Chapter 1764: The Weakling's Revenge
"These two people lived in different places and had different life experiences. They only crossed paths because they had loved ones who died in the mining disaster."
"They were likely ordinary people their entire lives. According to the investigation data from Dingding Flower Town, Old Lady Mei was hospitalized when Xiasi Doriti disappeared, and on the surface, she had no opportunity or time to leave the town. However, because of Master Solan's completed painting 'Ember Maiden,' it can be inferred that she did leave Dingding Flower Town during that period."
"As for what method she used and whether anyone else helped, it's difficult to verify now."
"The remains of Old Lady Mei's two sons were originally buried in a cemetery funded by Tiantianle Group. After the aircraft crash incident, she secretly moved her sons' remains out of the cemetery during later memorial visits and reburied them in Sanhui City, which is Funiu Village."
"Whether choosing a different burial site was directly related to the kidnapping of Xiasi Doriti is unknown, but she likely met Enbo there."
"According to a technician who once worked at Tiantianle Group, the purpose of the aircraft crash was to silence unnecessary voices, and Old Lady Mei's two children were killed because they accidentally learned the truth about the mining disaster... This is his one-sided account, and there is no evidence to confirm it. But even if it were true, Old Lady Mei's anger should have been directed at Tiantianle Group. Yet she and Enbo chose Xiasi Doriti as their ultimate target."
"The reason is actually very simple. Both of them regarded Matri Doriti as their greatest revenge target."
Xu Huo finished speaking and then revealed part of the truth disclosed by members of the Hailes Group, as well as the fact that the religion they believed in had built a cemetery for the nameless victims, which had been worshipped for a hundred years. Some retired employees, feeling guilty, donated large sums of money to the cemetery every year.
"The cemetery is inside the Hailes Group headquarters building. It can now be verified, which is enough to prove that the mining group and the government at the time concealed the true death toll."
"If earthquakes were frequent and the mines were unsafe, the government should have enacted corresponding laws and regulations while avoiding recruiting a large number of workers during periods of high accident rates."
"They didn't do this, which means the government and the mining group at the time had problems."
"Information about the ground movements in Zone 019 during the high-accident period and the economic changes in the zone during that time can all be found on the Message Collection Terminal. Some practitioners involved in gem sales should still remember that the sales volume of human bone gems surged significantly after that period."
"And the source of human bone gems is undoubtedly the special bones evolved by people who had taken Evolution Agents. After undergoing special high-temperature treatment, they became a special shape of gem."
"However, the birth of this kind of gem is entirely a matter of luck. Not every evolved person's remains can produce such gems. This should be the truth behind the high frequency of mining disasters."
"At that time, Zone 019 was in an economic bottleneck. The government was unable to turn the situation around and could only obtain large amounts of funds in this way. Therefore, in addition to the major mining groups, the District Government was also one of the conspirators."
"As the Grand Archon at the time, Matri Doriti had veto power. Although, given the situation back then, this veto power might not have taken effect, the fact that the District Government participated in this massacre of ordinary people was enough to destroy the sense of belonging of any ordinary person in Zone 019."
"Old Lady Mei and Enbo, as two ordinary people, one lived in seclusion in a retirement town, only returning to her hometown on the anniversary of her children's deaths each year. The other disguised himself as an eccentric loner and dug a prison cell two hundred meters deep from the ground beneath his own home. With astonishing perseverance and determination, the two spent the rest of their lives working together to complete this task. They successfully kidnapped and killed Xiasi Doriti, sealing his remains in amber for over a hundred years."
"The two participants have long since passed away over a hundred years ago, but the underground passage beneath the Amber Square in Ember City still exists. This kidnapping incident neither had any substantial impact on the District Government or the mining group, nor did it achieve the goal of venting anger. But it really happened."
Xu Huo paused before continuing: "This is the weakling's revenge."
The weakling's revenge. Yes, let alone Old Lady Mei and Enbo, even if all the scattered family members of the victims were gathered together, what could they do? At most, they would cause a stir and then face incidents like "aircraft crashes" and "accidental robberies." To maintain the stability of the zone, even if not out of their own will, the District Government could only turn a blind eye. So these two people, one old and one disabled, used all their strength to complete a revenge.
The power might be insignificant, but the conviction it unleashed was enough to intimidate anyone.
And they were just two of the weakest people in Zone 019.
Like ants roaring.
It was this roar that made the District Government and the mining group realize that they were not absolutely powerful, nor were they without enemies. Enemies could exist in places unseen.
"As for Master Solan..." Xu Huo paused here. "I'm sorry, but my jamming device has been breached. Government players will find this place soon. At the same time tomorrow morning, I still hope to have a conversation with Matri Doriti."
With that, he shut down the Message Collection Terminal and removed the already hot jamming device. But at that moment, a prompt sound suddenly came from the jamming device, followed by a digital countdown.
He only had thirty seconds to leave the nursing home.
Thirty seconds meant that the District Government players were already close. Time-space items should have set up area restrictions. Xu Huo took out "Three Seconds of Life," causing the surrounding time-space items and devices to fail before preparing to use a teleportation item to leave. However, he then noticed that all the armed robots around were facing the nursing home but remained motionless. So he abandoned the teleportation item and instead used space movement to reach a street a thousand meters away.
But as soon as he landed, he was hit by trait attacks from different directions. This should have been a trap set up by the zone players in advance. Fortunately, this time, the trait attacks were all blocked by "Life Flashback," giving him five seconds to escape.
This was the city center. Before moving him to a sparsely populated area, the government side would not rashly start a battle. However, facing the approaching advanced players, Xu Huo felt immense pressure. Moreover, several attempts to move in different directions were blocked by an invisible wall.
Zone 019 had advanced technological development, so it was not surprising that they had any kind of weapon. Therefore, he had no choice but to return to the nursing home. He said to Old Mr. Yue, who opened the door, "Sorry, I have to trouble you again."
