The Ninth World of Holographic Online Games
Chapter 37 The Mysterious Murder
"drive--!"
A big bay red horse galloped past the path, which caught people off guard.
The herbal picker who had just come down from the mountain hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid it, but was still swept by the air current of the horse leaping past, swayed and fell to the ground.
"Damn it! You're amazing on a horse! Be careful, I'll tell you to drive too fast!" Looking at the fallen medicinal herbs distressedly, the herbal picker picked them up and cursed a few words. "Tch, the same is true for game companies. Even in ancient times, they should have sidewalks and traffic lights in this kind of area. They don't pay attention to pedestrian safety at all."
He was lamenting today's bad luck. Several fragile herbs were damaged because they fell to the ground, and most of their medicinal properties might be lost.Suddenly feeling a shadow above his head, he looked up in doubt.
It was the horseman who had just returned and looked at him coldly.
"You..." The herbal picker just asked, only to see a flash of silver light, and a tearing pain in his throat.
In the next second, he appeared in the underworld where he was reincarnated.
After standing there for a long time, the medicine collector realized that he had been killed.I hurriedly checked my character column, and sure enough, I saw that all the level skills were cleared, and the most distressing thing was that the herbs and medicines that were about to be upgraded to the pharmacist level were also completely cleared!
I rely on, as for what?Didn't you just say something to him? !The more I think about it, the more I feel angry, the fire of anger in my heart is burning!The herbal picker gritted his teeth and turned to the forum.
During this period, there were a lot of angry complaints posted on the forum, and many players made posts to redress their grievances and complained, claiming that they were killed for no reason.Instant level clearing is by no means a tolerable loss for players who have gradually entered the game on the right track.
With the frequent appearance of such posts, players who follow the forums have discovered that this kind of inexplicable killing incidents suddenly showed an upward trend, and they were intensively concentrated in the last two days.And all the incidents took place near the headquarters of the Eight Martial Arts Schools.
Some people couldn't help but wonder whether these sudden murders were caused by the Ninefold Sect?After all, the Eight Great Sects also lost many disciples in this vision, except for the Tianshan Sect because of its remote location.
The Ninefold Sect is a demon sect recognized by everyone. Since this incident, calls for crusade against the Ninefold Sect have become louder and louder, gradually forming a cohesive trend of crusade.
When Ye Wuzhui and Lihuo got the news from the forum, a Justice League formed spontaneously by players had already reached a small scale. This organization aims to destroy the Demon Sect and is recruiting disciples from various sects.
Justice League?Ye Wuzhui looked at these words playfully, and turned his gaze to Lihuo who was on the side.
"What do you think?"
"A mob." Li Huo smiled. "At this stage, the player's ability alone can't do much. If the eight sects join forces, it's worth being afraid."
The implication is that the Justice League formed by these players is not taken seriously by the Ninefold Sect, or in other words, he does not take these players seriously by Lihuo.
Although this may sound arrogant, it is also true.
"Then you're not curious, who are those people who blamed Jiuzhongjiao behind their backs, and what's their purpose?" Ye Wuzhui asked again.
Unlike most people, he didn't think these sudden killings were done by the Ninefold Sect.The Jiuzhongjiao did conspire against the Central Plains, but it would not be so stupid as to arouse public outrage.After all, the headquarters of Jiuzhongjiao is in the Western Regions, so it will be more or less restrained in the Central Plains.
However, in the killing incidents in the past few days, most of the players were killed for some minor reasons, or for no reason at all.
Even for Jiuzhong, who is famous for bloodthirsty, Ye Wuzhui didn't think they would do such an unreasonable thing.
Li Huo glanced at him unexpectedly, then said. "No matter who they are, their purpose must be targeting us. It's just that most people are stupid and easy to manipulate, which makes them so easy to succeed."
The "we" in his mouth refers to the Ninefold Sect. As the young leader, Li Huo still has a sense of belonging.And he kept saying that most of the players were stupid, and he was worthy of Lihuo's arrogant name.
Ye Wuzhui glanced at him helplessly. "If you hadn't acted arrogantly on weekdays, they wouldn't think so."
Li Huo snorted softly. "As long as people who refute their positions, they will blindly assign various crimes according to their own ideas. This is what a decent family is like, self-proclaimed and ignorant. They only know to rely on the reputation built by their predecessors to arrogate themselves."
Hearing the strong sense of sarcasm in his mouth, Ye Wuzhui finally understood why No. 1 would rather abandon the Central Plains martial arts and join the Western Region Demon Cult.
Presumably, Li Huo had a natural disdain for the old power in his bones.Such people are often very suitable to be the pioneers of a new era.
"Have you thought about which group of people are planting the blame?"
"Not sure yet." Li Huo frowned. "The Ninefold Sect has made too many enemies, and I can't find out all of them for the time being. But I can guess one or two reasons why those people are so aggressive."
"Oh?" Ye Wuzhui raised his eyebrows.
"Just wait and see." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it made the young leader look even more indifferent. "Soon, there will be a bloodbath in the Jianghu."
Muran frowned when he thought about it, Ye Wuzhui looked surprised. "Could it be that blaming Jiuzhongjiao now is just a trick used by the people behind the scenes to divert their attention?"
"We'll know when the time comes." Li Huo said with a nonchalant expression on his face.
The two traveled all the way, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they changed several means of transportation.First, they left the Northland by land, and then headed south all the way, during which they sailed for more than half of the distance by water.
In the end, the two chose to ride on horseback.Because this is the most agile route, and it will not be easily traced by people.
Along the way, being so cautious was not only for Ye Wuzhui to avoid the killer of the Ninefold Sect, but also for Li Huo to get rid of the Ninefold Sect's secret sentinel.These secret whistles have been secretly following behind the young leader since he left the head teacher, and they are the direct line of the leader.
Although when he was in Hidden Sword Villa, Li Huo had escaped their surveillance.But just in case, the young master still sneaked all the way to avoid being exposed.
When Ye Wuzhui curiously asked him why he was avoiding the people from the Jiuzhong Sect, Li Huo just said "I don't want them to know to find a famous knife" and sent him away.Ye Wuzhui couldn't ask any further questions, it was his secret after all.
This journey also took half a month.When the two finally felt the town of Heluo, the murders had intensified, and the crusade against the Ninefold Sect on the forum was also one after another.
In response to this, the Young Master, with an indifferent expression on his face, followed Ye Wuzhui into Heluo Town.
"Why are there so many people?" As soon as he entered the town, Ye Wuzhui realized something was wrong.
The last time he and Hao Meng Wuhua came here, the town was still dominated by NPCs, although there were some players, but only a very small number.
But now, looking at the flow of people on the street, you can tell that half of these extra people are players, and most of them are disciples of the Eight Sects.Of course, it is not ruled out that other forces are also involved.
Because he was caught by the six doors, before entering the town, Ye Wuzhui also changed his appearance.So don't worry about being recognized.
"I'm afraid they all came here for one person." Looking at Ye Wuzhui, Li Huo said thoughtfully.
Both thought of the same reason.Heluo Town is just an ordinary town, so naturally it won't attract so many people.And there is only one reason for this weird situation, and that is the master of the dense forest outside the town—the famous knife.
Although the famous knife lived in seclusion back then, the place where he lived in seclusion was known all over the world.Yinguilin got its name from this.
Inexplicably a little irritable in my heart, Ye Wuzhui's internal strength has fully recovered in the past half month, and he is no longer as easy to be manipulated by his heart fire as before.After restraining his inner irritability, he nodded slightly to Li Huo.
"Now that there are so many people, I can't go to see Master for the time being, and I can't go to an ordinary inn to stay."
Li Huo didn't speak, he knew that since Ye Wuzhui said this, he already had a way out.
Sure enough, the swordsman in Tsing Yi signaled him to follow closely, and the two walked towards the largest street in the middle of the town.
Taverns, teahouses, inns, shops.The two seemed to be strolling by, but with a little attention, one could see that Ye Wuzhui had carefully looked at the signboards of each house along the way.And it wasn't until he was about to reach the end of the street that he stopped at the door of an unremarkable rice shop.
Ye Wu took a few glances at the yellowed flags of the rice shop, and walked in.
This shop is extremely simple, except for some grain bags scattered on the ground, there are no other items, it really doesn't look like a shop.Even the shopkeeper didn't bother to raise his head when he saw a customer coming in.
Ye Wuzhui didn't mind, he walked straight to the boy, and asked without waiting for the boy to speak.
"Do you sell soybeans in your store?"
Hearing his question, the guy looked up lazily. "Only sell rice, not beans."
"How many kinds of rice are there?"
"What kind does the customer want?"
"Soybean-flavored rice."
If it was an ordinary guy, he would have kicked out this deliberately difficult guest long ago.How can there be soybean-flavored rice in the world?Isn't this bullshit?
But the boy in front of him suddenly looked at Ye Wuzhui, and at the same time, he shook the copper bell in front of the cabinet.
After a while, a dressed-up person came out from the inner room.When he saw that there were two people, he was a little puzzled at first, but he still asked.
"I don't know which deacon it is from the family?"
"Seven words." This is Ye Wuchai's pseudonym outside.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, the look of the manager suddenly became respectful, and he made a big gift to Ye Wuzhui.
"So it's the Sixth Young Master! I was the one who neglected it, and it's not convenient to discuss outside, so please follow me."
As he spoke, he bowed again, pushed aside the curtain of the back room, and led the two of them in.
six little?Li Huo raised his eyebrows slightly interested.He didn't know when Ye Wuzhui had such an identity.
A big bay red horse galloped past the path, which caught people off guard.
The herbal picker who had just come down from the mountain hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid it, but was still swept by the air current of the horse leaping past, swayed and fell to the ground.
