After receiving Qin Ran's private message, Broker replied at once.

Mo Nian: It's simple.

Mo Nian: You and Lawless just need to reach the place where those people are holding Cole.

2567: Cole isn't in one of the Killer Players' rooms?

Mo Nian: Of course not!

Qin Ran frowned.

That wasn't what he had expected.

If he wanted to abduct someone safely, he certainly wouldn't take them anywhere but his own game room.

Unless...

The Killer Players are trying to lure us into a trap!

The thought struck Qin Ran.

It was the only explanation for why the Killer Players hadn't taken Cole into a player's room—and why they had sent that screenshot.

As for the ambush at the scene?

Black Prison Banning probably has little to do with the Killer Players who abducted Cole!

He and that player called Shadow Assault must be another group entirely!

Broker said something similar before: "One of their leaders is very interested in me and Lawless!"

So the Killer Players have a large organization, but it's divided into factions!

All the Killer Players can claim the bounty on Lawless and me, but the factions have chosen different methods. They're competing!

Qin Ran's mind raced as several questions fell into place.

So good that it seemed he had people among the Killer Players.

The next moment, while Lawless and Zor put on a show of talking, Qin Ran probed Broker by message.

2567: Are you sure?

Mo Nian: Of course!

Mo Nian: Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you and Lawless!

Mo Nian: I have reliable information that one of their leaders is very interested in either you or Lawless.

Mo Nian: I think this is a chance to strike back.

Mo Nian:
