Wow! The explosion rate is really high

As the two strange figures went deeper, the long street returned to that deathly silence.

There was silence in the depths of the long street that swallowed up all the residents, the trio's car, and the two strange figures, like a monster crawling in the darkness, easily swallowing up the darkness as well.

Gilder looked along the end of the dark long street, trying hard to open his old eyes to see through the curtain of night and discover the truth of the matter...

The underground of Long Street is far from as quiet as it seems on the surface.

"Tell me! Do you want to do something for our boss?"

"Do it! Do it! I already told you that I'm going to do something for our boss! Stop hitting me..." The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He just hugged the other person's thigh and couldn't stop wailing.

"You've been beating me for a long time! I said I'm willing to do things for the boss, don't you understand? I'm going to do it! Tell me what you want me to do! I'll do it right now!"

However, the man who asked the question did not dare to respond. He just turned his head cautiously and looked behind him with the same trembling body. The man half lying on the peeling red-brown sofa there was the one who could really decide everyone's fate.

Wallis laughed in a low voice, as if his throat was full of phlegm.

Half lying on the sofa, he stared sideways at the two parties who were being "tortured". Although he was smiling, there was no smile on his face, only endless coldness.

Beneath the coldness was a deep rage brewing beneath the surface of the ocean.

The protruding mechanical prosthetic eye flashed a dazzling red light, as if blood was flowing under his feet.

The boss is angry...

The little brother was guided by silent instructions.

The young man who asked the question held a whip in his hand, turned around and slapped the fallen man on the face with another whip.

"You are insincere! Let you be insincere! You are not willing to do things for our boss at all!"

"Pah! Pah!"

One whip after another…

"I do...I do..."

The space spread, and the entire empty underground space was filled with the sound of whips hitting the flesh.

"Tell me! Why don't you do something for our boss?"

"Let you have a tough mouth! Let you have a tough mouth!"

The orange warm light was swaying around, and the messy beating sounds turned into a crazy piece of music for a while.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Wallis, who was half lying on the sofa, suddenly covered his forehead and laughed uncontrollably.

not a single one!

not a single one!

Not only are the people who were lured here unwilling to do things for him, but even his original subordinates are also unwilling to do things for him.

Not willing!

Not even willing!

all fake!

Even his closest confidants who have been with him for the longest time have never truly followed him!

They just surrender to their own power! Surrender to your own power! Surrender to your own cruelty!

But the one who surrenders is never himself!

It's all fake!

Only those bounty hunters!

Those weird bounty hunters! They are the ones who really do things for themselves.

As long as they are given a certain amount of remuneration, they can work wholeheartedly for themselves and work hard without any complaints.

Even the benefits I get from them are far greater than what I pay for them!

Why? Why can't everyone in the world be like this?

Only them...only them...

Thank God for giving me these eyes that can see through illusions.

After living for so many years, I finally discovered what I should pursue.

Only for an occasional moment did Wallis feel a voice of "regret" in his heart that expressed doubts——

Do I really deserve everything I have gained now?

This power fills the palms of your hands...

This power that thousands of people surrender to...

This insight into people’s hearts…

Shouldn't I be so greedy back then?

Even the bounty hunters who work for him find ways to harvest their wealth in the name of bracelets...

Why did they agree?

Wallis lowered his head suddenly, going from laughing wildly to freezing in just a moment.

The weak voice that sounded in my heart lasted for less than a breath.

Facts have proved that everything I am now is right!

These people around me...are all traitors!

"Click, click, click, click~"

Strange sounds suddenly approached from a distance. Wallis, whose ears were now extremely sensitive, moved his ears lightly and heard the unexpected movement immediately.

outsider?

Or are those bounty hunters back?

The loose skin on both sides of his lower lip formed a fold, and Wallis suddenly felt happy.

Not long after, some men who were guarding the ground outside hurried in.

"Boss! Boss! It's those bounty hunters! They're back with what you want!"

"Oh~" A sincere smile finally appeared on Wallis's face, "Bring them in quickly!"

"yes!"

…

The five people who walked into the underground hall frowned visibly.

In fact, while waiting in the room on the ground, they had already heard the noisy sounds mixed with wailing coming from the underground. But when they came underground in person, they discovered that things might be more cruel than they imagined.

As far as the eye can see, this empty hall that was originally filled with all kinds of debris is now full of human figures in the corners.

Standing...lying...

Visible large beads of sweat fell down from the face drop by drop... Not only those lying on the ground whining, but also the foreheads of the thugs wielding whips were covered with sweat.

Everyone was wet, as if they had been fished out of water.

hot?

Of course it's hot.

Orange headlights lit up everywhere in the underground hall, and the bright tubes released a large amount of heat radiation.

In the hazy warm orange light, even the air seemed to be distorted, and the entire underground hall was as unbearable as a steamer.

But the five people who came for the first time didn't feel much heat.

Compared to the heat, there seemed to be something else that made everyone except the figure sitting on the sofa feel...afraid.

Because of fear, I am nervous, so my heart rate increases, so my pores shrink, so... I sweat profusely.

Including thugs who are acting as perpetrators of violence.

The object of their fear was obviously the figure sitting alone on the sofa - Wallis.

‘Is this a show of force? ’

Dai Lian had this idea in his mind, but was rejected by himself.

They had been here last time, and although the leader in front of them also had a certain degree of prestige, he was not so alarming.

At least it shouldn't be the same for his men.

Did something happen that he didn't know about that made him so cruel that even his men had such a deep fear of him?

But so what?

It has nothing to do with myself and others.

They just came here to hand in a task. Whether they share the prize pool equally or get all the experience alone, it doesn't make much difference to them.

The experience of the prize pool mission may be considerable, but this wave will not determine the rhythm of the future game.

It's just a mission.

"We brought the treasure you asked for." Dai Lian stood half a step in front of the others, "It's in the car above."

As the brains of the team, he is responsible for all matters that require dealing with NPCs during collective actions.

The corners of Wallis's lips raised slightly, and he slowly stood up from the sofa, his tone carrying a strange yin and yang tone, "Don't talk about my children like that, you are my treasures. I am very happy to see you come back." happy."

Kuang Xin frowned, feeling a little nauseous.

Hard! The fist is hard!

Who the hell is your baby?

Wallis didn't take the look of disgust on the faces of the other four people except Dai Lian seriously, and just continued to perform his own performance, "Where are the other children? Didn't they come back with you? ?”

Are you talking about other players who took on the prize pool task together?

Ask them what they do?

Questions flashed through his mind. Dai Lian considered the words and answered carefully, "We completed the task together and came back together, but the speed is different. The slow one may still be on the way, while the fast one should have arrived."

The vehicle they drove was not very fast because it carried five people and the mission items. The brothers with faster feet probably returned to the vicinity of Blackwater City earlier than they did.

"Why don't they come to see me?"

"..." Dai Lian was stunned for a moment, then replied helplessly, "They have not completed their mission and feel ashamed to come see you."

"Hahahaha! No need to be so outspoken! I want to see them! I want to see all my children!" Wallis stared at Dai Lian at the same time with his protruding mechanical prosthetic eye emitting red light and his normal eyes. Zhongman was full of hope, "Can you find them back for me?"

Wallis paused slightly as he spoke, then emphasized, "Of course, in order to ensure that you can fulfill your promise, what do you need to pledge before you get them back for me?"

Xie Yi's mechanical prosthetic eyes wandered around the bodies of the five people, asking in a leisurely tone, "Look, what should I bet on?"

His wandering eyes finally fell on Gong Yan, "How about putting this little girl here with me? I promise that I will raise her to be white and fat! She will be my most outstanding daughter!"

"..."

minus?

NM still needs to pay for experience when doing tasks for NPC?

Pay to work? So familiar...

The five people who also saw the mission popping up on the panel couldn't help but look at each other, with the meaning of "see you soon" in their eyes.

"This is too outrageous..."

"Perhaps we encountered some incredible task chain?"

Gu Lan is well-informed. She has experienced many games and can be said to be deeply exposed to them. In fact, she has seen many in-depth game contents that ordinary players will never have access to in their lifetime.

It’s not like there have never been mission chains in the past where experience and money were deducted at the beginning and then doubled in the end.

Once completed, the rewards are unimaginable.

And it is a game after all... How can any game make players lose money?

Do you still want to make games?

The mission monster is a bit weird, but... maybe we can try it?

There was a hint of eagerness in Gu Lan's eyes.
