"Brother Han Gui, this is awesome!"
Xinyue had dug out the crystal core from her kills and Han Gui felt a little bitter. He had not been slacking off, so why wasn't he getting any crystal cores?
Just as Han Gui was feeling frustrated, the triangular military knife he had been stabbing with suddenly hit something hard.
Han Gui was startled. Could it be?
He used the knife to dig into the head and finally managed to pull out a crystal core that emitted a faint red light. Han Gui felt mixed emotions. He had finally found a crystal core!
It had not been easy!
"Wow! Brother Han Gui, I got another one! I got another one!"
Xinyue's excitement was apparent through her chest as well. Any man who saw her at this moment would go weak in their knees. Her breathtakingly beautiful figure made Han Gui's lower half restless.
Han Gui looked at Xinyue hatefully and said, "I will deal with you when I get back!"
She immediately shrunk back with a bitter face, as if she had gone too far while looking at the two crystal cores in her hands.
After checking all the corpses, Han Gui was feeling very gratified. Out of the 68 corpses, he had managed to obtain two crystal cores. It was not bad. He had saved at least 200 points. If he simply stayed at home, no points would have come to him.
Han Gui turned and look further into the darkness. More monsters started to appear and approach them.
Just as Han Gui was about to continue moving forward with Xinyue, he suddenly heard footsteps and curses behind him.
"B*tch, stop right there! Are you trying to run after killing our people? That's an intermediate zone you're heading to. Let's see where you can run to!"
The person the group of people was chasing after was running from them in a sorry state. She did not expect the other party to be so strong and relentless.
Aria had been exhausted after killing nearly 200 monsters. How could she give away the crystal core that she had obtained with great difficulty?
She initially pretended to want to give the crystal core away. But as she did, the triangular military knife in her hand immediately pierced through a player's neck in an instant. She tried to kill the second player before the others could react, but she failed.
She was immediately sent flying with a kick. Her stomach felt like it had been tied into a knot, but the kick she received was also a blessing in disguise - it gave her a headstart in her escape.
Using her movement technique to avoid the monsters that surrounded her, Aria ran among them in a sorry state. However, the more she walked, the colder her body felt.
The deeper into the darkness she went, the stronger the monsters. Eventually, she started to find it difficult to dodge them. If it were not for her killer instinct, she might have been knocked to the ground halfway through.
Her body started to feel heavier. But the relentless curses from behind her made her mood even heavier. An intermediate zone? An even more powerful monster zone?
Aria eventually looked up and was surprised. Her eyes met those of the novice winner from her game, the one who wanted to kill her when they met on the streets earlier today.
As an assassin, Aria's perception of murderous intent was exceptionally sharp.
When she saw the corpses lying on the ground by Han Gui's feet, Aria felt despair. Wolves were coming from behind but a tiger stood before her. She feared that she would not have a chance to survive today.
As for Han Gui, he was very surprised. He did not expect to meet this woman here. Speaking of which, their meeting had been effortless.
When he saw the players chasing after her from afar, he smiled. It seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to kill her.
As for the reason, it must have been nothing more than lust or to rob her. Would there be a reward for killing someone in this area? If there was...
The next Infinite Game was six days away. There was no other way to earn points until then. If the rules of Infinite Game applied here, this could also be considered a way to earn extra points.
The triangular military knife in Han Gui's hand glimmered with a cold light as he slowly walked towards Aria.
The players who had been chasing after Aria saw Han Gui and the scattering of corpses behind him. Their eyes started to fill with fear. They stopped chasing and immediately retreated.
Han Gui was somewhat disappointed. He had been looking forward to killing those players to see if he could get points too. Unfortunately, they were pretty fast runners and it would not have been worth the chase.
"We meet again. Speaking of which, we seem to be fated. It has only been two days but we've met four times, right?"
Aria knelt on the ground as she did not have the strength to run anymore. Her attractive face looked up, revealing a masterpiece as if she was carved out by God. She was not that much more inferior to Xinyue.
"I want to know why you are so determined to kill me. Ever since we met in the resolution area, I could already feel your hostility towards me. You even deliberately lured me out here today, and your killing intent is still so strong."
Aria was panting as she spoke. She was exhausted from all the killing and running that every breath she took felt like a steel knife scraping against her chest.
"Reason? There really isn't one. In Infinite Space, a person is a walking point. So anyone I meet is my enemy. If I don't keep my defenses up, who knows when I'll be the one to be stabbed instead? Moreover, you, woman, also give me a sense of hostility so I know I should not take you lightly."
Aria was an assassin after all. So she knew what Han Gui meant instantly. Anyone alive was a potential enemy. She also wanted to kill everyone at all times, but it was a pity that she didn't have the strength to do so.
"I don't want to die. I don't want to give up. I want to know, how can I survive? What do I need to do? I am willing to swear an oath to be loyal to you.
"I have many skills - I am one of the top three assassins on Earth. I am proficient in all kinds of fighting techniques and firearms. I can help you. Give me time and I will be your most capable helper."
Her offer was very tempting. But...
Han Gui's hand was already on Aria's neck. Her skin was very smooth and delicate. Under normal circumstances, she did not look like a cold-blooded killer at all. It was a pity that such a beautiful woman had to be killed by Han Gui. It was just too unsafe to keep a threat so close to them.
"Your offer is very tempting, but I'm sorry. You still have to die. The more skillful you are, the more dangerous you are to us. You may swear your loyalty and allegiance to me today because you are afraid of death. But one day, you may just backstab us and join someone else."
With 6 Strength points, he was able to lift Aria up as easily as lifting a piece of straw. Her resistance and struggles did not make it any more difficult for him to hold on to her. All he needed to do was to exert a little more strength and he could have easily broken her neck
"Wait... wait a minute... I have something else to say."
Aria struggled to grab onto Han Gui's arm before saying, "There is a slave contract in Infinite Store. I can sign it! I don't want to die!"
