Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 27: Insults Deserve Retribution
“May these people be resurrected to a good place.”
Floating in the air and watching the tragedy happening in the forest below, Li Linhun shrugged indifferently.
"If you like PK, then keep PKing. The nightmare world never stops for a moment. I sincerely hope these players can find their destiny here."
"That means these players' accounts are useless?"
Looking at the shadow beasts chewing on the players' corpses and equipment, transforming into shadows that gradually merged into the ground, Alice shivered uncomfortably.
This is really too cruel. Although the man who sacrificed the entire Tianqiu City with blood was essentially a good person to talk to, this could not change the nature and degree of terror brought about by their actions. Just like Hitler was also a good man who cared about his family, but this could not hide the fact that he was the leader of the Nazi Party.
The accounts of hundreds of players in the entire Wuwei League were directly thrown into the nightmare world, and then they used their influence to issue a hunting order to these local snakes. Each of these shadow beasts has a record of the appearance of all the players, as well as the smell and taste of them. And the shadow beasts will gradually pass this information to every creature in the nightmare world through diplomacy and actions. Let those nightmare creatures who are deeply aware of the reputation of the Purifier and the White Knight continue to hunt down those players.
This means that as long as the players cannot escape the radiation zone of the shadow beasts, they will basically die. The shadow beasts have the ability to affect the resurrection position of the players in the short term. If the players are unlucky, they can be said to never escape the range of the Black Forest of the Nightmare World.
Because of the system update, players' resurrection theories began to be influenced and analyzed by NPCs. It was a cool thing in theory, but in reality it became Li Lin's accomplice.
In other words, these players who are keen on PK killing finally got a taste of what they often do to others.
They are chased 24 hours a day, constantly blocking the resurrection points, and even attacking when they are offline. A shadow beast may jump out from the shadows at any time and bite off their heads. Moreover, some special shadow beasts can even simulate the players' faces. A huge monster suddenly appears in the middle of the journey and eats all the companions around in one breath. This kind of extremely bad game experience also happens frequently.
Les Miserables is never a place where you can farm . Just like its name, if you mess with some strange things or humans, there will always be things that no one wants to see. Although the person involved is in pain, it is very happy in the eyes of the bystanders.
"And I haven't blocked all their paths. They are actually still very likely to be saved."
If only they could find a crack.
Looking at Alice's somewhat subtle eyes, Li Lin lifted Alice up in mid-air with magic power and shrugged calmly.
Facing such a Li Lin, the former female anchor showed a little confusion, and couldn't stop looking at Li Lin's face . The look of staring at people carefully made people feel a little uncomfortable, so Li Lin subconsciously replied.
"What are you looking at? What's wrong with me?"
"No, I always feel like you're a different person than you are now."
"There are always times when people are serious and times when they are relaxed... When it's time to be serious, be serious. Be as cold as winter to your enemies and as warm as spring to your friends. And to be honest, the reason they pissed me off wasn't because of anything else, but because of the saying that you shouldn't play e-sports when you're old."
Thinking back to how arrogant those people were, Li Lin's expression became even more gloomy and numb.
"I didn't want to play games at this age. I also wanted to make some contributions in my job at this age, but unfortunately, there is nothing I need to do in reality. What these players say and do has nothing to do with me strictly speaking, but they insulted me. Not only did they trample on my good intentions, but they also insulted me personally. I think this is a very serious matter."
"Maybe to them it's just the usual trash talk, the kind that everyone can say a few words. But I personally don't like this kind of thing, especially when it's related to age and events. I don't like this kind of joke, I really don't like it. If someone says this to me in real life, I will break up with them. If someone says this to me in the game, then like now, I will kill them directly so that I can't play anymore. Because I personally hate this so-called joke. Their teasing about age is no different from the ultimate humiliation to me. That's why I do this."
"Besides, they probably enjoy this feeling, don't they? A group of players who like PK and killing people, when someone comes to block their door and brush the resurrection point, they must have been prepared. At worst they can delete their account and start over, and I won't care about them. I am a very tolerant person."
Forget it. I’ve calmed down now. It doesn’t matter anymore.
It was over, and it was time to go back to college to have some rest. I left with a lot of anger.
Li Lin looked at the nightmare kingdom below which had become completely dark, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and snapped his fingers to open a flashing space door.
"…Are you having a hard time in reality?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Looking at Alice who was hesitant to speak beside him, Li Lin shook his head.
"Let's forget about real life. It doesn't matter what happens in the game. It's just a game after all. But I won't meet you in person, don't worry."
"I have never mentioned the idea of meeting in person, right? I just think you have a lot of stories to tell. But since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"It's boring to talk about it, so let's just leave it at that... White Knight, you finish it. I'm very happy now."
"Yes, to the Lord be the glory forever."
Looking at Li Lin and Alice who opened the space door and left directly, the white knight who stepped out of the light gate nodded respectfully.
The summoned White Knight was responsible for the final process - cleaning all traces of players left on the ground. Those players might be able to survive because of something, and the White Knight was the scavenger who cut off the last glimmer of hope.
Slowly descending from midair to the ground, a layer of gray-white holy land surrounded the White Knight. A blazing white cross emblem lit up in his pupils. Compared to the White Knight when his magic power was awakened, he now looked more elegant and dignified, as if he was the embodiment of holiness and correctness. However, on the ground where he passed, countless skeletons crawled out of the soil, and maggots emerged from their rotten bodies, following closely behind him.
However, just as the White Knight was walking and tidying up, a sharp red light suddenly appeared behind him.
"Meteor - Explosion!"
"……?"
He turned his head subconsciously, and a red figure flashed in the pupils of the knight in white.
