This was destined to be a sleepless night for all players.
In the past, there had been explosive news on the forums. However, this was the only time that every player was closely related to this matter. Although the three Guilds had never been well-liked by ordinary players and had often been criticized for their tyrannical behavior, they had displayed a certain amount of heroism during critical moments.
In less than 20 minutes, the three major guilds issued a joint statement at the top of the forum, prohibiting anyone from spreading the contents of the form in any form. At the same time, they appealed to players who had saved the contents of the form to delete it as soon as possible. In addition, they also issued a stern warning at the end.
It stated that in the next four months, the three major guilds would send no less than 100 experts to investigate the deaths of players. Once they found any human factors, regardless of whether the deceased was a member of the three major guilds or not, they would go all out to arrest the culprit.
This new statement also eased the anxious atmosphere of the forum a little. However, most people still had a shadow in their hearts. They did not know how much of a deterrent the three major guilds' statement would be to the hunters, and they did not know where the players would go after the four-month deadline.
But at the very least, at this moment, when everyone was facing a great enemy and was extremely pessimistic about the future, the three major guilds' statement still played a stabilizing role.
After the players were freed from their depressed and fearful mood, their brains finally began to work again. So, the major guilds suddenly found that their membership applications had increased!
Under the threat of their identity being exposed, everyone had to think about how to protect themselves. In the face of danger, it was also human instinct to stick together. Previously, independent players who did not like the distribution system of the major guilds or the various restrictions realized that they might not be able to survive this crisis by themselves. So, they began to seek to join an organization.
Among them, the most popular were the veteran powerhouses like the three major guilds.
The mailbox of the guild staff responsible for recruiting players was almost instantly full. Even Silver Wing, who had performed poorly in the proxy war, no one dared to tease them anymore.
After all, although the three major guilds had announced that they would treat everyone equally and protect the safety of non-guild members, everyone was an adult. Of course, they would not believe such a promise. If a member of the three major guilds was killed, and an ordinary player outside of the guild was killed, even a fool would know which side the three major guilds were more concerned about.
Moreover, compared to whether or not they could capture a player, everyone was more concerned about how they could survive. Naturally, it would be safer with a large Guild's protection. Hence, it was no surprise that the Guild's recruitment was so popular right now.
There were even some conspiracy theorists who suspected that this was a conspiracy by the large guilds. Perhaps they had forged a list and then had their own people come out to trick everyone into voting.
However, this kind of speculation wasn't very convincing. Although everyone was used to slandering the Three Great Guilds, everyone on the forums had already received the previous message. Everyone knew that even the Three Great Guilds couldn't do such a thing. This, in and of itself, implied that the person who had sent the message had everyone's phone number.
On the other hand, the group of casual players led by the professor were very anxious. If this continued, there would be no more independent players in the future. All the players would be absorbed by the major guilds, and even the small guilds would have no way to survive. Therefore, the professor and the others did not care about Shen Xixi's union being destroyed by the Arc of Light and began to call for the establishment of a new casual alliance.
Unlike the guilds, the professor and the others emphasized that this casual alliance would only help everyone through the dangerous period. After that, it would automatically disband. However, no one knew how long it would take for the incident to pass. The forum was now in a complete mess.
It was also at this time that Zhang Heng realized that the leak this time wasn't directed at him.
However, compared to ordinary players, his situation was indeed more dangerous. The reason was simple. He was more famous, and many people would search for his name when they first saw the list. The same applied to the leaders of the Three Great Guilds. The two strange messages he received earlier were the best proof. Zhang Heng didn't know how many other people knew about his identity, and most importantly, who was behind this?
…
In an inconspicuous residential building on the outskirts of the city.
A man dressed in a variety of clothes, wearing glasses, a permed punk hairstyle, a 2D T-shirt, slippers, and a green water ghost was curled up in front of the computer, looking at the tall and strong figure in front of him with a face full of horror. The figure exuded a violent and chaotic aura.
"I've … done as you said. Are you satisfied now?" As he spoke, he held his head with a pained look on his face. "I've made such a big mess. The game committee will not let me go."
"You don't have to worry about the committee. You should worry about how to get past me first." The figure in front of him sneered, "That bastard Loki is right. You new gods are just a bunch of weaklings who look strong on the outside but are weak on the inside. It's two against one, and I'll give you a handicap. You can't even beat me with one hand. What a waste of your amazing power."
The light cast his shadow on the wall. The part above his neck was not a human head, but a jackal-like head, which also made his face look unusually ferocious.
He stepped on another unconscious person on the ground and sneered, "What kind of bullsh * t mobile phone god is this? 100 million pixels, Snapdragon processor, and 5G connection. Do you think you can withstand my punch?"
"It's possible if Nokia is still around." The man dressed in a variety of clothes smiled bitterly, "You've gotten what you want. There's no point in torturing us anymore. Besides, the people from the committee should be back soon. Our clergy doesn't have violent attributes, but not all of the new gods are like us who are not good at fighting. You may be strong, but you've passed your peak. There are many new and old gods in the committee who can fight better than you."
"What's the hurry? The game has just begun." The Tamed Man grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth. "What happened earlier was just an appetizer. Next, use the account of the guy with the code name Pegasus to post that form again. Also, set the post to be highlighted and pinned to the top. Aren't you the god of the internet? This kind of thing should be easy for you. "
"This … this will cause chaos among the players." The man dressed in a variety of clothes trembled.
"Nonsense. I'm here to spread chaos," the Tamed Man said coldly.
