Pak!
The bottle of cold wine was smashed hard against Lawless's forehead. The bottle shattered on the spot, but the force of the impact caused Lawless to stagger.
"Are you awake now?
If not, I don't mind giving you another bottle! "
Rachel suddenly appeared in front of Lawless. She casually tossed away the rest of the bottle and looked up at Lawless.
Her face was hidden by the system, so no one could see her eyes clearly.
However, Lawless was not one of them.
The killing intent that had erupted like a volcano quickly disappeared.
"I'm sorry, Rachel!
I lost my composure! "
Lawless apologized sincerely.
Not only to Rachel, but to the other veterans as well.
"That bottle of wine is on me, but I'll compensate you for the rest!
I know you don't have any Points!
Keep it on your tab! "
Rachel said as she walked back to the bar counter and continued wiping the wine glasses in front of her.
Lawless's lips twitched when he saw Rachel's reaction.
In the end, he did not say anything.
There were some words that he could not say.
After a long sigh in his heart, Lawless turned around to Kieran, Hanses, and the other players. He apologized again.
"I'm sorry, everyone!
Just now … "
"What the hell happened?"
Before Lawless could even finish, Hanses interrupted him.
Kieran's eyes were also on Lawless.
It was the first time Kieran had seen Lawless like this ever since he had met him.
It was not something that could be explained by his emotions.
He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Especially Lawless' killing intent, which had caused a strange phenomenon, it had shocked Kieran even more.
How many times had he killed to accumulate such a strong killing intent?
Or rather, how much strength did he have to accumulate to be able to cause such a strong killing intent?
"The gap is huge!"
Kieran exclaimed in his heart after comparing himself to Lawless.
He had never thought that he was the only lucky one.
If he could open a special dungeon, so could Lawless and the other veterans.
Hans was the best example of this.
Although it was a punishment, Lawless's expression during the discussion was enough to prove that Lawless was no stranger to Special Dungeons.
Back in the [Prison on the Island] dungeon, Lawless had mentioned that this was his eighth dungeon run. That was just the normal dungeon world. If he included the special dungeon world …
"There should be at least 10 + times!"
"In fact, it has far exceeded my imagination!"
Kieran guessed in his heart, at the same time attentively listening to Lawless.
"The guy who was stalking us is online!"
However, he worked together with the assassin players and killed one of our men! "
"Coll is also heavily injured!"
"Moreover, he was taken away by them!"
Lawless said in a heavy tone as he showed everyone a screenshot.
In the picture, a skinny player covered in blood was suspended in the air. His limbs were twisted to varying degrees, and he was unconscious.
Kieran looked at the screenshot and raised his eyebrows.
He had met the player named Coll once before.
At Shameiken Square, the player had used a robot that looked like a puppy, and it had left an impression on Kieran.
"Who sent it?"
Kieran asked.
Judging from Coll's condition, Kieran was sure that he would not have sent the screenshot to Lawless for help.
"His ID is Night Owl."
"Does anyone have an impression of him?"
Lawless asked the crowd.
The veterans looked at each other or frowned, but in the end, none of them had any impression of the player.
As for Kieran?
As a half-newbie, it was impossible for him to know who the player was.
However, that did not stop him from doing what he could.
For example, carefully looking at the screenshot.
"The screenshot was taken from the point of view of the kidnapper, or rather, the player named Night Owl.
The room is bright, and the sunlight shines in. Based on the position of the sun, there should be a big window on the east side of the room.
The screenshot doesn't show the scenery outside, but with the sunlight, it's either a wide, flat land or a tall building that is not blocking the view.
There are no extra decorations in the room, but it's messy. There are wine bottles and cigarette butts on the floor … "
"Huh?"
Kieran squinted his eyes as he looked at the screenshot.
Among the many cigarette butts, a few of them had lipstick on them.
"A woman?"
Kieran was surprised.
Then, he observed the seemingly inconspicuous pile of garbage more carefully.
Almost immediately, he found more clues.
"Based on the shape of the wine bottle, it should be two different types of wine!"
Kieran guessed.
In order to be more precise, Kieran took the screenshot and walked over to Rachel.
"If this was the real world, I could tell you what kind of wine it is and how it was brewed, but this is an underground game!
You have no idea what's in it! "
Rachel said angrily after a quick glance at the screenshot.
"Fine!"
Kieran shrugged and walked towards Lawless when he didn't get an answer.
"I think we should go to the scene and have a look!
Maybe there are more clues there! "
Kieran suggested.
"Agreed!"
Hanses was the first to agree.
"Some of you stay here and contact the others. Keep looking for more information about the Night Owl!
The rest of you, follow me to the scene! "
Lawless said.
Everyone moved out right away.
Kieran naturally joined the group heading to the scene.
However, considering the fact that there might be traps and ambushes set up by the killer players, Lawless was the one who picked the rest of the candidates to go with him.
Although the veterans were the best of the best among lone wolves, they still had their strengths. Some were good at attacking, some were good at defending, and some were good at supporting.
Lawless picked three veteran players to go with him based on their preferences, including Hanses.
…
Kieran and the other four got off the train.
Raven, who was in charge of supporting and investigating, got to work.
"Meow meow!"
"Woof woof!"
The voice of a cat and a dog came from the other party's mouth.
A moment later, a dozen stray cats and dogs appeared around him.
When Raven took out a bunch of dog and cat food, the stray cats and dogs started to move.
Although Kieran had introduced himself on the train, when he saw the scene before his eyes, he was still shocked.
"Galen is a Chosen One!"
If it wasn't for his unsociable personality and eccentric personality, he would have been poached by the other guilds! "
Hanses explained to Kieran.
"A Chosen One?
That's amazing! "
Kieran said.
A Chosen One was a nickname for players who could use skills and equipment that required Spirit attribute.
Because of the [Half-dead's Gaze], Kieran had asked Lawless about it before.
However, this was the first time he had seen a Chosen One player with his own eyes.
After the stray cats and dogs left, birds appeared on the street.
After communicating with Raven, the birds also took their share of food and flew away.
Around 10 minutes later, the stray cats, dogs, and birds returned.
"Safe!"
Raven said.
His voice was a little hoarse, but it was not because of his voice.
It was because he did not speak often.
When Kieran thought about how Raven was eccentric, he understood what Hanses meant.
"I'll take the lead!"
Hanses said.
A shield as tall as a man appeared in his hand as he walked in front of the group.
Hanses was good at defense. Kieran knew that from the last dungeon.
However, because of the special characteristics of the last dungeon, this was the first time Kieran saw Hanses in his "shield" mode.
Ramont, who was good at attacking, stood on Hanses' left, Kieran on his right, Raven in the middle, and Lawless in the back.
The five of them moved forward in such a way.
Even though Raven had reported that it was safe, the five of them were still very careful.
They did not relax even when they reached the scene of the crime.
Hanses and Ramont were on guard while Kieran, Raven, and Lawless investigated the scene.
Due to the rules of the underground game, the bodies had already been refreshed.
However, there were still some traces left behind.
Like blood stains and signs of a fight.
They were in an alleyway.
Outside of the alleyway was the main road that Kieran and the others had come from.
Inside the alleyway was a narrow T-junction.
The killer player who had been tailing Kieran had logged off near the T-junction.
At that moment, on the opposite wall of the narrow alleyway that led to the main road, there was a big patch of blood stains. The blood was splattered all over the wall.
On the right side of the T-junction, there was a mark of someone being hit.
After Kieran scanned over the two marks, he activated his [Tracking].
Immediately, everything became clearer.
"The killer player suddenly came online here and attracted the attention of two surveillance players, one in the light and one in the dark. The two killer players hiding in the shadows immediately launched an attack."
The player who was in the light had his throat slit and was killed in one hit!
Coll was pressed on the back of his head and slammed into the wall in front of him!
After that, the three of them left calmly and erased all traces of their departure!
They were fast and stealthy. Other than the element of surprise and the corresponding skills, they also had great teamwork … "
"On top of that, their teamwork was so perfect that it was not as simple as just knowing each other in the game!
They must have communicated with each other in real life as well!
Otherwise, they couldn't have achieved such an effect! "
Kieran frowned when he came to the conclusion.
He knew what would happen if the killer players before him had connections in real life as well.
Not only would it be a few times harder to find out who the killer player was, but the killer player could also form a stronger cooperation and operation pattern.
"I wonder how many of the killer players know each other in real life?
"Is it because these people are special?"
Or …? "
Kieran frowned even harder.
"I found something!"
Raven suddenly said.
