“Song and Dance, why did you do this?!”
Mao Mao glared angrily at the girl in front of him, who was crying with her head down.
“I didn’t mean to! Shishi is my good friend, I just—”
“Enough—” Jiang Wulang interrupted coldly. “Mao Mao, take her outside.”
“President, I really didn’t mean it! I just said it casually, I didn’t know Shishi had a grudge against Silent. I truly didn’t intend to leak any studio information! You have to believe me!”
“Get out!”
Jiang Wulang shouted sternly, then slammed his fist on the table, his expression darkening.
The girl pulled out by Mao Mao was still crying at the door of the studio.
“Song and Dance, do you understand the terrible impact your actions have brought to the studio? The trouble you’ve caused for Silent?”
“I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to…”
“This time, think carefully about your actions.”
Standing aside, Wise Hui patted his shoulder, shaking his head to signal him not to get involved any further.
Inside.
“Wulang, we can only clarify things with Silent now and do our best to minimize the impact.”
Pan Wuxin looked heavily at the messages flooding the Forum, his unease gradually expanding.
"Heartless, get online now and warn Silent. My game time is about to hit the limit."
"It's too late—"
He pulled up the Live Stream video on the Light Screen.
In the video, a large group of players was chasing after an Agile Figure ahead.
The person was clad in Skeleton Graveyard Dungeon gear, appearing thin and frail yet exhibiting extraordinary Agility. The camera angle only captured the flowing black hair flying behind her, occasionally catching glimpses of her swift movements as she turned and shot an arrow. The shimmering light from her Dark Green Longbow obscured much of her face.
Even though they couldn't see her clearly, both Jiang Wulang and Heartless knew that the one being cornered and hunted in the video was Silent.
Her fierce movements carried an overwhelming momentum, and wherever her Arrow Tip landed, it signified a swift death.
Ice Blades and fireballs flew toward her, but under her strange maneuvers, most were Dodged. Her elegant footwork allowed her to evade continuous critical attacks with ease, moving like a nimble fish.
As she dashed forward, weaving through the trees with composure, there was no sign of panic or distress. The Black Iron Arrows she Rapid Fired sliced through the encircling players like a massive sword aura, while the shockwaves from her Explosive Arrows erupted in bursts of white light.
Who danced in the hands of death, and who managed to escape?
【Team Channel】Qin Huai: Let go of the Kill Value; I have a way to handle the Red Name.
In his view, the girl pressed her lips tightly together, her expression serious. Seeing her fluctuating Health Bar made him realize she was enduring attacks to prepare for a counterstrike. If this continued without a priest, they would have to rely solely on potions to hold out. Their supply of Health Potions was insufficient, and more players were closing in. If they couldn't recover in time—
Letting go of the Kill Value might complicate things later due to dealing with the Red Name issue, but for now, it seemed like the best choice.
Thinking of the Special Fishing Rod he had exchanged from a traveling merchant, he quickly eliminated a player and shouted, "Don't hesitate, let go of the Kill Value!"
At the same time, he instantly entered Stealth mode.
Under Eagle Eye, he saw Qin Huai stealthily approaching the enemy's group of priests. She drew her bow and nocked an arrow. "Whoosh—" Rapid Fire, Double Shot, Rapid Arrow Barrage!
A wave of skills rained down, and the Black Iron Arrow flew forth with a menacing aura, piercing directly into the Player Team. The sound of impacts echoed as crimson Damage Values surged forth in rapid succession!
"Ahh—"
The white light heralding death swept away a portion of the melee fighters' Health Bars.
Kill Value was completely released.
Seeing more and more players gathering behind him, three waves of teams totaling around a hundred people approached.
Some joined out of curiosity, others were incited to join, and the last group was those drenched in blood. Leading the charge was a team from the Blood Red Guild along with several players who held grudges against her.
[Team Channel] Silent: Let's take out those leading few first.
In response, a rogue in Stealth darted into the ranks of the Blood Red team like lightning, his fingertips glimmering coldly.
Chokehold!
Bone Extraction!
Stun Baton!
A wave of skills crashed down.
"Ahhh—"
The screams echoed.
White light filled the air.
Following closely, the Explosive Arrow suddenly detonated, and the powerful shockwave swept away the remaining health. The few players who survived in the hands of the Black-Clad Thief saw their Health Bars drop to zero in an instant, and the team was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
"Brothers, there are only two of them! Let's overwhelm them with numbers and we can get the Guild Establishment Order right away!"
"Charge! The Guild Establishment Order is on Silent!"
"Guild Establishment Order!"
"For the Guild Establishment Order!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several groups of players who had been watching eagerly felt a surge of motivation and joined the fray with full force.
In the distance, Crimson Dusk and Crimson Elite arrived at the scene, a cruel smile creeping onto their lips.
Silent, let's see where you think you can run this time.
"Charge!"
With a single command, the crowd below surrounded the area, and more than a dozen thieves vanished into thin air.
In the midst of dodging, Yan Yan felt a heaviness in her heart as she noticed movement thirty yards away.
Eagle Eye!
Combat Intuition!
Sure enough, shadows were swiftly approaching her.
【Team Channel】Silent: You take out the blood-colored priest and the ranged attackers; I'll handle the thieves and melee fighters.
Under the siege, the two who were once enemies surprisingly found a rhythm in their cooperation.
【Team Channel】Qin Huai: Understood.
Activating Combat Intuition as well, the Black-Clad Thief's Peach Blossom Eyes glimmered with a chilling light. Who lives and who dies would depend on who was stronger!
He propelled himself forward, his mysterious steps creating heavy shadows—Shadow Step!
His figure transformed into an afterimage, weaving through the chaotic crowd. The dagger in his hand gleamed ominously, leaving behind a trail of cruel cold light. The Killing Intent coalesced like a tangible force, wrapping around the struggling prey like icy wires. Wherever the cold light touched, white flashes erupted.
Chokehold, Stun Baton, Bone Extraction!
Instant kill!
"Watch out! There's a thief here! Protect the priest—"
“Ah—”
It was too late.
Beneath the Black-Clad Thief Black Veil, a bloody and cruel smile curled at the corners of his mouth. His fingertips seemed to merge with the dagger, the glint of its blade slicing through the air as it traced a deep line across the vulnerable neck of his prey, marking a Health Bar that pulsed with the rising Kill Value, the name glowing red and vivid.
Stealth!
Chokehold—
“Mmhm—”
Three-Stage Slash!
Fire Wall Technique!
The Chokehold skill was instantly interrupted, and the Black-Clad Thief, now exposed from Stealth, stood revealed in front of everyone, his glaring red ID practically a moving target in their eyes.
“Quick, take him down!”
“He’s Red Name! Attack—”
“The thief is Red Name! Everyone, attack!”
With his Red Name standing out, the tall figure of the Black-Clad Thief weaved through the wall of players. The rapidly descending Health Bar signaled danger as he was bombarded by a flurry of attacks, each hit racking up high red Damage Values.
He fished out a Health Potion and gulped it down quickly, but despite the dazzling array of attacks, his precarious Health Bar continued to drop. In that split second, he glanced towards a girl thirty yards away. Their eyes met perfectly—her pupils dark as ink—and the dark surge of her Rolling Black Eyes suddenly pierced into him deep down. In that moment, he felt that perhaps being focused on by so many wasn’t so important after all.
Because his girl seemed to be safe.
Most of the players drawn in by the Red Name surged toward the center where the Black-Clad Thief was located.
From the very beginning, Yan Yan had been under heavy fire, constantly in a state of counterattack. Even if her true Kill Value was released later, it would barely reach five points.
Seeing the encirclement gradually loosening, she knew that with just one Dodge followed by a Web Pull, she could escape.
But then—
That person.
The encirclement filled with players grew tighter, and the tall, slender black figure became increasingly blurred.
She pulled back her Longbow, and a thin thread shot out from the Spider Silk Ring.
Web Pull!
The Emaciated Figure soared high, flying over the wall of players, dodging the fireballs and Ice Blades raining down from above, and evading the Cold Arrows.
At the moment when the Black-Clad Thief's Health Bar was about to drop to zero—
Qin Huai felt a darkness above him as a shadow fell. Suddenly, a cold shout reached his ears, "Hold tight!"
Immediately after, a thin arm wrapped around his waist.
Three-Stage Slash!
Double Shot!
An unexpected attack surged toward the girl's frail back!
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, forcefully pulling the girl’s thin shoulders and turning to block the blow.
She couldn't fall; the Guild Establishment Order was still in effect.
“Puff—”
“Ugh—”
A bright red Red Damage Value floated up, and in the instant her Health Bar hit zero, a Stand-In Doll was released from her arms.
“Whoosh—”
With a flick of his wrist, both of them were lifted into the air!
“Quick, use the Floating Scroll! We can't hold on with Web Pull—”
The man's Peach Blossom Eyes widened in shock as he pulled his gaze away from the fallen Stand-In Doll. He swiftly tore open the Floating Scroll in his hand, tightly wrapping his right arm around the girl, a charming smile plastered across his flustered face.
“Ha ha ha—”
A muffled laugh escaped from his Crimson lips.
Trapped against his shoulder, Yan Yan couldn't see his Beauty. Hearing the joyful laughter and feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat against her chest, she frowned and said, “The crisis isn't over yet. What are you laughing about—”
Laughter abruptly ceased.
“Ahem—nothing.”
“After the Floating Arrow disappeared, you slipped out of combat.”
Every escape counted, especially since this time, being hunted by players was entirely her fault.
“What, trying to be a hero?”
“Who’s trying to be a hero? You could have circled around and ambushed from behind, but you chose to dive into the fray. What are you trying to test?”
“Testing you.”
Testing your heart, whether it still beats.
In the moment of landing, the Black-Clad Thief released his grip on the girl’s arm and immediately entered Stealth.
Yan Yan furrowed her brows, unwilling to delve into the words that had just struck her heart. In that instant when she lowered her gaze, a fierce killing intent surged back into her eyes, and her attacks became increasingly ruthless and decisive.
“They're coming down—attack quickly!”
“The target is within Attack Range, hurry—Mage, raise the Firewall; the Black-Clad Thief has gone Stealth!”
The heavily injured priests were nearly wiped out under Qin Huai's onslaught, with only one remaining, frantically waving his staff as a miscast Recovery Spell fell off during a Dodge.
“Whoosh—”
The sound of arrows breaking through the air echoed as the Black Iron Arrow struck the priest's fragile throat, leaving no time for a Recovery Spell. In an instant, the priest was eliminated.
The terrifying Instant Kill Power was on full display.
Whoosh—
A Rapid Arrow Barrage followed!
Double Shot!
Arrows flew from the Dark Green Longbow, creating bursts of blood among the crowd. The light arrows left behind a chilling trail of Killing Intent, and wherever they passed, white light erupted.
It was a massacre.
The rising Kill Value quickly turned her name red.
"She’s gone Silent Red! The Guild Establishment Order is on her! Quick, explode—"
"Brothers, explode the Guild Establishment Order and reach the peak of life to marry a rich beauty!"
"Brothers, charge—"
A swarm of Melee Players surged forward, blocking all her escape routes. Magic Skills rained down from above, instantly taking away half of her Health Bar.
The only Stand-In Doll she had was already used by Qin Huai. The traveling merchant had only three items left for sale.
In a moment of desperation, her gaze fell upon a Black Bottle.
Gritting her teeth, she decided to use it now—
Plans would be made later.
The moment her fingertips brushed against the bottle's surface.
"Swish—"
The thief's Mother Claw suddenly latched onto her waist!
As the pulling force surged, at the moment she was lifted off the ground, the raised silk grazed past the incoming Ice Blade, swept by a fireball, and dodged a Cold Arrow. With her figure soaring towards the person standing on the branch in the distance, a faint sliver of health barely remained in her Health Bar.
In that fleeting moment, as she brushed past death, she seemed to hear a low, raspy chuckle beside her ear.
"Is my technique for holding people better than his?" (To be continued.)
