Excessive ferocity due to caution

Realizing something was wrong, Zhao Yi had a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

In the end, they locked onto Wang Chui.

"There's something wrong with this person..."

Zhao Yi did not rule out her initial idea.

He still harbored a high degree of skepticism towards Wang Chui.

Although Sudi is very capable, his acting skills are really terrible.

Zhao Yi didn't even bother to test her.

But Wang Chui is different.

In the eyes of the players in the live stream and their peers, Wang Chui had no flaws whatsoever.

Therefore, they did not understand why Zhao Yi was testing Wang Chui.

Little did Zhao Yi know that Wang Chui also had no flaws.

Because he had no flaws, Zhao Yi tested him.

A captain who seems to have no problems at all is itself a highly suspicious thing.

A test,

Many doubts naturally arise.

Zhao Yi carefully reviewed his main quest.

Their mission was to deliver a message to Pulse City.

Therefore, faith, the city of origin... both are indispensable.

And it seems that Wang Chui really is going to deliver the message.

From this perspective, Wang Chui's interests do not conflict with theirs.

Therefore, even if some players discover this, they won't suspect Wang Chui too much.

But with Zhao Yi... three new problems have arisen.

1. Were the four players really chosen by General Long to deliver the message?

Is Wang Chui really going to Pulse City?

3. Why are those infected (ghosts) so afraid of Pulse City?

With these three questions in mind, Zhao Yi glanced eastward, his expression subtle...

He seems to...understand a little bit.

...

In the distance, amidst the mist, a man in military uniform walked alone.

He walked and stopped intermittently, with corpses all behind him.

The corpse of a ghost.

He headed east, and soon after, a voice came through the communicator in his collar.

"A clever fellow escaped."

"Seize him, cut off his hands and feet, and bring him back."

The man in military uniform frowned and said:

"Have they regained their memories?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.

"Not yet... but he's too wary!"

"This guy can actually use the power of the 'Forgotten Walker'... That's incredible!"

"If we capture him, General Guan's experiments might be able to make some progress!"

The man in military uniform responded with a nod.

His chest suddenly turned a scorching red, atomic energy surging within, and his body instantly transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the depths of the eastern part of the mist...

If any players were present, they would recognize that the person in military uniform was none other than Li Dongxu, who had been sent away by Wang Chui earlier!

...

Zhao Yi couldn't go far in the fog.

With Wang Chui's help in providing a general location, Li Dongxu quickly found clues on the ground.

—A pile of infected tissue that had been cut up.

Traces of the Touch of Oblivion still remain on it.

Li Dongxu examined it carefully.

The traces on the ground were almost invisible; Zhao Yi's whereabouts could only be discerned from some extremely subtle details.

It was clear that Zhao Yi intentionally erased his traces when he left.

"What a cunning rabbit..."

Li Dongxu snorted coldly.

He continued his pursuit of Zhao Yi along the almost invisible, intermittent trail.

Before long, he arrived at a rocky canyon.

Li Dongxu felt that something was not quite right, but having already chased them this far, he didn't want to give up, so he entered the canyon.

Once inside the canyon, the tracks became increasingly clear.

Until finally, they entered a dead end.

Lee Dong-wook finally realized that he... had fallen for a trap!

Those marks... were left by Zhao Yi on purpose!

click-

Footsteps sounded behind me.

Li Dongxu turned around.

A smiling man with his hands in his pockets stood in front of him with his back to the starlight.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Dongxu squinted, the atomic core in his chest already beginning to heat up:

"Did you know I was coming?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"uncertain."

"But your arrival has just confirmed my guess."

"Thank you."

Li Dongxu scrutinized Zhao Yi for a long time, then said calmly:

Even if you knew all of this, what could you do?

"With your strength... you are utterly incapable of resisting!"

Zhao Yi took out his sister-slaying knife, held it in his hand, and let it bask in the starlight.

"No."

"It should be said that they were unable to resist."

"I... am a bit special."

After he finished speaking, his aura began to rise gradually along with his increasing power...

A strange black clone gradually appeared.

From the arms, to the chest, and finally to... the face.

Adorned with these tattoos, Zhao Yi no longer possessed his former dashing appearance; instead, he exuded an inexplicable air of malevolence...

Those tattoos, that sword that could kill a girl, and the smile playing on his lips hidden in the shadows made Li Dongxu's expression incredibly solemn...

"The communicator on your collar... is it connected to Wang Chui, right?"

"It's very well hidden..."

Zhao Yi slowly approached Li Dongxu with a knife in hand.

The sound of the knife tip slicing across the hard stone floor was pleasant.

It is a line of notes with no pattern.

Finally, Zhao Yi's aura reached its peak.

Darkest personality fully unleashed + Unleash the full power!

Strength is over 3000!

Lee Dong-hoon stared at the man shrouded in endless shadows before him, his face deathly pale…

The black runes on Zhao Yi's body were extremely mysterious. Less than half a minute after Li Dongxu stared at him, blood began to seep from his eyes!

The atomic core power in Li Dongxu's chest was pushed to its limit.

But her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

It seems to be desperately fighting against something...

"Killing you... will bring me one step closer to the truth!"

Li Dongxun knew he was no match for Zhao Yi, and he wanted to detonate the atomic core immediately to perish together with Zhao Yi!

But he clearly underestimated the speed of Zhao Yi's strike!

This cut,

From the martial arts manual of the Warring States period—Tang Zhan!

The Tang cleaver is a sword that cuts something in two with a single stroke!

The glint of the blade was hidden in the darkness.

Silver light shines from the smallest things.

He beheaded Li Dongxun in the blink of an eye!

After Lee Dong-hoon's death.

His two separated eyes still showed an expression of disbelief.

This stab not only frightened him.

It also startled the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream!

"Holy crap... that slash!"

"With Brother Zhao's financial resources, he can afford to fly?"

"Even airplanes aren't this outrageous! I'm starting to suspect it's linked to some extra system... This is practically cheating!"

"You're talking about cheat codes... some players actually do have them. Last time, several rising stars in the Soul Zone were exposed for having various cheat codes. Although they weren't as outrageous as the system cheat codes, they were almost like cheating!"

"I've heard about that too. There's this guy next door who's using an emulator, he's basically cheating, damn it!"

...

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Zhao Yi took the communicator from Li Dongxu's body, smashed it with the handle of a scalpel, and then began to dissect Li Dongxu.

The skill of dissecting an ox is so incredibly useful!

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi's understanding of the art of butchering oxen is not yet at a deep level.

The information that can be obtained is not comprehensive enough, and this information is easily destroyed during the dissection process.

For example, the infected animal that was previously dissected.

Zhao Yi only learned some of the more important information, the information that left a deep impression on the infected person.

Further details are unknown.

It only took Zhao Yi a very short time to dissect Li Dongxu.

The skill of butchering an ox continuously extracts memories from Lee Dong-hoon's body.

From his rapidly disappearing sea of ​​memories, Zhao Yi did indeed see some fragmented information that he wanted to see.

Seeing this information, Zhao Yi finally understood... what Wang Chui was going to do.

"No wonder it's called the quarantine zone..."

"So that's how it is..."

Zhao Yi muttered to himself.

P.S.: Goodnight!

I fell asleep at lightning speed tonight!

ZZZ……
