EBE Chapter 1003 Accident
Chapter 1003 Accident
More than a dozen big men roared, waved their weapons, and surrounded Xu Mo from all directions!
The air froze instantly, and a fierce battle was about to break out!
Xu Mo took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely sharp. He knew that tonight, things might get serious!
He suddenly ducked his body to avoid the knife that was coming at him on the head. At the same time, his body spun like a top and he kicked a swift whip-kick at the lower body of a big man next to him!
"Crack!" The sound of bone fractures could be clearly heard! The big man screamed and fell down holding his leg!
Xu Mo's movements were smooth and without any delay! He used his flexible body to shuttle through the crowd, and every move was accurate and deadly! Fists, feet, elbows, knees, every part of his body turned into the most powerful weapon!
Those seemingly fierce men were like chickens and dogs in front of him. They were knocked to the ground one after another, wailing incessantly!
"Is... is this guy a monster?!" The bald man with a scar was stunned. All his brothers were good fighters, but they were knocked down by this guy in just one encounter!
Xu Mo's eyes became colder and colder. Every time he knocked down a person, his momentum became stronger. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a real god of war, exuding a terrifying murderous aura!
He didn't kill his opponent, but each of his strikes was just right to make his opponent lose his fighting power.
Soon, more than half of the dozen or so big men fell down, and the remaining few were so frightened that they dared not move forward.
The scarred bald man's face turned pale, he realized that he had hit a wall! This kid's skills were simply inhuman!
"You... who are you?!" he asked in a timid tone.
Xu Mo approached step by step, his eyes like a cold blade: "I should be the one asking you this question. Who ordered you to attack a professional e-sports player?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable sense of oppression.
At this moment, a burst of urgent sirens came from far away!
The scarred bald man's face changed, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer! He glared at Xu Mo fiercely: "Boy, you wait! This matter is not over yet!"
After saying that, he called on his men who were still able to move, and they rolled and crawled onto the remaining off-road vehicles and fled in panic! The van with a flat tire and the few unlucky people inside were ruthlessly abandoned by them.
Xu Mo did not chase them. He knew that there must be a bigger force behind these people. Moreover, the police came and some things needed to be explained.
He calmly watched the police car stop and several policemen get out.
"What happened here? Someone called the police to report that a fight broke out here!" The leading middle-aged policeman glanced at the scene sharply. When he saw the people lying on the ground and the crashed van, his face became solemn.
Xu Mo took the initiative to greet them: "Comrade police, I was attacked just now, and these people are the attackers."
He succinctly recounted what had happened. Of course, he only glossed over the details of how he had taken down a dozen armed men by himself, saying only that it was self-defense.
The police looked at Xu Mo's elegant and gentle appearance, and then looked at the wailing strong men on the ground, and their faces showed disbelief. But the traces at the scene and the abandoned attackers also confirmed Xu Mo's words.
"We will take these people back for investigation. Please come back to the police station with us to make a statement." said the middle-aged policeman.
"Okay, I'll cooperate." Xu Mo nodded.
Just as Xu Mo was about to get into the police car, his cell phone vibrated again.
It is very rare.
"Mo Shen, I just saw a news pop-up saying that an armed attack occurred near your base. Are you okay?! I'm worried!" The message was followed by an anxious expression.
Xu Mo felt warm in his heart. He could imagine Xiran's anxious look when he saw the news.
He quickly responded: "I'm fine, it was just a minor accident, it's been resolved. Don't worry."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Thank you for your concern."
Putting down his phone, Xu Mo's eyes became deep again. Tonight's attack was no accident. The LPL finals were approaching, RNG was the favorite to win, and as the core of the team, he naturally became a thorn in the eyes of some people. What kind of conflict of interest was involved behind this?
He knows that there may be hidden undercurrents in the peaceful e-sports circle. But no matter what, he will not back down. Any obstacles that try to stop him will be crushed by him one by one!
The night wind was getting colder, and the flashing red and blue lights made the area look a little weird. Xu Mo calmly cooperated with the "uniformed personnel" who came to handle the incident to complete the initial questioning. The attackers he had knocked down, including the unlucky ones in the van, were taken away one by one.
"Mr. Xu, based on the clues you provided and the situation at the scene, we will conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter. Don't worry, we will give you an explanation." The experienced "uniform officer" in the lead said to Xu Mo, with a hint of subtle surprise and admiration in his eyes. He had handled many fights, but he had never heard of someone like Xu Mo, who subdued a dozen armed thugs without any injury. If he hadn't seen the embarrassed attackers with his own eyes, he would almost doubt whether this was a plot from a movie.
"Thank you for your help." Xu Mo nodded politely. He knew that there must be a deeper power behind these people, and relying solely on the power of "uniformed personnel" might not be able to dig out the real mastermind. But now he can only wait and see.
It was late at night when they returned to the base. Uzi and his friends had a great time singing karaoke and were shocked to see some traces of chaos and the faint sound of wind downstairs.
"Mozi! Are you okay?! I heard something happened downstairs just now?" Uzi asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door, with concern on his face.
"I'm fine, just a little trouble that has been solved." Xu Mo didn't want to make them worry, so he said lightly.
"A small trouble? I heard from the security guard that there seemed to be quite a big commotion and someone was injured?" Xiaohu asked.
"They were some short-sighted hooligans who wanted to cause some trouble, but I sent them away." Xu Mo's tone was still calm, as if he had just shooed away a few flies.
Karsa and Ming looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew Xu Mo's character, and if it was really a "little trouble", he would not have such an expression. But since Xu Mo didn't want to say more, they stopped asking questions and secretly decided to pay more attention to the situation around them.
That night, Xu Mo lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. The scene of the attack tonight kept replaying in his mind. The poisoned crossbow arrows and those fierce thugs all showed the enemy's viciousness and unscrupulous means.
"Who is it?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed coldly in the darkness.
The first thing he thought of was the underground forces who lost a lot of money on gambling websites because of RNG's victory. The huge stakes in e-sports competitions are enough to make people take risks.
Secondly, it is also possible that some rival clubs took extreme measures to prevent RNG from winning the championship. Although this possibility is low, because once it is exposed, it will be a devastating blow to the reputation of the entire club and LPL, but people's hearts are unpredictable and we have to guard against them.
He even thought of a deeper possibility, perhaps involving some huge interest groups that he was not aware of. After all, his current influence and commercial value in the e-sports circle were enough to arouse the covetousness or fear of some people.
"It seems that things won't be too peaceful before the finals." Xu Mo said to himself. He knew that he had to be more cautious.
He stood up and took out a small black metal box from the drawer. He opened the box and found several silver needles of strange shapes lying quietly inside, as well as some small tools that he would not show to others easily. These were some "self-defense skills" and "self-protection methods" that he had learned from a hermit master since he was a child. He thought that they would hardly be useful in peacetime, but he did not expect that they would almost save his life today.
He checked the tools to make sure they were in the best condition. Then, he began to set up some inconspicuous little mechanisms in the room. Although these mechanisms were simple, they might play an unexpected role at a critical moment.
After doing all this, he lay down again, closed his eyes, and forced himself into a light sleep while remaining highly alert.
At the same time, in a luxurious club on the other side of the city.
A gloomy middle-aged man was listening to his subordinates' reports. When he heard that the people he sent out not only failed in their mission, but were almost wiped out, and even the "Crossbow Plan" failed, he suddenly pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, and a trace of violence flashed in his eyes.
"Useless! A bunch of useless! You can't even handle a gamer!" he roared in a low voice.
"Boss, that kid...that kid is too weird! His skills are simply not like those of a human! More than a dozen of us brothers are no match for him!" said a subordinate who managed to escape with lingering fear.
"Weird?" The middle-aged man sneered, "I don't care how weird he is! The LPL finals are about to begin. If RNG wins, we will suffer huge losses. You know it! I don't care what method you use, you must prevent him from playing before the finals! Or, make him disappear forever!"
"Yes! Boss!" The subordinates were silent.
The middle-aged man looked at the night view outside the window with sinister eyes, muttering to himself: "Xu Mo...you'd better not become a stumbling block to my plan..."
The next morning, RNG players practiced as usual. Xu Mo was as calm as ever, as if the attack last night had never happened. But his sharp teammates noticed something different. Xu Mo's eyes seemed sharper, and his concentration during training reached an unprecedented level.
During the break between games, Uzi couldn't help but ask, "Mozi, were you really okay last night? I saw that you seemed... a little murderous today."
Xu Mo smiled faintly: "Maybe I want to win the finals too much."
Coach Heart also noticed Xu Mo's abnormality. He called Xu Mo aside and asked in a low voice: "Mozi, is there something wrong? If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell the club and we will do our best to help you solve it."
Xu Mo looked at Coach Heart's concerned eyes and felt warm in his heart. He knew that RNG was not just a team, but more like a family.
"Coach, don't worry, I can handle it. We will definitely win the final." Xu Mo's tone was full of confidence.
After the training, Xu Mo did not go back to the dormitory directly as usual, but went to the security room of the base.
"Captain Li, please pull up all the surveillance videos around the base last night. I want to take a look." Xu Mo said to the security team leader.
Captain Li knew Xu Mo's position in the club and had heard about what happened last night, so he immediately cooperated and checked the surveillance footage.
Xu Mo carefully checked every surveillance video, especially the time period before and after the attack. He found that the van that caused the accident and several off-road vehicles that followed had been wandering around the base half an hour before the attack, which was obviously premeditated. Moreover, their route was very strange, and they seemed to deliberately avoid some major surveillance cameras.
"These people are very professional." Xu Mo said in his heart.
He saved several key screenshots and planned to do further analysis himself.
Just as he was about to leave the security room, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Mo?" A low and slightly hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know you were in trouble last night, and I know who is targeting you."
Xu Mo's pupils shrank slightly: "What is your purpose?"
The man on the other end of the phone chuckled. "Purpose? I just want to make a deal with you. I can help you solve those troubles and even help you find out who is behind it. In exchange, I need you to...lose the game in the LPL finals."
Xu Mo's eyes turned cold in an instant: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Xu, I'm just offering a win-win solution. Think about it, is your safety more important, or is winning a championship? Also, if you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee that those people will do something crazier next time. For example, targeting your teammates, or...your beautiful female host friend?"
The man's voice was filled with naked threats.
Xu Mo's hand holding the phone had veins bulging slightly. What he hated most was being threatened by people around him!
"Don't even think about it!" Xu Mo's voice was like ice.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, don't refuse so quickly. I'll give you a day to think about it. I'll contact you again at this time tomorrow. I hope you can make a wise choice."
After saying that, the man hung up the phone.
Xu Mo looked at the black phone screen, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.
These people actually set their sights on Xiran and his teammates! This has touched his bottom line!
"It seems that we can't wait passively any longer." Xu Mo took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He dialed a number he hadn't contacted for a long time.
After the call was connected, he only said one sentence: "Old Ghost, I need your help. Check some people, and help me prepare some 'things'." (End of this chapter)
