Chapter 225 Meat Grinder (VI)

As soon as he heard this, Jie Fangcheng understood.

Ghost eyes, these are obviously the pair of eyes that Dongyue God later installed.

"So you were the ones who killed Lord Dongyue." Jie Fangcheng clenched his hands again.

Sensing the murderous intent in him, Xiao Qi hurriedly explained: "We killed him, but we are just a knife. Even if we were not the ones who accepted the task, others would make the same choice after accepting the task."

Jie Fangcheng understood what she meant.

She told herself that the murderer was actually someone else - the person who issued the private mission.

Jie Fangcheng asked: "Who issued this task?"

"Ji Dai." Xiao Qi replied.

Jie Fangcheng was surprised: "Who?"

Xiao Qi repeated the name again and wrote down the two words while speaking.

Jie Fangcheng was shocked and doubtful. He looked at Xiao Qi in confusion.

Even Xiao Qi felt confused at this time.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Faced with her doubts, Xie Fangcheng did not answer.

But the name Ji Dai...it's so familiar.

Because the real name of Dongyue God is Ji Dai.

If what Xiao Qi said is true, then why would the Lord of Mount Dongyue issue such a task?

And as one of the guardians of the small world, how does Dongyue God issue private tasks to the players of "Three Thousand Worlds"?

But if Xiao Qi was lying, Jie Fangcheng could sense it.

But the person on the other end did not lie, at least what she said was the truth in her memory.

【Ghost Eye】What is the function of this prop?

Everything is an unsolved mystery, and Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but look at Yan Xun beside him.

As if knowing that he wanted to say something private, the vehicle automatically split into two, with Jie Fangcheng and Yan Xun at one end and Xiao Qi at the other end like a prisoner being escorted. There was an opaque light curtain between the two sides, blocking out sight and sound.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xun asked.

Without outsiders around, Jie Fangcheng quickly told all the doubts that were in his mind.

"That is to say, the guardian of your small world, the Dongyue God named Ji Dai, can issue private tasks to players of Three Thousand Worlds, and this task requires players to plunder the items they own?"

What's the difference between this and hiring someone to kill you?

Jie Fangcheng was also confused: "Yes. But he shouldn't have been possessed by another body. Dongyue Divine Lord has been in charge of the underworld for thousands of years. And since I have known him, the stability of his soul is unimaginable for ordinary people."

Of course. As the Lord of the Underworld, if his own soul is not stable enough, it would be a huge joke.

Don't even think about taking over someone else's body; it's impossible.

"How long has this game existed?" Yan Xun asked.

"Ah?" Jie Fangcheng was unsure, "I haven't really asked this."

Yan Xun analyzed: "According to the memories of Zhang Siquan and Luke that I have, this game may have existed for a very long time... so long that this game existed before Dongyue Divine Lord took office."

Jie Fangcheng was stunned for a moment. Then he realized what he meant: "You mean it's possible that Ji Dai is indeed a player, and after he entered our small world, he became the Dongyue Divine Lord that I know?"

Jie Fangcheng had never thought of this angle.

In his mind, although not all the players of "Three Thousand Worlds" are hateful, they are also plunderers of the small world.

This group of people entered the small world to commit crimes and commit murder and arson.

Becoming the guardian of a small world? How can this be possible...

Jie Fangcheng suddenly thought that he was actually now one of the players of "Three Thousand Worlds".

And now he followed Yan Xun here to look for an opportunity to save the world, and what he did was what a guardian would do.

Could it be that when Ji Dai entered the small world, he was moved by some of the situations in the small world and eventually stayed to become the guardian?

At the same time, Yan Xun suddenly raised another question.

"What will happen if the player stays in the small world for a long time?"

Although Jie Fangcheng didn't know the answer to this question, there was another person in the car who could answer it.

The vehicle that was originally split into two merged into one again the next second, and Xiao Qi, who was separated, finally saw the two again.

At this time, the person who asked her the question was no longer Jie Fangcheng, but a polite-looking man.

"Hello."

The other party seemed very polite, so Xiao Qi responded stiffly: "Hello."

"I want to ask, if you stay in our hunting ground, what will happen in the end?"

Xiao Qi was stunned, she first looked at Fang Cheng who understood her.

Jie Fangcheng was rude to her: "Just answer if I ask you to. Why are you looking at me? Are you looking for death?"

Xiao Qi withdrew his gaze.

"If you stay in the hunting ground, it will be fine in the short term, but over time, you will be assimilated into the small world."

"assimilation?"

"Yes, you might forget your identity as a player and really think you are just an NPC in the hunting ground."

It sounds like it would be very cool. As long as the player is strong enough and is not discovered by the guardian of the small world, he can do whatever he wants in such a small world.

But don’t forget, hunting grounds are small worlds that are about to collapse!

There was no player who didn't look forward to completing the mission quickly and getting out of the hunting ground, because no one could guarantee that in the next second, the hunting ground they were in would not be destroyed due to the collapse of the small world.

Jie Fangcheng and the other person looked at each other.

The car split into two halves again, and the soundproof film blocked the three people again.

Jie Fangcheng couldn't wait to speak: "So it is possible that Ji Dai wanted to enter my small world to complete the task at the beginning. But for some reason, he stayed in the world and was assimilated by the small world, and finally became the Dongyue Divine Lord I know now?"

This explanation was reasonable, but it made Jie Fangcheng feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention the players he met after entering the game, only the players like Zhan Xiaoming gave Jie Fangcheng a better impression. The morals of other players were not much better than those of "Don't Answer".

Moreover, since the small world is called a "hunting ground", it is very likely that when Dongyue God first entered the world as a player, he also came with the purpose of some kind of plundering mission.

Thinking about it this way, combined with his impression of Dongyue God's usual performance, Jie Fangcheng felt uncomfortable everywhere.

How could Yan Xun not know what he was thinking: "Maybe he is like you, and he is not here to plunder resources."

Jie Fangcheng looked at him.

Yan Xun analyzed: "'Satan' is one of the managers of this game. As a manager, what kind of props can't he get if he wants? Why does he want to snatch a used prop from a player? So this prop has other meanings to him... or in other words, the one that really has other meanings is the small world you protect."

Jie Fangcheng was stunned.

In order to make it easier for him to understand, Yan Xun set up a virtual screen directly in front of him.

There were several circles of different colors drawn on the screen in a simple and clear manner. As Yan Xun explained, the circles kept changing.

"How strong is this fallen elf named Xiaoqi?" Yan Xun asked.

"Strength? Maybe?" Jie Fangcheng said, "The five of them are the rare ones who can survive after being hit by my sword."

These words sounded too arrogant, but coupled with Jie Fangcheng's serious expression, they seemed particularly convincing.

Then Yan Xun asked again: "Then let me ask, if you compare your strength with Satan, who is stronger?"

"I don't know." Jie Fangcheng shook his head honestly.

He is arrogant, but that is based on his own strength.

Although Jie Fangcheng can guarantee that in his own world, his strength is indeed rare and powerful.

Especially after the death of Lord Dongyue and the fall of the God Realm, Jie Fangcheng was the undisputed number one in the small world, and he didn't even have an opponent who required him to perish together with him.

But this is within the "Three Thousand Worlds".

Facing an opponent he had never met before, it was impossible for Jie Fangcheng to mindlessly say "I am the best in the world".

But the only thing that is certain is that no matter who the opponent is or how strong the opponent is, Xie Fangcheng is not afraid.

In essence, he and Zhang Daoan are of the same kind.

When facing the dilemma of the imminent collapse of his small world in this world, Yan Xun never said he would give up.

Even though outside the Green Island is a dead zone of yellow sand and no life, this robot, which only has its rational mind left, has never made rational calculations on all these predicaments to come up with a result that is more favorable to itself.

Because they are the guardians.

The small world placed all its hopes on the guardian. It would give the guardian the greatest support, allowing Jie Fangcheng to have the ability to kill gods when he was still a human, and allowing Yan Xun to split himself perfectly, using his mechanical body to force the small world to open up new life again.

Behind them are the rest of the creatures in the entire world. Once the strongest guardian retreats in fear, the collapse of the small world will happen in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, although he answered "I don't know" at this time, Jie Fangcheng quickly added: "If I can't win now, I will practice more and I should be able to do it."

His "practice" was really "practice"... Of course, it was not a very beautiful memory.

Yan Xun, however, had a more convenient way to confirm it.

The car merged into one again, and the film that blocked the sight and sound disappeared.

Yan Xun nodded politely to Xiao Qi again.

Xiaoqi was still immersed in the sorrow of his companion's death, but his sad mood was interrupted for the second time.

The other party was very polite... and very formulaic.

"Hello."

"..." Did this scene happen just now? Xiao Qi thought so, and nodded hesitantly at Yan Xun, "Hello."

"I want to ask, how strong is Satan?"

——Satan.

Hearing the name again, Xiao Qi couldn't help but shudder, and sadness and hatred appeared in his eyes.

"Satan is very powerful."

The presidents of the six guilds are well-known among the players.

As one of the presidents of the six major guilds, Satan is naturally very famous.

The demon blood in him is extremely powerful, and demons who are naturally aggressive will not obey a weak king, so Satan's strength can be imagined.

Moreover, over the years, the six major guilds have always been a transcendent existence in the hearts of players.

Although the six presidents rarely appear in public, there are many posts about them on the Internet.

For example, the "President" of the First Guild was a pure human. But it was said that this pure human was only second to Rock Ghost among the six guild leaders, and in terms of strength, he was the third person in the entire game.

As for Satan, the most common comment about him online is that he is cruel.

The reason why the Demon Realm is so famous is that more than 100 years ago, the devil Satan used the Demon Realm to trap hundreds of players who expressed dissatisfaction with him.

It was a demonstration.

In the end, only one of the more than 100 players escaped and uploaded the video to the forum.

The horrific scenes of bloody flesh and cannibalism made many people feel that this demonic realm was even more terrifying than in the dungeon.

But in fact, as the current managers of the game, the six guild presidents have not appeared in public for a long time.

Now Satan is taking action because of an A-level item.

Xiao Qi is not a fool either, she is also thinking about the current situation in her mind.

The player sitting in front is really terrifying, his strength is unheard of.

Unconsciously, when Yan Xun asked about Satan's strength, Xiao Qi automatically compared Satan with Jie Fangcheng.

It may also be because the gap between his own strength and those of the other two is too big, so at this moment, Xiao Qi vaguely feels that... Jie Fangcheng's strength seems to be stronger than Satan's.

But is this possible?

Satan is the president of the Sixth Guild and one of the managers of this game!

The look in her eyes was enough for Yan Xun to know the answer.

So he continued to nod politely: "Thank you."

After that, the car split into two halves again.

Jie Fangcheng was a little curious: "She didn't say anything, but you knew it?"

"I can see that." Yan Xun smiled, "But if you let her speak for herself, her 'reason' might tell her that Satan should be stronger than you."

This is a characteristic of human beings. It is difficult for humans to judge the true strength of a certain person. The assessment of strength will always be affected by factors such as social status, historical experience, and other impressions. Therefore, it is impossible to judge strength simply by true strength.

Just like Xiao Qi just now, her hesitant expression showed that she intuitively felt that Jie Fangcheng was stronger, but her reason made her feel that Satan was stronger.

After all, one is the guardian of an S-level hunting ground, while the other is the manager of the game, and both identities represent a gap.

"So what we know now is that Satan, one of the six guild leaders, killed three S-level hunters for the Ghost Eye, and then deliberately placed this Fallen Elf in front of our car - in other words, he is very concerned about this hunting ground. Obviously, this is only a D-level hunting ground. A game manager would not have nothing better to do than to check on a low-level hunting ground, right? So he is actually concerned about you."

"As for why I'm paying attention to you... there are too few clues now, so I can only make a guess." Although he said that, seeing the countless streams of information flashing in the robot's pupils, it was obvious that within this short period of time, the robot had relied on calculations to deduce a reasonable explanation.

"[Ghost Eye], this item may not have originally belonged to Ji Dai. He stole it. And the small world you are protecting may be very special."
