It's not a feudal society, telling one's son to see the young master, it's truly eye-opening.
That woman had grown accustomed to being humble, accustomed to compromising with everyone, accustomed to magnanimously sacrificing others. As long as the knife didn't cut her, she could say pretty words, couldn't she?
That frail, helpless appearance might work on others, but in front of someone like Zhan Ying, she would feel it was a deliberate attempt to disgust her. So, after Nan Bei issued the eviction order, she directly threw the two of them out.
But it wasn't over.
In the laboratory.
Zhuo Ying stood beside Chong Yan's nutrient pod, looking at the pale person inside. Then she thought about what he had voluntarily given up in the game, and felt a sense of unease.
"What if the villains in the game didn't kill people?"
Nan Bei: "..." He carefully considered the meaning of the sentence and asked with a guess, "Are you talking about the villains in this game?"
"Mm."
He seemed troubled. "I didn't participate in the design of this game, so I don't know. Was it him who stopped the game the second time?"
"Mm."
"Regardless, we need to rescue him quickly. He was framed in the first place. Those people must have put some restrictions on him to make him obedient. This time, he let us go in the instance, and it will definitely have an impact."
"Not just this time."
In fact, ever since they entered the game, whenever he and Zhuo Ying confronted each other, he would always influence him, giving up on dealing with them. This must have had a negative impact on him.
Nan Bei thought of the instances they had gone through before and instantly understood.
"Then I'll go remind them to continue entering tomorrow."
"No need. This time, it's just us."
Nan Bei looked puzzled.
"You find your people, I'll find mine."
And so, without notifying anyone, they entered the game world. Of course, before lying down in the nutrient pods, Nan Bei left a message for them.
【Welcome, players, to the game instance "Blood Moon Night." The rule for this game is to survive one night! When the first ray of dawn arrives, the game will end. This game is rated SSS, with a reward of thirty million world currency. The game will commence immediately after this announcement. Players, please prepare yourselves.】
As the voice faded, they appeared in front of an ancient castle.
It was exactly the same as the castle in the forbidden zone last time. There was also a sea of roses surrounding it, and several similar castles not far away, all presenting a majestic posture.
The afterglow of the sun completely faded, and the moon slowly climbed from the mountain hollow. The blood-red moon was incredibly dazzling, yet it sent a chill to the bone.
That blood-colored moon seemed to be a harbinger of all misfortunes.
Nan Bei looked at the red moon slowly rising on the horizon and said softly, "Legend has it that when the blood moon shines upon the land, vampires come out to feed. It seems the villain of this game is a vampire."
"How do we find him?"
"Heh." Nan Bei's smile was slightly sarcastic. "No need to look. They'll come to us."
Shadows from afar gradually obscured the moon, and soon they rushed to their front, clad in black robes, and unhesitatingly swung their claws at them.
Looking around, countless vampires were dealing with other players. They were like a swarm of ravenous demons from a thousand years ago, treating all players as delicacies, eagerly draining them.
Wails echoed everywhere, blood splattered in mid-air. The blood moon in the sky seemed like a large, blood-red eye, indifferently watching the slaughter below. If there were an outsider observing this scene, they would surely be chilled to the bone.
Nan Bei quickly took out two cards, and the next second, two silver swords appeared out of thin air in his hands. He handed one to Zhuo Ying. "Vampires are afraid of silver. Use this."
Zhuo Ying took it and, with a sharp angle, stabbed at the approaching vampire. With a swift slash, the vampire cried out in agony, its body turning into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing completely.
More vampires pounced.
She flipped the silver sword in her hand and struck the back of one of them. Because it was through the black robe, it didn't pierce through, and the opponent escaped unharmed. Its body suddenly shrank, turning into a bat, and after gliding a distance, it attacked again.
With its smaller size, Zhuo Ying's chances of hitting it were reduced, and she found herself in a bit of a predicament.
Seeing this, the other vampires also followed suit, transforming into bats to attack her. The person who had been using the flat of her sword to pat the bats now brandished her silver sword to slash.
This move was practically a betrayal of her teammates.
The bats, who thought they had found a clever tactic and charged forward, dissolved into black smoke the moment they were struck. This caused the subsequent vampires who intended to imitate them to abandon the idea and continue charging forward in human form.
However, no matter how they attacked, they received no special treatment from Zhuo Ying. They were merely shattered by her sword after sword and turned into black smoke, vanishing into thin air.
The blood moon slowly rose to its zenith, and the slaughter in the rose garden continued.
