Chapter 341 The Brain is Cooked

"Then let them in," Han Che put down his teacup, sat up straight in his chair, and straightened his coat collar. "Ask them what they want, and we can settle everything at once."

Xiao Bai turned his head and said, "Mule, go to the door and invite the people from the Dragon Soaring Club and Phoenix Cry Club in. Tell them we are ready."

The mule responded and walked out of the meeting room.

A moment later, footsteps came from outside the door. "Please come in, please come in, this way."

Then, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Mule was the first to step in sideways, standing by the door to block the door frame for the people behind him.

The group filed in through the door and entered the conference room one by one.

Han Che remained seated in his chair, but his gaze swept across the room as he mentally counted seven or eight people who had entered. The conference room space suddenly felt much more cramped.

"Please make yourselves at home," Xiaobai said, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

He recognized a few people from Longteng, all of whom had appeared with Li Hao before: Jiang Chi and Chen Xiaoxun.

At the Phoenix Cry Club, Han Che didn't recognize a single person.

Moreover, besides those who looked like operators, there were also those who were clearly civilian staff.

Han Che now knows that Xiao Bai has a special identity, but it seems that neither the club's staff nor the administrative staff recognize Xiao Bai.

It seems that Xiao Bai did a very good job of keeping it a secret; Li Hao should be the only one present who knows Xiao Bai's identity.

Once everyone was seated, Xiaobai sat down at the head of the conference table, crossed her arms on the table, and leaned forward slightly.

"Everyone, Han Che has returned to the club. Qi Yuzhe has some matters to attend to and won't be able to rejoin the team for the next few days. If you need anything, please discuss it here first."

The people from Longteng and Fengming exchanged glances. Han Che noticed that although the people from the two clubs were seated on opposite sides of the table, he could sense a subtle unspoken understanding in the air.

They had clearly communicated beforehand; the two office workers, both dressed in suits, exchanged a brief glance across the table.

Fengming spoke first, "Boss Xiaobai, Mr. Han Che, our two clubs hope to cooperate with you and Mr. Qi to play against Said again."

"Fight Saeed? Why don't you go yourselves? What are you asking us to do?"

Han Che frowned. He thought that Longteng and Fengming were asking him to take over the map boss because they felt they had never defeated it before, so they could gain some fame and a better reputation in the outside world.

Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that this Said can beat small clubs like 78 Club, but can't beat top clubs.

"You don't know this," one of the men in a suit said, then paused, looked around at the others, and continued after receiving a nod.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Wang Chengming, the branch manager of Fengming Club."

"As you all know, without being immodest, the medical facilities at Fengming Club are top-notch in the country."

This was the first time Han Che had heard of this, and he tilted his head slightly to look at the reactions of the others.

No one in the meeting room showed any sign of doubt, which suggests that this is a generally accepted fact within the industry.

In fact, Dragon Soar Club excels in scientific research, while Phoenix Cry Club excels in the medical field. This is common knowledge in the Dragon Kingdom of the player world.

Wang Chengming didn't linger on this point and immediately changed the subject.

"During your battle at Dam Zero last time, Mr. Han, two players came out unconscious and were rushed to our club's First Hospital for emergency treatment. However, they were unable to be saved and were declared brain dead."

"What you may not know is that such cases have been frequently reported in medical reports both domestically and internationally recently."

"Some players have died in dangerous areas and then respawned with various brain abnormalities. The symptoms are different, but they are all related to damage to the nervous system."

"Even players who successfully evacuated have reported similar cases, although the proportion is lower, it does exist."

"We believe this is extremely abnormal. There have been some similar cases in China, but the differences between these two individuals are even more pronounced."

"We performed autopsies on both of them and found that their brain tissue was almost in a semi-coagulated state..."

"Semi-solidified?" Han Che frowned. Although he didn't understand medicine, the name itself didn't sound like a good thing.

Supervisor Wang gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "To put it nicely, it's heatstroke; to put it bluntly, it's like being overcooked..."

Han Che remained silent for a moment, then immediately understood what Manager Wang meant.

He quickly identified which two people Wang Chengming was referring to, but he couldn't voice his guess directly.

"We want to know," Wang Chengming brought the topic back, "was there anything unusual inside Dam Zero at the time? Did these two players exhibit any unusual behavior?"

Han Che moved forward a bit, resting his elbows on the table. "Do you guys know which team we played against?"

Wang Chengming shook his head. "We took the live stream video and went to question each of these clown gang members who had already been detained, but they were very tight-lipped and refused to give anything."

"Those people have been detained?" Han Che raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Wang Chengming nodded. "We detained them temporarily on the grounds that they were endangering public order."

"Most of them are of Chinese nationality or of mixed Chinese descent, but their registered residence is in the United States."

"Because there is no direct evidence to prove that they were deliberately detained by the United States, they can only be detained for the time being as a general public security case."

"But the US has already put pressure on our officials, saying that there is no reasonable grounds to detain their citizens and that these people will be released back to the US in a few days."

Han Che could understand this situation. Many things that happen inside dangerous areas lack solid legal basis for characterization, since the place itself is not within the normal jurisdiction of the judiciary.

The Joker gang went in and fought a battle, but lost. Apart from a few who died, the survivors were arrested after they came out, but no substantial evidence could be found against them. With the pressure from the United States, the Chinese government did not have a strong reason to continue detaining people.

"They all wear helmets when they fight, so it's hard for me to recognize faces. Besides, many people's heads were smashed, so I have even less of an impression..." Han Che explained.

Supervisor Wang was certainly aware of this, since they had already done video comparison work, and it was indeed not easy to identify.

Han Che was now certain that the two brain-dead players were most likely the two well-equipped players that he and Qi Yuzhe had killed together in the end.
