Chapter 201: The Last World
The corridor in front of them was long and dark, the hurried footsteps of the players echoed in the seemingly endless narrow space. All the light seed to be getting devoured as the boundless silence surrounded them from front and behind.
As Ge Xiu ran forward, he was thinking about the current situation rapidly in his mind.
In fact, it would be very simple to get through the dining room scene safely.
The baron was only interested in the food in front of him did not show any hostility towards other beings in the room. As long as each player conford to their own identity setting and made no mistakes, they would be able to survive until the end of the banquet unscathed.
But this couldn’t explain why [he], as the boss of the instance, attached so much importance to this dinner party, even dragging him over to carry it out.
——Unless this dinner banquet was closely related to this instance’s plotline.
And as the only variable, the baron was definitely the key figure.
That’s why Ge Xiu acted decisively and killed the baron in foresight before everything started.
However, judging from the other party’s surprisingly calm performance after that, it was very likely that everything had already been settled.
While Ge Xiu was thinking, the players running in front of him were becoming exhausted and their speed gradually slowed down.
They turned their heads and looked behind them. The bottomless corridor stretched in the darkness with twists and turns. There was no shadow of the restaurant at all, and there seed to be no sign of anyone chasing after them. There was only boundless silence and darkness looking back. them.
The players slowly stopped, bending over and gasping for breath. After a long ti, they finally slowly recovered from the thrilling and horrifying experience just now.
Ge Xiu also halted, he leaned against the wall with folded arms, staring thoughtfully at the direction where they ca from.
After recovering a bit, Du Yan straightened up.
He was sitting near the baron’s seat, half of his face was inevitably splashed with blood and minced flesh, as well as soaked with cold sweat from strenuous exercise, his pale face painted red seed like an abstract painting coloured with blood.
Du Yan turned his head to look at Ge Xiu who was standing aside, and asked, out of breath,
“Just now, just now, what happened just now?”
He had experienced a similar role-playing instance before, but but he’d never encountered a situation like what happened in the restaurant just now—— every progress, every advancent in the plotline was completely beyond his imagination, he couldn’t even describe his current speechless mood with the ups and downs state of mind.
Ge Xiu heard his voice and glanced at the embarrassed player in front of him, then said casually:
“As you can see, my ‘fiancé’ is the instance’s boss.”
Du Yan took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped his face, asking cautiously: “…then you…”
Ge Xiu shrugged:
“I am also a player just like you.”
Another player from the side interrupted, he looked at Ge Xiu vigilantly: “Why should we believe what you said? After all, you were sitting in the top place with the boss of this instance just now, how do we know if you’re not also with him?”
“And…” a player whose face turned pale from fright spoke in horror, The voice beca smaller and smaller: “His appearance when facing those scenes is really abnormal…”
The other players also recalled in their minds the extraordinary calmness and indiffrence shown by this overly handso young man in face of a situation that would arouse a desire to vomit in any normal adult. They couldn’t help shivering secretly and subconsciously took two steps back, trying to distance themselves from him.
Ge Xiu glanced at them lazily and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
“So I might as well throw you all to that baron?”
The players looked at each other: “…”
Oh that’s right.
At this mont, Du Yan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “How…how did you kill that baron just now?”
Ge Xiu was pulled out of his thoughts by his voice and he raised his hand to show the at cleaver to the other, the blade in his palm flashed with a cold glint in the dim corridor, causing other players to subconsciously shiver down their spines.
“But…” Du Yan frowned: “But it’s part of the instance itself, how did you manage to hurt it?”
How could a player kill instance’s boss?
This question seed to activate the mory of a certain player.
His eyes suddenly widened, his eyes swept over the tall and slender figure of the other party standing in front of him, that jaw pained in sharp lines and the astonishing and shocking beauty that was striking even though it was hidden in the darkness— the player gasped, raised his hand, and pointed at Ge Xiu tremblingly, his voice beca a little shrill because of over-excitent:
“You, you’re the person from that post!”
The other players couldn’t help being startled and at the sa ti turned their heads to look at Ge Xiu who was standing not far away.
That post was too popular on the forum. Even after the original post was banned, the content in it has been spreading rapidly among the players—except for the players who just entered the ga, other senior players even if they haven’t clicked and read this post, they still knew the content more or less.
Most people scoffed at this.
In truth, they all had tried to attack the instance’s bosses back when they were ignorant, but the facts proved that it was more useful to run for their lives when facing those inhuman ghosts.
They believed that the poster of that post was just another grandstanding clown.
The content in it, even if only a few words, had no trustworthy value.
——However, the young man in front of them really fit the image in that post too much.
Those players who had read the post were shocked by the exquisite appearance that seed to not exist among human beings, as well as the ruthless way of beheading the boss.
The excited player who spoke first was a little out of breath, and stamred: “I, I know a player, he survived through the that instance, and he told that the content of that post is absolutely true! Originally, I also doubted it, but now…”
That’s right, if that post was real, then if he wasn’t, no one would be.
Ge Xiu, who was the center of the topic, looked clueless instead:
“Wait, what post?”
The player looked at him with fiery eyes: “Have you ever been through a village instance before?”
Ge Xiu nodded.
When he heard his guess confird, he chattered excitedly: “My friend told that that person directly killed the boss of that instance! Oh my god, is it true?”
Ge Xiu finally figured it out the current situation.
It was his experience in previous instances, which was posted by one of his forr teammates on the player forum that Cheng Xiao ntioned.
After hearing what the player had said, the expressions of the others also changed from shock and scepticism at the beginning to shock and ecstasy. Their eyes were like searchlights, glued to Ge Xiu who was standing not far away, as they were desperate people who fell into the abyss and finally caught the hanging rope, their eyes looked at the young man in front of them as if they were looking at a savior.
Ge Xiu: “…”
Before coming out of the second instance, he originally thought that such a huge chain of interactive information did not exist among these players, so a word of mouth in a small group would not spread too far, however, it was beyond his expectation that such a forum existed among players.
On the other hand, such a direction of public opinion was very beneficial to him.
He cleared his throat.
Everyone fell silent instantly, waiting without complaint, looking forward to the other party’s next instructions.
Ge Xiu said, “Have you noticed that there are too many clocks in this instance?”
The players were surprised.
……Indeed, there were too many.
Throughout the villa, there were clocks hanging everywhere. In the hall, there were all kinds of western clocks lined up. Even on the walls, separated by barely a few steps, the clocks were in numbers incredible for a single mansion.
“The place where the first player died,”
Ge Xiu pointed to the tapestry on the wall, “It was exactly the hour and the place where he died was just under the clock.”
This wasn’t actually the truth.
It was around 9:50pm when the player died and the screams were heard at 9:55pm.
Ge Xiu rembered it so clearly because he was looking at the clock on the dressing table.
Others did not have this advantage. For them, the ti point at that ti was vague. As long as the ti deviation of what Ge Xiu said did not exceed ten minutes, they would believe what Ge Xiu said without any doubt.
And the way Ge Xiu ca to his conclusion was very simple.
He could “see energy”.
Any existence that was different from ordinary utensils looked as if it was deliberately marked in his field of vision— every clock and clock in this villa, even the pocket watch he picked up from the dressing table, was like shining light in the dark, so clear that it was impossible to ignore it. Almost as soon as he walked into this dungeon, Ge Xiu knew exactly what the key props here were.
However, other players did not have such conveniences as him—— so these innocuous lies could save a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Ge Xiu turned and stepped forward, stretched out his hand and tore off the clock hanging on the wall beside him, it fell heavily on the ground.
The shell of the clock was shattered, exposing the gears and bearings made of bones. The clock seed to as if wounded, with blood slowly flowing outward.
A player gasped:
“Then…there are so many watches in this villa…”
Ge Xiu shrugged: “Yes, my guess is they are all human.”
Wave after wave of players, leaving one after another dead bodies in such a form.
Du Yan took a deep breath, as if he wanted to digest a ton of information in a few seconds, he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. He asked slowly, as if wanting to carefully choose his words:
“Then you… what do you suggest we do now?”
From the last instance, Ge Xiu learned one thing.
The people killed by the boss in the instance and the trophies they were made into were the source of their power—after he destroyed all the human puppets, he could clearly see the light that symbolized spiritual power on the old woman obviously weakening, so after that, she beca helpless under the suppression of the flas until she burned to the bone.
Ge Xiu smiled slightly:
“Smash and destroy.”
