Chapter 2982: Wei Mang Seeks Help
Suffering from aging disease simultaneously, and several people together, this looked more like some kind of genetic illness. The Eerie Sound Knights were closely connected, perhaps because they came from the same place.
However, similar genetic diseases were not uncommon in the game, making it difficult to trace their exact origins.
But according to Jin Feixue's notes, he seemed to have found some clues and was looking for a way to enter a Non-Ticket District.
He didn't write down the method for entering a Non-Ticket District, but aside from the necessary Space Teleportation Device, one would also need to know the teleportation coordinates, which was probably even harder to obtain than a cross-wormhole teleportation device.
There were no more clues in the notes. Xu Huo flipped through them for a while before putting them down.
Apart from that, the luggage compartment contained some less important items, along with a sealed metal box that required biometric authentication. However, since Jin Feixue was dead, not even a speck of ash left, it naturally couldn't be opened normally.
He would find a professional to try another day.
"Ding ding!" Several more messages appeared on the communicator, still from the same number. This time, the other party revealed a bit more. Their real goal was to rescue someone in an Instance Dungeon. They promised not only to give him everything obtained in the Instance Dungeon but also to pay him an additional fee. If he wanted items, that was also possible—the other party held a Game Item and several relatively rare Special Items. If he helped rescue the person, they could all be given to him.
"What type of Instance Dungeon?" Xu Huo hesitated slightly before sending a message to inquire.
"The situation is unclear for now, but it looks more like a Spatial Instance Dungeon," the other party replied. "The location is an old manor. Anyone who enters the manor disappears, but occasionally, those who went in send out some messages, confirming they are still inside the manor."
Had they entered a Mirror Space?
"Can Non-Ticket Players enter?" Xu Huo asked again.
"Yes, but this is an unlimited-time Instance Dungeon. Without a ticket, they might not be able to come out after entering," the other party replied.
After a moment, Xu Huo replied again, "I'll introduce you to a player from the Special Defense Department."
This meant he wasn't very interested in this Instance Dungeon.
The other party replied quickly, "Mr. Xu, I am Wei Mang. The one trapped is Wang Xiaohui. I am blocked outside the Instance Dungeon. Please, you must save her!"
Wei Mang, Wang Xiaohui.
These two names were not unfamiliar. Back on the preliminary train, Wei Mang had accepted his fate as a dead end, so he protected Wang Xiaohui and sent her to the second-class seats, allowing her to survive.
Afterward, Wang Xiaohui found Wei Mang and helped treat the Xenomorph poison on his body. Probably because of a special physical evolution, Wei Mang's condition did not worsen, and he remained active in the game as a player. Previously, Wang Xiaohui had come to Xu Huo to treat the poison on Wei Mang's body. At that time, Wang Xiaohui had already taken control of her family's assets and wanted to use the King Fungus for collaborative research, but he refused.
There had been no contact between them since.
However, he had seen Wang Xiaohui's name in the retained archives of the Safe Zone. During this district fusion, she had donated a large amount of wealth and goods, and it was targeted donations specifically for players and residents of some small and medium-sized cities, which had played a significant role.
Moreover, the player teams sponsored by the Wang family had saved many people while exploring Instance Dungeons.
Wang Xiaohui had a small reputation among players. She was generous and had helped many players and their families.
In that case, it was even more appropriate to have the Special Defense Department step in.
Xu Huo contacted Nie Xuan and explained Wang Xiaohui's situation.
Nie Xuan also knew Wang Xiaohui; she was a shrewd businesswoman. After a brief pause, he said, "I'll send some people over to take a look."
"Nie Xuan will contact you later," Xu Huo sent the message to Wei Mang.
After that, Wei Mang did not reply.
Going to the bathroom to take a shower, Xu Huo planned to sleep early today.
But just as he lay down, the communicator rang again. This time, it was a message from Li Chun, a photo. She, Minister Ji, and some unfamiliar faces were sitting around a table eating. Obviously, the others didn't want to take this photo; they were all forcing smiles, while she was grinning from ear to ear.
Pretending not to see it, he put down the communicator and turned over.
But only a few minutes passed, and there was another "ding ding" sound.
This time, it was a message from Nie Xuan, "The Wang Family Manor is an A-level closed Instance Dungeon with very high energy fluctuations. It belongs to the batch with the highest peak values among the Instance Dungeons currently born in District 014. It's not a simple Spatial Instance Dungeon. The person may not be saveable."
Before Xu Huo could reply, someone broke into the residential area. After injuring two players on night patrol, the person was intercepted not far from the main gate of the area.
"Mr. Xu, it's me, Wei Mang! Please save Xiaohui!"
"No shouting!" the nearby player scolded him. Seeing that he really couldn't get in, Wei Mang simply knelt down, his forehead touching the ground. "Xiaohui just had a child. If she dies, no one can take care of her child!"
The players stationed in the area saw no movement from inside, so they prepared to arrest him. But the next second, Wei Mang suddenly fell into a teleportation portal on the ground.
"I'll take charge of him. Sorry for the trouble," Xu Huo's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Looking at the person who had fallen into the living room, Xu Huo signaled his father, who had come out to check, to go back to his room, then walked downstairs. "Nie Xuan should have already sent people over."
Wei Mang maintained his kneeling posture. "The players from the Enforcement Department are unwilling to go in. I originally arranged for two people to go in and rescue her, but they seemed to have entered different spaces. The last time they sent a message, neither of them had found Xiaohui."
"Any news from Wang Xiaohui?" Xu Huo asked him to sit down.
"No," Wei Mang's scarred face showed pain. "But the other two who went in said that the other space was newer than the current manor."
"A manor from the past?" Xu Huo said.
"Yes, I'm worried the Instance Dungeon is related to the manor's past. Xiaohui lived a very hard life in the manor before." The lack of any news from Wang Xiaohui further confirmed this. Otherwise, why would the two who entered later have intermittent messages, while she had no news at all?
After speaking, Wei Mang placed the reward he had promised earlier on the table. "I know you might not think much of these things, but this is the best Xiaohui and I can offer."
"Wang Xiaohui entrusted these things to you for safekeeping?" Xu Huo paused. "What about her child?"
"Already sent away," Wei Mang said. "Now in a relatively safe place."
Xu Huo glanced at the communicator. Nie Xuan had sent another new message. The Instance Dungeon's area had suddenly expanded, pulling in Wang Xiaohui's uncle, the players he had brought, and several Enforcement Department players who were surveying, all into the Instance Dungeon.
"The Instance Dungeon has Spiritual Energy fluctuations. It might be a Mental Instance Dungeon."
