Chapter 59

The trap set by the Unlucky Wolf is vicious and intricate, with one pit leading to another. How could it be so easy to unravel?

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said, "What if we find the remaining fourteen Nuya and the three Nuya controllers? If we eliminate half of them, the task of the Ghost Slayer Team will naturally be completed."

Zhang Yusheng smiled bitterly, "I can accept this outcome, can you?"

Ye Yun was taken aback.

Indeed, this would only ensure that the Ghost Slayer Team wouldn't fight to the death, and the safety of the civilians would be guaranteed. But what about us? We would still be penalized and eliminated, just like before.

If we were to act out of revenge against the Unlucky Wolf, just to thwart his plans, this plan would be quite good.

But this doesn't align with Ye Yun's interests.

"Moreover, the Ghost Slayer Team would be fine, but what about the remaining t? If they learn that their mission failure will result in their elimination, wouldn't there be a riot?" Zhang Yusheng smiled bitterly, "Ultimately, our most important task is to protect those five girls or the thing they carry!"

"Wait a moment!"

A flash of inspiration struck Ye Yun, "We've overlooked a problem!"

"What problem?"

"The numerous t will be penalized or eliminated for failing their mission, but won't the large number of ct on your side face the same fate? What if we spread the word about the Unlucky Wolf's plot?"

"!!!"

Zhang Yusheng's eyes lit up, "Great idea!"

"As long as we spread the information that both sides' ordinary players have been betrayed, whether t or ct, they will ultimately be useful to us... We don't even need them to do anything extra; we just need them to unite and protect the stage!"

"But there's a difficulty: how to spread the message... This is where you come in."

"I'll complete this task as soon as possible, you can rest assured. But I have one concern... Your side has participants from the Chaotic Evil faction, right?"

Ye Yun pondered, "You're worried they might attack the ct protecting the stage?"

Zhang Yusheng didn't deny it, "If they really do, it could create a chaotic situation. Then, the ordinary players of both ct and t would not only guard against the Nuya but also be wary of each other."

"I'll find a way to solve this!" Ye Yun said firmly.

Hanging up the phone, Ye Yun turned to the motherboard, "Can you hack our communication channel so that only the ordinary players can hear what I say?"

The motherboard looked excited, "Absolutely no problem."

Zhang Yusheng looked up at his sister, "I remember you have a universal walkie-talkie that can adjust channels. Can you make sure only the ordinary players hear what I say?"

Zhang Yulian nodded, "Are you sure you want to do this? If you ruin the Unlucky Wolf's plan, I'm afraid he will harm you."

"I've made up my mind, if he wants to fight, I'm not afraid of him!"

"Alright, I'll adjust it!"

A few minutes later...

"Players of the t faction, this is Sergeant Ye Yun. I have a message that concerns your lives, repeat, this is a message that concerns your lives..."

"Players of the ct faction, this is Captain Zhang Yusheng. Listen carefully to every word I say, as it involves your lives..."

"Do not let anyone notice your abnormal behavior, maintain your original appearance..."

"Especially do not let anyone above the team leader level notice that you are receiving this message..."

"Time is of the essence, I will briefly summarize the entire situation..."

"There's no time to explain everything from the beginning, to put it simply..."

"...as above, you are in grave danger!"

"...as above, you have been betrayed!"

"Now, do not alarm anyone."

"Quickly move to the concert stage and prepare for defense."

"Remember, for the sake of your life, do not be hostile to each other."

"The only chance to survive is to cooperate!"

"Whether t or ct, remember, once you form an array, those standing beside you are comrades, those standing opposite are enemies."

"Because, whether t or ct, there are some who do not want us to complete the mission; they are our true enemies!"

The truth is often cruel and bloody, but interests are eternal.

In this world, no one is immune to the lure of interests, especially when it involves their own lives.

The closed doors of the Hong Kong Coliseum were opened by the ct, and several armed t players entered in groups. The two sides, originally mortal enemies, merely glanced at each other and passed by, the hostility in their eyes long gone.

Completing the mission means tens of thousands of reward points, failing means being kicked out of the game. The choice is simple.

Moreover, how many of the t or ct are truly controlled by the upper echelons? Normal people, when faced with temporary rulers, may not dare to oppose, but they certainly won't genuinely accept orders.

Running, forming groups, and defending.

Over four hundred armed players from both sides completely surrounded the small stage of the Hong Kong Coliseum. About two hundred more were split, with half stationed at high points for defense, and the other half led by the ct familiar with the terrain, patrolling the underground level where the actors were resting and getting ready.

At this moment, the ordinary ct players almost ignored the 'leaders' assigned from above, as seen in this scene outside an actor's dressing room.

Tap tap tap tap...

The chaotic yet continuous sound of boots on the corridor floor echoed. In the dressing room, Captain 'Primer' of the ct faction frowned.

"What's going on outside?"

The fair-skinned, beautiful, and curvaceous Asian pop star sitting on his lap noticed his expression and gently smoothed his frown with her delicate fingers, "You're so sensitive, frowning at the slightest sound. You'll get wrinkles if you keep this up."

"Those damn brats..."

Primer smiled and kissed the beauty in his arms, pulling his hand out from her hot pants and rubbing the slick liquid on his fingers under her bashful gaze, "I'll go check, I'll be right back."

"Hurry up, I have to go on stage in an hour," the beauty pouted, "You should at least give me ten minutes to rest, or I might fall on stage if my legs get weak."

Primer laughed, tidied his clothes, and walked out the door.

His smile instantly froze on his face!

Outside, the group that had just passed... besides his neatly dressed ct subordinates, there were also a large number of people in black combat gear mixed in.

"Wait a moment!" Primer frowned and grabbed a black-clad combatant from the second group passing by, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

"I'm t!"

The man shrugged off his hand and looked at him disdainfully, "Who are you? I've never seen you either!"

Primer was shocked and instinctively drew a Tanfoglio TA90 pistol, but before he could raise it, over a dozen guns were already pointed at him.

"You!" Primer glared at the ct players pointing guns at him, "Are you crazy!? Are you planning to defect?"

"Defect? Defect to whom? Or who has defected to us?"

A ct player sneered, "Why don't you explain why we haven't started the inspection yet? Why haven't we quickly found and eliminated the mysterious organization hidden among the crowd?"

Primer was taken aback, his face turning pale.

He was one of the few who had the right to know the upper echelons' plans and was well aware that the ordinary players on his side had been betrayed.

But knowing is one thing, he couldn't possibly say it out loud.

"We are still preparing, after all, the members of the mysterious organization are hidden among the crowd and look no different from ordinary people unless they transform into Nuya!" Primer quickly found an excuse, "If we search blindly and fire randomly, wouldn't we risk injuring the civilians?"

"Do you still care about civilian casualties?" The t player laughed, "If you're worried about civilian casualties, it's not too late to evacuate the crowd. The Hong Kong Coliseum is the starting point of the faction's main mission, and the system has explicitly stated that the concert must be held on time without any disruption. However, the system hasn't specified how long the concert must last, right? If we evacuate the crowd now, it will make both defense and our mutual combat much easier."

The ct player next to him waved his gun at Primer, "Go on, announce the end of the concert and evacuate the civilians. Aren't you worried about civilian casualties?"

"You..."

Primer's face turned green and white, "Such a big concert, the whole of Asia is watching. If it ends so soon, won't we become a laughingstock to the entire continent?"

"If there are heavy civilian casualties, it will be even more of a laughingstock," the ct player snorted, "Captain Primer, since the upper echelons have decided to sacrifice our lives for their interests, don't blame us for turning against them! From now on, the 316 ct players recruited by the conscription order will act according to our own will! Let's go."

A group left, and Primer leaned against the wall, his face covered in sweat, "Who... who leaked the information?"
