Chapter 2759: Instance Highlights

At first, the identity verification was just done by a robot checking his temporary identification. By the third time, three members of the Law Enforcement Team arrived, not only to verify his temporary identification, but also demanded he remove his disguise props to confirm his true identity.

"This does not comply with the laws of Zone 022," Xu Huo showed the lawyer credential he obtained half an hour ago, "Players in Zone 022 have the right to refuse to reveal their true identity as long as they don’t break the law."

"Citizens also have the right to record law enforcement activities in public, and your actions will be uploaded in real-time to the Collection of Information Terminal."

"Your actions are already suspected of being discriminatory and illegal."

The three members of the Law Enforcement Team looked coldly at him, "You do what you’re told. If you refuse to accept the inspection, is your identity questionable?"

"Proof is required from the one making the accusation. You need to provide relevant evidence to request me to remove the prop," Xu Huo said sternly, "Zone 022 adheres to the law, it’s not for players to do whatever they want."

The three exchanged glances, clearly intending to force Xu Huo to cooperate with the inspection without procedural fairness. The purpose of this action was not truly to see his actual appearance, but to provoke him into a reaction with minimal sacrifice.

Maybe his travel log attracted someone’s attention, or perhaps to add interest to this tourist instance, the Law Enforcement Team obviously wanted to increase the difficulty.

Facing the three who approached, Xu Huo spoke again, "I can remove the prop, but you must show your real law enforcement credentials."

He clapped his hands as he spoke, causing the device altering their faces and some certificate information to malfunction instantly, revealing the true appearance of the three Law Enforcement Team members.

Xu Huo recited their real names, "Turns out you don’t belong to the local Enforcement Department. I remember the Law Enforcement Team is not allowed to enforce across cities in non-special circumstances; you’ve already violated the law by disguising your identity and conducting identity checks on others."

He tapped the recorder on his body, "I will report this footage to the Law Enforcement Headquarters."

The three Law Enforcement Team members didn’t expect their cover to be blown so quickly, their expressions were unsightly, but under the public eye, they couldn’t go too far, otherwise, it would touch the bottom line.

After they left, a player on the vehicle came over to talk, "They probably wanted to force you into becoming a wanted criminal. If they acted forcibly, it would have been difficult for you to escape today."

"They don’t dare," Xu Huo said indifferently. If they only came to hassle him to make the instance more interesting, then they wouldn’t make things too unpleasant. Concealing their identity serves this purpose too; they want the instance to appear thrilling, not to tarnish the government’s reputation and lower its credibility among the public.

Believing that if they didn’t succeed this time, they would soon come for him again.

"Let’s get acquainted," the man sat down opposite him, "I’m Chai Sheng."

"Xu Zhi," Xu Huo nodded.

After exchanging a few words, they found out they were working on the same instance, Chai Sheng was already in the last third of the instance, about to head to the Ice Cream Castle to find a hidden ice cream doll.

"Actually, before coming here, I already contacted others; someone happened to have an ice cream doll and agreed to exchange it with me." Chai Sheng looked at him said, "Unfortunately, the other party hasn’t proposed the condition yet, just asking me to repeatedly take this flight. They said they will tell me the condition when the time is right."

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "So you have now received the condition for the exchange?"

Chai Sheng smiled at him, "Yes..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and flicked forward, a toy umbrella-shaped prop flew past Xu Huo’s ear. As the small umbrella opened, a Defensive Barrier enveloped the two, and water droplets peeled off the barrier, shooting out like sharp weapons towards the surroundings!

Two players lurking behind Xu Huo were hit by water droplets and pushed back. In the next moment, everyone on the vehicle suddenly froze in place; not that their bodies couldn’t move at all, but their legs were stuck in place. Looking down, they found black lines crisscrossing on the surface of the vehicle, looking like some kind of board game.

Xu Huo and Chai Sheng were also controlled in their positions when a head-sized die rolled over from behind, the number on the top side was "4."

Seeing the number on the die, one of the attackers suddenly stepped forward, brandishing a short knife to break through the umbrella barrier, aiming directly at Xu Huo’s throat!

This prop was indeed impressive, as it not only cut through the umbrella barrier but also damaged the Space Barrier Xu Huo casually pulled up. Regardless of whether the opponent was testing him, he pressed his hand down to pin the person to the ground, then pulled another player standing in the distance over.

At this time, the vehicle had already lost control under the gravity of the Bone Ring and was rapidly plunging to the ground. The two players took advantage of the opportunity to use interference props to escape the control of the Spatial Power, probably thinking Xu Huo dared not bring down everyone on the vehicle together; they cut several people’s legs, flinging the passengers who cried out in agony towards Xu Huo!

The gravity enhancement was already lifted, the vehicle regained stability after a few shakes. Xu Huo brushed aside all the passengers pushed over to him, using props to cut off the possibility of spatial transmission, then took all two people off the vehicle.

After falling twice in the Mental Portal, the three of them transferred to above the lake in the city park.

The two attackers reacted quickly too. As soon as they landed on the lake surface, they waved their hands to sweep up a large body of lake water, which solidified into ice midway, densely shooting towards Xu Huo!

Now falling on the disadvantage, the two used ice cones for interference, and in reality, they just turned around and ran.

Xu Huo stacked "Destiny’s Downhill Road," "dreamy false teeth," and "Wind under Feet," and while swiftly flying through the air, he commanded one of them, "Hold onto the person next to you!"

Under the effect of "Destiny’s Downhill Road," the two initially plunging towards the lake surface immediately hugged each other, one entwining the other with arms and legs, pulling them into the lake!

Unexpectedly, these two were skilled in underwater combat too, despite being unable to separate now. Once submerged, they quickly moved like fish underwater, swiftly reaching the lake shore.

At this point, members of the Law Enforcement Team were already rushing over here. Xu Huo pulled the corner of his mouth, exposing a slightly mocking smile, then used "Fate’s String" to keep the two beneath the lake in place, followed by the Space Ray Blade and "Hand of Space-Time" alternating and twisting... Once the others disappeared from the scene, the lake surged with a large amount of fresh blood.

Not bothering the pursuing Law Enforcement Team players, Xu Huo moved swiftly throughout the city, altering his appearance along the way. By the time he reached the city outskirts, the players tracking him were long gone.

"Number 1423 has received the notification, will cooperate for personnel inspection." A member of the Law Enforcement Team approached Xu Huo while responding to his superior, signaling him to present the credentials.
