The system is annoying
Xu Wei didn't know how to react for a moment.
"You mean...kill the priests and the leader?"
Fang Yi: "You have already killed Priest No. 3, so you must have experience in dealing with them."
Xu Wei: "The transit station cannot harm players, and the dungeon's matching mechanism is random. How can I contact them?"
"Don't worry, the game has been around for so long that even well-programmed games can go awry," he said with a calm smile, "there are always players of all abilities who can do it, right?"
Xu Wei really wanted to call Mao Cheng to sit in and let him see how the system that believed that "neither the Earth nor interstellar civilizations could interfere" was stabbed to pieces by the cult and other players.
Dark Cloud, evil cults, players, everyone can do something beyond the system, only the official personnel of the system are restricted.
"Have you thought it through? The main task is to eradicate it completely, so there will be no killing missions unless it is necessary. The top leader and I will also assist." Fang Yi looked over expectantly.
Xu Wei felt quite uncomfortable being stared at with hope by a burly man.
She coughed lightly and said, "I don't want to kill innocent people. If there is a mission target, please find out."
Since entering the dungeon, she has been adhering to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me, and has no intention of framing others.
After killing the third priest and his accomplices she met in the paradise escape, she did not feel guilty as shown in the TV series. The reason was that she was unconscious at the time and some details were missing after she recovered her memory. The second reason was that the accomplices were hunting players and their hands were covered in blood. The third reason was that her sense of morality might not be as strong as she imagined.
Being forced to kill and planned to kill are two different concepts, but Xu Wei felt no wavering when he heard Fang Yi say this.
She was thinking more about how to achieve her goal.
"It is impossible for anyone who can become a priest to have never killed someone," Fang Yi said. "Their leader is more ruthless than you and I can imagine. After the death of the president of Lieyang, there was a big purge within his organization, even including other organizations on the leaderboard. Many members were betrayed by people who knew them well and died tragically in dungeons. This is also the reason why some players are still unwilling to join the organization."
Xu Wei pondered for a long time and refilled the two cups of tea in his hand.
Just as Fang Yi said, joining them would allow her to obtain the latest intelligence about the cult, but the price was that she would need to take risks to complete the mission, which also coincided with her goal. If she encountered a black-robed priest in the copy, she would definitely not let him go and leave a chance to report the news.
But Fu Fenglou had said at the beginning that perhaps the evil cult organization would not pay much attention to a small figure like her, and perhaps she would give up after hiding her identity for a while. The most important thing for the other party was to hunt down players for sacrifice...
Thinking of hiding her identity, she slapped her head and said painfully: "I agree."
The damn ranking system does not give any chance to hide in the crowd, and Xu Wei is always upset about the fact that Priest No. 3 knew his abilities in advance. He will not be at peace unless he eradicates the evil cult as soon as possible.
A time bomb hanging over your head, ready to explode at any moment.
Fang Yi stood up excitedly: "Great!"
He hurriedly shook hands with Xu Wei and cried, "Finally I am not the only one doing this! You don't know how much the little... leader asks me to do every day, managing the organization, maintaining the order of the night market, collecting clues, and preparing her for food, clothing, housing and transportation! Back then, I was a young man who didn't even know what styles of girls' clothes there were!"
Xu Wei was shocked: "Why do you still care what Ye Yan wears?"
Fang Yi nodded with a bitter face: "She has all kinds of skirts, and she has to match them according to her mood. She also has to be very picky about food, and if she doesn't like the taste, she has to change it. I've never done this before."
Xu Wei: "...You've worked so hard."
The name Fang Yi blurted out just now should be "Miss". These two people may have known each other before entering the dungeon, and Fang Yi's status is lower than Ye Yan's in their relationship. It is very likely that she works for her. Combined with the discomfort Fang Yi mentioned earlier, she is not a housekeeper, but a bodyguard or driver. The possibility of her being a follower and playmate is not ruled out.
Xu Wei prefers a work-based relationship because of Fang Yi's fear of Ye Yan - something she had experienced deeply while at work.
Thinking of this, she found it funny again.
It’s been less than two months, but the days when I worked hard as a corporate slave in the company and had to swallow my anger when I was suppressed seem like a thing of the past life.
She now even has some of the "occupational diseases" of a gamer, and analyzes others reflexively once she catches some information.
Fang Yi handed over a black button: "Take it, this is a benefit of joining the program."
Xu Wei took it and looked at it from both sides: "I'm not a prop master."
"Yes, this is our internal communication tool. Qi Xu is very capable," Fang Yi said proudly. "As long as we have the same medium as him, we can establish communication between the dungeon and the transfer station."
Xu Wei raised his eyebrows: "Qi Xu's last dungeon was Paradise Escape? Someone saw members of the Player Night Market making a video call with the transfer station."
Fang Yi was stunned: "No, I remember his copy cycle is different from yours."
Xu Wei lowered his eyes and took the button: "Maybe I remembered it wrongly."
*
It was already afternoon when she came out of the old pants. After finishing the copy, she rushed to the City Hall without stopping, and then ran to Fang Yi. She didn't notice it while talking about things, but as soon as she relaxed, her stomach immediately rumbled.
I don’t know if Lu Fanye and the others have finished eating.
Xu Wei turned on the bracelet and brought up the group chat interface.
The message was still when Li Xia urged them to go eat hot pot. Lu Fanye sent a private message ten minutes ago saying that Li Xia, Ke Rui, and Xiao Jiu insisted on drinking and were now drunk and crazy, so she should not go and go home quickly.
Xu Wei laughed.
One can already imagine the chaotic scene in Zhang Yuan's home, with three big idiots going crazy while drunk. Shaya and Zhang Yuan would definitely prioritize protecting the hot pot. Li Shaodong hurriedly tried to stop them, Shali was disgusted, and finally the three people who were dancing with joy were ruthlessly suppressed by Fu Fenglou.
As the hot pot is steaming, everyone must be looking happy and satisfied.
She couldn't wait to open the group chat box.
【Xu Wei: I’ll be there right away! 】
Not sent out.
She poked at the red exclamation point on the dialog box.
Still not sent out.
Xu Wei immediately leaned over and looked around. Everything was normal. She was standing on the street of the transfer station. Beside her were buildings of various colors. The shops were lit with warm yellow lights. There were quite a few pedestrians coming and going. Their expressions were calm, and the voices of their conversations were low, but there was nothing unusual.
Because of the loss she had suffered in the Judgment Hotel in the past, she stood still and looked around carefully again and again.
Still normal, just like every ordinary day spent here.
Could it be that Maocheng hasn’t been repaired yet?
No, private chat was available before the power system in the city hall failed. Li Xia sent several urging messages afterwards.
She was startled and raised her wrist.
The bracelet is missing.
When I looked up again, there was nothing in front of me, and the information screen I was used to seemed to have never appeared.
The pedestrians around are still chatting, and there are many people who are looking down at their phones, with watches, bracelets and rubber bands on their wrists.
But no bracelet.
Xu Wei's breath was choked.
On both sides, there are still images of the Judgment City, with cat claw houses, floating metal cabins, bright silver buildings... but there are fewer players in strange costumes on the streets. It is like a gift box with a gorgeous shape but an empty interior, inadvertently revealing its dry interior.
"What are you doing, sister? Are you role-playing?" A drunkard passed by, squinted his eyes, walked towards her crookedly, and raised his hand to get closer.
Xu Wei frowned, and before his brain could react, his body reflexively threw the man to the ground.
"Ah! Someone is beating someone! Someone is beating someone in the street! I want to go to the hospital!" The man was lying at her feet, shouting half-seriously.
A group of people immediately gathered around, taking pictures, shouting, spitting, flash lights and shutters clicking, and the noisy voices were like a raging torrent that drowned out the girls trapped in the center.
Such a dense crowd of people came from nowhere on the not crowded street, forming layer upon layer of human walls. There were also people outside who kept trying to squeeze into the gaps and look inside.
Xu Wei spread out his hands and stared at his palms.
After a moment, she curled the corners of her mouth and stepped on the drunk's fingers without any hesitation.
The drunkard howled and struggled loudly, and the crowd of onlookers burst into violent shouts and curses.
The noise around her did not affect her at all. Xu Wei took off her white coat. The clothes inside were still the ones she wore in the deserted village. There were holes in some places, which caused people in the crowd to whistle in agitation.
The white coat was swished across the drunk's face.
He opened his white coat, spat on it, and said viciously: "I'm telling you, so many people are watching us. If you don't pay the money today, don't even think about leaving!"
Xu Wei squatted down, gently picked up the white coat, and moved closer to him: "I understand."
"Now you know you're wrong?" Seeing her showing weakness, the drunk raised his hand and rubbed her proudly, "Why didn't you let me touch you earlier..."
“Ka-ra!”
The crisp sound of bones breaking.
Xu Wei withdrew his hand expressionlessly, spread out his white coat, and let the dirty corner hang to the ground.
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
"You, you..." The spectators in the front row immediately panicked. Queen Zhang retreated, and the open space in the center suddenly expanded by several meters.
Xu Wei slowly stood up and smiled: "What's wrong? I just couldn't bear to see his expression after death, so I covered it with clothes."
At her feet, a drunk man with a twisted and drooping neck, looking as if he was about to die, had a ferocious expression on his face and died with his eyes open.
"You guys...want to try it too?"
The white coat flew towards the wall of people in front of him.
Someone screamed and the crowd suddenly scattered. Everyone pushed and shoved their way out, fearing that they would be the next.
"Murder, murder!"
"Call the police!"
"Stop her, she's a murderer!"
Xu Wei hurried to the city hall carrying his white coat.
Skills cannot be used in the transfer station, and once these unknown creatures react, it will be even more difficult to break out.
She was absolutely certain that she was in a transit station, and did not doubt the reality of the world she was in because of any sudden clues.
Are you kidding? In the real world, how could she, who never leaves the house, easily knock down an adult? She even has muscle memory for it.
"It" did all this simply to trap her with the normal world scene, and then drive her insane with its weird and mysterious ways.
The same means as always.
The town hall was empty.
Xu Wei stood at the door, silently looking at the instruments still operating in the hall.
“Ding ding ding…”
The light tube suddenly flickered, the electricity made a crackling sound, and the exhaust fan above my head started spinning automatically without anyone sensing it.
The buzzing sound came from far away and came into my mind from the other end of the distant starry sky.
Xu Wei turned around and the street behind him seemed to be painted with mottled blocks of color, or like the colored lines that appeared on a damaged screen of an old-fashioned TV. The colors of the whole world seemed to be overexposed, and the contrast was so strong that it was blinding.
She had to cover her eyes with her hands to avoid the strong light from irritating her retina.
“Sizzle…”
The image in front of my eyes began to flicker wildly as if the contact was bad. The scene changed at an extremely fast speed, as if two worlds flashed alternately in front of my eyes. One was the familiar Judgment City, but it was mixed with violent explosions and screams, and the other was calm and peaceful...
It is a strange human city.
