Chapter 18 A Slim Girl

Gu Fei landed, scrambled to his feet, and glanced back to see the large group of people behind him already changing direction.顾 Fei didn't have time to admire the view; he just ran for his life. The archers and mages behind him began to unleash their ranged attacks. Gu Fei ran through a hail of arrows and spells, but he wasn't afraid of anything except the archers' sniping.

However, the accuracy of the sniping actually helped Gu Fei. As long as he dodged one arrow, he dodged the entire round of sniping attacks—everyone was accurately shooting at the same spot.

The extensive shooting prevented their own melee troops from pursuing; Parallel World didn't have friendly fire turned off for parties. If the melee troops chased now, they would only become targets for the shooters. Besides, they didn't think it was necessary to chase. After taking a "body slam throw," everyone thought Gu Fei would be killed by any arrow or spell. No one expected him to dodge them all.

"Does this guy have eyes in the back of his head?" one archer asked, unable to help himself, as he watched Gu Fei dodge repeatedly without even looking back.

"He actually got away?" Everyone was incredulous as Gu Fei got further and further away. Since the Qian Chen Guild was established in Moon Night City, they had grown accustomed to arrogance and tyranny. They usually walked all over the place, and when they went out to level up, others would give way as soon as they saw the Qian Chen Guild's emblem, let alone fighting over leveling areas.

Such a powerful guild had suffered a great loss today. Someone had killed their guild leader in front of everyone and then escaped in front of everyone, although his escape was a bit of a fluke. The people of Qian Chen didn't know that having a Close Combat Master throw you was also part of Gu Fei's calculations.

"Did anyone identify his class and equipment?" Seeing that there was no hope of catching up with the other party, Lan Yi, the vice-chairman of the Qian Chen Guild and the commander of this operation, spoke.

Lan Yi was a mage who had been mixed in the crowd, arrogantly throwing a fireball at Gu Fei, fully expecting to blast Gu Fei into pieces. Who knew that in the end, he would watch his fireball fly behind Gu Fei's ass until it fizzled out.

"Damn it, how much Agility does this guy have?" Lan Yi muttered in a low voice. Without knowing the other party's class, it was impossible to completely judge how they allocated their stats. Lan Yi was secretly grateful that he hadn't said "Don't anyone move, I'll do it" in time. Otherwise, he would have been thoroughly disgraced.

"No, we couldn't identify it." Several appraisal experts from the guild reported one by one after hearing the vice-chairman's question.

"Couldn't identify it? Isn't your Appraisal skill already maxed out at level 10?" Several appraisal experts looked at the best among them.

"I really couldn't identify it! Maybe he's also max level like me, but his proficiency is higher..." the best of the best said.

"Where did this guy come from?" Lan Yi asked.

"He said he was from the Black Hand Mercenary Group," the player who had been squatting outside the door playing with a knife, pretending to be a fool, and had communicated with Gu Fei, said.

"Those silly kids?" Lan Yi was stunned, obviously not believing that there could be such a powerful guy in the Black Hand Mercenary Group.

"This guy is also quite silly," the guy who was playing with a knife, pretending to be a fool, said. "He even ran over to tell me that he was the one who killed the guild leader before he left. If he hadn't said it, we really wouldn't have known."

"Too arrogant! We must destroy him to avenge the guild leader!" Everyone expressed their stance.

Seeing the crowd so excited, Lan Yi immediately began to command with great enthusiasm. He divided the guild members into several small teams and scattered them to every corner of Moon Night City.

"Find the people from the Black Hand Mercenary Group!" Lan Yi ordered.

"Should we leave someone here?" someone asked.

"Leave my ass, people have already completed the quest." Lan Yi said. These words undoubtedly helped Gu Fei a lot.

Gu Fei, who had escaped the encirclement, didn't waste any time and headed straight for the coordinates of the wanted quest that had just been prompted. When one was lucky, nothing could stop them. Gu Fei had hit the 30% probability of炎之洗礼 (Yan Zhi Xili, Flame Baptism) three times in a row, and then successfully escaped the encirclement by borrowing the enemy's "body slam throw." It was truly a lucky day. And this luck obviously hadn't run out yet. He had only run two blocks toward the coordinates when he saw a person running towards him in a panic. Gu Fei glanced at him and didn't see a number, so he didn't pay much attention. But then, he saw another person with a bow and arrow turn out of a side street and chase after this person.

Gu Fei took a look and was overjoyed. This person had a number above his head and was exactly his new target. At this moment, he didn't know if he was still on a killing spree or if he wanted to wash away his PK value. If it was the latter, then it could only be said that he was very unlucky.

Gu Fei pretended to be watching the excitement and stepped aside, and when that guy chased past him, he suddenly stuck his foot out, seemingly without a care in the world.

This person reacted quickly and immediately jumped up, wanting to leap over, but who knew that Gu Fei's leg sweep had a follow-up move. He raised his foot and hooked the other party's instep.

This person didn't fall to the ground, but he staggered. Gu Fei didn't show any mercy and chased after him with a sword.

Once an archer was approached, their fate was like a candle in the wind. Holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, he didn't know how to parry in a fluster. Soon, Gu Fei's second sword attack arrived. The archer wanted to dodge, but he couldn't escape the changes in Gu Fei's swordsmanship. He took another hit and quickly retreated, wanting to create some distance, but unfortunately, this archer didn't seem to be all Agility. His speed was on the same level as Gu Fei's, and he couldn't create any distance in a short distance. Gu Fei chased after him with another sword. After three swords, the archer was finally "arrested" with a crash.

The mission was completed, and he had to go back to hand it in. This time, Gu Fei didn't dare to be careless and walked towards Fourth Street, step by step, being cautious. When he arrived at the entrance of the mission-issuing place, he paced back and forth for a long time, checking all the corners where he could hide. There were no ambushes.

As for the mission hall, Gu Fei saw that there were many players coming in and out, and the flow of people was frequent. He believed that even if there was an ambush, it wouldn't be too difficult to escape, so he strode in.

Just like the last time he came, Gu Fei's masked appearance only attracted some casual attention. Gu Fei didn't want to delay here for too long, so he quickly returned the mission, received a new one, and left.

Walking on the street, waiting for the mission coordinates to be updated, he suddenly felt something strange behind him.

Gu Fei didn't move, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation while gradually increasing his pace. When he was almost at the intersection, he suddenly broke into a run. He turned and rushed to the next street, then turned again and hid behind a wall.

After a while, Gu Fei saw a gaunt figure appear at the street entrance, looking around, hoping for Gu Fei's presence. It was actually a girl.

Gu Fei carefully observed the other party's attire and didn't find any Qian Chen Guild emblems. The Qian Chen Guild was such an arrogant existence that every member was afraid that others wouldn't know they were a member of Qian Chen. Everyone wore their badges in the most conspicuous place. Every guy Gu Fei had seen before was like this.

This person is probably not from Qian Chen! If she was from Qian Chen, she shouldn't be alone.

Thinking this, Gu Fei walked out from behind the wall. However, he was still on guard and held his sword behind his back.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" Gu Fei asked.

The girl turned her head, saw Gu Fei, and smiled, revealing her teeth. "I'm looking for you."

Thin, she's too thin. Gu Fei only had this feeling when he looked at this girl. He just felt like grabbing her and breaking her cleanly would be satisfying.

"Who are you?" Gu Fei asked.

"Liu Xia..." the girl said.

"Liu Xia what?" Gu Fei asked.

"Just Liu Xia..."

"Your name is quite suspenseful," Gu Fei said.

"What about you?" Liu Xia asked.

Gu Fei didn't answer and instead asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Capture you," Liu Xia said.

"Capture me?" Gu Fei gripped the sword in his hand even tighter, already calculating seven or eight ways to take the other party down with one move at this distance.

"27149, isn't that you?" Liu Xia smiled. "A Close Combat Mage from Cloudend City."

Gu Fei was shocked, wondering how the other party had seen through him. But on the surface, he remained calm. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Liu Xia smiled again. "I've already accepted the mission. In my eyes, your number 27149 is floating above your head."

Gu Fei was stunned, and it seemed like what the other party said was true. So he didn't hide it anymore and asked directly, "How did you know?"

"I was in the wanted mission issuing hall, and I saw your PK value of 27149 suddenly change from 10 to 6. This means that you accepted a mission and killed a player with a PK value of 4. I just so happened to know that there was a guy with a PK value of 4 in our Moon Night City, so I had a little suspicion that you were here. So I accepted the mission to hunt you down and waited there to see if you would come back to turn in the mission. As a result, I really waited for you," Liu Xia said.

Gu Fei sighed. A large PK value really made it too easy to expose his identity.

"I wanted to follow you then, but you were surrounded by the Qian Chen players outside. I was even prepared to go to the resurrection point to find you. I didn't expect that you could escape," Liu Xia said.

"Just lucky," Gu Fei said.

"So I continued to stare at your PK value. I thought, if there was another change later, it would mean that you had completed the mission again, then you would definitely come back to turn in the mission. As a result, I waited again," Liu Xia said.

"You're too clever," Gu Fei smiled wryly. "Now you've caught up with me."

"If I don't catch you, can you do me a favor?" Liu Xia blinked and said.

"What favor?" Gu Fei asked. The other party obviously knew that his "not catching you" didn't carry much weight, so she said this very casually. Gu Fei naturally didn't take it too seriously and casually asked.

"Take off your mask and let me see what you look like," Liu Xia said.

"No way." Gu Fei didn't even think about it and almost subconsciously refused. He had made hiding his identity a habit.

"Why?" Liu Xia asked.

"No reason."

"But if you don't take off your mask, how can I treat you to a drink?" Liu Xia blinked.

"Why do you want to treat me to a drink?" Gu Fei asked.

"Uh, because you didn't agree to the thing I asked just now, so I wanted to change it," Liu Xia said.

"..."

"Why were you chasing after that poor guy named Bu Xiao?" Liu Xia suddenly asked.

"Probably because someone asked me to," Gu Fei said.

"Then can you do what I ask and also chase after someone?" Liu Xia said.

"No way." Gu Fei refused again.
