It's night, and there are no stars and no moon.

March used the excuse of walking before going to bed and slipped out of Nangong Mansion. Just as she walked some distance and thought about whether to take the opportunity to slip away and fly away, she felt movement behind her.

Looking back, there was nothing in sight. However, her instincts told her that there was indeed someone behind her!

She turned around casually and walked in the direction of Nangong Mansion.

In most games, the assassin class has stealth skills, and most of this person was sent by the Nangong family to spy on her, so it is better to go back obediently......

I didn't know that I hadn't taken a few steps, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air behind my head. She quickly turned around, only to feel a cold blade grazing her neck. If her reaction was half a minute slower, the short knife would have pierced her throat.

Life and death, a thin line.

In the midst of the lightning, another short knife struck her in the abdomen. This man has weapons in both hands! With his feet on the ground a little, March's body suddenly rose high, and after dodging the attack, he landed on the treetops next to him.

She had just stood firm, the tip of her nose was cold, and a little cold had hit the door. Extreme speed, deadly moves, is this an assassin?

Perhaps because she knew that this was just a game, at this moment, the crisis of her life hanging by a thread made her feel extremely excited. Isn't this kind of excitement exactly what she wants to pursue in the game?

Whenever she has the strength to fight, she will choose to fight with this well-skilled assassin, although she has no regrets. It's a pity that her profession is a wet nurse, and she has no choice but to escape.

March's body fell backwards suddenly, and a black shadow swept from above. For the first time, she was able to see the Assassin in his entirety: a nightwalker, a masked scarf, short white hair, and a double-edged hand.

Before he could look further, March threw the ball of light that had condensed in his hand at some point.

Seeing that her body was out of balance and about to fall, she put her feet on the branch a little, her body flipped, like an arrow from the string, and rushed in the direction of Nangong Mansion.

The Assassin dodged the ball of light, briefly unable to see under the glare of light, and slashed at the place where she should have fallen, only to be pounced. This delay has widened the distance between the two by three or four feet.

The place where they fought was not far from Nangong's house, and it was useless to chase after them, so the assassin gave up decisively and quietly escaped under the cover of night.

Until he returned to the guest room of Nangong Mansion, March was still in shock.

This assassin's setting is definitely a top master. Luckily, March is a veteran of virtual games, having played a variety of classes and has a lot of experience in PVP. Mirage doesn't have much innovation in combat, and skills like magic and light skills are available in most games, so she picked it up very quickly, and even used the skills of silently chanting in her heart and silently releasing spells - a trick she learned in other games.

The characters in the holographic online game, compared with ordinary people in the real world, are all superhumans. It's easy to punch through the steel plate and leap onto the roof. Therefore, people who play holographic games for the first time or rarely play will be very uncomfortable at first, and naturally they will not be able to exert the full power of their skills. This was the case with the Assassin, who March sensed that he lacked combat experience and was not using the full strength of his role.

However, he has a great talent for fighting. If you give him some more time to familiarize himself with the skills, I'm afraid it will ...... March stared at the pattern on the floor, this assassin didn't look like a member of the Nangong family, who was he? Why kill her?

March thought that his skull hurt a little, so he locked the door, lay down on the bed, and chose to go offline to rest.

- After the player goes offline, the body will remain in the game and stay asleep. Places such as inn rooms and private residences belong to the player's private space and can be locked, and no one can enter unless they are actively invited.

NPCs also have to sleep, and most NPCs will wake up between 7 and 8 in the morning. She just needs to be back by eight o'clock.

As soon as I got off the line, I couldn't wait to be on the game forum in March.

When playing virtual games, she is in a state of sleep, and the game pod can also provide nutrients to her body in time, so she doesn't need to sleep and eat, and if she doesn't need to go offline to visit the forum, she can stay in the game all the time.

Years of gaming experience have made her deeply understand that the collective wisdom of the three stinkers is great, and visiting the forum is a must. On the forum, there are skill props that normal people can't think of when they break their heads, there are bugs with extremely harsh trigger conditions, and there are experiences summarized by masters from all walks of life. However, when this information is made public and visible to the vast majority of players, it means that they lose most of their value......

RPGs are basically past the novice period, and the relevant sections are full of posts complaining about NPCs, and one of the most miserable players spent three days completing more than 20 serial quests before NPCs said that what they were looking for was in someone else's hands...... After dying in the novice period, you can resurrect on other characters, but after the novice period, you will directly quit the game after death, and you can only recreate the world...... Currently, there is no way to resurrect a character (whether a player or an NPC) after death......

In March, I clicked on a hot post that introduced a concept called "Newbie Graduation Mission". Soon after the end of the novice period, all players who follow the story will receive a challenging task, and after completing it, even if they are completely out of the novice status, the system will no longer arrange a special plot. The task rewards are relatively rich, and those who are lucky can get the master's skills, cheats or divine weapons, and those who are unlucky can also get unique information such as family secrets and secrets of the rivers and lakes.

Treating Nangong Langchen should be her novice graduation task, and it is indeed very challenging. If an ordinary player were to play Tears, or an old driver like her to play the Assassin, the role of Tears would have cooled down a long time ago. March flipped through the replies of other players, and it seemed that other people's graduation tasks were not so difficult.

Could it be that the assassination was not a test of the system's settings, but the spontaneous action of the assassin player? This is even more confusing......

Thoughts turned to the content of the task, Nangong Langchen was poisoned a week ago, and the illusion was created just a week ago, and the player who played Nangong Yanzhu should also have started the game a week ago, so the poisoning is inseparable from Yanzhu's plan.

At sunrise.

Penglai Island, the coast of the East China Sea.

There are more than a dozen black figures standing on the beach.

Black night clothes, black masked scarves, uniform attire, only the color of the hair is different.

They looked silently out to sea, as if waiting for something.

Fu Longpan is also among them. Unconsciously touching the fist stab in his hand, he was not yet very familiar with the assassin's weapon.

These people on the beach all belong to the Fronon family. This is a special family that is not tied by blood, not limited by occupation, and anyone can join. However, in order to participate in clan activities, one must carry an Assassin's weapon and fight as an Assassin.

For example, now, it is the Fulong family's monthly hunting activity in the East China Sea.

It is said that the reason why the family is called Fulong is because the patriarch often hunts the three-headed dragon in the East China Sea.

The sea suddenly parted in both directions, and a black figure walked out of the middle. His stride was not fast, as if he was strolling leisurely, but in an instant, he crossed a hundred feet and came to the front of everyone.

Night clothes, masked scarves, short black hair, eyes like cold stars, and blood-red fist spurs on both hands. This person is the patriarch of the Fulong family, and Fulong is popular.

Feng Pan has a fierce momentum on his body, and he is not angry and arrogant. Including Fu Longpan, all the clansmen invariably lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

He is considered to be the most powerful assassin in the world.

"Let's go." Fu Longfeng said lightly, turned around and walked into the East China Sea.

This time, in order to take care of the large army, he didn't use the "shrinking the ground" skill and walked very slowly. The clansmen followed, and Fu Longpan walked at the end, reminiscing about the scene of Fang Cai.

He and Yin Jue are relatives and friends in reality, and the two chose the same label and were lucky to share the same world. Therefore, he knew the role setting of Yin Jue, and thought that Feng Pan and Yin Jue were at the same level, but who knew that Feng Pan was obviously better and unfathomable.

Is this person a player or an NPC?

If there is a hostile relationship with this perversion...... Fu Longpan secretly smiled bitterly, but if such a person was their teammate, how terrible should the enemy they face?

March made an excuse to let Yanzhu run errands and get things, and then pretended to give Nangong Langchen acupuncture, and spent a day.

She didn't tell Yanzhu about the assassination last night, no matter whether this matter was related to the Nangong family or not, once she said it, the Nangong family would inevitably send someone to protect her, which also meant that she lost the opportunity to slip away.

At night, March went out for a walk again, and this time she was doubly vigilant and didn't dare to go too far from Nangong Mansion. She was conflicted, hoping to meet the Assassin and find out why he had committed the assassination, but also hoping that he would not appear again.

She didn't have to worry about it for long, and the figure of the assassin quietly appeared in front of her.

March took a step back, and the Assassin didn't attack, just stood still, watching her silently.

"Is there something wrong?" It seems that the other party has no malicious intentions, March breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Can you do me a favor?" The assassin spoke, the voice of a young man.

This opening statement was unexpected by her, and March couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. When he said this, he wanted to ...... Disguise NPCs?

She thought about it, and from the other party's point of view, this idea was not bad. The other party has been wearing a masked scarf, and he can't see his face, so he can't confirm his appearance. In the illusion, there is no system prompt to take the quest with the NPC, and the camouflage difficulty is not high. After yesterday's battle, the other party realized that he couldn't kill her, so he simply disguised himself as an NPC and deceived her trust before making a plan.

It's beautiful to think about, but the premise of this plan is that she didn't see through the other party's identity. Most of the inexperienced assassins in this game didn't expect that when they fought yesterday, her identity as a player had already been discovered by her.

Alas, I don't have enough experience, and I don't know how to visit the forums more, and the method of pretending to be NPCs has long been used by old players. The old fritters are slandered in March.

"Tell me about it." March cooperates, subtext: Please start your performance.

"You're a pharmacist invited by the Nangong family, right?" Because of the mask, I couldn't see the assassin's emotions, "I want to ask you to help find out the situation inside the Nangong family." ”

"Well, what kind of information do you want to know?"

"The number of masters, the time of the change of guards, the location of the treasury, the place of residence of important people."

"No problem." March answered cheerfully. Everyone knows that the other party wants to inquire about this information, most of which is to be unfavorable to the Nangong family, but what does the safety of the Nangong family have to do with her, and Nangong Yanzhu is not a vegetarian.

"Thank you, I'll be here for you tomorrow night." The Assassin said, turning to leave.

March smiled slightly, this person looked calm, and most of his heart blossomed. Judging by his needs, it should be to deal with the Nangong family, she is just a pond fish that has been affected.

As long as there is no direct conflict, there is room for détente...... If things don't go well, survival is the most important thing, and 36 strategies are the best policy.
