Chapter 395: Chapter 72: Consequences

"Azhen~ fell in love with Aqiang..." In Mr. Bai’s Pet Shop, a strange ringtone rang.

"Ha!" A black cat lying on someone’s lap watching TV spoke in a human voice with extreme disdain: "You have a rather unique taste. Also, stop stroking! You won’t get any [Sequence Gene] even if you stroke all my fur off!"

Li Changhe looked at the cat fur in one hand, having tried it many times already.

But taking the cat fur to the [Evolution Game] didn’t produce any results, not even a note. It was just like ordinary cat fur, only a bit tougher.

"Your understanding is mundane. In order to stay in this world, I can only project an ordinary kitten." the black cat explained: "There’s no difference between this and the cats in your world."

Li Changhe nodded in understanding, and then threw Little Black away with a disgusted expression.

"Why do you act cute in front of me?" He made an image of a ruthless playboy.

"Even though I am not a human, you are truly a dog." The black cat complained: "If only I didn’t mention it, it was quite comfortable."

Li Changhe was still waiting for Mr. Bai to finish his investigation.

Regarding the [Evolution Game], he might not be as knowledgeable as Mr. All-known. But he could access information about various events happening in the real world. After all, during the early days of becoming a [Player], he relied on this to make a living. His experience was quite extensive.

According to him, he had many ’friends’ who could help.

It would take him no more than two hours to get information about the remote village.

Li Changhe ignored Little Black’s complaints and answered the phone.

At this time, the only one who would call him was Xiao Nan.

Since [Friends] could only send messages and not make voice calls, Xiao Nan always felt that phone calls were more reliable.

"Today, let’s talk about the story of three women and one hundred and five men."

"Why... would the Water Margin turn into this kind of description in your mouth?" On the other end of the phone, the girl’s voice was crisp: "Did you guys go to Shangqiao Village today?"

Li Changhe’s heart stirred. Wasn’t Shangqiao Village the place where they killed the human traffickers today?

"We took care of some business and are already back. How did you know?" Li Changhe pondered in his heart, the girl shouldn’t know about the [Great Wall] shooting himself already, or else her tone wouldn’t be like this.

The division head didn’t dare to let her know. So he agreed with Li Changhe’s request.

And Li Changhe himself didn’t dare either.

In a way, the two personalities were quite similar. Looking at it from another perspective... things would go awry.

"This afternoon, I was strangely restless, and you had no signal when I called you. So, I knew you were handling business." The girl’s voice was soft: "Did anything unexpected happen? I had a bad feeling at the time."

Was that so...

During the operation, personal items like cell phones were stored in the [Backpack] to avoid accidental loss and exposure of identity.

It also prevented awkward situations where a sudden phone call would expose one’s location during a dangerous moment.

There is no signal inside the [Backpack].

Did the girl deduce that Li Changhe was handling business at the time based on this?

"No problem. Actually, it was just a few human traffickers in the news. However, if you really want to say something unexpected happened... Indeed, there was a slight one." Li Changhe thought about it carefully, it would be difficult to keep it from the girl, so it was better to change the topic.

He told the girl about his current headache.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Xiao Nan sighed.

Although she didn’t get along well with He Feng, she felt helpless and sad about this happening to him.

"From a rational standpoint, this is not good news." Xiao Nan whispered: "Changhe, have you thought about it? Even in the best outcome?"

"Mm... "

Li Changhe, of course, knew.

If the person taken away by the human traffickers at that time was not He Feng’s sister, everything would go back to square one.

He Feng would be lost for a while, but he would recover quickly.

Once again, he would become that strong and reliable man.

If a miracle truly happened, it wouldn’t be good news either.

For some reason, his sister didn’t die in the car accident but was taken away by that middle-aged woman.

Then the outcome of being trafficked by human traffickers could be confirmed.

The earliest transactions recorded in the human traffickers’ old cell phones were two cases, both involving remote mountain villages that couldn’t even be found on Baidu Maps.

Child brides were a bad practice in remote mountain villages.

Li Changhe remembered a news report from before.

A young woman sold into the mountains had three children by the time she was rescued.

As for the victims who went crazy or died after being abducted, it was needless to mention.

If his sister was alive and had experienced such things,

What would He Feng do in his rage?

Both of them remained silent, thinking about it all too clearly...

Thinking of this, Li Changhe somewhat regretted letting the human traffickers die so easily. It was too cheap for them!

At that time, he should have asked the medical expert, Moon God,

How to make their deaths more painful.

Or he should have regretted killing those human traffickers. That way, there wouldn’t have been any issues.

After hanging up the phone, Li Changhe stared at the TV and fell into deep thought. His heart was getting anxious.

Since things had developed to this point, he had to prepare for the worst.

If his sister was alive and actually sold to a remote mountain village,

The worst-case scenario would be that He Feng would trigger an [Instant Task].

[Players] didn’t commit crimes personally so as not to trigger this task.

By then, He Feng wouldn’t care about this issue.

Even Li Changhe himself wouldn’t care about it.

If there were any [Players] or [Great Wall] nearby,

Then the outcome wouldn’t be good...

Invisible Red Dust had slaughtered a group of scum, being hunted to death as a consequence.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Li Changhe and He Feng might follow the same path.

Li Changhe, drawn into dark thoughts, suddenly noticed a movement in his [Backpack] - that half-mask flickered slightly.

"What is this..."

Just as he thought, He Feng suddenly rushed out of the basement, followed closely by Mr. Bai.

Li Changhe felt tense, but before he could speak, he heard He Feng shout: "Li, I need to go on a trip. I’ll bring you back some local products!"

Did it mean they had already found out the results?

"Damn it, I will go with you. Where are you going?"

"We need to search some more. I’ll try to be back before the new year."

He Feng had a smile on his face, took off his coat, and put on the vest sewn with [Insect God’s Inner Membrane].

He looked like he wanted to leave right away.

Li Changhe asked Mr. Bai in [Friends]: "Bai, do you know what the worst case might be?"

"I do, but I don’t think there should be any problems this time. I will go with him." Mr. Bai quickly responded.

"Those villages are too old. Some of them have even changed their names, but thankfully we can still find clues in the news from a few years ago."

"What clues?"

"A human trafficker gang was arrested ten years ago, and they gave up the names of those villages. Thousands of police cooperated and successfully rescued everyone. If his sister was indeed there."

"Checking the local orphanage records should provide the result."
