Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Chapter 879 [Night Walk] Begins (Updated First and Revised Later)

What does it feel like to see forty lives evaporate right before your eyes?

At this moment, the players in the Suiyang Bloodshed dungeon experienced it firsthand, truly feeling the fragility of life. At the same time, as the towering flames spread and dissipated, a deep sense of fear began to rise in the hearts of the other players present. Seeing this, Shetar couldn't help but curse, "Idiot!" But the sound was like his vocal cords were stuck at home. He opened his lips and his throat moved, but for a long time, no sound came out...

Madman, too crazy. Ivanov deliberately gathered all the people together. He had already made up his mind to send those players to death. Devil, this guy is simply a devil.

Although Shetar knew Ivanov before entering the Black Tower, they were colleagues in the Star Gate Organization of the First District. They saw each other every day. Shetar naturally knew Ivanov's character and always felt that such a reckless swordsman was not worthy of being his teammate. But compared to other think tanks, the swordsman professional players who were almost comparable to single-celled organisms in the dungeon were indeed easier to control and command, so Shetar finally agreed to enter the Black Tower. But at this moment, seeing that Ivanov had used the props given by Chen Ge Lao in one breath without any warning, and evaporated forty lives in the field, Shetar was shocked and a little scared in his heart. The strong regret enveloped him like a tide. Shetar instantly had a regretful thought. Why did I agree to enter the Black Tower training dungeon? I can get a place in the trainer card set when the training dungeon of the First District is opened next time.

"Shetar, take out the Jidao belt and absorb the experience points of these dead guys in the field."

"Everyone, after we divide up these experience points, we will launch the final assault on the city walls. Before we begin, I don't want any obstacles that could affect our ability to clear the dungeon to appear!"

Upon hearing this, Shetar's iconic white face twitched twice not far away.

You idiot, do you think sharing the experience points with them now is a kind of early champagne reward for them?

No, you are wrong. This action will only deepen their fear and even make them feel sad for the other party.

The wind blew quietly across the open space.

quiet!

There was a deathly silence. No one paid any attention to Ivanov, who had a bright smile on his face because his plan had been successful. In the silence, countless people's faces flashed with various emotions, some were timid, some were frightened, and some even had a flash of anger on their faces.

The next moment, the remaining fifty players on the field were thrown into chaos.

"These lunatic bastards from the First District, seeing that one of us is injured, are they treating the rest of us as disposable consumables? Just throw them away after they're used? No, throw them away once they're no longer of any use? What about us? What will be our fate?"

"No need to ask, we are definitely treated as consumables. As long as the next round is not a confrontational copy, they will not need us. People like us are thorns in their eyes and bones in their flesh."

"I'm done. I'm done. This is a lousy training dungeon. I was forced to kill a colleague I've known for years. I didn't resist back then, and now you're slaughtering my compatriots right in front of me. Do you really think we have no choice but to work for you idiots from District One?"

"Sure enough, what the old leader who was preparing to retire when I just joined the company said was right. Once people start making mistakes and are unwilling to accept the punishment and price of their mistakes, they will go further and further on the wrong path. The only way to maintain the correctness of their position is to not make mistakes. I made a mistake, so I have to accept the punishment. I would rather return to reality and be sentenced by the cabinet than continue with you, a bunch of devils in the first district."

"Why are you talking nonsense with them? Fuck you, you're launching a general attack."

Immediately, a player's eyes welled up as he pulled out his Trainer Card and crushed it to pieces before Ivanov and Shetar's astonishment. Shetar wasn't surprised by these players' decisiveness in giving up, but rather by their quick decision. The moment Ivanov detonated the bomb, a feeling of despair welled up in Shetar's heart. He knew then...

It's bad, people's hearts are completely broken. They are a community of interests temporarily bound together by coercion and inducement, so where does the faith and cohesion come from? What's more, these people are not without a way out. They don't have to pass the level to end all this. They clearly have the option of crushing the card holder to exit the trainer copy, but they just quit like this. Because their hands are stained with blood and lives in the last round of the copy, these players will most likely choose to continue for the sake of self-preservation. After all, if another wave of players can leave the copy alive, they will be completely on the run. Colluding with players from the first district to hunt down colleagues in the copy is enough to kill these people eight hundred times. They will naturally fear that this matter will be exposed, but this does not mean that they will continue to insist on killing the opposite group when their own lives are threatened.

I'm about to die, and I'm still thinking about whether killing people to silence them can help me protect myself after returning to reality. Isn't this ridiculous logic? I'm about to die, and I still have to think about what will happen after the copy?

That doesn't exist, bro...

As for Ivanov, his face was full of confusion. It was probably difficult for him to understand. If I killed these forty guys, I could give you a lot of experience points. Why did you disobey me? Isn't this a mutually beneficial thing? Why did you, who were safe and sound, react with stress?

In an instant, more than a dozen halos lit up, and more than a dozen people disappeared from the scene. The remaining people were probably confused, and perhaps fear was emerging in their hearts. After all, watching forty lives disappear in front of them, who could remain calm when facing a crisis?

However, most of these people are older, and it is obvious that they are the Shenlu players who have families in real life. In fact, these people are also smiling bitterly and sighing, but there is nothing they can do. If they don’t kill Yin Shisan and his men to silence them, their families will be broken up once the fact that they colluded with the players of the first district is exposed. Family is like a rope that completely binds these people, forcing them to go down the path of stubbornness to the end.

Those who stayed behind were not afraid of death, but compared to death, they would rather choose death after returning to reality and having their crimes exposed. Because at least if they died in the copy, they could give subsidies and benefits to their families as pensions. However, if they were wanted in reality because their betrayal of the organization was exposed, their family members would not only bear the shame and abuse for the rest of their lives, but they would also have to live in hiding for the rest of their lives.

It would be better to just die.

"Ivanov, your actions have caused our chances of winning to plummet from 74% to 31%..."

The next moment, Shetar's chest heaved several times. He forced himself to adjust his emotions and spoke coldly to Ivanov.

Hearing this, the latter spat lightly in disdain.

"If the endings of all dungeons can be determined by the [Probability] of you hacker players, then the Shenlu server might as well delete other professions. Hacker players only need to find a way to increase this self-deceiving number to as close to 100%. But even if the chance of winning estimated by your [Probability] skill is 99.9% at this moment, can we win if we stay put and don't attack the opponents? I always think that the funniest and most ridiculous thing is the [Probability] skill of you hacker players."

After saying this, Ivanov looked at the other players on the field with a fiery look in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.

"Congratulations everyone, these people's experience points will become your..."

At this moment, a series of sparse sounds suddenly came from the surrounding woods, like tiptoeing footsteps. Although there was no wind, the leaves trembled and made a crisp sound similar to the chirping of cicadas in summer.

Shetar's expression changed slightly. He was a professional hacker player and had set up various surveillance cameras around. Although the appearance of surveillance in the ancient background board was full of incongruity, Shetar did it. The first time he heard the movement, Shetar's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head and took out an LCD monitor.

"Were you discovered? Never mind, it doesn't matter..."

"I'll stop this guy who talks more nonsense than his beard. Boss, you deal with that blond, blue-eyed handsome guy, the dog boy. The other guys are up to you... Success or failure depends on this one!"

The next moment, a clear voice rang out from the bushes not far from the clearing.

Shetar: ???

Ivanov;???

Other players on the field: ???

Immediately, a sharp sword light flashed across the plain ground, and a young man with a cold and unruly appearance emerged directly from the open space, shaped like a cheetah. With the blessing of a pair of red embroidered shoes on his feet, the young man's sudden appearance even prevented many players from reacting in time, and he had already appeared in front of Ivanov.

"This isn't my first time fighting a Rule Realm player. This is my first time fighting a Rule Realm player after reaching Level 5. I hope you won't let me down!"

After saying that, Qin Shang raised the Demon Slayer Blade in his hand and chopped it down.

This was the final part of his plan. He must not passively wait for the enemy to launch a general attack. He expected Ivanov to be furious and that this Russian would kill people to vent his anger. He also expected that after the wounded and sick died, the hearts of the other players who were still able to fight in the field would definitely sink to the bottom. Some people would even choose to completely abandon the Black Tower training copy in order to survive.

Even at this moment...

Night attacks and proactive attacks were also part of Qin Shang's plan.

Night is the best camouflage for sieges. Whether in movies and TV dramas or various literary works, siege battles where the outnumbered side wins are basically launched using night as a disguise. What's more, the number of people on one's side is completely at a disadvantage, and once the other side takes the initiative, they will be doomed.

There is a saying that goes, "Strike while you are sick."

Isn't this the moment when the cohesion of the attacking army is the weakest?

If not now, when should we launch our counterattack?

Behind the bushes where Qin Shang had slightly left his trace, a look of surprise flashed across Yin Shisan's brows, but that boy's movements were too fast. Almost at the moment when Shetar noticed the unusual movements around him, he jumped out to attract firepower, so much so that Master Yin didn't have time to reach out and stop his trusted henchman.

"No, is this kid crazy? What nonsense is he talking about? What does he think of players in the Rule Realm? Just a roadside pass? Wasn't it agreed from the beginning that the two of us would hold back the two peak combatants on the opposite side?"

In the bushes, the dog master Yan Ruanruan's doubtful voice was heard immediately.

Hearing this, Yin Shisan beside him waved his hand; "That kid has his own trump card. Let's just consider it as a temporary change of plan due to changed circumstances. He won't act without a purpose and take the initiative to find an enemy that he can't deal with and seek death. After all, you are at the peak of the level 6 Order Realm. With your joining, our people will be able to deal with the remaining players more quickly. Let's see how he performs first. If he can't hold on, he will naturally ask for support."

After he finished speaking, a powerful and majestic milky white sword light shot up into the sky, aiming at Shetar.

"Last time, you used your Hypnotist skills to weave a favorable battlefield for you. So when the three of you were besieging me, I was able to kill another person. As a hacker player with the weakest individual combat power, you survived. I wonder if your item is still useful now?"

Master Yin appeared, his cold and indifferent voice piercing the night sky calmly.

"White-robed swordsman? You, so many of you? Enemy attack, it's an enemy attack. Ivanov, quickly deal with that overconfident brat. You and I will stop the white-robed swordsman together. Everyone else, immediately prepare to fight back. The enemy is attacking..."

Shetar only realized at this moment that the opposing defenders had chosen to fight to the death and were planning to take the initiative to attack. In a panic, he called out to other players to resist and hurriedly called out Ivanov. He could be unhappy with Ivanov in other things, but on the battlefield, he was very clear that without Ivanov's combat power, he would never be able to stop Yin Shisan. Facing this man who was once invincible under the rules, he would basically be finished.

"He doesn't have time to take care of the battlefield on your side."

At this moment, a hoarse and low playful laugh sounded beside Shetar.

Then a flower bridge appeared out of thin air. The sedan chair was brightly colored, the most iconic red, but the hanging curtain was as black as ink, giving people a strong sense of contrast. The sudden appearance of such a sedan chair made Shetar feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if the surrounding air temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees.

After the owner of the voice forced Ivanov back with a knife, he got into the sedan chair.

"You two, have you ever experienced the rule-based skills of core authority? Well, you're in luck today. This is my first time using this item..."

A strong sense of uneasiness enveloped Shetar. He felt that if the skill of this sedan was activated, he and Ivanov would be buried today. So the next moment, Shetar rushed to the sedan and tried to kill Qin Shang directly. He also had a prop similar to a boomerang in his hand, but the prop disintegrated silently when it came into contact with the sedan, as if the sedan was a black hole.

"Stop him, Ivanov!"

Shetar threw the boomerang, but before he could take out the new props, a sharp sword light appeared in front of him. Yin Shisan, dressed in silver-white armor, the defending general Zhang Xun in the copy had already appeared in front of him, and Ivanov, who was scared away by Qin Shang's sudden sword, also tried to attack the sedan chair personally, but unfortunately, this just fulfilled Qin Shang's wish. The young man curled his lips, and the door of the sedan chair opened.

thump--

The next second, Maozi was caught off guard and crashed into the sedan chair, but he reacted quickly. He stabilized his body and punched Qin Shang, but he only hit the air. The figure of the young man in front of him faded away, and the punch just went through his body.

He was wearing a red dress.

Qin Shang slowly raised his head, a ferocious look flashing across the corners of his lips.

"The offering to the abyss has been made... Then, [Night Journey], begin!"
