38: Gantz

Shi Yan ended these meaningless thoughts after a brief period of contemplation.

He got up and walked into his room to sleep.

...

Soon, another day passed. Shi Yan finished his leisure time and actively clicked on Slaughter Paradise, entering the instance.

“Current Difficulty: Hard Instance: Slaughter City”

“Your identity is that of a contestant.”

“Feng Luan City is a very prosperous city. You are a part of this city, and you need to try your best to kill other contestants in this city.”

“When only three players remain, the instance countdown will begin.”

“Hint: The leaderboard is ranked by the number of kills. The player with the most kills at the end will receive a higher reward.”

“Current Instance Player Count: 20”

Shi Yan's eyes flashed, and he had already entered the instance.

“This time, I'm going on a rampage.”

Shi Yan's eyes were slightly closed. His tone was very calm, as if he was stating a fact.

“Hmm?”

Shi Yan was slightly stunned after opening his eyes, looking around in a bit of confusion.

Shi Yan was currently on a beach by the coast. In front of him was an endless azure coast, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed in his ears.

Wafts of air mixed with the smell of the sea rushed into Shi Yan's nose. The sun in the sky was scorching hot.

Behind him was a small patch of land. The entire small island could be seen from end to end at a glance.

Didn't it say it was in the city? Where's the city? Why did it throw me onto a deserted island?

Shi Yan sighed softly, feeling extremely speechless.

However, Shi Yan only complained briefly. He decisively activated Blood Tattooed Transformation for his legs, and relying on his high leg strength, with a loud bang, Shi Yan's figure had already shot into the sky and then plunged into the sea.

Shi Yan decided to swim in a random direction, as he couldn't stay on that small island forever, right?

At this moment, Shi Yan not only had his legs undergo Blood Tattooed Transformation, but his hands also entered the Blood Tattooed Transformation state simultaneously. In a freestyle swimming posture, his arms frantically paddled in the seawater, and his legs also vigorously kicked in the seawater.

At this moment, Shi Yan's speed was astonishing. His limbs unleashed streaks of bloody afterimages, like a speedboat cutting a white straight line across the sea, swimming directly towards the distance.

On the sea surface far from the small island, a white-colored cruise ship was slowly sailing.

The name Kajadide was printed on the side of the cruise ship's hull.

By the ship's railing, more than a dozen young men and women could be seen clinking their wine glasses together. The Girls' laughter and the men's voices were carried by the wind to the surroundings.

Among this group, a Girl with red hair raised her right hand and pointed into the distance.

“Look! There's a shark!”

A Girl with long black hair, whose ends were slightly curled, turned her head to look in the direction the red-haired Girl pointed.

“Catherine, you're lying! There's nothing there.”

The black-haired Girl turned her head back and complained to Catherine.

“Hehe, Lianna, I got you, didn't I?”

Catherine laughed, her face full of triumph.

“Wait, Catherine, look what that is!”

Lianna suddenly looked at Catherine's back with a shocked expression, her fair fingers trembling slightly as she pointed at the sea level behind Lianna.

“Lianna, can you please not copy my tricks?”

Catherine looked at Lianna with a hint of disdain, as if to say, “Do you think I'm an idiot?”

“No, quickly look behind you.”

Lianna's tone carried a hint of urgency, and her appearance did not seem feigned.

Catherine also seemed to realize something. She looked at the other men and women companions around her; they were all frozen in place, looking at one spot in shock.

“No way…”

Catherine slowly turned to look at the sea behind her.

At the end of the visible sea surface, an unknown object shimmering with red light was rushing towards the Kajadide from afar. The unknown object's speed was extremely fast, leaving a long white line behind him.

In almost an instant, the unknown object had rushed directly beneath the Kajadide.

That person was none other than Shi Yan, who had been swimming in the sea for half an hour. He had chosen a random direction earlier and had been swimming ever since. After half an hour of swimming, he finally saw a cruise ship and immediately decided to swim towards it.

After Shi Yan swam beneath the yacht, he exerted force with both hands, firmly embedding them into the yacht's iron hull. Then, with an upward thrust, his entire body shot into the sky.

Finally, he landed heavily on the deck. Shi Yan retracted the Blood Tattooed Transformation from his limbs, as the surroundings were full of ordinary people. If he let them see these blood patterns, they would at best become dizzy and faint, and at worst, die.

If everyone fainted, there would be no one to answer his questions.

Although Shi Yan retracted quickly, one male still saw the detailed blood-colored patterns. At this moment, his eyes involuntarily rolled upwards, a little white foam escaped from the corners of his mouth, and he fell backward, fainting.

Hearing the sound of the male falling, the others seemed to regain their senses.

“Ghost, it's a ghost!”

Several timid young people screamed and howled as they ran towards the cabin behind them.

Shi Yan surveyed this group of people. There were men and women, all not very old. At this moment, each of them had expressions of fear or shock, panicking to the extreme.

Each person had an LV1 level displayed above their head, except for one Girl, who had an LV8 level marker above her head.

She wore a black swimsuit, had a graceful figure, fair skin, and long black hair.

At this moment, that Girl merely had a somewhat gloomy and wary expression and was not flustered like the others.

Just then, the other people on the cruise ship seemed to have noticed what was happening here. People in special uniforms gathered from various parts of the cruise ship.

They all stopped behind the woman, each holding a pistol, pointing it firmly at Shi Yan.

The woman raised her right hand and gestured to the crowd behind her. These people immediately put away their guns and dragged the dozen or so young men and women, who were too scared to move, into the cabin.

“Sir, is there something you need by boarding my ship?”

The woman asked Shi Yan elegantly.

“Where is Feng Luan City?”

Shi Yan also realized that this woman here was the person in charge. After all, among all the people who appeared just now, this Girl had the highest level.

“If this gentleman wishes to go to Feng Luan City, he needs to head in that direction for about two hundred kilometers.”

That Girl pointed north.

Shi Yan's figure, standing still, slowly disappeared, and he appeared directly in front of that Girl. At this moment, the distance between him and the Girl was only half a meter.

“I hope you can take me to Feng Luan City as soon as possible. No problem, right?”

Shi Yan looked down and said softly to the Girl.

At this moment, that Girl's pupils constricted slightly. After seeing Shi Yan's terrifying speed, some inappropriate thoughts slowly dissipated.
