Deceitful Game

Chapter 250 The Deterrent Power of Section Chief Ming

Ai Shiping's words were so light and easy.

Light and airy, like a jellyfish... it possesses an invisible poison.

His words contained no offensive intent, yet they caused everyone's expressions to change.

……yes.

If the order in which they wake up represents their "strength," and the two strongest are placed last and become the "wolves," then why is Mo Qian, who wakes up third, clearly stronger than them on every level?

Despite Ai Shiping's seemingly effortless retort, Mo Qian still managed to take the hit of his own boomerang.

But if it were someone else, Mo Qian might have already established his leadership position by stepping over the two of them!

Once the score reaches 11:2, the outcome is essentially set.

The wolf hiding among the sheep would never dare to emerge at this time. And because of the fear that the two strongest individuals "might be wolves," the others would be forced to unite.

Mo Qian clearly knew some information about the Deceitful Game.

He naturally knew long ago that the "order" of the deceptive game must have meaning.

Regardless of the specific meaning of the "order of waking up" in this game, he can incite others to isolate these two people.

If we compare Mo Qian, the third to wake up with almost no prosthetics, to Ming Po, the last two to wake up and whose aura clearly indicates he's not someone to mess with, then the latter would definitely be more troublesome as a wolf. Therefore, people would "want him to become a wolf even less."

"And that's not all."

At this moment, the man whose name had been revealed by the host, "Chen Bingwen," adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "This is a train, and we are in one of the carriages. This is clearly neither the front nor the back of the train... which means we have two doors to go through."

"...I understand!"

The girl's eyes lit up: "So we definitely have to split into two teams!"

"That's right."

Chen Bingwen nodded: "Based on the order in which they wake up, the 'early awakeners' who spend more time together are likely to form two groups with the 'late awakeners' who hardly interact with others."

"In order to save time and find the parts that need repair as quickly as possible... that means the two teams will go down two different routes, one after the other."

"If only people died on the other side, wouldn't that rule out everyone on that side?"

Chen Bingwen slowly began, "So it can't be that simple; that would be unfair to the wolves. In this game, the wolves are already at a significant disadvantage. How can the disadvantaged side possibly accept disadvantageous rules and participate in the game with an almost certain defeat from the start?"

As he spoke, he looked at Mingpo: "So, what the order in which they woke up means... is already quite clear."

"That's [intensity]. Right, Section Chief Ming?"

Mingpo, who was leaning back on the sofa, slowly opened her eyes.

He looked at Chen Bingwen indifferently.

Even so, the others took a half step back in fear.

"Oh?"

Mingpo chuckled: "Not bad, Judge Chen."

As the head of the executive department, Mingpo's identity is kept extremely confidential. It's not something just anyone could obtain information about him. And Mingpo has only been the head of the department for a full day.

How did this corporate judge manage to obtain Mingpo's information, even though they were in different sectors?

"You're too high-profile."

Chen Bingwen pushed up his glasses again and said calmly, "He is the head of the Sixth Section of the Execution Department of Gao Tian Life, and the Gao family's favorite executioner recently. He killed more than twenty colleagues overnight without leaving a trace, and forcibly dragged back the traitor who had already fled to Wangchuan Biology's territory."

"The executive and legal departments of other major companies are all reviewing your video, Section Chief Ming. We take you very seriously..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Qian: "He values ​​it far more than the people in your own sector."

Upon hearing Mingpo's identity, almost everyone showed intense fear.

The man, as thin as a bamboo pole, even swayed and fell to the ground. But even after falling, he didn't dare cry out in pain. Because he was an employee of Gaotian Life.

He certainly knew under what circumstances the company's executive department would be mobilized...

Company Executive Department.

That was an evil thing that could be called the "Darkness of the Eight Giants".

All the dirty work in the company can ultimately be done by the execution department. Of course, they won't be involved in anything that doesn't meet the required standards. And they won't be involved in anything that other departments can handle.

If the executive department is mobilized, it means the company has decided to "use any means necessary".

That's their method.

In the Ming Dynasty, this would be equivalent to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which had at least half the authority of the Eastern and Western Depots. A section chief was roughly equivalent to a commander of a thousand men, a fifth-rank official. Don't underestimate that rank.

Even if it were a department head or director from another department, if they looked up in the middle of the night and saw Mingpo silently appear in their house, they would probably be so scared that they would wet themselves.

As for the other smaller companies within those sectors, needless to say.

Although the Big Eight allow these companies to be established, these companies must purchase expensive technology patents from the Big Eight. If they dare to research the paradoxical technology on their own, disassemble or further study the technology licensed by the company, the executive department will come knocking on their door that very day.

Slaughtering the entire family of high-ranking officials is considered standard practice.

To prevent memory contamination and technology leaks, it's very likely that the entire R&D department will need to be thoroughly cleaned up.

If an ordinary company employee saw the executive department of Gao Tian Life appear in their company during their work hours, they might not even dare to ask for their salary and would turn around and run away on the spot.

If we don't run now, we might have to turn back.

And this monstrous person, who only existed in legends, appeared before them.

Some people initially thought Mingpo was quite rude for staying silent with his eyes closed, and even wanted to teach him a lesson.

But now that he knows Mingpo's identity, he suddenly feels that he is too polite. He just closed his eyes and did not make a move. This is too tolerant and too gentle!

No wonder Mingpo was judged as the "strongest" by the Deceitful Game.

This is absolutely reasonable.

If Mingpo were a "wolf," he could truly kill everyone here at will. Even without the ability to use the liquefied Time Chips to accelerate himself, at this distance, he could still fight unarmored units with no combat experience...

If Bangbang doesn't die after two punches, then it's considered a blowout.

That's the level of intensity in the company's executive department.

The section chief is, after all, the highest-ranking position in the operational level. Any higher and you're in management, no longer doing fieldwork.

In other words, the strongest individual combat power of the eight giants that outsiders can see is at the level of Ming Po.

A fully-fledged executive officer, at the very least, must possess the ability to reliably wipe out a city solo, with full equipment and unlimited supplies. Of course, interns like Gu Ke'er don't count for now.

The "cities" referred to here are the settlements of the hive cities. If this level of deterrence is not achieved, such a large sector simply cannot be managed by the executive department alone.

Even... even Gu Ke'er, she could at least take down one of those heavily modified cybernetic security guards from the security department in a one-on-one fight. She just lacks combat experience and her mentality isn't quite right yet, but with her educational resources and cybernetic body fully utilized, she might not be that much weaker if they really went all out. In an instant, Ming Po became the person with the highest status among everyone.

Although he said nothing, he had already become the de facto "leader".

Because no one, including Mo Qian, would attempt to seize the right to speak from Ming Po.

It's not just that this network is extremely valuable.

Moreover... if Mingpo really is a wolf, he could simply reveal his identity and demand that others obey his orders.

If they killed the head of the executive department here, they would pay the price if the news leaked. Even knowing that Mingpo was a wolf, they might not dare to kill him.

Losing half your chips is just a small loss, but killing such an important figure is a real death sentence.

After learning of Mingpo's identity, people belatedly began to look at Ai Shiping.

...to be judged by the Deceitful Game to be at the same "strength" level as the head of the Executive Department of the Eight Giants.

Who is this incredibly ruthless person?!
