Chapter 32 The Game is Afoot

The six members of the Young Master's elite squad pulled Little Rain along and hid in the yard of a dilapidated church nearby, peering over the wall to spy on Adrian's house. Before long, players from the Guild of Wanderers kept arriving from all directions, surrounding the mansion. Eventually, the three core leaders, Unsworn Sword, Reflected Twilight, and Wind Walker, finally arrived and directed the guild players in another round of arrangements.

Sixue de Yu was very confused: "Adrian isn't here now, what are they trying to do?"

It was obviously too difficult for Sixue de Yu to understand the Young Master Han's thinking, so the six of them remained silent and said nothing. Only You Ge was a little flustered: "After so long, is Adrian almost back?"

"Well, I heard he went to call the guards? What do you think he'll think if he comes back with NPC guards and sees so many people surrounding his house?" Young Master Han said.

"This..." Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, "Aren't we going too far?"

"No, it's very interesting!" Young Master Han, full of interest, leaned against the wall with one arm, and took out a wine bottle with the other, as if he was going to use the Wanderers' next miserable experience as an appetizer.

Over on their side, the Wanderers had finished their encirclement. Unsworn Sword held a small piece of paper, took a deep breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, then flashed back to the ranks with lightning speed, his agility making people wonder if he was really a warrior.

Of course, the empty house was unanswered. A large group of people focused intently and waited nervously for a long time, then began to look at each other in confusion.

Unsworn Sword stepped forward again and knocked on the door. This time, he didn't rush to dodge, but instead listened carefully for any movement inside the house. Reflected Twilight and Wind Walker also came up, and the three of them leaned against the door in unison, putting their ears to it. Then, they all shook their heads.

"Go in and take a look?" After exchanging glances, they broke down the door and entered.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" The six spies all sighed in admiration.

"What are they doing? Are they here to rob gold?" Sixue de Yu asked nervously.

"No, they're looking for someone," Gu Fei reassured her.

Sixue de Yu immediately relaxed; pure people were easy to deal with.

The three of Unsworn Sword went into Adrian's house and looked around, of course, finding nothing. They only felt that the house was a bit messy, but they couldn't figure it out and came out again feeling very lost.

The six of them were just laughing when they heard a broken gong of a voice from outside the Wanderers' encirclement: "Who are you people?"

Hearing this voice, the six of them subconsciously shrank their necks. Adrian had finally returned. Gu Fei sighed to Sixue de Yu at this time: "Have you noticed that this resurrected Adrian hasn't changed anything else, but his voice is different from before."

"Resurrected?" Sixue de Yu asked suspiciously.

"Never mind," Gu Fei said, forcing himself to remain calm.

The group stretched their necks and continued to spy. Although they had previously felt that Young Master Han's pointless scheme to pit the Wanderers and Adrian against each other seemed excessive, seeing that Adrian was still alone and hadn't brought anyone, their subconscious feeling was actually one of disappointment.

You Ge resentfully put away his notebook: "I thought I'd have a chance to learn about the strength of the NPC guards!"

Over there, before Unsworn Sword could give the order, the Wanderers' players had already taken the initiative to surround Adrian. Unsworn Sword strode out of the crowd with a heroic bearing, waving the small piece of paper in his hand at Adrian: "Adrian, we already know what you've done. Why don't you surrender?"

All the players were nervous, including the six members of the Young Master's elite squad behind the wall.

At this time, Unsworn Sword was undoubtedly presenting the item to the NPC. Whether or not it could trigger the next stage of the quest was at stake.

As a result, Adrian completely ignored the paper in Unsworn Sword's hand and continued to point at the group of people angrily, "You bandits, what exactly do you want to do?"

Unsworn Sword took two more steps forward, holding the paper open in front of Adrian: "Look carefully, it's this piece of paper."

The item had been used thoroughly. As a result, Adrian was still oblivious to it.

The Wanderers were disappointed; it seemed that the item was ineffective.

The members of the Young Master's elite squad were very gratified. If the Wanderers had exposed Adrian so easily, they would have been wasting their time.

Adrian was still surrounded, and the three core leaders of the Wanderers began another tense secret discussion. Reflected Twilight also called Young Master Han: "The paper was used, but it didn't work."

"Really? That shouldn't be!" Young Master Han said, feigning surprise.

"Are you sure it's definitely this guy?" Reflected Twilight continued to ask.

"Of course," Young Master Han replied.

The three of them continued their tense secret discussion.

"Do you have any evidence?" Reflected Twilight asked.

"Isn't the paper evidence?" Young Master Han said.

"But he hasn't admitted it!" Reflected Twilight said.

"Think of a way to force him to admit it!" Young Master Han prompted.

Reflected Twilight slapped his forehead and immediately thought of the method of identifying handwriting. He immediately went into Adrian's house with Unsworn Sword and Wind Walker to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

"Bandits, you bandits, you won't have a good end," Adrian continued to play his role, agitated and furious.

Young Master Han reached into his pocket and felt Adrian's ledger, waiting leisurely for good news from Reflected Twilight and the others.

"There won't be any other handwriting in the room, will there?" You Ge worried.

"No," Young Master Han replied with certainty.

"Too bad," the others sighed. This was simply forcing the Wanderers to compromise with them!

The three who had searched Adrian's house again, of course, found nothing. Helpless, the three simply took paper and pen and fiercely demanded that Adrian copy the note on the spot.

Such a rubbish and direct method was simply bullying the rigid intelligence of the NPC. Unfortunately, Adrian had an important mission and seemed to have a little more intelligence than the average NPC, completely ignoring the players' demands. Unsworn Sword and the others couldn't wait to beat him up, but the rules of PK protection could not be broken by anyone.

At this critical moment, Young Master Han's message floated over coldly: "How's it going?"

"Still thinking of a way," Reflected Twilight replied.

"Perhaps, we should let Drunken Miles from our squad handle it, after all, he's the one who took the quest," Young Master Han said.

These words were full of game knowledge. The paper in Unsworn Sword's hand was ineffective against Adrian, but perhaps Drunken Miles would be effective, after all, he was the one who brought back the quest and the paper. Moreover, Unsworn Sword and the others also knew a piece of news that even Gu Fei himself didn't know: the werewolf claimed to only trust him.

"Could it be that this quest can only be completed by that guy?" Unsworn Sword and the others were naturally very depressed.

"Why don't we let him try first?" Wind Walker said.

"Have you found any way to win the werewolf's trust?" Reflected Twilight asked the others.

All the guild members shook their heads.

"Let him try!" Reflected Twilight gritted his teeth, then called Young Master Han and asked him to tell Gu Fei to come over quickly.

"Hey, maybe if Drunken Miles goes over and shows Adrian the little piece of paper, the quest will be completed," Yutian Shenming said.

"That shouldn't be," You Ge shook his head, "Parallel world quests shouldn't have this kind of situation. Drunken Miles's identity is only special to the werewolf. To this Adrian, he's no different from anyone else, so Adrian shouldn't have a special attitude. That's only logical."

"I'll ask around!" Gu Fei was about to ask Hongchen Yixiao again, but when he opened his friends list, he found that Hongchen Yixiao had logged off at some point.

"Uh, I couldn't find out, everyone continue to discuss," Gu Fei said.

You Ge was full of curiosity about this guy who seemed to be even more authoritative than him in the intelligence business, but Gu Fei had made it clear that he couldn't say.

"Actually, it's not certain that identifying the handwriting will solve the problem!" Zhan Wushang said.

"Are you expressing doubt about my deduction?" Young Master Han squinted at him.

"Doubt everything, doubt everything, the spirit of negation, haha!" Zhan Wushang said quickly, laughing it off.

"What a load of nonsense," everyone scorned.

"Alright, I'll go first!" Gu Fei got up.

"Slow down! If you go so quickly, it'll seem like we're spying on them nearby," Yutian Shenming said.

Gu Fei looked at him speechlessly: "We're already hiding here spying."

"So we have to cover it up. How can you call it spying if you've exposed yourself!"

The others also nodded: "Go over later!"

Sixue de Yu had a confused look in her eyes all along. She couldn't quite understand what these people were talking about.

Deliberately waiting for a long time again, Young Master Han was even urged several times by Reflected Twilight. Just as he was about to let Gu Fei set off, suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the avenue outside. The group quickly stretched their necks and looked out, and were immediately stunned.

Dozens of Moon Night City guards, dressed in uniform, had arrived at this moment.

The Wanderers' players didn't know what this group was here for. It was rare to see such a large-scale NPC action, and a group of people pointed and watched curiously. Some people even tried to step forward and talk to the NPCs to inquire. Over here, You Ge had already prepared his notebook, and Young Master Han nodded repeatedly: "I knew it, how could my judgment be wrong."

"Adrian!" The NPCs outside shouted loudly.

The Wanderers' players were stunned. Adrian shouted from within the encirclement, "My lords, I'm here! Quickly eliminate these bandits!"

"Bandits??" The Wanderers' players were still at a loss, but the NPC soldiers had already drawn their swords. The leader raised his long sword high and shouted, "Charge, prepare!"

Instantly, red and white light spread from his body, and a halo appeared under the feet of all his companions around him.

"Awesome, a battle formation skill!!!" The spies were the first to get excited.
