Chapter 63 This Crime
The killing shook the entire gaming forum.
Although they already knew that this world was crazy and chaotic, this was the first time the players experienced it firsthand.
"Look Up at the Stars" requires players to be 18 years old to play, but many younger players have unlocked the game using the identities of their older brothers, sisters, or other family members.
This kind of bloody, violent and extreme images should not be seen by these children.
"What's going on? Why aren't these images blurred?"
"What kind of game is this? This game of yours is causing great harm to people!"
This early morning, countless questioning voices were directed at Blizzard Games.
But the company's answer was quite simple and crude: "The game world is already running autonomously, and the company will not interfere. Anything that happens in the game is beyond the company's control. As for mosaics... what's the point of playing the game if that thing is installed?"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless parents immediately made complaints by calling.
Of course, some of these parents are real, while the others are the operations of other game companies.
Complaints are made in the name of parents to destroy the rival company's products, and finally all public opinion is directed towards parents and ratings. This tactic has been tried and tested.
"Look Up at the Stars" was so popular that many game companies were keeping their eyes on it, waiting for it to make a mistake.
But the tricks that had always worked in the past didn't work this time.
Those complaints received no response and fell on deaf ears.
Such a serious incident didn’t even make it to the hot search list.
So some conspiracy theories emerged.
For example, the boss of a gaming company is the second generation of someone, has connections somewhere, etc...
But any external interference cannot affect the game.
The game runs as normal.
At this moment, Luoxing Town.
The hunter became the hunted.
“Boom…”
The body of a mercenary fell to the ground, covered with tiny holes left by metal fragments.
The joining of Su Xia and others instantly reversed the situation of killing.
In the eyes of many players, this battle turned into a crushing of five high-level NPCs against this group of low-level mercenaries.
"Is this how the game works? The bad guys will be punished?"
Some people think that even without the participation of players, there will be NPCs to save the town.
Others cheered: "Great kill! Send these damn mercenaries to hell! That's where they belong!"
"What an amazing ability, controlling metal, did this game buy the copyright of Magneto?"
Many players' attention was attracted by Su Xia. Of course, what they saw was just a game NPC named "Masked Stranger".
Su Xia also deliberately left some mercenaries unkilled.
He severely injured some of the mercenaries, and then left them in front of the resurrected players and the remaining townspeople, letting them deal with it themselves.
This body cannot be upgraded, so it's useless to kill more monsters.
It would be too easy for these mercenaries to just kill them.
Su Xia knew that mercenaries who fell into the hands of the townspeople would die in a more painful and tragic way.
Some mercenaries were scared and begged for mercy in fear: "Let me go, I am innocent, and I don't want to do those things, but if I don't do it, other people in the organization will treat me as an alien!"
One player kicked him viciously and cursed: "Damn it, my teacher's whole family died in your hands, and he begged for mercy from you, did you let him go?"
"I……"
The mercenary's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he tried hard to think of words to beg for mercy.
But any words seemed pale and powerless in the face of his previous actions.
Some mercenaries were still arrogant and shouted: "You lowly people, do you know who I am?"
"Snapped!"
Regardless of his identity, the angry townspeople went up and slapped him a few times.
The mercenary was beaten so hard that his mouth was bleeding, but he still yelled crazily: "I was hired by the city lord to eliminate the resistance organization. How dare you lowly people resist? You will all die! Hahaha..."
"What?"
Hearing this, the many surviving residents of the town looked at each other in bewilderment.
There is something very little known about “License to Plunder.”
The players also didn’t know, so they couldn’t understand why this guy was still so arrogant when he was about to die.
Who gave him the right to be so arrogant?
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, the mercenary laughed arrogantly: "In the left pocket of my clothes, there is a robbery permit. Take it out and have a look. You lowly people, what I do here is legal! Even if I kill your whole family, it is legal!"
"What license?"
One player didn't believe it, so he walked up to the guy, slapped him in the face, and then reached into his left pocket.
Soon he took out a yellowed certificate.
It is exactly the same as the license the Blood Red Mercenaries had previously held, allowing the mercenary organization to take action against "problematic villages and towns."
"Fuck, it really is a license to plunder! What kind of English behavior ?" Many players widened their eyes. It was unbelievable that the mayor of Coral City had such a low standard.
After the shock, they handed the permit to the remaining townspeople.
Seeing the bloody words on the license, the residents couldn't believe it.
"How...how could this happen?"
The towns and villages in question?
Who can prove that the "problem" exists?
Just because of a fictitious charge?
"Did everyone die in vain..."
Some people retreated in a daze and sat down beside the bodies of their loved ones.
This town did nothing, there was no resistance here at all.
The war is over, and everyone just wants to live an ordinary life. As long as they can stay alive and have something to eat, they can live here for the rest of their lives.
But now...
Being alive has become a luxury!
One player angrily cursed: "What the hell is this world? Let's rebel!"
"Yes, that's the opposite! Staying here is just waiting to die!"
"Damn it, this is just to drive people against us!"
The players were outraged. They were all strangers in a foreign land. If they lost this novice village, they could still go to the next one.
At this time, Su Xia came over carrying the half-dead leader of the Pi Xiu mercenary organization.
The man's name was Zhao Dalong, and he also had a robbery license.
The arrogant mercenary just now was the second in command of the organization, and the players found a copy of the license on him.
Zhao Dalong possesses a psychic power of level 2.8, which makes him considered a strong man anywhere.
But at this moment, his legs were broken by Su Xia.
“Boom!”
Su Xia threw it casually, like throwing away garbage, in front of everyone.
Zhao Dalong was covered in blood, lying on the ground, shouting, "I am the city lord's man, who are you? How dare you attack me?"
"Didn't you watch the news yesterday morning?"
Su Xia looked down at him and stepped on his head.
Zhao Dalong had never been treated like this before. He struggled madly, lying on the ground like a twisted reptile, roaring angrily: "Let me go! If you dare to kill me, your whole family will die!"
"Oh, I'm an orphan."
