103: Qi Fei's Madness
Just as Ye Xiao was ferociously sweeping through the Ocean Magic Frogs.
In contrast, outside Linhai Village, it remained as quiet as water.
Not far away, a bonfire had been lit in the seemingly dilapidated camp.
However, compared to yesterday's laughter and joy, there was an indescribable, eerie atmosphere in the camp now.
Inside the camp, in front of the stone house where Ye Xiao had previously stayed, Qi Fei, along with Wei Wei and Liu Hong's group, had already surrounded it, making it impenetrable.
Just a moment ago, a man Ye Xiao had never seen before appeared in the camp, bringing with him news about Xiao Tianba.
The man was the 'Xiaobai' that Qi Fei and Liu Hong had mentioned earlier, an ordinary assassin.
However, his identity in reality was a League staff member responsible for registering Professionals' information.
After a day of careful investigation, he was astonished to discover that none of the information he found yesterday for anyone named Xiao Tianba matched Ye Xiao's identity.
This situation made Xiaobai extremely worried, so he personally went online to find Qi Fei and explained the incident.
Upon hearing the news, Qi Fei's heart jolted.
Always cautious and sensitive, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Such a result, without even thinking, surely meant a fake name was used.
That is to say, Xiao Tianba did not trust them from the very beginning, which is why he used a fake name.
His subsequent mysterious disappearance made it even more suspicious.
In fact, Qi Fei even suspected that this Xiao Tianba did not truly go offline, but rather used some unknown method to bypass Liu Hong and the others' surveillance and quietly leave.
The reason he did this was likely because he might have known something, which prompted such actions.
As for whether there were others instigating this behind the scenes, Qi Fei was unsure, but this was what worried him the most.
The matters of Linhai Village could absolutely not be known to outsiders.
Although he publicly claimed they only had 6 years here, in reality, Qi Fei had been stationed in Linhai Village for 30 years.
For these thirty years, he had meticulously maintained everything here, preventing others from noticing.
Once an accident occurred, his thirty years of forbearance and planning would all be in vain.
Even he and all the members would be in danger.
It was precisely because of this worry that Qi Fei was now extremely furious.
And that led to the scene before them.
Everyone's faces were incredibly grim.
Qi Fei, with a ferocious expression, glared at everyone, roaring incessantly.
"Damn it!! Who can tell me how he figured it out?"
Facing the somewhat deranged Qi Fei, the rest of the Ziqiang Society members were all a little afraid, but they dared not make any move.
Countless past experiences told them that when Qi Fei was in a furious state, any inadvertent action could cost them their lives.
As for Qi Fei's question, Liu Hong and the others did not know how to answer.
At this moment, Qi Fei suddenly turned to Liu Hong, roaring with a ferocious face:
"Was it you? Last night, you were the only one who spoke to him. Did you tell him about our dealings with the devil in Linhai Village?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong's rugged and fierce face instantly turned ashen.
"Boss... I... I didn't... How could I do such a thing?"
"If it wasn't you, then it was you, wasn't it? Did you betray your brothers?" Qi Fei turned to another member, who was trembling with fear, and his gaze gradually revealed killing intent.
Enveloped by this killing intent, that person instantly collapsed to the ground.
"Boss, it wasn't me, it wasn't me..."
"Then who was it? Who on earth was it?" Qi Fei suddenly looked up, letting out a wild roar.
Immediately after, he suddenly lowered his head and laughed eerily.
"Haha! I remember now, it was me, I personally delivered all my brothers to that devil, hahaha!"
"That's right, that devil said that as long as I kept providing him with sacrifices, he could refine potions that would increase my attribute points for me."
"So, I killed, killed, killed... killed everyone who didn't obey... Haha, I'm the one who betrayed my brothers, hahaha!"
Watching Qi Fei descend into madness, everyone trembled.
This was not the first time they had witnessed such a scene.
Everyone knew how terrifying Qi Fei was at this moment.
Therefore, no one dared to speak at this time.
However, there was one exception.
At this moment, seeing Qi Fei's state and the fear in everyone's eyes, Wei Wei, who was behind him, inadvertently let out a sigh, then stepped forward.
However, this action of hers instantly caused Qi Fei to let out a beast-like roar.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes.
The next instant, they saw Qi Fei already in front of Wei Wei, his single hand gripping her delicate neck, lifting her up with force.
Then, with a cannibalistic, bloodthirsty, and ferocious look, he stared fiercely at Wei Wei.
"You dared to sigh? Are you mocking me?"
Wei Wei was choked, her breathing somewhat labored, and her fair, slightly charming face instantly flushed crimson.
"Calm... calm down... Qi Fei..."
"Hahaha! Calm down? You tell me to calm down? Are you questioning me?"
Qi Fei laughed maniacally, then an uncontrollable, eerie growl, not human-like, emanated from deep within his throat.
The appearance of this growl immediately caused everyone, including Liu Hong, to change their expressions.
But before they could react.
"Rip!"
Immediately after, Wei Wei let out a painful whimper.
Her clothes were torn into strips by Qi Fei, who then opened his mouth wide and lunged, and a splash of blood instantly splattered.
Liu Hong and the others seemed to know what was about to happen.
They all turned away at the same time, immediately.
Then, Qi Fei's beast-like, ferocious laughter, and Wei Wei's constantly suppressed, painful grunts could be heard.
Liu Hong and the others closed their eyes, their fists tightly clenched, their faces showing pain.
Thus, an unknown amount of time passed.
After Qi Fei let out another low growl, a while more passed.
Only then did Wei Wei's slightly tired and weak voice come through.
"You can all turn back now."
Liu Hong and the others turned as instructed, and their eyes met with a floor covered in blood, and the swaying, pale-faced Wei Wei standing there.
Each of their eyes showed heartache.
However, Wei Wei was accustomed to this; she merely tugged at her new clothes, covering the gruesome wounds underneath.
It was fortunate that Professionals in the Eternal World were digitized.
If it were a normal person, after experiencing what just happened, they would be crippled if not dead.
But to make a Professional so weak and powerless in a short time, it showed how terrifying Wei Wei's experience must have been.
However, everyone remained silent about it; no one wanted to bring it up.
At this moment, Qi Fei's voice came through, tinged with regret and guilt.
"Wei Wei, I'm sorry, I've hurt you again."
Wei Wei looked at Qi Fei, who had blood at the corner of his mouth, and shook her head.
"It's fine, you're doing it for everyone."
Qi Fei sighed softly, suppressing all emotions, then glanced at the stone house and said coldly, "Leave some people here to watch, I'll go check Linhai Village."
At this, Liu Hong, who was beside him, asked doubtfully, "Boss, do you think that guy entered Linhai Village? But we didn't see him come out yesterday."
Qi Fei shook his head, "No matter what, I have to check to be at ease."
Liu Hong thought for a moment, then said, "Boss, let me go instead. He's just a level 90 kid; I'm enough on my own. You just recovered, rest here."
Qi Fei considered it and did not object.
"Alright, but you must be careful not to anger that one. I don't want to lose another brother."
When Liu Hong heard Qi Fei mention that one, his eyes also showed fear, and he couldn't help but swallow, finally nodding reluctantly, "I'll be careful, Boss, don't worry."
