Thriller Paradise Chapter 975: Abstention
November 15th, evening, 9:40.
Ma Junxiao, the well-known professional player "Sky Swallowing Ghost Xiao", was successfully rescued by the police.
Said it was "rescued"...In fact, he was "released".
Shortly after Dongfeng's arrest, the three kidnappers received a "telephone order" to release the hostages. Although they were a little hesitant, they still followed suit.
A few minutes later, Guixiao, who had left the residential building, was quickly protected by the police hiding in the dark.
At 10:15 in the evening, after gathering with his family, Gui Xiao went to the hospital for a simple check-up. Then, at his own will, he went back to the unit with Brother Chan to prepare for the game.
On the other hand, the three "executors" who kidnapped Guixiao executed the "retreat plan" at ten o'clock. As a result... they were arrested as soon as they left the house.
In the absence of hostages, it was easy for the police to subdue them...Until they were taken into the police car, the three people realized with hindsight-the last few instructions did not seem to have been issued by the "planner" himself. .
Unfortunately... they felt it was too late.
Under the instruction of Jiu Ke, the police listed the three executors as the main suspects, and the case ends here. Deputy Director Zheng and the other undercover agent were both imprisoned shortly after... Their scripts were dirty, so they were threatened by Dongfeng; after this, the two were also dealt with.
And Dongfeng... fell into the hands of Jiuke, and even Feng Bujue didn't know what the fate of this guy would be.
Anyway, Jue didn’t enter the headquarters of the nine departments with Bao Qing. After confirming that Gui Xiao had been rescued, he made Xiao sigh (Tonight, this doctor Gao Fushuai drove a moat and became a driver for his friend. ) Drive myself back.
Looking at the entire incident today, the only secret that has not yet been revealed is..."The identity of the mastermind", that is, the identity of the person who paid for Dongfeng.
Of course, who this person is... doesn't matter. After Dongfeng entered the nine subjects, he would definitely confess the identity of the employer. Even if he really has professional ethics, let's not say that he can resist death... With the ability of our chief Gu (for popular science, Gu Chen mainly worked in three professions when he was young, namely: doctor, ghost hunter, and detective). The identity of the mastermind can also be found by reasoning alone.
"Have huge assets", "have the ability to participate in huge illegal gambling", "can contact a criminal consultant like Dongfeng"... It is not difficult to find people who meet these characteristics. Feng Bujue knew this too well, so he didn't dig deeper into the clue of the mastermind. He just rescued Guixiao and then hid his merits and fame and went home.
…………
November 16, midnight.
The final semifinals of S2 Summit. The fight finally started after a delay of nearly twenty hours.
At the request of Guixiao and his family, Order did not release any news about the kidnapping incident during the day.
In the eyes of the audience...everything is normal, just waiting for a wonderful victory.
However, no one thought that the final result of this game would turn out to be...
…………
"Abstaining?" When Feng Bujue and his teammates saw this announcement in the conference room. Almost unanimously chanted such a sentence in a surprised tone.
Who would have thought...this peak battle of Order against the gods would end in a hasty way with the gods' abstention.
"No... there is no reason for this..." Hanama was puzzled after seeing the news.
"Does the kidnapping case today really have something to do with them?" Xiao Tan looked at Brother Jue and said, "When they found that Guixiao was safe and sound, they acted with a guilty conscience... just abstained?"
"No... Shi Long is not that kind of person." Feng Bujue continued in a decisive tone.
Shi Long, is [Shiva]’s real name in reality. He uses the name of an Indian **** in the game, and in reality... he also has a quite resounding name.
"Although I don’t know him very well, I can see...this guy's character and temperament are pretty good." Brother Jue raised his eyes and sighed, "Speaking of which...he is also a rich second. On behalf of it."
"Hey...Why look at me when I talk about the second generation of the rich..." Xiao sigh couldn't help but vomit.
"Okay..." Feng Bujue said, turning his head to look at the three beauties in the team. "He... is also a rich second generation."
Before the words fell, the snacks of the three people flew out at the same time, quickly confused my brother's face.
"OK~OK~" Brother Jue wiped his face, and then said, "He is similar to Jin Fugui...and also a rich second generation."
After that, he looked at the reactions of his teammates again...Take the tracking department as an example, and everyone seems to have no opinion.
So, Feng Bujue continued: "As everyone knows, the rich second generation is also divided into grades... For example, your families are probably equivalent to the grades of the crown princes of Arab countries; and Jin Fugui's family. Forget it. In real estate, the assets are more than 100 million yuan, but it is far behind you." He paused, "As for Shi Long and their family...it is more than ten times more than Jin Fugui's family. So it. The same. He started his business in his early twenties and relied on family funding... Jin Fugui could only start from a small game studio, while Shi Long started directly from a large company."
Brother Jue said, took a sip of the drink on the table: "To say something off topic... I think in terms of actual operating ability, Jin Fugui can catch up with Shi Long in two years at most; Obviously, the latter is more suitable to be a professional player. In terms of operation... Shi Long is basically a hand-off shopkeeper. In the past few years after the establishment of the gods, the daily affairs of the studio were taken care of by others. I think...this is also the reason why the gods are always overwhelmed by order; fundamentally speaking, Shi Long is not a businessman. He often looks at the problem from the perspective of a player or a team captain. Rather than looking at it from the perspective of a capitalist or operator. Although in some respects, this approach has its advantages, but in the long run... it is not conducive to the profitability and development of the company."
"Okay, don't go far." Seeing that Brother's chat was on the rise, Huajian quickly brought the topic back, "Just say why you think he won't instigate the kidnapping."
"It's very simple..." Feng Bujue replied, "The motivation is not valid."
"Huh? According to the usual logic... he is the most motivated, isn't he?" Xiao Tan asked.
"No..." Xiao Ling interjected thoughtfully at this time, "It looks like that, but the truth is just the opposite..."
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded, "People are paying attention to the ‘result’ of the game, but they ignore the ‘meaning’ of the game..."
Speaking of which, Hua Jian's eyes turned brightly. Suddenly he realized: "That's right! What Shiva is interested in is not only the ‘victory result’, but more importantly, the ‘process of winning’."
"Also." Brother Jue snapped his fingers and continued, "Since the launch of "Thriller Paradise". [Swallowing Ghost] This ID has always been the title of the'strongest' regardless of the official ranking. Rankings, players’ spontaneous rankings, or various media reports... He is recognized as the number one player in the game. Originally... the strength of the “Drunken Life and Dreams” of Order may not be stronger than the “Four Heavenly Kings of Gods”, but because of a ghost Xiao, the gods have also been suppressed in the'combat power' they are most proud of." He paused for two seconds before continuing. "There is only one way to change this status quo...that is to defeat the first team of Order where Guixiao is in the game and prove the strength of the gods."
"Understood..." Ruoyu on the side also followed Jue's thoughts closely, and at this time he muttered, "For Shiva, this head-on confrontation with order...maybe even more important than the final. He is the last person who wants Guixiao to be unable to play...because he needs to defeat an orderly team with ghosts in order to justify the gods. On the other hand...to win a team without ghosts and enter the finals. , It’s meaningless."
"Yes..." Hanama also continued, "If today's order is defeated by Guixiao's failure to fight...People's evaluation of Guixiao will not be lowered, but will even become higher... "
"So...Shi Long has no reason to do that." Feng Bujue said again at this time. "In addition, the motive we just discussed...'kidnapping the opponent's main player in order to advance to the finals' is just a superficial motive that can be seen by anyone; the real motive... just like what I said to you before (this time Brother Jue has naturally told his teammates what happened during the day today), it should be related to peripheral gambling." He spread his hands, "And then...it is even more unlikely to be related to Shi Long...not to mention other people's homes. It’s not bad money, and he earns all legal money...Speaking of Shi Long’s character, he also belongs to the type that will never gamble. I don’t fight him once or twice, his steady fighting style Similar to Blade's [Broken Army], it is the kind of absolute rationalist. This kind of person is spiritually strong and proud; the fluke psychology, or the gambler's psychology, seems to them to be the bad habits of the weak, conspiracy and trickery. They are also not very good at things like'taking your luck'... They are the kind of people who like to use their strength to convince the opponent to lose."
"And the'mastermind'..." Huama followed the words of Brother Jue. "Is it a dirty gambler?"
"Heh..." Feng Bujue sneered, "The word'gambler' is not good enough for that person, and'dirty' is not used exactly. But I understand what you mean." He shrugged. "In any case, Shi Long will never be related to today's kidnapping incident. What happened during the day is completely unknown to him..." As he said, Brother Jue raised his head and looked at the ceiling with a pensive expression on his face. "The gods suddenly abstained...There must be another reason..."
…………
On the 16th, 3:20 in the morning.
After being bombarded with various news, emails, and phone calls for several hours, Shi Long, exhausted, finally returned home.
About three months ago, Shi Long had a wedding with his fiancée, but the two of them lived together years ago.
Their home is a villa in the urban area of S City (there are very few villas in the urban area, but there are still some, of course, the price is very...very expensive), and the villa is not far from the headquarters of the gods. It takes ten minutes to drive there.
Shi Long's wife works in his company and serves as an assistant for him; the two enter and leave together every day, very affectionate.
But tonight, after Shi Long drove his wife home, he let her go back to the room alone to rest.
And Shi Long himself... came to the study, locked the door, and sat behind a desk... lost in thought.
The wife didn't come to disturb him, she understood...At this time, she didn't need to ask or say anything.
This is a time when a man needs to be quiet.
However, I'm afraid he can't do what he wants...
Huhuhu——
After a sound of friction between metal rollers, a wall of bookshelves behind Shi Long moved horizontally by half.
A man walked out of it.
When Shi Long heard the sound, his expression changed abruptly and he turned his head abruptly. As a result, he saw...
"Feng Bujue?" Shi Long was shocked, "Why are you in my house?" He paused for half a second, and then said, "How did you get into the refuge room?"
"I want to talk to you, but I think you should be very busy tonight." Feng Bujue walked out with a smile, strolling to the sofa next to the desk and sitting down, "and... Some things are more convenient to talk about in person, so I just came here."
"I'm not asking why you came..." Shi Long's expression is still not very friendly. Of course, this is also human nature... Even if you are a good friend, sneak into your home without your knowledge. , You will be frightened and angry, not to mention how deep friendship between them is, "I asked how you got in!"
"Oh...that..." Feng Bujue replied with a lazy expression, "Your anti-theft system hasn't been upgraded since you bought this villa, right? It’s more than enough to guard against ordinary thief, but when you meet a master, it’s almost like window paper..." He took out a note from his arms, "Here... this is my invasion route map. In the refuge room, I was idle and boring while waiting for you; the method of intrusion has been marked on the side, and I also attached some guidance on this anti-theft system. You take the time to show it to the people in the security company and let them I’ll help you upgrade the system, I promise...After it’s done, no one can enter except Ethan Hunt’s level of agent."
Shi Long looked at Brother Jue with a dull expression~IndoMTL.com~ His mouth was speechless, but in his heart there were thousands of grass and mud horses rushing past...
After standing for a few seconds, Shi Long took the piece of paper, glanced at it, and then folded it carefully and put it in the desk drawer...
"Oh, by the way, I discovered that'refuge room' accidentally." After Feng Bujue sent out the note, he put his hands on the back of his head, fell back on the sofa, and said in a chatty tone. , "I originally wanted to wait for you in the study, but in the process of sneaking... I found some abnormalities in the structure of the villa through observation, so I looked for..."
"Brother Feng..." Shi Long was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense at the moment, he interrupted Brother Jue, and said, "I am...in no mood to chat with you. You are a novelist, a hidden international No matter the thief... At this moment, I just want to ask you to leave my home." He said this with a very serious expression, "I won't say anything that is bad, I will just say-'Please go out, Otherwise I will call the police'."
"Call the police?" Feng Bujue heard this, without any intention of getting up from the sofa. He gave a meaningful smile and said, "He... you and I know what happened to you... The police can't help you solve it..." (To be continued.)
