Chapter 218: Chapter 217: Chaotic Night (1)

[Task Failure]

[Failure Penalty: None]

"So, I fought with all my might, killed a Mysterious Species creature with the back of my head, and they didn’t even give me a single game coin?" He Feng complained, "If it hadn’t been for achieving the Backstabbing Achievement, this would have been a total loss."

"Give it a rest, I had to erase the memories of more than a dozen people along the way. My energy is almost exhausted." Mr. Bai grumbled while sipping a Low-efficiency Energy Potion, "After all that, we didn’t even secure the house, and I had to use up a potion."

"Alright, I’ll treat you to a late-night snack tonight. Stop complaining." Li Changhe shrugged.

The three of them were in the surveillance room of the residential community, where they had used Mr. Bai’s abilities to hypnotize the property management staff and delete the footage of their presence.

Before that, they had also located the community residents they met upon entering and erased their memories of Li Changhe and his companions.

Now they finally felt at ease sitting in Mr. Bai’s car.

They could leave the rest to [Great Wall]. Ordinary [players] like Li Changhe couldn’t stand against an organization like the Tianyan Association.

The three of them had been quite busy, not receiving any [Task Rewards]. But at least He Feng had achieved an [Achievement], and Li Changhe had got a [Task Item], so it wasn’t a complete loss.

Just as they were about to drive home, Li Changhe received a call from Xiao Nan.

Although [Friends] could send quick messages, they couldn’t hear each other’s voices. So, before they started the [Task], they would communicate through their phones if conditions allowed.

Li Changhe naturally didn’t mention that he had almost provoked the Tianyan Association. Instead, he told Xiao Nan to be extra careful during the [Task].

"Don’t worry, this [Task] is quite troublesome, but there’s no immediate danger to our lives." Xiao Nan remembered that the previous Strategy Group members who had entered the [Task] had lost all their hair from overthinking. They were indeed safe, but their hair... well, that was another story.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Nan subconsciously touched her long hair and asked her teammate with some uncertainty, "Do you think changing my hairstyle would be a good idea?"

To her surprise, her teammate was Chen Yu, and they were currently in Yanyun branch’s task preparation room.

In the circular room filled with various medical equipment and consumables for rescue purposes, they were getting ready for the [Task] to start.

This was [Great Wall]’s safety net for its members and the real world at large. If it were a [Plot Task], there might be a chance of bringing diseases or plagues back from it.

These preparations would clear away any harmful status effects the moment [players] left the [Plot Task].

This time in the [Task], Chen Yu and Xiao Nan were partnered and waiting for it to begin.

Chen Yu knew that Xiao Nan was just concerned about Li Changhe because he had received news of his teammates being dispatched by [Great Wall].

Their relationship wasn’t particularly good, and this [Task] was just the best combination for Yanyun branch.

"This [Task] is very important. It’s a large-scale mission involving multiple branches. Don’t get distracted. Our opponents this time aren’t other [players], they are the game itself," Chen Yu glanced at her. It was just a teammate being dispatched, what could they be worried about?

Li Changhe had decent strength and had the support of that [General Mountain]. What danger could come his way? Was it really possible for him to run into a transcendent being or non-human species just walking down the street?

...

Elsewhere, a man in a black coat with a stubbly face dashed through the night.

It was Tang Lai after changing his appearance.

As he approached Qianhu Community, Tang Lai’s face changed slightly when he noticed many powerful people within the compound, wearing black trench coats that made them easily overlooked.

I’m too late." Tang Lai shook his head and called, "I was one step too late, [Great Wall] has taken over."

"I know, I’ve arrived as well. It’s not just [Great Wall], those transcendent beings hidden around Yanyun are also getting restless," a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Damn, I’ve checked. The Hai Ghost is targeting an Innate Yin-Yang Eye! And it has a mark left by Lord Rat Child!"

"Rat Child?" Tang Lai’s face showed a hint of emotion. Although he had recently joined the Tianyan Association, he was well aware that Rat Child was one of the twelve leaders of the Tianyan Association.

However, they were elusive, and even people within the Tianyan Association had a hard time getting close to them. At most, members could discover their arrangements and schemes, but never see their true bodies.

All matters were entrusted to their proxies, and Luo Qiao was Rat Child’s proxy.

So, was this scheme not coming from Luo Qiao, but from a higher authority figure?

"Will there be any problems?" Tang Lai asked, "What did Sister Luo say?"

"A Hai Ghost set up by Lord Rat Child himself signifies its importance to the Tianyan Association. You should know that very well," the man on the other end replied, "Take action!"

Snatching someone from [Great Wall]’s hands?" Tang Lai laughed, "If you want to commit suicide, do it yourself."

Maybe in other places, one could try relying on the numerical advantage and the unique abilities of the Tianyan Association.

But acting against [Great Wall] now would mean challenging the entire national machinery. Was it a joke that they’d be bombed into oblivion at the start of their attack?

[Sun Halo] was the perfect example. Such a large [Player Organization] had been reduced to street rats.

How many Tianyan Association members were there in Yanyun? Was it enough to take on a single [Great Wall] branch?

Moreover, so many transcendent beings were rushing here. They surely wouldn’t show mercy against the Tianyan Association.

Tang Lai was beginning to doubt the man’s sanity. He had been foolishly lured out to listen to a cold joke.

I need to leave and let Luo Qiao know not to let this idiot contact me again.

"No, of course, we won’t confront them directly. But this is Yanyun, where there are many [players], transcendent beings, and other species!" A cold laugh came from the phone, "The Chaotic Night is coming!"

Tang Lai froze, and a chill ran through his brain.

"Damn it, you want to..." Tang Lai’s face turned ugly. His body stopped abruptly, and he sprinted towards the hotel where the crew was staying.

Crazy, they’re truly crazy. Tang Lai had always known that the Tianyan Association was a bunch of madmen, but he never expected them to be this mad. It was just a scheme. Losing it wasn’t a big deal. Yet, they...

"Don’t worry, ordinary people won’t be affected. [Great Wall] is excellent at handling this aspect. As soon as they accept the task, they will ensure that civilians aren’t hurt," laughter came over the phone, "Let the hunt begin, Demon Beast Species!"

Bang!

A gong rang out not far from Qianhu Community.

Sitting in the car, Li Changhe suddenly stiffened. The Yun Ting inside him roared, "Damn it!"

Meanwhile, at the pet hospital, Little Black, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Meow?"

In the darkness of the night, countless pairs of eyes lit up.

The Chaotic Night had arrived.
