Chapter 526 Causes and Process
In the following days, the entire continent was shrouded in blood and gore.
Death and murder became a regular feature of the daily news.
In just ten days, more than fifty contact points of the Zero Point Tavern were destroyed, with a death toll of over a thousand, and all of them were elites!
From the southwest to the northeast of the continent, from the heavily defended city centers to the desolate and cold wilderness areas, news of death was everywhere.
The fourth-level creatures and even fifth-level creatures that were once so high and mighty have become the main targets of death during this period.
"Dead. Another level five creature is dead."
"This man's code name is 'Midnight Clock Tower', right? He is a legendary figure. I have heard of his story."
"I didn't expect that he would die at the hands of the masked weirdo."
"It is said that he was killed by the masked weirdo, not by surprise."
"The masked man smashed his head in front of many people..."
During this period, one legendary creature after another came to an end.
You know, in the eyes of many people, these legendary creatures are almost the spokespersons of "mystery" and "immortality".
In the past, the death of one person would cause a huge sensation.
But now, these people are like weeds, being harvested one by one by Su Xia, and dying without any dignity.
"Has anyone counted how many level five creatures have died?"
"Including this midnight clock tower, there should be more than twenty."
"The Zero Point Tavern has suffered a huge loss this time. These level 5 creatures are our foundation. If one dies, there will be one less..."
The strength revealed by the Zero Point Tavern this time really shocked many people.
After all, for an ordinary large organization, it is good enough to have two or three level five creatures, and some even have only one.
The Midnight Tavern was able to mobilize so many people, and we don’t know how many more will be there in the future.
However, no matter how many there are, they cannot withstand the killing of the masked monster!
If this continues, can they hold on?
"Haha, those villains in the Midnight Tavern have hit a wall this time!" At the forum, the captain of the large organization, the Fiery Suicide Squad, spoke up and stood on Su Xia's side without hesitation.
At the same time, the leader of another large organization, the Wilderness Survey Team, also stood up to express his support for Su Xia.
These two large organizations are very interesting.
Long before, when Su Xia was being chased on the sea, they had expressed their support for Su Xia.
Their organizations are all in the wilderness, scattered in the ruins of various cities, gathering and dispersing like the wind. They are not afraid of being surrounded and suppressed, so they have the confidence.
Their remarks were not surprising. What was really surprising was Luo Xi, the president of the Southwest Mercenary Union.
President Luo, contrary to his usual behavior, actually stood on the side of the masked man this time.
"I think both sides can sit down and have a good talk. After all, it's not a big deal."
What he said seemed fair, he just wanted to talk to both sides.
But if you think about it carefully, more than twenty level five creatures died in the Zero O'clock Tavern. Isn't this a big deal?
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could see that President Luo Xi clearly supported the masked man, and he was just short of saying it out loud.
"That's really weird. Doesn't he always hate masked weirdos?"
"Hehe, it seems that the rumors are true. When Town No. 7 was destroyed, he was caught red-handed by the masked man!"
Some were well-informed and quickly understood the reason.
Next, various major forces spoke out on the online platform to express their views.
Among them, most are trying to smooth things over, and few dare to express their subjective opinions. After all, neither the Midnight Tavern nor the Masked Stranger are easy to mess with, and neither side can be offended.
Now both sides are mad with killing intent, and we are afraid that they will accidentally kill passers-by who are watching the show.
Three days later, a truly shocking piece of news came out - one of the first generation veterans of the Zero Point Tavern died!
When this news came out, countless people were shocked.
"The first generation elder?"
"Is this news fake?"
"Didn't they say that every first-generation elder is a level six creature?"
"Besides, the elder should have his own protection team around him, right? At least there should be a few level 5 creatures with unusual talents in the team..."
When the news first came out, most people couldn't believe it.
That’s the veteran!
The veterans of the Zero Point Tavern are all heavyweights, legends among legends!
The man who was revealed to be dead this time
In that era, he was the embodiment of terror, and his code name was once able to stop children from crying at night.
He has a pair of daggers like fangs, and is proficient in assassination and sneak attacks. He comes and goes without a trace, like an invisible wind in the night, and has never failed.
And he awakened two talents.
Among them, the second talent is [Crisis Sense], which can help him detect the impending danger.
Even if a creature of the same level attacks him, he can predict it in advance and make corresponding preparations.
It can be said that he is almost impossible to kill!
Even the other first-generation veterans of the Zero Point Tavern were not sure they could kill him.
"This is impossible, it must be fake news!"
"Yes, there are too many fake news recently. Everyone should be careful to distinguish and don't be fooled!"
The various branches of Zero Point Tavern began to refute the rumors, saying that they were all rumors.
In fact, even the employees who refuted the rumor didn’t know whether the news was true or not.
They just acted as instructed.
However, not long after, the release of a video and more than a dozen photos directly shattered their rumor-refuting efforts.
In the video , Su Xia was seen cutting off the elder's head bit by bit.
“Boom!”
He threw the head to a stray dog on the roadside.
Several wild dogs rushed forward, biting and tearing madly, fighting for the head of the distinguished elder!
Then, Su Xia turned and left, and the scene froze at this point.
In the frozen picture, more than ten tragic corpses can be seen. Except for the elder, the rest are all members of his guard team.
"Ah—damn masked weirdo!"
On this day, an angry roar was heard from the basement of the Zero Point Tavern’s headquarters.
The death of a veteran is a huge event.
Even the mechanical race had never caused such serious damage to the Zero Point Tavern.
This was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face, mercilessly hitting the entire Zero Point Tavern in the face.
"Mobilize all your forces!"
"The masked man must be killed within one month!"
"I will never compromise at Zero Point Tavern!"
The angry senators convened a Senate and issued a joint order before the meeting ended.
Never compromise!
No matter what the cost, the masked man must be eliminated!
Therefore, in the following month, the smell of blood on the continent became even stronger. The number of dead members of the Zero Point Tavern was incalculable, and the number was so high that it made people numb.
Wars broke out in countless areas, and almost every day the hunting teams from the Zero Point Tavern had head-on encounters with masked monsters.
Every morning, people could hear news of the destruction of a tavern branch or the death of a level 5 creature.
According to incomplete statistics, during this period, more than half of the members of the Zero Point Tavern have applied to leave the tavern due to fear.
There was no way out. Both the tavern headquarters and the masked monster had gone crazy and neither side was willing to retreat even a step.
Most ordinary members just want to do some tasks and make a little money.
They didn't want to be involved in this killing between lunatics at all.
Just a few hundred bucks a month, why would you risk your life?
"Dead, all dead!"
"The branches in Haiyan City have all been destroyed, and the branches in Sponge City are gone too. Everyone is dead, one death more tragic than the other. Will we be the next?"
"Quit it now. Even the elders are dead. This matter is no longer something we can get involved in."
"During this period of time, stay away from the tavern branch and don't go back..."
More and more people are dropping out.
It is said that at the end of this month, the pub's exit application system was stuck because of too many applicants.
Even more people didn't even write a withdrawal application, but simply broke their identity cards and never returned to the pub.
On the last day of this month, the words "Bloody Moon" appeared on the headlines of newspapers in major cities.
As if they had agreed to do so, all news media reported this month's bloody killings on the most conspicuous front pages.
There are just too many deaths.
In the past, the Midnight Bar was very mysterious, and many ordinary people did not know about this organization.
But the killing and death this month have long shattered its mysterious veil.
These things cannot be concealed even if you want to. After all, there are big battles every night and the noise is terrifying.
During this bloody month, one party had a very subtle attitude, and that was the mechanical clan.
"Strange, the Masked Stranger and the Tavern at Zero are fighting like this, but the Mechanical Tribe is not making any move at all?"
"A few months ago, weren't the mechanical people still hunting down the masked weirdos all over the world?"
People noticed something was wrong.
In this bloody month, there were more than a dozen large-scale battles right next to the mechanical clan’s base.
The robots in the base did not move at all, just watching the masked stranger and the hunting team from the Zero Point Tavern fighting each other.
Logically speaking, they should take advantage of the opportunity and join forces with the Zero Point Tavern to attack the masked man.
Before people could figure it out, another explosive news came out.
The second elder is dead!
"What? Another elder died?"
Everyone stared at the latest piece of news in amazement.
This elder died an even more miserable death. His entire body looked as if he had been tortured to pieces. Not an inch of flesh and blood was intact on his body.
At the time of the incident, he was in charge of the underground of the tavern branch in the Southern Sea Lion City.
Then, in full view of everyone, the masked stranger fell from the sky like a meteor, and rushed directly into the tavern branch of this city, killing almost one person with every step. He killed from the ground to the underground, and with a bloody body, he killed towards the elder who was sitting in the deepest part.
The fight lasted only five minutes and the veteran's bones were broken all over his body. He lay in the ruins of the tavern branch like a dead dog, dying.
At that time, many people on tall buildings in the distance saw this scene through telescopes.
Some people also took cameras to record it.
Most of them are players because they are not afraid of death and can observe up close.
Under the gazes of countless people, Su Xia raised his hand and summoned thousands of metal fragments.
Each piece of metal fragment was spinning wildly and was extremely sharp, and it tore the elder to pieces as he screamed!
After Su Xia left, only a bloody skeleton was left there.
"This is horrifying! A veteran figure was skinned alive!"
"How painful is that?"
"hiss……"
Just watching those videos, people get chills and feel cold all over.
Level six creatures have very strong endurance, but that elder actually let out such a shrill scream, which sounded like the wail of a resentful ghost. I couldn't imagine the pain he went through during that time.
The tragic deaths of two veterans in succession have dealt an immeasurable blow to the image of the Zero Point Tavern.
Just as the captain of the Fire Suicide Squad said, they really hit a wall this time.
"The two elders are two level six creatures!"
"How many elders are there in the Zero Point Tavern?"
"Is that enough to kill?"
There is a lot of discussion outside.
Almost everyone was shocked by Su Xia's cruelty and power.
If the two sides continue to fight like this, will more and more veteran figures die? Who will be the next one?
It seems that the Zero Point Tavern is unable to kill the masked monster at all. Is there any need to continue fighting?
Not only them, but also many members of the Zero Point Tavern Hunting Team were thinking...
"The Masked Man is simply unkillable. Even the army of the Mechanical Tribe couldn't kill him. At that time, he was only a Level 5 creature, but now he is a Level 6 creature."
"He also has so many weird tools on him, like that alien sniper rifle."
"Alas, I don't know when this will end. If it weren't for the constraints of the contract, I would have wanted to leave the tavern a long time ago..."
Many members of the hunting team began to think of retreating. They didn't want to confront Su Xia head-on.
After all, if you run into it, you will die.
The tavern headquarters knew very well what they were thinking.
But because of the contract, the headquarters is not worried about these people rebelling.
So the killing continued.
A new bloody moon has begun!
"How long will the two sides continue to fight?"
"Come to think of it, wasn't the Masked Man also a resident of the Zero Point Tavern?"
"Yes, he is registered in the Coral City branch, and I heard that he has a good relationship with the members of the Coral City branch."
"How did they get to this point?"
Both sides have been killing each other for more than a month, but many people still don't understand the cause of this bloody massacre.
So, the captain of the Fire Suicide Squad posted on the online platform, and made a chronological table of the cause and effect of the incident to make it easier for everyone to understand.
"Everyone, take a look. This is what happened. It started with a guy called 'Xue Lin' in Yuling City..."
The captain of the Fire Suicide Squad spoke and asked the platform administrator to pin his post to the top.
Soon, his post became the number one trending search.
Countless people clicked on the hot search, and after clicking on the table he made, they finally understood the reason for this incident.
"What? Just because of such a small person?"
Everyone was shocked again.
Who is Xue Lin?
To be honest, in the eyes of many people, such little people are completely dispensable.
Just because of this thing, the Zero Point Tavern started a big fight and has been fighting with the masked monster until now, resulting in the death of countless legendary creatures?
