Chapter 772 - Chapter 772: Chapter 404: The Corpse of the Night Patrol_2 (2/2)
Under cover of night, he transformed into a flying bird and set off towards Great Capital City.
Two hours later, he arrived in Great Capital City.
This time he didn’t hide; he appeared directly as Wang Nan.
This move was very effective; his appearance was quickly discovered by the Official authorities, who sent someone specifically to find him.
“Wang Nan, we meet again.”
Over ten minutes later, in a meeting room at the top of a building, a middle-aged man looked at Su Nan with a smile and said, flanked by two soldiers armed to the teeth.
“Minister Zhao,” Su Nan nodded in greeting.
The middle-aged man was Zhao Qifeng, the same Official from the Great Yu Imperial City who had dealt with him for the Yin Yang Cross-realm Disk in the game.
“I must also thank you for the Yin Yang Cross-realm Disk that you provided. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for our soldiers entering the game to grow without ten days to half a month.” Zhao Qifeng smiled.
“Minister Zhao is being too courteous; it was only a transaction,” Su Nan said indifferently.
After exchanging some more pleasantries, they swiftly got to the main point. Zhao Qifeng said, “Brother Wang Nan is usually so busy; a divine dragon seen in head but not the tail. What brings you to us this time?”
Without beating around the bush, Su Nan replied directly, “I want all the information you have on the Night Patrol.”
Hearing this, Zhao Qifeng was startled. He had considered various possibilities but had never expected this one.
Then, Zhao Qifeng seemed to think of something and furrowed his brow with some difficulty, “Regarding the Night Patrol, we don’t know much either. I am afraid we will not be able to provide much help.”
“It’s not that you don’t know much; you simply don’t want to say, right?” Su Nan looked at Zhao Qifeng skeptically, naturally not believing his words.
The Official’s cooperation with the Night Patrol wasn’t just a day or two; how could they not have investigated the Night Patrol.
Somewhat helplessly, Zhao Qifeng said, “To tell you the truth, the information about the Night Patrol is highly classified. Even I cannot divulge it to you at my own discretion.”
“Highly classified?”
Su Nan grew interested and even more curious about what kind of information could still be highly classified in this day and age.
Staring at Zhao Qifeng, Su Nan considered how to obtain the information.
Feeling Su Nan’s gaze on him, Zhao Qifeng’s pupils flickered slightly. Changing his tone, he continued, “However, nothing is absolute. If you can provide us with information of equal value, there is nothing wrong with us telling you everything we know.”
“What do you want to know?” Su Nan asked indifferently.
“We want to know exactly who that person on Song Mountain is?” Zhao Qifeng stared intently at Su Nan, asking without hesitation.
Hearing this, Su Nan thought to himself, as expected.
When he heard Zhao Qifeng seeking information from him, he had a premonition that Zhao Qifeng might ask about Song Mountain.
It was also normal; he had repeatedly made impactful appearances as “Buddha,” and the Official would certainly do everything to clarify the situation on Song Mountain as a priority.
Keeping his expression unchanged, he said, “I do not know the identity of that person. All I can tell you is that their strength is beyond your imagination.”
Of course, he would never admit that he was the “Buddha.”
After a pause, he went on to say, “The Heavenly Race individual who descended yesterday was of Saint Level, but unfortunately, he still died.”
The purpose of his remark was simple: to mislead the Official about the capabilities of the “Buddha,” making them believe that the “Buddha” could kill a Saint Level being.
The Official was questioning him, undoubtedly suspecting a connection between him and the person on Song Mountain. Now, by deliberately playing up the strength of the “Buddha,” he could also avoid any suspicion.
“The Heavenly Race? Saint Level?”
“Indeed!” Zhao Qifeng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his shock barely concealed.
After seeing the Heavenly Race shadow yesterday, the Official had scoured ancient books in the game extensively. Unfortunately, relevant information was scarce, and in the end, they could only guess based on snippets of information.
Now that he had a confirmed answer from Su Nan, despite previous speculations, Zhao Qifeng was still excited.
Knowing that their country was under the protection of someone capable of defeating a Saint Level being, they didn’t have to worry about the threat of annihilation should the game fully descend into reality.
At this moment, Su Nan had another thought and said, “That individual is collecting incense fire aspiration force. If you wish to receive their assistance, you might consider helping them spread their incense fire.”
“Help them spread their incense fire?”
Zhao Qifeng’s eyes lit up as he couldn’t help but ponder the feasibility.
A moment later.
A tightly wrapped package of files was delivered. Keeping to their agreement, Zhao Qifeng handed over all the information Su Nan wanted.
Although he did not get the answer he was hoping for, being able to confirm some prior guesses was also not too bad.
Su Nan opened the files and rapidly reviewed them. Initially, he remained calm, but as he read further, his brows furrowed more.
