Players Please Get In the Car

Chapter 2568 Assassination Tradition

The security in District 001 is very good, and there is no need to worry about safety when going out at night. However, most residents pay attention to health preservation, so when it gets dark, there are fewer people on the street. Most of those who are still lingering on the streets and shops are tourists from other places. It’s just that there are fewer shops open at night, so the flow of people is concentrated in several more prosperous places in the city.

When Xu Huo and his friends arrived near Yongxing Hotel, the hustle and bustle was far away from them. There was not even a single person doing evil on the quiet street.

After checking in, Xu Huo and Hua Nu went to the suite upstairs. There were not many people outside, but there were many players in the hotel. It seemed that there was a party. There were many players sitting in the lounge next to the hotel lobby.

When they went upstairs, two people came out of the lounge and discussed visiting the watch master while walking.

It sounded like they wanted to buy props from the watch master, but because the other party had very few reception quotas, and there was a long-term resident in Yongxing Hotel who had connections, they came here to wait for that person, but it was two hours after the agreed time, and many players had lost their patience.

That watchmaker is also a famous instrument maker.

This reminded Xu Huo of the origin of "Three Seconds of Life". The pocket watch made by the skilled craftsman Master Nice, after some changes, naturally formed a prop, and it was a super prop.

Naturally born props can be obtained in newly opened dungeons, but the more players enter the dungeon, the lower the possibility of picking up props. If the time is longer, there will be no ready-made props in the dungeon.

And the natural formation of props seems to rely on a bit of luck.

However, many props that evolved naturally are also related to craftsmen, and many of them are painstaking works. I don’t know if this is a strange change caused by the peak of human attainments, but the watchmaker in Area 001 sounds like he should also be a top craftsman, otherwise so many players would not look for ways to meet him.

After entering the room, the painter ran to the terrace first, took a picture facing the sky, and invited Xu Huo to see the stars.

The starry sky in Zone 001 is slightly different from that in Zone 014. The stars are not distributed irregularly in the night sky, but are concentrated in a certain area. There is no moon here, but there is a planet similar to the moon, which looks bigger and brighter. It is surrounded by a group of glowing stars arranged from large to small, spontaneously forming several rings, which are particularly conspicuous.

In other parts of the night sky, there are also several clusters of similar stars, and the rest are dark blue night skies, which are endless.

The painter pointed to the largest planet closest to it, "There are people on it."

It is not difficult to develop some uninhabited planets in many zones in the current game, but they are more used to mine resources. After all, it costs a lot to move there. If one zone is really full, it is more convenient to grab other ready-made small zones.

"Go to bed early." Xu Huo said to her, and then went into his room to wash up. After washing up, he first sent the set of bookmarks to Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi through the dimension, and then read books on watchmaking for a while before lying down to rest.

The nights in Zone 001 were relatively long, and he slept very comfortably this time. He woke up naturally before dawn. After getting up energetically, he looked at the empty streets and washed up.

At this time, most people in this zone had not come out to move around. Only some people who were doing early work walked around the streets. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the bathroom faced a commercial area. At seven o'clock in the morning, a man wearing clothes with the words "Quickly Deliver" on them came to the opposite side on a low-altitude aircraft. He stopped in front of a beauty shop, rang the doorbell, and talked to the people in the shop for a few words. The automatic door of the shop opened.

"Quickly Deliver" picked up a bag and walked in. After a while, only two dull sounds of falling to the ground were heard. "Quickly Deliver" came out of the automatic door again. When the other party looked up, he happened to meet the sight of Xu Huo who was looking down.

The floor of Yongxing Hotel is not low, but the player's eyesight is too good. Xu Huo took the toothbrush out of his mouth, and "Quickly Deliver" pulled up the mask and waved to him.

In this area, at least there are not many poor people in the city, and the residents are self-disciplined and close their shops early. In such an environment, few people regard shops as their homes, so before the shops open, there are few people in the shops in the commercial street. The murdered man and woman are a special case.

When it was completely light, the robot in the shop called the police. The law enforcement team and the hospital came and gave the cause of death of the two people with just one look, killing them with one blow and cutting their throats.

As for why they were killed, the murderer also left a clue, a bed photo with "adulterer and adulteress" written on it.

The merchants nearby looked at it for a while, and after learning about the photo of "adulterer and adulteress", they all showed an expression of "as expected".

Probably everyone nearby knew the situation of the two people who were killed. Not only did they not panic, but they thought that this day would come sooner or later.

When Xu Huo took the painter out to eat a special breakfast, he also heard players from other areas discussing this matter.

"Paying for murder is an old tradition in Zone 001." A player who knows a lot about this said, pointing to the projection ads that occasionally appear in some corners outside, "Those stores are opened by players. They pay to kill people. If you want to kill someone, you contact the murder company in advance. After you submit the information, if the company thinks it's feasible, they will take the order."

"For example, in the murder case this morning, it was obvious that the man's wife hired someone to kill him, but there was no evidence. Legally, his wife would not be in trouble and would inherit all the property."

"As for the man, he was morally untenable. The law could not punish him, but lynching was allowed."

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

"Doesn't this mean that you can kill anyone you want?" Someone said after hearing this: "Isn't District 001 in chaos?"

"You don't know the history of District 001," the previous player said: "It is said that our ancestors made their fortune by doing justice and robbing the rich to help the poor. Most of the countries in the entire district have assassination organizations. They kill each other whenever they want. Fortunately, no one was a player at that time, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died!"

This sigh made everyone laugh. The painter turned away long ago, holding up the communicator and asking impatiently: "Are there any assassination organizations now?"

"Of course, aren't those companies?" The man said: "On the surface, they are people doing small businesses, with business licenses, legally paying taxes, and protected by the government. Behind the scenes, you all know."

"Does the government not care?" Someone asked the question that the audience was most concerned about.
