Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

40: recordThe Guard Team’s hall was packed with people, all expressing their opinions about what had just happened, and the noisy chatter never stopped.

Having just survived a crisis, everyone’s hearts were still pounding, and they couldn’t stop themselves from sharing their experiences.

Guard Team members wove through the crowd, instructing them to fill out the forms first.

”Hello, please fill out this form. We need to know your address and the reason for your visit. After you’ve filled it out, we’ll conduct a brief inquiry, and we hope you’ll cooperate.”

”Alright.”

Xu Bai took the form and, cooperating fully, wrote down his information. Xu Le had just eaten his fill and was asleep in his arms.

To be able to sleep through all this noise, this little guy truly has a carefree spirit.

As Xu Bai filled out the form, he pondered whether he should reveal what he had seen later.

He couldn’t help it; he had read too many novels, his mind was too active, worrying that the Guard Team might have informants among the robbers, or that it might be guild members embezzling, or even a foreign country’s conspiracy. Okay, that last one was a bit far-fetched.

However, the very real concern was that the form contained his address. If not all the robbers were caught afterward and they sought revenge, his scrawny arms and legs wouldn’t be able to fight them off.

But then, wouldn’t it be too selfish not to say anything? As a good citizen, since he had discovered something, Xu Bai still wanted to do something.

He wondered if there was another way. Xu Bai looked around.

Just then, Xu Bai saw the captain who had led them on the street earlier. This person should be the one with the most authority here, right?

Seeing his decisive action in shooting and killing a robber just now, he shouldn’t be in league with them.

An idea flashed in Xu Bai’s mind.

”Hey, Big Brother, you moved here? Do you still remember me? I’m Little Bai, your former neighbor.”

Xu Bai greeted the other person.

Meng Zhong glanced at Xu Bai, sensing that Xu Bai might have some clues, and quickly responded: ”It’s you, Little Bai. It’s been two years. You were also near where the incident happened, right? Go ahead and fill out the form. I’ll be questioning everyone one by one to understand the situation. Take your time filling it out, and don’t worry, once we understand the situation, if there are no issues, you can leave. We should grab a drink sometime when you’re free.”

”Okay, Big Brother.”

Indeed, no one who can become a team leader in the system is foolish.

The long exchange above required careful interpretation.

First, the other person accepted his greeting and acknowledged the identity Xu Bai assigned him, proving Xu Bai wasn’t lying and avoiding drawing attention from other team members.

Then, he said he would question everyone one by one to understand the situation. This set up a private inquiry later, telling Xu Bai that if he had anything to say, he should tell him during the questioning. At the same time, he didn’t directly question him first, so it wouldn’t seem too abrupt.

After that, he told Xu Bai to take his time filling it out. This was meant for the other people in the hall, letting them know he wasn’t abusing his authority for someone he knew, so others who weren’t recognized should dutifully fill out their information, with no exceptions.

Finally, he reassured everyone. On one hand, it was to calm the others, and on the other, it was to tell Xu Bai, ’Don’t worry, I know you’re concerned about your safety. Rest assured, I’ll handle it and make sure nothing happens to you, so feel free to tell me what you know then.’

After interpreting this exchange, Xu Bai felt much more at ease.

He continued filling out the form in his hand.
