Players Please Get In the Car

"Excuse me for being blunt, but the possibility that you have a national treasure or clues in this box is very low," said Fei Jingyi.

"If the national treasure is a concrete object, it can be easily transferred through the game platform, and there is no need to carry it with you."

"In the same way, clues can be easily transferred."

"Rather than using a high-tech box to create mystery, the real clue should be as ordinary as possible. I am more inclined to believe that this is specially used for fishing."

He Liang's face darkened after hearing this. "We need to open the box to find out."

How could I just give up something I had worked so hard to find?

Fei Jingyi expressed her understanding and sought opinions from others.

"In fact, as long as the island government is willing to help, we can save a lot of effort." Xu Huo said.

Whether it is opening the box, or verifying what the brand that Xiaomei knows is, or even following Wu Zishuang's clues, once the island government gets involved, results will be out soon.

"How about we give it a try?" Fei Jingyi said hesitantly.

Wu Zishuang did not want to cooperate with the government, so he took the lead and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"I won't go either." Xiaomei fiddled with the ends of her hair. "Don't worry about the government. They don't welcome players from other regions anyway."

Finally, they decided to stay outside with the painter, while Xu Huo, Fei Jingyi, He Liang and Fu Kuai went in to negotiate with the island government.

The few people went there with a cooperative mentality, so they first explained their purpose to the security personnel outside the government gate. The other party led them directly into the government building without any emotional change.

The moment they stepped into the building, the expressions of several people changed slightly, because they all realized that non-game venue simulation equipment was used in the main office building. After entering the door, they could no longer open the game panel or use any props.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is just for the safety of government officials." The player led the way. "Once you have finished your business, you can leave on your own. We will not interfere."

"Are you going to take us to see Lian Qingkong?" He Liang asked.

"We're here." The player stopped in front of a room deep in the corridor on the first floor, opened it, and motioned for them to go in. "What you want is inside."

The man left after he finished speaking. Not to mention whether Lian Qingkong would come to see them, there was no one in the room. Everyone in the office building seemed to be busy with their own things and didn't care at all about the few outsiders who came.

Then a half-man-high robot moved out from the corner and invited them into the room.

After a few people entered, the instrument embedded in the table slowly rose up, and then a deep and low voice echoed in the room.

"The island government does not need national treasures, but in order to prevent friends who have come from afar from making a wasted trip, I recorded this monologue in advance."

"The national treasure first appeared during the civil war 480 years ago. It was a joke between the ruler surnamed Gao and his friend Peng Guan. Hundreds of years later, neither the ruler surnamed Gao nor Peng Guan had any descendants who participated in the political struggle again."

"Three hundred years ago, during a brief period of peace in the island nation, there was a particularly large earthquake that cracked a mountain in the east of the island nation. The local army responsible for the survey discovered a secret training ground, where the Supreme God Church trained secret assassins."

"After much investigation, it was found that the way they trained killers was similar to that of the assassin families of the past. As a result, the rulers at the time believed that the descendants of Pengguan had replaced the core members of the Supreme God Cult and had become 'national treasures' in another way."

"However, after nearly thirty years of hunting and killing, the main forces of the Supreme God Church were completely wiped out, and the mention of the national treasure disappeared from national records."

"The square tripod round fox token and the black mercury fire flag were once the tokens of important members of the Supreme God Cult of this generation. These tokens and flags were later privately kept by the ruler."

"All the deceased members of the Supreme God's Inquisition 20 years ago were genetically compared with the descendants of Peng Guan more than 300 years ago. There is no kinship."

"When the previous Archon was deprived of power, he did seek help from the Supreme God Tribunal, but the followers of the Supreme God Tribunal do not have the strength to participate in the player war, and were killed by Gao Hui after refusing to help. The power class that protected Gao Hui from leaving the capital was in line with his interests, and the Supreme God Church did not participate in it."

"Gao Hui has nothing to do with the Gao rulers of four hundred years ago. The bloodline of the rulers of the Yu Kingdom has never been passed down for more than three generations, and every time a dynasty changed, the blood relatives of the previous rulers were almost all wiped out, and those with the same surname who were not related by blood all changed their surnames. Most of the famous surnames that appeared in government officials later were changed according to the region. Gao Hui was born in the same place as the Gao ruler of four hundred years ago. His original surname was Dou."

"It is confirmed that none of the followers of the Supreme God's Inquisition survived. All the followers of the Inquisition mentioned by any player organization later were imposters. The same goes for the national treasures. The tokens and flags they used to prove that they were in possession of the national treasures were also national cultural relics that had been lost through various means."

"More than 80% of the public assassination cases were caused by internal fighting among players. In more than 50% of the cases, the government has identified the murderer but has not made it public."

"The high-priced wanted order issued by the government targets a batch of high-end props and instruments accumulated by the country that Gao Hui took away. However, the players who were responsible for tracking down the case more than ten years ago made it clear that these props and instruments had been dispersed by Gao Hui. Currently, a small part has been recovered, and most of them have been lost. There are no items among them that can prove the legitimacy of the current government regime."

"The regime of the island nation has changed frequently since ancient times. There is no token or certificate that is recognized by the whole country to represent orthodoxy. Even if there is, it is useless now."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"In addition, Gao Hui died fifteen years ago, and his remains have been recovered."

The recording ended here. They had all the key information they should and shouldn't know, but this conclusion was not what they wanted.

"That's it?" He Liang was puzzled. "If it's just this kind of trivial information, why bother spending all this time?"

This recording illustrates several issues.

First, the previous Chief Consul Gao Hui is dead, and the wanted warrant is for lost props and instruments, not any keepsakes or national treasures.

Secondly, the Church of the Supreme God did not have the strength to participate in the player war twenty years ago, so naturally it did not participate. The believers of the Inquisition were all wiped out, so those player organizations that later claimed to have found the national treasure were just throwing smoke bombs.

Third, assassinations against players who claim to have found the "national treasure" are mostly internal strife. They do not have the "national treasure", so the assassins cannot take it away.

Fourth, in the cultural heritage of the island nation, there is no power token with a certain influence that does not meet the conditions for the birth of the so-called "national treasure". Tokens, flags, or other possible historical relics are just relics.

"If there was no treasure, how did this copy come into being?" He Liang certainly didn't believe it.

"If it's not a specific object, then what else can quickly stabilize the crumbling island nation?" Fei Jingyi pondered, "Unless it's someone with absolute power, or someone who can mobilize this person's token."

"Whether it's a person or something, besides Gao Hui, I'm afraid only Lian Qingkong knows about it. They also said that Gao Hui is dead. Doesn't this mean that we can only get the answer from the government?" He Liang looked unhappy. "If there really is such a player, then why would there be player organizations that provoke the government every now and then?"

Judging from the current situation and the result after 20 years, it doesn't make sense whether the treasure is an object or a person, but this recording reveals an important message. (End of this chapter)
