Chapter 1095: Chapter 746 Hostage

Li Changhe’s consideration was not without reason; when it came to seduction, it seemed he could only entice young girls. Hehehe, young girls were quite receptive to this approach...

*Cough*, of course, the reverse was true as well.

After all, Li Changhe’s luck with women had always been poor.

To draw the attention of the soul possessor and have it possess him, the success rate might be quite low.

"This is where Brother Feng needs to step in... He should be pretty familiar with this stuff," Li Changhe thought. Compared to himself, He Feng’s charm with the ladies was strong. He Feng had close relationships with several female players. Apparently, after adding temporary teammates as [Friends], their relationships inexplicably improved. He even often received little gifts, and after the disaster fog, he even received Epic Level medicinal items, which shocked Li Changhe and the others. Mr. Bai and Xiang Wu were extremely envious.

"You really do turn to Brother Feng when there’s trouble, and to the box when there’s not," Yun Ting complained.

"I’m already being nice by not calling him Mrs. Niu! That guy who betrays his manhood," Li Changhe retorted, then pondered, "So, speaking of which, how should I draw his attention to get him to possess me? It can’t just be because I’m handsome, right?"

"If we’re talking about appearances, that big star is obviously a better choice. That’s probably one of the reasons why the possessor is targeting him," Yun Ting replied. "Maybe... you’ll have to rely on your status advantage."

"My status..." Li Changhe mused thoughtfully.

My status... a Champion Level player, the Crownless King of the Battle Power Rankings?

That definitely won’t work, it would scare the possessor away on the spot.

The possessor, having hidden for so long, must be extremely cautious and prudent.

They would never rashly attempt to take over a player’s body.

But family members of official players... now that’s an attractive choice.

If you look at it from the perspective of the possessor, successfully possessing a player’s family member would reap significant benefits. They could gain the protection of the officials and also glean some inside information from the officials.

Of course, daring to possess an official’s family member would also increase the likelihood of being discovered.

But how to let him know I am a player’s family member?

Li Changhe pondered in his heart and reached out to [Friends].

Xiao Nan, Chen Yu, Brother Dong, Luo Kai, and the others were all dealing with the Apocalypse Song and couldn’t be distracted.

He could only contact He Feng, who was still in Yanyun, and Mr. All-known, who was evacuating the crowd.

Pan Ke quickly responded, saying, "So that’s it, it turns out to be soul possession... Little Uncle, the Possessor hasn’t been discovered up to now. He must have used some method to erase his traces."

"Traces?" Li Changhe asked back.

"Yes, this kind of soul possession technique would obviously cause unimaginable harm to the target person. Even if the possessor’s soul leaves the target, they would become vegetative or intellectually damaged and turn into an idiot. But I just checked, and there have been no such cases in Nanzhe recently. So, there’s only one possibility."

"He... killed the person he possessed," Li Changhe thought, realizing that if the person possessed died, outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell if they had been possessed.

"Correct, that’s the only possibility," Pan Ke responded. "I’m having the members look up recent death cases. Perhaps we can find some clues. However, since the possessor is able to avoid the Association’s calculations, they must have some kind of special ability. You must be very careful. Also, if that director is really Yinhu, you must be wary of his Demon-quelling Skill; he is the one who developed this Magical Skill. He may be protected by the Book of Heaven, but we have fought him several times, and his demons are very strong."

"All right. That’s useful intel," Li Changhe thought.

On the other side, He Feng responded, "I understand your thinking. You want to shift the Possessor’s focus from that star onto yourself. As a divine being with God Sin Big Lead, and with Brother Ting guarding your Spirit World, such possession would be useless against you. Attempting to possess you would be a death wish. You’re right, presenting yourself as a player’s family member to attract him is a good option. But it will require the cooperation of others."

"Understood," Li Changhe replied.

Then he contacted Pan Ke again, asking his help to reach out to the non-frontline members of the Great Wall.

Now, Xiao Nan had already headed to the coastline to suppress the tsunami. Chen Yu and Yang Dong had entered the eastern part of the city to confront the source of the Catastrophe, the Apocalypse Song.

He dared not contact them, as it was a major taboo to be distracted during such a crisis. Of course, they wouldn’t be paying attention to messages in [Friends] at this time.

Soon, Li Changhe received a reply.

It was a message from Luo Kai, who had been seriously injured in previous actions and had not entered the eastern city. He now indeed had the opportunity to contact Li Changhe.

"I understand the situation. The members of the Safe Zone will highlight your presence. But..." Luo Kai hesitated before responding, "We also have a stipulation, not to engage in fierce battle within the Safe Zone."

Current Canghai City had turned into hell on Earth, with earthquakes causing the eastern part and its surroundings to collapse in large numbers, and huge tornadoes roaring through the sky, thunder clapping as they swept across the land. Meanwhile, on the coastline, Xiao Nan and a few capable players were fighting against the tsunami.

The Great Wall players, Great Wall Special Forces, and player organizations that came to help were all combating the Catastrophe. The only protection available to the people was these Safe Zones. If a violent battle broke out in the Safe Zones, it could potentially kill them.

This was the only request from the Great Wall.

"Don’t worry, I may not be a good person, but I am not a lunatic who senselessly slaughters," Li Changhe responded. "However, what do you intend to do?"

"Due to the existence of the Book of Heaven, if we take direct action against the Tianyan Association, we will be immediately detected. So what we need to do is to let outsiders know that you are a family member of our official player, and of a very high level," Luo Kai responded. "Generally speaking, this is very dangerous. Quite a few player organizations have taken notice of players’ families."

"But if they come after me, they’re the ones who are unlucky," Li Changhe mused. The protection of families by officials was very tight. It was precisely because quite a few players harbored certain intentions."

The next second, Li Changhe saw Zhao Qianhui, who had been guarding the entrance, walking straight towards him.

"Please follow me, it’s not safe for you here..." Zhao Qianhui said to Li Changhe with a very serious expression.

"Quite a convincing act..." Li Changhe silently nodded and obediently followed behind Zhao Qianhui. They arrived at another side of the shelter, where there were several special squad members and police officers.

"Hold on, what’s wrong with this young man?" someone from the crowd called out.

"He seems to be a family member of an official player," someone replied.

"Just because he’s a player’s family member, he gets extra protection? That’s too unfair," some voiced their frustration.

"His family is out there fighting some monsters, protecting us. It makes sense to do so, both emotionally and reasonably. Otherwise, when the player returns and finds their family in trouble, it would be too disheartening," someone expressed understanding.

"Him... I think I know something. I’ve seen him at a sports meet before. What’s his name... Li something..." a student-looking person replied. "Later, I heard that his beautiful girlfriend is a player. And apparently, she’s of no low status."

"A meal ticket that’s hard to eat?" someone sighed. "I’m envious."

Alright, those speaking were actually official members mixed in the crowd. They might not be players, perhaps disguised members of the special squad.

This sort of fueling the fire made Li Changhe want to laugh.

That was enough; the message had been passed on.

Meanwhile, the college student glanced at Li Changhe from a distance, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Turns out to be a high-ranking family member... What a pleasant surprise," he mused.

Members of the Tianyan Association in the corner, however, had fallen into a strange silence.

The death of that Tianyan Association member had hit them hard. They even dared not take any action.

"The Book of Heaven cannot be wrong, unless a new variable has interfered with the Book’s deductions," Yinhu pondered. "Who could it be..."

"How shall we proceed then?" a Tianyan Association member asked quietly. "If there’s a variable, won’t our plan fail?"

Without the protection of the Book of Heaven, they dared not face the Possessor.

If they weren’t careful and got possessed themselves, wouldn’t they be doomed?

Only by following the deductions of the Book of Heaven could they ensure that the target of the Possessor was Tang Lai.

"If it doesn’t work out... then let’s escape from here," a member suggested. "With the Book of Heaven’s prediction going wrong, we will be in even more danger here!"

The Book of Heaven had indicated that there wouldn’t be significant casualties in this Safe Zone, but now that the Book had erred, there was a good chance of more dangerous incidents occurring. The best course of action was to leave immediately.

Otherwise, the next earthquake might just kill them. Or, the Possessor might target them for possession.

It was like following a guide in a highly difficult game when suddenly you’re told that the guide is wrong.

"When we came, we had already checked. There are five official players in this shelter and seven armed special squad members. One player is injured, and the strongest is maintaining the electricity, so he won’t be able to assist if we launch a surprise attack. The levels of the others are not high. But forcing a breakthrough might still be a bit risky," someone replied.

And Yinhu glanced at Li Changhe, who was being protected in the corner, "Don’t worry, they have delivered to us a very good hostage. If necessary, we’ll take him as our hostage."

"Yes."

Tang Lai, having secretly executed a magical skill to eavesdrop, heard this statement.

He couldn’t help but think, "A hostage... this is too interesting!"

Family members of players... indeed the Achilles’ heel of many players.

Many players ended up being tools for player organizations because their families were controlled by such groups.

Forced to supply equipment or game currency to the organizations, they often met with poor ends.

This was one of the main reasons why players concealed their identities.

But have you ever considered, in the group of these official family members,

There is one whose power is extremely terrifying, the Crownless King!
