Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Abandoned mountain road, inside a truck.

"Report, that woman has appeared again at the villa. Do you want to continue observing?"

"She showed up again?"

"This time she brought quite a few people with her. They seemed to be searching for something. Judging from the equipment they were using, they were definitely the former chairman's men."

"It seems that they have discovered that the fire in the villa was not an accident. Can we intercept their signal?"

"It's already being done. Before passing... Wait a minute, that woman is communicating with someone."

"Intercept the signal immediately and make sure to find out what she is saying. It is very likely that she will be able to contact this processing plant."

There was no movement on the palm for the time being, and Han Zu's body was still in the original position, which gave the people on the truck some time to pay attention to other locations. Through the information sent back by the men who stayed around the burning villa, they learned that the woman finally appeared.

"The woman did not go home on the day of the fire. It was an ordinary resident who reported the fire. Most of the villa was burned down. Our initial judgment was that she might not be aware of this. But now it seems that she should have known at the time that the fire was not an accident but man-made, but she was not sure."

"Report, the signal has been intercepted. They are heading to the processing plant. Be careful."

"Got it. You don't need to follow them. Retreat to headquarters."

"Yes."

The sudden situation made the atmosphere in the truck a little tense, but fortunately, it would take some time for the woman and her men to get here. Even if they arrived here, they would not be able to find their location. The reason they were nervous was that they were afraid that their hands would be caught, thus exposing the liquid robot on it.

"Boss, I have a question. You know that if you set a fire, there is a high chance that you will be discovered. So why did Han Zu still set the fire?"

"Cover up his traces? After all, it's not something that anyone can do to melt the door locks and safes."

"Even if this makes sense, why did he come to the processing plant a few days later? If he was discovered during this period, the processing plant would definitely receive the news and move the important things away. And the most important point is that he just set fire to a room that could not possibly catch fire. Isn't it obvious that someone in the processing plant has already entered?"

The subordinates' doubts were not unreasonable. The leader fell silent and began to think about Han Zu's actions and the connection between them.

"He's not a fool, he just has a strange way of thinking. It's impossible for him not to think of these questions. That means Han Zu did it on purpose. But setting the villa on fire makes sense. Why did he just...?"

"Maybe we shouldn't use normal thinking to understand it." A person next to him proposed a method, which was agreed by others. The leader also changed his way of thinking and began to reorganize all the information. Slowly, an idea appeared in his mind, although it was not very relevant, but it was completely possible when applied to Han Zu.

"He dived under the pool alone in the previous instance, right? Show me the footage from that time. I want to know what he saw. Maybe it can explain why he did that."

Soon, a video was transmitted. It was a video recording of the previous game from Han Zu's perspective. From what was shown on the screen, before pulling out the ore fragments, Han Zu, who was underwater, looked at an underwater location. He swam over and put something into his pocket.

"Pause, then zoom in... This is..."

Through the processing of the picture, we can see that what Han Zu put away was a button. For some reason, it looked very familiar.

"Isn't this... the button Han Zu found in the villa before?!"

"It shouldn't be the same one, but it's on the same piece of clothing or pants. Han Zu must know the owner of this button. Could it be that woman?"

"It's very likely. Where is the woman? Where did she move to? Is it still the processing plant?"

"Yes, including her men, there are a total of four vehicles, rushing to the processing plant from different routes. Judging from their speed, they are expected to meet at the village in forty minutes."

"Do you want to send someone to tow it?"

"Don't worry... Let me think about it..."

As more information was sorted out, the idea gradually became clear, and the leader began to propose a possibility.

"Processing plant... I think there is a possibility that the woman, or she herself, has something that Han Zu needs, and it should be related to this processing plant. Then as long as we find the connection between them, we may be able to figure out what Han Zu wants to do."

"Boss, I thought of a possibility, but I have some doubts."

"Tell me about it, maybe we can guess the reason."

"I wonder if there is something in the processing plant that is locked with a combination lock, or a biometric lock, and the woman has the authority to open it?"

"Yes! Very likely!" Hearing this, the eyes of the other people in the truck lit up and nodded in agreement, including the people at the headquarters on the screen.

"But you said you had some questions. What are they?" the contact person from headquarters continued.

"But if that's the case, since Han Zu had already determined the location of the processing plant by tracking that woman, and might even have known where he was going or what he was going to get, why didn't he just kidnap that woman? And then go to the processing plant and get the job done? That doesn't make sense."

His words did make sense and made everyone think deeply. The leader soon raised another question.

"He found the button under the pond before, and then he was able to find the target and her hiding place immediately, which means he must know that woman. Judging from the route he chose to sneak into the villa, there were almost blind spots along the way, including the rooms in the house, which he was very familiar with. This proves that Han Zu had been to this place a long time ago, that is, he had followed this woman, so he should have had the opportunity a long time ago, but he didn't do it. Why?"

“Maybe he didn’t know about the existence of the processing plant before?”

"Even if this explanation makes sense, let's change the topic. Why would he go here alone when he knew that the processing plant needed that woman to get close to his target?"

"Maybe he wanted to rehearse it in advance? To find the safest and fastest route?"

"Okay, so now the biggest question is, why did he set fire to a sealed room? Isn't this just a way of covering one's ears and stealing the bell? Isn't it telling the people in the factory that someone has invaded the factory?"

The leader's series of questions made everyone fall into thought and silence again. A few minutes later, the staff at the headquarters suddenly thought of a possibility and he spoke it out excitedly.

"I figured it out! We have been struggling with the processing plant before, and we are going in the wrong direction! I think I know what is going on!"

"Say it quickly!"

"Since this is a processing plant, it is only used to mass-produce something. Even if it is a place that requires the woman's authority to open, I think it is just a place to store some raw materials at most. Han Zu's real goal should be the place where the things produced in the research and development processing plant are manufactured!"

"Now that you mention it, I understand why Han Zu set fire in the processing plant, a place where fire is least likely to occur!"

"Keep going, we might be able to hold the whole thing together!"

"He did it on purpose. This is exactly the effect he wanted. He just wanted others to know that the processing plant had been invaded!"

The leader linked these inferences together and finally got a clear clue. He began to explain his conclusions.

"First, Han Zu found the button under the pond. Through the button, he found the woman he knew. Through this woman, he found the location of the processing plant and learned that this woman had the highest authority in the processing plant.

Secondly, through this careful investigation, I think Han Zu has learned what is produced in the processing plant, and wants to find the location where these things are developed, and for this, he needs to rely on that woman.

The reason why he didn't kidnap the woman in advance was probably because Han Zu knew that the woman might have a high position and her disappearance would cause the departments or things she was in charge of to be hidden or destroyed again, and Han Zu didn't want this to happen. So he came to the processing plant and deliberately created the illusion that the processing plant was invaded, in order to lure the woman back to the processing plant.

As the person with the highest authority in the processing plant, perhaps the person in charge, no matter whether she finds any suspicious people after arriving here, the processing plant will no longer be safe, so the production lines in the processing plant will definitely be blocked, and those things that require her authority to obtain, she will definitely keep them personally for the sake of safety. The best place is of course her hiding place, but it has been burned down.

Of course, she would not choose other hiding places. Since this one was discovered, other locations might also be exposed. Then there were only two possibilities. One was to destroy all the materials, and the other was to send them back to the place where they were made. Due to the confidentiality of the items, it can be shown that they are not small gadgets that can be made casually. They must be very precious, so the destruction method can be rejected. Therefore, she will definitely send these things back to the production site in person.

And from the authority of that woman, and Han Zu's possible understanding of her, she must know the location of the manufacturing. This is also Han Zu's real purpose. He wants to find that location through this woman! ! "

It has to be said that the leader's thinking is very active. His guess is basically the same as Han Zu's idea. This is indeed Han Zu's real goal.

"Did you hear that?! Quick, organize the people right away! Send a few more elite teams. Maybe today we can find out what the former chairman, that mysterious old lady, is up to!"

"Understood. Teams 4, 7, and 12 are already on their way. They will be able to meet up with you soon. The location is up to you to decide."

"Information personnel must also be prepared. Since Han Zu wants to find the location where those things are made, it means that these things are either very useful to him, or they are used against him! We must get ahead of him. Do you understand?!"

"Yes!"

Suppressing their excitement, they monitored Han Zu again. His body was still hiding in the original position, but his hand had already reached the core area. After searching for a while, he slipped into the monitoring center responsible for the security of the processing plant.

The previous commotion in the processing plant did not affect the control personnel responsible for monitoring and security facilities. There were five people in total. They locked the security gate of the central control room and hid inside. Before that, they informed someone about the situation here, probably the woman.

It was indeed done correctly, of course, if Han Zu's palm had not melted through the ventilation duct and sneaked into the central control room.

The five people inside were highly focused, staring at the surrounding surveillance screens and the locked gate, and did not notice the strange hand crawling quietly on the ceiling. The hand slowly climbed through the wall to the console, and while others were not paying attention, it opened the security locks of the storage units, and then quietly destroyed them. From now on, it was completely impossible to view the previous surveillance video.
