C118 – The Game Continues
by UntamedSThen, everyone who heard the audio went crazy.
Shocked Passerby #1: Crap! Why did I actually hear the name of Rune Card’s big brother in this thread? I’m not hallucinating, am I?
Shocked Passerby #2: Although I’m as shocked as you are, I can responsibly tell you that you really aren’t hallucinating, because I also heard the name of Run Card Big Brother in this recording.
Shocked Passerby #3: So what does this have to do with the Rune Card, brother? And who is the owner of this post? Are the events that happened before really related to them? What is he trying to do? Does Rune Card Big Brother know about this?
Shocked Passerby #4: I always feel that this matter must contain a shocking conspiracy; it is simply too horrible!
……
To everyone’s surprise, the owner replied to Shocked Passerby #3’s series of questions, but this time he didn’t use the audio form but directly replied in text: [Related, secret, related, secret, informed].
This concise reply immediately pushed the popularity of this thread to a higher level, and almost everyone was discussing this related issue as they constantly speculated about what kind of role He Yishu had played in this matter and what exactly this person’s identity and purpose were.
When He Yishu learned about this matter from Arman, several hours had already passed, and while maintaining communication, he went to the virtual network to take a look: “Uncle, can we investigate the identity of the person who posted this?”
Arman replied with a serious voice: “We’ve already found that person based on the account information on the virtual network, but the results of the preliminary interrogation showed that this person knew nothing about the existence of this post, so it’s very likely that his account was stolen.”
“So is there anything I can do now?” He Yishu’s expression was also serious; this was clearly a long-planned conspiracy.
Associating it with those inexplicable anonymous letters he had received in the previous week, and then thinking about this incident and the appearance of this post, he had even been able to vaguely guess what the other party’s purpose was.
“No need, this matter will be pursued by the military department as soon as possible, and I will inform you in time if there is any progress,” was the reason why Arman contacted He Yishu and told him about this matter. For one thing, He Yishu had the right to know the beginning and end of this matter, and secondly, Arman also hoped that He Yishu would be able to make sufficient psychological preparation because if this matter continued to fester, it would likely bring him some adverse effects. “What you need to do now is ensure your own safety while not letting it affect your emotions.”
He let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “Thank you, uncle; I will.”
After hanging up the communication, He Yishu listened to the recording in the post a few more times, and then he couldn’t help but laugh, they were even trying to force him to make self-sacrifice by destroying innocent people’s mental domains. This person was really good at finding his “weakness.”.
He just didn’t know if the other party knew that he had already created a Han character rune card that could repair a mental domain. What would his expression be?
Thinking this way, He Yishu’s mood suddenly became even more pleasant. Just as he was thinking this way, He Yishu’s light device suddenly flickered, and when he looked down, it was Qiao An who was calling.
As soon as the communication was connected, Qiao An’s urgent voice immediately came over: “Xiao Shu, are you alright now?”
“Are you talking about that post on the virtual web? I’ve already seen it; don’t worry, I’m fine now.” “Even better now,” He Yishu added in his mind.
Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern, “Although it’s still unclear for the time being what exactly that person’s purpose is, I feel that his behavior might be detrimental to you. Do you want to step in and clarify?”
Qiao An didn’t know about the strange letters that He Yishu had received before, so he thought that someone was trying to frame He Yishu on purpose to discredit him.
He Yishu leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed body; even his tone sounded relaxed: “No, don’t worry, this matter won’t have any negative impact on me. On the contrary, you also need to pay extra attention to your safety during this period of time. I suspect that the other party will probably start with you.”
That time when Qiao An’s foster mother had taken the initiative to contact him earlier and wanted to meet with him should have been one of the other party’s plans, but it failed to materialize, and he resorted to the subsequent plot.
At this time, Adrian walked out of the kitchen with a cup of warm milk. He placed the milk in front of He Yishu and sat himself down beside him.
Hearing He Yishu say this, Qiao An on the other side didn’t say anything more, and after assuring him that he would also pay extra attention to safety, he hung up.
After He Yishu hung up, Adrian brought milk and handed it to him, while asking, “Are you really going to do nothing?”
He Yishu took a sip of milk, narrowed his eyes, and smiled. “Of course, I think the best thing for me to do now is to watch the show. What do you think he will do next?”
“Judging by his previous behavior, he will probably use this incident as a start, allowing more people to suffer damage to their mental domains, thus putting pressure on you and forcing you to make a choice,” Adrian pondered for a few moments before voicing his opinion. “But strangely enough, I don’t feel that his actions are meant to destroy you; rather, it seems like he’s hoping to get something out of you; otherwise, he wouldn’t even need to send you so many boring anonymous letters.”
“That does seem to be the case, so do you think there’s anything about me that’s worth the other party going to such great lengths to try to obtain?” He Yishu and Adrian exchanged a glance, and both of them found the same answer in the other’s eyes as their own: “Han character rune card, it does seem like it’s the only suitable option; in that case, I’m a bit suspicious of the Brandt family again.”
“Maybe it’s them; I can’t say for sure. The Brandt family has been under a lot of suppression since that surveillance exposure incident earlier; it’s possible for them to do anything at such a crisis point.” Adrian sighed lightly, although the Brandt family’s destruction was only a matter of time, it was after all, once the number one rune card family, so it would take some time to bring it down completely.
And although many things would definitely be done, they were not suitable to be explained directly to the public, even if the person who was plotting this was a military marshal.
“If it’s really them, one can only say that the Brandt family is too good at dying; after all, there’s no way that this matter can have any negative effects on me at all.” He Yishu snorted and turned before continuing, “But even if there’s really a handiwork of the Brandt family in this, I’m sure it’s by no means possible that it’s them alone who’ve done it, isn’t it? Even though that previous surveillance incident required the military department’s insiders to lend a helping hand in order to complete it, I don’t think the Brandt family has enough strength to be able to complete this plan.”
“I think so too, but I’m afraid that those who are cooperating with the Brandt family this time aren’t from the military department, and there might be more than one cooperation partner.” Adrian raised his hand to rub his brow and sighed softly. “Being able to send anonymous letters that cannot be queried as to the source of the information through the light device, and at the same time being able to borrow other people’s accounts to post on the virtual network without being detected, it shouldn’t be just a few people.”
“It’s just that such people tend to hide very deeply, and their personal information and records often don’t have any anomalies, which makes it a lot more difficult for the military department to track them down. However, this was obviously just a smokescreen set up by the Brandt family; since such people tend to take money for their work and don’t interfere too much with their employer’s plans, tracking would take a lot of effort, but the gains could be small.”
“And on top of that, the Brandt family obviously has another person to cooperate with; they provide the Brandt family with potions that can destroy the mental domain but don’t go ahead and lead this movement, so I suspect that this might be some organization that has been planning this for a long time, and the relationship between this organization and the Brandt family is to use each other, which is a bit similar to what happened in that previous incident.”
Adrian’s statement made He Yishu think of a certain kind of existence in the world he was in before—the kind of expert whose usual words and actions didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary but who was able to use his personal skills to infiltrate the virtual network.
Thinking about it like this, it was understandable why the military department had been slow to track down any useful information.
He Yishu was completely inept at this aspect of things, and he was also inept at researching forbidden potions, so he could only shrug his shoulders: “Then let them make a mess; as long as they don’t breach the military department’s defense system, it won’t have much of an effect on us.”
Some time ago, He Yishu’s flat was installed with the highest defense system of the military ministry, and a high-intensity defense system was also installed in the light device, and naturally, Adrian was the same, so both of their usual operating words and actions were closely protected.
Adrian nodded. “But it’s better to be careful, especially with the people around you.”
After all, they were now in the First Academy, surrounded by too many students of the same and different majors who knew what they were thinking and what they would do.
“Don’t worry, I don’t even plan on going to class these days, so I’ll be fine.” He Yishu picked up the milk and drank it in one go, then moved over to kiss Adrian and asked, “Is the milk good?”
“Let me taste it again.” Adrian froze, then wrapped his arms around He Yishu’s waist for a deeper kiss.
Although He Yishu didn’t pay any attention to the post on the virtual internet, other people wouldn’t be so calm, and soon that post was pushed to the top, and more and more people began to pay attention to this matter.
The person who uploaded the post also seemed to be very idle, and when he came across a reply that he found pleasing to the eye, he would even reply to it with audio or text underneath.
For example, when someone asked what this matter had to do with He Yishu, the owner replied with a very evocative audio: [He caused all this.]
For example, when someone called out the owner for deliberately defaming He Yishu, the owner replied with two words in Chinese characters: [Hehe].
In the early hours of the next day, the owner updated the audio post: [The game is still going on; are you ready?]
