Hu Die Lan
Chapter 250 A Principled Villain
What hope could Remnant Dream Death possibly have?
To his right was Gu Fei, wielding his sword. To his left was Jian Gui, with his dagger. Behind him was a wall. And in front of him, were his two friends who'd be thoroughly battered if they fell from the wall. What's more, a dozen or so sneaky lurkers were on the rooftops, each pretending to be a sharpshooter, bending their bows and aiming arrows at Remnant Dream Death. To make matters worse, some of them were even yawning, "Shooting him is so boring!"
Remnant Dream Death looked at the smug Tsukiyomi Sakura on the wall, feeling indignant. "What's the meaning of this?" He didn't harbor much resentment towards Gu Fei at this point, but he felt that Tsukiyomi Sakura's cowardly behavior deserved some serious scorn.
Tsukiyomi Sakura grinned. "Now do you understand what a trap is? Simply placing them on the ground for people to step on is the lowest level. As a trap master, you have to study your opponent's psychology and coax them into willingly walking into your trap. That's the essence of it."
"Shameless!" Remnant Dream Death retorted indignantly, hearing Tsukiyomi Sakura's audacious words.
Tsukiyomi Sakura continued to grin.
"Drunk bro, who is this guy? How did he offend you?" Fireball asked from the side.
"Oh, he's one of those guys who specializes in ganking equipment," Gu Fei introduced to the others.
"Oh!" Everyone understood. The ensuing conjecture finally aligned with the facts: Gu Fei or Jian Gui must have been ganked by this guy before.
Everyone immediately became angry again. "Where are the ganked items hidden? Hand them all over, and we'll spare your life."
"Tch!" Remnant Dream Death didn't care about life or death at this point. Besides, he couldn't hand over those items even if he wanted to. So, he adopted a heroic and dismissive attitude.
"Let's just kill him. I'll go after him later to complete the mission," Gu Fei said.
"Or should we wait for you at the resurrection point?" Jian Gui asked.
"It's fine, I can easily catch up with him." The two discussed this in front of Remnant Dream Death, treating him like he was nothing.
"Little Remnant, let's fight them!" Remnant Dream Death's two friends suddenly went berserk. They had also been tricked, and now seeing Remnant Dream Death surrounded and ridiculed by so many people, they finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Gu Fei was about to step forward when he heard Remnant Dream Death quickly say, "They have nothing to do with our business. They're just friends I temporarily hired to help. Come at me."
Gu Fei paused, unsure whether Remnant Dream Death was telling the truth or not. But the two had already charged forward, one attacking Jian Gui and the other attacking Gu Fei. Even if the two were innocent, Gu Fei and Jian Gui couldn't just let them attack, so they immediately raised their weapons in self-defense.
These two weren't very skilled. Not to mention a grand master like Gu Fei, even Jian Gui was handling them with ease, while looking at Gu Fei for his opinion.
"Don't worry about me, get out of here!" Remnant Dream Death shouted.
"We'll die together!" the two replied.
So melodramatic… everyone thought. But this righteous and awe-inspiring scene was happening to their opponents, making them look like heinous villains. Everyone's expressions became a little unnatural.
"Even the bad guys are so loyal these days!" Tsukiyomi Sakura sighed.
He was immediately scorned by his own brothers: "Tch, you're no saint either."
"Yeah, Tsukiyomi is the least loyal guy!"
"He values women over friends!"
"He's opportunistic!"
"You bunch of bastards!!" Tsukiyomi Sakura retorted, and they started bickering while standing on the roof. Tsukiyomi Sakura was clearly at a disadvantage, being verbally abused by everyone. In a fit of anger, he flipped over and jumped down from the wall, pointing at Remnant Dream Death. "Let me take care of this trash!"
Unable to win against everyone else, he placed the label of "trash" on the defenseless Remnant Dream Death. Moreover, he saw that Remnant Dream Death was only wearing a shirt and pants, with no equipment. It was obvious that someone with no equipment was easy to bully. Tsukiyomi Sakura, an archer, wanted to experience some close combat.
"See, that's what you call despicable!" His own brothers saw through his intentions and scorned him.
Gu Fei and Jian Gui were fending off Remnant Dream Death's two friends, unsure of what to do. Now there was another one causing trouble. Just as they were helpless, they suddenly heard Remnant Dream Death shout, "How could I die at the hands of a scum like you!"
After speaking, a white light flashed, and Remnant Dream Death disappeared.
The crowd spouting nonsense on the roof fell silent. The two pairs still fighting below also stopped. Everyone stared at the spot where Remnant Dream Death had disappeared, looking incredulous.
"Uh? Teleportation scroll?" Gu Fei guessed, based on his experience with big events.
"No, the light from teleportation isn't like that." Actually, Jian Gui was the one who had seen all kinds of big events and stored them as knowledge.
"This… this…" Tsukiyomi Sakura's game experience was obviously not bad either. After stammering for a while, he said, "This looks like the light from logging off!"
"Forcefully logged off?" Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
"Wow, what a man!" Discussions erupted on the rooftop.
"It's mainly because Tsukiyomi is too despicable. He'd rather risk offending the world and forcefully log off than die at his dirty hands, tsk tsk!"
"Tsukiyomi, you brought this all on yourself. Now you should know how despicable you are! Find a place and end it all!"
"Without you, scum, Cloud Piercer City will become a paradise, Amen!" Someone put their hands together in a Buddhist gesture.
"All of you shut up!" Tsukiyomi Sakura roared, then looked at Gu Fei and Jian Gui, his eyes filled with questioning, but also with some embarrassment, because Remnant Dream Death had indeed shouted that before logging off… He would rather forcefully log off than die at Tsukiyomi Sakura's hands!
"Let's just let it go then!" Since the main person had disappeared using such a method, Gu Fei and the others really had nothing to say.
Remnant Dream Death's two friends were still stunned. Suddenly, they went berserk again and pounced on Tsukiyomi Sakura.
Tsukiyomi Sakura was clearly a little dazed and completely unprepared. As an archer, what outcome was there other than death when two fully armed melee classes pounced on him?
The crowd who had been ridiculing and mocking Tsukiyomi Sakura all roared at the same time, each bending their bows and aiming arrows at the two, but the fastest was still Gu Fei. He teleported in front of Tsukiyomi Sakura in an instant, blocking with his sword and forcefully taking the two's attacks.
Time was too rushed, so rushed that Gu Fei didn't have time to use any clever force to defuse the opponent's attacks. This defense was the first time in the game that he had used strength to resist. Gu Fei knew what the outcome would be if he did this. In game terms, such a normal exchange of blows would result in Gu Fei's judgment being extremely weak due to his weaker strength.
On top of that, it was still two people attacking together. Gu Fei's sword couldn't stop the opponent's momentum at all and could only retreat to defuse it, resulting in him bumping into Tsukiyomi Sakura behind him.
Unfortunately, Tsukiyomi Sakura wasn't very strong either. This bump was very strong and fast, and he immediately tripped over his own feet and fell backward. In a conditioned reflex, he reached out and grabbed wildly, bringing Gu Fei down with him.
Even after falling, Gu Fei was still ready to meet the next attack, but he saw countless arrows flying down from the rooftop, concentrated on the two. More flames fell from the sky, and the two instantly turned into white light and disappeared. The final attacks were only a few centimeters away from the fallen two.
Players who spent all day rolling around in games wouldn't have any psychological burden from killing two innocent people in a PK, especially since they considered it self-defense. At this time, everyone stuck their heads out and looked down the street, their faces worried, but they were still babbling, "Tsukiyomi didn't even react just now, it was too embarrassing."
"Could today's events have hurt his fragile and cowardly heart?"
"It's over, that guy's forceful logoff was a mental attack, Tsukiyomi was hit."
"Quick, find a girl to soothe the wound in Tsukiyomi's heart!!"
"Oh, speak of the devil…"
The rooftop fell silent in an instant. Gu Fei had just helped Tsukiyomi Sakura up and asked, "Are you okay?" when he suddenly sensed the strange atmosphere. He turned around and saw a girl just turning out of the corner, staring blankly at them.
Tsukiyomi Sakura, who was still a little dazed, immediately swept away his dejected state when he saw who it was, and said with great joy, "It's you, what are you doing here?" He ran up to her excitedly.
"As expected of Tsukiyomi, his recovery is S-grade!" everyone commented.
"It's better to say that the beauty is an S-grade healing medicine for Tsukiyomi."
"Tsk tsk, she appeared at the right time, is this the legendary fate?"
Everyone quietly watched the street below, expecting something touching to happen.
As a result, the girl's gaze passed through Tsukiyomi Sakura and landed on Gu Fei. "What are you doing here?"
"Ahhhhh!!!" Everyone on the roof completely went crazy.
"What's going on? Does every woman in Cloud Piercer City know him? What is he?!"
"Fireball, tell me, who is he…" everyone shouted.
"Tch, how can you otakus understand how deeply hidden my Drunk bro is." Fireball said with great satisfaction.
The person who came was naturally Misty Powder. Gu Fei looked at her. "Uh, I came to do something, what are you doing here?"
"Hehe, I told you that the archer camp is the closest to logging off from here, it seems you still remember!" Tsukiyomi Sakura said smugly.
Misty Powder didn't say anything, and hung her head. "I'm leaving." After saying that, she crossed the street and continued towards the archer camp.
"Tsukiyomi, go, Tsukiyomi, go, Tsukiyomi, go!!!" Everyone on the roof waved their bows and arrows and shouted.
"Definitely!!" Tsukiyomi Sakura grinned, tidied up his equipment, and quickly chased after her.
Jian Gui also quietly came to Gu Fei's side at this time and whispered, "Are they all your friends?"
Gu Fei looked up at the rooftop full of sneaky men and was speechless.
