What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 868 The Great Secret: The Holy Lord is in the Royal City
Princess Viya's face was expressionless, her eyes fixed on the seemingly cunning young man who had already claimed credit for her work three times.

Very good, very good. Let's deal with this damn Nani first, then we'll deal with you.

Princess Viya was furious, and then she heard Zhou Shan, her most trusted chief guard, speaking in her mind again.

"How did Princess Viya get so big again? If this hundred-meter giant farted, would it really kill me?"

Viya: "???"

Her breath hitched, and she was genuinely considering whether she should transform into a hundred-meter giant and be the first to crush the guard captain in front of her.

He deserved to die just like Nani, but Princess Viya suppressed her anger because of her sister's good relationship with him.

Bai Wan's younger sister, Nana, stared at the screen in astonishment. When she saw the commander attacking her brother, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She was terrified that something would happen to her brother, but she never expected that he would become so strong.

Her brother had always been someone who needed her help.

Is my brother's true strength really that great? A glimmer of light inexplicably flashed in Nana's previously weary eyes.

My brother seems to have really changed.

Could it really be as Mom once said, that my brother has grown up?

Maybe my brother really could become my bodyguard.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about her brother. Now, things are getting harder and harder for her in the eerie game. If she were to die in the eerie game one day, her brother could still try to live on by himself.

Moreover, as guards, they have extra money and can afford to have a good meal of meat.

Nana couldn't help but lick her lips. Their lives were very difficult. They had to pay a strange tax with ghost coins, and she also had to support her brother. If her brother could become a guard and receive extra subsidies, they could celebrate and have a big meal.

Nana was somewhat happy at this moment, and even the social anxiety caused by her brother using her underwear was temporarily suppressed.

If the older brother passes the guard test, it doesn't matter how many underwear he wants.

Nana blushed slightly, wondering if she should give her brother a few pairs of underwear as a reward if he passed the test. She felt that her brother seemed quite interested in underwear.

……

Bai Wan, who had set an incredible record, showed a satisfied expression. However, he could sense several terrifying forces approaching him, a total of three.

Are the other three commanders going to make a move together?
No way, he can't beat them even if he doesn't reveal his identity. He just broke out of prison in the Royal City instance and unfortunately stumbled into the enemy's base. He hasn't even started collecting supplies and farming yet.

It's already difficult to fight one commander, let alone three at once, not to mention the legendary guy who's even stronger than a commander.

"Run! Follow me!" Fan Wenwen immediately shouted to Bai Wan.

Fan Wenwen seemed more familiar with the surroundings, and Bai Wan ran towards her without hesitation.

The other players who were watching the commotion stopped hiding and scattered, fleeing in all directions. The three commanders were about to appear, and staying there now would likely mean certain death.

The onlookers and ordinary people were terrified; everyone hid in their houses, filled with despair, and complained:

"Why are there always wanted criminals in our city? We can't kill them all."

“It seems like every few months a number of wanted criminals are created.”

"Our city is in such chaos!"

The people were filled with despair. They all thought of those terrifying days when the wanted criminals would break into their homes, demanding food and asking if they had any equipment. One old man even thought of his wife, who was in a vegetative state, and how the wanted criminals had forced their way to her side to talk to her and say they wanted to accept some hidden mission.

Those wanted criminals are devils, they're devils!
Bai Wan followed Fan Wenwen to a house next door.

Fan Wenwen glanced around briefly, then took out her key, opened the door, and hid inside.

“This place is safe. It’s a secluded spot I chose before I came. The owner of the house is dead. It’s an empty house, and I just got a copy of the key to the house.”

Before entering this game, Fan Wenwen had already spent a considerable amount of money to exchange for a safe house.

After Bai Wan and his companion entered the house, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky.

With astonishing speed, a tongue pierced through the clouds and slid rapidly down the street. Everything in its path was shattered, and some players who hadn't had time to escape were crushed by the tongue.

Because the tongue came so fast, it pierced through everything in the blink of an eye.

Even Bai Wan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly in surprise upon seeing this.

"what is this?"

Fan Wenwen, looking flustered, explained, "This is another leader, named Red Robe. Her attack method is that her tongue can extend infinitely and is extremely fast. Luckily, we hid in here in advance, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Bai Wan also breathed a sigh of relief; indeed, every commander was extraordinary.

The reason I was able to defeat Commander Yun so quickly was because the opponent's ability was 10 heavenly soldiers, while my own Binding Ghost was just the right counter to them.

This is a bit tricky. To meet the Demon Princess and inquire about her true identity, we must defeat these leaders.

At the same time, Bai Wan was annoyed when he saw the other person trying to lick him with their tongue.

If Fan Wenwen hadn't pulled him inside, he probably would have been injured if he had been suddenly swept away.

This is outrageous! I only imprisoned one commander, and the other side has three commanders coming out to arrest him. This is simply unreasonable.

That's infuriating. He can't take on three commanders at once. Once he's fully developed, he'll destroy the entire capital city.

Bai Wan thought to herself silently.

Thinking about it, Bai Wan glanced at the crystal key in his pocket. He had obtained it when he became the King of the Prison, but he didn't know what its effect was.

When Fan Wenwen saw the crystal key, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she said with some surprise, "This is the reward you received?"

"What, you know what this is?" Bai Wan asked curiously.

Fan Wenwen hesitated for a moment, glanced out the window, carefully drew the curtains and locked the front door again. Then she took a photo out of her pocket and said in a very low voice:

"Remember to keep this a secret; this is a photo I took in this game."

Bai Wan glanced at it curiously, and in that one glance, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, even more shocking than when he saw the demon princess.

This wasn't emotional, but physiological; the moment Bai Wan saw the photo, every pore on her body seemed to explode.

It was a shock that came from the soul.

The photos, as always, are in Fan Wenwen's style; the lighting is dim, and some parts are blurry.

However, it can be seen that white mist has risen somewhere in the photo, and what is faintly visible is a white staircase leading to the sky. The staircase seems to have no end, and there are inexplicable white shadows in the mist.

The stairs seemed endless. Whether it was an illusion or not, Bai Wan felt as if the songs of the dead were playing in her ears, leading to some unknown paradise.

The sound of the dead singing grew louder and louder in his ears. Then the staircase came to life. He seemed to see an eternal staircase, stretching towards the sky step by step. On each step, a white figure sang and danced, making joyful sounds.

Slowly, Bai Wan's vision began to accelerate, moving rapidly forward along the endless staircase. The speed was so fast that he could no longer see the shape of the staircase clearly. It was as if he was standing in a house, or as if he was climbing a ladder to heaven. He didn't know how long he had been moving forward, but finally he reached the end.

At the top of the stairs, in the air above, a huge figure sat on the top step, or perhaps stood; Bai Wan couldn't determine its location.

All he knew was that eternal gaze was fixed on him.

The moment Bai Wan saw that figure, his mind went blank, and he even forgot where he was.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Bai Wan regained consciousness when she heard Fan Wenwen's voice beside her. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, blinked, and looked at the photo.

It still seemed like just a staircase leading upwards through the mist, not extending into the sky; it all seemed like a mere illusion.

"What kind of photo is this?" Bai Wan asked, taking a deep breath.
