Chapter 1213 Identity Leak
Zhang Heng had no idea that the forum was already in an uproar.
However, not long after he checked the website, he received two more wechat messages. One was from Shen Xixi, and the other was from Fu Lou.
Zhang Heng first read Fu Lou’s message, which was probably sent in a group, reminding the players to pay attention to their personal safety recently. After reading it, Zhang Heng frowned, and then saw Shen Xixi’s message. — where are you?
Zhang Heng replied.
-– holiday trip — that’s good.
On the other side, Shen Xixi seemed to heave a sigh of relief. After a moment, she sent another message.
-— have you logged on to that website?
When Zhang Heng heard Shen Xixi’s question, he speculated that the other party had received the same prank message as him. It was also at this time that Zhang Heng realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed. However, before he could reply to Shen Xixi, he received another new message.
This time, it was another unfamiliar number. Zhang Heng even compared it with the number that sent the prank message. The result was different, and the content of this message was no longer confusing, because there were only two words.
— Simon?
— who are you?
Zhang Heng typed back a question.
— is it really Simon?! Oh My God, I’m a small fan of yours. I just didn’t expect you to be a student like me?! And our schools are quite close to each other. When you’re free, Can I come to your school to play with you?
The owner of the unfamiliar number appeared very excited.
However, in the previous dungeon, Zhang Heng had already been baptized by a wave of fans. Loki’s disguised beheading youth had almost fooled one of their player teams, causing Zhang Heng to have a shadow over his fans and whatnot, and he was more concerned about another problem.
— why do you have my contact information?
— hehehe, I was just lucky.
The owner of the unfamiliar number said.
— but you don’t have to worry, I mean you no harm. But Simon, ah, no… Brother Zhang, you still have to be careful of the people from the three major guilds, especially the arc of light.
Just as Zhang Heng finished reading, he received another message.
— Zhang Heng? Your parents are in our hands. If you want them to live, you can mail a b-grade equipment to this address below. Money first, people later..
Zhang Heng flipped through the vicious-sounding kidnapping message expressionlessly, but his heart did not waver. He was now certain that his identity had been leaked by someone, but he did not know where the source of the leak was, so what if it was leaked.
But at least for now, the person who sent the message to threaten him didn’t know anything about his family. Rather than calling it a threat, it was more like a scam. Otherwise, he should have paid more attention to the address, at the very least, he should have picked a foreign address.
That was because his parents weren’t even in the country, and they were nowhere to be found. Even Zhang Heng himself didn’t know where the two were fooling around at the moment, kidnapping them was like winning the lottery.
Even though he knew that his family wasn’t in any danger, Zhang Heng didn’t relax. After all, any player would be in grave danger if their identity was exposed.
When he first joined the game as an agent, D4 had warned him about this. According to D4, at the beginning of the game, the players were actually quite friendly with each other, they would also share information and help each other in raiding dungeons. Not long after, they would specifically hunt each other and snatch items and points for each other.
That was the bloodiest and darkest period in the history of the players. Basically, everyone was in danger. Other than racking their brains to get through the rounds of dungeons, they also had to deal with assassinations in the real world, those who were lucky enough to survive had no choice but to choose to hide their identities.
Until now, all players had basically used code names to call themselves. Unless they were teammates and trusted friends who were in a dungeon together, they would not reveal their real identities to the other party, and everyone gradually got used to this method of communication. Especially after the appearance of the player forum, it provided everyone with a relatively safe platform to share information. The number of hunters who targeted other players also decreased significantly
However, Zhang Heng knew that this did not mean that the relationship between the player groups had become harmonious. Once his identity was exposed, danger would still be everywhere in this mysterious world, furthermore, he had just revealed that he had a B-grade item through a post by fortune building. This was enough to make anyone envious. From this moment on, he knew that he could no longer return to his previous life.
However, the current Zhang Heng was also completely different from a year ago. If it was him back then, facing such a dangerous environment, he would probably only have a dead end, however, the current him had a complete skill system that no one could rival. Other than that, he also possessed all sorts of powerful items. Even if a god was in front of him, he could still fight. Although his identity would be exposed severely.., however, it was not the end of the world for him.
However, the most important thing now was to find out how his identity had been exposed.
Normally, in such a situation, it was more likely that something had happened to the people around him. However, after a simple search, Zhang Heng did not find anyone who had enough motive to do such a thing. Furthermore, after contacting the strange message he had received earlier.., as well as the message that seemed to have been sent by a group of people, Zhang Heng realized that he might not be the only one who had fallen for the trap.
Therefore, he used the computer in the lounge to log into the players’forum. The banner on the front page of the players Forum had a reminder, hoping that the login could find a safe place and not log into the forum in public. However, Zhang Heng was currently in Denmark, so there were not many Chinese people around him, the website was also written in Chinese, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Zhang Heng opened the website and didn’t even need to look for it. The entire players’forum was filled with posts discussing the matter. It took Zhang Heng two minutes to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Only then did he realize that the website had hidden players’information. He hesitated for a moment before getting up to look for his computer. He was delayed for a while, so he didn’t get to the time when the website was still open.
The time in between was actually not particularly long, so the forums were all guessing how many people had actually seen the form, and whether it was possible for the form to be downloaded.
At this moment, a few people who had seen the form had already spoken up one after another. They all said that they hadn’t seen the download button. At the same time, the atmosphere in the forum had also become a little strange. The few ids that had been active before.., some of them were unusually silent at this moment. They were clearly worried that their identities would be exposed and that they would be targeted.
From the words, one could feel the anxiety and pressure of the players. From the newbie who had just entered this hidden world to the level that they had gradually grown to today, the vast majority of people had already gotten used to this kind of double-sided life, some people had quit their jobs to focus on raiding dungeons. However, for many people who had families, their choice was to maintain a normal life without raising any suspicions while taking risks in the game world.
They can’t imagine what would happen to their daily lives if their real identities were revealed, and whether it would put their families at risk.
