Jiang Yong makes arrangements for a rescue with cannon fodder players, while also notifying the Suo and Qian families. Meanwhile, the hired players gather outside the Bo Mansion, grumbling about the low pay but eager for action. Their leader, Liang Fan, keeps them in line until a signal is given. A commotion erupts as the elder from the Bo Mansion, along with a team, rides out of the mansion towards the city gate, leaving the players confused about whether this is their cue to act.

He looked around.

"Who’s going offline to check the messages?"

The people in the team exchanged glances.

When acting alone, going offline is fine, just find a place to sleep for a while.

But within a team of players, especially in a Suicide Squad, going offline like that is quite risky.

This kind of thing has happened before.

Anyone can join a Suicide Squad, and if a friend is in the same town but didn’t get a spot in the team due to quota issues, they might seize the opportunity when someone logs off to kill one person and let their friend take the spot, making additional profit.

The consequence is just another enemy, but since it’s a Suicide Squad, the mission outcome is doomed anyway, so who cares? It’s all about maximizing benefits.

Therefore, Suicide Squad members are very cautious of each other. Characters can die, but they must die during a mission, not before it starts; dying like that would be pointless, the client won’t pay, and you lose your character, even finding someone to take revenge on becomes impossible. Who knows if others have reincarnated into better roles, next time they might be your undercover brother, annoying you.

Even without this factor, when players are together, logging off in front of other players is quite taboo, as it means putting the character’s safety entirely in others’ hands. The calculations and thoughts involved were rampant in early forums, full of insults, and now players hide their identities, pretending to be natives to avoid trouble.

So Liang Fan’s suggestion was good, but at this point, no one wanted to log off.

Fortunately, Qi Sitian didn’t think much, immediately raising his hand and saying.

"I’ll do it."

With that, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

About ten seconds later, Qi Sitian opened his eyes.

"Nothing. The employer didn’t send any messages."

Qi Sitian shook his head.

Everyone else stopped thinking about it.

Just then, Qi Sitian noticed two people walking straight towards the gate of Bo Mansion on the street.

"Stop!"

"Halt!"

The guy in the Taishi Chair had left, but guards were still at the Bo Mansion entrance.

Seeing the two being stopped, Qi Sitian was about to look away, but at that moment...

Bang!!

Bang!!

Two clouds of Blood Mist suddenly exploded!

Within the mist, the bodies of two demons grew wildly. They were the two just stopped, tearing off human skins to reveal their True Demon forms!

"Damn!"

Qi Sitian shivered in fear.

He had heard of demons in this game, but seeing them for the first time was shocking.

Besides, weren’t the demons in the city supposed to be cautious and not expose themselves easily? Why are these two...

Qi Sitian was scared, and the others around him were equally alarmed, full of tension—they hadn’t even started the mission and dying wouldn’t count for anything!

"Dem, demons!!"

"There are demons! Demons!!"

The two guards at the Bo Mansion entrance shouted in terror.

Even though they were much stronger than Qi Sitian under the tree, their fear multiplied his several times.

Because they really only have one life.

"Go, report..."

One of the guards turned to run inside, but a large claw swept past, grasping and squeezing him forcefully.

Bang!!

The guard’s body exploded into a mist of blood, multiple bones protruding outside, barely breathing anymore.

Such a visually stunning display of brutality made Qi Sitian’s legs go weak as he shivered.

Does the scene have to be this realistic?!

The other guard was already halved by a smaller demon, and his body had long gone cold.

After completing all this, the two demons ignored others, striding into Bo Mansion!

Screams, chaos, cries for help, all echoed from inside.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Meanwhile, several silhouettes whistled over the heads of Qi Sitian and others, rushing into the mansion!

From afar, the wall at the courtyard made a loud bang as a big hole appeared, a group flooding in.

Suddenly, Bo Mansion was attacked from all sides, seemingly leaking everywhere, continuously under siege.

What’s happening? What’s going on? What’s going on?

Qi Sitian and the others were dumbfounded.

When it was quiet, it was peaceful, but once something happened, it set off a chain reaction, one after the other.

With the two demons rampaging into Bo Mansion and causing chaos, another batch of people took the chance to flood in.

Qi Sitian even noticed among those rushing into Bo Mansion, one person was floating about ten centimeters off the ground!

What kind of super expert is that??

Qi Sitian had crammed some game knowledge over the past days, understanding that among Martial Artists, those who could do that were usually... Believers?

He didn’t quite understand what a Believer was, but it seemed to be a special profession stronger than regular Martial Artists or something.

Wave after wave of events made Qi Sitian and the others anxious.

"This must be the signal? Our client must be strong to call in so many experts to storm Bo Mansion and create chaos, while we are just extras."

Liang Fan was also contemplating.

He had temporarily become the leader of this group, and many were waiting for his decision.

If they don’t rush into Bo Mansion now, he couldn’t think of a more suitable time? The signal was clear.

But...the client hasn’t sent a message yet.

Constantly hesitating, suddenly... a System Prompt appeared!

The client finally called.

Exit the game to take the call.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, twenty people rushed towards Bo Mansion in unison like a raid, charging inside!

"Rescue, rescue, rescue!"

Qi Sitian kept emphasizing the mission’s core, and although he didn’t know what the previous groups did, the mansion was already filled with rolling thick smoke and flames everywhere.

It was daytime, and things were already this wild, really insane!

If not for the entrance plaque, one might think it was an ordinary house by the roadside set on fire for trouble.

However, those in the know understand this is Bo Mansion! Playing this big, aren’t they afraid to die?

"Go go go! GOGOGO!"

Liang Fan shouted, like a shooter game player at the frontline, leading the charge.

Seeing a little guard rushing towards the flames, he excitedly shouted.

"This way!"

This shout made the little guard stop and turn, seeing twenty people charging at him.

His expression changed, and the little guard took a step back in fear, but when Liang Fan approached, he swung his sword backhandedly.

Buzz!

Liang Fan’s head flew off.

The excited expression still on his face, he was already offline.

"..."

Qi Sitian and others, who had been charging energetically, all stopped in their tracks.

Honestly, Qi Sitian couldn’t tell what skill the little guard before him possessed; he didn’t even think the guy was an expert.

Yet this very ordinary, extremely inconspicuous guy instantly took Liang Fan’s life.

And Liang Fan was the one who subdued them to become the team leader...

The little guard seemed stunned too, not expecting Liang Fan to be so weak. Once he realized this, his cold gaze swept towards Qi Sitian and the others.

"Not good!"

"Run, quick!"

"Scatter! At least hold on until we see the employer first!"

Everyone shouted and ran in all directions!

The little guard was about to chase, but suddenly felt pain from behind!

Sss!

A bloody dagger pierced through his back, emerging from his chest!

"Dark Skill... Pavilion!"

Retracting the dagger, in the little guard’s final sound of widened eyes, a humanoid outline slightly twisted, quickly melding into the environment.

...

"Run!"

Jiang Yong shot up from the ground as if startled awake from a dying illness.
