kent said, "It would be much easier in the ordinary world. It's a pity that we don't have anyone here who can contact those wizards."

"About this." Xing Ze interjected in a low voice, "I may have some ideas."

Everyone looked at Xing Ze, especially Serena. The shy girl asked aloud: "Have you met Harry Potter in person? Ron, Hermione, and...and Dumbledore?" "

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I haven't been to Hogwarts yet. But I have been to St. Mungo's."

As he spoke, Xing Ze took out the reports on the previous four corpses from his handbag, "The corpses of my former companions were all sent to St. Mungo's for autopsy. This is the report. I tried to make a copy of it. Come out. It’s not that complete, but it’s enough.”

"I didn't expect you, a newcomer, to be very useful." Kent reached out and took the report.

Lanny's face was full of suspicion, and he asked Xing Ze: "Can I ask you an ordinary person, um, it should be a Muggle, right. How did you, a Muggle, enter St. Mungo's?"

"In fact, I'm not a Muggle, I'm a Squib."

"Squib?" Hearing this word, everyone's eyes were focused on Xing Ze again.

It's not their fault. According to Xing Ze's research, when entering this game, the software will make some subtle modifications based on you, but most people will only draw the identity of ordinary people.

And a very small number of people will have the identity of a Squib, which means they can contact the wizarding world. As for wizards, they rarely appear.

Therefore, investigators with the identities of Squibs and wizards are quite popular in the game. Otherwise, those Muggle investigators who can't contact the magic world can only turn to organizations for help.

But those organizations can't help you for free. Sometimes they will charge a part of the game points, and sometimes it is an extra task. But no matter what, these two conditions are quite unpopular.

"Ah, now I understand why Frank and Julia let you, a newcomer, join the team." Kent said with a smile, "Look, Mr. Detective, the mystery is solved."

The suspicion on Lanny's face has slightly decreased, but Xing Ze knows that he still won't believe him, but as Kent said, this is a team, as long as he can gain the trust of most people in the team, then these doubts will naturally disappear.

Of course, if the doubts are still there, he has other ways.

In the next two hours, they discussed various things again until they made a corresponding plan. Xing Ze reluctantly guided this group of rabble to Brichester.

Although Lanny wanted to stay in Liverpool for a longer time to conduct the necessary investigation, he had to succumb to the decision of the team.

This is the benefit of the team. Lanny is indeed a sharp and intelligent detective, but he also understands the rules of the game. It is difficult for a lone ranger to succeed.

Of course, the trip to Brichester was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and there is no guarantee that Lanny will find out something.

So just in case, after coming out of the restaurant, Xing Ze went directly to the police station to find Rayburn and Burke and informed them to hide his identity for the time being.

Although Burke had some complaints about this, he reluctantly agreed to this request after getting Xing Ze's guarantee.

Xing Ze had to ensure that the investigation team would follow his own pace instead of wasting time in Liverpool. They might be able to investigate something here, but even Frank's team suffered, let alone this mob.

Before getting the necessary information, Xing Ze had to let as many members of the team survive as possible so that he could get a way to return to the original world from them.

At nine o'clock that night, in a high-end hotel in Liverpool.

Kent lit a cigarette, he looked at the white and soft body on the bed, and slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth.

Kelly pulled the quilt and sat up from the bed, straightened her messy hair, then climbed to the bedside table and reached out to take the cigarette on it, which showed her beautiful back and plump buttocks.

Kent felt his inner desire being ignited again. He licked his dry lips and reached for the wine glass on the coffee table. The amber whiskey shone with a different brilliance under the yellow-orange light.

"Why do you want to stay?"

Kelly lit a cigarette and replied unhappily: "You are really good at picking topics."

"I'm just curious, beauty. Although this mission is well paid and gives a lot of game points, it's not enough to risk one's life."

"I won't leave unless Selina leaves."

"I didn't expect your feelings would be so deep."

Suddenly, the curly-haired lady laughed. After laughing for a while, she replied, "I'm kidding you. Our feelings are not that deep. I have my own purpose."

Kent took a sip of wine slowly, "Is it really okay to tell me the truth like this?"

"Humph, aren't you the same? Those who stayed behind are all making their own calculations, I'm not stupid. Since you brought up this topic, it means there is something to discuss, so hurry up and say it."

"Before that." Kent stood up and brought a glass of wine to Kelly, "The weather is getting hotter, isn't it?"

"You are such a gentleman." Kelly reached out to take the wine, and the quilt blocking her chest slowly slid down, revealing the beautiful scenery, but she didn't care.

"I want to cooperate with you."

"Me?" Kelly was a little confused. "Shouldn't you cooperate with the detective? He looks like he has some skills."

Kent sat on the bed, his eyes wandering over the body unscrupulously. "The interesting thing about this game is that you can't check the other party's information. This means that even if the other party lies, you can't know."

"What does this mean?"

"What this means is that in the game, don't trust anyone except yourself. You may not believe the S-level mission I did, but there are indeed traitors in the team."

"Traitor? But, but everyone's rewards and points are calculated separately based on comprehensive performance." Kelly frowned and said, "There is almost no conflict of interest between players, so there is no benefit at all to betray the group."

"Indeed, there is no direct conflict of interest between players, but their tasks will be different. Some people receive tasks to find a way to get rid of all members of the team."

"Really? I thought this was a cooperative game. You know, dealing with those lunatics and those damn alien creatures is enough for me. Now you tell me that I have to be wary of my teammates."

"I'm not exaggerating. Many people around me have encountered this situation. That's why I want to cooperate with you."

Kelly drank the wine in the glass and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I am the traitor?"

"You? Don't be kidding." Kent laughed, "I usually don't make mistakes when judging people. Compared with you, I suspect the detective more. And the new guy who sent out the distress signal."

Hearing this, Kelly became interested She put out her cigarette in the glass, and then wrapped around Kent's solid body like a snake, "I expected you to doubt the detective, but are you sure about the newcomer?"

"Not sure, just a feeling. A newcomer, a newcomer who knows nothing, finally survived the last mission. If it were you, would you believe it?"

"Didn't he say that he was always excluded? In my opinion, the two level six investigators and the remaining few are not low in strength, so it really doesn't matter whether he is there or not."

Kent's calloused hands gently stroked the back of the woman in his arms, and the originally white skin turned into a more seductive wheat color under the orange light.

"Maybe that makes sense, but even if he was excluded, he couldn't have known nothing, right?"

"But, didn't that guy prove himself by showing his cell phone? The missions were all sent by him, and we all saw it."

"Yeah, what an idiot. Fortunately, we were the only ones who saw the cell phone, otherwise, it would definitely attract hounds." Kent cursed, "It's clearly written in the introductory manual that when completing missions in other worlds, it is forbidden to let the natives see things they shouldn't see. Otherwise, it will attract time hounds.

"I really don't know what these newcomers are thinking. They can't even do this. I've heard of many newcomer teams being wiped out for no apparent reason, and most of the reasons are that they encountered hounds.

"That's off topic. He showed us the signal, but he didn't show us the character information. Think about it, my beauty. This guy doesn't seem to know anything, but he's very efficient. Do you think those death reports are so easy to get?"

Kent's hand went lower and lower, and Kelly couldn't help but groan. She patted his chest in a complaining manner and said, "You sounded so real, I almost believed you."
