Chapter 925: Chapter 112: Death Game_3
Ma Bond then said, âIf we can encounter someone whoâs part of the game and get an understanding of the situation, it could help us eliminate this curseâŠâ
At first, his thought was to protect Zhao Yu from death, since heâs a rule-class spiritualist here on a trial mission.
The task assigned to him by headquarters gave Zhao Yu a higher priority than a grade F mission.
But now, he thought that simply throwing this F+ rule-class mission to the locals might cause significant damage, so he decided to gather some more intelligence before leaving.
Following Ma Bondâs line of thought, the team was divided into two groups, with one staying by the vortex channel awaiting additional personnel.
The other group went out to collect intelligence.
Originally, Ma Bond hoped Zhao Yu would stay put, but Zhao Yu insisted on going along and he could only agree.
Little did he know, Zhao Yu didnât see this Spirit World invasion event as something simple.
Unlike Ma Bond and the others, who only knew the basics about rule-class spectres, he was unaware of the underlying principles.
In Zhao Yuâs view, rules of this level could not possibly be created by a Tier 1 spectre.
It would require at least a second-tier, if not a Tier 3 level of power.
This also meant that, in the short term, it would be very difficult for them to get out, as theyâd at least have to go through one or two games.
After all, the company had regulations stating that only after armed personnel involved in a Spirit World invasion event had been out of contact for twelve hours would it be reported upwards.
Moreover, the personnel dispatched would be based on the monitoring situation.
They wouldnât send second-tier, let alone Tier 3 individuals, if they detected only the energy level of a peak of the first tier.
Therefore, theyâd have to send two or three waves of people falling into this trap before the higher-ups took notice and sent someone more capable.
During their last outing, Ma Bond determined that there was no danger as long as they didnât enter the game scenarios with colored pillars of light.
So he only left two people at the vortex channel and took the rest to gather intelligence.
âEveryone will act separately, mainly head towards the pillars of light to see if anyone has entered them and ask about the situationâŠâ
âBut, donât go inside the pillars just yet, wait until after weâve pooled the intelligenceâŠâ
âMeet back at the vortex channel in three hoursâŠâ
Ma Bond added, âZhao Yu, youâll be in a group with meâŠâ
Although he determined there would be no danger without entering the pillars, Zhao Yu had a very high priority and couldnât risk being left alone.
With Ma Bond, a peak of the first tier powerful being, for protection, Zhao Yu naturally didnât act difficult and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this relieved Ma Bond.
He feared encountering those who were ignorant of their own limitations, but fortunately, Zhao Yu was cooperative.
In this manner, the nine teams dispersed again, each heading towards the towering pillars of light.
Ma Bond, with Zhao Yu, headed straight for a white pillar of light not far away.
They had already visited an orange pillar of light, found no one around, and determined it was a two-star game scenario, so it was highly unlikely that anyone had gone in.
When the two arrived at the location of a white pillar, sure enough, they found four people outside, huddled and discussing something.
Noticing someone approaching, the four gave them a glance and then shut their mouths, apparently preferring not to let their conversation be overheard.
Ma Bond cleared his throat and shouted, âAre you guys also trapped here?!â
âWhat else?!â
The four shrugged their shoulders, obviously having encountered other people before, and werenât surprised to see Ma Bond and Zhao Yu appear.
âWhat were you just discussing?â
âNothing muchâŠâ
Ma Bond was speechless, finding these four quite difficult to engage.
âI originally wanted to mingle with you all as just another civilian, but since youâre acting like this, I have no choice but to reveal the truth to youâŠâ
The four looked at Ma Bond curiously, puzzled, âDo you know whatâs going on here?!â
âOf course!â
Ma Bond took out a credential, nodding, âI am an armed enforcer dealing with Spirit World invasion incidents, captain of Yan Cityâs ninth squadâŠâ
âWhat youâre experiencing now is called a Spirit World invasionâŠâ
He succinctly summarized the situation.
The four were half-doubtful, half-convinced; regardless of how they looked, the two seemed to be just couriers and might be deceiving them.
âIf youâre so powerful, can you get us out of here?!â
Ma Bond nodded, âCertainly, that was our purpose for coming. But before that, you have to tell me what you were discussing just nowâŠâ
âHow do we know youâre not just bluffing us?!â
One of the four was quite adamant, believing that Ma Bond was just spinning tales and trying to deceive them.
Ma Bond helplessly raised his hand, and in the next moment, with spiritual power surging, a blue flame ignited spontaneously.
âHoly shit!â
âWhat is this?!â
The four were startled.
âIs this some kind of magic trick?â
âHow did you do that?!â
Ma Bond stopped the spiritual power, his palm returning to normal as he explained, âWhat I just did was a spiritual power attachment, used for combating ghost spirits. Now, can you tell me what you were discussing?â
After exchanging a few words among themselves, the four agreed to reveal what they were talking about.
âWe four went into this place earlierâŠâ
Ma Bond immediately perked up and asked eagerly for details.
âAround evening, we were planning to leave the amusement park and found that we couldnât get out because there was an invisible wall encasing usâŠâ
