Chapter 1 Without Hesitation

Without hesitation, Fang Yue directly entered the game.

The location was still the crematorium where he logged off.

Getting up, he headed straight for the guardhouse. Fang Yue found that Lin Ling was still strictly interrogating the six men, scaring them into trembling.

"Lin Ling! I know who the traitor is!"

Lin Ling was stunned, then turned his head sharply.

"Speak! Which one of them is it! I'll cripple him directly and take him to Hua Wu Ye so she can take revenge herself!"

Hearing this, the faces of the six men turned pale with fright.

"Don't! Captain Lin, I really didn't kill Captain Hua's family!"

"That's right! We're innocent!"

"Waaah! Captain Lin, I'll never dare to slack off while patrolling again, please don't scare me, waaaah!"

They were genuinely terrified.

They were brought here for no reason and subjected to Lin Ling's strict interrogation and high-intensity pressure. Who could handle that?

Fortunately, Fang Yue had arrived.

"It's not them. The traitor isn't among them. It's someone else!"

What?!

Lin Ling was taken aback. "Who is it?"

"You'll know if you come with me."

Lin Ling hesitated for a moment, but didn't dawdle. He told the team members to stay here for now, and then followed Fang Yue.

In his heart, he was still somewhat doubtful.

"Xiao Ye, you said you know who the traitor is? How confident are you that the person you're looking for is the traitor?"

"One hundred percent!"

I'm kidding. I've basically got a cheat running on my side!

If it were someone else, they would have been killed by the traitor, and there would be no way to prove anything. They wouldn't be able to find the person at all.

But when a player dies, it's just logging out of the game for 24 hours, which has no impact at all.

As long as you find the person, contact them in real life, and that's first-hand information!

The traitor made a mistake despite being meticulous... No, it should be said that normal native NPCs would never have thought there would be such a trick.

This is the power of cheating!

"One hundred percent?!"

Lin Ling's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, exuding a murderous aura.

"Where are we going? I'll have someone call Hua Wu Ye over!"

Fang Yue didn't care either way, and said directly, "The Talent Market."

...

The Talent Market.

Sitting on the ground, Wei Ba looked at the people coming and going with some confusion.

Looking around, they were all players with dejected expressions.

In Gu Yue Village, Night Bro said he could keep someone, and he could keep someone.

If Night Bro helps me, I should be able to stay in the village, right...?

Just as Wei Ba was thinking about this, he suddenly noticed a commotion up ahead.

Standing up and craning his neck to look, Wei Ba immediately became excited.

Over there, Night Bro was walking towards this way with someone!

Just as Wei Ba was about to go up and try to get a job by making connections, he noticed that Night Bro's expression was somewhat serious. The big brother next to him even had a terribly gloomy face, looking like a berserker about to kill someone at any moment.

Shrinking his neck, Wei Ba silently sat back down.

"I can't see, I can't see, I can't see... He shouldn't be looking for me..."

Just as Wei Ba sat down, Fang Yue and Lin Ling stopped at the entrance of the Talent Market.

"Vice-Captain Ye? Captain Lin? What brings you here?"

Mu Zi had the team members stabilize the somewhat turbulent refugees, and then went up to them, asking strangely.

Fang Yue looked at Mu Zi, then looked around, grinned, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to see how things are going at the Talent Market. You go ahead and do your thing."

"Alright then..."

Although Mu Zi was somewhat puzzled, she still turned around to go back.

Then, she heard a sound.

It was the sound of a blade being drawn from its sheath.

*Zheng!!*

By the time she subconsciously turned her head...

A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and her calf was directly cut halfway through by the Leng Yue blade, reaching the bone in one step, and blood splattered out.

She herself let out a scream, her face turning pale in an instant, and was forced to kneel on one knee.

When she looked up again, Fang Yue had already drawn his blade, and the Leng Yue blade was resting on her neck.

"Vice-Captain Ye?! What, what are you doing?! And Captain Lin, say something to him!"

Mu Zi was sweating from the pain, her body trembling slightly, but her expression was full of confusion and shock.

"Keep acting, keep acting!"

Fang Yue chuckled and said to Lin Ling, "Bro Lin, do you trust me?"

"I do."

"Stab her in the chest with a spear, avoid the vital spots, and nail her here first."

"Alright!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ling raised his spear and stabbed fiercely. The stab was so fierce that it created afterimages. Before Mu Zi could react, it directly pierced through her chest cavity, nailing her to the ground.

Blood spurted out, and Mu Zi opened her mouth and let out two "Ah-wa" sounds, as if she was in too much pain to speak, looking pitiful and weak.

Fang Yue was afraid that his stats during the day would not be enough, and that the damage from that one blade would not be enough to hold her, so he had Lin Ling make a move as well.

Now, Fang Yue was relieved to put away the Leng Yue blade, and reached out to pat her cheek.

"Mu Zi, there's no turning back now, stop pretending, and confess everything."

Mu Zi looked up, teary-eyed and pitiful, as if she was about to die at any moment with every word she said: "I, I really don't understand what you're talking about, Captain Lin, it's one thing for Vice-Captain Ye to mess around, but why are you too..."

Lin Ling didn't speak, because Fang Yue had already told him everything when they came over.

"Why bother, Mu Zi? There's no point in being stubborn. I'll ask you, where did you go last night after leaving the library and the guardhouse?"

"Patrolling the night..."

"Oh, then why did your team members say that you didn't return to the team immediately, but that they waited a long time before seeing you?"

"I went home on the way, is that against the rules!"

"Of course not against the rules."

Fang Yue smiled grimly: "But the home you went to wasn't your own home, but Hua Wu Ye's home! You used my face to kill Hua Wu Ye's entire family! And then you went back to your team members! Am I right?"

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't! Captain Lin! Don't blame me just because you can't find the culprit! It's a false accusation! A false accusation!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mu Zi, I have to admit, your plan was perfect, but... You made a mistake despite being meticulous! On the way back, you killed someone you shouldn't have killed! That... refugee, he didn't die!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zi's pupils shrank violently: "...I don't understand."

"You don't understand? It doesn't matter, I'll explain! You know too little about us refugees. After killing that refugee, you didn't know that we refugees have a special way of communicating with each other, even after death. He told me that you were the one who killed him, and you were carrying a strange skin-like item at the time! At the same time, I also had Lin Ling investigate, and you practiced swordsmanship for a while when you became a team leader! It's just that you later switched back to specializing in spearmanship."

"And for some reason, you suddenly exchanged for a martial art last night, and that was... swordsmanship!"

"Miss, temporary cramming isn't right!"
