Chapter 138 Madness and Chaos
Just as the lewd man's face got closer and closer, and Sun Jie was about to collapse, a beam of light shone from not far away, shining directly on them.
It was like a ray of salvation shining on Sun Jie's heart. She regained her strength and struggled frantically until she was finally able to cry out, "Help! Help me!"
The lewd man covered her mouth again, but Sun Jie did not stop struggling.
"Hey, the girl doesn't look very old, maybe we should call it quits," said the man who was looking for them with a light. He seemed unconcerned about the lewd man's behavior.
Sun Jie's heart pounded like a drum, hoping the lewd man would let them go.
"Mind your own business! If I don't get the tip, are you going to make up for the loss?!" the lewd man cursed.
A tip? What tip? Has she been targeted by the dark web?
Sun Jie forgot to struggle and started analyzing the meaning of their conversation.
"Alright, let's go. We're out of supplies anyway. Do you want to waste your energy fighting him?" said the lantern bearer's companion, tugging at him and causing the beam of light to sway.
The man carrying the light hesitated for a few seconds, then left with his companion.
Sun Jie's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, and she stopped struggling, utterly despairing after being abandoned.
After the lewd man chuckled lewdly a few times, he prepared to touch Sun Jie's body when another beam of light shone on him. This beam of light was much stronger than the previous one, forcing the lewd man to cover his eyes.
"Damn it! Didn't you hear what I just told you?!"
However, instead of the beam disappearing or a reply, they heard footsteps.
The lewd man sensed something was wrong and immediately looked over, enduring the glaring light.
The other party was very fast. The alley was not deep to begin with, and before he could see who it was, the lewd man sensed a murderous intent. He immediately enhanced his body, and his originally ordinary figure became muscular and he grew half a meter taller.
At this moment, the other party also threw out a light source, allowing the perverted man to see the whole picture.
It was a man and a woman, both wearing black combat uniforms.
The woman ran over quickly, and the lewd man crossed his arms in a defensive stance. The woman leaped up and punched the crossed arms.
The sleazy man felt like he'd been hit by a mountain; he flew out and crashed into the wall of the dead-end alley.
Rong Yi's eyelids drooped as he looked down at him. "You're not too late."
In the past month, she and Wei Yanqing have been quite busy. There have been many similar incidents of harming or even killing indigenous people for rewards, but they are scattered all over the world and are not obvious yet.
There's no income from Ghost Crystals now, but killing these types of players will yield points and resources from them.
Wei Yanqing didn't make a move. With his hands in his pockets, he said to Sun Jie, "Go out and call the police. They'll be collecting the body later. Be careful lately."
After saying that, he handed her the phone she had dropped, saying, "It's yours, isn't it?"
Sun Jie nodded haphazardly, unable to utter a word; she was quite frightened.
After getting the phone, she ran out of the alley without looking back, calling the police as she ran.
After the man left, Wei Yanqing walked up to the lewd man and stood next to Rong Yi. "Second-tier, mid-level. No wonder he'd do this for a reward."
"No matter what rank they are, once I catch them, they won't live."
Meanwhile, the number of comments about the perverted man increased dramatically, with viewers spamming two names: Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing.
He quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Don't kill me, I was just doing what the audience wanted, I was forced to do it."
Rong Yi blinked a few times. "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't do it, they'll just scold you. They can't just stick their hands out and kill you."
She often argues with the audience, yet she still lives a very comfortable life.
Without giving him any chance to argue, several gunshots rang out after being silenced by the silencer, and the sleazy man was dead, his eyes wide open.
Rong Yi counted the supplies transferred from the lewd man to her account. "The points are few, but the number of ghost crystals is not bad. Three of them together are barely enough."
The reason I say three is because the two players who discovered this situation earlier also had half of their resources stolen by them.

On the other side, Sun Jie cried as she called the police. A few minutes later, the police arrived at the scene and went to the alley, only to find the lewd man's body, now back to its normal size.
One of the police officers, wearing gloves, touched the shattered wall. "It looks like he suffered a huge shock before he died, but apart from his forehead, there are no other obvious injuries on his body."
It's so strange. A normal person would suffer internal injuries and back damage if subjected to that level of impact, let alone survive. But this one is different.
"Take it back for further examination. This is the fourth murder case in the past month. The killers of the previous three cases have not been found."
The lewd man was put into a body bag and carried away, while other police officers took Sun Jie to the police station and notified her family.
After calming down at the police station, Sun Jie recounted in detail what happened in the alley. Knowing that two other people saw the situation but did not help, the police immediately retrieved nearby surveillance footage in an attempt to find the two individuals.
When the lewd man suddenly grew taller and stronger, the police officer's expression became increasingly serious. Either Sun Jie was too nervous and was hallucinating, or it was real. But who could do something like that?
It's not surprising that the police didn't connect it to the player, because their enhanced bodies are useless against ghosts; they need to use second-tier bullets.
After finding several sets of surveillance footage, they quickly located two people who had passed through that alley. The timing matched, and they were carrying flashlights.
However, as soon as they appeared in front of the camera, they were stopped by a man and a woman who seemed to be talking to each other. After the man and woman left, the two of them ran away as if they had seen a ghost. The police traced their route by following the direction they ran.
But after the files were submitted, someone recognized who the man and woman were.
Yuan Tianyu was recently pleased with the disappearance of the ghost realm, but he had a lot of administrative work to do. He took the lead in rebuilding the official system to allow society to continue to function, and he took another position, with the top leader selecting a suitable person to take over.
But he was always worried about those strange people. When the Ghost Realm existed, they could fight alongside people, but now that the Ghosts were gone, those strange people's uncanny abilities and the ammunition they could conjure up out of thin air were a major concern for him.
Recent cases have confirmed his suspicions: some strange people are targeting ordinary people, which is why it is difficult to find effective evidence to arrest the perpetrators.
However, the appearance of Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing in the video made him realize that even strange people would target other strange people.
"Mr. Yuan, should we take these people into custody?" his subordinate asked worriedly.
Yuan Tianyu certainly wouldn't completely trust that group of strange people. While making contact, he had members in various places collect information and photos of the group, just in case something like this happened.
Yuan Tianyu shook his head. "Don't act rashly. Their weaponry might be beyond our expectations. Making a move could easily provoke the strange people who haven't attacked ordinary people yet."
Their investigation revealed that most of the monsters would take the money issued by the Alliance under the guise of fighting the demons and go out to have fun, without taking any other action.
Yuan Tianyu: "First, try to contact a reliable person to understand whether their group is here permanently or just for a short period of time."
The alliance had previously guessed the nature of the group of monsters, suggesting they might be just temporary visitors.
