This was something that no one had expected, including the players who were facing the crime scene in the southeast corner.
The base hall is crowded with people coming and going, but most people won't stay here for a long time. Everyone goes to do dungeons, and those who don't go to dungeons go home. Unless you want to find guides or read forums, why would you stay in the base hall
Therefore, when a person who had been staying here for two or three days appeared in the lobby of the base, it was discussed on the forum.
The main thing is that this person's dress is really unique.
Male, long hair, red robe.
He stood there with his back straight, as motionless as a sculpture, without even taking a break, just standing there for such a long time, causing people on the forum to speculate whether this was another performance art by the members of the Death God Guild.
The hall has been bustling with people these past two days. Many players would go around to the southeast corner to take a look at this famous landscape before going to the next level. Now that the clearance activity is about to begin, some players also come to pay their respects.
This is the case with the player who was killed.
There were six of them, all players from the same guild. After arriving at the base lobby, they found that Jie Fangcheng and his gang had not come out yet, so the six of them strolled from the northwest corner to the southeast corner, wanting to see what was going on with this new star among the players.
When they reached the southeast corner, they actually saw this legendary sculpture.
Not only did they see it, but the man who had been standing still like a sculpture suddenly turned around and looked at one of the six people after they got nearby.
"Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Do you know me?"
As he spoke, he looked at the person in front of him seriously.
I have to say, this guy looks a bit eerie, his face is as pale as a dead person. If I had seen this guy before, I would not have forgotten him...
The long-haired man with a deathly pale face in front of him suddenly took two steps forward, stretched out his long arms, grabbed Zhang Yu's neck, and lifted him up from the ground.
The incident happened so suddenly that it was not until Zhang Yu screamed that his companions came to their senses and attacked him with weapons in hand.
"Who the hell is this guy? Zhang Yu! How are you?"
"Let go! Do you want to die?"
"Just beat him to death! How dare he attack our Goldfish Guild members!"
Amid the noise, attacks came from all directions, and the unarmed man standing in the encirclement simply stretched out his other hand.
The hand was pale and slender, but it blocked all attacks like an indestructible wall of steel.
Zhang Yu, who was being strangled by him, struggled frantically, but the hand that was strangling him seemed to be made of iron, and it slowly tightened without moving.
The person who was strangling him just stared at him calmly.
"Zhang Yu, when he was 21, had an argument with his parents over internet fees. He harbored hatred for his parents and killed them after drinking. A neighbor's child saw him killing them, so he abducted the child and buried him alive in the woods."
Zhang Yu, who was struggling, was stunned for a moment, and then struggled even more violently.
"Who... ahem, who are you?!"
He never got the answer in the end.
The man who was choking him confirmed his identity and used relentless force.
With a click.
The man who was alive and kicking in the last second was strangled to death in the next second. The long-haired man put Zhang Yu's body on the ground, his expression still calm.
The onlookers around had already stepped back, not knowing what had happened all of a sudden.
But the player who was Zhang Yu's companion had already rushed up again with weapons in hand, angrily, and was even calling out to other players in the guild.
"Shit! Someone inexplicably killed Brother Yu!... In what dungeon? Not in a dungeon! Right in the game lobby!"
"Quickly inform the president! Someone is provoking our union! Send someone here quickly!"
"Zhang Yu! Who the hell are you?"
The person who was attacked remained calm. In his eyes, the weapons of the people around him were just like lollipops in the hands of children. He opened his arms and faced the attacks of the five people around him. With just a light move, the weapons passed from the five people's hands into his hands one after another.
"Grass!"
Who is this person
Zhang Yu and his friends are not big names on the leaderboard. Their strength is quite average and they can only play level 2 and 3 dungeons normally.
But lack of strength does not mean lack of brains.
The man in front of him strangled Zhang Yu to death with such ease. So many people attacked him with weapons - because they had never won the ranking rewards of the national copy, they could not use skills in the player lobby, so they really had no attack power.
But even so, there are five of them after all!
This kid... Is this kid some powerful person
The five people and Zhang Yu were just fellow players. Zhang Yu was already dead, so they would not fight to the death with the man in front of them for a dead person.
So it was very strange that such a murder had clearly occurred in the southeast corner, but soon the place became quiet again, with only a corpse on the ground and a bunch of faces with different expressions around it.
Many people were whispering, but since this murderer was so vicious, no one dared to say anything loudly.
The man who killed a player still stood there quietly, with no intention of escaping.
The Goldfish Union is also one of the top 20 unions. Soon after the five people made their speeches on the union channel, someone really arrived at the scene with a large group of more than ten people.
When one of the five saw the leader, his eyes lit up immediately: "Vice President!"
After the Goldfish Guild gathered together, the five of them immediately recounted what had just happened, emphasizing that they were just passing by and no one expected the long-haired man to suddenly take action.
The vice president listened with a frown, then turned and walked up to the man in red robe.
"Brother, do you have a grudge against Zhang Yu?"
He also knew Zhang Yu, a guy who was usually quite honest and didn't seem like the type to make enemies with anyone in the dungeon.
This red-robed man inexplicably killed his own guild members. If there is no explanation for this matter, it is obvious that they cannot let it go! Otherwise, what will become of their Goldfish Guild
This guy doesn't look familiar. He shouldn't be at the top of the player leaderboard, right? How could he kill Zhang Yu so easily
The vice president was still thinking, and the person he was questioning said nothing, but just stared at the other player next to him again.
"Liu Yi?"
A player named Liu Yi was also passing by to watch the fun. He arrived early and watched the whole process of how the long-haired man suddenly attacked and killed people.
At this time, the man in the long robe was staring at him again. Liu Yi's heart was pounding. He took two steps back and looked at him vigilantly.
"what?"
The next second, Zhang Yu's incident happened again.
The robed man was extremely fast, rushing to his side in two steps with his arms outstretched.
But Liu Yi is not a small player like Zhang Yu. He is a high-level player who can rank among the top 200 players.
He roared loudly, and a ghost-head knife burning with ghost-blue ghost fire suddenly appeared in his hand. Ghost fire nearly two meters long also emerged from his body, and he slashed at the man in front of him.
Liu Yi exploded suddenly, and a player beside him was unable to dodge and was touched by the will-o'-the-wisp. The blue will-o'-the-wisp burned quickly as if it had vitality. The person who was touched rolled on the ground screaming, and only saved his life when a nearby player who was also on the leaderboard used a skill to extinguish the flames.
On the other side, Liu Yi's knife burning with blue flames was caught by the red-robed man's right hand.
The blue flames also spread towards him, but there seemed to be a protective film on the surface of his body. The flames flowed through his body like water, but quickly extinguished.
Still strangling the neck.
"Liu Yi, trafficked six children and caused the deaths of three of them during his escape."
He spoke slowly, and used force with his fingers—
But the Liu Yi in front of him was definitely not comparable to a player like Zhang Yu.
Suddenly, the body in his hand suddenly disintegrated like a flame made of glass, shattered into pieces and fell to the ground, quickly fleeing from the feet of the surrounding players, and only gathered together again about ten meters away from the red-robed man, and turned into Liu Yi's appearance again.
Liu Yi had never had such a bizarre life-and-death experience before. After he turned into a human form again, he looked back in panic and fear.
Over there, the long-haired man saw him, lifted his robe, and rushed towards him again.
Liu Yi screamed, activated his skills and ran away desperately, and soon disappeared in the player lobby.
What he didn't see was that after chasing for a few steps, the long-haired man behind him suddenly stopped and looked at the other player again with cold eyes.
There were about 10 to 20 people standing next to the player. They were obviously small managers of a union. They came in a group.
When being stared at by the long-haired man, this man just waved his hand.
"Kill him first!"
At this time, the long-haired man not only looked at him, but also looked at another player who was also with a few people not far away.
So when Liu Guangming and his group, who were the first group to clear the [Digital Cruise], came out of the dungeon, everyone was still chatting happily and lively.
You have to know that the rewards of [Digital Cruise] are not only the three treasures carefully selected by each of them at the treasure point, but also extremely considerable points rewards. It can be said that the rewards of this copy are richer than the rewards of their previous two or three level five copies, and the experience of clearing the level is so comfortable, everyone can be as happy as they can be.
As a result, when the lively scene appeared, Liu Guangming and others all shouted "Oh my god!"
"what's the situation??"
The fighting has broken out in the player lobby!
Countless skill lights and props were used one after another, and the entire hall was shrouded in skill lights.
There's no way. This game doesn't have any team immunity or anything like that. The man in the robe is alone. If he wants to kill people, the people to be killed will inevitably rise up in resistance.
Thanks to the Chaoyang Union's help, the player lobby is very large and spacious, but no matter how large and spacious it is, it is still a bit crowded to accommodate thousands of people at once.
So, to be honest, most of the skills and props used in the struggle did not reach the man in the robe, but first reached the players next to him.
The members of the Goldfish Guild wanted revenge, the members of other guilds who were targeted wanted to resist, and the players who were watching from the sidelines and were inexplicably affected by the fish pond also wanted justice. There were also some guilds and players who had old grudges and wanted to take advantage of the situation...
It's a mess.
It's all messed up.
The entire player lobby was filled with curses and the sounds of skills hitting each other.
"You f**king Chaoge Dynasty, are you guys doing this on purpose? Damn! Come on if you dare! What's the point of playing dirty tricks?"
"Wang Yan, you bastard, you're taking advantage of the chaos to beat people up, right? Come on! If I don't kill you today, I'll take your last name!"
"Don't talk so nicely! Take away your own [Thousand Miles of Ice] first!"
The entire player lobby was like a chaotic battlefield. The originally clean and tidy lobby was now in such a mess as if it had been looted.
"what's up?"
Liu Guangming was stunned. Coincidentally, a player from their guild passed by, and Liu Guangming grabbed the player.
"Xiao Qi, what's going on?"
Xiao Qi explained anxiously: "It was originally said that there was a clean-up activity, but someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed everyone he saw!"
"Ah? Where is that murderer?" Liu Guangming stood on tiptoe to look. It seemed that there were players everywhere who would kill anyone they saw. As a result, everyone at this teleportation point was a little afraid to go out. They felt that once they went out, they would be drowned by the ocean of skills.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment when asked: "Ah..."
He was also called over temporarily: "Anyway, there is such a person... Vice President! Let's not talk too much for now, our union and the Goldfish Union are fighting! Just now, those cowards attacked and injured our union members!"
Liu Guangming immediately became furious: "Go! Take me there!"
Without saying a word, he took his team away, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
In just a short while, the remaining people quickly came out of the copy.
When everyone saw this rare melee in a century, they all exclaimed “Oh my God”.
"Clearance activities? What is that?" Someone from Ronghua who heard about it asked in confusion.
"Who knows... Never mind! People from our union are calling me too, I'll go first everyone! See you in the restaurant after the fight!"
Everyone expressed their understanding.
When Zhang Daoan came out, even he obviously did not expect such a thing to happen.
"A cleanup activity? A murderer?"
But his mind was indeed working quickly. After listening and taking a look, he quickly realized how this happened.
The newcomers to the underworld are very heroic.
Thinking of this, he quickly locked onto that unique target.
But at this moment, the man in the robe who had just judged another evil spirit suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Daoan who was also looking at him.
Soon, separated by so many skills and crowds, the man in the robe quickly rushed to the teleportation point.
He looked straight at Zhang Daoan.
"Zhang Daoan?"
Zhang Daoan took a step back calmly.
"Someone from the underworld?"
The man in the robe raised his eyebrows at the fact that he knew about the underworld, but then quickly frowned.
"how so?"
Although Zhang Daoan didn't know what he was thinking, it was obvious that the new member of the underworld in front of him was not someone like Jie Fangcheng who was reasonable and easily soft-hearted.
That's true.
The robed man suddenly reached out his hand.
"Although you have done no evil, a soul like yours that is pieced together should not exist—"
"careful!"
Nie Shuangshuang quickly pulled Zhang Daoan away.
Although Wei Yuan and the people around him couldn't figure out what was going on, they all stood in front of Zhang Daoan at this moment.
Ning Suisui stood aside with her Leopard Squad, not knowing why. Although she hated Zhang Daoan in the dungeon and tried every means to get what she wanted in the dungeon, after leaving the dungeon, she quickly stood on Ronghua's side.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Ning Suisui looked at the person in front of her with a weapon in her hand.
Under the gaze of so many people, the man in the robe still only focused on Zhang Daoan. In his eyes, all the people in front of him were like air. He stretched out his arms, as if what he was separating was not a crowd but a bunch of reeds. He easily pushed aside the crowd in front of Zhang Daoan and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Daoan again.
A flash of white light.
A huge golden sword suddenly blocked his hand, and then he swung it out reflexively—
"Huh?"
Jie Fangcheng, who had just heard the news, didn't pay any attention. He just saw someone seemed to be trying to strangle Zhang Daoan, so he quickly blocked it with his sword.
After blocking it, he really used muscle memory to straighten the blade and thrust it outwards.
With a "bang".
The man in the robe was thrown out like a kite with a broken string. He fell to the ground, rolled twice, and quickly stood up again.
When everyone in Ronghua saw Jie Fangcheng, they immediately complained to him.
"Brother Jie! You're finally here! This kid suddenly rushed over and wanted to kill people for no apparent reason! Quickly teach him a lesson!"
Jie Fangcheng's expression became somewhat subtle.
Opposite him, the man who was knocked away by his sword stood up and looked at Jie Fangcheng. He was startled at first, then reflexively took two steps back. Then he looked at Jie Fangcheng with a struggling expression and a very complicated look, but finally he accepted his fate.
He walked forward, bowed slightly to Jie Fangcheng, and clasped his hands together.
"Master Jie."
quiet.
The players outside the teleportation point were fighting fiercely - it was really fierce in the literal sense. Players with fire skills could easily make a lot of noise. The whole hall, even the ceiling, was burnt black. Everyone was fighting fiercely. The resentment accumulated over the years had never been released at a suitable time. Now, almost everyone took this opportunity to seek revenge. There were originally more than a thousand people, but now, roughly estimated, there were at least three or four thousand people calling their friends. The game hall could not accommodate so many people, so they all fought outside.
But right at the teleportation point, a piece of quiet land appeared.
grown ups!!
After the 21st century, no one has heard of this name except on TV.
Xie Fangcheng accepted this well.
He asked, "Xiao Gu, why is it you? Where is your boss Cui?"
Lang Gu frowned, stood up, and clasped his hands beside his cheeks: "Our master is busy with many things and has no time to take care of other things. I was sorting out the files, and when I opened my eyes again, I came here. Master Jie, there are many wandering souls here, why is this..."
"Alright, alright, alright." Even though Jie Fangcheng was used to it, he still felt a little ashamed under the gaze of those surprised eyes. He quickly pressed down Lang Gu's fists. "This is a long story. I will tell you slowly later. It's a good thing that you are here. Come on, come on."
"Leave? Where to?"
"No more nonsense, just go and fight the BOSS!" Jie Fangcheng waved his hand, "After you're done, you can go back and continue 007."
Lang Gu frowned: "Master Jie..."
"Call the manager!"
"..." Lang Gu was silent for a moment, "I wonder what BOSS it is? Is it the producer of this game?"
"That's about right. But this won't work. The Book of Life and Death has been lost for who knows how many years. I told you that you can't use only one APP to handle all projects. You see, something went wrong."
Jie Fangcheng put his arm around his shoulders, and after they walked for a distance, Jie Fangcheng suddenly remembered something and turned around.
"Hey, everyone, go to the restaurant and wait for me! I'll come after I kill Ji Chaoyang and the others!"
He was obviously going to Chaoyang Trade Union to look for someone.
But at this moment, Zhang Daoan suddenly called him.
"etc."
Jie Fangcheng looked at him.
Zhang Daoan adjusted his glasses.
"Ji Chaoyang was able to make such a big scene, obviously he had prepared in advance. We may not be able to find them in the Chaoyang Labor Union. I will go with you."
Since he was so proactive, Jie Fangcheng knew that he was really smart and of course there was no way he could refuse.
"OK!"
But Lang Gu, who was in his arms, frowned even more tightly.
"Master Jie, this man is very strange. And how can you be so close to the wandering soul?"
Jie Fangcheng patted his shoulder.
"Okay, we're not in the underworld anymore, stop being so serious."
Lang Gu still had a serious expression: "No."
The next sentence revealed that he was indeed a social animal employee of the new underworld: "And Lord Jie, if you do this and that, what will happen to our report in the future?"
Considering how cumbersome it is to write reports in the underworld now, and given such a good relationship with these wandering souls, it would be like writing a book and writing a report directly.
Especially since Jie Fangcheng's job is to clear out evil spirits, he shouldn't have such a good relationship with these wandering souls who have some things on their bodies that they shouldn't have. This is completely against the rules. In the past, he would have been punished by being struck by lightning.
Although Lang Gu has not been in office for long, Jie Fangcheng is also a celebrity in the underworld. Based on his understanding of this Lord Jie, he should hate making reports with his personality.
Xie Fangcheng seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed, turned around, grabbed Zhang Daoan's shoulder, and patted him on the back like a good brother.
"Let me introduce you to Zhang Daoan, a university professor." Xie Fangcheng continued to smile, "He has agreed to help me write a report."
Lang Gu turned to look at him in horror, but his expression was still serious.
"But... this person should have been killed long ago. This is against the rules."
Jie Fangcheng patted Lang Gu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. He will write the report on this matter himself. It has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about it."
