That's what I thought.

"Ding!"

A system prompt sounded, and the invitation letter from "Outer Heaven" that Zuo Yang was waiting for finally came:

- [Adventure: Please note that in view of your excellent performance in the "Forbidden Land Killer Ranking", the leader of "Outer Heaven" has noticed you, and hereby sends you an invitation letter to go to "Outer Heaven", please go to the west dock of Yanyuzhuang at the ugly time tomorrow night (100 am), and there will be a "Outer Heaven" pick-up person to take you to Outer Heaven safely, if you do not arrive on time, you will be deemed to have abandoned this adventure. 】

"That's it, it's a pity that I'm going to stay up late tomorrow night."

came back to his senses, but Zuo Yang didn't seem as excited as other players, but complained about this more "anti-human" time agreement.

Although this setting is actually quite in line with the behavior of the mysterious killer organization "Outer Heaven", for Zuo Yang, a guy whose mentality has always been much older than his peers, if he can not stay up late, he still hopes that everything will be solved during the day and sleep peacefully at night, after all, ...... If you stay up late, you'll get bald.

As for "Outer Heaven", Zuo Yang's understanding is limited to some descriptions of Murong Qing that are not too detailed.

However, he also knew for a long time that this invitation was actually a stepping stone to join the "Outer Heavens", although according to Murong Qing, once it came down, only one person in the two rankings could survive in the end and successfully join the "Outer Heavens", but Zuo Yang was actually not particularly enthusiastic...... Unless the "outer heavens" can provide him with some benefits that are difficult to refuse.

His ultimate goal is still the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace] of the Oriental Family, and the "Outer Sky" is just a means to save the country......

……

The other side.

"I did it! I did it!!! ”

At the moment of receiving the invitation to "Outer Heaven", a petite girl immediately jumped up with extreme excitement and shouted like a madman, attracting puzzled side eyes from players passing by.

This person is none other than the old man who has the numerology of "killing the wolf".

If someone looked closely, it was easy to see that the girl was in a bad state, her face was a little pale, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she had two very obvious dark circles under her eyes, which was definitely not the effect of smoky makeup, because the bloodshot in her eyes was too obvious...... This look, no matter how you look at it, you know that it is a tired state that has not rested well for a long time, and you can meet such a guy at the door of the Internet café every morning.

And that's exactly what happened.

Since the fight a few days ago and Zuo Yang "had no fate", the old man has not had a good rest for several days.

In recent days, she has been paying attention to the news about Zuo Yang on the forum, and naturally knows that Zuo Yang has actually been doing the "Forbidden Land Killer" since then, and coincidentally, the time when she was "fated" with Zuo Yang was actually her first contact with the "Forbidden Land Killer" gameplay, as for the reason, she also learned about the "Outer Sky" invitation through her own adventures before, and it was earlier than Zuo Yang, so she went to try, but she didn't expect to meet Zuo Yang who she had been "looking for".

Did the master also come to the "outer heavens"?

The old man immediately had such a guess, so he began to frantically participate in the "Forbidden Land Killer" gameplay, firstly, in order to "coincide" with Zuo Yang again; Second, if she can't meet Zuo Yang in the dungeon, if Zuo Yang's goal is "Outside the Sky", she can also brush up to the top 10 of the "Forbidden Land Killer Ranking", and she will definitely be able to see him again in the "Outside the Sky".

As for the recruitment method of "marriage hexagram", she insisted on not using it, because she felt that this was not an opportunity, and it would only attract the disgust of a master like Zuo Yang.

It's a pity that her strength is not enough.

Therefore, the win rate when participating in the "Forbidden Killer" game is not very high, and it is often possible to barely win the last one by participating in three times on average, and even if it is so, it is actually looking at the faces of teammates, in this case, it is too difficult to brush the top 10 of the "Forbidden Killer Leaderboard".

And the incident of encountering Zuo Yang in the copy has never appeared.

Fortunately, even if the "Forbidden Killer" gameplay fails, in addition to the normal death loss, it will not deduct the "Forbidden Killer" points that have been obtained......

And there is no limit to the number of times the "Forbidden Land Killer" gameplay can be played every day, but you just need to keep your eyes open and wait for the "BOSS Recruitment" announcement released by the system from time to time, and sign up for it as soon as possible.

Thereupon.

The old man began his journey of playing with her life, she basically didn't do anything in the past few days, and she didn't sleep anymore, except for the time when she was so hungry that she couldn't stand the time for a few bites of food hastily on the downline, the rest of the time was almost all spent in the game, crazy with her energy and health in exchange for "Forbidden Land Killer" points.

She only knows that although her win rate is not high, and the speed of gaining points is not fast, few other players can work as hard as she does 24 hours a day, and when those players have to go offline to rest, it is her chance to catch up with the points, which is a game version of the story of "Tortoise and Hare Race......

Especially when she saw an "anonymous" player appear on the "Forbidden Land Killer Ranking" in the next two days, she was even more convinced that Zuo Yang's purpose was "outside the sky", she saw hope, in order to be able to see Zuo Yang again, of course, she had to work harder than before.

In the end, her efforts were not in vain.

At the last moment when the "Forbidden Land Killer Ranking" was about to be refreshed, she finally surpassed the previous 10th place with a difference of 2 points, successfully climbed this ranking, and got an invitation to "Outer Sky".

"I did it......"

Even if she had noticed the strange gazes of the players around her, the old man didn't care at all, she had no way to control her emotions at all, it was really not easy, but it was all worth it.

"Hmmm......"

A sour nasal cavity rolled, tears unconsciously gushed out of her eyes, and her bloodshot dry eyes stinged, this feeling was like being burned, and she unconsciously let out a moan.

But this is compared to the pain in her abdomen that she has to endure every night, and the pain that she can't stay with the person she loves because she "kills the wolf...... It's nothing at all!

By the way, even if she is playing the game 24 hours a day, the pain in her abdominal cavity will still arrive on time every night, but in order to be able to enter the top ten of the "Forbidden Land Killer Ranking", she forcibly gritted her teeth and did not quit the game, still staring at the "BOSS Recruitment" information again and again, sign up! Application!! Application!!!

"Master...... The enemy of the city says that you are a good person. ”

"As long as I genuinely ask you for help, you'll definitely help me, right?"

"Master, hope...... You can feel my sincerity. ”

"I really, need your help."

"Please......"

Tears blurred her eyes, but the old man's gaze was extremely firm, and she muttered to herself, looking through the mist in her eyes at the unclear ahead.

"Whatever I am asked to do, I can ...... I can do it, I can really ...... I'm really, almost unbearable, really ......"

……

The next morning, 1 o'clock.

Zuo Yang is a very time-conscious person, so he stepped on the point and came to the coordinate location given on the invitation very punctually.

It is located on the edge of the lake.

Zuo Yang looked around for a week, and soon saw a slender and petite figure under a weeping willow, this was a little girl, slightly older than Murong Xian, but she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was wearing a black tight-fitting night suit, although it looked very interesting, but at the same time, she also lost the agility and tenderness that a girl of this age should have.

But I have to say that this girl's appearance is still quite good...... It should be said that the female NPCs in the game, in addition to all kinds of aunts and aunts or specific characters that can be ugly, although most of the young girls have their own styles, but their appearance is relatively passable.

Of course, it's not that there is no difference in rank in terms of appearance, but this girl is definitely the first-class kind.

"Girl, may I ask ......?"

This girl didn't have the name that an NPC should have on her head, and Zuo Yang saw that there was no one else around, so he had to step forward and ask.

"You're the last to arrive."

The girl just glanced at him coldly, then interrupted him directly, and said in a voice that was colder than her gaze, "But I didn't delay the hour, wait." ”

After speaking.

"Smack! Smack! ”

The girl raised her hands and slapped them three times rhythmically, and the sound of "squeaking" paddles and "squeaking" water waves sounded in the lake.

After a while, a dark red boat broke out of the thick night and slowly approached the shore.

"Come with me."

The girl didn't even look at him, and jumped directly onto the boat with a light effort.

"Okay."

Zuo Yang didn't feel that he had been given a cold reception, but he just felt that this girl was a little rejecting thousands of miles away, maybe her character was like this, right? So he smiled and stepped into the boat.

"Let's go."

This girl has the same attitude towards the man in black who is rocking the oars.

Thereupon.

"Squeak crunch."

The boat slowly left the shore again, and little by little it swung towards the center of the lake.

“……”

Zuo Yang saw that the black-clothed man who was rocking the oars didn't agree to this girl just now, so he started rowing directly, only that the people who were "outside the sky" were all such a cold character...... After all, according to Murong Qing's previous statement, this killer organization was evaluated as "the first in the world" by the Central Plains martial arts people, and it was not surprising that it had a strange temperament.

Therefore, Zuo Yang will not be bored, and he sits silently by the boat and looks at the night of the lake.

“……”

And that girl is still very strange, Zuo Yang didn't take the initiative to talk to her, and she didn't take the initiative to talk to Zuo Yang, but she stared at a pair of eyes, staring intently at Zuo Yang's face wearing a [masked scarf], as if she could see something.

“……”

Being looked at like this, Zuo Yang didn't feel anything at first, and said in his heart that maybe this is a unique security check method of "Outer Sky", right?

As a result, after a few minutes, when Zuo Yang turned back again, he saw that the girl's gaze was still on his face, but the difference was that the girl's brows had been slightly furrowed at this time, as if she was a little unhappy.

"Uh......"

Zuo Yang was puzzled, and finally couldn't help but want to ask her what she meant.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, the girl interrupted him again, and continued to say in that cold tone: "You'd better take off the [masked scarf] on your face, because your identity can't be hidden." ”

"Since you can't hide it, what does it matter if you pick it or not, why do you have to take it off?"

Zuo Yang asked rhetorically.

"Because I don't like it."

The girl's voice immediately became a little colder, and even a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"If I don't pick it, will you kill me?"

Zuo Yang asked again, he didn't come to do something, he wore [masked scarf] just to prevent players from seeing it, so as not to turn himself into an Internet celebrity, if he had to pick it up, he would take it off.

I didn't expect it.

"No, it won't."

The girl shook her head and paused before adding, "Because even if I don't do it, someone like you will die at the hands of someone else in a while, so I don't need to kill you with my own hands." ”

"Why?"

Zuo Yang asked with a smile.

"You'll soon know, and now, I'm just looking forward to throwing you into the lake with my own hands to feed the fish."

The girl pursed her lips, and at last turned her head away, no longer looking at him, nor bothering him.

"If that's the expectation, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed."

Zuo Yang smiled indifferently and said.

Through the words "throw into the lake to feed the fish", he basically knew what this girl meant, just like Murong Qing said: even if he gets the opportunity to come to the "Outer Heaven", the players who come here will have to accept a test similar to the "Battle of the Basin", the top 10 of the same ranking Only the one who survived the brawl can be accepted by the "Outer Heaven", and the fate of the remaining people is that the corpse will be thrown into the lake to feed the fish.

And this kind of test for Zuo Yang is basically a welfare delivery bureau, there is no difficulty at all, this self-confidence Zuo Yang still has.

However, this girl's temperament is indeed a little weird, and a little too cold......

"Humph!"

The girl snorted disdainfully, and said without looking back, "In this case, I will look forward to it even more." ”

As for what she was expecting this time, she didn't say it, and Zuo Yang didn't continue to ask......

……

It looked like it had been more than ten minutes.

Zuo Yang's boat finally docked again, this time on a small island in the middle of the lake that was only the size of a football field.

In the center of the island, there is a lonely four-story pavilion, which is lit up late at night, making the whole island look like a pearl in the middle of the lake......
