Excessive ferocity due to caution

At the station entrance, Fang Bai and his two companions were blocked by a group of people.

They were menacing, with cruel and malicious smiles on their faces.

Armed with weapons, they cornered the three men within the safe zone of the grocery store!

Upon seeing this, Liu Han's usually honest face revealed anger!

"Xiang Weishan!"

"You fucking dare to scheme against us!"

Xiang Weishan, carrying takeout food, stood behind the crowd and coldly smiled at the three of them:

"Otherwise what?"

"Are you going to wait until you finish your mission before I go and die?"

"If anyone's to blame, it's Zhao Yi. After all, he approved this butcher mission!"

Liu Han clenched his fists tightly, wanting to rush forward, but Fang Bai held him back.

"If you rush over there now, you'll only get your legs broken!"

Fang Bai was also furious, but he was still able to remain rational.

The opposing side had a large and powerful force, and they were completely unable to pose any threat to Xiang Weishan!

"Stop them! Don't let them leave the station!"

Xiang Weishan gave orders to his underlings, then leisurely left the station.

Looking at the players eyeing him menacingly around him, and glancing at the terrifying butcher in the second-floor butcher shop frantically hacking at human bones with a knife, Bai Shuiji's smooth forehead broke out in a nervous sweat.

Are you all stupid?

"Work for Xiang Weishan!"

"Can't you tell what kind of person he is?"

"He can betray us today, but you can do it tomorrow!"

She tried to provoke the crowd with her words, her eyes sweeping across many faces. Bai Shuiji could tell that these people did not genuinely want to follow Xiang Weishan.

They were willing to help Xiang Weishan only out of fear!

This guy is ruthless and vicious, and he also has connections within the guild, so no one dares to betray him!

They had witnessed Xiang Weishan kill many players before, so they couldn't help but feel afraid of this man!

So even though they knew that what Bai Shuiji said was true, no one was willing to make way.

Bai Shuiji panicked and suddenly rushed into the gap in the crowd, seemingly trying to break through the encirclement while the crowd was stunned. However, she was grabbed by the hair and punched and kicked a few times in just a few breaths!

Among them were some lecherous old men who tore off her clothes and groped her repeatedly.

At first, Bai Shuiji let out a piercing scream, but soon she could no longer scream. She collapsed to the ground amidst a brutal beating, spilling food all over the floor!

She clutched her head tightly, letting out a faint moan.

His clothes were tattered, covered in bruises and bloodstains, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.

"That's enough! Stop it now!"

"Don't kill him!"

"Those who want to increase their kill count, do you want to enter the Killing Battlefield?"

Upon seeing that Bai Shuiji was on the verge of death, the kind-hearted Fang Bai hurriedly let out a roar, and the group of people who were beating Bai Shuiji suddenly woke up as if from a dream and quickly scattered.

Seeing the pitiful woman covered in blood on the ground, they broke out in a cold sweat!

Just now, they were so focused on venting their anger and fear that they almost beat Bai Shuiji to death!

Fang Bai stepped forward and, amidst the watchful eyes of the group, carefully dragged Bai Shuiji back to a safe area.

"Th-thank you..."

Bai Shuiji said weakly.

Seeing her like this, Liu Han plopped down on the ground, muttering absentmindedly:

"It's over..."

"We're all going to die..."

"Xiang Weishan is right... It's all Zhao Yi's fault... If he had insisted on the second or third option, maybe none of us would have died..."

Fang Bai frowned upon hearing this and said:

"What kind of trash talk are you spouting?"

Liu Han turned his head, his eyes already bloodshot!

Did I say something wrong?!

"If he hadn't said to leave it to fate, would we be in this state now?!"

"If he hadn't agreed to let Xiang Weishan join our team, would we have been betrayed by him?!"

Fang Bai said coldly:

"I think you're fucking crazy!"

"Have you always been a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?"

"Xiang Weishan harmed you, but you don't dare to lay a hand on him, so you're taking your anger out on your own people?"

"Have you forgotten who carried you to the rewards in the last dungeon?"

Seemingly having been touched on a sore spot, Liu Han suddenly sprang to his feet, grabbing Fang Bai's collar and shouting wildly:

"Say it again?"

Seeing the furious murderous intent in Liu Han's eyes, Fang Bai shut his mouth.

"I'll kill Zhao Yi... As long as I kill Zhao Yi, Xiang Weishan will definitely let me leave here... He definitely will!"

"Then, I'll use the excuse of delivering takeout to escape back to the guild headquarters... No matter how powerful Butcher is, he can't kill me in the apartment... That's right... I'm going to kill Zhao Yi right now!"

Having lost his mind due to fear, Liu Han muttered to himself for a while, then stumbled and ran towards the second floor. Seeing that Liu Han did not leave the station, the others didn't bother with him, and many even followed behind Liu Han to watch the commotion!

"Zhao Yi!"

"Zhao Yi, you come out here!"

Liu Han pulled out his signature weapon—a crowbar made of bone—and, looking like a madman, stared at Zhao Yi, who was enjoying his meal in the butcher shop!

He wanted to kill Zhao Yi, but he didn't have the courage to enter the butcher shop!

The tall, menacing butcher, exuding a terrifying aura, made Liu Han's limbs go weak!

Zhao Yi looked up at Liu Han and smiled:

"Want to eat beef together?"

At this moment, Liu Han was in stark contrast to his usual honest and simple self; his expression was ferocious, clearly indicating that his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

He pointed the crowbar at Zhao Yi and growled:

"You come out here!"

Zhao Yi stared at Liu Han's expression; how could he not know what he was thinking?

After chewing slowly and carefully, he said to Liu Han:

"I've discussed it with Mr. Butcher, and we can take a few people with us."

In the blink of an eye, Liu Han, who was furious, calmed down.

He was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat at a loss, but his eyes were filled with immense joy!

"Are you...are you telling the truth?!"

Zhao Yi:

"Of course it's true."

"Otherwise, how could I be sitting here so leisurely eating?"

"Oh, by the way...did you need me to come out because you wanted to?"

Liu Han, concealing the crowbar in his hand, stammered:

"Ah... I wanted to ask you, have you thought of any way to complete this mission...?"

Zhao Yi smiled, his eyes narrowed upon hearing this:

"I see!"

"I thought you were going to kill me to curry favor with Xiang Weishan!"

Liu Han's face visibly stiffened for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile.

"How could I... You are my great benefactor, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"I'm counting on you to get me out of here later!"

He awkwardly put the bone crowbar back in his hand.

Fang Bai, who was at the top of the stairs in the distance, helped the weak Bai Shuiji up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Yi was alright.

"Do you want to eat meat?"

Zhao Yi asked loudly.

Fang Bai glanced at the terrifying butcher at the door and hurriedly waved his hand, but then seemed to remember something, so he gritted his teeth and dragged the half-dead Bai Shuiji toward the butcher shop.

Actually, there were quite a few players lingering at the escalator entrance on the second floor, but they dared not approach the butcher shop or any of the other dark-looking specialty stores.

In the pitch-black darkness inside, it seemed as if pairs of sinister eyes were coldly watching them!

After passing Liu Han, Fang Bai glanced at the embarrassed Liu Han with disgust, then led Bai Shuiji past the butcher and forced himself to sit opposite Zhao Yi!

"Zhao Yi... have you found a way to finish the killer game ahead of schedule?"

Seeing Zhao Yi eating so confidently, Fang Bai asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yi shook his head.

"without."

Seeing him like this, Fang Bai's heart sank to the bottom.

So... is Zhao Yi just waiting to die?

Looking at the meat in front of him, Fang Bai was overcome with grief.

This could very well be my last dinner!

Jesus had several dishes left on his table, while I could only have some braised beef.

Thinking of this, Fang Bai grabbed the braised beef on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it fiercely!

Oh shit!

So be it!

Even in death, I'll be a well-fed ghost!

Liu Han, who was outside, saw that Fang Bai and the other two had entered the butcher shop without any problems, but he himself was still hesitant.

After a stalemate lasting about half an hour, a hoarse laugh came from the first floor of the station!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I won!"

"I won!"

"You will all die!"

"Die, all of you!"

Fang Bai and Liu Han turned around, their faces turning pale.

It's Xiang Weishan!

He is back!

The disheveled figure appeared from the stairwell a hundred meters away, one arm missing and his body covered in bloody, gaping wounds!

Clearly, delivering food is not an easy task!

He stumbled into the butcher shop, his face covered in blood and contorted with rage. Looking at the people sitting inside eating meat, he grinned maliciously:

"What kind of bullshit newcomer ranking is this?"

"Fight me against Wei Shan?"

"You think you're worthy?"

"I only used a little trick, but I didn't expect a fool like you to actually fall for it!"

"You piece of trash dare to call me brother with Xiang Weishan?"

Zhao nodded, indicating that what you said made a lot of sense.

"really."

Xiang Weishan snorted coldly. For some reason, he felt particularly displeased looking at Zhao Yi's calm and composed demeanor.

Pretending to be calm when death is imminent?

Let's see how much of a show-off you are!

"Butcher!"

"I've successfully completed your game and was the first to deliver your food, now... give me my reward!"

Upon hearing this, the butcher, who was chopping bones, slightly bent his head, picked up his cleaver full of bits of meat, and slowly approached Xiang Weishan.

At the second-floor stairwell in the distance, a group of Xiang Weishan's underlings watched this scene with excitement in their hearts!

Although they didn't have any goodwill towards Xiang Weishan, they were working under him after all. If Xiang Weishan became stronger, their status among the newcomers would naturally rise as well!

Xiang Weishan looked up, staring directly at the butcher, a wicked and exaggerated smile curving his lips.

He knew that as long as he completed the task, the NPC would not harm him again!

At that moment, he felt as if the Dragon King had returned!

come on!

come on!

A district-wide notice!

I want to be the most handsome guy among the newcomers!

I want everyone to know that what you can't do, Xiang Weishan can do!

And that slutty woman named Liu Ruoqing... Haha, she'll definitely look at me differently now, right?

If we sleep together later, won't we just become my playthings?

...

In that brief moment, countless scenes of his future glory flashed through Xiang Weishan's mind, and his smile became increasingly unrestrained!

He was jolted awake from his dream when a piercing pain spread from his stomach to his internal organs!

He slowly lowered his head.

His gaze fell down and he saw a huge iron hook pierce through his flesh and enter his abdominal cavity!

His clothes were stained with blood.

Fear pervaded the air.

"No……"

Xiang Weishan's lips trembled, his eyes glazed over.

He couldn't figure it out.

He was the first person to complete the task, and he did everything the butcher asked, so why did the butcher choose to kill him?

Those five people, Zhao Yi, are the ones who deserve to die!

It's them!

They're the ones who deserve to die!

It wasn't me!

Why?

Why!

All sorts of doubts gathered in his heart like streams, eventually converging at a special point.

—Zhao Yi.

Xiang Weishan slowly turned his head.

Zhao Yi, who was eating beef, was also smiling at him.

Polite and elegant.

He was very elegant.

But it made Xiang Weishan feel an overwhelming sense of despair!

He realized that he had ultimately been outmaneuvered by Zhao Yi!

Xiang Weishan stretched out his hand to Zhao Yi, his eyes wide, and uttered two words with difficulty:

"Help me..."

Zhao Yi approached the butcher, looked at the dying Xiang Weishan, and lazily flicked his bangs with his remaining middle finger, saying:

"Why did you provoke me for no reason?"

"You regret it now?"

Xiang Weishan had long lost his former ruthlessness; the fear of death permeated every corner of him, making him appear extremely humble!

His lips trembled as he begged for mercy like a dog:

"I...was blind to your greatness..."

"Please...spare my life..."

Zhao Yi didn't answer, but raised her hand and gave him the middle finger with a bright smile!

The next moment, to Xiang Weishan's utter horror, the butcher's cleaver came crashing down!

Heaven and earth lost their light.
