Hu Die Lan

Chapter 358 Who Retreats? Who Remains?

That sentence caused many people to be puzzled. But a group of undercover agents were struck as if by lightning and completely froze.

Recalling how neatly, resolutely, and decisively Lord Grim had kicked people out back then, could it be that he had seen through these two guys all along? If he had seen through these two guys, then those of them who had come in together couldn't possibly clear themselves of suspicion either.

The only difference was that, at that critical moment, those two guys' behavior had exposed themselves even more, while they, although they had also shown some unkind behavior, had at least finished the entire match step by step. Had Lord Grim noticed them or not? For a moment, everyone became uneasy. Although those two guys hadn't fully completed the mission, their even more outrageous and intense actions might have served as a means to dispel Lord Grim's doubts, right?

Private chat, the undercover agents began to private chat again.

From the very beginning, they had tried to deliberately throw their lives away. Causing the failure of the demon god challenge was only a secondary goal. Their main purpose was to use such means to disguise a more naive identity, and then dispel the suspicion that might arise from rushing in all at once.

As a result, these guys messed up their priorities during the battle. In a situation where Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's powerful playstyles made it impossible for them to make mistakes, they still had to actively seek out mistakes to make, which was a battle philosophy with the primary goal of creating a defeat.

Now that the matter was over, everyone no longer had the impulsiveness they had during the battle. After someone suddenly brought up this question, everyone took a closer look at their identities and then thought about the decisions they had made at the time. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured on their heads, instantly sobering them up.

Players were still frantically刷 (shuā - spamming) messages in the channel. That question from earlier had long been brushed away somewhere. But it was impossible to erase it from the minds of the undercover agents. All the undercover agents were staring at the screen, staring at the channel window, waiting to see if there would be a reply from Lord Grim. They hoped that Lord Grim hadn't seen that question, and hadn't suddenly sobered up like them and turned back.

Lord Grim indeed didn't speak in the guild channel, but instead sent a message in the team channel.

"Everyone's worked hard." Everyone saw Lord Grim's name and then this sentence suddenly popped up.

"Not hard, not hard, is this even considered hard work?" The undercover agents said against their will. Although from the perspective of killing the Guardian Demon God, "not hard" was the honest truth. But from the perspective of the undercover agents' intentions, this battle was actually very hard.

"So what's next?" Lord Grim popped up another sentence.

"Next?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Stay or leave, everyone is free to choose." Lord Grim threw out another sentence, followed by a very enthusiastic smile.

The undercover agents were immediately dumbfounded. They finally knew that they hadn't completely eliminated the doubts in Lord Grim's mind. They had been suspected by the other party from the very beginning, but the other party still had the guts to take them to fight the Guardian Demon God. Because the person had the strength, the person could control the field and control the situation to such an extent that you simply couldn't make a mistake.

The team channel suddenly became quiet. Lord Grim didn't disband the team, and even Su Mucheng's Wind Howl and Cold Smoke and Soft Snow, and other members of Happy, were still staying in the team. No one spoke.

This time, the undercover agents didn't even bother with private chats, and instead directly reported to their superiors. The QQ undercover discussion groups established by the major guilds were immediately filled with messages again. Blue River was now annoyed and didn't want to engage in these tricks anymore.

"This Lord Grim is always so cunning!" Lonely Drink, the president of the Samsara Guild in the tenth server, said angrily. This was the impression that Ye Xiu had left on him from the very beginning, and it was simply eternal and indelible. At this time, he completely ignored the fact that his own grand undercover plan was too conspicuous, and still analyzed the problem from the perspective of "it's not that we didn't work hard, it's that the opponent is too cunning."

"This pile of characters is considered useless. There's no point in keeping them. Lord Grim is already suspecting us," said Heavenly Star, the general president of Herb Garden.

"But there's one place that everyone should have noticed," said Jiang You of Tyrannical Ambition.

"Say it," said Blue Brook Guild's Spring Yi Lao, who always coldly uttered a word or two at this time to tell everyone that he was still there, he wasn't air.

"Although most of the people are the ones we sent in, at least there is still one person in this team who is not one of us, a high-level player who really wants to join Happy," said Jiang You.

"Indeed." Night Tide agreed with his leader, immediately pulling out the previous chat records to provide evidence. The records showed that each guild had reported the number of their undercover agents. That 20-person team did indeed have one person of unknown origin.

"Now I want to know, is this person being deliberately hidden by someone?" Jiang You asked.

"Of course not," Lonely Drink said immediately.

The other representatives also said that they had not faked anything.

"If that's the case, I think we can withdraw most of our people first, leave a small portion, and then build a good relationship with this extra player, because his identity is real and reliable, and he might become a good cover for us. If necessary, we can even win him over directly," Jiang You said.

"Wouldn't doing this be a little too much?" Heavenly Star said. "The biggest problem this time is that we didn't consider the problem thoroughly enough. Our character levels are obviously too high in the tenth server. This Lord Grim is also an old hand, he must have expected that we would send people to infiltrate his guild. With a sudden influx of high-level characters, how could he not be suspicious? Now that these people have been exposed, do we still want to continue trying to win them over? I think it's better to simply withdraw completely and choose other characters to infiltrate at a suitable time."

"Is that so? Then how about you Herb Garden people withdraw first?" Jiang You said.

Heavenly Star was just about to make a decision when he suddenly had another idea and immediately said, "Hehe, if we're going to withdraw, let's all withdraw together. We'll advance and retreat together!"

When these words came out, some of those who were more meticulous immediately understood something.

To be honest, Jiang You's so-called cover plan wasn't really necessary, and the fact that this guy specifically proposed such a plan, wasn't it just calculating that others wouldn't agree?

Just like Herb Garden just now, if they had listened to Jiang You's words and withdrawn their characters smoothly...

It would have no impact on infiltrating Happy Guild, but these three wild accounts of Herb Garden would definitely be exposed. And before, although the wild accounts had already been exposed, at least it hadn't been matched which account belonged to which guild.

Three wild accounts weren't really anything to these club guilds. When necessary, they could even buy accounts. However, the struggle between guilds was always like this, and they wouldn't miss any detail that could be used. If they didn't pay attention to this small detail today, and then took out these wild accounts with exposed origins in the future, it would be one thing if people knew about it, but what they were most afraid of was being tricked.

Everyone's thoughts turned, and when they thought about this, they immediately fell silent. After a long while, it was actually Spring Yi Lao, who was usually the most silent in message chats, who spoke: "Who withdraws? Who stays?"

Tragedy! I was coding at night when the faucet broke! Butterfly immediately transformed into Butterfly. Super Mario. Blue, and went to repair the water pipe... but the more I repaired it, the bigger the water got, um um... let's just release these two thousand words first! I'll take advantage of the water spraying to take a bath first, and then continue to fight it... alas alas alas... August is over, September needs to work hard!
