At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Mu You boarded a special plane arranged internally by the Irregularity Bureau.

In addition to him, there are 21 other members on this trip, a total of 22 people. The name is an inspection and exchange group, allowing the official organizations of the two countries to increase exchanges, exchange management and construction experience, etc.

However, in fact, all those who came were the main combatants, led by the Blood Emperor and five other dragon group masters. The others were also elite masters sent by the different bureaus from various places, and the lowest level was level 15.

"This is information about this mission. The intelligence department collected and sorted it out overnight yesterday. We will check it carefully to avoid being unprepared."

After taking off, a director of the Dragon Group distributed a thick stack of information to all members.

Mu You took a brief look and found that the information was much more detailed than what Lu Yao had investigated. He basically uncovered all the past and present lives of the Fenglei Sect organization.

"The point is this person."

The director pointed to the photo on one page. The photo showed a young man wearing glasses, it was Tetsuya Kusanagi.

"The personality contrast between this person before and after is too great. Based on the information provided by Captain Ghost, we guess that this person may have been replaced by some kind of creature from another world."

"In other words, the enemy we have to deal with this time may not be human!"

After the director finished speaking, other people on the plane looked at each other, but they did not question it, because the cause and effect information had been clearly written. This matter cannot be completely determined, but it is highly likely to be a fact.

The director then continued to explain the key points in several pieces of information.

After Muyou flipped through the information, he put away the information, took out his phone, and logged in to the game.

[You appear in a dark and damp underground factory...]

The game is online, still in the headquarters of the Undead.

After a whole day of idle exploration in robot form, Muyou found two remaining pages of Louise's diary.

[…With Mianmian’s help, I gradually adapted to life here… They provided me with a clean residence, enough food every day, and distributed many toys to me… But I don’t know why,

I always feel that life here is so depressing, as if there are countless pairs of eyes spying on me from invisible places all the time. This makes me wake up in the middle of the night and become suspicious...especially when I wake up tonight

, I saw a figure standing in front of my door. The light from the window shone, diagonally elongating all the objects outside the door into a shadow, but only this person's shadow lay straight behind him.

, incompatible with other shadows around me, which made my hair stand on end... This person told me to go to bed on time, but I had the illusion that this sentence was not said by him, but by the shadow on the ground...

...God, who can come and save me? I want to go back to my grandma. Every minute and every second here is a kind of torture...

——3/8】

[...I have been able to feel the existence of that 'monster' more and more clearly recently. Late every night, when I listen carefully, I can always hear waves of rude exhalations like bellows coming from the west.

came from the direction... I gradually confirmed that the monster legends here are probably true... I am a little worried about the friends who disappeared recently. They were taken away by the administrator in pairs and never came back.

, Mianmian disappeared too... Fortunately, I still have Sayaka with me. She has been very scared since she came in, just like me back then. And I also learned from Mianmian back then, constantly enlightening and comforting her, helping her.

She adapted to the life here, and we quickly became good friends who talked about everything... Until this morning, I heard some familiar footsteps passing by my door. I hurriedly lay in front of the door to check.

The shadow cast in the distance felt very familiar to me: it was definitely the shadow of Xiao Dou Ya! It had been three days since he was taken away. I thought he would never come back, but I didn’t expect to see him again.

Him!

I happily wanted to call Xiao Dou Ya, but when I poked my head out, what happened next made me despair: the shadow that passed my room and walked towards the distance was not connected to Xiao Dou Ya, but the person who looked like

The administrator is as stupid as a stick. I remember that he had no shadow before, but now, as if he has found some treasure, he looks back at the shadow behind him step by step, his face is full of pride...

——7/8】

These two pages of diary are longer than the previous one, and contain more information. Especially the second one, which mentions many keywords, such as the administrator of the pole, and the legend of 'monster'. In addition, it mentions '

Mianmian' is gone, but there is a new character named 'Sayaka'.

Speaking of Sayaka, why does this name sound like a Japanese name...

In short, the second fragment of the page contains a lot of information, but they are all clues that have no beginning or end.

In comparison, what really attracted Mu You's attention at this moment was the diary on the previous page.

In the diary 3-8, it is mentioned that there is a person who checks the lights out and bed situation at the door like a dormitory manager at night. In this process, a phenomenon is specifically stated: the shadow of the administrator and the shadow direction of other objects around him.

It’s different. The other shadows are all shining diagonally, which means the light is shining diagonally, but this person’s shadow stands straight behind him...

Of course, this may be an illusion caused by the fright of the little girl, but if this sentence describes the real situation, then the amount of information is huge.

Perhaps these shadow people cannot control the direction in which their shadows appear?

This is correct when you think about it. If the shadow and the body belong to different people, and even the shadow has its own thoughts, then it is very likely that this grafted shadow cannot naturally change direction with the light like a normal shadow, but can

They will always stay behind people unless they actively spend time adjusting.

This guess may become an important means to distinguish between real people and shadow people.

Mu You thought for a while, switched to Captain Ghost's account on the forum, and told Jiuyou this information.

After Jiuyou received the news, it immediately synchronized the information to the mission personnel.

About five minutes later, the director in charge of leading the group on the plane suddenly stood up, pretended to go to the bathroom, and walked through the cabin while quietly sweeping under the feet of everyone on the seat.

It wasn't until he had looked at everyone that he returned to the front of the cabin and clapped his hands.

"I have the latest information. I have posted it on the mission interface. Everyone can take a look."

He then shared the news on everyone’s Longteng software.

"The direction of the shadow..."

"So that's it..."

After everyone saw it, they subconsciously looked at their feet.

"I'm not sure whether this information is true or not for the time being. In short, when you go there, take more snacks to avoid being stolen by the enemy without knowing it."

"Understood!"

……

Two hours later, the plane landed at Tokyo International Airport.

It can be seen that Japan attaches great importance to this exchange group's visit and directly closed the entire airport.

Almost all the official members of the Defense Club, the official player organization in Japan, were present, and many etiquette ladies were called, at least two hundred of them, lined the aisles on both sides of the airport exit to welcome him.

Everyone in the exchange group was not surprised by this, because in terms of player strength, there is no comparability between the two countries.

Are there any master players in Japan? Of course there are, and there are even masters who can be known internationally, but after all, they are only a handful.

The strength of individual masters does not represent the strength of the entire country.

This is mainly because Japan has a special geographical location. The location corresponding to their map in the Star Spirit Realm is not land, but an endless ocean. When Japanese players enter the game, they all start with a small boat and search on the sea.

Of course, accumulating resources is not as fast as communicating with NPCs on the mainland.

What's even more tragic is that the land closest to their birthplace is the Cook Islands, a chaotic area full of evil people. From what happened to the residents of Dawn City when they went to the island, you can imagine how ordinary Japanese players tried to log in after entering the game.

The result of the Cook Islands, most people didn’t even have their pants left after they landed on the island, and almost had to shed a layer of skin before they could escape from that hellish place.

Being born in such a bad place naturally seriously slows down the development speed of ordinary Japanese players in the game.

Therefore, compared to the world's player circle, the average player strength in Japan is weak in the middle and lower grades. Compared with some small surrounding countries, it may not be comparable to it, let alone the world's number one, and there is almost no controversy.

Compare in the player circle.

To put it bluntly, China’s initiative to bring an exchange delegation to visit this time is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction blow for the island country.

Just look at the level of the people who came to greet them. The Defense Society is an official organization recognized in Japan. As a result, there were more than 200 people on site, and only about ten people were over level 15. There were no epic masters over level 20.

No, most of them are mid-level players who come to support the scene.

On the Chinese side, there are only twenty-two people in the exchange group, led by two experts above level 20, and the others are all high-level players above level 15. In terms of strength, they have already crushed the entire opposite club.

, whether it is the pressure on the scene or the confidence brought by the country behind it, the two sides are not on the same level, and the attitude of the other party is naturally more humble.

The directors of the Blood Emperor and the Dragon Group walked out on behalf of everyone and shook hands with the president and vice-president of the Defense Club who came forward to greet them.

The president of the Defense Club, Makiyama Hayata, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with the highest level among all the people present in Japan. He reached level 20 and was stuck on the evolution potion.

Other things are not difficult to obtain with the efforts of the whole country, but the evolution potion is the only thing that is not available.

Therefore, he sincerely welcomes the visit of the Chinese envoy. They are the only place in the world with a stable source of evolutionary medicines. Although most of the medicines have been digested by the Chinese themselves, there will still be some due to

Various considerations flowed out.

If we can use this meeting to reach cooperation on evolutionary potions, that would be great. Even if we can't reach cooperation, there is definitely no harm in lowering our stance towards top player forces like China.

Makiyama Hayata's attitude was very low, and other senior members of the rear defense club also followed suit, while the Blood Emperor and the director only responded to them one by one with formulaic smiles.

"Your Majesty the Blood Emperor, and all distinguished guests, we have prepared a banquet to welcome you all!" Makiyama Hayata said with a smile.

"There's no need to go to the banquet. President Hayata, let's get down to business. I heard that your company had sent people to seal the Fenglei Gate in the early hours of the morning?" the Blood Emperor said.

"Yes, we arranged for people to conduct a raid at four o'clock in the morning, but unfortunately it was a step too late. When we went there, the Feng Lei Gate station was already empty, and everything had been moved cleanly. No clues were left behind.

"Makiyama Hayata said.

The Blood Emperor and the director looked at each other.

The director looked at Makiyama Hayata and said: "President Hayata, the information we got here is that at three o'clock in the morning local time, traces of human activities were photographed in Feng Lei Gate. As a result, when you checked at four o'clock, there was no one there.

, even the things were moved cleanly, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”

"Is it possible that someone inside you is leaking secrets?"
