For the criminals, the next few days were like living in a nightmare.
Fangzheng led Astor and Celestia to patrol the third floor, killing every orange player they saw without hesitation. In the beginning, the orange criminals didn't notice anything strange. But as their companions decreased and their names were crossed off the Monument of Life, they finally felt fear and panic.
As Fangzheng and the others did not communicate with anyone during the operation, even if they encountered players who were surrounded by criminals, he would go forward and directly take the criminals' heads before turning around and leaving. Therefore, soon, rumors of "PKK" began to spread among the players.
Rumors spread among the players.
Some players thought that it was because some high-level players couldn't stand the actions of criminal guilds like Smiling Coffin. Some players thought that it was another punishment for criminals in the game system. Those who killed orange players weren't players, but NPCs controlled by the system.
But no matter what, after the massacre by Fangzheng's group, the chaotic game environment began to calm down. No one dared to brazenly block the players in the leveling and gathering areas. Although there were still occasional conflicts, they were mostly arguments. There were very few situations where a fight broke out.
After all, no matter if PKK was a player or an NPC, no one would be willing to be hacked to death because of such a sudden situation, right?
This was exactly what Fangzheng wanted to achieve. The reason why the criminals dared to commit such blatant crimes was partly because of the evil desires in their hearts and partly because they adhered to the mentality that the law couldn't punish the majority. After all, there was currently no GM in the game, so there was no way to convict them. After breaking free from the shackles, they naturally felt that they could do whatever they wanted.
And once they clearly understood that no matter how many of them there were, they would still be killed mercilessly, so these soft persimmons that were blown up immediately withered away.
The situation in the lower layer didn't affect the Darkmoon Sword at all. They still did what they were supposed to do. Or perhaps … they didn't have the time to care about other things now.
"That's all for now. Rest for an hour."
Following Fangzheng's words, the originally panting young girls suddenly fell to the ground like broken dolls.
Fangzheng was a man of his word. When he said that he would double the training, he doubled it. In order to not go to the sixth level to fight again, these girls were also going all out.
"I'm so envious of Qi Hai and the others …"
Sprawled on the ground, rolling on the ground while complaining. Fangzheng didn't give everyone double the training. The young ladies who weren't afraid of the insects were sent to the sixth floor for exploration. Only those who were determined not to go were left behind to be punished.
In other words, Astor, Restia, Qi Hai, Ji, and Gabelli were going through normal training, while the others were going through double training as punishment. As for Fangzheng, he didn't show any mercy. He trained Ying Lili and company until they were on the brink of death.
"Do you want me to send you to the sixth floor?"
Hearing Lily Ying's complaints, Fangzheng swept a glance at her. Lily Ying trembled and shook her head frantically.
"No, no, no! I won't go even if you beat me to death!"
Although double training was much more intense than ordinary exploration on the sixth floor, Lily Ying would rather continue with double training than go to the sixth floor. The reason was simple. As Gabelli and the others ventured deeper, the entire sixth floor's environment was basically unfolded. Apart from the forests and swamps in the early stages, the middle and later stages were basically caves with all sorts of insects and monsters.
For example, bats and even slugs …
After hearing about the sixth floor's situation from Ji and the others, Asuna and Ying Lili were unwilling to go to the sixth floor.
"Come to think of it … Have you guys heard?"
As if to relax the atmosphere, Qing Ye took a sip of water, clapped his hands, and started a topic.
"Recently, there seem to be spirits in the forest near our encampment."
"Eh — —!?"
Asuna's body tensed up instantly. On the other hand, Ying Lili and Lingyin were intrigued.
"What? Spirits? What happened? "
"Sophie told me about it when I was chatting with her."
Seeing that everyone was interested, Qing Ye also giggled and continued speaking.
The Sophie she was talking about was also a member of the Dark Moon Sword guild. She was a production type player, but unlike the others, Sophie's time difference was reversed. She always slept during the day and woke up at night. Therefore, Sophie was basically a fixed member of the Dark Moon Sword Guild.
And this young lady was also very strange. She called herself an 'ordinary vampire' … Therefore, in the Dark Moon Sword Guild, Black Cat, Gabelli, and Sophie were called the 'Middle Three Swordsman' …
Alright, let's stop with the gossip.
"This is what happened. Two days ago, when Sophie was on night duty, she accidentally discovered a white shadow in the nearby forest. Out of curiosity, Sophie went out to take a look. But she didn't expect to see a little girl in a white dress as soon as she approached the forest …"
"Eh!!!"
At this moment, Asuna curled up into a ball and shivered. However, the others didn't seem to notice her as they stared at Qing Ye and waited for her to continue.
"And then?"
Facing Ying Lili's question, Qing Ye continued.
"And then, Sophie went to call the little girl, and then she realized …"
"Realized?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"There wasn't … an arrow."
"Eh? Are you serious? "
At this moment, Mimi also screamed. In the game world, no matter if they were looking at NPCs, players, or anything else, there would be an arrow. But a little girl wandering in the forest in the middle of the night actually didn't have an arrow?
"That's what Sophie said. She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. In the end … there really wasn't an arrow. Then, hearing Sophie's scream, the little girl with her back facing her slowly turned her head … "
"And then?"
"… Then, Sophie ran back in fear."
"… Huh?"
Hearing this anticlimactic description, everyone was speechless.
"That's it?"
"No choice, that's what Sophie said …"
Facing everyone's complaints, Qing Ye also shook her head. But soon, everyone began to discuss.
"But can this be real?"
"It must be fake. This is the game world, so how can there be ghosts?"
"But it's not impossible, right? Didn't you see the ghosts who attached curses to the videotapes? Maybe it's a player who died in the game who didn't want to leave and is still wandering in the game world … "
"Wahhhh, don't say anymore, it's so scary!"
"I have a good idea!"
While everyone was talking, Ying Lili stood up as if she had thought of something.
"Everyone, why don't we have a courage test in that forest!"
