Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 241 Kato Junkazu, do you know anything about something that attacks players at night?

The room where Kato Junwa was located was about the same size and style as the first room Li Zheng entered on the first day, and could only accommodate two capsule residences.

Once Kato Junkazu's statue was placed in the center, there was no room for a second one to be placed on either side.

"If William had chosen to rest in a room like this, perhaps he wouldn't have died such a miserable death?"

After Li Zheng took a clear look at the room, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Actually, he only wanted to teach that foreigner a lesson at first. If William had come out of his residence and been beaten up by him to vent his anger, perhaps he wouldn't have died so mysteriously.

They might not even die.

Li Zheng really didn't expect that the foreigner could survive until death in the toxic smoke.

If a person discovers that there is poison in the smoke, shouldn't they leave that enclosed environment?

Therefore, in Li Zheng's view, his death should be considered an accident.

It might sound disgusting, but William was really killed by Li Zheng by mistake.

Although being killed as a red-named player is not something to be pitied.

Li Zheng wouldn't feel any guilt about dying.

[Familiar scene, familiar taste, shall we do something?]

Old Pu suddenly gave a somewhat inexplicable hint, and Li Zheng frowned slightly. He also felt a sense of familiarity in the room.

"Awoo?" Sakura sniffed, showing a look of disgust, as if something here made it feel repulsed.

The three consecutive unusual states caught Li Zheng's attention. He took out his sheathed sword, held it in his hand, and gently knocked on the closed door of his residence with the end of a long stick.

Boom!Boom!
The crisp yet slightly dull tapping sound filled the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat oppressive.

"Who?"

Accompanied by a mumbled phrase, the door to the capsule dwelling was opened a crack, revealing a bloodshot eye behind it.

【Kato Junkazu (6)】

When Lao Pu sent a notification, Li Zheng's heart sank slightly; this was a player with a red name!
"Kato Junwa? We've done business together before, you should recognize me, right?" Li Zhengwei took two steps back almost imperceptibly. He couldn't trust any of the red-named players, especially since the other party had killed more than one person.

“Li Zheng, of course I recognize you.” Kato Junkazu’s tone revealed a hint of nervousness. “What do you want from me?”

Li Zheng frowned even more deeply because he saw that in the attributes given by Lao Pu, Kato Junwa was marked as "extremely tired" in the status column.

If you were an ordinary person, you might feel exhausted after a whole day of exploring the matrix and staying up until midnight.

However, at this stage, almost all players have received some form of enhancement, not to mention players like Kato Junkazu who have a certain status; their enhancements should be no worse than those of the top 50 players on the power ranking.

Why do you look tired?
Moreover, it is a deeper level of "extreme fatigue".

Unless he hasn't had a proper rest for two days.

Could it be that in addition to exploring during the day, he also has to work through the night to organize the intelligence gathered by others?
Li Zheng slowly began, "Gangmen Pianzuo said you're his superior, managing many spies, so you must have a lot of information he doesn't know, right?" "That's true." Kato Jun's bloodshot eyes trembled, and his voice was somewhat hoarse: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised by the other party's attitude.

Logically, shouldn't this painstakingly collected intelligence be classified?

Why does the other person seem so open and honest?
Is it because they are afraid of their own strength that they dare not resist?
“Gangmenpianzuo died. As his superior, shouldn’t he have told you who killed him before he died?” Li Zheng was going to ask some basic questions first to see if the other party was honest.

"The gate is slightly to the left?" Kato Junwa's hoarse voice sounded somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't expected Li Zheng to ask this question.

He paused for a moment and said, "His death was very sudden. I only found out about his death the next day when I couldn't contact him. I also didn't receive any information about the murderer that he sent before he died."

"Is that so?" Li Zheng nodded, seemingly accepting this explanation, and then asked, "I've been attacked by the same thing twice these past two nights, and I suspect it's the work of a certain player. Do you have any relevant information?"

"Nighttime? Players?" Kato Jun'ichi repeated the keywords, seemingly recalling the information he had: "Could you describe in detail the appearance of the thing that attacked you?"

"It was too dark to see clearly, but I know the other person was very fast and agile," Li Zheng said.

"Fast and agile." Kato Junwa repeated the key words again, and said hesitantly, "It should be Misaka Tsuchimon from channel 67. I have a subordinate on that channel. Once, he let slip in the regional channel that he had obtained an item that can summon nocturnal monsters at night."

"Misaka Tsuchimon, right?" Li Zheng remembered the name and then asked, "Do you have any more information about this person?"

"Yes!" Kato Junwa replied without hesitation, "Misaka Tsuchimon's father was a minister in Takamagahara, Muddy Country. Although he didn't join the Matrix because of his age, Misaka Tsuchimon still managed to gain a decent position in the Matrix's Takamagahara organization thanks to his father's prestige, and he received quite a few benefits."

"In Channel 67, he ranks third in combat power. It is said that they have been searching for some special existence in that channel."

"I don't know exactly what they're looking for."

"However, if you go to find him, you'd better be careful. I heard that he was a kendo enthusiast when he was on Earth. He studied kendo for five years under the Japanese kendo master Yagyu Kengo and was highly favored by Yagyu."

Li Zheng listened very attentively, as if he was really trying to remember the information that Kato Junkazu had given him.

After Kato Junkazu finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "As spies, you must have been trained on how to lie most naturally if you are caught, right?"

"Lying? Getting arrested?" Kato Junwa was stunned. He didn't understand why Li Zheng was suddenly asking these questions.

Li Zheng gave him an example: "Look, for instance, if you are arrested while you are undercover, and they ask you if you are a spy, you will definitely deny it, right?"

"So if you're going to deny it, you'll have to lie, right?"

"So, shouldn't you spies get some training on how to lie?"

Li Zheng acted like an ordinary person curious about spies, asking questions so naive that Kato Junkazu couldn't help but laugh.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Kato Junwa had already underestimated Li Zheng to some extent, feeling that his overly cautious behavior over the past two days was completely unnecessary.

His tone became much lighter, and he replied perfunctorily, "Yes, our organization does have training courses in this area. If you're interested, I can teach you some later."

"Oh. Is that so..." Li Zheng smiled, a smile like that of an innocent young man.

But what he said next chilled Kato Jun's heart.
