Those who can be considered advanced players must have been through a lot of hard work and experience in dungeons. People like Yin Xiu and Ye Tianxuan are considered young among advanced players.
But the one in front of him was even younger, making Yin Xiu feel that the other party was just a child.
He looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, dressed in tattered clothes, and was very cute, appearing harmless. However, his face and body were covered with deep scars, almost obscuring his youthful appearance. The sight was shocking, causing Yin Xiu to pause in shock.
"You finally stopped and waited for me." Seeing that Yin Xiu hadn't left, the other person happily ran over, still very talkative, "Why did you run so fast? I've been chasing you for so long, I'm so tired I can hardly breathe."
His voice was indeed very breathy when he spoke, probably because he was still young and not very strong.
Seeing Yin Xiu staring at him without speaking, the other man continued his incessant chatter, "Why are you looking at me like that? I've practically delivered myself to your doorstep, why don't you kill me? You don't want to kill a child, do you? Are there any hunters who are this respectful of the elderly and kind to children?"
"But don't worry, I'm already eighteen. I just celebrated my birthday here yesterday. I'm an adult now."
He spoke with absolute certainty, then stared intently at Yin Xiu, looking innocent and harmless as he awaited his death, leaving Yin Xiu somewhat bewildered.
What a strange person. Are all the other high-level players this strange?
He didn't know that Ye Tianxuan was the only person he knew. Ye Tianxuan seemed quite strange, but this was the first time he had ever met such a strange child.
This was the first time Yin Xiu had encountered another player and felt hesitant and unsure of what to do.
He silently turned away, deciding to ignore him and go find the hunter first.
But as he turned to leave, the other person grabbed his cloak. "Don't go! You really won't kill me? Kill me first, okay?"
He could describe the murder as as simply as the little match girl trying to get him to buy a match, which made Yin Xiu even more suspicious of this person.
Yin Xiu yanked his cloak back, turned and ran. The boy chased after him at top speed, shouting, "Why are you running away again! Come and kill me! I'm really easy to kill! Don't go!"
Yin Xiu decided to ignore him and go find other hunters. He would shake them off if he could, and if he couldn't, then so be it.
But as he searched for the hunter, this man followed him like a little tail. At first, he could still shout a few words, but later he got tired of running and shouting and stopped making a sound.
It wasn't until Yin Xiu had ruthlessly killed one hunter and was about to move on to the next that he saw him slowly emerge from the night, looking exhausted. "Why do you only kill hunters? You're so strange. Why do you only kill your own kind? Are you a criminal among your kind? A bad person, right?"
Yin Xiu stared at him silently. "I don't kill players. You can leave."
"Huh? Why?" He spun around like a top to Yin Xiu's side, tugging at his cloak with a puzzled look on his face. "Why? You're a hunter, you kill your own kind but not players, as if players are your own kind."
He looked as if he had discovered something amazing, his face filled with shock. "You...you're actually a player, right?"
Yin Xiu felt very troubled and didn't know how to get rid of this person who was following him but posed no threat to him. He could only threaten in a cold voice, "I'm not a good person. Stay away from me."
Unexpectedly, the other person's face lit up with joy, and they said happily, "I'm not a good person either! That's great, I like people who aren't good people!"
Yin Xiu hesitated for a moment, feeling that this person was troublesome. He decided to follow him, not wanting to be held back by someone trying to boost his sales performance. He turned and ran away quickly. He couldn't possibly follow him until dawn and onto the hunter's ship.
Yin Xiu was busy all night. The hunters on the island were scattered, and no matter how many he killed, he couldn't kill another hunter with 28 kills. The kills were mostly increasing by one or two at a time. He even heard other hunters complaining that they couldn't find any players. They all seemed to have suddenly become very good at hiding tonight and had disappeared.
If the hunter's performance is poor, he won't be able to kill any hunters with good performance, so he can only slowly accumulate experience.
As dawn was breaking, Yin Xiu finished work and prepared to go home; it had been another tiring and hard-working night.
He turned around, preparing to head to the cruise ship by the island, but the boy was still following behind him.
As he reached the edge of the island, the boy saw him walking towards the cruise ship and asked, puzzled, "If you're a player, why are you pretending to be a hunter to go to their territory?"
As if he had just realized something, he asked excitedly, "Is there some different information among the hunters? Is that why you impersonated them?"
Yin Xiu ignored him, but the other person continued to say to himself, "I wandered around the island for a long time last night and didn't know a single word about the hunters, because they would pounce on me and kill me as soon as they saw me, and then they would die. I didn't even have a chance to ask for any information."
"I finally met someone special like you, and you didn't even kill me. You must be a player, right? Do you know something?"
"For example... a message about a special item in this instance."
Yin Xiu paused, turned around and stared intently at the player. Surprisingly, this person also knew about the items.
Seeing that Yin Xiu reacted, the other party said happily, "You know that item too? It's the one that can grant people's wishes. I came to this instance for that item! I heard that no one has ever obtained it before! I'm very curious about how to get it! So far, I haven't found any clues!"
Yin Xiu's eyes darkened. The other party was also after the props, so they were a competitor...
That item is for reviving Ye Tianxuan; there's only one, so we absolutely cannot let any other player take it.
Yin Xiu silently gripped the hilt of his sword under his cloak. He really didn't want to attack a player who looked so much like his former self, but if the other party would hinder him from saving Ye Tianxuan, he would have no choice but to be ruthless.
Silence fell between them.
The moment the other person sensed Yin Xiu's killing intent, their eyes brightened slightly, and their voice became pleasantly low, "So you finally want to kill me?"
Yin Xiu stared silently at his scarred face, holding the knife but not making a move.
In the midst of the utter silence and stiffness, the voices of other hunters could be heard in the distance. It seemed that dawn was approaching, and everyone was gradually heading back. Now, only the two of them were standing at the pier of the boat.
"Why can't I find any players tonight? How come they're all hiding so well?"
"I don't know. We didn't kill many players tonight... but quite a few of our own people died... So Yin Xiu is on this island after all."
"At this rate, more of our people will definitely die. This is troublesome. I haven't found a single player tonight."
As they were muttering to themselves, a hunter spotted the boy in the distance. Upon finally seeing the first player he had encountered that night, the hunter immediately rushed over, intending to kill him and boost his score.
But just as the black figure reached the boy, it was twisted into a small wooden doll and fell to the ground, just like the hunter before it had been.
Silently, without even seeing the boy move.
The other hunters who were also preparing to come over were stunned and stood there, unsure whether they should go forward or not.
Wow, that's amazing! Could this young man be Yin Xiu?
Amidst a horrified gaze, Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the person opposite him through the mask.
Sure enough... I feel that his props are very special. The two hunters he killed were both changed when they actively tried to kill him, plus he made Yin Xiu kill him right from the start.
Does he kill others only if they kill him in return?
