Ghost Island
"Open it up, don't be impulsive!"
Witt's words made Kaishi give up his plan to kill people.
He is a super god, and even though he can cut through a group of mid- and low-level players, the guild agreement has been signed by the four major camps. If he kills too many Ghost Island players, the conflict will not only be limited to Longyan and Ghost Island Guild, but will be escalated to the entire server.
The item has been snatched away. The only thing to do now is to check the clues in the wooden box immediately and put an end to everyone's nonsense.
However, Kaili found that he could not open the box.
He held the double-edged knife in one hand and pushed the lid of the box with the other, but the lid didn't budge at all.
No, this is not the weight of wood at all, this is an iron box with a wood veneer!
The brief pause allowed him to take countless hits from his skills, and the active and passive defensive lights engulfed his figure.
When the light faded a little, a dazzling diamond bullet shot towards his forehead.
He dodged by rolling over.
However, the bullet suddenly stopped and blossomed into a spinning orchid, like a boomerang, cutting towards his neck.
Kaichen quickly held Lanhua with a double-edged knife.
A figure flashed by, and his left hand was empty. Lanhua Pao's smiling voice reached his ears: "This is mine, little dwarf."
Bang! The diamond orchid was smashed to pieces by the heavy sword.
Witt stopped in front of the orchid cannon: "I can't give you the clue."
In a flash, the Orchid Cannon was attacked from both sides by Witt and Open Ripper.
The two ignored the skills of the players who hit them from behind and flew towards the Orchid Cannon at the same time.
Orchid Gunner. The gun turned, and a bullet jumped out quickly, causing him to disappear from his original position and appear in mid-air.
"Weiwei, are you trying to steal my things again?"
His smile turned cold and his expression suddenly froze.
He also found that the box could not be opened.
But there was a sound of objects hitting the box walls, so there was indeed something inside.
Lanhua Pao grabbed with his five fingers, and suddenly strong muscles bulged out from his tight leather jacket, and he actually grabbed the box on all four sides and made it collapse inside.
However, the lid of the box remained unopened.
Another flower blossomed at his side, wrapping around his entire left arm.
At the same time, Ripper and Witte jumped up at the same time.
The Orchid Cannon fired a bang, sending the Thousand Flowers Stick flying. He glanced at Zhencha who was hidden in the crowd.
He threw the tin box away with his Popeye-like arm.
"Khan!"
The iron box shot straight towards the parking area.
Seeing this, Kairi gave up the orchid cannon, threw out the double-edged sword, stepped on the heads of several players, jumped onto the spinning blade, and chased after them.
Witt blocked the orchid cannon's path with his heavy sword and took a quick glance.
In the crowd, Zhencha's identity was exposed because of his skill in blocking the Orchid Cannon, and he was immediately besieged by Ghost Island players and fled in embarrassment.
Outside the crowd, Kai Ri's sprint speed was faster than the iron box. He stretched out a hand and was about to grab the box when a black shadow came towards him and headed straight for his forehead.
The black shadow suddenly exploded into a ball of fire.
Kaiche recognized that it was Khan's blue fire crossbow, which had extremely high damage, and quickly activated active defense to resist it.
At the same time, he sank his feet and avoided the explosion area.
When the vision returned, Khan was seen grabbing the iron box and falling back into the thermal ship in the berth area.
"Look what the clue is!" Lanhua Pao shouted from a distance.
The Khan took a look at the deformed iron box in his hand.
"Stop it!" Kaili threw the double-edged knife at him.
Khan activated the fire crossbow skill, scratched the bottom edge of the box lid with a sharp iron arrowhead, and gently pushed the lid open with his thumb.
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell on his face.
On the second floor of the trading area, An Rou caught Khan's action and immediately said, "Now!"
Suddenly, a golden light appeared between heaven and earth, enveloping the entire Black Market Island like lightning.
In the magnificent world, all buildings and ships disappeared, and the skill light that spread throughout the square stopped.
The ghost technique "Golden Deception".
Unprepared, every pair of eyes that saw the golden light would drag its owner into a dream of nothingness.
The players stood there like puppets, with a drunken smile slowly pulling out of the corners of their mouths.
Except for the five super gods.
Witt, Kairi, and Orchid Cannon opened their eyes wide and looked at the light screen that popped up in front of them.
[Quest Name: Is this the paradise you are looking for? Are you sure?]
[Mission Location: Black Market Island No. 7, Yong'an Farm]
[Ghoul Level: SSS]
【Number of Ghouls: 11/11】
【Time limit: None】
[Difficulty Rating: SSS]
The next second, the number of ghouls jumped and became [10/11].
Orchid Cannon suddenly looked up at the parking area and found the only other color in the gold coin space - the milky white color after the soul card was activated.
Why does Khan use soul cards?
His soul was eaten by the ghoul!
The light from the soul card enveloped Khan's entire body and slowly gathered into his body.
The white light disappeared, and a □□ fell from his face.
This... is a ghoul?
Even Khan was stunned for a moment, then his body stiffened again. Within seconds, the soul song echoed in his mind once again.
He also has soul cards in his inventory.
But he couldn't activate it.
The ghoul lurking behind him did not devour his soul.
"Is this the parasite of a top master? That's amazing!"
He heard himself say.
The voice was not loud, but in the dead silent gold coin space, every word was clearly heard by the other three super gods.
"S-rank ghoul?" Kairi was closest, triggering the ghoul identification function immediately. He frowned, "How could it be only S-rank?"
Witt: "It might just be one of the Yongan ghouls. Don't hesitate, kill it first! Orchid Cannon, Wuliza, cooperate?"
Lanhua Pao and Wuliza glanced at the Ghost Island players in the square who were bewitched by the ghost magic and nodded decisively.
If left unchecked, this would be the largest ghoul wave ever to hit Onigashima.
In the independent space created by Jinhuo, it seemed as if everything except people had disappeared.
But An Rou, who was on the second floor of the official trading area, could still see the scene outside the window.
She boldly opened the curtains and looked out at the square with her empty eyes.
The omission that Jie Xin hinted at should be the current situation: the ghost technique "Golden Deception" is ineffective against super-god players.
Otherwise, the whole plan would be incredibly simple and wouldn't require so many steps.
As for the beast that was gnawing at the Khan's soul—that was the third demonic technique that Wen Wenwen had awakened, "Alien Life."
All ghouls can only parasitize humans, but Wen Wenwen can turn animals other than humans into ghoul seeds.
In An Rou's plan, the one who gets the box must be a super god, and the target of the □□'s bite is naturally also a super god.
But this alone is not enough.
The Super God could not be bewitched by the Golden Delusion, and Khan activated the Soul Card to replenish his soul as soon as possible.
So An Rou prepared a backup plan: dig an underground passage and let Meng Ziyu hide in it.
When Khan activates his soul card, he sneaks behind him and takes the opportunity to parasitize him.
Just like Mad Blade in the trial area, no matter how many soul cards he has, he is helpless against simple parasitism.
The third step of the plan was completed as scheduled, and the next step was the fourth step - killing.
"The ghost magic space can be broken by attacking. Let's all attack one place together!"
After Witt finished speaking, the heavy sword spun at high speed and was pressed into the ground by him.
As expected, a layer of unstable water light appeared in the gold coin space.
Orchid Cannon aimed his gun at the same place and was about to pull the trigger when a burst of "clucking" sounds suddenly came over.
A flock of...chickens?
Ghost Island relies heavily on food imports, and few islands raise livestock.
Lanhua Pao was stunned.
The chickens fluttered and scattered among the crowd.
Witt suddenly realized: "Oh no! The orchid cannon is fast!"
He woke up too late.
The chickens flapped their wings and pecked at the players' faces. In the blink of an eye, the frozen figures began to move.
In the mission details, the number of ghouls began to rise sharply.
"You guys can use your magic to break the ghost, and I'll be responsible for killing the chicken!" Kaiche shouted.
He threw the double-edged sword, and the cold light swirled among the crowd.
The chickens screamed, and the noisy little animals fell down at once.
However, they began to change wildly.
The feathers fell out, and countless hardened bone spurs grew on the wings. These spurs had their own attack power, easily breaking through the passive defenses of low-level players.
Without flapping its wings, it can bite into the soul.
Kaiche activated the double-edged sword skill without hesitation, and the sword body was broken into two parts in the middle, shooting towards the living chicken and the dead chicken respectively.
Wuliza also moved, holding a double-barreled gun and dodging the flock of chickens while firing accurately.
The orchid cannon pulled the trigger and the diamond bullet shot towards the golden ground.
A black shadow flashed, and a crossbow arrow knocked the bullet away.
Meng Ziyu raised the fire crossbow in his hand and smiled: "The attack range is very large."
Enough to cover the entire Black Market Island.
Orchid Cannon narrowed his eyes.
This was the first time he was challenged by a mere S-rank ghoul.
Players' levels differ based on their attributes, while their attack power depends on their weapons. Higher-level players can use more energy-intensive weapon skills.
Strictly speaking, even if the other party is parasitic in Khan's body, the "energy value" possessed by the S-level ghoul cannot be compared with that of him, a super god.
Especially Khan's fire crossbow and his diamond pistol, both are blue weapons.
Orchid Cannon quickly assessed the situation and realized that it would not be difficult to kill this S-level ghoul. As long as he used his skills a few more times and exhausted the opponent's energy, he could kill it easily.
He quickly glanced at Witt: "Leave it to you!"
He raised his diamond pistol and fired at Meng Ziyu continuously.
Seeing that Lanhua Pao chose to attack fiercely but did not close the distance, An Rou warned Meng Ziyu: "He wants to fight a war of attrition. Don't fall for his trick."
Meng Ziyou dodged and ran away, diving into the crowd from the other side. He dodged bullets while devouring the players' souls.
An Rou: [Gentle and capable of controlling objects with ghostly magic.]
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard in the square.
Witt had just drawn his heavy sword and was about to use a skill with higher attack power when he instinctively dodged to the side.
With a bang, something invisible and huge fell on his original position, and its outline gradually emerged.
It's a thermal boat.
At the bottom of the boat, several players were crushed to pieces, their exposed heads vomiting blood as they quickly lost their lives.
The sound of breaking air came from all directions.
Witt jumped high, stepped on one thermal ship after another based on his feeling, and dodged one invisible attack after another.
Like him, the other three super gods were also dodging, jumping higher and higher, their brows furrowed more and more.
Wuliza suddenly pointed upwards: "Look!"
The outlines of two thermal vessels appeared at the golden ceiling of the space. They appeared to be ships that had just arrived at the black market. The people aboard stared at the golden light, and then both the people and the vessels disappeared.
People outside have no idea what happened on the island.
Wuliza raised his head and fired a shot.
A circle of water ripples appeared where the top was hit, and after the bullet had consumed its propulsion force, it fell down helplessly.
"The entire space is sealed!" he shouted.
Witt and Ripper looked at each other, activated their skills in tacit understanding, and attacked the same place on the ground.
The heavy sword smashed down like a massive weight.
The double-edged sword's Moon Wheel Slash followed closely behind.
But just when the two were about to touch the ground, there was a bang, and the airflow generated by the violent explosion made them lose their accuracy.
A thermal boat exploded, and debris and flames instantly engulfed dozens of lives.
Meng Ziyu stood on the periphery with a playful smile, raised his fire crossbow, and then aimed at another crashed thermal ship.
The chain of exploding fireworks blocked everyone's view, making it impossible to see the unconscious players inside.
They not only lost consciousness, but at this moment, they either turned into ghouls or died.
I'm afraid that many players who don't know what happened will immediately choose to resurrect and go online, and then face death again.
"Damn it, they want to kill us all!" Kaili cursed.
Wuliza dodged an invisible ship and said, "We must find the ghoul boss. He controls the space and thermal ships!"
The orchid cannon stands in the diamond orchid transformed from a bullet. The orchid has wind elements and swings automatically with the flow of air.
It was easiest for him to dodge collisions and he had enough time to observe the battlefield.
"That lighthouse, it's in the very center of the island!"
The others understood what he meant.
The gold coin space was formed so quickly, which meant that the ghoul who cast the ghost spell was most likely hiding in the center of the space.
The orchid cannon fired multiple bullets rapidly.
Every bullet exploded midway, and countless small orchids fell like snowflakes, reflecting the flames of the explosion, and it was like a wave of gorgeous red rain.
Red rain enveloped the lighthouse and exploded simultaneously.
The metal structure of the lighthouse slowly collapsed with a harsh, teeth-grinding sound.
But the attacks from all sides did not stop.
Witt narrowed his eyes. "It's hidden in the foundation stone under the lighthouse. I'll come."
He kicked off the invisible ship, his body rose again, and his head clearly touched a layer of hard object.
It seems that I can only jump this high inside the light shield.
Gentleman's Hand, final skill, judgment.
The ant in the sky suddenly turned into a giant, holding a conjured heavy sword and stabbing towards the location of the lighthouse.
He attracted the attention of the other three.
And this is exactly what An Rou wants.
[Baobao, it's your turn.]
Ghost magic, traveling at night.
Witt's vision suddenly darkened.
In less than a blink of an eye, the thick black fog completely engulfed the gold coin space. Countless white lightning bolts appeared all around, striking everyone simultaneously with lightning speed.
Wu Lishi was the weakest, and his defense was broken first. He was stabbed deeply in the back, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.
The diamond orchid wrapped in the orchid cannon was also shattered into pieces by the strike of lightning.
He wanted to shoot a bullet to save Wuliza, but several more lightning bolts came towards him.
Wuliza disappeared into the darkness.
All the lightning flashed at the same time, as if its power increased.
This amplification was extremely deadly at the critical moment, causing the Orchid Cannon's lightning-resistant bullets to shatter prematurely. One of the lightning bolts struck his chest, breaking his active defense.
Lanhua Pao was not injured, but he fell into a dark abyss without realizing it.
In the last moments of his life, he cried out for help—"Old ghost!"
It doesn't help.
Kaiche was also hit, but fortunately the double-edged sword in the air split into two, the white blade blocked a lightning, and the black blade supported his body.
He looked down in astonishment and vaguely heard the sound of the orchid cannon, but did not see the figures of him and Wuliza.
Lanhua Pao and Wuliza, the two super gods of Onigashima, are dead?
In reality... he's also dead?
In a trance, he heard the roar of the Witte Giant: "Rip it open!"
A crossbow arrow exploded beneath Kaiche's body.
The disembowelment disappeared into the black mist like a kite with a broken string.
He soon reappeared and looked at Witt from a distance.
"Together!"
The sword of judgment falls.
Moon Wheel Slash followed closely behind.
There was an angry and frightened voice in An Rou's mind.
[They attacked me together, why didn't they save me!]
[You said you would kill them at the critical moment!]
That was a gentle voice, its body hidden in the stone foundation of the lighthouse. Beneath its feet were the support pillars of its exclusive territory—Black Market Island No. 7.
An Rou's voice was cold: [Sorry, humans have deceived you again.]
Wen Wenwen: [An Rou!!!]
The whistling sound of the wind around suddenly stopped.
Beneath the black fog, there was a continuous sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, followed by a series of violent explosions.
The violent wind dispersed the black fog, and in the sea of fire below, a huge body roared and rose up, like a beast from hell.
There was a glint of fire in its red eyes as it looked up at the extremely fragrant soul in the sky.
"Is that it?"
His face was half covered in blood, his chest was torn open, and he looked miserable, with a look of daze in his eyes for a moment.
Witt did not answer.
Open the chest: "Witt, come again!"
The moon rose into the sky, emitting black and white light.
The giant also lifted up the gentleman's heavy sword, and the palm-shaped gem on the cross guard sparkled.
The two of them once again formed a combined attack, landing on the SSS-level Berserker Ghoul below.
With an unwilling roar, the ghoul exploded into endless gold coins, blocking the view.
However, at this moment, several silent lightning bolts gathered behind the opening of the chest.
Kaishi was completely unaware and laughed at Witt: "We killed it, Witt, we succeeded!"
In return, Witt yelled in horror: "Behind!"
The lightning passed through his chest, so thick that it almost cut him in half.
He lowered his eyes and watched the blood and broken internal organs gushing out of the broken body.
A black hole suddenly appeared in the raging fire under his feet, as if welcoming his remaining body.
I'm going to... die?
This realization flashed through his mind, and he began to fall.
"Open up!"
Compared to opening the chest, Witt's advantage is that he doesn't have to let go of the weapon.
Witt suddenly raised his heavy sword and chopped it down from top to bottom.
It was still the final move, "Judgment", but its power was completely different from the previous ones.
He poured all his energy into it, activating the high-level martial arts space—a battlefield with fluttering cross flags, and successfully tore a rift in the black fog.
[Baobao, don’t take it head-on!] An Rou hurriedly instructed.
However, what Witte swung with his heavy sword was not the black hole below the chest, but the chest itself, and he used not the blade but the sword body.
Without any sound, the creature was blown away by the violent impact and its body went straight through the crack.
Unexpected results.
Is this skill of Witt meant to save Kaiche?
An Rou hesitated for only a moment before immediately giving the order: [Bao Bao, now is the time, hilt!]
In the black fog, countless lightning bolts suddenly surged out from all directions, and the target of the attack was not the giant Witt, but the heavy sword in his hand.
The hollowed heavy sword cannot harm entities other than ghouls. Similarly, it can only be harmed by ghouls' attacks.
The bone blade and the bone knife successfully cut the heavy sword into three parts. The black hole in the sea of fire suddenly jumped up and swallowed the middle part in one gulp.
An Rou observed clearly that there was a person in the gem at the junction of the hilt and the blade.
That is Werther's true form.
The black hole disappeared in an instant.
Countless void tentacles surged towards Witt, eroding the flawless radiance of the gem.
Witt also had a soul card in his inventory, but for some reason, he didn't use it.
He quietly looked at the soul light spots that were as bright as the Milky Way in the black void, and he never thought that the terrifying ghoul that devoured souls also had such a beautiful side.
Tomorrow is the day Ali will be buried.
"I'm sorry, brother." He whispered softly.
No more deaths.
He didn't want anyone else to die in the game, to die in the divine revelation that all countries tried so hard to keep secret.
This mission, investigating the cause of Ali's death... was wrong from the beginning.
President Lu deceived everyone.
——Sha Bi Si died. Although it was not a sudden death, he only had time to say a few words after waking up before being declared brain dead.
He shouldn't have been so stubborn in pursuing the case, shouldn't have accepted the position of leader of the joint team, and shouldn't have been blinded by anger.
I shouldn't have agreed to my brother's request and brought him into the game.
"Brother is here."
Witt calmly watched the tentacles sink into his body, a brilliant starry sky reflected in his eyes.
"Brother will go with you, don't blame me, okay?"
"Werther—"
He rushed out of the light shield with his chest opened, but his low health allowed him to only shout out once before he lost consciousness.
Outside the light shield, the two guild support teams that had been lying in ambush for a long time lifted the insulating pads on their heads in response.
Before my eyes, the blue light shield of the Black Market Island was the same as usual.
Behind him, it was as if someone fell into the water, causing a crackling flash of lightning.
"Team leader, is there something wrong inside?"
Elric looked up and saw a thermal ship heading for the black market circling above the light shield. He was also startled by the heart-wrenching shout and circled around, not daring to go in.
Players on the ship spotted the support group.
"Why are there so many people?"
"...Looks like a guild blockade."
"Is there a mission on the Black Market Island? A ghoul tide?!"
…
Without having to listen, Elric knew what the players were guessing.
Now that he has been exposed, there is no point in continuing to hide.
He ordered the pilot to fly the thermal boat and shouted, "Mission blocked! Black Market Island No. 7 is off-limits! Everyone, leave immediately!"
Then send a message to the Atan Guild.
【Elric: Do it.】
[Tengger: Get started.]
The team leaders on both sides issued orders, and the members circling the island acted simultaneously, driving the thermal boat into the light shield.
Heat waves brushed across my face.
They saw an infernal fire and light.
Lightning flashed in the sea of fire, and the crowd wailed in the lightning.
They fled in a panic, but no matter where they hid or jumped, there was always a bright white lightning that followed and pierced through their bodies.
Blood and gold coins were spilled endlessly.
The player's fireworks of annihilation exploded one after another.
All members of the support team were stunned until they heard their team leader yelling.
Elric: "Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
Tengri: "Call for support! Send a message immediately for support. Ghost Island is on level one alert!"
However, the flustered support team found that they couldn't get out at all.
Only a few thermal ships that did not have time to follow were blocked outside the light shield and survived.
"Organize resistance!"
Elric's roar caused everyone to turn around. Lightning and fire flashed in their wide eyes, rushing towards them.
Official trading area.
No matter how fierce the battle outside was, the curved building remained intact.
An Rou stood in front of the window, expressionless: "Bao Bao, speed up."
She suddenly turned around and her eyes became clear again.
A black line broke through the window from behind.
Finally it appeared, ink removal.
Those dark eyes showed no sign of hiding their disgust, and his voice was hoarse: "You want to kill everyone?"
An Rou raised the corner of her lips in a mocking arc: "Otherwise? Didn't you and Jie Xin go to great lengths to bring me here?"
Her expression suddenly changed into realization: "Oh, yes, disembowelment, right? Disembowelment without death, and it doesn't satisfy you? This is not my fault."
"Blame me."
Jie Xin appeared beside Chu Mo, gently stroking the sleeves of his snow-white robe.
"It was me who failed to block Witte's sword, allowing him to escape with his chest ripped open. If necessary, can I fish him out from the bottom of the sea?"
Chu Mo looked at Jie Xin with the same hatred.
Jie Xin smiled indifferently and shook his head slightly.
The ink removal turned into a black line again, this time piercing through the ceiling and disappearing into the night.
An Rou looked at the big hole in the ceiling and then at Jie Xin.
Xie Xin pointed out the window and said, "With so much wealth delivered to our doorstep, is that enough to compensate us?"
An Rou smiled: "If Mr. Xie says it's enough, then it's enough."
Jie Xin responded with a warm smile as always.
However, An Rou saw fear in his eyes for the first time.
"Wen Wenwen's ghost technique is so useful, I didn't expect the farmer to abandon it... so easily."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jie."
An Rou was too lazy to hide her vigilance towards him. "They are just people sent by Mr. Xie. An Rou dares to use them temporarily, but not forever. I only trust my own people."
"That little guy, is he one of us?"
"What do you think, Mr. Xie?"
"If the farmer says so, then so be it."
Xie Xin said this and disappeared.
Paopao came out from behind the curtain and frowned at the place where Jie Xin had been standing before.
After learning from his boss's analysis that Wen Wenwen was the ghoul boss arranged by Jie Xin, he retained some doubts.
Because he couldn't figure out how a player could manipulate a top-level ghoul?
Unless you have a bug like your boss.
"Boss, is Jie Xin really Zhan Xingce?" he asked hesitantly, "Could he also be an NPC who has entered the game?"
"Whether it's Zhan Xingce or not, you'll know soon."
"ha?"
"Next stop, we'll go to the Spirit Realm."
Paopao was confused: "Why?"
An Rou smiled and said, "We can't go back to Lengbing City, and we can't stay on Ghost Island. The Land of No Life is just a large plain. Staying there is no different from being a sitting duck. Where else can we go?"
"Empty Valley, Spiritual Realm...Oh yes, there is a Chaos Star Array in the Spiritual Realm." Paopao nodded.
An Rou didn't let him let his thoughts wander and asked, "What did you find?"
Paopao remembered something important and quickly turned on the screen: "Just now, after Witt used his last skill, a large number of posts suddenly appeared on the forum, and no one responded."
An Rou glanced at it twice.
The post titles include one about an auction on the Black Market Island, one about a fight between Onigashima and Longyan, and one about a massive ghoul wave breaking out.
The number of replies in the lower right corner of each post is growing rapidly.
"It should be Witte who broke through the blockade of the area under Xin."
An Rou seemed to be lost in thought, and before she could ponder it, she ordered Bao Fu, "Bao Fu, cut down the pillars and leave immediately."
Suddenly, a violent metal collision sound was heard outside, so loud that it completely drowned out the wailing of the surviving players.
She glanced out the window and looked at Paopao: "There's still a lot left, why don't you go and get some experience?"
"go!"
Paopao opened the window and jumped down.
[Meng Ziyu, protect Paopao.]
[Baobao, pick out the ones with strong flavors and kill them, no, just eat them directly.]
[Zhang Da, retreat and go appease the residents. Remember to change your clothes.]
There was only one super god left on the battlefield—Khan. But he was being parasitized by Meng Ziyou, so there was no need to worry for the time being. There were still two or three other great gods left, but none of them were a match for the rich.
The fate of Black Market Island has been decided.
The last step of the plan: run away.
As the sound of metal collision stopped, the ground began to tremble slightly, and then quickly stabilized.
An Rou knew that Guishu Yexing had already flown into the sky carrying the entire "island".
She did not leave the room, but took the opportunity to catch some clues and analyze them calmly.
Wen Wenwen's death, Witt's final act of saving Kaiche, Jie Xin's doubts, and Qi Mo's reaction...
Everything seems to point to a mystery - Jie Xin.
In An Rou's plan, Wen Wenwen was destined to die.
She didn't have time to care about the tragic experience of a ghoul. Its appearance was due to Jie Xin - this determined its fate.
Even without the help of Witt and the Ripper, An Rou still wanted to kill it, even though its ghost magic was indeed very useful.
The question Xie Xin asked just proved that her judgment was correct. The Ghost King wanted her to keep Wen Wenwen, and he thought she would keep Wen Wenwen.
An Rou hopes to have more SSS-level ghouls under her command, but Wen Wenwen's is obviously a time bomb.
Can't stay.
The question now is, why did Jie Xin place a ghoul next to her?
An Rou recalled the fleeting look of fear in his eyes.
She has always believed that Chu Mo had another purpose in approaching the farm, which was to open the ghost ruins and kill Li Xin.
As for Jie Xin...he relied on his status as the Ghost King and just came to play together.
Now it seems that is not necessarily the case.
What is Xie Xin’s purpose in approaching me?
An Rou tapped the windowsill lightly with her fingers and sneered silently.
Regardless of her purpose, she is no longer the one who just walked out of Zhongsu Town, nor is she the top ghoul who has just been upgraded to SSS.
Jie Xin's method of sealing off the Black Market Island and blocking all communications can be broken.
Sven Tovit gave a good demonstration.
In this case, if a conflict really occurs, the rich may not be completely powerless to fight back.
Another question is, why did Sventovit turn his attack on the rich into a means of saving his own body before he died?
That resolute aura, and the astonished and unwilling roar of the disemboweled... It was as if what they experienced was not a farewell in the virtual world, but a real separation of life and death in reality.
This one is not logical and is buried very deeply.
If Jie Xin hadn't said those words about "luck", An Rou wouldn't have taken it to heart.
She couldn't help but look at the players fleeing in panic on the battlefield.
The hand on the windowsill suddenly exerted force, and its nails dug into the gap between the tiles.
Virtual and reality, life and death together?
Is it possible?
An Rou wanted to rule out this possibility from the bottom of her heart, but Chu Mo's question made her feel uneasy.
You want to kill everyone?
Kill them all, everyone...
It's just a game qualification. As for asking this specifically for the number one who is so frugal with words?
Unless...it involves human life.
An Rou opened her lips slightly.
A figure jumped in through the window, it was Paopao covered in blood.
"Boss, the forum exploded."
"…What exploded?"
"Forum! Everyone's talking about Sventovit failing the exam, as well as Orchid Cannon, Wuliza, and Enke... Mainly, Orchid Cannon is having some troubles. I saw someone say Old Ghost is going to explode. Boss, do you know who Old Ghost is?"
Another figure jumped up and knocked Paopao into the room.
"Old Ghost, the fifth-ranked expert on the Destiny Ranking, his name is Gus. Lanhua Pao is his wife."
Paopao was stunned: "How do you know?"
Meng Ziyou nodded his head and said, "I was wondering how there could be such a disgusting sissy in the world. It turns out that he is a woman just like you.
"A long time ago, Orchid Cannon had another identity. He was also a top-ranked master, but he died at the hands of a top-tier ghoul."
Paopao suddenly realized, "You read Khan's memories? Holy crap, is Lanhua Pao so awesome? After failing the rankings, he used someone else's game qualification to climb back up to eleventh place?"
At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared outside the window.
Dense lightning struck, and all the screams stopped at the same time.
An Rou's absent-minded gaze froze for a moment, and she quickly turned her head to look. On the ground piled with corpses, wreckage of thermal ships, gold coins and various props, the bone knife that had suddenly become rich slowly retracted into the ground.
All dead.
More than 3,000 players who entered the black market island to trade, and the two major guilds that finally poured in from outside the island for support, a total of nearly 4,000 people, all died.
Most of them turned into a pile of rewards, and only a small number of them had their souls not devoured, leaving behind corpses.
"Boss, boss?"
Paopao put the back of his hand on her forehead and quickly took out a life potion.
"Boss, are you okay? You're sweating a lot. Is this too much mental stress?"
An Rou pushed the potion away and suddenly felt a slight chill from head to toe.
If virtuality and reality really coexist and die together, what is she doing?
No, that doesn't make sense...
Furthermore, when Chu Mo looked at Jie Xin, Jie Xin shook his head... That shake of the head must have meant something, which made Chu Mo turn around and leave.
"Run, log off immediately."
Paopao was stunned by her frighteningly bright eyes and said hesitantly, "Log off... log off?"
An Rou took a deep breath and said, "Yes, let's check if any of the players we killed offline are...are there any who are also dead in real life."
-
Holographic command center.
Kaiche was retching as he ran, and his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.
He used the resurrection card and went online twice.
Every time he went online, he died within seconds due to high voltage electricity. His life value kept dropping and he had already fallen off the leaderboard.
He knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
A pair of leather shoes appeared in front of him and stepped on the sensor mark he left.
They were followed by a full medical team.
Several paramedics came forward and lifted him onto a stretcher.
"Heart rate and blood pressure are normal."
"Brain waves are normal."
…
Shi Xi was just breathing a sigh of relief when suddenly a wet hand grabbed his arm.
"Witt, how's Witt?"
Shi Xi was looking into Kaiche's eyes, which were shrinking continuously. The last bit of air was stuck in his chest and couldn't come out.
After looking at each other for a moment, he held the hand that had opened the chest and put it back on the stretcher.
"Have a good rest. Someone will come to take your report in a while."
Then he walked away.
Kairi shouted from behind, "Where's Zhencha?! Zhencha is also on the island!"
Shi Xizheng disappeared at the end of the corridor without any pause.
Before he even returned to the office, the secretary came up to him and said, "President, President Gal is waiting to be connected. President Feili and President Yatan of Guidao are also requesting an emergency connection."
Shi Xizheng swayed a little and grabbed the wall in time.
"A Zheng!"
Wei Gang hurried over, frowned when he saw this, and took Shi Xizheng from the secretary.
"Go and inform them. Anyone who wants to connect should bring a report. Anyone without a report will be rejected!"
Secretary: “Yes!”
Wei Gang peeled off a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Shi Xizheng's mouth.
"How are you going to deal with other guilds like this?"
Shi Xizheng then ate obediently and drank half a cup of hot water. His pale face finally showed some color.
He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows hard.
"Old Wei, what's going on?"
Wei Gang hesitated to speak, and finally told the intelligence that the Dragon Breath Group had gathered from its presence in other countries.
"A secret ghoul wave broke out on Black Market Island No. 7 last night. The news was blocked by Philip and Yatan, so the two guilds clashed with the joint group without knowing it.
"According to the inaccurate data we've collected so far, the Philippine Synod has sent out a total of 523 execution teams, and the Athen Synod has sent out a total of 468 execution teams..."
"Are they all dead?" Shi Xizheng suddenly raised his eyes.
Wei Gang hurriedly shook his head: "No, the only ones who died suddenly outside of the game were Super God, Ranking 11 Lanhua Pao, Ranking 18 Wuliza, and... Sventovit."
Shi Xizheng was unsure: "Only three? The others wouldn't be like Shabi Four, who lost vital signs after waking up?"
"I'm not sure about that. The Dragon Breath Group doesn't know every detail."
Wei Gang paused and suggested, "This matter can no longer be suppressed at the guild level. Xi Zheng, report it."
The phone rang at the right moment.
Shi Xizheng and Wei Gang looked at each other and pressed the hands-free button.
The secretary's worried voice came: "President, the National Defense has notified an emergency meeting and requires you and Team Leader Wei to connect immediately."
…
By the time the meeting ended, it was already three in the morning.
Shi Xizheng and Wei Gang looked at each other with serious expressions, without saying a word.
The silence was broken by the vibration of the phone. Shi Xi was looking at the screen, frowning, and answered the call.
"Brother, why did you answer the phone just now? Are you still busy?"
Shi Xizheng glanced at Wei Gang and lowered his voice: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"Oh... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you died in the game. I smashed the game cabin but couldn't wake you up, so I called to ask... I'm glad you're okay, brother."
Shi Xizheng was stunned, silent for a moment, and said softly: "Go to bed early and don't think too much."
After hanging up, Wei Gang said, "Xi Zheng, what do you think of the two suggestions given above? Should we make them public or..."
“It cannot be made public.”
Shi Xi was gripping his phone tightly. "If too many people knew about the divine revelation, it would only make society uneasy. The crime rate is already too high. Old Wei, we can't start humanity's final carnival. I, we, can't be the sinners."
Wei Gang exhaled the foul air in his chest and nodded: "I think the same as you. Since it's a game, then the guild will step in to solve it."
Shi Xi was just putting down his phone, his eyes passed over the lunch box, and he picked up the phone.
"Are all three guilds waiting?"
Secretary: “Yes, President.”
"Okay, notify them to connect to the holographic conference immediately."
"What is the topic of the meeting?"
"Expanded meeting of the Yongan Joint Task Force." Shi Xizheng narrowed his eyes and instructed, "Prepare the confidentiality agreement."
