Chapter 64: Bizarre Theft

"What happened?"

"A Kirin Warrior staring online just now told me that there was an emergency in Aisinger."

"No? Is it true? I just walked for a while and what's so annoying?"

"I don't know either, it's very serious anyway. Hongyue and Ying are looking for you."

"It's really troublesome." I turned around and said to Rose, "You can take them to familiarize themselves with the use of their new bodies first, and wait until I go and see." After I was in a panic, I quickly ran to the command center of the God of War. Anyway, if there is something wrong in the guild, he will definitely know that as long as I go here, it is more effective than finding anyone. "What happened?"

"This." The military god threw a piece of crystal over without looking back.

I nervously caught Shuijing and looked at it. "Isn't this an ordinary white magic crystal?"

"Yes, but it's not shipped alone."

“How does it ship with me?”

"Because everything that was originally transported with it disappeared, and this is the only one left."

"Wait, what do you mean is our transportation team snatched?" I was so angry that I swept the magic crystal on my hand hard to the ground. With a bang, the magic crystal immediately exploded, and the shock wave turned me to a big fright. "I forgot to catch the white magic crystal! The God of War, tell me who dared to steal our things, and I went to settle them."

"have no idea."

"Ah? What did you say?" The God of War has always been known for being omniscient here. Now this guy actually told me that he doesn't know, which is too surprising!

"I said I don't know."

"You don't know? How could you not know? You don't ask if we have something snatched up?"

"It's not that I didn't ask, but that no one in the transportation team knew what was going on."

"You tell me in detail what's going on."

"You'd better ask those who are escorting the specific situation. I only know that our transport team will mine a high-quality colorful magic crystal in France and plan to transport it to Aisinger. However, after loading the car there, our goods were transported to Aisinger all the way, but when the warehouse here opened, they found that the cars were empty."

"Empty? Where is that thing? Did it evaporate halfway?" When I said this, I suddenly noticed a problem. "Wait. Do you think the colorful magic crystals are being pulled in the car?"

"Yes. I pulled half a truck of colorful magic crystals on the car. In order to prevent being attacked, we specially covered half a truck of white magic crystals on it and pretended. Then we sent an escort team to escort according to the normal transportation method. Everything was carried out in secret. I can guarantee that there was absolutely no problem with us."

"But the problem is that things are gone now!"

"That's why I said I don't know!"

"Damn! Such bizarre thefts will happen? Do you encounter international thieves?"

The War God shook his head: "The things were loaded in front of more than a dozen people at the departure point. After the box was sealed, there was a escort team of dozens of people. Then there was no parking along the way, and the seals of the goods were intact. I just didn't know why the things were missing!"

"Damn it! This is OK? OK, I understand, I'll ask the escorts. Where are they now?"

"Eagle and they are in the small conference hall, and Hongyue is also there. The transport trucks are all in the warehouse area. Now they have been taken care of by a dedicated person. I have also sent people to check the road along the way, but there is no gain yet."

I left the War God and quickly ran to the small conference hall, but found that there was a large group of people here. Hongyue was discussing theft with Sumei and the others. She immediately ran over when she saw me appear. "Where are you going? At such a critical moment, she actually disappeared with Rose. I am so anxious!"

"Sorry, there is something going on in our family. How is it going? How is the matter going?"

Hongyue shook her head. "No. The escort people promised that they had not opened the seal along the way, and the transportation teams of our guild would keep a full video of the video to make information. We had just been watching the video. But still didn't find anything wrong."

Eagle also walked over and said, "It's so damn. You can throw things even at such a short distance."

“It’s not close to France to Aisinger!”

"But things have not been transported like this. The mining site is near Paris. The mining area is now built like a bunker by us. It is impossible to have a chance to start inside. Besides, there are ten cars of colorful magic crystals. Even if each car is only half filled, the remaining half of the white magic crystals are not left. So the enemy stole the whole ten cars of things but no one found it."

"Where did that thing pass by when leaving the mining area?"

"It's an ordinary road after leaving the fortress. I passed by a service station in the guild and replenished the drinking water, but the guards sent a few people to replenish it first. When the convoy arrived, they followed it. The convoy kept stopping in the middle. After passing the service station, it was Tianyu City. Then, it was used to use Tianyu City's cross-border teleportation array to teleport directly to Aisinger. In theory, it would be impossible for any problem to happen in this section."

I lowered my head and thought for a while, then looked at the group of guards in the field. According to my idea, the enemy used some kind of stealing method that we don't know, and it should be possible to rule out the possibility of guards stealing themselves. First of all, our guild review was very strict. I have always emphasized that our guild would rather be insignificant than to be abusive, so the quality of members was first-class. Besides, our welfare was so good, we wouldn't think of betraying us. Let's take a step back. Even if someone had a strange intention, what should others do? An escort team had more than ten player guards, forty or fifty NPC guards and more than twenty NPC workers. How could a dozen players betrayed together?

So simple? Let’s talk about NPC? In Zero, you can buy NPCs, but that’s not something that everyone can do. You must have a high affinity, such as me. But it’s easy to understand how to buy so many NPCs. This project is a bit too big, right? Besides, our guards are randomly matched by the God of War. Players don’t know which NPCs are used to escort before participating in the mission. How to buy this method? You can’t buy all NPCs, right? Do you still have to steal our colorful magic crystals with financial resources? He may be more expensive than the colorful magic crystals for this!

After thinking about surveillance and robbery, it can be directly eliminated. Then only the enemy's plan is left. The problem is that the confessions and videos of these people show that they have no pause along the way. How did the enemy move away ten trucks of supplies?

Seeing that I had not spoken, Eagle knew that I was in pain, so he patted my shoulder. "Don't worry too much. Although such losses are difficult to accept, they will not hurt the root cause, so don't be too sad."

"I am not hurting the colorful magic crystals, but thinking about the future. Since the other party can get the colorful magic crystals out under our noses, can anything else be done? Have you ever thought about how much damage this can cause to us? If our ammunition and supplies are lost during the expedition, how can we fight?"

"I didn't expect this. But you don't have to be so anxious. We will always think of it."

Hongyue also comforted me and said, "Yes, don't worry. If you can't figure it out, you might as well think about it from another perspective."

I nodded: "I don't help you to stop here. You should do your own business first. Don't make things difficult for these guards. I believe my members will not do such things."

The guards immediately stood up excitedly when they heard this. "President...we...!"

"I know. You will definitely not feel good if you lose something, but it's useless to blame yourself. Why not go back and flip through the video or search along the way to see if there are any clues." After that, I turned around and said to a member of the guild around me, "Go and tell the military gods that blockade news, don't post this matter first."

"clear."

"Forget it." I called the member again. "I'd better go there myself! I still have something to do to find the military god. Hongyue, you guys go and do it first."

After I dismissed everyone, I immediately returned to the side of the War God. When the War God heard the footsteps, he immediately asked, "Do you want me to do the global operation?"

I nodded. "Start now."

"Understand. When I run global data retrieval, I will cut off all connections for a few minutes. You have to wait for me for a while."

"I see."

The God of War closed his eyes immediately when he heard my answer. In reality, various indicator lights on the entity of the God of War in the laboratory began to flash wildly, and the power consumption of the power connected to the laboratory instantly increased by more than ten times. The God of War opened his eyes and turned around. I looked at him and asked, "Have you discovered it?"

The War God nodded. "But it's only a little bit, and it seems unlikely. I just thought about it and it seems that there is only a problem here."

"Tell me."

"I just searched all the information in the mainland during the incident, and then found a few differences." The War God was talking as two screenshots suddenly appeared on the crystal screen in front of me. The War God continued: "These two photos are from the transnational teleportation array of Tianyu City and Aisinger. Look at the difference between the transport vehicles in these two photos?"

I walked to the image and looked carefully for a long time, and then suddenly discovered the so-called difference between the War God. "I understand. Things were lost during the teleportation."

"Although my guess is the same as you, I can't understand why this is. Since you have found out the problem, you should have noticed what I said."

I nodded. "The bending rate of the shock-absorbing spring when the vehicle entered the teleportation array in Tianyu City is about 5% higher than that after reaching Aisinger, which means that the weight of the vehicle in Tianyu City and Aisinger's teleportation array is different. The reason for the spring is relaxed is that the cargo is gone, so the body of the vehicle becomes lighter, which causes the spring to lift the body up. However, the magic crystal itself is not very heavy, and not many are transported on the vehicle, so the escort site does not notice the change in weight."

"Correct." The War God showed several more photos. "The ones on the left are the ruts before the vehicles entered Tianyu City, and the one on the right is the mark left by one of the cars accidentally pressing on the flower bed after they arrived in Aisinger. They prove our speculation again."

I also continued with certainty: "That's right. Although the rut that Aisinger seems to be deeper. However, Aisinger is all stone-like, and the place where he is pressed to the ground is a flower bed. It is extremely soft and loose soil, which is definitely different from the soil on the roads that have been crushed many times. Calculate the relative hardness and elastic deformation rate of the two, you can calculate the weight of the vehicle."

The God of War followed and said, "I have sent someone to take soil samples from both places and tested it, and the results have proved to be the same as our speculation. The weight of the vehicle was no longer right when I was Aisinger."

"That means that the vehicle is still loading the goods when it starts to transport, but the things on the vehicle are no longer there when the transport is over. But who can steal during this transmission? By the way, time. Is there a time record?"

"I have checked it. The goods only last thirty-five seconds from the beginning to the end of the transport. The trucks can be seen in the first and second ten seconds, which means that the vehicle has left our surveillance in the middle. But the goods should be in the teleportation state during this period. I really don't know who can steal things in this state."

"Have you checked that this time is normal? How long does it take for normal transmission to be normal?"

"It's five seconds shorter than this time. Under normal circumstances, the image of the cargo in the first ten seconds of the teleportation array will gradually become blurred, and then disappear at the tenth second. After ten seconds, the image of the cargo will appear on the teleportation array received, which will gradually become clear and fully manifested in ten seconds. The whole process has three parts, each part has ten seconds. I did ten experiments, and the time is all the same, with an accuracy of more than one thousandth of a second, but this time it took thirty-five seconds. As for the reason, it's hard to say."

I nodded. "I remember there is a law that says that when you eliminate all possibilities, no matter what the rest is, it must be the truth. Although I can't understand who can accurately steal items in teleportation within five seconds, since all possibilities point to it, there will be no mistakes. The question we need to think about now is how to find this person. Although this loss of Earth Magic Crystal is precious, it is not indispensable. I just don't want similar events to happen again. This situation of being asked by others at will but being powerlessly allowed me to endure things!"

"Do you know what is the best way to deal with such a headless case?" The God of War suddenly asked me.

I shook my head: "I don't know. But don't tell me that I'm preparing something for others to steal. Even if the other party is so greedy that I'm going to commit crimes against the wind, I don't feel that there is a way to track down the enemy's position. Since it's a hand and foot move during teleportation, it may be any teleportation point in the world. The Tianyu City is a transnational teleportation array, and there is no teleportation point that it can't connect to!"

The War God also shook his head: "Of course I won't think of this method. Any thief with a little brain can figure it out. Besides, the first thing they did after doing this should be to disappear and observe our reaction. If they make sure there is no problem, they will start again, otherwise they will not take action."

"So what is your opinion?"

"My opinion is to use the intelligence network of our guild to check from the direction of shipment. The colorful magic crystal is not an ordinary product. In "Zero", it is like the uranium ore displayed. Everyone knows the preciousness of uranium ore, but it is not used by all countries. The same is true here. Generally, small guilds do not use the colorful magic crystal at all, and even large guilds may not have corresponding extraction technology."

"So what you mean is to keep an eye on those guilds that can use the guilds of the colorful magic crystal. Since the thief has stole this thing, he must find a way to ship it. Those who will buy these guilds must be among these big guilds, or even one of them will take the lead."

"correct."

I nodded. "Then I understand, you should start the guild's lurking intelligence network immediately. I want to check all the transaction records we can find immediately. Also, contact the Iron Crusaders as soon as possible and ask them to check it out too. In Europe, their intelligence network should be more open than ours, after all, that is their nest!"

"I'm already in contact." While talking to me, the God of War was contacting the Iron Crusaders and issued a search order to the spies from all over the country. I could only go offline to teach Jian Fan and others to be familiar with their new bodies. However, the God of War was speeding that I expected to be fast. In just three hours, I was called on the line again.

"What's the situation?" I immediately asked the military god as soon as I went online.

"It's all here, look at it yourself." The God of War handed me a piece of crystal. I took it to the monitor next to it and inserted it and searched it. There were quite a lot of information recorded in the crystal, but it was all information processed by the God of War, so it was very clear. The structured relationship could be seen at a glance. I just simply looked through it and figured out the entire content. "It seems that there is a guild that is not afraid of death!"

"There is nothing strange about humans killing money and birds killing food and eating." The God of War threw a piece of crystal at will.

I took it. "What is this?"

"Don't you want to know the enemy's specialty?"

"You've even checked this?"

"Did you forget what I am? Collecting enemy intelligence to provide comprehensive and complete information to your own soldiers is my main job. If you can't even do this, I'm not going to be scrapped?"

"I understand, I'll deal with it now."

——Tianyu City France export after half an hour—

Since the Frost Rose Alliance opened the direct teleportation array service service from France to China, guilds that need to go to China will consider going here. Although the charges for cross-border teleportation arrays are not cheap, they are always much more cost-effective than running over them, so no one cares too much about those costs.

Cervantes is such a French player. He is the president of a small guild. He is going to China because he has something to do, so he came here to borrow the teleportation array today. This is not the first time he has been sitting in this teleportation array, and he can be said to be a regular here. However, today he saw a strange event that he had never seen before. Just as Cervantes walked outside the city to prepare to enter the city, he suddenly heard a thud, and it felt like a very heavy thing hit the ground. After this loud noise, the roar of machines suddenly came from behind the city gate, and amid a huge metal friction sound, Cervantes had never seen the main city gate that was opened slowly rising.

The structure of Tianyu City Dicheng Gate is three-hole, with a door hole in the middle, with a width of about 30 meters, and there is a small door about ten meters on both sides. Cervantes has come so many times, and every time he walks through the small door. The stone gate in the middle has been closed by the huge thousand-jin gate and has never been opened. But what kind of wind is blowing today? Why does the main city gate that has never been opened suddenly open?

There are many people who have the same idea as Cervantes. Most of the laymen who have passed by here have come for the first time, so they all know about it. Therefore, everyone wants to see what happened and want to open the main city gate. The hobby of watching the fun is that there are some people, and it is all curiosity at work. Pedestrians on both sides of the road stopped at the same time and looked at the main city gate. With the rumbling sound of machinery, the huge thousand-jin gate finally slowly rose. The first thing people saw were two horse hooves, but the burning flames on the hooves made everyone understand that this could not be a real horse hooves, because there would be no war horse hooves that could still stand there safely when the horse hooves caught fire.
