Chapter 419
How many times has that butler sighed?
He avoided her gaze, focusing all his attention on the matter at hand, and asked, "Just now, a player died unexpectedly on Sanhe Road in the East District. The steward of the jurisdiction went to the scene to investigate and found that you had been in contact with the deceased player."
The rules of the game are like ironclad laws; no one can break them.
In the base town, the consequences of a player injuring someone are extremely high, let alone killing someone.
The game grants butlers the right to rewind time, and no item or ability can conceal the truth.
There is no perfect crime here.
Therefore, even if the two players have a blood feud, as long as they don't intend to die together, no one dares to cause trouble in the base town.
The fact that a player died unexpectedly tonight naturally drew the attention of the stewards.
It's not that they care too much about a player's life, but that the rules of the game cannot be broken.
You doubt me?
The girl's almond-shaped eyes were misty, and her aggrieved and sad expression was like a needle piercing the softest part of her heart, causing an indescribable pain.
The deacon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, it's just a routine inquiry."
Wen Xin stared at him, and seeing that he didn't seem to be interrogating a suspect, she felt a little better, but she was still very aggrieved. "I didn't kill anyone."
The butler softened his tone, his voice carrying a hint of coaxing, "I just came to ask about the specific circumstances at the time, don't overthink it."
The girl's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and she wrinkled her little nose pitifully, looking dejected.
"I was on my way to the black market, but I got lost. When I passed by, I saw a male player bullying someone. The girl didn't fight back, but she was clearly unwilling and being forced. I couldn't stand it, so I pushed open the door to stop him..."
She's so kind; she always helps those in need!
"When that male player saw me, he didn't restrain himself at all and stared at me with disgusting eyes."
The little girl became even more aggrieved as she spoke.
It felt like something was gripping her heart; the butler could imagine how uneasy and scared she must have felt.
He treated this delicate little girl with utmost care, giving her whatever she wanted. How dare anyone offend her?
A cold, ruthless glint flashed deep in the butler's eyes.
If that male player hadn't already died...
Xiao Jin: "..."
See, see, it says the grocery basket may be late, but it has arrived.
Well then, sir, you've seen how ruthless the master is at slaughtering zombies like slicing watermelons. Just think about it, how could the master possibly be afraid or uneasy?
And another thing, you are the fairest butler in the game!
"That guy's language was so rude and vulgar that I couldn't stand it and argued with him for a bit. Then, I don't know how, he suddenly fell straight to the ground. I didn't even touch him, and I don't have the ability to bewitch people."
Wen Xin looked at the butler with innocent and weak eyes, as if she was about to die of heartbreak if he didn't believe her.
The butler thought to himself: You lack the ability to deceive, yet you can easily deceive...
However, after reviewing the replay of the incident, he knew that it was indeed the player who suddenly fell and, unfortunately, hit his head on a sharp object, killing him instantly.
However, veteran players' physical fitness has been enhanced to some extent, and it is impossible for any diseases to exist in the base town.
Why would a player suddenly fall down out of nowhere?
How could someone die so easily from hitting their head?
However, these things don't seem to matter anymore now.
But there is indeed no evidence to prove that she did anything to that player.
She is innocent!
Butler 01's eyes flickered slightly. He completely convinced himself and made a decision without hesitation, uploading the file.
only……
He remained silent for a while.
He used to not understand those tyrannical rulers in the literature who were blinded by lust, but now...
That's enough!
He could only continue to observe his own situation.
Wen Xin bit her red lips and asked anxiously, "Brother 01, have I caused trouble?"
"No, this has nothing to do with you. You just happened to be there by chance, and upon closer examination, that player did indeed violate the game rules."
The butler gently comforted the little girl.
Wen Xin patted her chest, "I'm glad I didn't cause my brother any trouble."
The butler looked at the adorable little girl, his eyes softening slightly, and instructed her, "In the future, if you encounter something like this, seek help directly from the game's official support. Don't take risks on your own anymore."
The girl nodded obediently, "I understand, brother."
He had already gone from being 01's older brother to a younger brother, but just by touching the little girl's soft, trusting eyes, the butler couldn't utter a single word of refusal.
He asked, "When will you enter the instance again?"
Wen Xin's face instantly scrunched up like a little bun. "Newcomers get 24 hours free, then you can join."
One hour of survival costs 100 points. Wen Xin looked at the points in her pocket. What's there to rest?
What right do poor people have to spend money to rest?
Get to work!
She looked at the handsome and gentle young man in front of her and suppressed the urge to complain about the game's exploitative character design.
But survival hours are really expensive!
She still has 100 million yuan in debt.
Just thinking about it almost brought Wen Xin to tears.
Why is fate so cruel to this poor little thing?
The butler looked at the pitiful, soft little girl, his starry eyes rippling with emotion.
He raised his hand and gently patted her head, his warm voice carrying a soothing smile.
"You're still in the beginner phase, the dungeons won't be too difficult."
The girl obediently replied with an "Mmm."
"I will try my best, brother."
After that, Wen Xin didn't mention the game or the dungeon again, and just chatted with him casually.
She would use all sorts of cute and charming tactics to take advantage of him over trivial matters, but she never said anything about game instances, and she would never take advantage of his special treatment of her to ask him to give her special access or anything like that.
Hmph, does she need to use connections?
When she gets really good, even she's afraid of herself!
Isn't it just a post-apocalyptic scenario?
She can!
However, Wen Xin smiled and said, "Brother, I hope I can draw a dungeon where you're the one that helps players clear the dungeon."
The butler's handsome and gentle face shone with a soft, clear radiance under the lamplight, like jade. "Alright."
Wen Xin was captivated by his warm and gentle smile, but she emphasized, "I'll smoke it myself. I believe in my destiny with my brother."
Meeting the little girl's firm and bright eyes, the butler couldn't help but smile, his voice tinged with a hint of indulgence, "Alright."
...
