Chapter 379 Thieves (18)
Chapter 379 Thieves (18)
The police officers and players surrounded the unconscious person tightly, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Several people helped him up from the ground and tried to wake him up.
The man looked dazed, with cold sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he still hadn't recovered from the situation just now.
"What happened? What did you see?!" someone couldn't help but ask anxiously, with suppressed anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.
The player slowly opened his eyes, looking around blankly, his lips trembling, "I... I didn't see anything... It was just that suddenly I felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and then I fainted..."
"Are you sure you didn't see anything?" The police officer continued to ask, staring into his eyes, trying to find a flaw in his expression.
The man shook his head helplessly, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible: "I really didn't see anything... It's like... there's some kind of magic, I can't react at all..."
The people around looked at each other, feeling increasingly annoyed.
Everything was arranged perfectly, but at the critical moment, all efforts came to nothing.
Even the only person who might be close to K didn't have any useful information.
All of this seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. No matter how they struggled, they could not break through the fog.
The police officers sighed and headed to other places, leaving only a group of players here.
"How do you play this?" A player cursed angrily under his breath, clenching his fists in anger.
"Will our mission fail like this..."
A player muttered in frustration, a deep sense of powerlessness in his voice.
"But nothing has happened now." The other person frowned, confusion in his eyes.
Everyone was busy making preparations and guarding every corner of the museum, but until now, they still had nothing to show for it.
The Aurora Heart was swapped, and K's whereabouts were false. They were like being trapped in a maze with no exit.
"Could it be that the Heart of Aurora isn't the museum's treasure at all?" A player couldn't help but whisper, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone.
These words were like a stone thrown into calm water, instantly stirring up waves in everyone's hearts.
Yes, if the Heart of Aurora is not the treasure of the museum, then what is the real mission objective?
Is there any meaning in what they have been guarding?
With their thoughts in a mess, they gradually fell into deeper confusion and anxiety.
There are only 7 days left to complete the task.
They had originally confidently believed that as long as they could defend the Heart of Aurora, they would be able to successfully complete the mission, but now they found that everything before them had turned into an indistinct fog.
"How do we complete the main mission? Are we being kept in the dark?" Someone couldn't help but ask, with anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes.
They suddenly realized that they might have been led into an elaborate scam.
"What exactly is the museum's treasure? Did we misunderstand it?" Another player looked around nervously.
The air was filled with tension and depression, and everyone began to become anxious.
They exchanged suspicious glances, and no one knew what to do next.
At this moment, Xiao Huai slowly walked over from behind the crowd. His steps were light and steady, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces.
He stopped, looked at the anxious players in front of him, and said calmly: "Perhaps you really have misunderstood."
The players turned their heads and looked at Xiao Huai. Some frowned, some had flickering eyes, and were obviously confused by what he said.
"Is K definitely the thief?" Xiao Huai's voice was neither hurried nor slow, with an inexplicable power.
"Who do you think is the thief? Doesn't anyone find this museum strange? Most of the collections here have been stripped of their true historical traces."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then looked at each other.
Xiao Huai's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in their hearts.
These players were all veterans who had reached the ninth level of the game. They were quick-witted and quickly caught the hints in his words.
Museums... collections that have erased all traces of history... what does this really mean?
They suddenly realized that they had been led in the wrong direction.
Because since they entered the game, they have represented the power of the police station.
The bureau has always treated them normally.
It is because it is too normal that their thinking becomes lazy.
This makes them stubbornly believe that K is the criminal who stole the museum's treasures, but they have never really questioned the origin and significance of these collections.
At this moment, Xiao Huai's words completely changed their thinking.
The real thief may not be K at all, but the museum itself, or even some deeper power.
The players' minds raced as they suddenly realized that the game they were playing in was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Looking at Xiao Huai's eyes gradually becoming full of awe and confusion, they understood that the man in front of them had broken free from his limitations and seen a wider world that they could not reach.
"You mean... we don't understand the true meaning of the mission at all?" A player asked hesitantly, his tone full of uncertainty.
Xiao Huai nodded, a calm glint in his eyes.
"This museum ostensibly displays culture and history, but what it truly conceals is power and plunder. Our goal was misled from the outset: the true treasure of this museum isn't a single object, but the truth it conceals."
He paused, his eyes scanning the faces of everyone around him, examining their inner turmoil and anxiety.
Then, the corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an evil and captivating smile.
That smile was like a sharp blade in the dark night, cold and hot at the same time, chilling one's heart yet unable to look away.
"So, what do you think our mission is?"
He asked quietly, a hint of soft mockery in his voice.
There is arrogance and charm in her eyes and eyebrows, like some kind of deadly poison that makes people addicted to it unknowingly.
The light hidden deep in his eyes flickered, telling some dangerous and fascinating secret.
At this moment, Xiao Huai was like a proud and elegant black cat, exuding a dangerous aura like a hunter.
His smile was both provocative and tempting, as if he was waiting for their response, but also as if he was watching them fall deeper into the mystery.
The players were shocked, and countless thoughts seemed to flash through their minds.
Everything they had done before was just a struggle within a limited framework, but Xiao Huai had already jumped out of the chessboard and saw the truth.
But they cannot use their super powers.
Having their superpowers stripped away, they are like birds with their wings plucked out, trapped in this game, unable to break free.
"Do you have any plans..." Finally, everyone couldn't help but asked Xiao Huai softly.
