Chapter 2242: A Temporary Law Enforcement Officer
On the surface, Xu Huo's dungeon had nothing to do with the One-Third Game. As long as he avoided triggering the game, he could complete his own mission without entering another one.
It wasn't too difficult for him. His ability to mentally interfere with and hypnotize people helped a great deal. Otherwise, with disguises easy to come by and the Jixin Terminal flooded with fabricated false information, identifying Wanted Criminals would have been a major challenge.
But the wanted list had to be updated continuously. Otherwise, everyone in the city would have been killed by now. Surveillance had been destroyed in many places, so how could the local government ensure the list stayed up to date?
If merely "witnessing" a crime was enough to be judged a criminal, ordinary people in this city would be the easiest ones to turn into criminals. How could they possibly live here in peace?
Even the official website on the Jixin Terminal might not be safe, and there was no guarantee that the published wanted list was entirely genuine. The only way was to find someone connected and get the real list.
But even that wasn't foolproof. The Player organization running the city had holed up downtown. They were Players too, and there was no telling whether they might set up new arrivals.
He'd better go talk to some other Players tomorrow.
After letting the father and daughter go, Xu Huo spent the night resting on the second floor. He went out the next morning, once people had begun moving about in the streets.
The Players who had kicked him while he was down nearby the previous night also came out one after another. They were extremely wary and didn't come anywhere near him, leaving quickly instead.
