Of course, the most important thing he learned was to distinguish between truth and falsehood in intelligence.

"He carries furs and attacks with fire magic! He has special attack skills!" A black-robed stranger raised his hand and made a gesture to release fire magic.

Unfortunately, lion fur is not only fireproof but also reflects fire back. However, Blaze deliberately reacted to the fire by retreating at high speed, and the black-robed stranger immediately revealed an expression of ecstasy.

"He's really afraid of fire! He read the instructions and immediately dodged when he saw I was going to cast fire!"

"Then use fire magic to interrupt his movements! But remember to use other skills to interrupt the magic and trick the Black Beast Knight into dodging!"

The black-robed stranger immediately came up with a new plan, and the happy smile on his face made Blaze nod seriously. Although he didn't like this group of strangers, he liked the sight of strangers analyzing intelligence and making countermeasures during battle.

But isn't it a bit inappropriate to discuss countermeasures in front of him with such a loud voice?

The black-robed foreigners who thought they had found a solution immediately cooperated with each other. Although their plan was good, their coordination was a mess.

They couldn't keep up with their bodies, and when they wanted to cancel their magic use, the fire magic had already been released and kept firing like a broken faucet.

Blaze simply dodged, causing these foreigners to attack each other and bring disaster upon themselves.

After all, magic cannot be blocked by counterattack skills.

"It's so hot! I'm on fire! Help!"

"Hmm?" Blaze turned his head and looked at a stranger wrapped in flames. The stranger's body could not feel pain. Whether his limbs were chopped off or he was burned by fire, he should have no reaction.

But the stranger wrapped in flames rolled on the ground screaming with fear on his face.

"Idiot! This is just an illusion caused by the expansion of senses. Pain shielding is normal!"

The black-robed strangers around immediately went up to slap the fire to put it out, but the stranger on fire continued to scream, like someone having a nightmare.

"Log off! Log off now!"

The stranger who was set on fire was stiff for a moment, then turned into an illusory cube and disappeared. The black-robed stranger who rescued him breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to the others in front of Blaze.

"Be aware that when you're being attacked continuously, your senses will remain in a state of expansion, becoming extremely sensitive. Just looking at it will create the illusion of pain."

Blaze didn't take the opportunity to attack, he wouldn't seize such a flaw, but he remembered this strange conversation.

"Let's continue our attack on the Black Beast Knight. You guys..."

It seemed that the leading black-robed stranger had not finished speaking when Blaze began to spit fire at the surroundings. Seeing the miserable state of their former companions, the black-robed strangers were frightened and distanced themselves, shouting "Close".

Although he didn't know what [Close] meant, Blaze instinctively realized that it was related to the quick reaction of these foreigners when attacked.

Now these black-robed strangers have lost their previous terrifying reaction speed.

Blaze took out a stone and threw it at a black-robed stranger, hitting him right in the middle.

"Hmm, strangers, it's time for all of you to log off!"

Blaze pounced directly on the panicked black-robed foreigners, and each of his tough opponents became as fragile as a baby who couldn't even walk steadily.

He simply grabbed the leg of a black-robed stranger and threw him as a weapon at another black-robed stranger. The collision between the two created a beautiful firework.

"Open it, open that!"

"It's too late, run!"

"Change the target, this won't work!"

The black-robed strangers scattered like birds and beasts, trying to escape in all directions, but they were no match for Blaze's rocks. The rocks, hurled with [Thunder Throw], pierced through the strangers one by one, laced with lightning, until only the last one remained.

The black-robed stranger seemed to have certain abilities even without the help of [that person]. When Blaze made the throwing motion, he judged the trajectory and avoided it.

But the black-robed stranger was not strong enough and was easily subdued by Blaze and pinned to the ground.

"Damn it, you shit monster, reading instructions, making fake moves, and a bunch of messed up skills." The black-robed stranger spat at Blaze, but the unknown liquid he spit out fell back on his own face.

"Damn it! I'm going to file a complaint against you online. Being the one reading instructions is a disgrace to the industry!"

The black-robed stranger cursed and turned into a virtual block and disappeared.

"You're still complaining about me?" Blaze rolled his eyes and said casually, "I'll complain about you to the ogre later."

Chapter 247: Gaining Third-Class Merit in Playing Games

In the chaotic Internet cafe, an old VR game console was shut down, and a sloppy man screamed and sat up, starting to rub his body without even taking off his helmet.

Then one game console after another was closed, and more than a dozen young men with all kinds of strange hair colors sat up cursing. They were dressed almost like the stereotypical gangsters.

"Reading instructions is shitty enough, but carrying something this low-level is also a problem."

"Wasn't it said that the selling point of Godlock was a near-real-life super AI? How could there be such a clunky mechanic? I just waved my hand and he jumped back."

The hooligans complained and cursed, but of course, they did not forget to brag about the various extreme operations they had performed and shouted at the waiter to bring them beer.

"Oh my, this little toy that woman gave me is amazing. It's in full automatic bullet time. I can even feel the Black Beast Knight's fist on my face."

"Didn't that woman also say this program would collect data and learn on its own? If we keep using it, maybe we can become professional players."

"Right, right, right! If they can't even find it in Godlock, then other game companies certainly can't find it either."

The hooligans used the game cabin as a bottle opener, drinking beer in big gulps and bragging about how many games they would participate in, how many championships they would win, and which female anchors they would date in the future.

I don’t know if it was the alcohol or the bright future they imagined, but the gangsters gradually lost themselves and forgot the fear they had experienced in the game before. One of them lay back in the game cabin and the interface inside started to go crazy.

"What are you doing?"

"Go online and criticize the Black Beast Knight for reading instructions. This act of cutting corners to create a hostile AI is sure to attract a lot of sympathy and make people criticize him together." The gangster who was speaking passionately replied drunkenly.

"Isn't this a bad thing? That woman asked us to be low-key online." The person who spoke was quite rational.

"Why should we listen to that woman? Without us, who will help her complete this operation?"

"That's right, it's better to say that she should be the one to please us!"

"At the beginning, she had her female bodyguard beat us up badly."

"Isn't it because we drank too much and acted like hooligans first?" The rational person was still trying to persuade them, but the people around them had already started partying and cheering crazily.

Eventually, what was left of my sanity vanished.

A pair of hands paused on the handles of the private room, and her red eyes narrowed at the clamor inside. She withdrew her hands, slowly backed away, and disappeared into the noisy music from the internet cafe's cheap speakers.

……

Forced offline

The ogre slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a handsome young man with a fierce face. He was standing with his arms folded across his chest, glaring at him angrily.

Apparently, while he was happily beating Greenland, his beloved brother manipulated him from outside and forced him to log off. This passive forced offline would temporarily stop the body for a while, and at this moment, his body should be suffering from Greenland's crazy revenge.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to take you to training camp?"

The ogre slowly propped himself up and sat up, twisting his body according to the instructions on how to move the body after playing for a long time in the game cabin.

"There was a tour of the training camp today. As a rising star, I was surrounded by people asking for autographs as soon as the talented player Wardsifer showed up, so I came back early."

Wardsifer leaned over to look at the game console. The game interface was "Godlock". He sighed deeply.

"Brother, do you think you can find that woman in the game? She's a wanted criminal, so how could she have the time and equipment to log in?"

"This is my job." The ogre said calmly, trying to end the topic there, but Wardsif was relentless and stopped him with open arms.

"Brother, will you let go of this matter only after you catch the wanted criminal?"

The ogre didn't answer. Instead, he looked past Wardsifer at the wall, where a rare paper newspaper hung. There were two large sections: one about a vicious transnational child trafficking case being solved, and the other about a company founder who abused technology, causing injuries and is now on the run.

There were many banners hanging around the newspaper, all thanking a man for saving their son or daughter.

"At the time, we had no evidence, and the suspect's background was complicated, especially as he was a foreigner. We couldn't detain him for long, so we had no choice but to release him. This incident had a very negative impact, and the higher-ups suppressed the release. But that woman was a big fan of hacking into our systems, so she found out."

The ogre slowly sat down on the chair with little expression on his face.

"Then that person quietly took action. Kidnapping, mental torture, and abuse of technology are all serious crimes."

"I don't know if that woman acted out of a so-called sense of justice, but she did these things because we were incompetent and had no clues. This is an objective fact."

The ogre crossed his fingers and looked at the banner hanging on the wall in a flat tone. The gratitude from the victim's family made him feel uncomfortable.

"Even though that woman's true nature was that of a demon, the day she truly became a demon was to save many victimized children."

"Until now, in the eyes of most people, the transnational human trafficking case and the heinous assault incident have remained unrelated. If she were caught by someone unaware of the situation, she would probably be sent directly to prison."

"If I catch her, at least I can take her contribution to the case into consideration during the trial and give her a lighter sentence."

Wardsifer felt a little depressed, grabbing the back of his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed. After all, he was just a child and didn't understand the complexity of the matter, so he didn't even dare to tell about the clues he had found.

But he clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to speak out about the cheating problem he had recently discovered.

"Maybe it was that woman who provided these cheats."

"Do you think we can use these things to ask [G] to violate user privacy?" The Ogre did not directly deny Wardsifer's help. Instead, he listened carefully and asked the obvious question.

"I know, but I want to help you too!"

"Brother, aren't you thinking about catching that guy, that's why you stay up late playing games every day, play games during vacations, and spend a lot of money like crazy?" Wardsifer excitedly slammed his hands on the table and spoke his true thoughts to the ogre in the loudest voice of his life.

At the same time, he was mentally prepared to be taught a lesson, but for some reason, the ogre rubbed his fists and his eyes were wandering.

"Brother? Is it because you want to investigate that woman that you stay up late every day playing games, play games on vacation, and even spend money on them?" Wardsifer asked again, his eyes wide open, almost tearful, gradually turning into dead fish eyes.

"Are you already addicted?"

"Ahem, the reason is that I thought it was a bit stupid to do this, like looking for a needle in a haystack, so I gave up on myself..." The ogre coughed, skipped the admission and started to defend himself.

His years of work experience told him that as long as he didn't admit it directly, there was still room for improvement and his image as a great brother could still be maintained.

"Besides, how can you solve a case by playing games? You have to be kidding me."

Instead of responding, Wardsifer rolled his eyes at the embarrassed ogre, slung his bag over his back, and went back to his room.

The ogre rubbed his hands, and after making sure that his brother had entered the room, he immediately sat back in the game cabin and re-entered the game.

He had thought he was waiting for death, but he was standing there intact, his friends all looking at him with complicated expressions. His years of experience told him that something serious had happened, and the trigger was the Black Beast Knight Blaze, who seemed to be standing there without any awareness of the situation.

"What happened?"

"It seems Blaze has information on that wanted criminal."

"Aha!?"

Damn it, I can really catch wanted criminals by playing games.

Chapter 248: Falling into a trap

Blaze was a little confused about the situation, but under the serious expressions of Greenland and the others, he told the ogre what he knew.

Including super-fast reactions that can be turned on and off, and exaggerated reactions when being burned by flames.

After hearing this, the ogre fell into a strange silence. The Greenlanders thought that their friend was upset and immediately gathered around him.

Greenland, which had used similar technology before, spoke first.

"What Blaze described as feeling like he was on fire is exactly the same as the technology used in a dedicated machine. The person who can create such a function out of a bunch of broken parts must be that wanted criminal."

Jack the Ripper, a doctor, followed Greenland closely and said, "Considering the irreversible effects of this technology on the human brain if misused, if you have any suspicions, you can apply for some permissions to conduct an investigation."

Others also expressed their concern. Although they were strangers outside the Internet, this kind of care was as if they had known each other for many years.

The ogre could only smile helplessly and waved his hand to indicate that he had no problem.

"I was just wondering how to tell my superiors about my sources."

"Just say we helped! We want to be praised by the police!"

The sand sculpture group members immediately gathered around, especially Greenland, who squeezed in to show his presence.

"Please, let me be a person who contributes to society! I really beg you! I don't want to just contribute to the diaper business!"

"We haven't found the person yet. This little clue is like finding a needle in a haystack."

"He said he was going to complain about me. Maybe you can find them through this." Blaze said from the side.

The evil six looked at each other, and finally Greenland came out, patted Blaze's shoulder with his furry paw, and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Well, Blaze. I'm sorry to tell you, but over here, the amount of people who dislike you is as numerous as the grains of sand in the desert—so much so it makes your scalp tingle. Most importantly, people are used to following the trend and scolding you. Many people, uh... people who aren't from another place, will curse you."

"So, trying to find your target among those who are cursing you is like looking for a needle in a pond, not a haystack. Incidentally, the six of us contributed over 300 comments in total."

"What!" Blaze felt like he was hit by an arrow in the knee. He still underestimated the negative impact of the name of Black Beast Knight. Two years of evil deeds could not be reversed in less than a month.

"At least we only need to search for comments after today. It's enough to narrow the scope so much." The ogre said to comfort him, but this made Blaze even more entangled. He thought hard and finally thought of a keyword.
