Chapter 112: The solution
After hurrying over to the location, Feng Yu Chen saw the scene where a female player crumbled into data polygons. Like a slain monster, the female player disappeared from this world. Her real body most likely had her brain fried as well.
Feng Yu Chen felt a bit stressed. He can't go around telling the native players to look out for Infinity players. That would be stupid, he reckons no Infinity Player will blow their own covers.
If the natives of this world heard about Infinity players, they would most likely be eradicated first.
He also couldn't let this stuff continue. The player killings will destabilize the order in this world.
These murders will add unnecessary doom and gloom to the early-game.
"No, not me, don't kill me..."
A male player started freaking out as he mumbled while kneeling on the ground. He sounded remorseful and terrified.
"Who are you? What's your relationship with the deceased female player? Or... are you...?"
Feng Yu Chen questioned him.
"Ah..."
The male player backed away while hugging his head. He kept mumbling in a manic manner.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Feng Yu Chen decided he's not going to get any useful info from this player. He's lost to terror.. He's a very important witness to this murder. He's the only player left alive in this hotel. The NPCs here couldn't have done the attacks, they weren't programmed to do so. This witness is the key link between the murderer and the victim.
"Sorry, I need to take you in. I am Feng Yu Chen of the Wings of Freedom. I can't sit idly by when an event like this occurs..."
Feng Yu Chen said to the male player.
"What's the matter? Is this the perpetrator?"
Zi Yue Ling asked after returning downstairs.
"No, it must have been another player. The one who died is a female player. This guy is just at the wrong place and the wrong time. There must be some connection between them. Argh, this is so troubling, there are already killings inside safe zones..."
Feng Yu Chen rubbed his chin as he tried to come up with solutions
Red players, huh?
Zi Yue Ling locked her brows in a frown. Infinity Players cannot be revealed for now. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, they won't be able to rest easy either way.
"Okay, Zi Yue, go gather all the blue players we know. Say we need to discuss a very important topic. We have to cross-check the blue players first, they can also kill players. Clear the insiders then we move from there."
Feng Yu Chen gave his order. The war against the red players are about to start. The smell of blood will be a familiar smell soon enough.
Zi Yue Ling nodded.
"Okay, I have an idea that can stop the fear from spreading."
Stop the fear?
Feng Yu Chen followed up with her.
"Let us hear your idea. It better not be silly, you good-for-nothing adviser..."
