Chapter 235
Attentive viewers noticed the unusual nature of the twelfth apostle almost immediately.
Aside from the two times he publicly called out to the "astrologer," they had never seen the boy so excited before. Their curiosity was piqued, and they looked towards the live stream camera.
A straight figure stood at the empty gate.
The white military-style training uniform fits perfectly to the waist and back, the shoulder badges are hidden, and the well-tailored fabric outlines beautiful, slender muscle lines. The legs are long and the eyes are calm, like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, restrained yet sharp.
The audience fell silent for a couple of seconds, then countless comments flooded the screen.
Even though players from different continents have different aesthetic tastes, they have to admit that for a moment, they were terrified by the overwhelming aura of the young people.
Are they from Central Continent?
I don't know why, but even though he's not good-looking, I think he's very beautiful.
You might think he's not handsome because he's using some kind of disguise. But his unique charm can't be hidden; he can still captivate people even through his appearance.
Oh, I see. I really want to see what he looks like!
I just want to know who he is. Is he a top player from the Central Continent region? What is his relationship with Little Sheep? Are they friends?
But then the boy stood up, holding the doll, and excitedly rushed into the arms of the young man from Central Asia who was walking over!
The movements were incredibly practiced. First, the young man helped her hold the doll, then she stretched out her arms to hug her waist, deftly lifted her legs, and nimbly hung herself up, like a koala who was extremely good at climbing.
Finally, he didn't forget to take the doll from the young man.
The moment it was released from the boy's hand, the sheep-shaped doll trembled violently, its eyes turning bloodshot as if they were about to bleed.
The next second, it froze abruptly, its exposed sharp teeth quickly retracted, and its eyes, no longer red, returned to their normal black color in an instant.
Out-of-state audience: ...
Audience from outside the continent: ? ? ? ?
They were utterly astonished, staring in disbelief at the motionless sheep doll.
That doll wasn't some fluffy decoration; inside was a cursed spirit that the Twelfth Apostle had snatched from the S-rank Ghost King dungeon. It was ferocious, extremely dangerous, and highly lethal.
Why is he so docile and obedient like a rabbit in the young man's hands? What did he do?
White lifted the boy up to make it easier for him to hold him more securely, and then naturally patted his back: "You have very dark circles under your eyes, and your heart is racing. How many days has it been since you had a good night's sleep?"
The divine aura emanating from the young commander seemed to soothe his tense nerves, and the boy's world-weary face, which had been showing little interest in anything, gradually relaxed.
He exuded a long-lost ease: "It's been a long time. At first, I used the witch's sleeping potion to fall asleep, but I drank too much and developed a resistance, so it gradually stopped working. I found Hill again, but his dodder didn't inherit much of the intoxicating power, so I could only manage to sleep for a short while. He kept talking the whole way, waking me up several times, tsk..."
The boy's unintentional, resentful ramblings sounded just like complaints he was making to his family.
The foreign spectators who initially mocked and belittled the people of Middle-earth were completely bewildered. But now, seeing the meaningful looks from the Middle-earth spectators, they finally understood what was going on.
—So they knew all along that White would come looking for the Twelfth Apostle, and they were just waiting to see them make a fool of themselves!
Actually, this is nothing. Most viewers would be happy to see a god-level player suddenly appear who seems to be an ally, as it would increase their chances of winning.
However, these individuals had a different idea in mind: anyone they discriminated against had to be discriminated against as well, otherwise it would be considered betrayal and moral depravity.
Twelfth Apostle! You know we shouldn't give these Middle-earth people a hard time. If they hadn't cheated and broken the rules, the game wouldn't be so difficult! And the death rate wouldn't be so high!
Why don't you go find the other apostles?
Tell him to get lost!
Have you been bewitched by him? Or are you blinded by dog poop?
As their words became increasingly outrageous, some viewers who couldn't stand it stood up for them.
I've observed the live streams of people from Zhongzhou, and they're not actually as bad as politicians portray them to be...
The system targets players because it wants to kill us. Also, don't talk like that; it's visible to other continents and makes you seem very rude and ill-mannered.
However, due to the smear campaigns and slanders by politicians and systems from other continents, most viewers have not had a good impression of the people of Middle-earth.
The rebuttals and clarifications were gradually suppressed, while extreme, provocative comments filled the entire live stream room.
They knew that the Twelfth Apostle could see the barrage of comments, so they strongly urged the boy to speak up, beat up the Middle-earth man in front of him, and forbid him from climbing the tower!
The foul language in the live chat interrupted the boy's words. He looked up and met the camera lens.
Those who maliciously incited the audience's emotions smiled with satisfaction as they saw that they had finally attracted the attention of the Twelfth Apostle.
Until the boy called out their real names without missing a single one: "Isaac Bell, Hornby J. George, Senal Anderson."
"Did Noah's Ark give you a mission to come to my live stream specifically to slander the people of Zhongzhou?"
The three men's faces changed drastically, turning deathly pale in an instant.
The live stream fell silent again, followed by an explosive increase in comments, all filled with shock and anger.
Noah's Ark? They are the people from Noah's Ark!
These damned lunatic cultists! How did they reappear?!
Go find their location quickly!! Report them to the alliance!
No wonder the group of foreign viewers were so furious.
Noah's Ark is a notorious anti-redemption faction that claims the arrival of the Infinite Game is the biblical flood that will destroy the world, a purification and cleansing of humanity from the earth.
The 300 million survivors are already the result of a selection process; we should not go against God's will and forcibly try to bring back the previous generation.
Hearing this, you might think that the world is pretty much the same everywhere, with anti-redemption factions, apocalyptic factions, and new human evolution factions in every continent.
Some people callously believe that the reason they had suffered so much before was because Earth's resources were scarce and not evenly distributed.
Now that we've cut back by more than half, the remaining people can live a more comfortable life, isn't that perfect?
Just like the O-bad in "The Revenge of O-League".
There are quite a few people who choose to passively progress through the game, slack off, or indulge in entertainment to the point of death. However, the approach taken by [Noah's Ark] is far from harmless.
First, they created a large-scale casualty incident in the dungeon, wiping out teams that had a chance to clear it. Then, they secretly kidnapped high-potential players and used various sinister tools to conduct inhumane human experiments.
Someone was photographed when they risked their life to escape.
The victim was soaked in blood, his wounds festering and oozing foul-smelling pus. His hands and feet were pieced together with the grotesque limbs of a monster, suggesting some kind of assembly experiment.
The most terrifying thing is the numerous surgical scars all over my body. Suddenly, the scars burst open, and countless round, slippery eyeballs popped out, looking around in terror.
The victim could no longer scream; he became mentally unstable, his eyes glazed over, and he fainted from convulsions.
The horrific scene terrified the surrounding players, leaving them utterly horrified.
At first, they thought the people of Noah's Ark were just mentally unstable, but now everyone is terrified, filled with extreme hatred and disgust.
Seeing that things were not going well, the three men turned to run away.
Unexpectedly, the twelfth apostle then accurately reported their audience seat coordinates and specific appearances. The nearby audience swarmed them, forcibly dragging the three panicked individuals out of the live broadcast area and handing them over to the Alliance.
If it weren't for the prohibition against attacks, they would have wanted to wipe out these scumbags on the way.
After the three were sent away, the noisy live stream fell into an awkward silence, as most people had been successfully incited and joined in the jeers and criticism of the Central Plains people.
However, before they could apologize or try to save face, the expressionless Little Sheep suddenly raised his hand and slammed the live stream shut down.
He started the live stream because he had been waiting for too long and wanted to get the latest news about Xie Xubai.
Now that the person has arrived, there's no need to do a live stream anymore.
The viewers, caught completely off guard and kicked out of the live stream: ...
A chorus of mournful cries immediately followed.
However, they were even more curious about who White really was. After all, everyone knew how bad Little Sheep's temper was. No matter how strong or weak the people he encountered were, he always seemed uninterested and indifferent. But he showed a different kind of closeness to White.
But how do viewers from other continents obtain information about players from Central Continent?
They looked at each other.
Viewers who had previously worked or traveled to Zhongzhou could easily find themselves clicking on the live stream of the top guild leader of Zhongzhou District by following the popularity rankings.
As luck would have it, the broadcast was showing several elite players teaming up to clear out a monster horde. Their clean and efficient killing moves left many viewers who wanted to switch to other streams stunned and wide-eyed.
"Ohhhh! So cool!!"
It was only then that they realized that the people of Central Continent were not as weak as they had imagined.
The spectacular battle scenes are like igniting a chain reaction of chemicals. Change happens in the instant when beliefs waver.
After hesitating for several seconds, the viewers from other continents finally couldn't resist and secretly clicked on the live stream from the Central Continent. They were still composed for the first few minutes, but after the next ten minutes, they were assimilated by the enthusiastic comments and couldn't help but cheer for the various powerful and ingenious operations!
The world finally quieted down. The little lamb looked at Xie Xubai, its tired, sleepy eyes suddenly brightening: "White, could you...?"
Suddenly, the entire space shook!
Xie Xubai realized almost instantly that this was caused by the fusion of the instances due to the breaking of the spatial barrier.
But something was wrong, because several blurry figures suddenly appeared in the previously empty space.
Those are players from another instance—not newbies or beginners, but advanced players who have survived several days of extreme challenges!
But after these few figures, more than a dozen more figures appeared one after another, and they didn't stop, but kept increasing!
There were too many people. Xie Xubai immediately felt something was wrong. Why were they all gathered on this floor of the tower passage after the fusion?
He suddenly remembered something and looked at the boy: "Little Lamb, could it be that you..."
Like a duck that was about to be caught suddenly growing wings and flying away, the lamb's eyes were dull and its face was devoid of smiles. It could only grit its teeth at the sudden change that had interrupted its important sleep: "I have gained the authority of the gatekeeper BOSS of this level."
