Chapter 2675: I Really Want to Hit Him

Using an Awakening Doll to probe is the lowest cost and safest method. Regardless of whether Yan Jiayu is restricted in a special space, inside a container prop, or in a legitimately opened instance, the Awakening Doll can bring out a message.

If the Awakening Doll enters and can’t contact the outside world, then Yan Jiayu is likely trapped in a special space disconnected from the game.

Little Pink Hat didn’t mind using a doll, but she strongly refused to personally take the doll inside. If it truly were a space separated from the game, she probably wouldn’t be able to come out.

The suggestion from Yu Country was simple: once they found the entrance, just find someone to take the doll inside.

Xu Huo borrowed the doll, and now he had to wait. First, for the Yu Country players to find the entrance, and second, to see if any Battle Dolls came nearby.

From the information provided by Yu Country, it was really difficult to directly link those dolls to the entrance in the Primeval Forest.

Additionally, the information Xu Huo asked Bai Kou, Xin Rong and Nie Xuan to investigate had returned. The Suitcase Man had been quite active recently, and Xin Rong went out of curiosity to see the city destroyed by the Suitcase Man. According to local players, when the Suitcase Man opened the instance, the city’s population was emptied before the battle, and no one survived.

Xu Huo repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the information, relayed it to Bai Kou and Nie Xuan for confirmation, and questioned Qi Cong about whether Yan Jiayu’s location had changed in the past two months.

Qi Cong confidently stated he wouldn’t make a mistake; Yan Jiayu had always been in Zone 039, whereas Nie Xuan’s response was uncertain. Zone 014 players entered the game for a very short time, so even with a nationwide effort to gather information, it was difficult to catch up with other zones.

Surprisingly, Bai Kou’s response was also uncertain. She knew a bit about what Xin Rong mentioned; information about Super Player instances was difficult for Low-Level players to grasp. Even when it was circulated, it was usually within specific circles. However, Bai Kou reminded Xu Huo to visit the Game Government Base, since the Suitcase Man was a wanted criminal, and the base would have hidden feature information.

Zone 039 has no Game Government Base.

Moreover, not everyone can get information at the Game Government Base.

After thinking it over, Xu Huo still asked Bai Kou to visit the Game Government Base, emphasizing its critical importance.

Bai Kou did not refuse, only reminding him to be careful and not gamble with his life.

"Those guys are useless." Qi Cong mumbled, "After such a long search, they still haven’t found the instance entrance."

Xu Huo glanced at him, "You can determine Yan Jiayu’s location, so you should be better at finding the instance entrance. Go with them to search."

Qi Cong quickly waved his hands, "Each has their specialty; I don’t have that capability, let them handle it instead."

"You’re not entering the instance?" the Girl in the painting asked, as she was tidying up her backpack filled with snacks for three people.

Qi Cong chuckled awkwardly, "I wouldn’t be much help inside; I might even drag you down..."

The Girl in the painting nodded understandingly, then gestured as if to take out a share for one person, but put it back, thinking the three shares could become two if eaten more.

"It’s not that I don’t dare to fight for Little Yu’er, I really don’t have the strength; it’s not worth wasting effort." Qi Cong quickly added, "Besides, if everyone gets trapped inside, someone needs to bring information out, right?"

"Brother Xu, don’t worry, if you don’t come out, I’ll immediately bring news to the castle. Once your friends know you’re in trouble, they’ll definitely come to rescue you!"

Xu Huo looked at him without speaking.

The Girl in the painting paused as she had a sudden thought, then hastily tapped away, suggesting, "Is he deliberately using a trap to lure us in?"

"Wronged!" Qi Cong quickly denied, "If I even plan that, let lightning strike me... let me die swallowed by an alien!"

"No need for you to swear." Xu Huo checked his props and instruments and said, "Just come along inside."

Qi Cong’s face paled instantly, "Brother, I’m really not good at fighting..."

"Didn’t expect you to," Xu Huo said calmly. "Only you know Yan Jiayu’s whereabouts; if she’s trapped in a container prop, where would I go to find her?"

Qi Cong sighed with relief, "I can take some risks for Little Yu’er, no problem, but you have to protect me. I’m still young, haven’t married or had kids, I don’t want to die early."

He then began fantasizing, "If Little Yu’er is saved, she might be grateful for my help, develop feelings for me, and eventually fall for me, isn’t that natural? Haha!"

The Girl in the painting waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Are you dreaming during the day?"

Qi Cong pretended not to hear, immersed in his unrestrained imagination.

"I want to hit him." the Girl in the painting muttered to Xu Huo.

"Ignore him." Xu Huo took out the medical toolbox and three Combat Robots in advance for precaution. "Three Seconds of a Lifetime," "Heart of the Child," and "Life Origin" were kept close. If that space was truly disconnected from the game, props might not work, so instruments must be adequately prepared.

Thankfully he took many instruments when leaving C09-001 last time, and with several old Class A Instruments, the quantity was substantial.

Of course, the Paper Servant Master’s "Giving You a Small Red Flower" was also carried. Other than revenge afterward, it was a decent trick, but not to be used lightly like last time’s paper plane.

A variety of potions and food and water were also prepared. The Girl in the painting emptied all the small snacks she had stuffed into her backpack earlier. When the last small bag was about to be taken out, she held Xu Huo’s arm firmly and shook her head, then pointed at the nearby robot, indicating it could take things, and taking two boxes wouldn’t be an issue.

Finally, the robot carried a box specifically for her belongings.

"Someone’s coming." Dai He suddenly appeared, speaking quickly, "Not from Yu Country."

Xu Huo had already prepared and saw several figures flying over from afar, landing nearby one after another. Judging by their attire, they were from Yongta Country.

Though this forest was next to Yu Country, there were no clear territorial boundaries, so Yu Country couldn’t prevent Yongta people from coming over. National positions made them naturally opposed, and the two sides stared at each other without speaking.

"What are you looking for?" the middle-aged man leading Yongta asked, "Battle Dolls?"
