Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"Why did Chen Boxu target Uncle Zhao?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if he knew that Uncle Zhao was a 'wanted player', even if he knew that Uncle Zhao knew me, even if he knew that Uncle Zhao and I might have some friendship, he wouldn't have to force Uncle Zhao to death. What is Chen Boxu's purpose? What does he want by forcing Uncle Zhao to death?"

"You killed Uncle Zhao simply to set an example for others? To provoke me? To anger me?"

Is it that simple?

In order to retaliate against me for using a trick against me last night, bluffing and relying on a fake cover-up to secretly interrogate the 'Eagle of Justice'?

So... just to vent your anger, you're willing to disregard human life and specifically dig out the connection between Uncle Zhao and me?

Thinking of this, Qin Shang clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly turned red, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and hatred surged.

Uncle Zhao's old, hunched figure kept appearing in his mind, his voice, his smile, his words and deeds. Thinking of their cooperation in the final stage of [Changteng Ghost School] when facing the God Slayer and the administrator 'Maximum Level Lady', thinking of the joy of surviving the catastrophe when they won the game and looked at each other, Qin Shang felt that all this seemed to have happened yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, that admirable middle-aged man passed away.

Everything was just like a dream. Fate failed to defeat Uncle Zhao, but he died under the persecution of Chen Boxu.

At this moment, Qin Shang was burning with anger.

This was the first time since he found out about Chen Boxu, the mastermind behind the scenes. He had never felt so murderous towards Chen Boxu that he wished he could kill the adopted son of Lord Chen right now with his own hands.

"No! I don't see it the same way as you do!"

"He must have some other purpose for doing this..."

At this moment, a pair of cold hands, with great strength but without any intention to hurt Qin Shang, gently fell on his shoulders.

The anger and murderous intent in Qin Shang's chest were instantly extinguished from head to toe as if by a basin of water.

A clear and cold voice then rang out in the office.

"According to your line of thought, the person who contacted Zhao Chaoyang was Chen Boxu. No, according to your statement, it was Chen Boxu who found Zhao Chaoyang's old address, and then used his neighbor's device to send the information about his daughter's admission to the military academy to the con man."

"In other words, the Uncle Zhao you mentioned has fallen into this trap since the beginning."

"Is Chen Boxu's purpose simply to force Uncle Zhao to death to retaliate against you, and to vent his emotions for your victory over the Eagle of Justice yesterday?"

"I don't think so..."

Mr. Yin, who had already changed into black clothes and was ready to go off work, was pressed into the office by Qin Shang. He narrowed his eyes and spoke lightly.

After the voice fell, the two people in the room fell into silence.

After a busy day, Mr. Yin, the director of the Chaoyang District Security Bureau, naturally did not just deal with the Eagle of Justice case and cooperate with the Arbitration Court in providing evidence. He also had many other cases that needed coordination and responsibility.

Including but not limited to the night patrol tasks of the lawful bad people every night, and the daily work of various public security departments...

The contents of these things all have to be formulated by Master Yin alone.

In other words, Yin Shisan does not just serve Qin Shang alone.

In the past two days, Master Yin has been very worried and exhausted because of the affairs of his trusted henchman.

Otherwise, at this point, Mr. Yin, the self-disciplined maniac who plans his daily schedule to the minute, should have been lying on the sofa at home.

"If he just wanted to force Zhao Chaoyang to death, he only needed to report behind the scenes. There was no need for him to come out and confront us head-on. The meaning of his action was not just to vent his anger. It also had another meaning. It was more like a victor who needed to show off by planting his victory flag in the enemy's territory after his victory."

"Does forcing Uncle Zhao to death mean victory? No, that simply makes you angry."

"However, the capture of the Eagle of Justice will expose many people, but at least it will reduce the chain of interests behind Elder Chen. Compared with Elder Chen's heavy bleeding, Chen Boxu's revenge on you is like a child playing house, even if someone died."

The next moment, Yin Shisan finished his words indifferently, glanced at Qin Shang, and noticed that his trusted henchman looked unhappy.

Master Yin realized that he had downplayed human life in his previous statement. Although everyone in this society is accustomed to being blood-thirsty and indifferent, after all, Uncle Zhao and his trusted henchmen were friends who had lived together for life.

So Master Yin thought about it and changed his words again, his tone was a little softer;

"His action seems more like revenge against you, which doesn't fit the logic of his provocation to me."

"He can provoke you because you both only represent the people above you. You represent me, and he represents Elder Chen."

"It's reasonable for him to provoke you, gain the upper hand in the fight with you, and come here to show off his power in a smug manner."

"But he had no reason to provoke me, no reason to answer my call and introduce himself..."

"This concept is like, I'm going to let you stop enduring now, let's just go to the official forum of Shenlu players and expose all the crimes we have. In fact, this is illogical, because the evidence we have now is not enough to bring down Lord Chen."

King against king, against general.

A thoughtful gleam flashed in Qin Shang's eyes, and he immediately understood what Yin Shisan meant.

Completely nailing the Eagle of Justice to death was like successfully swallowing up a pawn of the opponent on the chessboard that had crossed the Chu River and Han River.

This chess piece was captured by Yin Shisan before it hit the opponent's general's target.

Behind the Eagle of Justice, the pawn crossing the river, stood the soldiers guarding the old commander.

The old coach will not be seriously injured because of a pawn crossing the river.

However, in order to appease the soldiers on the board, the old general must bleed to stabilize the morale of the troops.

The Eagle of Justice has been able to survive for so long, it would be a miracle if there is no interest group behind it that is connected to Lord Chen.

For example, the three major families of Jincheng that are currently known.

But Uncle Zhao was not in the chess game.

His death will not have any impact on the overall situation.

So what is the significance of Chen Boxu jumping out at this time?

Just showing off?

Vent anger and revenge?

Yes, these can all be motivations, and the reasons are appropriate.

But…the purpose is not sufficient.

The reason he showed off must be because Uncle Zhao's death brought changes to the chess game and might have caused the situation to change. In other words, it was not necessarily Uncle Zhao's death, but something in the entire series that brought changes to the chess game.

This led to a change in someone who could threaten Yin Shisan, the other side of the chessboard...

The next moment, Qin Shang took several deep breaths and calmed down.

What is the point that can bring about huge changes in the chess game?

Master Yin is right. Chen Boxu would not come out to show off for no reason.

His boasting in challenging Yin Shisan must have a reason for his temporary victory, and there must be a reason worth boasting about.

If he was just taking revenge on Qin Shang for teasing him yesterday, he wouldn't have run to Master Yin and jumped in front of him.

"And don't you think he has overcomplicated a simple matter? Since he can contact Uncle Zhao, it would be much easier for him to impersonate him under the pseudonym Zhao Yuanyuan, use other excuses to lure Uncle Zhao out of the 'gambling world', and then kill him."

"If they just wanted to vent their anger and revenge on you, or to irritate you, they could just send the old con man an address and make an appointment to meet Uncle Zhao in the name of Zhao Yuanyuan..."

"He involved Zhao Yuanyuan in this matter. What role did Zhao Yuanyuan play in this matter?"

"smoke bomb?"

"No, his goal is not Uncle Zhao, nor is it for Uncle Zhao to leave the gambling world, nor is it to kill Zhao Chaoyang. This series of events is just a smokescreen."

Qin Shang's eyes darkened.

Following Yin Shisan's line of thought, what was the reason why Zhao Yuanyuan was dragged into this?

Yeah, why doesn’t Chen Boxu pretend to be Zhao Yuanyuan?

If the purpose is to kill Uncle Zhao, then it would be fine to disguise the text message as Zhao Yuanyuan's and lure Uncle Zhao into the trap. There is no need to drag Zhao Yuanyuan into the water.

The more people involved in a plan, the greater the uncontrollable variables. If the purpose is just to kill Uncle Zhao and provoke Qin Shang.

The simplest way is right in front of us, which is to use text messages to trick Uncle Zhao out of the gambling world... dragging Zhao Yuanyuan into it will only complicate a simple matter.

Chen Boxu is not a fool or an idiot. He must have other reasons for doing this.

"At noon, there was a gathering of wanted players, and Zhao Yuanyuan went to the 'gambling world'!"

At this moment, Qin Shang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

"His goal is the 'gambling world'. He wants to know the location of the 'gambling world'... His goal is not to trick Uncle Zhao out and kill him, but to get Uncle Zhao to take Zhao Yuanyuan to the 'gambling world'. Uncle Zhao will only take his daughter to the 'gambling world' if he sees her in person. That's why Chen Boxu went to such lengths to drag Zhao Yuanyuan into it."

"Because... Uncle Zhao went to the subway station to pick up his daughter in person. He didn't just send the location directly."

"In other words, the con man must have clearly told the 'wanted players' that the location of the 'gambling world' must not be disclosed, so Uncle Zhao had to go to the subway station to pick up his daughter in person, even if his joy overshadowed other emotions, even if it meant taking the risk of being recognized as a wanted criminal, because he wanted to make sure that the person he was meeting was his own daughter!"

"Chen Boxu's purpose in dragging Zhao Yuanyuan into this chess game was not to kill Uncle Zhao, but to let Zhao Yuanyuan enter the 'gambling world'. What he wanted was the 'gambling world', no... the location information of the 'gambling world'. His target was the 'wanted players'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a gleam of light suddenly flashed across Yin Shisan's half-closed eyes, and then as if he thought of something, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

The same was true for Qin Shang next to him.

The next moment, the two looked at each other.

They could all read an unconcealable shock and fear in each other's eyes.

"The Sixth Cabinet Selection Conference!"
