187: Chapter 187 Ghost Stories

@Fifth Zone Allied Forces, is there anyone who can come out and explain how exactly you lost?

Aren't you guys being a bit too ridiculous? Five hundred thousand people ganging up on two thousand, and you were beaten until you collapsed, with several leaders dying?

What a bunch of useless trash. With your skill level, you actually dared to besiege District One?

Haha, the effect isn't even as good as when District 9999 went alone. Could it be that because there were too many people, the internal infighting allowed someone to exploit a loophole?

To the person above, someone from District 9999 just said that their Xiao Luo and Mad God have all logged off.

Holy crap! On the leaderboard, the name little luo has disappeared!

Everyone froze for a moment, then immediately opened the leaderboard.

The first through sixth places were still those six from District One, and the seventh was still goddess ship.

The eighth had changed to Setting Sun, the ninth to Sky Eye, and the tenth to Frenzied Demon; all three of them were from District 3300.

As the crowd discussed and the sounds of mockery grew louder, someone could no longer sit still.

Vertical and Horizontal, the second-in-command of District 50, naturally took over the position of regional leader after Union logged off.

He spoke to the Players in a low, slightly hoarse voice:

"Our leader, Union, went back to his room to rest after controlling 65 planes. Shortly after, I saw his avatar turn gray."

"Rest? Did he sleep himself to death?"

"Could it be that your leader's skill is one-time use? Not that the skill disappears after one use, but that his life disappears after one use? Hahaha."

"You up there are really vicious. Stop talking nonsense and let him continue."

"Yeah, it's not easy to find someone willing to talk, so stop mocking him. If you're so good, you tell us!"

"..."

Vertical and Horizontal ignored their mockery, his voice still hoarse:

"Just as I was about to report to Setting Sun, I opened my friends list and watched with my own eyes as the avatar of District 10 leader, autumn wind, turned from lit to gray."

"Hiss..."

"What's going on?"

"Two leaders died in such a short time? Is this some kind of curse?"

"That's not right. Aren't your regions all separated? The leaders aren't gathered together either, so how could they die at the same time?"

"Damn, this is really spooky."

"Can you bastards stop arguing? Let Vertical and Horizontal speak."

"..."

Vertical and Horizontal's eyelids twitched, as if he had thought of something terrifying:

"Th... then, I kept my attention on the friends list. A few minutes later, the kuang shen account avatar turned gray. What's even more terrifying is that less than ten seconds after kuang shen account logged off, little luo's avatar also turned gray."

"..."

The Players were dumbfounded, a chill running down their backs.

Are you telling a ghost story?

Leaders from multiple regions dying one after another across hundreds of nautical miles of sea?

And besides the avatars turning gray on the friends list, no other Players noticed this?

Targeted killing?

Is the game GM messing around?

"Damn it, Vertical and Horizontal, have you lost your mind? Do you think anyone will believe what you're saying?"

"It's too ridiculous. I won't believe it no matter what, unless you swear a poisonous oath."

Vertical and Horizontal: "I swear a poisonous oath. If I'm lying, I'll drop dead on the spot."

"Not enough! You have to swear on your family!"

Vertical and Horizontal: "If I am lying, may my whole family drop dead on the spot."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The Players looked at each other in silence.

However, it wasn't over yet. Vertical and Horizontal continued telling his ghost story:

"By this time, I was so scared that I hid under the bed, not daring to move. I kept my eyes locked on the friends list. Then... just as cold blade finished using his skill, his avatar turned gray."

"..."

"I see the problem. This Vertical and Horizontal might have a Talent that kills whoever he stares at."

"Hehe..."

"Excuse me, I'm busy, you guys keep chatting."

"Damn it, I'm going to find a Taoist priest to ward off evil spirits."

"Hey, do you think maybe china is the one behind this?"

"Holy crap, that's actually possible. Remember the last scene of the livestream? china appeared from an invisible state, right?"

"What the f***?!!!"

"Excuse me."

"@china, dear father, wild father, I am your good eldest son."

"@china, grandfather, I am your obedient grandson."

"..."

...

"We... won?"

earth burrowing ship looked at the live streaming channel, face pale.

All the live streaming sources above had disappeared.

"Won? @china, boss, did we win?"

Looking at the few messages in the channel, Chen Fan's voice was a bit hoarse:

"Brothers, we won."

The channel was silent for a moment.

Immediately, intense cheers erupted:

"We finally won..."

"Boss, we... only have eight hundred people left."

"F*** it, my team members, not a single one left, boo hoo hoo."

"Brothers who logged off, did you see? We succeeded!"

"Boo hoo hoo, my Brothers..."

"Revenge! We must take revenge for the Brothers who logged off!"

"Yes, revenge!"

earth burrowing ship took a deep breath and said in a focused voice: "Everyone, don't be anxious. Boss will definitely lead us to get justice."

small boat: "Right! When has Boss ever let us suffer a loss? These bastards, sooner or later, we will crush them to death one by one!"

Chen Fan took a deep breath, just about to speak.

[Ding!]

While immersed in the Allied Forces' failure and the ghost story told by Vertical and Horizontal.

A series of rewards stunned all the Players again.

What the hell?

Not to mention obtaining one hundred thousand coins, they were rewarded with another round of supplies?

District One was already abnormal; now, is anyone even allowed to play anymore?

"Although I sympathize with the encounter of District 1 Players, this reward is too terrifying, right?"

"Damn, they could already wipe out five hundred thousand Allied Forces before, and now that they've obtained so many rewards, wouldn't they be even more invincible?"

"Brothers of District One, was the death of those regional leaders caused by china?"

"It is a bit invincible, but I don't know how many people they have left after this time."

"@District One, Brothers, how many Players do you have left? Is it convenient to reveal that?"

"..."
