Chapter 141: The Dangerous Heretics Treatment Authority

Mu family villa.

Muke took a deep breath, and looked at his father who had just hung up the phone: "Dad, did the professional hacker you found find the address of these people? Who the hell are they?"

"No." Father Wood also locked his brow and seemed to be deep in thought, "The other side is very protective, there's no way to locate the exact address."

Muke's eyes flicked from side to side, a quick thought process, and soon he looked up again, "What if it's not the address of the other base, but a specific person's information that can be found?"

Muke's father asked a few questions in English on the phone, turned to Xiang Muke: "Yes, but we need specific information such as phone numbers, names or photos, but we don't know any of that, and they had their shields on when we arrived, so we couldn't take any photos, the surveillance was out of order, and they were wearing tight masks ......"

"I can draw them out." Muke interrupted, looking at Muke's father with surprisingly bright eyes, "A 3d facial bone structure should be enough to scan for their exact identity, I can restore this."

Father Wood was quiet: "Just a few minutes ago, did you write down the skeletal structure of everyone's face?"

Muke said, "Yes dad."

Father Muke whispered into the phone and looked at Xiang Muke: "Yes, is there any information you need to be particularly concerned about"

"Are there any people who need money urgently, or who have bad habits, such as drinking or gambling, or who are getting married, or who have just had a baby, or who have elderly family members who are not well."

Muke speaks quickly, "Anyone who can predict that he's about to have a big outlay will do, I need the kind of candidate who is easily impressed by money or extraneous material things and can give me information."

Muke's father makes another understanding gesture to Muke, then hangs up after a quick explanation into the phone.

He turned his head and looked at Muke, who was breathing heavily and whose chest was heaving, with a very complicated look: "This Bai Liu, he did a lot of other things besides saving you, didn't he, Ko? Do you have to be involved with him?"

"It's not that I have to be involved with him." Muke lifted his eyelids slowly, his voice held the breathy note of rapid breathing which made him seem weak, "Dad, he makes me feel like I'm alive, and if he dies, my soul dies with him, and he's very, very important to me."

Muke's father was silent for a while, then patted Muke on the shoulder and said, "I'll help you, you need cash right, I'll let you get it for you now, how much do you want"

"It depends on how much money these people who are coming to get me really want to be impressed." Muke says calmly.

Inside the King's Guild.

Wang Shun looked a little confused as his system received a red notice.

[System Alert: An anonymous invitation has been sent to you by a King's Guild Premium player, inviting you to meet him at the game portal]

[Meeting Code: Long time no see, old friend]

An invitation from a premium access player is something that a mid-level guild like Wang Shun has no way of refusing.

Wang Shun made his way to the game's entrance with a lot of suspicion, but saw no senior guild players around that he was familiar with, the only one he looked familiar with was Mu Sicheng.

Mu Sicheng saw him too and waved at him with a fake smile and a greeting, "Long time no see, old friend."

Wang Shun subconsciously tried to raise his hand to return the greeting, then he realised something with a jolt.

Wang Shun felt something against his rear end, which made Wang Shun throw his hands up before his brain realised that this was a game lobby where players couldn't hurt each other.

A little girl's sweet, laughing voice came from behind him, "Don't worry, I can't hurt you here, but this is the game login, I can force you into the game, and it will be easy to do what I want to do to you then, Wang Shun."

Wang Shun's back was instantly wet with cold sweat, he recognized the voice and bowed his head very obediently and lowered his hands, "Little witch, Queen Hearts is looking for you, we can discuss anything you want with me, I will serve you unconditionally, after all you are an important player in our team, but would you like to go and talk to Queen Hearts first? But would you like to talk to the Queen of Hearts first?"

"The Queen doesn't seem to be in a very good mood because of your affairs."

Wang Shun's comment was clearly a veiled threat to Liu Jiayi with Hearts, but Liu Jiayi was unmoved, simply snickering and pushing him towards Mu Sicheng against Wang Shun's rear end.

Mu Sicheng wraps his arms around Wang Shun's neck, looking like he knows him well enough to hook up with him, but in fact he is secretly dragging him towards a corner.

Mu Sicheng dragged Wang Shun into a corner and pinned him against the wall, his hand jammed into Wang Shun's neck and slowly tightened, his tone was cold: "We need to ask you a question, specific information about [The Withered Rose Hunter], what is his name, where does he live, what is his core desire to enter the game? What, you should be able to find out all that with your skills, right?"

"Ahem." The feeling of being strangled in the throat, even though he knew he wouldn't be killed, was unbearable for Wang Shun.

The pressure from Mu Sicheng was so heavy that it caused Wang Shun to suffocate in his chest without being hurt, and he held Mu Sicheng's wrist and tried to pull it away, but it wouldn't budge.

Wang Shun began to choke and cough and his voice became hoarse: "I can't tell you that this is an act of rebellion!"

"Rebel meeting or go into the game now and I kill you, take your pick." Mu Sicheng lifted Wang Shun up by his throat, his eyes cold and tyrannical, "I don't really want to waste too much time on you, will you talk?"

Liu Jiayi tilted her head with her hands behind her back, her tone sweet: "I haven't taken you to level 2 yet, Wang Shun, do you want me to take you this time?"

Take him to what? To hell?

Wang Shun looked into Mu Sicheng's eyes, and the intense surge of emotions within them formed a black vortex that Wang Shun felt himself swept up in, even as he felt a realistic wave of dizziness - Mu Sicheng would really find a way to kill him in the game.

"Ahem! You guys put me down first! Put me down so I can talk to you!" With Wang Shun pulling hard, Mu Sicheng finally withdrew his hands.

He thrust his hands loosely into the pockets of his tracksuit jacket and swept a contemptuous glance at Wang Shun, who was crouched on the floor coughing woefully: "I can't even touch you."

But I'm intimidated by you - something embarrassing like that is something Wang Shun couldn't have said anyway.

Because of his "Know-it-all" scrying skill, Wang Shun is more sensitive to other people's emotions than ordinary people, and just now Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng's strong malice made him shudder and he chose to confess.

"I don't know all the specifics of the person whose skill identity is called [Withered Rose Hunter]." Wang Shun spoke as he calmed down.

Mu Sicheng swept over with another vicious glance and as he brought his hand out of his tracksuit jacket and looked about to strike again, Wang Shun took two sharp steps back and continued quickly, "But I also know some information that you might find useful."

Mu Sicheng quickly questioned, "What news?"

Wang Shun warily put his hands in front of his chest to prevent Mu Sicheng from grabbing him, "My personal skill is called [Know-it-all], it can detect the basic information of the opponent, but this skill is not universal, and I can't find out all the information of the opponent at any time, it requires certain conditions."

Mu Sicheng started to get a little impatient: "What are the conditions, get to the point!"

Wang Shun's eyes wander: "To me, everyone is like a computer, and I'm like a hacker who needs to get past the [firewall] inside the computer in order to steal information from it."

"But everyone's [firewall] security level is different, and the strength of the [firewall] is also different when the other person's emotions and attention are at different stages, for example, take God Mu you for example, before, I couldn't easily steal the information inside you because your emotions and attention are very focused and stable, your [firewall] is solid and firm, and it was very difficult for me to steal information from you."

At this point, Liu Jiayi, who had been listening all along, turned his head sharply to Mu Sicheng and shouted, "Stupid! Calm down your emotions! He's about to steal the information in your head!"

"Ha" Before Mu Sicheng could react, he was led away by Wang Shun.

"But now there's a hole in your attention-" Wang Shun's eyes changed as he quickly pulled up a notepad from his system panel, "Sorry God Mu . "

The notepad was like a terminal display code for a computer, and suddenly a lot of characters were output from it.

Wang Shun quickly skimmed through the ten lines and saw the message on the notepad before Mu Sicheng lifted him up again, and Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and slammed Wang Shun against the wall: "I fucking... "

Wang Shun exhaled and quickly opened his hands and raised them in a gesture of surrender as he looked steadily towards Mu Sicheng :

"You're going to save Bai Liu, aren't you? He's been captured, and if you're going to do that, maybe we can talk terms."

"Put him down." Liu Jiayi ordered with an expressionless face, "We've lost the initiative."

Mu Sicheng grinds his teeth hard and eventually lets go.

Wang Shun dropped to the ground and he stood up patting the non-existent ash off his body: "I can tell you what I know, but I need a guarantee when you save Bai Liu."

Liu Jiayi asks, "What guarantee?"

"If I am judged as a rebel by the King's Guild for leaking information to you, and I know too much, the Queen is bound to find a way to will hunt me down." Wang Shun smiled bitterly, "At that time, it would have been nice if Bai Liu could have accepted to protect me."

"...... That's all the guarantee you need?" Liu Jiayi frowned, "And you're willing to take the risk of defecting to help us save Bai Liu? You know what rebellion means, don't you?"

"No one knows better than I do."

Wang Shun took a deep breath, "I helped the King's Guild screen many, many newbies with potential to come in, using my skills to help the King's Guild grab a hold of these new players' inner desires and then coax them into joining, I've seen too many newbies rebel after joining to find they've been cheated."

"Most of these players from the Rebel Society, for the most part, have disappeared from this game." Wang Shun went silent.

Liu Jiayi looked up at Wang Shun: "So what, why are you helping us?"

Wang Shun said, "Because Bai Liu is my favourite player out of all the players I've screened and so far I've never broken his [firewall]."

In a very sophisticated and sincere tone he said, "I'm looking forward to the day when he becomes a god."

"...... So you're the fan of this Bai Liu guy?" Mu Sicheng looked at Wang Shun with a strange expression.

Wang Shun shrugged his shoulders indifferently and smiled a little: "You could interpret it this way, I was his first loyal viewer and I wanted to see his TV stay lit until the end, even beating the Kings Guild."

"For this goal, you must be good and bring him out of the hands of the [Rose Hunters]."
