At the entrance of the station, Fang Bai and his companions were blocked by a group of people. They were fierce-looking, with cruel and malicious smiles on their faces. They held weapons and trapped the three of them in the safety zone of a grocery store!
Liu Han, who was usually simple-minded, showed his anger upon seeing this.
"Xiang Weishan!"
"How dare you plot against us!"
Xiang Weishan, holding takeout in his hand, stood behind the crowd and sneered at the three of them.
"What if I do?"
"Do we have to complete the mission first, and then I die?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame Zhao Yi. After all, this butcher's task was approved by him!"
Liu Han clenched his fists tightly, wanting to rush up, but was stopped by Fang Bai.
"If you rush over now, you'll only get your legs broken!"
Fang Bai was also angry, but he could still maintain his rationality. There were too many people on the other side, and they couldn't pose any threat to Xiang Weishan!
"Stop them and don't let them leave the station!"
Xiang Weishan gave orders to his men and then left the station nonchalantly.
Looking at the players around him who were eyeing him, and the terrible butcher in the meat shop on the second floor, Bai Shuijia's smooth forehead oozed with nervous sweat.
"Are you all stupid?"
"Help Xiang Weishan do things!"
"Don't you see what kind of person he is?"
"Today he can stab us in the back, and tomorrow it could be you!"
She attempted to stimulate the crowd through her words, scanning the faces of many people. Bai Shuijia could tell that these people didn't really want to follow Xiang Weishan.
They were willing to help Xiang Weishan, but it was because of fear!
This person was vicious and cruel, and had background within the guild, so no one dared to betray him! They had seen Xiang Weishan kill many players with their own eyes, and they were inevitably afraid of this man!
So even though they knew that what Bai Shuijia said was true, they still didn't want to make way.
Bai Shuijia became anxious and suddenly rushed through the gap in the crowd, trying to break through the siege during the stunned moments of the people. However, she was caught by her hair after only a few steps and was punched and kicked!
Some of them even tore off her clothes, constantly harassing her.
At first, Bai Shuijia let out piercing screams, but soon she couldn't scream anymore. She fell to the ground after being beaten severely, and her food and dishes spilled all over the floor!
She tightly protected her head and made a weak moan.
Her clothes were torn, and bruises and bloodstains were everywhere on her body, and blood flowed from her mouth and nose.
"Enough! Stop it now!"
"Don't beat her to death!"
"Do you want to increase your slaughter value? Do you want to get into the slaughter arena?"
Seeing that Bai Shuijia was almost dead, the kind-hearted Fang Bai quickly shouted angrily, and the group of people who were beating Bai Shuijia suddenly woke up like they were in a dream and quickly dispersed.
Looking at the miserable woman covered in blood on the ground, they broke out in a cold sweat behind them!
Just now, they only cared about venting their anger and fear, almost beating Bai Shuijia to death!
Fang Bai went forward and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, carefully dragged Bai Shuijia back to the safety zone.
"Tha… thank you…"
"Baishui Ji weakly said,
Seeing her appearance, Liu Han sat on the ground in a daze and muttered:
"It's over..."
"We're all going to die..."
"What Zhao Yi said is right... It's all because of Zhao Yi..."
"If he had insisted on the second or third game, maybe we wouldn't be in this state now..."
Fang Bai frowned and said,
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Han turned his head, his eyes already bloodshot!
"Did I say something wrong?!"
"If it wasn't for him saying that we should leave it to fate, would we be in this state now?!"
"If it wasn't for him agreeing to let Xiang Weishan join our team, would we have been manipulated by Xiang Weishan?!"
Fang Bai coldly said,
"You must be crazy!"
"Used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
"Xiang Weishan harmed you, but you don't dare to lay a finger on him, so you take it out on your own people?"
"Forget who helped you get the rewards in the previous instance?"
Seemingly struck in a sensitive spot, Liu Han suddenly erupted, grabbing Fang Bai's collar fiercely, and said in a frenzy:
"Say it again?"
Fang Bai closed his mouth as he saw the murderous intent in Liu Han's eyes.
"I'll go and kill Zhao Yi... As long as I kill Zhao Yi, Xiang Weishan will definitely let me leave here... Definitely!"
"By then, I'll use the excuse of delivering takeout to escape back to the guild's headquarters... Even if Butcher is powerful, he can't kill me in the apartment... That's right... I'm going to kill Zhao Yi!"
Liu Han, who had already lost his sanity due to fear, muttered to himself and stumbled towards the second floor. Others saw Liu Han not leaving the station and didn't bother with him. In fact, many people followed behind him to watch the excitement!
"Zhao Yi!"
"Zhao Yi, come out!"
Liu Han took out his soul weapon—a bone-made crowbar—and looked like a madman as he stared at Zhao Yi, who was enjoying his meal in the butcher shop!
He wanted to kill Zhao Yi but didn't have the courage to enter the butcher shop!
The tall figure that exuded terrifying aura, Butcher, made Liu Han's hands and feet weak!
Zhao Yi looked up at Liu Han and smiled:
"Want to eat beef together?"
At this moment, Liu Han's appearance was in stark contrast to his usual simplicity and honesty. He looked ferocious and obviously on the verge of mental breakdown.
He pointed the crowbar in his hand at Zhao Yi and growled:
"Come out!"
Seeing Liu Han's appearance, how could Zhao Yi not know what he was thinking?
After savoring his food slowly, he said to Liu Han:
"Mr. Butcher and I have already discussed it. We can take a few people with us."
In the blink of an eye, this sentence immediately calmed down the enraged Liu Han.
He froze for a moment, showing some confusion, but his eyes were filled with immense joy!
"You... Are you telling the truth?!"
Zhao Yi:
"Of course."
"Otherwise, how could I sit here leisurely and eat?"
"Oh, by the way... You came to find me earlier. Do you have something to ask me to do outside?"
Liu Han hid the crowbar in his hand and hesitated:
"Uh... I wanted to ask if you had any ideas on how to complete this mission..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Oh, I see!"
"I thought you were going to kill me and claim credit with Xiang Weishan!" Liu Han's face visibly stiffened, but quickly changed to a smiling face.
"How could that be... You are my benefactor, how could I do such a thing?"
"I was counting on you to help me escape from here!"
He awkwardly put away the bone lever in his hand.
From afar, Fang Bai helped the weak Bai Shuiji up the stairs. When he saw that Zhao Yi was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you want some meat?" Zhao Yi asked loudly.
Fang Bai glanced at the terrifying butcher at the door, hurriedly waved his hand, but then seemed to think of something. He reluctantly dragged the half-dead Bai Shuiji towards the butcher's shop.
In fact, there were many players hovering around the escalator on the second floor, but they dared not approach the butcher's shop or some other dark specialty stores.
In the darkness inside, where you couldn't see your hand in front of you, it felt like pairs of sinister eyes were coldly watching them!
Passing Liu Han, Fang Bai looked at him with disdain, and sat across from Zhao Yi with a reluctant Bai Shuiji!
"Zhao Yi... Did you find a way to complete the butcher game early?"
Looking at Zhao Yi confidently eating, Fang Bai asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yi shook his head.
"No."
Seeing him like this, Fang Bai's heart sank to the bottom.
So... Is Zhao Yi just waiting to die now?
Looking at the meat in front of him, Fang Bai felt despair.
This might very well be his last dinner!
Even Jesus' table still had a few dishes, but here, he could only eat some braised beef.
Thinking of this, Fang Bai grabbed the braised beef on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing fiercely!
Damn it!
If I'm going to die, I'll die!
I'll die a glutton!
Outside, Liu Han saw that nothing happened to Fang Bai and the others when they entered the butcher's shop, but he was still hesitating.
After about half an hour of this stalemate, a hoarse laughter came from the first floor of the station!
"Hahaha!"
"I won!"
"I won!"
"You're all going to die!"
"Die for me!"
Fang Bai and Liu Han turned around, their faces turning pale.
It was Xiang Weishan!
He's back!
That disheveled figure appeared at the staircase a hundred meters away, with one arm missing and bloodstains all over his body!
Clearly, delivering that meal wasn't easy!
With a face covered in blood and a sinister smile, he stumbled his way to the butcher's shop and looked at the people sitting inside eating meat, sneering:
"What kind of bullshit newbie leaderboard?"
"Challenging me, Xiang Weishan?"
"Do you even deserve it?"
"I just used a little trick, didn't expect you stupid pig to really fall for it!"
"You trash think you're worthy of calling me, Xiang Weishan, your brother?"
Zhao Yi nodded, agreeing with what was said.
"Indeed."
"That's true."
With a disdainful snort at Wei Shan, for some reason, he looked at Zhao Yi's calm appearance and felt particularly annoyed.
"Facing death, and still pretending to be calm? Let me see how well you can pretend!"
"Butcher!"
"I have successfully completed your game and sent you the first meal. Now... give me my reward!"
The butcher, with his bone-crushing work in progress, slightly bowed his head and slowly approached Wei Shan, holding a bone-cleaver covered in shattered flesh.
In the distance, on the second-floor staircase, a group of Wei Shan's henchmen watched this scene with excitement. Although they didn't have any good feelings towards Wei Shan himself, they worked under him. If Wei Shan became stronger, their status would naturally rise among the newcomers!
Wei Shan raised his head, locked eyes with the butcher, and a wicked and exaggerated smile curved his lips. He knew that as long as he completed the task, the NPC wouldn't harm him.
At this moment, he felt like a returning dragon king!
Come on!
Come on!
District-wide announcement!
I, Wei Shan, will become the most impressive newcomer!
I will make everyone know that what you couldn't accomplish, I, Wei Shan, can!
And that slut named Liu Ruqing... hahaha, she will definitely look at me differently!
In the future, even if I sleep with her, she will become my plaything!
...
In this brief time, countless scenes of his glorious future flashed through Wei Shan's mind, and his smile became more audacious!
Until a piercing pain spread from his stomach to his organs, he woke up from his dream.
Slowly lowering his head, he saw a huge iron hook penetrating his flesh and entering his abdomen!
His clothes were stained with blood.
Fear filled the air.
"No..."
Wei Shan trembled his lips, his eyes losing focus.
He couldn't understand.
Clearly, he was the first to complete the task. Clearly, he had done everything the butcher asked for. So why did the butcher choose to kill him?
Damn Zhao Yi and the others!
They should be the ones to die!
Not me!
Why?
Why!
Various doubts gathered in his mind like a stream, eventually converging on one particular point.
Zhao Yi.
Wei Shan slowly turned his head.
Zhao Yi, who was eating beef, was also smiling at him.
Polite and elegant.
Charming.
But it made Wei Shan feel an irresistible despair!
He understood that he had eventually been manipulated by Zhao Yi!
Wei Shan reached out his hand to Zhao Yi, his eyes wide open, and with difficulty, he uttered two words:
"Save me..."
Zhao Yi approached the butcher, looked at the dying Wei Shan, and lazily flicked his bangs with his remaining finger, saying nonchalantly,
"Why bother telling me you're fine now?"
"Do you regret it now?"
Wei Shan had already lost his former ruthlessness. The fear of death spread to every corner of his being, making him appear utterly humble!
Trembling, he pleaded like a dog:
"I... didn't recognize Mount Tai..."
"Please... spare my life..."
Zhao Yi remained silent, raised his hand, and gave him the middle finger, with a radiant smile!
In the next moment, in Wei Shan's horrified gaze, the butcher's bone cleaver came down with a fatal blow!
The world lost its light.
