"It happened a week ago. At that time, we were performing a bounty mission in Hongye City, and suddenly we heard that a murder occurred in the local church. At first, several of us thought it was just the death of a certain NPC, but unexpectedly, the deceased turned out to be an internal beta player.

, and the body did not disappear for the next three days. This also shows that once the player character dies, the player's entity will also die." Wei Pengpeng's face was very gloomy, and his eyes accidentally showed a hint of fear.

Mo Jianchu was startled, his pupils suddenly dilated, what he feared finally happened.

In past closed betas, it was not uncommon for players to hunt players.

"Did Jingzhe do it?!" Mo Jianchu felt a chill on his back, and when he mentioned "Jingzhe", he even got goosebumps all over his body.

During the closed beta period of [Staring into the Abyss], a notorious organization named Jingzhe appeared, all of whom were evil people. They hunted players for fun.

When Jingzhe was at its craziest, it only took ten days to kill all the players on the server.

Mo Jianchu, as a newbie who had just come into contact with [Staring into the Abyss], was killed particularly brutally. He restarted it three or four times a day, which was considered normal operation.

Wei Pengpeng shook his head slightly, "We can't be sure yet. We can only learn from the witnesses' accounts that the murderer was wearing a black robe with a skull and a red bracelet on his hand."

"The red bracelet? It means that he has hunted players before! This is not an accident! It is a deliberate killing!" Mo Jianchu exclaimed.

"It seems that you are also a player who has experienced the 'darkest moment'." Wei Pengpeng said with a bitter smile.

The ten days when all the players were slaughtered are called the "darkest moment" in the history of the game.

Everyone is in danger and everyone is afraid.

No one knows who the murderer is, but if they see a player they don't recognize on the road, they will start a fight without saying a word.

During that time, everyone was carrying at least one life.

Mo Jianchu was no exception, although he was on the defensive side.

But at least five or six players died in his hands.

The originally blue-colored bracelet also turned reddish-brown.

Everyone was arguing on the forum.

The most despicable, disgusting, and damning words that humans can think of are vividly displayed on the forum.

The goal is unexpectedly the same, which is to denounce Jingzhe's criminal behavior.

Players also collectively complained to GM with their real names.

But the answer given by GM is: all the other party's actions are consistent with the gameplay of "Staring into the Abyss", and there are no violations.

To calm players down.

Agents in various regions around the world had no choice but to close their login portals for one day, citing maintenance and updates.

And the players can only swallow such hidden losses in frustration.

From then on, the matter fell into disuse.

After all, during the closed beta, players are constantly facing death threats.

It's just the difference between being killed by a player or being killed by a monster.

But now, all closed beta players are unable to exit the game.

Once the character dies, the consequences are self-evident.

Will Jingzhe commit another crime?

It has always been a worry for Mo Jianchu.

However, after experiencing the Battle of Lieyang City, Mo Jianchu finally gained a firm foothold and relaxed his vigilance about Jingzhe.

When he heard again that someone was hunting players, he was at a loss.

Because now the nature has completely changed.

This is not playing a game, this is killing people!

"Where's your bracelet?! Let me see what color your bracelet is!" Mo Jianchu took a breath and looked at Wei Pengpeng with extremely fearful eyes.

Wei Pengpeng was also startled, and quickly scratched his wrist with the tip of the knife. At this time, his arm suddenly showed a blue glow.

He explained: "Look, mine is also blue! It's just covered with a layer of [Multiple Vision Potion], which has the same function as your [Anonymous Earrings], both to hide your identity."

After hearing this, Mo Jianchu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wu Xiaoyan followed the road and came over. She looked at the little fat man who greeted him with a smile, then turned to Mo Jianchu and asked: "Your friend?"

"That's right." Mo Jianchu rolled his eyes and did not refute.

"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Wei Pengpeng. It's an honor to meet you." After Wei Pengpeng said that, he stretched out his hand and held the first half of her fingers.

Wu Xiaoyan was confused by the sudden greeting and subconsciously withdrew her finger, "Uh... hello."

When Wei Pengpeng turned to look at Mo Jianchu in confusion, the latter reacted.

"Oh, my name is Mo Jianchu."

Wei Pengpeng's overflowing smile instantly collapsed and he rolled his eyes, "I'm asking for the name of this beautiful young lady."

"My name is Wu Xiaoyan! I am also Mo Jianchu's friend!" Wu Xiaoyan answered seriously.

"You are really beautiful, and your name is nice!" Wei Pengpeng put away his idiotic smile, "By the way, is your destination for this trip also Lingyue City?"

Wu Xiaoyan's face turned red when she was praised, and she enjoyed the praise. She responded with extra honesty: "Well, we need to get off the bus at Lingyue City, and then go all the way west."

"What a coincidence! I also want to go to Lingyue City, and I just have someone to take care of me." Wei Pengpeng beamed with joy.

Pursuing beautiful women is his biggest hobby in life. Although he is a little fatter, it does not affect his pursuit of beautiful women.

He always firmly believes in a life doctrine: Beauty is justice.

Being able to have such a beautiful woman accompanying him during a boring journey would make him laugh even in his dreams.

However, Mo Jianchu poured cold water on his sweet dream on the spot, "We will arrive at the station in one hour. You can do whatever you like then, just don't follow us."

"I'm afraid, our journey is destined to be uneventful." Wei Pengpeng put away his improper and playful smile, and his face suddenly darkened.

"So you discovered it too?" Mo Jianchu shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"I'm not blind, okay?! The people who were around you now have new faces. Considering the conflicts you had with others, I can guess that." Wei Pengpeng scolded with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Wu Xiaoyan looked around, but still didn't find any suspicion.

"The Xing family didn't want to see one of their own being bullied, so they gathered together to take revenge. After all, the Xing family's tradition is to use force to bully others, and they don't dare to fight alone." Mo Jianchu glanced coldly at the young and strong men who had quietly gathered around him, and his words were clear.

Full of ridicule.

This made the once forbearing Xing family servant instantly become furious: "Do it! Kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people took out their bayonets and stabbed Mo Jianchu.

Dozens of sword lights flashed, blocking the sight of others.

If it is hit, it will turn into a honeycomb.

But Mo Jianchu is also experienced in many battles. He doesn't even need any skills to deal with these miscellaneous fish below level 10. He can easily dodge and avoid their siege with just his body skills.

He put his hands on his hips, looked at the stunned people with contempt, and continued to mock: "Can you Xing family be okay? You are a bunch of thin dogs."

This taunt was like a bomb, blowing their proud noble status to pieces.

They were born in poor families and have determined to join the Xing family since they were young. Even if they become lackeys or thugs, they have no regrets.

He even feels complacent about being a member of the Xing family and shows off to everyone.

If you can be promoted to team leader, you will also hold a big banquet and invite the whole village to come and eat.

In their eyes, the Xing family is heaven! It is faith!

However, now there is a person who completely ignores the Xing family.

Not only did they beat their people in public, but they also repeatedly scolded the Xing family.

How could they endure such humiliation?

The leader was Xing Tiancai, the captain of the steam locomotive's security team. He originally led the team here because he just wanted to teach this young man who didn't know the bounds of the world a lesson.

Destroy his arrogance.

But I never thought that he would dare to insult the Xing family.

Insulting the Xing family is more infuriating than insulting his entire family.

In order to defend the glory of the Xing family to the death, Xing Tiancai pulled out the steel knife, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "Shi can be killed but not humiliated! Brothers! Fight with him!"

"kill!"

A group of hot-blooded young men immediately brandished their sharp knives and pounced on Mo Jianchu as if they were desperate.

Mo Jianchu looked helpless. He only said a few words, but it hurt their self-esteem.

It seems that this battle is inevitable.

His figure is like a ghost, shuttling among the people and dancing on the tip of the knife.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this was tantamount to running away in a hurry. In addition, he kept shouting "Stop! Stop!", which showed that the young man could no longer withstand the offensive and began to beg for mercy.

Xing Tiancai snorted coldly, "You want to beg us for mercy now? It's too late! Be careful not to offend the Xing family in the next life! The Xing family are all your ancestors!"
