Chapter 489: Good News
Liu Xing glanced at Zhang Wenbing and noticed that despite his injuries, Zhang Wenbing remained clear-headed. So, he turned to Zhang Jingxu and asked, "Zhang Jingxu, did Zhang Wenbing bring back any intelligence when he returned?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded, smiling as he replied, "That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. Since Liu Xing has already asked, I’ll tell you now. Firstly, after realizing that he was being hypnotized by a follower of the Cult of the Cadaver, Zhang Wenbing pretended to be hypnotized by them. Fortunately, Zhang Wenbing’s acting skills were good enough to deceive the follower, gaining their trust and being assigned to attend a training session at EinsCastle."
"Of course, this so-called training is just further brainwashing of foreign tourists by the Cult of the Cadaver, informing them of what they should do after being released. The most crucial step is when they receive a phone call with the last five digits as 12450, they are to find excuses to bring people they know into their rooms, then lock the door and await further instructions. And these further instructions likely involve Ghoul transforming them into blood men."
"As for how Ghoul manages to transform people into blood men, it’s done by feeding them capsules containing small parasites. Fortunately, the leader of the Cult of the Cadaver was somewhat arrogant, simply instructing his subordinates to distribute the capsules to the tourists without personally ensuring they consumed them. So, Zhang Wenbing managed to conceal the capsule given to him."
"Later, when Zhang Wenbing was alone, he curiously opened the capsule and discovered a tiny worm inside. It seems Ghoul uses these parasites to turn humans into blood men and controls them through them. Additionally, I’ve informed Chris to incinerate all the recovered blood man corpses."
"Furthermore, due to the lack of vigilance towards the fully brainwashed foreign tourists by the Cult of the Cadaver, Zhang Wenbing could freely wander around EinsCastle and Eins Town. He discovered a lack of cooperation among the Cult of the Cadaver followers between EinsCastle and Eins Town, indicating internal factions within the Cult of the Cadaver. So, Zhang Wenbing delved deeper into this and made a significant discovery."
"It turns out that the Cult of the Cadaver followers stationed at EinsCastle are under Rayna’s command, essentially locals from Manchester. Meanwhile, those stationed in Eins Town include some under Bai Hecheng’s command and others transferred from elsewhere. The outsiders are not well-received by the locals, mostly tasked with menial work and living conditions inferior to the locals’, and Bai Hecheng also obeys Rayna."
"From this, we can deduce that Rayna currently holds power within the Cult of the Cadaver in Manchester, with Bai Hecheng merely playing a supporting role. Moreover, there are significant internal conflicts within the Cult of the Cadaver. Hence, if our next move is arranged properly, we only need to deal with Rayna’s followers because Bai Hecheng’s followers won’t rush to support EinsCastle immediately."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. This was indeed good news.
Because if the current leader of the Cult of the Cadaver in Manchester was an NPC instead of a player, Liu Xing felt that the pressure on their side would significantly decrease. After all, only players understood players. While any PvE game could be easily conquered with a strategy, there were no guides for PvP.
So, dealing with Rayna was much easier than dealing with Bai Hecheng. Once Rayna’s weakness was found, dealing with her would be straightforward.
What could Rayna’s weakness be?
Perhaps, Rayna’s ex-wife and children!
Before Liu Xing could speak, Zhang Jingxu interjected, "I know what you’re thinking, Liu Xing. Compared to Bai Hecheng, who has already lost his mind but still has deep feelings, Rayna, who is much easier to deal with despite her deep emotional ties, so we’ve already asked Chris to find Rayna’s ex-wife and children. If everything goes smoothly, we’ll have results soon. After all, Rayna’s ex-wife and children are legal citizens of England, so finding them is quite easy; we just need to access some identity information to determine their whereabouts."
Liu Xing nodded, though still somewhat hesitant. "That’s good to hear, but there’s an old saying in China—’Disaster does not reach the family.’ Are we not acting somewhat unethically?"
In addition, Miguel brought back both good and bad news. The good news was that Miguel had exposed Sanna’s lie—there was only one armed helicopter in EinsCastle. However, the bad news was that this armed helicopter had already replenished its ammunition, and its heavy machine gun could fire continuously for a minute!
This meant that although the Cult of the Cadaver only had one airborne firepower point, it still posed a significant threat to their group. The storm of thousands of bullets could easily wipe them out.
So, the biggest problem Liu Xing’s group faced now was how to deal with this armed helicopter. If they couldn’t resolve it, their group would inevitably suffer significant casualties or even be wiped out. After all, as long as the armed helicopter provided suppressive fire from the air, the Cult of the Cadaver followers on the ground could easily rush over and capture them.
Therefore, Ryuzaki, Jack, Buke, and Miguel, the most experienced in combat, gathered together to discuss how to deal with the armed helicopter at the lowest cost.
At that moment, Liu Xing saw Ling Ishikawa chatting with Hu Li.
A sudden idea struck Liu Xing, realizing a method that should easily deal with the armed helicopter.
Ling Ishikawa’s electric-based magic spells!
The armed helicopter’s electronic devices and related components were abundant and could be said to be interconnected. A problem with just a few components could lead to the helicopter losing control and crashing.
Ling Ishikawa’s electric-based magic spells would be a potent weapon against the armed helicopter. A hit from his spells could cause immeasurable damage to the helicopter’s electronic components. Once hit, the helicopter would be rendered unable to fly.
With this in mind, Liu Xing immediately called Ling Ishikawa over and informed Buke and the others about Ling Ishikawa’s ability.
Then, Liu Xing had Ling Ishikawa demonstrate his electric-based magic spells.
After watching Ling Ishikawa’s demonstration, Buke earnestly said, "No problem. As long as Ling Ishikawa can hit the armed helicopter with his electric-based magic spells, the helicopter will be rendered useless. But speaking of which, Ling Ishikawa, would you be interested in letting me draw some of your blood, a strand of your hair, and even some nail clippings and skin flakes? I’m very curious about how you can use magic spells. I want to know if it’s due to some kind of physical mutation."
Seeing Buke’s excited expression, Ling Ishikawa firmly shook his head and said, "I choose to refuse, Mr. Buke, because casting magic spells is related to my mental strength, not any physical differences."
