The incident of Fleeting Time's violent death seemed to have come to an end.
When the "culprit" was taken away, and when the "innocent and pitiful victim" was resurrected, the whole incident seemed to have come to an end.
But that was not the case.
The Map Channel and World Channel had already made a big deal out of the incident. While no one could be sure of the identity of the "culprit", they were all pointing towards one person — Gongzi You.
Of course, the "culprit" was currently being sent to prison. Ye Ci had already turned off the Map Channel and World Channel when she heard Fleeting Time's invitation. She had already decided not to pay attention to the Wisteria Garden and World Channel. She knew that she would go crazy if she continued to pay attention to the two channels.
Even if she used her heel to think, she would know what these two channels were talking about. For the first time in her life, Ye Ci felt that she and Fleeting Time were at odds with each other. If not for that, she would not have been able to cause trouble whenever she met him.
If possible, she would never want to see him again.
But Ye Ci was filled with regret when she thought about her agreement with Absalom. She should've just asked Fleeting Time to kill her. What's the point of working with him? Golden Era? What's so great about that? Even if Golden Era really comes, we're still small Up Everyday. We won't be crushed by Golden Era, right? So why did I have to work with him? With the release of the new expansion pack, wouldn't it mean that the chances of me meeting Fleeting Time in the future have increased?
She was an idiot and a fool. She had really touched a sore spot. Why did they have to cooperate in the first place?!
While Ye Ci was filled with regret, Fleeting Time was not having a good time either.
Fleeting Time was used to being the center of attention, but that did not mean that he liked it. Especially in the current situation ….
Gongzi You's corpse was strewn across the street, Gongzi You's abduction, and the discussion about the wisteria garden in the Map Channel. Under these circumstances, the spectators seemed to have become a little strange. Of course, no one dared to say anything in the face of a top-tier expert like Fleeting Time, but he could still feel the whispers and whispers coming from the crowd ….
Fleeting Time pulled his hood over his face and summoned his signature unicorn. He was ready to leave.
Under normal circumstances, players like Fleeting Time would not take the initiative to greet him unless they were familiar with him. This was the so-called distance between a God and a player like Fleeting Time. Even though there were still many onlookers today, it was clear that something different was going on. That was why today's events could not be judged by normal standards.
Just as Fleeting Time was about to mount his mount, a fearless Werewolf Sorcerer rushed up to him and greeted him, "F-Fleeting Time …"
Fleeting Time raised an eyebrow and stopped himself from mounting his mount. His voice was cold and distant. It was obvious that he did not welcome the Werewolf Sorcerer's appearance. "What's the matter?"
It was apparent that the werewolf mage had been pushed up to the stage by his friends. When he heard Fleeting Time's voice, he subconsciously turned his head to look at his friends and family, and was immediately greeted with cheers from his friends. The werewolf mage's heart was slightly comforted by the cheers of his friends. "About that …"
Fleeting Time glanced at the group of friends, and then back at the Werewolf Sorcerer, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
"Yes, there's something else!" The Werewolf Sorcerer grabbed hold of Fleeting Time's sleeves with a sudden burst of courage. "What are you waiting for?
A frown appeared on Fleeting Time's face as he stared at the Werewolf Sorcerer's hand. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and even though it was hidden under his hood, it was able to pierce through the Werewolf Sorcerer's hand. The Werewolf Sorcerer shuddered, and immediately bounced away as if he had been scalded by a hot iron. Fleeting Time placed his hands behind his back and waited for the Werewolf Sorcerer to speak.
Fleeting Time did not like to interact with strangers due to his personal reasons, but that did not mean that he did not know basic courtesy. Since the Werewolf Sorcerer had something to discuss with him, Fleeting Time decided to stay. He was not interested in the Werewolf Sorcerer's request, but since he had already made a promise to the Werewolf Sorcerer, he decided to wait for a minute or two.
The Werewolf Sorcerer let out a dry chuckle before gulping, "Fleeting Time, was the person who killed you Gongzi You?"
Fleeting Time was momentarily stunned. He then glanced at the lively World Channel and Map Channel, which had become a hotspot for arguments. Of course, there were quite a few questions being asked, and the Werewolf Sorcerer's question was one of the hottest.
The corner of Fleeting Time's lips curled up, but he did not answer the question directly. Instead, he spoke to the Werewolf Sorcerer, "What? Is this important? "
The Werewolf Sorcerer was immediately put in an awkward position. He stood at the side and let out a dry chuckle, "It's not important. It's not important at all." He then retreated into the group of friends. What a joke. Even if he wanted to know the answer, it would not be wise for him to admit that he was a busybody in front of Fleeting Time. Who knows what he's thinking?
When the Werewolf Sorcerer retreated into his group of friends, he was immediately pummeled by them, "How can you say that it's not important? I've already taken a video and screenshot of it! It'll be a great topic to post on the forums! Don't you know that the top 3 posts on the forums will get a prize? How can you say that it's not important? "
"That's right! That's right! How can you say that it's not important? If it's not important, why would we go through so much trouble to get you to talk to him? We thought that Fleeting Time would be difficult to talk to, but now that he's talking to you, you can't just let go of such a good opportunity! "
"You idiot!"
"You idiot!"
The werewolf sorcerer was beaten to a pulp by the group of relatives and friends. As he ran, he complained, "No, don't you see who they are! I wouldn't dare to talk to someone like him! "
Fleeting Time glanced at the Werewolf Sorcerer with a smile, but he did not say a word. If the Werewolf Sorcerer had insisted, Fleeting Time would have given him an answer. Unfortunately, the Werewolf Sorcerer was too timid. Fleeting Time mounted his horse and glanced at the players who were whispering to each other. He then raised his whip and galloped towards the prison in Hero City without saying a word.
Of course, the roads in the city were all clean stone slabs, so it was impossible to raise any dust. However, the surrounding players would open up a path for Fleeting Time's Unicorn, allowing him to pass through without a hitch.
The prison cells in Hero City were relatively large, at least larger than those in other main cities. According to the crimes committed by the players, they would be locked up in different areas. Murderers like Ye Ci were naturally locked up in the deepest part of the prison, the Serious Criminals Zone.
"Elf, you have murdered someone in the downtown area of Hero City. Do you admit to this crime?" The judge of Hero City sat on the high podium and spoke in a very strange tone with his moustache curling up.
"Yes." Ye Ci let out a yawn. How could she not admit to her crime? Her only option was to plead guilty. She did not want to stay in the prison for half a month, nor did she want to play the hero and be executed by the level 240 guards. She had no choice but to plead guilty and plead for leniency.
Ye Ci still felt that her appearance in the courtroom was an undeserved calamity. But that did not affect the proceedings of the trial.
The judge was satisfied with Ye Ci's attitude. He stroked his moustache and smiled, "It seems that you have understood your crime. Since this is your first offense, I will be lenient with you. You must cherish this opportunity and turn over a new leaf."
Ye Ci could not help but roll her eyes in her heart, but she still nodded obediently, "Yes, yes, yes, of course. I'll definitely do it."
An NPC that looked like a clerk stood up and announced his verdict, "Gongzi You, the Elf, has murdered Fleeting Time in the downtown area of Hero City. Gongzi You had committed a heinous crime by killing someone in the middle of the street. She had brought about a detrimental effect on the public security of Hero City, but she was sentenced to three days in jail because she had voluntarily surrendered and pleaded guilty. You will be sentenced immediately! "
Fortunately, it was only three days.
Ye Ci craned her neck and listened carefully to the sentence. She was satisfied when she heard that it was only three days of punishment. This was probably due to the fact that there were not many criminals in the early stages of the game. Hence, the judges would usually sentence the criminals harshly. Ye Ci once saw an unlucky player being sentenced to a month in jail by a judge in her last life. As the number of criminals increased in the later stages of the game, the jail cells were filled to the brim. The judges were too lazy to sentence the criminals one by one, and most of the players were executed on the spot.
It was a pity that the three days would not be spent in the game. Instead, it would be spent in the game for three days and seventy-two hours. This meant that Ye Ci could only sit in her jail cell and do nothing else for the next seventy-two hours.
With a wave of the judge's hand, Ye Ci was escorted to her cell by the guards.
At the same time, the system announced the verdict in the Map Channel and the Local Defense Channel. All the channels were abuzz with activity.
After all, the news of Gongzi You killing Fleeting Time on the streets was much more interesting than the news of Fleeting Time's corpse lying on the streets. Ye Ci was greeted with a steady stream of messages as she was escorted to her jail cell. They were mostly messages from her non-guild friends, and Ye Ci was too lazy to reply to them all.
As for those fellows in the guild, they were even more anxious to see the world in chaos.
"Ah! Guild leader! You killed Fleeting Time on the streets of Hero City! You're too daring! You're able to kill Fleeting Time in front of so many people! You're worthy of my respect! "Pea Cake immediately jumped out, and his words were laced with jealousy.
"Cut the crap. She would've run away if she was able to kill Fleeting Time. Now that she's been caught and broadcasted to the world, it's obvious that she's not as godly as you make her out to be." Jelly immediately rebuked Pea Cake.
"If she wasn't able to kill Fleeting Time without being noticed … Then why was Fleeting Time killed?" Ideal Height 1.7m chuckled, "With Fleeting Time's skills, even if Gongzi was able to kill him, it would've been impossible for her to kill him without being noticed. She would've had to engage in a fight to have a chance. But why was she able to kill him without being noticed? "
"That's right, that's right. That's a very suspicious question." Let Go Of That Girl immediately agreed, "There must be something going on."
"I don't think the system said anything about killing someone without being noticed. You guys are thinking too much …" Carnivore felt that he should speak up for his boss, and voiced his disagreement.
"Which do you think is more attractive to you? Killing someone without being noticed or having an affair?" Even Pickled Pepper and Chicken Feet, who had always been quiet, joined in the discussion.
"I think that having an affair is more convincing than the truth." Blossom concluded in a serious tone, "Especially when the affair is the truth. It's even more tempting."
Gossips really do make people happy.
Ye Ci's lips twitched as she watched the shameless members of the guild discussing the matter, "I've decided to join a party from now on. I want to loot the corpses. "
The entire guild fell silent. Three seconds later, Timely Rain spoke up, "I have a sudden feeling that I should contact Absalom. I'm sure Absalom will welcome strong players when he's exploring a dungeon. Let's rent someone out to Genesis … "
"Ahhh! That's a great idea! That's a great idea!" The members of the guild responded enthusiastically, and the discussion about the affair became even more heated. They completely ignored Ye Ci's protests.
Ye Ci stared at the despicable players in the guild channel as she squatted in her cell. She had the urge to strangle them to death.
"Hey, Little Gongzi. Do you want something to eat? It's a specialty of Hero City. "The voice that Ye Ci did not want to hear the most spoke up just as she was about to lose her mind. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
