Don’t Slander (Chapter 128)
She doesn't know how the chat rooms in other areas of the base are, but the one in the outer city district that Ye Sheng just joined is buzzing with activity.
[Sad Grass]: Holy crap, big news, big news! HS was taken down by the base authorities in one fell swoop!
[Rat is the Real Delicacy]: Huh? Really? No way. I heard through the grapevine that HS has big shots backing them. How could something happen to them?
[Yellow]: What’s HS?
[dshh]: I heard that HS had an internal fight over uneven distribution of spoils, and both sides ended up severely injured. The commotion was so big that it attracted the base authorities to investigate.
Ye Sheng silently watched the chat, scratching her forehead in confusion.
If she weren’t one of the parties involved, she might have believed their words.
HS was obviously the abbreviation for the black market.
But the news about the black market auction being ambushed hadn’t spread?
She remembered that quite a few people had escaped at the time.
[Traveler Zhou]: You guys have been blabbering for so long, but none of you got to the point. The issue was with the black market auction. Someone ambushed it, killing all the guards.
Just as Ye Sheng was puzzled, someone who seemed to be in the know immediately jumped in.
This statement instantly ignited the atmosphere, making the chat room even more lively.
[Hehehe]: What? Such a big scoop, and I just found out about it now? Too bad! Bro, tell us more! I’m all ears!
[Clock]: Let’s keep it coded when talking about the black market. Be careful of online tracking.
[Gentle Breeze]: HS’s auction was prepared for so long. How could it be ambushed so easily?
[Traveler Zhou]: Ahem, HS was well-prepared. They had seven espers alone. The guards were just ordinary people, so it’s not surprising they were killed by mistake.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng, who was sitting on her bed, became interested. It seemed this Traveler Zhou knew quite a bit!
At the very least, the ordinary customers at the auction wouldn’t have known about the Espers hidden in the shadows.
[Hehehe]: Damn, even seven Espers couldn’t stop them? Which big shot robbed HS?
[Sad Grass]: Is this the HS that’s said to have high-grade transformation potions???
[Yellow]: Shocked.jpg
[Traveler Zhou]: As someone who was at the auction, I almost died today. Luckily, I ran fast, but because of my job, I was interrogated by the authorities and was only released half an hour ago.
[Hehehe]: Brother, what’s the situation now? Did the authorities find out anything?
Seeing the chat room discussing the big shot who even seven Espers couldn’t stop, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle, her dark eyes gleaming with pride. That big shot was in the room next to hers!
Though she knew Gu Luoyu was strong, she didn’t expect her to be this powerful.
Compared to her, the other Espers were like elementary school graduates versus high schoolers, the gap in strength was just too vast!
Of course, it could also be that the Espers they encountered this time were all weaklings, with none of them being a match.
[Traveler Zhou]: I can’t say much, but this incident is very serious and has caused a huge impact. The authorities are furious and are demanding a thorough investigation… Brothers involved in illegal businesses, take a break and lay low for now!
[Gentle Breeze]: It’s that serious? Did they lose a lot of good stuff?
[Clock]: According to incomplete statistics, HS suffered massive losses. Besides Erensu’s personal weapon being damaged, they also lost thirty high-grade transformation potions.
[Yellow]: Erensu’s personal weapon!!!!!
[Gentle Breeze]: Thirty high-grade transformation potions! Some are dying of thirst while others are drowning. I can’t even find a way to buy one medium-grade potion. Damn rich people, I’m so jealous.
Ye Sheng: Damn it!!!
(▼ヘ▼#)
This is slander.
There were only twelve potions.
The rest were fakes.
[Yellow]: How could HS have so many high-grade transformation potions? That’s not normal!
[Sad Grass]: Brother, are you joking? It’s obvious it’s not normal. HS being able to auction off those potions must mean they have someone backing them. Maybe it’s even a special transaction between multiple parties! But at least it’s a clean transaction, and the good stuff is being released instead of being kept internally.
[Gentle Breeze]: Even if it’s released, it’s not something ordinary people can get. Just dream about it.
[Traveler Zhou]: Anyway, losing so many potions is a huge blow to anyone, especially since high-grade potions are extremely valuable and rare. This incident definitely won’t be taken lightly. Everyone’s keeping an eye on the follow-up.
[Clock]: There’s evidence that the person who robbed HS was Erensu.
[Sad Grass]: ???
[Hehehe]: ???
[Gentle Breeze]: ???
Erensu, the Queen of Slaughter, truly lived up to being the ‘celebrity’ of the safe zone. Just the mention of his name immediately caught everyone’s attention, especially now that it’s tied to the black market auction ambush, making people even more curious.
Hasn’t Erensu been missing for a while?
[Traveler Zhou]: @Clock, brother, don’t talk nonsense!
[Clock]: No, besides the potions being stolen, the only other thing damaged at the auction was Erensu’s personal weapon. Everything else was untouched… Although the people who were conscious at the auction all lost parts of their memories, some of them recovered their memories after using a special device from the research institute.
[Hehehe]: Wow, a special device from the research institute? Impressive!
[Clock]: After hearing the descriptions from those who recovered their memories and seeing the broken weapon, it’s clear that Erensu, who has returned, was unhappy about her weapon being auctioned off.
Ye Sheng stared at the lively chat room, dumbfounded. How did it suddenly shift to Erensu?
This [Clock]’s comments felt deliberate.
Otherwise, [Traveler Zhou] was being vague and hesitant, but [Clock] was speaking freely, providing detailed descriptions.
It felt like a fishing expedition.
And the special device from the research institute was probably targeting psychic abilities!
She’d better tell Gu Luoyu about this later and have her be more careful…
[Gentle Breeze]: @Clock, brother, tell the truth, are you from the authorities?
[Yellow]: I think so.
[Traveler Zhou]: +1
[Clock]: I am indeed a staff member handling this incident. I’m saying all this to remind everyone to be vigilant. If you encounter anything unusual, like recent memory loss, please report it immediately to assist in the investigation.
Ye Sheng wasn’t the only one who found [Clock] suspicious.
After reading [Clock]’s messages, Ye Sheng frowned and closed the chat room, deciding not to join in the excitement anymore… She had learned what she needed to know.
The base authorities were gearing up to capture Erensu!
Too bad, the Erensu who appeared at the auction was a fake~
Still, it served as a warning to Ye Sheng. She felt that she and Gu Luoyu needed to lay low for a while. Just the fact that the research institute’s special device could recover memories showed that psychic abilities weren’t foolproof.
There was still a risk of being discovered.
So, for now, let’s focus on the lottery!
