Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659

(We’ll modify it later) The woman said a jumble of things, but the female player understood. In simple terms, she was lucky to be rescued by a passing player after being captured.

Members of the Special Defense Department all have communication with each other. If it were one of their people, they would certainly have issued an alert immediately. Since there wasn’t, it shouldn’t be an internal member.

"You’re lucky. How’s the child?" The female player stepped forward to check.

"I don’t know what happened, it felt like a gust of wind blew over, and suddenly the child got much better..." Even in her panic, the woman didn’t forget her child.

The female player checked and found that the child’s breathing was indeed normal, and the forehead wasn’t very hot, so she said: "I’ll inform my colleagues and take you to the hospital first."

"Thank you, thank you..." The woman was about to kneel down and kowtow to her in gratitude.

"If you want to thank someone, thank the nameless hero who saved you." The female player said, at least when she and her companion arrived nearby, they hadn’t noticed anyone around—this wasn’t the first time such an example had occurred.

Subsequent players from the Special Defense Department returned empty-handed. Even though they secured the nearby streets immediately, they still couldn’t find the Cannibal Player who ran out. The other party had destroyed several streets of lighting facilities and disappeared into the darkness without a trace, as if they had suddenly entered the game.

However, the players from the Special Defense Department knew that the person hadn’t escaped into the game, because similar cases had appeared three times recently. Even if they entered only the station and not the instance, it wouldn’t account for so many Return Tickets to fabricate.

At this point, the Special Defense Department had to admit that there was a significant power gap between them and this group of Cannibal Players.

"Who was the player who rescued people?" someone asked.

"Not sure, and they didn’t contact us either."

"It’s a pity. If we had encountered them, maybe we could have learned how to see through the Cannibal Player’s disguise."

Because of this brief pursuit, Nan City was destined to have another sleepless night. In addition to street lights, the Special Defense Department had turned on large floodlights throughout the city, striving to make the whole city as bright as day. The Special Defense Department players and police jointly mobilized, checking street by street, and even if they couldn’t catch anyone, they were determined not to give the opponent a second chance to strike.

But what was unexpected was that the escaped Cannibal Player was actually hiding near Camphor Neighborhood. He had taken off his protective suit and removed his Characteristics, transforming into an ordinary migrant worker, living in a rented one-bedroom apartment, openly accepting the Special Defense Department’s doorstep inspection.

The Special Defense Department hadn’t yet popularized the use of physical Detectors, so under normal circumstances, they could only temporarily judge whether a normal person might be a player based on whether they wore a Prop or not.

Of course, careful observation may reveal some physical changes brought by physical Evolution after becoming a player. Experienced players can even judge a person’s approximate Evolution Rate from these changes, but these changes can be disguised, especially when facing some inexperienced new players without much equipment.

This seemingly honest middle-aged man carefully answered the Special Defense Department’s questions and worriedly inquired if there had been another murder.

The people from the Special Defense Department symbolically reassured him a couple of sentences before leaving.

As soon as the door closed, the person who appeared somewhat timid the previous second immediately switched his expression to one of ferocious arrogance mixed with uncontrollable anger.

He touched his lips, licking them, seemingly wanting to savor the taste of blood between his teeth. However, for the sake of disguise, he had long washed his mouth clean with mouthwash, so now he could taste nothing at all.

The anger from a failed hunt came quickly and faded just as fast. He continued from
