Remnant Dream didn't fall to his death. He knew that Gu Fei was right behind him, so he didn't dare to return to the safe zone. He got up and ran.
"Make way! Make way! "Gu Fei shouted as he squeezed his way through the crowd.
The crowd was on Gu Fei's side, but at this moment, the crowd was already out of his control. Although he wanted to make way, 80% of the crowd was still squeezed out by Gu Fei.
With Gu Fei's meager strength, squeezing out of the crowd was more strenuous than fighting the seven Calabash Brothers. Behind him, Fiercely was still shouting, "Stop!". Gu Fei was annoyed to death by her. He tried his best not to turn around and stab her. It looked like she was helping him out of kindness, but Gu Fei guessed that she was just showing off. It was hard for him to have a good impression of her.
With great difficulty, Remnant Dream rushed out of the crowd. He was already 50 meters away. This was a distance that even Fireball couldn't reach. There was no way for Gu Fei to kill him, so he could only run as fast as he could.
Although Remnant Dream was only level 24, as a Thief, he had an advantage in Agility compared to Gu Fei. At this moment, he was holding Frostbite's Memories, which gave him 25 Agility. Coupled with the 14% movement speed buff from Shadow Boots, his speed wasn't slow at all. However, the movement speed in the game was accurate. After chasing for a while, Gu Fei discovered that his speed was still slightly faster than Remnant Dream's. The distance between the two was gradually shrinking.
Remnant Dream looked back as he ran. Seeing that Gu Fei was getting closer and closer, he became even more flustered. He wanted to ask for help from his companions, but he didn't dare to send a message while running at full speed. It was like reading a book while running. If he didn't fall, he would hit a tree. This time, Remnant Dream didn't want to die no matter what. He was currently level 24. If he lost another level, he would lose Stealth.
Stealth was undoubtedly a Thief's specialty. It was a skill that reflected their strengths. Any Thief would spend a lot of time training this skill. Remnant Dream's death was no exception. When she thought about how she would lose all the effort she had put into sneaking around, her heart trembled.
Unable to find the time to send a message, Remnant Dream could only use the most primitive method, running while shouting, "Save me! I'm here!!! " He hoped that his companions, who were nearby, could hear his cry for help, but he was quickly met with disdainful looks from the surrounding players.
PvP happened every day, but to be scared by PvP and call for help was a disgrace to the game.
The two continued to speed up the speed of life and death. In the blink of an eye, they were already at the intersection of the street. Remnant Dream chose to turn without hesitation. This situation was obviously very disadvantageous to Gu Fei. After turning a corner, he changed his appearance and blended into the crowd. It wasn't easy to find him. Coincidentally, there were many players passing through the streets near the safe zone. Everything seemed to be developing in Remnant Dream's favor.
As expected, by the time Gu Fei reached the intersection and turned, the running figure had already disappeared from his sight. Among the players walking back and forth, who knew who Remnant Dream had died to?
Gu Fei carefully walked on the street and looked left and right at the players, but he still couldn't find him.
Gu Fei helplessly sent a message to his companions in the mercenary group. "Sorry, he probably ran away!"
"What happened?"
"I was careless and let him run out of the safe zone." Gu Fei said.
"It's okay. If you recognize him, you'll have a chance in the future."
"I can't get back Frostbite's Memories! Just a little bit more! "Gu Fei was extremely depressed. Originally, he knew that it wouldn't be easy to get back Frostbite's Memories, but just now, the opportunity was right in front of him, almost within reach. But …
"Hey!" Just as he was thinking, someone beside him shouted for Gu Fei.
Gu Fei turned around and saw that it was Fiercely who had also chased over. He immediately went forward and grabbed her collar. "Why are you still following me?"
"What? Let me go!! "With Fiercely's temper, she wouldn't be so easily frightened by Gu Fei.
The surrounding players began to stop and watch. Gu Fei also thought that the other party was a girl and his actions seemed a bit too bold. Thus, he let go of her hand and angrily said, "Don't follow me anymore."
"What! I'm helping you! "Fiercely said.
"Didn't you see that you threw him away?" Gu Fei roared.
"If I didn't throw him away, he would've stabbed you. You're just a small Mage, so wouldn't you be instantly killed?" Fiercely said confidently.
"Do you have cancer in your eyes? Didn't you see that I already dodged? "Gu Fei said.
"Don't brag!" Fiercely curled her lips. A normal person wouldn't be able to see that Gu Fei had already dodged. Apart from Remnant Dream himself, no one would know that his Backstab had already been used up. Bystanders would think that his Backstab was still in progress. Fiercely thought that he had appeared just in time. Otherwise, Gu Fei would've been stabbed.
There was no way to explain this and Gu Fei was too lazy to explain. He coldly said, "Anyways, just don't follow me."
"You're being unreasonable!" Fiercely yelled.
"If I was being unreasonable, I would've already hacked you to death." Gu Fei said.
"Alright, come at me!" Fiercely took the initiative to attack. He waved his hand and sent a fist smashing over.
Gu Fei slightly raised his hand. His palm moved to the side and the power of the fist was sent in another direction. With a hook of his foot, Fiercely unhesitatingly threw himself on the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Not everyone will give in to you girls." Gu Fei coldly said, "Don't get in my way anymore." With that said, he turned around and walked away.
Fiercely was finally scared this time. He flipped over and sat on the ground in a daze.
He had casually thrown himself on the ground. This was definitely not a skill or technique in the game. Fiercely, who also had some foundation in Kung Fu, knew better than others what was going on. This guy knew Kung Fu … Moreover, he didn't know how many times stronger he was. He was a person who truly knew Kung Fu.
Gu Fei, who had left Fiercely behind, walked the entire street. He still couldn't see Remnant Dream's figure. He could only sigh deeply. Then he sent a message to the guys in the mercenary group, "We can't catch up. Which city gate mailbox are you guys hiding at? I'll go guard one too. "
"There's no one guarding the west gate. You go!"
"Okay!" Gu Fei closed the chat channel and looked up to identify the direction. Then he saw a girl waving at him from the side of the street. She had a faint smile on her face.
Xi Xiaotian.
"I'm in a hurry. I can't talk to you now." Gu Fei waved at her as a greeting. Then he buried his head and prepared to continue on his way.
"Don't rush!" Xi Xiaotian ran over to stop Gu Fei.
"I'm really in a hurry!" Gu Fei said.
Xi Xiaotian smiled and pointed at Fiercely, who was still sitting on the ground. "That's too much!"
Gu Fei glanced back and said, "I hope you held back. Otherwise, if I twist her head off, what else can you use to describe me? "
"Is it that serious?"
"I'll tell you when I have time. I really have something to do right now." Gu Fei walked around Xi Xiaotian and quickly ran.
Xi Xiaotian didn't let him go. She turned around and chased after him.
"What?" Gu Fei asked.
"You run and I run. Why do you care?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"You run pretty fast." Gu Fei said. There were very few people in the game who put all their points into Dexterity. Sometimes, even Thieves or Archers might not be faster than Gu Fei.
"I also put all my points into Dexterity. Plus, I have the advantage of my profession." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh … What's your profession?" Gu Fei asked. He still didn't know Xi Xiaotian's profession. This girl's profession couldn't be determined from her clothing. For example, when they first met, she was wearing a purple robe. Gu Fei already knew that it was a robe worn by Priests. At this moment, she was wearing a Thief's cloak.
"Archer." Xi Xiaotian's answer was completely different from her equipment.
A full Dexterity Archer obviously wouldn't be slower than Gu Fei. This was the profession with the greatest advantage in Dexterity.
Gu Fei nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Go kill someone!" Xi Xiaotian tried to talk to him.
"I hope so …" Gu Fei said. Indeed, he hoped that Remnant Dream would die at West Gate's mailbox.
Without another word, Gu Fei ran all the way to West Gate with Xi Xiaotian following him. Gu Fei looked at her strangely, but she pretended not to see it.
Seeing that Remnant Dream didn't die at West Gate's mailbox, Gu Fei let out a sigh of relief. He had already rushed here at full speed. If Remnant Dream came here from that place, she probably wouldn't be faster than him.
Gu Fei retreated to the side of the street. If Remnant Dream saw him from afar, she naturally wouldn't come over. Gu Fei hid in a corner and looked at the mailbox. Suddenly, he smacked his head.
He was so stupid! He kept thinking that if Remnant Dream had Frostbite's Memory in his hands, why didn't she just wait for him to mail it? If he wanted to mail it, he obviously had to put Frostbite's Memory in his hands. It was enough for him to snatch it.
At this moment, Gu Fei was extremely annoyed at the fact that he kicked Remnant Dream out of the mailbox. He didn't think that he would lose a great opportunity to snatch back Frostbite's Memory not just once, but twice.
This method wasn't going to work so well now. At that time, Remnant Dream could let Gu Fei be by her side, and he was very polite and friendly. Now, when Gu Fei was still fifty meters away from him, he was already shouting for help. It was almost impossible to snatch back Frostbite's Memory while he was sending it.
Gu Fei was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"Why do you suddenly look so regretful?" Xi Xiaotian asked him.
"I'm so stupid, really!" Gu Fei said.
"I agree." Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei looked up to the sky and sighed. In the end, he asked Xi Xiaotian, "What do you want to do by following me here? If you want to help me, I have to make some rules with you, so that you don't make the same mistake as Fiercely. "
"Who wants to help you? I'm just here to mail something." Xi Xiaotian said coldly and walked towards the mailbox.
Gu Fei glanced at her listlessly and didn't pay attention to her anymore. Xi Xiaotian arrived in front of the mailbox and looked back. Gu Fei was focused on a few nearby intersections. Xi Xiaotian smiled and took something out of his pocket. He knocked on the mailbox a few times and said, "I'm going to send something!"
"Send it then. Why are you shouting?" Gu Fei glanced at her, and his eyes suddenly lit up. In Xi Xiaotian's hand was a dagger that emitted alternating blue and white light. Even if Gu Fei didn't know appraisal, he could tell what it was at a glance. He instantly rushed over and grabbed Xi Xiaotian's wrist.
"How did you get this?" Gu Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"What do you think?" Xi Xiaotian smiled like a flower.
Gu Fei didn't say anything. When he chased after Remnant Dream and died, Frostbite's Memory was in his hands. Naturally, Xi Xiaotian got it when he turned the corner and she greeted him.
"Actually, your initial guess wasn't wrong. I'm indeed with them," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei's expression changed.
"But you have another idea that needs to be added. I'm with them, and I have an ulterior motive, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"You're with them, gain their trust, and then cheat them of top-quality equipment?" Gu Fei asked.
"You could say it's a double-cross," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei smiled. When he saw that Xi Xiaotian's wrist was still in his hand, he quickly let go.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll mail it?" Xi Xiaotian shook Frostbite's Memory again.
"Then you don't have to let me see it," Gu Fei said.
"I let you see it, but I didn't say I would return it to you," Xi Xiaotian said.
"…"
"Besides, it's not yours, and I didn't cheat it from your friends," Xi Xiaotian said.
"…"
"How is it? You have nothing to say?" Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei really had nothing to say. Xi Xiaotian was already a third party who handled Frostbite's Memory. Remnant Dream and the others' despicable act of stealing equipment from Sword Demon was not something that Xi Xiaotian had to bear. Although, she probably didn't use any legitimate means. But in other words, if she used legitimate means to buy Frostbite's Memory from Remnant Dream, how should she deal with it now?
If this was in real life, you could say that Frostbite's Memory was stolen property, and any transactions related to it weren't protected by the law. But in the game, at this moment, Gu Fei really had nothing to say.
"Hahaha, so there are times when you have nothing to say," Xi Xiaotian said proudly. He waved his hand and handed over Frostbite's Memory, "I'll give it back to you!"
"Oh? You're so kind? "Gu Fei took it and looked at it carefully, confirming that it wasn't a fake.
"Because that guy is your friend," Xi Xiaotian said.
"My face is really big." Gu Fei laughed.
"At least I don't hate him," Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei laughed.
"Also, it felt really good when you knocked over Fiercely. I don't like that girl either," Xi Xiaotian said.
"If you said that earlier, I would've twisted her head off." Gu Fei's depression had already been swept away, and his mood was better than ever. In his heart, he didn't hate Fiercely as much anymore. He was just playing along with Xi Xiaotian's intentions.
"Speaking of which, how did you get it?" Gu Fei asked.
"I tricked it into coming back." Xi Xiaotian emphasized the word "tricked", "I don't think you're interested in the process."
"Or, can you tell me?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's very simple. I said before that I'm already in this organization. Even though I'm not an important member, I can use certain methods to make people think that I'm an important member." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Certain methods?" Gu Fei repeated.
Xi Xiaotian looked at him: "Tell me that your thoughts right now are pure."
"Uh, actually, I don't have any thoughts at all. It's just a question." Gu Fei said.
"Certain methods, such as a fox assuming the tiger's might. You can think about it yourself! "Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded: "I probably know."
"Then, it's your role. Your pursuit has put a lot of pressure on him, but from the beginning to the end, he never understood why you wanted to kill him. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"We deliberately hid it from him. Otherwise, he would definitely transfer Frostbite's memory." Gu Fei said.
"So, I told him." Xi Xiaotian smiled.
Gu Fei suddenly understood: "So, he gave Frostbite's memory to you?"
"It's simple, isn't it?"
"It's very simple in theory, but the difficulty is to gain his trust, right?" Gu Fei said.
"When he's in a critical situation, I help him solve a problem. His trust in me will naturally increase. This is human inertia. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"What did you help him solve?"
"You didn't catch him, did you?" Xi Xiaotian smiled.
"You hid him?" Gu Fei suddenly understood.
"I just reminded him that he's a thief and should know how to sneak." Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei nodded. On that street, Gu Fei and Fiercely had an argument, which attracted a lot of attention. Especially when Gu Fei cruelly knocked over a beautiful girl, it was even more eye-catching. In this kind of situation, Gu Fei was being watched by too many people. It was simply impossible to pick out the stealthed Remnant Dream from among them.
"Now you understand, right?" Xi Xiaotian said, "What else do you want to say?"
"Thanks." Gu Fei said.
"No need to thank me." Xi Xiaotian smiled faintly, "There will be times when you hate me."
"Is that so?"
"Yes!" Xi Xiaotian nodded.
