With a "ding," Mingmei saw her thrown knife blocked and deflected by some other metal weapon.

"You have the same fiery temper as your mother."

Unexpectedly, someone brought up her mother. When Mingmei looked up, she saw Lord Cui standing in front of her with a long sword.

"You're not Lord Cui, so who are you?"

Why would she know her mother?

Her bright eyes shifted repeatedly. She glanced at Feng Xun, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, and then at "Lord Cui," who didn't seem like a good person. She began to calculate how to subdue "Lord Cui" without letting Feng Xun go.

"Your eyes are quite frightening."

Her bright eyes were very piercing. Although her face was somewhat expressionless, one could often guess what she was thinking just by looking into her eyes.

“I am an enforcer sent by your uncle. I think you should have already received the message.”

Upon hearing "Lord Cui," Mingmei immediately became suspicious, as if he were a law enforcer. She remembered that this person had been here since the very beginning of the game. If he was indeed a law enforcer...

"What? You don't think that law enforcement officers like me, who are tasked with capturing Zerg, have to rely on information provided by you to initiate any search operations, do you?"

"Lord Cui" crossed his arms and met Feng Xun's gaze, who was immobilized by the bright sunshine. He said, "I naturally know his movements at all times, and then I follow the trail to get here. As an enforcer, I do all of this."

Ultimately, I think besides the system notifying you that this guy exists in the game, the biggest indicator should be whether I'm actually there, right?

Hearing him say that, Mingmei remembered that she hadn't seen any law enforcement NPCs when she arrived at the starting village. Even though they reported the traces left by the Zerg, they didn't receive the feedback that Mingmei received today that a law enforcement NPC had come.

"Hahahaha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xun lay face down on the ground, laughing nonstop. Mingmei was a little confused, not understanding what had gotten into this insectoid.

"I was wondering why you..." Feng Xun finished laughing during Mingmei's moment of reflection, then glared at "Lord Cui" not far away, "So you've been in cahoots with the game's designer all along. I should have realized why..."

Just as Feng Xun was about to continue speaking, the longsword in the enforcer's hand suddenly flashed with white light and transformed into a weapon resembling a gun, shooting towards Feng Xun.

Startled by the blinding glint of the gun barrel, Mingmei immediately moved away from Feng Xun's original position. (Biquge)

While shouting, "What are the law enforcers doing?", Feng Xun, who had been shot, also emitted a dazzling light. Despite the blinding light, he didn't close his eyes, staring wide-eyed at the human body that had merged with the light. The body suddenly swelled up several times...

"Holy crap, what happened?"

The scene of the dancers and merchants assassinating each other reappeared at the banquet. However, Madison and Lu Gui, contrary to their usual behavior, helped protect the seemingly "sickly" tyrant. Just as they started fighting, something unexpected happened!

"My God! Zerg!!"

Lu Xiaoyao watched as the dancer she had pushed out with the back of her knife suddenly exploded.

Lu Xiaoyao subconsciously wanted to see if she had used the wrong knife and actually killed someone, but she never expected that what stood in front of her after her body exploded was a huge black worm!

"Monster! Monster!"

Some of the local NPCs present had never seen anything like this before. They were not only frightened by the sudden assassination attempt, but the fact that the assassins in front of them turned into monsters was also terrifying!

What's even scarier is yet to come!

The soldiers guarding the banquet rushed to protect the Chu Rong officials and the tyrant at the first moment of the assassination attempt. However, while they were dealing with the dancers' transformations, they did not notice that the ministers attending the banquet had also transformed into ugly insects and launched a sneak attack on them!

The numbers of insects and humans present were immediately reversed!

"Guards! Guards! Protect His Majesty!"

Some of the NPCs who were palace servants around Mu Chen, who also hadn't eaten that night, screamed out in terror. It was one thing for the assassins to turn into monsters, but how could some adults turn into this too?!

"hiss……"

At this moment, Madison's hand holding the scimitar trembled, not because he was frightened by the sudden reversal of the situation, but because his body also felt an indescribable pain!

It looked as if something was trying to burst out of its body!

Madison rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms, which were covered with bluish-purple cracks that stretched upwards. He didn't even need to open his chest to know that his entire body must be like this.

"What's wrong with you all...?"

Lu Gui frowned, watching as Madison and his sister, who were fighting alongside him, both showed expressions of pain. Turning his head, he saw the crack on Madison's arm and immediately turned to look at Lu Xiaoyao. Because they were dressed as dancers, the light veil could not completely cover their naked bodies, making it even more obvious.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao's entire body, except for her face, was covered with cracks from shattered glass, which was quite frightening!

"There's something wrong with tonight's food..."

Perhaps it was their own good physical stats, or perhaps it was some kind of protective mechanism in the game that prevented them from suddenly exploding like those NPCs.

Madison chuckled softly. Despite the immense pain his body was enduring, he was thankful that his mind was still clear and he could continue fighting.

"Your Majesty, Chu Rong."

Madison suddenly turned to look at the tyrant, who remained calm despite the situation, and called out to him.
