This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"Oh? You seem to hate this place? If you hate it so much, why are you so aggressive? Wouldn't it be better to leave quietly and out of sight?"

"Ms." asked a little casually while playing with the black gun in her hand.

"We, Apocalypse, do not welcome unknown visitors."

She continued calmly.

Ye Jiang sneered and responded immediately, his momentum not falling behind.

"You think I want to come here? If there wasn't a guy who was talking about my friend's safety, even if you people from Apocalypse invited me to come here, I wouldn't come."

As soon as he said these words, he saw the woman's fingertips turning the gun pause for a moment, and then, a hint of interest bloomed at the corner of her lips.

"Really? Your friend? If I kick you out of Tianqi now, wouldn't your friend be——"

She didn't finish her words, and she didn't miss the nervousness that flashed across the face of the seemingly crazy young man in front of her when she heard these words.

"...You can't do this. I really have something very important to do so I came to Tianqi to find such a person."

"This matter has nothing to do with me or you. You can indeed drive me out without listening to anything I say, but you must know the consequences of doing so."

Ye Jiang was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman in front of him again.

"Oh? What are the consequences?"

"Ms." was somewhat interested, so it was difficult for her to ask more questions.

"The consequences are... you will not get any substantial punishment, but there will be a very kind, very smart, and very loyal guy who will suffer harm that may remain in the real world because of your inaction and non-cooperation. .”

"I don't know, do you know about the spider lair incident? Maybe-"

Ye Jiang's words were interrupted by the "ma'am" who frowned slightly. He noticed that the tall woman in front of him had neatly retracted the gun in her hand, with a somewhat unhappy look on her face.

No, maybe it wasn't just pure displeasure, maybe it was mixed with something else, but before Ye Jiang could see clearly, the woman's next few words attracted all his attention.

She dismissed the members of the "Apocalypse" family who had followed, and raised her fingers towards Ye Jiang.

"It is indeed... quite serious consequences. Then, come with me and show me the person you are looking for. Maybe, I can help you with something."

The attitude of the woman called "Ms." changed so quickly that Ye Jiang was a little caught off guard, but it was a good result after all.

Therefore, Ye Jiang did not hesitate to follow the pace of "Ms." who was already walking towards the inside of "Apocalypse".

......

Zhongzhou, Sword Sect.

In the main hall, the place where "Mian" originally sat was already empty.

Jianliu stood under the stairs, looked around, and recalled memories in his eyes.

Soon two Sword Sect disciples came in and bowed in front of him.

"How's it going? Sister Aqiao...has there been any news?"

Jianliu asked softly.

Like the response many times before, the two Sword Sect disciples in front of them were stunned for a moment and then quickly shook their heads.

"Okay, let's go down."

The expected answer was that Jianliu stared blankly at the pillars in the hall, and after being lost in thought for a while, he waved his hand and let the two of them leave.

"No...that's not good, Jianshou! There's...there's a fight outside. It seems like they want...to break in!"

Another Sword Sect disciple walked in quickly with a slightly panicked expression, "Moreover...the two of them are strong and cooperate well. Even if many people from the player race and Sword Sect disciples try to stop them, they still seem to be... Being...chopping melons and vegetables."

"One of them seems to know some magic that can make it difficult to slow down a person's movements, while the other one is even more dangerous. Anyone who gets in front of him will be stabbed through with a knife."

As he spoke, the Sword Sect disciple couldn't help but stretched out his slightly trembling hand to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.

"...How could this happen...After the mission is released, the only one who can give players generous rewards is my sword sect. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be players doing such a thankless thing."

Hearing this, the young man with the sword behind his back frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on.

But soon, the mission announced by him personally brought him the only possible inspiration.

"I see--"

"If among the vast group of players, I find one person who is the most cruel to me, I'm afraid it's the guy... who I personally put under the sharp edge, right?"

"Shi Si, could it be you? Could this matter be caused by your instigation?"

Jian Liu murmured to himself.

"But I still can't figure it out. If it was Shi Si's instigation, how did he convince these two people to... work for him?"

Whispering, the young man with the sword behind his back looked at the Jian Sect disciple who came to report. He did not miss the fear and panic on the disciple's face that had not yet dissipated.

"Are these two people... really powerful?"

he asked.

In response to him, the disciples of the Sword Sect nodded quickly and affirmatively.

"It's just... like an evil spirit coming out of hell."

This Sword Sect disciple said so.

"..."

"Then, let me come and meet them."

After a moment of silence, the Sword Sect disciple felt a slight gust of wind in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the agile figure with the sword head appeared outside the main hall.

"Sword head, be careful——"

The Jianzong disciple looked at the straight and thin back, and couldn't help but remind him loudly with a worried look on his face.

He didn't know if Jian Shou heard what he said, but according to Jian Shou, the alliance leader "Mian" died in a plot by thieves. People like the alliance leader would die unexpectedly - as a disciple of Jian Zong, he didn't want Jian Shou to First, repeat the same mistakes.

Just when Jianliu's feet stepped out of the threshold, with a scream, the head of a Jianliu disciple rolled down to his feet. Soon, warm bright red stained his hem.

The pair of seemingly unblinking eyes were staring at him at the moment. The next moment, the head disappeared, and only the blood stains on the ground declared what kind of horrific massacre the Jian Sect had just experienced in front of the sect.

The surroundings are very quiet. Players who are nosy, players who like to take advantage of others, players who want to get involved, those who run away, those who return to the spawn point, most of them are actively or forced to do so. .. got a home.

The somewhat heavy breathing of the red-haired boy was particularly harsh in Jianliu's ears in this place that was forced to be emptied.

When he looked up, he saw a young man with long red hair standing in the center, his eyes red, and he seemed to be in a crazy state.

Beside him, the black-haired boy wearing silver-white glasses had a sullen face and maintained a strange fighting posture.

He was also seriously injured, but he seemed to be unaware of the wounds that were constantly seeping blood on his body. His whole person was as dull as a...puppet.

The long red-haired boy was panting, and the blood stains all over his body seemed to come from the souls of those who were killed by the sword.

But Jianliu was still keenly aware of the blood that was constantly flowing from the palm of the hand holding the sword to the blade.

This crazy guy... was still injured.

But it's strange——

A burst of applause came from not far away, and Jianliu subconsciously looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

Behind a fairly hidden tree in a corner not far away, a man in black robes turned around. At this moment, the man in black robes clapped his hands slowly, and his wide hood covered most of his face, but——

Jianliu looked closely and saw the identity of this guy at a glance.

This person...he will never forget——Shi Si.

Sure enough - this guy is truly an unkillable scourge.

Jianliu's five fingers were clenched so hard that they made a rattling sound.

He actually dared to come to the door, and actually——

"Compared to an evenly matched confrontation, I prefer...unilateral crushing."

"So - I borrowed their power a little bit and carried out a... one-sided massacre."

"Only when death is always with you can you feel more joy in living."

"So - instead of hiding, I chose to stand here."

"Thank you very much for issuing such an interesting mission for me, but I think it's time for it to come to an end."

"Sword style."

Pulling off the black cloak covering his body, the white-haired boy stood at a relatively safe distance and said this to Jianliu with a bright smile.

It's just that he never noticed that the dull eyes of the puppet he controlled named An Xu briefly reflected the moment when he pulled open his black robe.
