Chapter 181

"Let me go!" Bayi Xisan roared, having been flipped over by a fireball.

He was a conceited and arrogant fellow, and of course, a man who cared about his image. Otherwise, simply having his hands and neck tied together wouldn't have prevented him from turning over. He hadn't been turning over all this time because he preferred to hide his face while lying prone. His current state would be incredibly embarrassing for him to be seen in, whether by strangers or acquaintances.

But with Fireball's depravity, upon seeing Bayi Xisan's appearance, he immediately let out a cheap, lewd laugh, ignoring him completely and looking at Gu Fei to ask, "Drunk Bro, how are you planning to deal with him?"

"Kill him," Gu Fei said without wasting words.

"What a pity." Fireball reluctantly admired Bayi Xisan's pose, deliberately stalling for time.

"Just kill me already!!" Bayi Xisan also changed his tune; earlier, he had shouted "Let me go!", but immediately felt childish after saying it. Now, in his current state, Bayi Xisan no longer cared about the death penalty; he just wanted a quick death.

"Why the rush, brother? The weather's so nice, let's chat!" Fireball said.

"I'll fuck your mother!!!" Bayi Xisan was also getting anxious, resorting to vulgar abuse.

But Fireball wasn't someone who would get riled up by mere profanity. He continued with a cheap smile, and was about to say something, but Gu Fei, who was standing to the side, grew impatient: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!"

"I'll do it!" Coward Savior wasn't as depraved as Fireball and was about to step forward, but Fireball hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, leave the dirty work to me."

After saying that, he turned around and began chanting, throwing a fireball at Bayi Xisan. Bayi Xisan almost fainted when he saw the damage to his health. It only decreased by about one percent. This cheap bastard, with his trash equipment, didn't even bother to equip a staff when casting spells. Was he planning to grind him to death with a hundred fireballs?!

"Drunk Bro, do you think if he dies and gets sent to the resurrection point, he'll still be in this pose?" Fireball chatted with Gu Fei while throwing fireballs.

"That… I'm not too sure," Gu Fei said.

Bayi Xisan panicked when he heard this. He didn't know the answer to that question either! What if he resurrected in the same pose? Then what was the point of wanting a quick death?

"How about we drag him to the entrance of the resurrection point and then kill him, to observe how the system handles this situation," Fireball said with a serious face, as if he were conducting some important scientific research. But Bayi Xisan understood immediately that this bastard wanted to parade him through the streets in this state! But now, Bayi Xisan realized that even dying might not change his appearance, so he developed a desire to live again. He hadn't sent a distress signal to his brothers in the Eagle Platoon all this time because he thought he'd never be able to hold his head up again if they saw him like this. But now that he realized death was no escape, he couldn't care less about that and immediately sent a message for help. Parading through the streets? He didn't care about that either, as it would give his brothers time to rescue him! He immediately yelled at Fireball, "You wouldn't dare!!!"

He knew that he had no leverage to threaten them, but shouting "You wouldn't dare" would only prove to them that they dared.

Sure enough, Fireball laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare!" After saying that, he began to look around, studying how to drag Bayi Xisan away. Bayi Xisan was secretly pleased; Yongyuan had replied with an urgent message asking what was happening. Bayi Xisan was about to describe the situation, but then he heard Qianli Zui say, "Are you done yet! Just kill him already, we have other things to do!"

Gu Fei had also seen through Fireball's intentions. Although he had caused Bayi Xisan's current humiliation, Gu Fei had no intention of deliberately insulting anyone. He couldn't kill him, and he was afraid he'd run away, so he had to tie him up. But in an online game environment, being tied up instead of killed was even more bizarre… Now that he saw Fireball deliberately mocking him, Gu Fei couldn't stand it anymore.

But Fireball was still smiling broadly: "It wasn't easy for you to tie him up, it'd be a shame to just kill him like this!"

As a result, Gu Fei said, "What's so difficult about it? It's very easy!"

Bayi Xisan was so angry he wanted to vomit blood; he had never been looked down upon like this before. Gu Fei didn't bother arguing with Fireball and said to Coward Savior, "Coward, quickly kill him."

"Call me Coward Savior!" Coward Savior came forward with some dissatisfaction. This time, Fireball said helplessly, "Alright, alright," and reluctantly began attacking Bayi Xisan in earnest. And so, with fireballs and punches and kicks, Bayi Xisan was finally killed.

A white light flashed, and Bayi Xisan resurrected.

The resurrected Bayi Xisan was in tears, because the unfortunate event had finally happened. He was still tied up and appeared at the resurrection point… Resurrection cleared some abnormal statuses from the player, such as dizziness, slowing, or silence, but the artificially tied hands seemed to have not been judged by the system.

But fortunately, Bayi Xisan was standing when he resurrected, which reduced his embarrassment a lot. Although people were coming and going in the resurrection point, one wouldn't necessarily notice that Bayi Xisan was tied up if they didn't pay close attention. Bayi Xisan also quickly moved to the corner and sat down, hiding his appearance. The terrible spectacle was finally avoided.

"Xisan, what's going on? Why aren't you talking?" Bayi Xisan's message flashed, it was Yongyuan calling him. When Bayi Xisan suddenly stopped replying, Yongyuan's heart sank again; he already had a bad feeling.

"Qianli Zui is a madman, a pervert!!!" Bayi Xisan replied to Yongyuan.

"You encountered him?" Yongyuan asked anxiously. Before, Bayi Xisan had only called for help, and hadn't had time to explain the details.

"It was him!" Bayi Xisan said through gritted teeth.

"What exactly happened?" Yongyuan asked.

What happened? Bayi Xisan blankly felt the bonds between his neck and wrists. Why did it turn out like this? Bayi Xisan couldn't explain it either. What happened… he also wanted to know.

After killing Bayi Xisan, Gu Fei sent a message to Yun Zhong Mu and the others, telling them that they didn't need to come. Han Jia Gongzi was furious when he heard this: "Didn't I tell you to wait?"

"Wait for what? I got some help, so I killed him!" Gu Fei said.

"Damn it, we could have used him as bait to lure out all the opponents and wipe them out in one fell swoop," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"It's okay, I'll just find them one by one," Gu Fei said, taking out the list and preparing to search for the next one.

"Then find Yongyuan," Han Jia Gongzi said unhappily.

"Why are you placing so much importance on this Yongyuan?" Gu Fei asked.

"He's the leader," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Oh, it's only a matter of time," Gu Fei said, while searching through the entire list of thirty people. Ten of them were offline, six had no PK value, and Gu Fei had locked onto fourteen targets, including the recently tragic Bayi Xisan—Gu Fei hadn't killed him, so the task wasn't over yet.

Yun Zhong Mu and the others had been rushing over all this time, and Gu Fei and the other two were about to head towards a target when they ran into this large group of people. You Ge was surprised to see Fireball and Coward Savior: "How did you guys get here?"

"Drunk Bro told me to come!" Fireball said.

You Ge looked at Gu Fei, who looked back at him in confusion: "Didn't you say to call more people?"

"I think I said to call experts, right?" You Ge said.

"Isn't that what I am?" Gu Fei patted his chest.

Everyone was helpless, so they had to ask Gu Fei what to do next. Gu Fei pointed at the list and said, "I've already located fourteen people, and I can find them at any time. But it's troublesome if I'm not allowed to kill them." Gu Fei had a bit of luck when he tied up Bayi Xisan; if it had been a warrior, Gu Fei felt the chances of success wouldn't have been so high.

"That's not a problem. Qianli, just tell me the coordinates at any time, and I'll organize people to encircle and capture them!" Yun Zhong Mu said quickly.

Gu Fei realized that his role was really just as a navigator, and he wasn't needed for killing people. Helpless, he had to announce the coordinates, and Yun Zhong Mu quickly organized manpower. Because the targets were mostly acting separately, with at most two or three people together, they didn't need too many people. Relying on their familiarity with the city's terrain, Yun Zhong Mu formed several teams and began to encircle and kill the guys with known coordinates. Among them, Bayi Xisan's coordinates attracted everyone's attention; the coordinates were practically a hundred thousand miles away, clearly not Yueye City.

"It seems they're not registered in Yueye City; they return to their hometown when they die," You Ge said.

"It's a pity that the teleport on him has already been used once," Gu Fei said regretfully.

"You can teleport that far?" You Ge was shocked.

"I heard it's a temporary feature," Gu Fei said.

"What do you mean by temporary feature?" You Ge asked.

"Didn't you prevent me from doing the mission yesterday? The GM said they'd temporarily enable this feature for me," Gu Fei said.

Everyone looked at each other. Many people didn't know about the dungeon incident, and when they heard that the GM had enabled some feature for Gu Fei, they all came over to gossip.

"Has it been resolved yet?" After listening to the gossip, everyone asked.

"They haven't told me yet! He said he'd tell me after it's resolved," Gu Fei said.

"You're ruthless!" Everyone said. At this time, Yun Zhong Mu came over again: "Everyone, what are your plans?" Yun Zhong Mu was busy making arrangements and didn't have time to gossip. Moreover, he was eager to wipe out the Eagle Platoon and wasn't in the mood to listen to gossip. The guild was organizing things, and they came to ask how these experts would participate.

"We'll just do whatever's convenient," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Oh, then I'll leave it to you!" Yun Zhong Mu politely said before heading off to command his guild with great enthusiasm.

On the Eagle Platoon side, Yongyuan told Bayi Xisan to teleport back quickly, but Bayi Xisan said unhappily that he couldn't. Yongyuan was very puzzled, and Bayi Xisan had to explain that he was tied up and couldn't take out a teleport scroll from his pocket. He was currently looking for friends to help him untie the ropes.

The Eagle Platoon had some friends besides the thirty members of the team, so it was possible to find someone to help untie the ropes since Bayi Xisan had died and returned to his hometown. But the person hadn't arrived yet, so Bayi Xisan could only pitifully shrink in the corner and wait.

Yongyuan was anxious. Since Bayi Xisan couldn't return for the time being, he asked about the situation in detail to understand how he had encountered Qianli Zui.

"You're saying that he seemed to be waiting for you in that place?" Yongyuan frowned.

"I think it's very likely. It didn't seem like a coincidence at all. It was as if he knew I was going to appear there…" Bayi Xisan recalled the scene of Gu Fei leaning against the wall and calling out to him. That smile, thinking about it now, was truly very, very perverted!

"Could it be that he has some special way of finding us…" Yongyuan realized the situation was serious. Although they were an elite team, they were still weak and outnumbered. The several times they had formed a team for a frontal attack were all to establish their prestige and create psychological pressure on the players of the Ten Guild Alliance. The only sustainable way for them to fight was to hide in the shadows and launch attacks whenever they had the chance. But if their whereabouts were truly completely exposed, it would be a big trouble.

It was better to believe it than not, and Yongyuan reacted very quickly. After learning about the situation from Bayi Xisan, he immediately notified everyone. At the same time, Yi Fengzheng, who was scouting on the top floor of the church, discovered the movements of some teams in the city. After learning about the coordinates of each person and observing the teams that had been discovered, Yi Fengzheng concluded that the Ten Guild Alliance was accurately capturing them!

"Retreat, everyone retreat! Temporarily evacuate Yueye City." Yongyuan was decisive in his actions. Since they were going to hide, they would hide completely and simply leave Yueye City entirely.

Yun Zhong Mu and the others weren't slow to act, but they were no match for Yongyuan's quick analysis and decision. With an order, everyone took out teleport scrolls and left Yueye City. Less than a minute later, Gu Fei updated the coordinates and immediately realized that all fourteen targets were no longer in Yueye City.

"They all ran away?" Yun Zhong Mu was stunned. He was excited and full of fighting spirit!

"Yeah…" Gu Fei replied regretfully.

"This is called alarming the snake…" Han Jia Gongzi despised Gu Fei, "You were too conspicuous. They must have judged that we have a way of knowing their location."

"It's okay, intercity wanted!" Gu Fei patted his Chasing Wind badge, randomly selected a target, and teleported away with a flash of white light.

"Wait for me to make a scroll; two people come over," Gu Fei mainly wanted to find two people to be his assistant assassins. When he sent this message, he had already appeared in this distant, unfamiliar main city. Gu Fei took out the teleport scroll and quickly made the coordinates, but the message from the distant place was: Make a few more scrolls; bring more people.

Gu Fei didn't rush to send the scrolls; each mission target could only be teleported once. Gu Fei didn't want to waste this teleport. He looked at the distance between himself and the target. It wasn't far, but while scanning the target's coordinates, Gu Fei also noticed that, except for Bayi Xisan, the other fourteen wanted targets had the exact same coordinates.

"They're all in the same place!!" Gu Fei hadn't noticed this before. Now that he thought about it, he guessed that the other party had returned to this hometown using teleport scrolls, and their teleport scrolls were of the same series, with coordinates all in the same place.

Gu Fei hurriedly ran towards the target, constantly looking at the coordinates along the way. It didn't change, it didn't change; it didn't change after two refreshes in two minutes. These people were obviously gathered together. In two minutes, Gu Fei had already stepped into the coordinate area with them, but when he looked around, he couldn't find such a group of people…

Gu Fei also knew that the area of a coordinate region was quite large, but this was a narrow street, so straight and direct. If it were on another street, it definitely wouldn't be this coordinate region. Since there were no targets in the same area in front or behind, there was only one possibility for the other party's existence: on the roofs to the left and right…

Gu Fei looked to the left and right. The buildings on the right were low, and Gu Fei took a few steps back and jumped to take a look, but he didn't see anyone. And on the left was a tall, three-story building, so he couldn't see the top. Gu Fei looked at the target coordinates again; they still hadn't moved. By the process of elimination, he could know that the other party was now gathered on the top of this three-story building.

The buildings on the left weren't all this tall; there were also low houses on the left and right of this building. Gu Fei visually measured the height and realized that it was impossible to go up directly with Instant Movement. If he threw a grappling hook, everyone might be on the roof, and he would definitely be discovered…

How did these guys get up there? Gu Fei was wondering when he suddenly smiled wryly. What kind of question was that? Of course, they went in through the door. This tall building might be their property; the top was an open-air terrace, and it was easy for them to go up from inside, but from outside, there was only climbing…

Gu Fei guessed correctly. This rather large building was indeed a player-owned property. Of course, the owner wasn't the Eagle Platoon, but their boss, Gaishi Qiying. And this large building wasn't bought by Gaishi Qiying as a villa; it was a large warehouse for their Yingqi Studio. The system only provided players with private warehouses, which had limited capacity, which was simply not enough for a huge studio like Yingqi. Moreover, things had to be managed by someone reliable enough, so it was impossible to distribute them to hundreds or thousands of players' private warehouses. So they had to use this more realistic style to store supplies. The things placed inside this player's property were not considered discarded and would not be refreshed by the system.

At this time, nineteen members of the Eagle Platoon had gathered on the roof of this warehouse. Bayi Xisan was still tied up in the resurrection point and couldn't come over for the time being. A circle of people looked very serious, waiting for Yongyuan to say something.

"Qianli Zui and the others have indeed come," Yongyuan said. "From what we can see now, his strength is secondary, but this unknown skill of his has a great impact on us. If our whereabouts can always be captured by them, it will be difficult for our actions to continue."

"The most urgent task is to first figure out what method Qianli Zui is using. The people we've bribed in the Ten Guild Alliance have already aroused suspicion. Yun Zhong Mu seems to only act with his confidants. We can't find out anything by relying on them. Everyone, see if there are any other ways?" Yongyuan said.

"The people around Qianli Zui should all know his method. I wonder if there are any targets we can bribe," one person said.

"Maybe we don't even need to bribe them. If he doesn't consider it a secret, then it's fine to ask around through acquaintances," another person said.

Just as everyone was discussing this, they suddenly heard someone shouting on the street below: "Is there anyone up there???"

Since he couldn't go up, he would just have to let them come down… Gu Fei's method was simple and direct.
