"Hey, hurry up and do it. What are you hesitating for?" Everyone in the circle hesitated when they saw Giordano's heart-wrenching pain. Gu Fei only hesitated in his heart, but his expression did not change. Slender Waist Dance already had a pitying expression on her face. Only Gu Xian remained unmoved. After seeing the two's hesitation, he gave them a word of warning.
"How pitiful," Slender Waist Dance said.
"We're running out of time." Gu Fei's words were for himself. He had to make a decision quickly. The fog was about to arrive. When the time came, a large number of system guards would rush over. Even a god wouldn't be able to escape.
"Come on, come on!!" At this moment, the crowd suddenly came closer. Someone shouted. Then, Sword Ghost squeezed through the crowd with his face covered. In this day and age, masked people were no longer rare. Masked masks were a common type of equipment for assassins. However, for the Sword Ghost, it was more important not to reveal his face. Obviously, he knew that he belonged to the type that people would never forget after seeing him.
Of course, Sword Specter also knew the coordinates of the assassination site. After escaping from the woodshed, he used the tricks that Gu Fei taught him to get away with it and came all the way here, just in time for the final stage of the mission.
Sword Ghost immediately saw Giordano kneeling on the ground in pain. He couldn't see his expression because of his mask, but everyone could hear his surprised tone, "Success!!!"
"Yeah!" Gu Fei nodded.
"What about now?" Sword Ghost didn't understand why Gu Fei and Slender Waist Dance didn't make a move. They were standing next to Giordano like bodyguards. Huh, isn't this cousin from the Gu Family? Why is he here again … Sword Ghost was very polite. He didn't even bother to greet them in the middle of a crisis.
"How pitiful …" Slender Waist Dance said to Sword Ghost as she pointed at Giordano.
"Huh?" Sword Ghost was confused. As expected of a veteran MMORPG player. His mental fortitude was very strong. In his eyes, Giordano wasn't a person. It was experience, gold, or a treasure box. He wouldn't have this kind of sympathy for a system character. Slender Waist Dance was a girl. Sword Ghost could understand her mentality. Girls were often more immersive when playing MMORPG, but Gu Fei … He didn't even blink when killing players. Sword Ghost suddenly felt that human nature was too complicated …
"We don't have much time," Sword Ghost reminded Gu Fei.
"I'll leave it to you!" Gu Fei patted the Sword Specter.
The Sword Ghost did not hesitate at all and immediately stepped forward. Anyone could tell that Giordano was not going to resist at all. If this was a normal game's plot, he would only have a sliver of HP left and say his last words. Finally, the player would casually stab him and the plot would be completed.
That was exactly what the Sword Ghost did. He stabbed the knife into Giordano's body, and then there was the sound of him falling to the ground. The Sword Ghost turned his head excitedly. "I got it. There really is a quest. Your deduction was right."
"What did you get?" Gu Fei asked.
The Sword Phantom held up a bloody package: Giordano's head. Just like the assassination of the Great Thief Sutton, the moment the corpse fell to the ground, the system automatically completed the decapitation process. After all, having the player chop off the head was too violent and bloody.
"Let's retreat!" said the Sword Ghost. He felt a little strange. The mission had been completed so smoothly. Why couldn't these people have a look of joy on their faces?
"Yes, we have to go." Gu Fei looked at the time and looked around. The fog had thinned a little. It seemed like the water vapor absorber had started working again. The players who were watching in the fog were tired from the group battle. When they had time, they turned their heads to look at Gu Fei's side. They were shocked to find that the person who issued the quest, Giordano, who they had to protect, had already lost his head. He was lying alone in the yellow sand …
"Ahhhhhh!!!" The players who were watching in the fog believed that this was a super awesome quest that they had failed. Everyone was going crazy. Some people didn't care about anything else and wanted to fight the murderer to the death. However, they were quickly stopped by their opponents. The murderer in their eyes was a hero, a knight, and a savior of the guild war in the eyes of their opponents.
"Hey, aren't you leaving? How long are you going to stay here and pick your nose? "Gu Fei and the others were about to retreat, but Gu Xian was still sitting on the ground.
"No need. I want to draw a clear line between us. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome," said Gu Xian.
Thus, Gu Fei ignored him and led the other two into the fray.
The three of them were treated like heroes. The players in this area tried their best to protect the three of them. This was something that Gu Fei didn't expect. However, they had already researched the route of retreat. From the start of this quest, the biggest threat in Gu Fei's mind was the NPC soldiers. In order to block their line of sight, the route of retreat was to avoid contact with them as much as possible.
With the protection of the team, the carefully chosen route, and the extraordinary speed of the three of them, the retreat was more daunting than dangerous. The three of them smoothly rushed out of the main entrance of the government compound. Behind them, the sounds of killing could still be heard.
"It's over …" Gu Fei looked back. He had spent a lot of time and energy on this for the past few days. Now that he had reached the end, everything was in the past. He suddenly felt a little disappointed.
The Sword Ghost wasn't disappointed at all. He didn't feel disgusted at all as he held the bag of blood in his hand. For a veteran player, the reward of the quest was the most exciting moment.
"Yo, it's already done?" The three of them walked out of the main entrance. After a few steps, a figure appeared in the fog in front of them. He saw the three of them and called out to them.
"Why are you here?" The person waiting here was actually the Han Family's young master.
"If it wasn't for my series of arrangements, would your quest have gone so smoothly?" The Han Family's young master said.
"What arrangements did you make?" Gu Fei said.
"Think about it yourself!"
Giordano was already dead, but the old friend was still there. The annoying guy was still as annoying as ever. The melancholy in Gu Fei's heart suddenly lessened. It was probably washed away by this annoyance.
"Let's leave this place first!" The Sword Ghost said. He was afraid that the people in the fog would surround them at any moment.
"Let's leave. It's almost over." The Han Family's young master said as he looked towards the courtyard. At this time, the fog had finally dispersed. Experienced players could immediately see that one side of the battle was clearly in the middle of an organized retreat.
"What did you do?" Gu Fei asked the Han Family's young master. Gu Fei was sure that the actions of this group of people in the fog were within the Han Family's young master's calculations. Of course, this wasn't just a guess. He should have been guiding them in the dark to coordinate with Gu Fei and the others.
Suddenly, Gu Fei thought of the most critical moment of the operation: when they were surrounded by the players in the fog at the assassination site, the other guild suddenly rushed over. Was this really a lucky coincidence?
It wasn't hard to make this kind of arrangement. As long as they gave these guilds some hints and told them that Giordano was a very important character, as well as revealed reasonable coordinates, this kind of coincidence was completely predictable.
Gu Fei quickly remembered that when he and the Sword Ghost were researching the quest together, the Han Family's young master had also taken his notebook and casually glanced at it. This guy really knew how to look at the important points.
Gu Fei sorted out the Han Family's young master's thoughts. The things that he had overlooked, this guy who was an outsider had actually considered all of them. He had to admit that this guy's overall strategic thinking was a cut above others. He would calculate every single detail and make sure there was no deviation.
"What do you think? Are you convinced now?" The Han Family's young master didn't answer Gu Fei's question, but looking at Gu Fei's expression, he probably guessed it.
"You seem to have grasped all of our actions!" Gu Fei felt that this was unbelievable. This guy's guesses were too accurate!
"Of course, I have the Sword Ghost …" The real answer was that simple.
"Brother You, where's the wooden hut in the oak forest of Forest Shade City?" At this time, the Sword Ghost couldn't wait to complete the quest and asked Brother You.
With Brother You's intelligence habits, he would naturally remember the coordinates of the places he passed by. After replying, he asked, "Did you guys find anything new?"
"Not just that, we've already completed it," the Sword Ghost said.
"What?"
"We've successfully assassinated Giordano!" the Sword Ghost announced.
"This … can we actually complete the quest without the quest menu?" Brother You's stubborn thinking about the online game was overturned.
"Damn, I miscalculated …" Zhan Wu Shang sighed.
"So we should've followed Thousand Miles this time …" Imperial Shenming was also regretful.
"Brother You, you can't be dogmatic with experience. You've learned from this!" Zhan Wu Shang said.
"Yes, innovation is very important. Look at Thousand Miles!!! Learn more! "Imperial Shenming said.
"Hey … you two, you don't have to post your sarcastic remarks in the channel for everyone to see!" Brother You was depressed. These two were clearly beside him, but they were talking to him in the channel. Could it be that they had some ulterior motives?
The two's intentions were quickly exposed, and they said in the channel at almost the same time, "Big Brother Thousand Miles, bring us to receive our rewards!"
"Shameless!!!!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, who does this quest belong to?" The Sword Ghost was also confused. After all, there was nothing in the quest menu.
"Everyone, go and receive your rewards! You'll know once you try!! "The two shameless guys continued to shout.
"If even you can receive rewards, then there's really no justice in this world." The Han Family's son said. Although those people made a trip to Shady Forest City, it had nothing to do with the actual assassination. If they were to insist on a connection, touching the Misty Shadow Assassin's diary was probably their only achievement.
"Then are we going to Shady Forest City now?" The Sword Ghost was very spirited.
"Tomorrow, it's time to go offline." Gu Fei said.
"Oh, that's good." For the Sword Ghost, this day must be very difficult, but since it was Gu Fei, then no one would have any objections.
"Then we don't have to come back, right?" The three who were still on the way back asked.
"No need." The Han Family's son said.
"Then who's that? Jian Nan You's group, aren't they going to continue the chase? Isn't there still a staff? "The two greedy guys wanted everything.
"A bunch of trash. If you remembered things, it would've been over long ago." The Han Family's son said.
