Remnant Dream didn't fall to his death. He knew that Gu Fei was right behind him, so he didn't dare return to the safe zone. He got up and ran.
"Make way! Make way! "Gu Fei shouted as he squeezed through the crowd.
The crowd was on Gu Fei's side, but now that they were in a group, it was out of his control. Although he wanted to make way, 80% of the crowd had to be squeezed out by Gu Fei.
With Gu Fei's strength, squeezing out of the crowd was more difficult than fighting the seven Calabash Brothers. Behind him, Fierce Blaze was still shouting, "Stop!". Gu Fei was annoyed to death by her. He tried his best not to turn around and stab her. It looked like she was helping him out of kindness, but Gu Fei guessed that she was just showing off. It was hard for him to have a good impression of her.
Remnant Dream was already 50 meters away by the time he got out of the crowd. This was a distance that even Fireball couldn't reach. Gu Fei had no way of killing him, so he could only run as fast as he could.
Although Remnant Dream was only level 24, as a Thief, he had an advantage in Agility over Gu Fei. He also had Frost Memories, which gave him 25 Agility, and the 14% movement speed buff from the Shadow Boots. His speed wasn't slow at all. However, the movement speed in the game was accurate. After chasing for a while, Gu Fei discovered that he was still slightly faster than Remnant Dream. The distance between the two was shrinking bit by bit.
Remnant Dream looked back as he ran. Seeing Gu Fei getting closer and closer, he panicked. He wanted to ask for help from his companions, but he didn't dare to send a message while running. It was like reading while running. If he didn't fall, he would run into a tree. Remnant Dream didn't want to die this time. He was currently level 24. If he lost another level, Stealth would disappear.
Stealth was undoubtedly the Thief's most distinctive class feature. It was a skill that reflected their strengths. Any Thief would spend a lot of time and effort training this skill. Remnant Dream's death was no exception. When she thought about how she would lose all the effort she had put into sneaking around, her heart trembled.
Since he couldn't find the time to send a message, Remnant Dream could only use the most primitive method. He ran while shouting, "Save me! I'm here!!! " He hoped that his companions nearby could hear his cry for help, but he was quickly met with looks of disdain from the surrounding players.
PvP happened every day, but to be scared by PvP and call for help was a disgrace to the game.
The two continued to speed up the speed of life and death. In the blink of an eye, they were already at the intersection of the street. Remnant Dream chose to turn without hesitation. This situation was clearly disadvantageous to Gu Fei. After turning a corner, he changed his appearance and blended into the crowd. It wasn't easy to find him. Coincidentally, there were many players passing through the streets near the safe zone. Everything seemed to be developing in Remnant Dream's favor.
Sure enough, by the time Gu Fei reached the intersection and turned, the running figure had already disappeared from his sight. Among the players walking back and forth, who knew who Remnant Dream had died to?
Gu Fei carefully walked on the street, looking left and right at the players, but he did not find anything.
Gu Fei reluctantly sent a message to his comrades in the mercenary group. "Sorry, he probably ran away!"
"What?"
"I was careless and let him escape from the safe zone." Gu Fei said.
"It doesn't matter. Now that I know him, there will be opportunities in the future."
"I can't get Frost Memories back! Just a little more! "Gu Fei was extremely depressed. Originally, he knew that it wouldn't be easy to get Frost Memories back, but just now, the opportunity was right in front of him, almost within reach. But …
"Hey!" Just as he was thinking, someone called out to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei turned around and saw that it was Lie Lie who had also chased over. He immediately grabbed her collar. "Why are you still following me?"
"What? Let me go!! "With Lie Lie's temper, she wouldn't be so easily frightened by Gu Fei.
The surrounding players began to stop and watch. Gu Fei also realized that the other party was a girl, and his actions seemed to be a bit too bold. Thus, he let go of her hand and angrily said, "Don't follow me anymore."
"What are you doing! I'm helping you! "Lie Lie said.
"You threw him away, didn't you see!" Gu Fei roared.
"If I didn't throw him away, he would've stabbed you. You're just a small Mage, so wouldn't you be instantly killed?" Lie Lie said righteously.
"Do you have cancer in your eyes? Didn't you see that I already flashed away? "Gu Fei said.
"Don't brag!" Lie Lie curled her lips. A normal person wouldn't be able to see that Gu Fei had already flashed away. Even the person involved, Remnant Dream, wouldn't know that his Backstab had already been used up. Bystanders would think that his Backstab was still in progress. Lie Lie thought that she had appeared just in time, otherwise Gu Fei would've definitely been stabbed.
There was really no way to explain this, and Gu Fei was also too lazy to explain. He coldly said, "Just don't follow me anymore."
"You're being unreasonable!" Lie Lie yelled.
"If I was being unreasonable, I would've already killed you." Gu Fei said.
"Alright, come at me!" Lie Lie took the initiative to attack, waving her hand and sending a punch over.
Gu Fei slightly raised his hand, and with a pull of his palm, the power of this punch was already directed in another direction. Following that, he used the momentum to hook his leg, and without any hesitation, Lie Lie fell to the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Not everyone will go easy on you girls." Gu Fei coldly said, "Don't get in my way anymore." After saying that, he turned around and left.
This time, Lie Lie was finally frightened. She flipped over and sat on the ground in a daze.
He had casually thrown himself to the ground. This definitely wasn't a skill or technique in the game. Lie Lie, who had some foundation in Kung Fu, understood better than most people what was going on. This guy knew Kung Fu … and he was many times stronger than her. He was someone who truly knew Kung Fu.
Gu Fei, who had left Lie Lie behind, walked the entire street, but still couldn't find Remnant Dream. He could only sigh deeply. Then he sent a message to the guys in the mercenary group. "We can't catch up. Which city gate mailboxes are you guys camping at? I'll go guard one as well. "
"There's no one guarding the west gate, you go!"
"Okay!" Gu Fei closed the chat channel and looked up to find the direction. Then he saw a girl waving at him from the side of the street, her expression half smiling.
Xi Xiaotian.
"I'm in a hurry, I can't talk to you now." Gu Fei waved at her as a greeting, then buried his head and prepared to hurry on his way.
"Don't rush!" Xi Xiaotian ran over to stop Gu Fei.
"I'm really in a hurry!" Gu Fei said.
Xi Xiaotian smiled and pointed at Lie Lie, who was still sitting on the ground. "That's too much!"
Gu Fei glanced back. "I hope you're holding back. Otherwise, if I twist her head off, what else can you use to describe me? "
"Is it that serious?"
"I'll tell you when I'm free, I really have something to do right now." Gu Fei walked around Xi Xiaotian and ran.
Xi Xiaotian didn't let him go. She turned around and chased after him in a few steps.
"What?" Gu Fei asked.
"You run, I run. Why do you care?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"You run pretty fast," Gu Fei said. There were very few people in the game who put all their points into Dexterity, so sometimes even Thieves or Archers couldn't be faster than Gu Fei.
"I also put all my points into Dexterity, and I have a class advantage," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh … What's your class?" Gu Fei remembered that he still didn't know Xi Xiaotian's class. This girl's class couldn't be determined from her clothes. For example, the purple robe she wore the first time they met. Gu Fei already knew that was a robe worn by Priests, and now, she was wearing a Thief's cloak.
"Archer." Xi Xiaotian's answer didn't match her equipment at all.
A full Dexterity Archer obviously wouldn't be slower than Gu Fei. This was the class with the greatest advantage in Dexterity.
Gu Fei nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Go kill someone!" Xi Xiaotian tried to talk to him.
"I hope so …" Gu Fei said. Indeed, he hoped that Remnant Dream would appear at West Gate's mailbox.
Without another word, Gu Fei ran all the way to West Gate with Xi Xiaotian following him. Gu Fei looked at her strangely several times, but she pretended not to see it.
Gu Fei let out a sigh of relief when he didn't see Remnant Dream at West Gate's mailbox. He had already rushed here at full speed. If Remnant Dream had come here from that place, she probably wouldn't have been faster than him.
Gu Fei retreated to the side of the street. If Remnant Dream had seen him from afar, she wouldn't have come here no matter what. Gu Fei hid in a corner and looked at the mailbox. Suddenly, he smacked his head.
He was so stupid! He kept thinking that Remnant Dream had Frosty Memory in his hands. Why didn't he just wait for him to mail it? If he wanted to mail it, he obviously had to hold Frosty Memory in his hands and put it in the mailbox. This was enough time to snatch it.
At this moment, Gu Fei was extremely annoyed at the fact that he had kicked Remnant Dream out of the mailbox. He didn't think that he would lose a great opportunity to snatch back Frosty Memory not just once, but twice.
This method wasn't going to work so well. When Remnant Dream had died, Gu Fei had been right next to him and had been very polite and friendly. Now, Gu Fei was still fifty meters away from him and he was already shouting for help. It was almost impossible to snatch back Frosty Memory the instant he mailed it.
Gu Fei was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"Why do you suddenly look so regretful?" Xi Xiaotian asked him.
"I'm so stupid, really!" Gu Fei said.
"I agree," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei looked up at the sky and sighed. In the end, he asked Xi Xiaotian, "Why have you been following me all this time? If you want to help me, I have to set some rules so that you don't make the same mistake as Lie Lie. "
"Who wants to help you? I'm just here to mail something," Xi Xiaotian said coldly and walked towards the mailbox.
Gu Fei glanced at her listlessly and didn't pay attention to her anymore. Xi Xiaotian arrived in front of the mailbox and looked back. Gu Fei was focused on a few nearby intersections. Xi Xiaotian smiled and took something out of his pocket. He knocked on the mailbox a few times and said, "I'm going to send something!"
"Go ahead. Why are you yelling?" Gu Fei glanced at her and his eyes suddenly lit up. In Xi Xiaotian's hand was a dagger that emitted alternating blue and white light. Even though Gu Fei didn't know appraisal, he could tell what it was at a glance. He instantly rushed over and grabbed Xi Xiaotian's wrist.
"Why is it in your hands?" Gu Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Why do you think?" Xi Xiaotian smiled like a flower.
Gu Fei didn't say anything. When he chased after Remnant Dream to his death, Frost Memories had been in his hands. Naturally, Xi Xiaotian had obtained it when he turned the corner and she greeted him.
"Actually, your initial guess wasn't wrong. I'm indeed in cahoots with them," said Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei's expression changed.
"But there's another thought that you should add. I'm in cahoots with them, and I have ulterior motives, "said Xi Xiaotian.
"You want to mix with them, gain their trust, and then cheat them of their ultimate equipment?" asked Gu Fei.
"You could say that it's a double-cross," said Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei smiled. Seeing that Xi Xiaotian's wrist was still in his hand, he quickly let go.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll mail it away?" Xi Xiaotian shook Frost Memories again.
"Then you don't have to let me see it," said Gu Fei.
"I let you see it, but I didn't say I would return it to you," said Xi Xiaotian.
"…"
"Besides, it's not yours, and I didn't trick your friend into giving it to me," said Xi Xiaotian.
"…"
"What do you think? Speechless?" said Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei indeed had nothing to say. Xi Xiaotian was already a third party that had handled Frost Memories. Remnant Dream and the others' despicable act of stealing equipment from the Sword Ghost wasn't something that Xi Xiaotian could bear. Even though there was an eighty percent chance that she hadn't used any proper methods. In other words, if she had used proper methods to buy Frost Memories from Remnant Dream, how would she deal with it now?
If this was in real life, you could say that Frost Memories was stolen property, and any transactions related to it weren't protected by the law. But in the game, at this moment, Gu Fei really had nothing to say.
"Hahaha, so there are times when you don't have anything to say." Xi Xiaotian was delighted. She waved her hand and handed Frost Memories over. "I'll give it back to you!"
"Oh? You're so kind? "Gu Fei took it and looked at it carefully, confirming that it wasn't a fake.
"Because that guy is your friend," said Xi Xiaotian.
"My face sure is big." Gu Fei laughed.
"At least he's not that annoying," said Xi Xiaotian.
Gu Fei laughed.
"Also, it felt really good when you threw Lie over. I don't like that girl either," said Xi Xiaotian.
"If you had said that earlier, I would've twisted her head off." Gu Fei's depression had been swept away, and he was in an unprecedentedly good mood. In his heart, Lie wasn't that annoying anymore. He was just playing along with Xi Xiaotian's words.
"Speaking of which, how did you get it?" Gu Fei asked.
"I tricked it." Xi Xiaotian emphasized the word "tricked". "I don't think you're interested in the process."
"Or can you tell me about it?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's very simple. I said before that I'm already in this organization. Even though I'm not really an important member, I can use certain methods to make people think that I'm an important member," said Xi Xiaotian.
"Certain methods?" Gu Fei repeated.
Xi Xiaotian looked at him. "Tell me that your thoughts are pure."
"Uh, actually, I don't have any thoughts. It's just a question," Gu Fei said.
"Certain methods, like a fox borrowing the tiger's might. Think about it yourself! "Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded. "I have a rough idea."
"Then, it's your role. Your pursuit has put a lot of pressure on him, but from beginning to end, he never understood why you were chasing him. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"We hid it from him on purpose. Otherwise, he would've transferred Frost Memories," Gu Fei said.
"So, I told him." Xi Xiaotian smiled.
Gu Fei suddenly understood. "So, he gave you Frost Memories?"
"It's simple, isn't it?"
"It's simple in theory, but the difficult part is to gain his trust, right?" Gu Fei said.
"If I help him solve a problem when he's in danger, his trust in me will naturally increase. That's how people think, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"What did you help him solve?"
"You didn't catch him, did you?" Xi Xiaotian smiled.
"You hid him?" Gu Fei suddenly understood.
"I just reminded him that he's a thief and should know how to sneak around," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded. On that street, Gu Fei and Lie Lie had an argument, which attracted a lot of attention. Especially when Gu Fei cruelly knocked over a beautiful girl, it was even more eye-catching. In this kind of situation, Gu Fei was being watched by too many people. It was simply impossible to pick out the stealthed Remnant Dream from among them.
"Now you understand, right?" Xi Xiaotian said. "What else do you want to say?"
"Thanks," Gu Fei said.
"No need to thank me." Xi Xiaotian smiled faintly. "There will be times when you hate me."
"Is that so?"
"Yes!" Xi Xiaotian nodded.
