Chapter 316 The war had already begun, though unnoticed.
"Whose bounty is it? Mine?"

Wu Wang frowned, revealing a confused expression.

I may not be upright in my actions or walk straight in my own way.

But they are still very careful when doing bad things.

Who could possibly harbor such deep hatred towards me?
To be honest, he racked his brains but couldn't figure out who he might have offended that would warrant a bounty on his head.

Those high-level players who were previously scammed out of in-game items?

That shouldn't be the case! They even signed a contract that contained unequal terms.

If someone openly offers a reward for their own actions, it will definitely trigger the punishment mechanism.

Wu Wang is still quite reassured about the contract paper from the unscrupulous penguin.

He doesn't think any player has the ability to unilaterally terminate the contract.

I glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was on the phone.

He interrupted the other person, saying, "Your two uncles can take care of preparing the props."

"Come with me to the square now."

After all, the entrance to the [Spirit Disaster Plaza] is extremely special.

The time displayed is synchronized with real time.

The lesson Zhuge Yue had taught me was still fresh in my mind.

You absolutely cannot allow anyone to camp at the teleportation point where you enter the square.

Therefore, Wu Wang needs Xiao Xiao to go to the Spirit Disaster Square with him.

We can't let her be alone with her second sister outside.

"Huh? Now?" Xiaoxiao was a little confused.

But she obediently put down her phone and followed instructions.

"Higanbana, you just stay outside," Wu Wang said solemnly. "We'll go to [Spirit Disaster Square] and be right back."

Fortunately, when I confessed, I also mentioned the [Spirit Disaster Square] incident to my second sister.

Let her prepare herself mentally now.

"Oh, okay, go ahead." Wu Xiaoyou didn't detect anything unusual in her expression.

Deep down, he was filled with curiosity.

She also wanted to know what kind of existence the "Spirit Disaster Square" that her brother had mentioned was.

Unfortunately, I'm not a player.

Unable to enter that exclusive area.

After you are ready.

Wu Wang sent a meeting invitation to Xiao Xiao.

Just like when he entered Zhuge Yue's [meeting room] back then.

This ensures that the other person enters the square with you.

Your friend Yan Shuangying has invited you to join his meeting room.

【Agree to the invitation】

The moment of making a choice.

From Wu Xiaoyou's perspective, it's as if the two of them disappeared from the spot at the same time.

It's like something being erased on a blank sheet of paper.

There was absolutely no way to sense any of their presence.

It's as if they never appeared in this villa.

"Oh, this is so much fun, it's a pity I can't come along."

She sighed, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and started playing on her phone.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

Because the moment the two entered the Calamity Square.

She sensed a chill lingering around the villa area.

Thanks to the [Yin Body]'s ability to connect Yin and Yang.

Wu Xiaoyou's perception of ghosts and other spirits is even stronger than Wu Wang's.

Even before entering the villa area.

In fact, she had already sensed that there were quite a few weak spirits among them that were completely unable to affect the living.

This situation is actually quite common in places where there are few traces of human life.

For example, in cemeteries and other similar locations.

Spirits with strong obsessions or resentment can even retain some of their consciousness, just like Nie Xiaoqian inside her.

Wu Xiaoyou had previously seen eerie scenes of many spirits chatting with each other in front of tombstones.

Wu Xiaoyou was amazed by the high-class dialogues such as, "My grandson kowtowed to the wrong grave yesterday, and if you don't kowtow back to him now, you're NTR'ing me," "It's only right that your grandson kowtows to me twice. He stole our offerings, and he's lucky he didn't have nightmares about us," and "You dare to have nightmares about my grandson? I'll send him a dream and tell him to go to your mother's grave and steal your mother's offerings."

In short, these are what people call "wandering ghosts".

The development area of this villa district is extremely large.

It's understandable that some graves of wandering spirits were dug up during construction, and given the already small population, it's reasonable that weak, wandering spirits were left homeless and wandering about.

So at first she didn't pay much attention to these spirits.

But just now.

The moment Wu Wang and Xiao Xiao entered the [Spirit Disaster Square].

Wu Xiaoyou keenly noticed that the range of these spirits' wanderings was beginning to become more regular.

Overall, they gradually approached and surrounded the villa where they were.

"interesting……"

"Perhaps these spirits are not wandering ghosts?"

Wu Xiaoyou continued drinking her tea.

Nie Xiaoqian's shadow had already appeared on his shoulder.

They cautiously made their way towards the outside of the villa.

Following closely behind was an exquisite white fountain pen.

Although the Ouija board spirit said it looked down on Nie Xiaoqian.

But I still followed her out just in case something happened to her.

Don't assume that the Ouija board is weak and poses no threat just because of its previous abstract behavior.

That's because it had previously dealt with Wu Wang.

This brat is immune to curses thanks to the Abyss God.

If it were in front of other spirits or living people...

The curse of the Ouija board is actually quite deadly...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Boss Yan, isn't your conference room a bit too... uh, too plain?"

Xiao Xiao really couldn't think of any adjectives to praise Wu Wang's [meeting room].

It was described as simple and unadorned, but in reality, the house was bare.

Looking at it, you can't see any equipment other than the conference table.

There wasn't even a chair!
It's the kind of situation where even a thief would leave two hundred dollars with tears in his eyes and comfort Wu Wang by saying, "We're all trying our best to live."

"You don't know anything. This is called Syrian war damage minimalism."

Wu Wang smacked his lips.

This girl's words are like asking, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

Does she really think everyone is as wealthy as her?

I save my in-game currency for when I see something good in the Daily Shop and buy it.

Where did they get the spare money to renovate the meeting room?
Besides, I don't usually use this shabby place.

I don't even have many friends, what's the point of holding a trade fair?

Pushing open the meeting room door, I stepped into the square.

The two hurried towards the Hall of Justice.

The place is still bustling with people.

The shining light bulb above is still waiting for someone to draw a dragon on its left and a rainbow on its right.

This time, Wu Wang unusually refrained from using flashy attire to attract attention.

After all, last time he was here, he was controlled by the [Excess Data Processing System - Taihu Light].

That is, the president of the Tarot Club had his eye on it.

I'm just here to check the bounty poster.

Let's not let that witch be brought out again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, who exactly is this [Yan Shuangying]? A nobody player is suddenly listed so high on the bounty list, it's making me a little tempted."

"Yeah, how about we guys form a group and go unbox it for him offline?"

"Don't jump to conclusions. There's something fishy about this. I suggest we observe for a while before making any decisions."

"..."

What's slightly different from before is...

Today, the busiest place in the [Justice Hall] is not the front desk where appointments for assessments are scheduled.

Instead, it was in front of the giant bulletin board on the side, which was as tall as a two-story building.

This is the [Hall of Justice] where bounty missions or bodyguard missions are posted.

The giant bulletin board is divided in two.

The left side is red.

The right side is white.

The bodyguard assignments on the white side were sparsely arranged.

Some missions now offer rewards of tens of thousands of Calamity Coins and [Fine] or even [Epic] items.

And still, no one took the orders.

Even the lowest-level bounty on the bounty list only requires a reward of calamity coins.

Many people also found it very interesting.

Any player of the Calamity knows this.

It's incredibly foolish to act as someone's bodyguard in a dungeon.

Unless you are really short of money or urgently need a certain item that happens to be included in the bodyguard's mission rewards.

Otherwise, not many high-level players would be willing to go into dungeons to protect others.

After all, the dangers of dungeons are not as simple as the difficulty they appear to be.

To put it bluntly.

Even a level 30 player who is careless in a medium-level dungeon.

There is also a high probability that they will die.

After all, many deaths in dungeons are not direct.

Rather, it was a death induced by some supernatural mechanism.

It just means that the mechanics are easier to break in lower-difficulty dungeons.

This does not mean that advanced players can withstand these supernatural mechanics.

Running dungeons by yourself might be okay.

But when it comes to protecting others...

No one can guarantee that the employer is not mentally unstable.

It's important to understand that the elaborate schemes of a bad person are often no match for the quick wit of a fool.

What if the employer is an idiot and triggers some kind of instant-death paranormal mechanic while you're in the dungeon?

Then you can wait until you die to go to his grave and steal offerings to vent your resentment.

The bounty list is different.

Most of these bounties contain some information about the person for whom the bounty is offered.

If you are a player who is good at tracking.

Perhaps we can use this information to open the box in real life.

There's only one thing left—

That means killing the other party.

This kind of simple killing is much easier than a bodyguard mission.

Because high-level players are very likely to be able to easily overpower and kill low-level players.

This is why the personnel on the bounty list change quite frequently.

Especially those wanted criminals whose bounties have been almost completely exposed.

Basically, none of them survive a week.

However, there are always exceptions.

The top ten on the bounty list have remained consistently high and have never disappeared.

These are all well-known high-level players who frequent the plaza.

Killing them would come at a great cost.

Basically, these costs far exceed the bounty reward. And there's also the possibility of being killed in return.

Players who are capable of killing them will feel that it is a thankless and inefficient effort.

Players who cannot kill them are left with no choice but to turn their backs.

But today, an unknown player was added to the list.

The bounty amount surged to twelfth place on the list within just ten minutes.

His head is now worth 10 Calamity Coins, ten [Epic] items, and a clue to obtaining one [Legendary] item.

This bounty reward is enough to arm a high-level player from scratch to the teeth!
And it is still steadily improving.

They might soon break into the top ten!
Most importantly, his bounty information clearly states—

This player is currently active in the capital city.

This is a very rare bounty posting that directly marks the target's location!

For players who possess all sorts of strange items.

After determining that a person is in a certain city.

All we need is a tiny bit more accurate information.

It's only a matter of time before we find him.

There are always some people whose bizarre props are so incredibly effective at finding people.

"Damn it, I'm near Beijing right now. If anyone can find a way to get Yan Shuangying's face, I'll immediately assemble a team and pull off a heist!"

These words also stirred up many independent gamers in Beijing.

However, some players in the crowd were just watching and having fun.

They exchanged a knowing glance—

They were all people who had signed contracts on the Mary.

It was because I had come into contact with [Yan Shuangying].

Therefore, they paid close attention to any news about this person.

Strangely, as of now, the only information available about [Yan Shuangying] is the content of the [Relics Battle].

Recently, there has been an additional piece of information that can help [Xiezhi] solve cases in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

He was like a reclusive master who had suddenly appeared.

Even though the above information has given [Yan Shuangying] a little bit of recognition.

But that information only circulated within the three major organizations and among players who were deliberately paying attention to his intelligence.

For most free players.

【Yan Shuangying】is still an unheard-of player who seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Because I don't understand.

So I'm not afraid.

Looking at the eager expressions of these free players.

The unlucky guys who had signed the contracts could hardly hide the smiles in their eyes.

Go! Kill them!
A master who has direct contact with the Venerable One is not someone you lowly soldiers can kill.
If you know this and still don't give up...

So you are this one (manually gives a thumbs up).

If you really manage to kill them all.

You guys are even more so (give another thumbs up).

"Excuse me, buddy, make way. I want to go up and see what's going on with the leaderboard."

Just then, behind the burly man who had been clamoring to form a team and pull off a heist...

A man standing next to a little white-haired girl patted him on the shoulder and said calmly.

This made the muscular man turn around and glare at him fiercely.

He muttered curses, "Damn it, where did this brat come from? A bounty like this is none of your business!"

He is a level 29 advanced player.

They frequently hunt down people listed on bounty posters.

His highest achievement was even killing a player ranked 19th on the leaderboard.

Therefore, he is considered a prominent figure in the Hall of Justice.

And because he often hangs out in this area, he knows most of the famous bounty hunters, or at least recognizes their faces.

The only redeeming quality of this pretty boy in front of me is that he's good-looking.

He probably used his looks to trick a white-haired loli female player into pretending to be a pro, and then wanted to show off in front of the bounty list to make her even more infatuated.
Damn it, I just can't stand these pretentious guys who make a living off their looks!
Suddenly, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Not only the players who recognized Wu Wang's face and had signed contracts, but even those who had joined in out of curiosity about the bounty list couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Only the muscular man who turned his back to the list seemed somewhat confused.

What's wrong with these people? Are they starving?

"The rankings... the rankings information has been updated!"

"I have a good relationship with this guy," a player said tremblingly.

This made the muscular man turn around and take a look.

The updated information is still about [Yan Shuangying].

This time, based on the address in the capital city.

Next to it was a picture of Yan Shuangying.

The information was provided by the anonymous person who posted the bounty.

He looks young in the photo and is incredibly handsome; he's the kind of person you'd never forget after just one meeting.

Yes, it was truly unforgettable.

Because the muscular man realized he had seen this face just a second ago.

Snapped--

Wu Wang patted his shoulder again.

He grinned broadly and said, "Hello, my name is Yan Shuangying."

"I heard you wanted to kill me? How many mothers do you have that you'd dare do? Are your mothers bought in bulk?"

"Also, bro, your trapezius muscles are pretty big from working out."

"I hope your brain is this big when I pry it open."

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

The muscular man felt his heart rate skyrocketing.

Even though the [Spirit Disaster Square] explicitly prohibits players from engaging in harmful actions against each other.

He still felt waves of panic.

The murderous intent emanating from the pretty boy in front of him was almost tangible.

Those around even felt that the air seemed to have cooled down by a few degrees.

Arrogant!

Extremely arrogant!
This was the first impression Wu Wang gave to everyone.

Given that it was placed so high on the bounty list.

He actually swaggered over and watched with everyone else.

And then there are those who insult and provoke without ever using a swear word.

Does this guy have absolutely no idea what fear is?

The Xie Zhi, standing not far away, witnessed this scene.

He stepped forward almost without hesitation, wanting to greet Wu Wang.

Most people here recognize the Xie Zhi.

In this way, he can also rely on his identity as a member of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs to make people wary of him.

Let them know that Yan Shuangying is connected to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs!
Do not have any improper thoughts about Yan Shuangying!
"Yan..."

However, the words were not spoken yet.

Wu Wang's piercing gaze fell directly on the Xie Zhi.

She shook her head slightly at him.

This is to signal the other person not to come over at this time.

He forcefully swallowed back the greeting from the Xie Zhi.

His eyes were filled with worry for his friend.

Wu Wang did not want to use the name of the Bureau of Strange Affairs to shield himself from disaster.

Firstly, this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

There will always be some mad dogs who will try to take risks.

If the Xie Zhi were to step forward at this time, it would affect its own status.

After all, this could be considered an act of smearing the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

When he gets back, Xie Zhi will definitely be criticized and denounced.

After all, the bounty notices from the Hall of Justice are not a blacklist.

It's more like a way for players to recruit others to help them seek revenge.

Without affecting ordinary people and social order, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs cannot arbitrarily intervene in revenge between players.

Secondly, compared to being resented and having a bounty placed on one's head now, it's better.

Wu's death was related to something else entirely.

"How did the person who put a bounty on my head know I was in the capital?"

The face that was hung up was that of Yan Shuangying.

It is not a representation of one's own appearance.

This proves that the other party has most likely only been acquainted with the identity of "Yan Shuangying".

How do people who know about the existence of [Yan Shuangying] determine their place in reality?

unless……

The other person has met you in real life!
Wu Wang's brain was working at lightning speed.

He used his own face when he came to Beijing, and it hadn't changed at all, even when he checked into the Sanchun Hotel.

After confessing to her second sister, she used the "Yan Shuangying" face on her way to the post office.

Due to the evolution and upgrade of [Vision of Truth].

Therefore, Wu Wang could see the ID of every player he encountered during this process.

Whether it's a chance encounter on the road or a few scattered free players discovered inside the [Post Office].

None of them were IDs I recognized.

In other words, the ID of the person who posted the bounty is a player who is relatively unfamiliar to them.

And there must be some recent grudge between him and me.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have posted themselves out at this particular time.

But if you're relatively unfamiliar with someone, you shouldn't have any enmity towards them, and you certainly shouldn't have seen their face before.

These points are completely contradictory!
The entire logical chain is incomprehensible.

"We met in the capital...we were relatively strangers...and had a grudge against each other..."

Although it is somewhat contradictory and strange.

However, after forcibly connecting these key points...

A truly outrageous person popped into Wu Wang's mind.

"Ethan! Ethan!"

"This guy is the one who put me on the bounty list!?"

After the other party inexplicably erased all traces of him as a player.

He then put a bounty on himself in a way that he himself could hardly understand.

He even saw his own face disguised as a jewelry store owner!
How do you know what Yan Shuangying looks like?

Damn it! What exactly is the effect of this guy's rule-based item?!
How could so many bizarre things be done out of thin air!

For the first time, Wu Wang felt a sense of crisis.
