Fang Ran took a wobbly step back, before letting out an ear-piercing scream!
His shrill scream caused Si A look at him speechlessly. "Calm down, take a good look at me. I'm human."
Fang Ran's jaw dropped. He was at a loss for words. He stared blankly at Si A who was continuing slurping his noodles.
Fang Ran, who was in a state of confusion and conflict, turned straight back to his silly self.
"Big Brother A, aren't you supposed to be dead…" Fang Ran pointed at Si A with a trembling finger, feeling tongue-tied.
'Also, this is obviously a luxurious jewelry shop, where the hell did your Master Kang Fresh Shrimp and Fish Instant Noodles come from!'
He was so nervous and at a loss that this ludicrous thought just popped up in his mind then!
Si A looked at him strangely, before replying casually, "Huh? What are you talking about? People don't usually die in Night Battles. It's just that this scenario is special and the elimination method is by way of being a corpse."
'What?!'
'People don't usually die in Night Battles?!'
Fang Ran had 'are you kidding me' written all over his face.
'Why don't I know about something like this!'
Fang Ran was dumbfounded. He then stiffly recalled what the system had said when he had been dragged in from the women's locker room all of a sudden.
'Participants can win by eliminating others amidst the wandering monsters…'
'Seems like elimination was indeed mentioned…'
'F*ck, no way!'
'If nobody can die, then doesn't my hot-bloodedness and righteousness from before just made me look like a total fool!'
"Hey Fang Ran, if you are interested, you can find a camera at the place where you died, and see how you looked when you died, heh," Si A said with a smile. He then walked over to Fang Ran's side and vigorously clapped the dazed, jaw-dropped Fang Ran on the shoulders. Subconsciously, Si A assumed that Fang Ran must have hidden somewhere before being killed by some other participants at the end… Oh, no, eliminated.
"Let's not talk about this, Fang Ran. Hahaha! Do you know? After I was killed, it seems that an outsider came in to disrupt the scenario and killed all those people who conspired against me!!!"
"Hahahaha! It's so satisfying! Daring to offend the various forces, including the officials, Adversity and maybe even Midnight, I only have one thing to say. Respect!"
Si A said while still laughing loudly! However, he did not notice that when Fang Ran heard this, his body started to shake.
Shaking uncontrollably, he lifted his hand that was trembling as well and slowly covered his face.
"A debtor must pay his debt, a murderer must pay with his life!"
…
"All of you! Don't even think about escaping!"
…
"Ordinary people can go crazy too!!!"
…
Recalling how he had behaved in the past few hours, Fang Ran seriously wanted to give himself two tight slaps.
His mental activity full of psychological drama, as well as all those utterly stupid things that he had shouted.
'Not only that, but I also despicably used all kinds of methods, launching sneak attacks, causing confusion, deceiving, and relying on the bizarre magical powers of a magical girl to kill everyone else.'
'Yet, they are all alive now, and there may be various forces behind them…'
'I used all sorts of despicable means to kill them once, and offended everyone in one shot…'
His vision blacked out, and the room was spinning!
'Ffff*…'
'F*ck, exactly w-w-w… what stupid and crazy thing have I done!'
He covered his face with all his might and roared hysterically in his heart!
'And you b*stard Si A! Why didn't you tell me about such an important detail!'
'F*cking give my sorrow and hot-bloodedness back to me!'
'Dad! Mom!'
'Your son, Fang Ran!'
'Really wants to die!'
"Hahaha!" Si A laughed heartily. Clapping Fang Ran's shoulders like an older brother, he pointed at the interface in front of him and said, "Look at these stupid idiots being so flustered and exasperated at being killed!"
"Tsk tsk, I just wonder who that person is, how did he get in, and why was he so ruthless about it?" Si A pondered curiously as he stroked his chin.
'It's precisely because of you!'
'Do you f*cking believe that I'll f*cking stab you to death with this cool and enhanced belt right now!'
Fang Ran stared at Si A resentfully. Then, he opened the interface while trembling. Ling once told him that when the scenario ended and was closing up, there would be a period of time for participants to communicate.
Or… Throw out threats.
The light blue interface opened up.
"Who are you?!"
"Who are you?!"
"Who are you?"
"Don't let me find out who you are!"
Evidently, these were the D-grade participants who had died from Fang Ran's sneak attack. The corners of his mouth twitched. His fingers were trembling as he continued scrolling down.
"Adversity won't let you off!" The voice of the woman in professional attire was filled with rage. 'This guy actually dared to use the appearance of my loved ones to make me hesitate.'
"The China Official will remember this matter." At the end, the official uttered in a simple sentence, as concise as always.
Each time Fang Ran finished reading a comment, the corners of his mouth twitched. When he finished reading the last three comments, Fang Ran felt chills down his spine.
"Big Brother Ai… Adversity and the China Officials are…?"
Fang Ran finally asked Si A in a quavering voice sprinkled with a tinge of hope.
Si A, who had already returned to slurping his noodles, heard his question and raised his head up. He explained nonchalantly,
"Oh, those are the names of two of the largest forces in Night Battle. Adversity is the largest non-governmental organisation and is at odds with the Officials."
"Hey, Fang Ran, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, just that my legs are jelly now."
Hearing Si A's explanation, Fang Ran felt his vision blacking out and the lacking blood supply to his brain. As his legs turned to jelly, he leaned against the wall.
Looking at the strong and forceful 'threats' on the message board, he felt…
Like the sky had collapsed.
[Ding! Do you wish to accept the reward]
Just then, the system notification suddenly popped out. With nothing left to live for, Fang Ran clicked on 'yes'. His feeble gaze did not even land on the interface.
[Summing up your performance, A-grade Night Equipment ZXC9, Night Raven, has been released]
Hearing the system notification, Fang Ran, who had an expression of disillusionment with human society and praying for death, turned his head around and looked at the Night Equipment that he had exchanged in return for offending various major forces through his madness and stupidity.
"Night Raven…"
'What bloody name is that, hah…' Fang Ran sighed to himself, without realizing that his message board interface was still open.
Then, a strange message appeared under a bunch of threats.
"Ding… ding… ding… ding… ding… ding… ding… ding…!!!"
Suddenly, Fang Ran noticed that notifications kept popping up on the message board as if it had taken an aphrodisiac. Before he could take a look, Si A's surprised voice rang out,
"Fang Ran, hurry up and take a look! Yo, that guy actually dared to leave a name?! That guy is called Night Raven?"
Fang Ran snapped out of it, and with the expression like he was on the brink of tears with an 'What the f*ck, no way' expression on his face, he slowly looked towards the message board.
"Night Raven"
"I'll bear it in mind."
"I will not forget how you used illusion to spring a sneak attack on me."
"You actually dared to leave a name. Very well, I look forward to seeing you next time."
Fang Ran was speechless.
'No! That's not what I meant!'
Fang Ran looked at his message board sullenly, his mind filled with a single thought,
'It's over, this time I'm completely done for.'
'Those big shots must think that I am provoking them and that I'm f*cking fearless.'
'Holy sh*t!'
'This is not normal! Shouldn't the standard pattern be me offending a second-generation rich kid who is especially easy to deal with, then acting cool and bashing him up, and then winning the heart of the beauty in the end?!"
'How did I jump straight to offending country-level forces?!'
'System, you tricked me again!'
"Fang Ran, what's the matter with you, you've been acting very weird since just now."
"Lushan Rising Dragon Lord!!!"
"F*ck, what are you doing, Fang Ran?"
"Don't move, let me punch you!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Lushan Rising Dragon Lord!!!"
"Hey, Fang Ran. Just give up, you won't be able to hit me."
"I'm not listening! Die! Lushan Rising Dragon Lord!!!"
…
…
On the helipad of the high-rise building, Su Qun was standing on his spot, allowing the night wind blow at him as he recalled in detail the exchanged blows in his fight with Night Raven, and mused about what on earth had happened in the end. Suddenly, he caught sight of something on the spot in front of him, where Night Raven had once stood.
He walked over and picked that thing up. 'Night Raven's belongings?'
After picking it up, Su Qun was stunned.
It was a box of female lingerie that had yet to be opened.
