Chapter 458: Kidnapping Case Resurfaces
"Meow, Meow, Meow?" Liu Xing looked at Ling Ishikawa with a puzzled expression.
Ling Ishikawa shrugged, somewhat perplexed, "Liu Xing, you also know how my Prophecy Art works. Although the effects of the previous two Prophecy Arts were decent, I can’t be sure if this one will still be successful. But judging from your and Zhang Jingxu’s reactions, it seems like I might have hit the mark again?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded with a smile, informing Ling Ishikawa about the photo incident.
Ling Ishikawa raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Oh, I see. So, it seems like you, Liu Xing, have joined us now. But honestly, I still believe that you and Alice have nothing going on between you. After all, we changed character cards together and went through the module together. So, could it be that your character card was already associated with Alice before?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded knowingly, adding, "Exactly. Actually, back in Fishman Village, I found it strange when Alice suddenly joined us. But if your character card is indeed linked to Alice, then it makes sense."
Liu Xing looked helpless, speaking earnestly, "I can now confirm that my character card really has nothing to do with Alice. Moreover, logically speaking, my character card has never experienced amnesia, so..."
At this point, Liu Xing didn’t know what else to say because he had already explained everything he could.
Zhang Jingxu and Ling Ishikawa understood this, so after teasing Liu Xing a bit more, they both left, especially Ling Ishikawa, who needed to go back and change his attire.
Meanwhile, Liu Xing continued to ponder why Alice was so concerned about him. Could it be that he was truly outstanding, capturing Alice’s heart at first sight...?
Soon, a day passed by.
As the Cult of the Cadaver suddenly entered a dormant phase and Liu Xing’s group still lacked the strength to actively confront them, they could only idle around in safe areas, occasionally gathering insignificant pieces of information from the outside world.
While lying on his sickbed, refreshing the news on his mobile phone out of boredom, KP Li Shunchan suddenly spoke up, "Now, each player, please roll a difficult Luck Judgment. If you pass, you’ll receive crucial information."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow and chose to roll immediately.
Liu Xing, 12/35 (70), succeeded.
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his luck had returned.
Then, suddenly, Liu Xing’s hand moved involuntarily, tapping into a news article.
The headline of the news article read: "Midnight Disappearance Case in London Subway!"
Liu Xing frowned. The content of the news was simple: Last night, a remote subway station witnessed a disappearance case involving three passengers waiting for the last train.
As the last subway was about to arrive, the station’s surveillance suddenly malfunctioned. The station staff heard several screams from the platform, but when they rushed over, the three passengers had vanished.
Subsequently, the London police arrived, finding footprints and drag marks near the platform, leading them to conclude it was a kidnapping case.
Towards the end of the article, the author mentioned a piece of hearsay from a police officer friend, stating that among the footprints found by the London police, there were some clearly non-human ones.
Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that this subway disappearance case was also the work of the Cult of the Cadaver.
This was likely the Cult of the Cadaver’s second step plan.
KP Li Shunchan was quite pleased with this announcement.
Liu Xing didn’t hesitate and nodded directly, "Since Bai Hecheng’s team might also undertake this Side Quest, we have no reason to refuse it. After all, even if we fail the Mission, we’ll still have a chance to determine Bai Hecheng’s situation."
The others shared the same thoughts as Liu Xing, so Liu Xing’s group accepted the Side Quest.
"Now that we’ve accepted the Side Quest, let’s head to the villa area. We need to arrive at our destination before the Cult of the Cadaver takes action, and we also need to disguise ourselves to avoid detection by Bai Hecheng’s team," Yis People suggested.
Ling Ishikawa nodded, smiling, "This Side Quest couldn’t have come at a better time. I was just looking for someone to test my swordsmanship on. So, please tell Chris, Mr. Liu Xing, to prepare a sharpened longsword or a katana for me."
"No problem," Chris replied, pulling out his mobile phone to text Chris.
Zhang Jingxu looked at Liu Xing with some concern, saying, "Ryuusei, maybe you should stay back this time and rest at home."
Liu Xing checked his character card and found that his HP had already recovered to 8 points.
So, after giving it some thought, Liu Xing decided he wanted to make the trip. "My HP has recovered somewhat, so as long as I’m not as unlucky as last time, I should be fine."
Since Liu Xing said so, Zhang Jingxu didn’t insist further. He just went out to get a wheelchair for Liu Xing.
"Although you’ve regained your mobility, Ryuusei, you still shouldn’t engage in strenuous activities to avoid reopening the wound. So, it’s better for you to use the wheelchair. Plus, you can help us conceal a Vityaz-SN submachine gun," Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
It was then that Liu Xing noticed Zhang Jingxu had placed a Vityaz-SN submachine gun on the wheelchair.
"After we completed the sudden Mission, Chris sent us five Vityaz-SN submachine guns with corresponding ammunition, as well as more than ten sets of military-grade body armor and helmets. Now our combat effectiveness has increased by a level," Zhang Jingxu said with a grin.
Liu Xing nodded. The combat effectiveness of the Vityaz-SN submachine gun was unmatched by pistols.
Since military-grade body armor was too conspicuous, Liu Xing and the others wore police-grade body armor instead. Then Liu Xing sat in the wheelchair, pushed by Ling Ishikawa.
It was strange to be in a wheelchair, Liu Xing couldn’t help but feel.
Meanwhile, Alice and Ryuzaki were already prepared in the hall.
Now that Liu Xing knew Alice might be interested in him, he felt a bit hesitant to look at her.
Although Alice’s expression was normal, she sounded a bit anxious as she said, "Mr. Ryuusei, you should rest at home instead of pushing yourself to come with us to the subway station."
Liu Xing smiled and shook his head, standing up directly. "The medicine Matsui Yui gave me worked really well, and with my decent recovery ability, I can move freely now. Also, I can use the wheelchair to conceal a Vityaz-SN submachine gun for you guys. If a conflict arises, you might not be able to handle the Cult of the Cadaver’s people with just a few small handguns."
Alice glanced at the Vityaz-SN submachine gun on Liu Xing’s thigh and eventually nodded.
