Apart from Ling Chen, the Moonlight Flare completely blocked everyone else's vision. As such, within the Moonlight Flare, no one would know what kind of equipment Ling Chen was wearing, nor would they know where he was. At a glance, the ground was littered with the corpses of Japanese players, and he was surrounded by strangers. Who knew who Ling Tian was, or if he was right next to him?
Before the Japanese players could even begin to riot, a large group of Sunrise City's City Guards suddenly descended from the sky, instantly restraining 100 or so Japanese players. The leader yelled, "Not only are you fighting in the city, but you've also killed people. According to the East Ocean Continent's laws, all of you are to be locked up for 24 hours!"
Ling Tian was a foreign player, so he wasn't bound by the East Ocean Continent's laws. As long as he didn't offend any of the East Ocean Continent's NPCs or destroy public facilities, he wouldn't be punished. Japanese players attacking him in the city was also not bound by the laws. However, Japanese players attacking Japanese players didn't fall under this category. Just then, within the Moonlight Flare, the Japanese players had been killing each other with their eyes closed. Those who were killed were fine, but those who were still alive would be punished by the East Ocean Continent's laws, and would be locked up for 24 hours. What's more, these 24 hours weren't calculated by natural time, but by the time the players were online. In other words, these players would only be able to come out after 24 hours! Of course, if they were willing to pay the fine, that would be a different story. However, the amount of the fine wasn't something that ordinary players could afford.
Just like that, a large number of Japanese players were taken away, and the Japanese players in the central square could only watch on … right now, the most important thing was … where was Ling Tian? All of Japan's dignity had been completely trampled on by Ling Tian. If he escaped, they would never be able to raise their heads in front of Hua Xia's players again, and they would become the laughingstock of the entire world.
"All of you, reveal your names and take off your masks!!"
The crowd roared, and soon, the roars became louder and louder. Revealing their names and taking off their masks would indeed make it impossible for Ling Tian to hide … but the prerequisite was that all of the Japanese players would take off their masks and reveal their names. However, this did not seem very realistic. In the virtual game world, most players would hide their nicknames, and more than half of them would wear masks when traveling. Protecting one's privacy was something that everyone instinctively wanted to do, especially for those with special secrets, identities, or experiences. As such, even in this sort of situation, there were many players who didn't want to take off their masks and reveal their names … of course, most players still took off their masks and revealed their names. As such …
"He did not take off his mask!! Even his name has been hidden. He must be Ling Tian!! "
"Hey! If you don't reveal your name … Ahhh!! You must be Ling Tian!! Ling Tian is here! "
"There's a nameless one here! His figure was very similar to Ling Tian's … Ah!! He was Ling Tian! Come quickly, Ling Tian is here. "
"Ling Tian is here!! Surround him! Don't let him escape! "
"We found Ling Tian! This person still refuses to take off his mask, and is hiding his name! "
All of a sudden, shouts of "We found Ling Tian" and "Ling Tian is here" sounded out from every corner of the Sunrise City's Central Square. The players who were unwilling to take off their masks and reveal their names were all surrounded by the Japanese players … but soon, their heads began to hurt. There were people everywhere – which one was Ling Tian?!
"Goddammit!! Kill all of these people who refuse to reveal their names or take off their masks! Even if we kill the wrong person, we definitely can't let Ling Tian escape! "
These shouts greatly enraged the Japanese players, who hated Ling Tian to their bones. They roared and rushed towards' Ling Tian 'with their weapons, not giving them any chance to argue or express themselves. Immediately, the sounds of battle could be heard. Under the attacks of the Japanese players, thousands of nameless players were killed in the blink of an eye. They would rather kill a thousand innocent players than let Ling Tian escape. This showed just how much they hated Ling Tian … as well as how much they feared him.
Amidst the cries, countless Japanese players' corpses littered the Central Square. Although they immediately revived at the Central Square's revival point, they had to suffer the cruel punishment of losing levels. The City Guards, who had just left, once again descended from the sky and took control of all of the Japanese players who had participated in the attack, sending them to the Sunrise City's prison to be punished.
However, even though so many of them had died … they were all Japanese players. There was no trace of Ling Tian at all! If it was Ling Tian, it would have been impossible to kill him so easily.
"Everyone, don't panic!! Ling Tian definitely couldn't have gone far! He's definitely hiding in the crowd nearby! Everyone, continue to look for people who haven't revealed their names or are wearing masks! If you find him, immediately attack! No matter what price we have to pay, we have to force him out! Also, if you don't want to die in vain, reveal your names!! Otherwise, don't blame us if you die!! "
The person who had yelled was called Yamamoto Michio. His name wasn't on the Japanese Expert Rankings, but his fame in the virtual world was second only to Yamazaki Jinichi. This was because he was the leader of Japan's largest guild, the 'Unsetting Sun'! In Japan's virtual world, they had extremely high prestige and authority.
After Ling Tian disappeared, the Sunrise City's Central Square was thrown into chaos. The Japanese players were all filled with anger and humiliation, and all of them warily looked at the people around them. If they found anyone who was hiding their names or wearing masks, they would immediately rush up and kill them … however, no one had discovered Ling Tian. In the end, the Japanese players fell one by one, and even more were taken away by the City Guards.
They knew that this would happen, but they had no other choice. Moreover, now that things had come to this, they had lost far too much, so they couldn't retreat! They had lost all of their face, and no matter what price they had to pay, they had to find Ling Tian and tear him to shreds.
All of this was being broadcasted live by the media all over the world, and the players all over the world watched with great interest … what could be more exciting than this? As for Hua Xia's players, seeing the chaos and killing of the Japanese players, they were all incredibly delighted … however, they were deeply worried that Ling Tian would be found. With such a large and dense encirclement, it would be impossible for Ling Tian to get far. If he tried to break out, he would immediately be discovered. Just as the Japanese players had confirmed, he was hiding among the Japanese players, and he was at the center of the crowd.
If he was found, and these people swarmed him … they would be able to bury him alive.
Of course, everyone seemed to have forgotten something … was Ling Tian really still in the game?
Ling Tian reclined on the sofa at home, munching on melon seeds. He squinted his eyes and looked at the screen with a smile. When it came to the most exciting part, he would laugh out loud.
That's right! While the Japanese players were doing everything they could to find him … he was no longer in the game. After the Moon Flare's effect lasted for four seconds, he had quickly shaken off all of the Japanese players' aggro and logged off. Of course, with the Moon Flare active, it was impossible for anyone to see that he had logged off.
After logging off, everything had developed as he had expected. Everything that he had done before had caused the Japanese players to be incredibly furious. As such, it wasn't hard to guess how they would react after discovering that he had disappeared. As such, they guessed that Ling Tian was' hiding nearby ', and started to search for him. They then madly attacked the masked players who didn't reveal their names. The more innocent people they killed, the more they couldn't find Ling Tian, and the more frustrated they became, the more they wouldn't stop … However, they didn't know that they were playing the role of pitiful clowns, and Ling Tian, who they were desperately searching for, was actually watching their comical performance with relish.
5 minutes passed … 10 minutes passed … 15 minutes passed …
More and more Japanese players were killed, and more than 10,000 players had been taken away by the City Guards. Today was the busiest day in the Sunrise City's Prison. However, Ling Tian was still nowhere to be found. The Japanese players' hearts finally began to waver … they started to think that perhaps Ling Tian wasn't even here anymore. However, even though they thought this, they couldn't admit it. Otherwise, all of their previous actions would have been the biggest joke in the world!
Yamamoto Michio's scalp went numb, and he increasingly felt that Ling Tian wasn't even here anymore. Otherwise, how could they not have found him after such a long time? If he really wasn't here, then they had killed so many of their own people for nothing, and so many players had been punished for nothing … while Ling Tian, as well as the rest of the world's players, were watching them like they were a joke.
Yamamoto Michio, who was so furious that he felt like he was going to suffer internal injuries, roared, "Ling Tian!! Get the hell out here if you've got the guts!! Are you Hua Xia people all a bunch of cowards?! "
"Ling Tian!! Get the hell out here if you've got the guts!! "
"Get the hell out here!!"
Yamamoto Michio yelled 3 times, but there was no response. Yamamoto Michio's face twitched as he waved his hand, "Let's go!!"
He was now sure that Ling Tian wasn't here, but he definitely couldn't say such a thing. Otherwise, his actions from before would become the biggest joke in the eyes of the world's players. Following Yamamoto Michio's orders, the Unsetting Sun's players gathered together and prepared to leave with him. Yamamoto Michio's name signaled to the other Japanese players that they should all leave.
At this moment, Ling Chen, who had just finished watching a spectacular show, jumped up from the sofa with a 'whoosh' and slowly walked back to his bedroom.
In the 15 minutes before, all of the Japanese players had been incredibly sullen, and their anger had long since dissipated. Seeing Yamamoto Michio leave with the Unsetting Sun, they felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. However, just as they were about to leave, Ling Chen logged on.
However, no one saw that Ling Chen had logged on … because as soon as he appeared in the Mystic Moon world, he activated 'Moon Flare'. The Nightmare Light that the Japanese players had just experienced was once again released, causing many of the Japanese players to roar in shock and fear. Following this, there were many cries of pain, as well as Ling Chen's wild laughter.
"Hahahaha!! You bunch of fools, idiots, good-for-nothings! I was right under your noses, but you couldn't find me with so many people, hahahaha! Do you Japanese people's eyes grow on your butts? Hahahaha!! "
His wild laughter and words were heard by all of the Japanese players, and they spread to every corner of the world. After the light disappeared, there were tens of corpses on the ground … but there was no sign of Ling Tian.
"Wuaaahhhhh!!!"
Yamamoto Michio was like an enraged beast as he hoarsely roared, "Find him!! Find him immediately!! Those with masks, those who don't reveal their names … and those who look like Ling Tian, kill them all! Kill!! Kill!!!! "
Ling Chen's appearance and his vicious mockery caused the Japanese players' anger, grievance, and humiliation to turn into a frenzy of killing Ling Tian. The square, which had just calmed down, once again descended into chaos.
By now, Ling Tian had appeared in his own living room, resting his chin on his hand and crossing his legs as he happily watched the live broadcast from Japan …
