Hu Die Lan
Chapter 55 Number 27149
"If I'm on this wanted list, isn't my identity already exposed?" Gu Fei said.
"Just don't get caught," Brother Right said.
"Won't my name be announced?" Gu Fei asked.
"No." Brother Right shook his head. "Everyone on the wanted list has a number. Your name right now is Wanted Criminal XXXX."
"I see…"
"Players who accept the wanted mission will have your coordinates updated in their task list every five minutes. So, if you calculate the time well and make a major shift every five minutes, it won't be easy for them to find you," Brother Right said.
"That makes sense! Then I'll get moving now!" Gu Fei looked at the time; he'd been online for almost five minutes.
"What do you want to buy? I'll help you," Brother Right said, heading toward the auction house trading window.
"Oh, get a level 30 mage robe. Then see if there are any necklaces, rings, or emblems with a chance of triggering fire magic attacks. Get one of each," Gu Fei said.
Brother Right left the trading window expressionlessly. "It's getting late. Better get on the road!"
Gu Fei: "…"
The two of them left the auction house and quickly headed out of the city. They hadn't gone far when they heard a burst of chaotic footsteps behind them. Looking back, they saw several players rushing toward the auction house.
"They're not coming for me, are they!" Gu Fei was startled.
"Looks like it," Brother Right said.
"There are quite a few of them!" Gu Fei said.
"Surrender!" Brother Right said calmly.
"Don't…" Gu Fei said.
"Then you should cover your face. With so many people, someone might recognize you. Right now, they're looking for a number, which is much easier to spot," Brother Right said.
"Okay, okay, let's get out of the city first. There are too many people in the city, too much trouble." Gu Fei hurried toward the city gate. Brother Right couldn't keep up with Gu Fei's speed and could only shout from behind, "Be careful!"
Gu Fei waved his hand without looking back.
Brother Right returned to the auction house alone. A large number of players were searching the area, and new arrivals kept appearing. Brother Right felt he had underestimated the seriousness of the situation. He hadn't expected Gu Fei to attract so many pursuers. The curiosity of humans was truly terrifying.
After leaving the auction house, Brother Right contacted Han Family's Young Master and the others. They were all shocked by the news. "What? That guy doesn't know the PK rules?"
"That good-for-nothing! Meeting, meeting!" As the leader, Han Family's Young Master first criticized Gu Fei, then summoned everyone to the usual spot at Little Lei Tavern.
At the same time, Across the World's Wind Rider was rushing to find their Guild Leader, Sword Without Oath.
"An opportunity has arrived!" Wind Rider nearly knocked down the door to Across the World's guild hall.
Sword Without Oath was chatting with a few of the guild's beauties when Wind Rider suddenly interrupted him. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "How many times have I told you? Stay calm when something happens! Don't panic!"
"The masked assassin is wanted!" Wind Rider shouted directly.
"He killed Bu Xia many times, of course, he'd be wanted," Sword Without Oath said calmly, continuing to show his composure in front of the beauties. "Let's go, I'll go take a look with you."
Sword Without Oath waved goodbye to the beauties with a flourish, walked out of the guild hall with a steady gait, and gently closed the door. Turning around, he said, "Damn it! How did he get wanted? He killed Bu Xia so many times, didn't he surrender and go to jail? If everyone chases after him, won't his identity be exposed? What was the point of being masked before?"
Wind Rider: "…"
"Speak!" Sword Without Oath's anxious appearance was completely different from his earlier demeanor in the guild hall.
"I… I don't know! I just heard that there was a criminal with a PK value of 15 at the wanted mission office. I figured it couldn't be anyone but him."
"Go take a look…" Sword Without Oath rushed toward the wanted mission distribution office.
The wanted mission distribution window was crowded. Sword Without Oath scanned the area and saw many leaders from other guilds in Cloudgazer City. Sword Without Oath could guess what these people were thinking: they wanted to befriend this ruthless person, and preferably bring him into their own guild. In fact, Sword Without Oath had the same intention, but there was no need to think too much about it right now. With so many people, it was still uncertain who would ultimately get him!
Sword Without Oath turned his head and searched the wanted list. The masked assassin's information was at the top: PK value 15, number 27149.
Meanwhile, those still in the hall weren't in a hurry to accept the mission. They all believed that Gu Fei would surrender. And the place to surrender was also this hall. Therefore, these people were closely watching the players coming in and out. As soon as they saw a mage, their eyes lit up, followed by disappointment.
"No wonder he didn't surrender. Surrendering would be a dead end," Sword Without Oath muttered to himself. Quite a few mages had come and gone, but number 27149 remained at the top of the list.
In a corner of the hall, July, Luo Luo, and Lie Lie were also observing the crowd before them.
"Ah, that one, it must be him! A newbie robe!!" Lie Lie had already pointed and shouted at some player for the seventeenth time.
After using Identify, Luo Luo sighed. "Lie Lie! A master doesn't have to be handsome, that's just wishful thinking. Don't just point at every handsome mage you see. The one you just pointed at is only level 12."
"Oh…"
"How long have we been here?" July asked.
"Almost half an hour," Luo Luo said.
"Does this person not plan to surrender?" July stated the truth.
"Really? A PK value of 15 means he has to wander outside for 30 hours. Will he not log off in between? If he logs off, he's likely to be discovered on the way back to the offline area. As long as they've accepted the wanted mission, players can attack him even in safe zones," Luo Luo said.
"Then why hasn't he shown up yet?" July glanced at the wanted list.
"Maybe he expected that many people would be waiting for him to surrender, so he's deliberately biding his time somewhere!" Luo Luo said.
"Oh! Then let's wait a little longer!"
Everyone had the same thought, patiently waiting, until an hour passed.
"Ahhh! That one, that one… oh, it's a priest…" Lie Lie pointed at someone and started shouting again.
Luo Luo followed Lie Lie's gaze, and her eyes lit up.
Luo Luo gently tugged at the two of them, pointed at the person, and whispered in their ears, "That person is Han Family's Young Master."
After circling the mission hall, Han Family's Young Master quickly left. Luo Luo pulled July and Lie Lie, and they quietly followed behind.
Han Family's Young Master walked slowly all the way. After passing two streets, he arrived at a deserted place and suddenly turned around. The three girls quickly shrank into a corner.
"Why are you hiding! Come out, there are people watching you from behind!" Han Family's Young Master shouted.
"Don't move, he's definitely bluffing," Lie Lie said.
"He's not bluffing…" A voice clearly rang out behind the three of them.
The three girls were dumbfounded. Lie Lie looked back, even more confused. "Did you guys hear someone talking?"
July had already straightened up and sighed, looking at the air behind them. "It's a thief, lurking behind us!"
"Can we come out now?" Han Family's Young Master called out again from the front.
The three girls reluctantly walked out of the corner. Lie Lie waved her fists and feet at the air a few times, but hit nothing.
"You're careful enough! You even have eyes in the back of your head," Luo Luo said.
Han Family's Young Master ignored her and coldly said, "Our deal seems to have ended yesterday."
"It's ended, but maybe there's a new deal to be made," Luo Luo said.
"We're busy right now," Han Family's Young Master said.
"Oh, what are you busy with?" Luo Luo asked.
Han Family's Young Master smiled. "What do you think?"
"This matter started because of us. If there's anything we can help with, we won't refuse," July said sincerely.
"Miss, you've already paid us for everything we did for you, and the price was very reasonable, so we don't owe each other anything. Now it's completely our own business, and we don't need you to worry about it. Put away your curiosity and go back!" Han Family's Young Master said, turning to leave.
"Han Family's Young Master!!" Lie Lie suddenly shouted.
Han Family's Young Master stopped.
"We know your name, and we know what you look like. Aren't you afraid we'll tell everyone?" Lie Lie shouted.
"Lie Lie!" July and Luo Luo clearly didn't expect Lie Lie to say that.
"Threatening me?" Han Family's Young Master turned his head.
"No, I just mean, we know who you are, why can't we meet the others? We'll definitely keep it a secret!" Lie Lie said.
Han Family's Young Master smiled and pointed at July. "Ask your guild leader! Maybe she'll understand what I'm thinking."
July was stunned.
"Don't follow me anymore. I have a bad temper, and I'm not in a good mood right now. I can easily lose my temper. A final friendly reminder: don't think about accepting the mission to see this person's true face. He's ruthless, never soft, and the same to everyone! He's a real killer!" Han Family's Young Master said the last few sentences through gritted teeth, full of resentment. After saying that, he left without looking back.
"What a person, so self-righteous!" Lie Lie cursed.
"Miss, it's not good to talk bad about people behind their backs," someone said in the air.
"There's still someone else!" Lie Lie stomped her feet angrily. "Get lost, you pervert!" Lie Lie waved her fists and feet at the air.
"Let's go, Lie Lie," July said, pulling Lie Lie away.
"Should we accept the mission, July?" Luo Luo asked.
"Yes," July said decisively. "But not to see his true face, but to see if there's anything we can help with."
