How did you know?

Wu Xing was extremely vigilant. Although the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, their words had almost revealed all of his whereabouts and purpose, which was truly frightening.

"Just as I thought."

Wang Ye nodded. Just as he had guessed, a man as intelligent as the King of Qin would never do something without a reason. There must be a reason for such drastic measures.

Either there is nothing in this world that threatens him, but that is clearly not the case. The method of directly shutting down a certain area is a terrifying method that can deal with any powerful person. So since the other party has such methods, the King of Qin must have some ulterior motive for angering them.

The King of Qin probably has no foundation here. If he did, he wouldn't have used such ruthless methods. If I'm not mistaken, the other side will definitely leave one survivor to use that so-called special ID to try to infiltrate the upper echelons of this world and seize the command center.

According to Heavenly Secrets's intelligence, this country was stolen by nine large aristocratic families in the digital age. Although political forces rose one after another afterward, the nine aristocratic families that initially controlled the underlying technology of the Data City have always remained steadfast. The people of the nine aristocratic families have independent IDs, and their movements are not recorded by the authorities. They belong to a privileged class!

Therefore, it can be almost concluded that if the King of Qin wanted to quickly infiltrate the upper echelons of this world, he would definitely leave someone alive and use the ID of a scion from one of the aristocratic families to quickly infiltrate the upper echelons.

And once he uses the ID of any aristocratic family member, that family member will definitely come to the scene in person as a precaution.

" The Wu Family." Wang Ye looked at the other party. Now he could almost confirm the candidate. According to the news, the person in charge of this project was a junior member of the Wu Family named Wu Xiaoli, who was also Jiang Xiaoling's direct superior.

It seems that the King of Qin was holding the other party hostage.

"What exactly do you want?" Wu Xing asked coldly.

"We want to help," Wang Ye said, looking at the other man. "If this general doesn't want such a tragedy to happen again, we hope he can assist us."

"What world are you from? Who are you? Chen Qing's people? Or those older generation players?"

"We are Chen Qing's men," Wang Ye said directly, "But the one you summoned through that special passage this time is not Chen Qing."

"How could that be?" Wu Xing said with a dark face, "We've all undergone rigorous verification."

"How do you verify it?" Wang Ye interrupted, "Isn't it just Jiang Xiaoling's side of the story?"

Wu Xing: "."

"A newly recruited person, trained for several years, has had a task that will determine the fate of the world completely placed in their hands. General, you've acted somewhat rashly."

Wu Xing's face flushed red and then paled. They thought to themselves, "If entering the game weren't so risky, why would they use an outsider?"

"Isn't this just your side of the story?" Wu Xing sneered. "How can I believe you?"

"Then it's up to your judgment, General." Wang Ye looked at the other party seriously. "The person impersonating Chen Qing is Number One. He's extremely familiar with your system. His goal is to destroy the command center that could threaten him as soon as possible. With the closure of West China, your higher-ups will definitely contact the command center. This is his only chance. He has most likely already infiltrated the higher-ups with the help of your junior, General Wu. Once the higher-ups confirm the coordinates, you will have nothing left to threaten him!"

"Nonsense!" Wu Xing was terrified, but still instinctively retorted, "Among the younger generation of the Wu Family, only Wu Xiaoli was present this time. Wu Xiaoli would never betray her country!"

"There's no need for betrayal." Heavenly Secrets, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "There are plenty of ways to control your niece. You should have received the intelligence by now. Time is of the essence, so please don't waste time here, General. If he succeeds in the end, your Wu Family will be sinners!"

Damn it!!!

General Wu finally couldn't hold back any longer and contacted his family.

"Send over all of Wu Xiaoli's browsing history!"

A moment later, the system displayed all the places Wu Xiaoli's ID had visited. General Wu showed them directly and, looking at the browsing history, fell into deep thought.

Wu Xiaoli's browsing history only contained three items: "South China Region held an emergency meeting," "High-ranking military officials in South China Region have arrived at the conference center," and "South China Region Military Commander Hou Nanfeng personally appeared in public, emphasizing that the West China incident was a technical shutdown and urging everyone to remain calm."

South China

Wu Xing recalled what happened that morning, Hou Nanfeng had emphasized the issue of contacting the command center's coordinates several times.

No way.

Wu Xing swallowed hard, staring blankly at the other person. "Does that Number One have the means to control people?"

"He himself doesn't have any records of his talent, but don't you have any records of it?" Heavenly Secrets said coldly.

Wu Xing quickly recalled the information in the file about Number One's reported talent.

Heavenly Demon: Greedy Wolf!

Skilled in imitation and deception, it possesses two talents. The first is called the Greedy Wolf's Hand: it can copy the talents of others, up to three at a time. Its three fingers are responsible for storing abilities. The thumb needs the blood of others to acquire their abilities, while the little finger is responsible for outputting the talents of others. The more blood it has, the more times it can be used.

As for the second talent, the situation is unclear, but based on the first talent alone, the abilities of the other party are limitless. The abilities of the demons in the Demon World are unpredictable and mysterious. It is likely that they have more than one ability to control people!

"Damn it!" Wu Xing's face turned deathly pale after realizing the situation, and he immediately dialed a contact.

" Wu Xing? Where have you been? There's movement in North America Region. The armies from all four regions are closing in. This time, something big is about to happen. Where are you?"

"I'm outside, I'll be back soon. Is Commander Hou Nanfeng here?"

"Commander Nanfeng?" The other person was taken aback. "He should be here, after all, he was the one who initiated the emergency meeting."

"Are you present or not?" Wu Xing asked sternly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Answer my question first!

I haven't seen anyone yet. Let me ask around for you.

"Okay, reply to me as soon as possible." Wu Xing nodded in response.

After hanging up, Wu Xing looked at the old man and the young man in front of him and said seriously, "What is the purpose of your visit, gentlemen? You didn't come here specifically to remind me, did you?"

"We're here on Chen Qing's orders to stop Number One," Wang Ye said with a smile. "Compared to that madman, King of Qin, Chen Qing is more willing to trust a mature Federation organization."

"Mr. Chen is truly farsighted," Wu Xing said with a smile, though inwardly he was utterly skeptical and could only speculate about the true reason for their visit.

However, the most urgent task now is to prevent Number One from destroying the command center.

Just then, the contact from earlier called back via VoIP.

"How is it?" Wu Xing asked hurriedly.

"General Hou Nanfeng's secretary just replied that he had to go out on an urgent matter and will be back soon. Wu Xing, you'd better come over quickly. The meeting is about to start. Right now, the old man in the Wu Family is already out of his mind, your promising niece's fate is unknown, and that person in the command center might have been involved in the shutdown incident and will most likely be held accountable. Right now, you're the only pillar of the Wu Family left, so don't give anyone cause for gossip at this crucial moment."

"I understand, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xing looked at the two men. "Gentlemen, since you've already anticipated this, you must already have a plan, right? Time is of the essence, so please stop keeping us in suspense!"
