"it's him!"

"You're dead this time!"

Gerard looked over and saw a masked man who had not yet been blessed escape from the team and rushed towards the entrance.

The adventurer next to the masked man shouted, "Stop him, he's a wanted criminal!"

Gerard looked at the scene coldly and said, "Bass!"

Gerard did not come alone, and there were several hunters to assist him. Hearing the captain's order, the Blood Saint Orc Bass took out his pistol without hesitation, opened the safety, and drew a blood shadow with his body, chasing after the escaper!

Gerard himself still sat on the high platform, because he knew very well that as long as he guarded the passage to the virtual realm, Ash would not be able to escape from the Blood Moon no matter what.

As for the person who ran away in a hurry just now, Gerard did not think it was Ash's real body - the white-haired hunter had been fooled by the substitute once, how could he be fooled a second time

That's most likely Ash's stand, and we can just send Bass over to destroy it with one strike.

When Bass passed the crowd of adventurers, the chip screens of everyone here—except Gerald and Ke Er—popped up automatically, and two blood-red messages flashed on the screen in turn:

"Warning: You are currently in an attack-prohibited state."

"Warning: You are currently under movement restriction."

Even Bass was forced to stop in the crowd. This Blood Saint orc was also unable to resist the restraint of the chip. Before he could react to this scene, the adventurers around him suddenly screamed and fell down one after another, with bloody holes on their bodies!

"The hunters want to trap and kill us here!"

"They even controlled our chips and made us sitting ducks!"

"Gerald is going to judge us across the war zone!"

"They'll kill us all! It's illegal to control the chip like this, they won't let us leave alive! They'll silence us!"

Blood, night, prohibitions, screams, coupled with Gerard's notoriety and the self-awareness that a criminal should have, panic was like a plague bomb that exploded and spread among the crowd of adventurers in almost an instant.

At this moment, the two prompts on the adventurer's light screen suddenly became blurred and distorted. They moved tentatively and were surprised to find that they could walk!

“Run!”

With almost no hesitation, the adventurer subconsciously obeyed the unknown order, because there was no harm in running away, because running away could avoid the terrifying Gerard, and because everyone started running.

They are like a group of frightened rabbits, they will run away in all directions at the slightest provocation!

“Go ahead!”

"Flame Group, follow me and kill all the enemies who dare to stand in your way—"

"Ahhhhhh I'm shot, I'm shot!—"

"Don't step on it, don't! Ah~"

The hysterical commotion and shouting pierced the night. The adventurer who had just fallen to the ground was trampled by the panicked crowd and wailed in pain. It was obvious that he was about to be trampled to death!

Faced with this kind of human disaster, Gerard's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if his ruby eyes were about to burn.

Chaos, manipulation of people's hearts, incitement of darkness, and manipulation of everyone like puppets.

That’s the taste, that’s the feeling!

It turns out to be you, the leader of the Four Pillar Gods Cult, Ash Hiss!

Although the first wave of shouting was heard from all over the crowd, the masked adventurer who first led the adventurers to escape and then hid in the crowd to fan the flames has been locked on by Gerard!

At this time, the adventurers had already rushed to the entrance of the camp. The guards of the Government Affairs Office who were responsible for blocking the door did not dare to stop them. Although there were priests who could give first aid, they were just doing their job. Why would they risk their lives with this group of lunatics? They just let the adventurers rush out of the camp and flee.

Seeing that the heinous fugitive was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, Gerard put his hands together in a prayer gesture, performed a miracle, and turned into a blood moonlight that crossed the camp and leapt over the confused adventurers, attacking his prey at night like a white wolf!

He waved the chain sword from a distance, and it instantly disintegrated into a snake-shaped rope, binding the fleeing figure in the front!

"I'm sorry, Ash." Gerard's eyes were filled with crazy murderous intent: "But you're going to die anyway, let me vent!"

Miracle of Sword and Blood: Elegy of the Bloody Virgin!

This is Gerard's cruelest and most violent miracle. The chain sword will turn into a meat grinder to bind the target, grind the target's flesh and bones into a paste, and even derive the effect of hurting the soul, making the target bathe in the most cruel and brutal pain in the moment before death!

It's more like a punishment than an attack!

Now, it's Gerard's trial time!

However, what responded to Gerrard was not a ball of blood, but... nothing.

Nothing happened. The moment the chain sword touched the masked man, he disappeared. Two familiar objects fell on the spot—recorders.

It's like the worst joke, with the most boring fireworks.

substitute

Is this the substitute

That one just now—

Gerard landed and looked back, and saw the masked man who had escaped at the beginning lying on the ground howling, as if he had been shot in the leg by Bass. A scaly face of a fishman was revealed from his cloak, obviously not the Ash Hiss he had been thinking about day and night.

The first masked man was a bait used by Ash to pave the way for the ensuing chaos; the second masked man was a stand-in used to incite panic and to divert Gerard's attention.

So where is the real Ash

Gerard turned around and saw that the hunter who stayed on the platform had been knocked down, and several adventurers covered in blood were rushing towards the virtual realm passage.

By the way, although the adventurers were all running outside, several of them were "shot" for unknown reasons and fell to the ground. They couldn't run away at all, and were even trampled by the panicked crowd. Therefore, Gerard subconsciously ignored them...

I was fooled again.

And it’s still the same recipe.

Or use a stand-in to divert attention.

Gerard suddenly felt very tired. The chain sword in his hand was very heavy and he was exhausted. He knew that he was too late. He was lured too far away, and the virtual realm passage only allowed two-wing monks to pass through. He could not rush in to chase them.

Unless someone can stop them, then—

boom!

clang!

At the moment before the sniper shot, Ash on the platform thrust his sweet-mouthed sword into the ground!

The warm yellow sword barrier that was formed almost instantly was shattered by the bullets in an instant!

The sniper was an orc hiding at the entrance of the camp. His right hand was equipped with a heavy sniper rifle specially used by orcs. The barrel of the rifle glowed with golden light, as if he was using miracles to guide aiming.

Gerard recognized him, and Ash recognized him too.

He is the orc Gusas Duff.

A two-winged magician, the current leader of the Woodpecker Gang, and Professor Schilling's loyal lackey.

The last mission he received was to hide near Observation Point 53 and wait for an opportunity to kill Ash Hiss.
