Chapter 60: The Mask of the Laughing Maker

The flickering electricity deftly leaped over the countless towering buildings, the dirty green light illuminated a tortuous and crooked journey, and the rain crackled against the windows, but the young man in the room turned a deaf ear to the noise of the outside world.

The young man was wearing headphones and skillfully tapping on the keyboard, and the dexterous figure on the screen jumped rapidly, blooming blood flowers in the crowd.

The corners of the boy's mouth rose slightly.

"You people...... It's too weak. ”

"How can it be a human manipulation ......" It was a leading swordsman who spoke, dressed in black iron-level equipment, but the long sword was broken, and his face was frightened, and he couldn't help but tremble.

The ghostly assassin dilated in his pupils, and the feeling of imminent death gave him back his courage.

"I'll fight with you!" He roared, his sword raised.

But it can't be left behind......

At the last moment, there was only fear in his eyes.

"Last Night's Stars ......"

...

The boy rolled over to bed, his face full of exhaustion.

"Ding." The phone at the bedside vibrated easily.

"Huh? An invitation from Chigen? He clicked on the link.

"Dear Mr. Gu Xingchen, congratulations." A sweet female voice came into her ears, "You have qualified for the first Assassin's Bounty Tournament of Qiangen!" ”

"Huh? Assassin's Bounty? What is it? ”

"The Assassin's Bounty Tournament is an event jointly organized by Dr. Baiming, the developer of Qianxuan, and Mr. Ye Tiancheng, the richest man in City A, and invites all Qianxuan players to participate, with a maximum prize of up to 5 million RMB and a valuable set of silver-level suits. The premise is that your profession must be an assassin~ because it is said that the sponsor, Mr. Ye Tiancheng, likes this profession very much. Miss NPC answered him patiently.

"5 million RMB!" Gu Xingchen jumped up directly from the bed, stepped on the leftover lunch box from yesterday, and fell hard.

"Ahh Gu Xingchen grinned in pain, but he didn't care about this, and hurriedly got up, "Then I won't have to eat instant noodles in the future!" ”

"What are the rules?"

The NPC flickered and it seemed that something was wrong, but it was back to normal right away.

"You can participate voluntarily, and once you sign up, detailed rules will be posted to your account. It is not possible to withdraw after participating, and we hope that you will consider it carefully. ”

"What else are you thinking about? Application! ”

"Okay. Please pay an application fee of 50 RMB. ”

"Huh?!"

……

In the fragrant garden, flowers are in full bloom, forming a sea of colorful flowers. In this sea of flowers, a graceful figure slowly walked forward and took a leisurely walk.

"Assassin's Bounty Tournament......" She looked up at the dark sky, where there was a star shining brightly.

"I don't know if that star from last night will participate......" she clenched her fists, and when she remembered the star last night, she became angry, and wanted to beat him hard.

A few days later.

The gloomy city high-rise buildings, countless eyes shoot out essence.

All of the contestants were holding a book that had turned blood-red, the rules of the Assassin's Bounty Tournament.

Under the starry sky, thousands of lights are lit.

The game is on.

The virtual stereoscopic image covers the entire world, forming a huge white floating disk surrounded by an infinitely extended sky.

Gu Xingchen looked at the huge disk, thousands of people had already entered the game and landed on it.

He tried to find a familiar figure, but in the end he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.

She ...... Didn't attend? ”

"Fellow Assassin players of Qianxuan, welcome here."

The words of their respective NPCs came to the minds of the players present, "A total of 110007 players signed up for this bounty tournament, and the number of attendees was 23,477. ”

"How so? It's only one-fifth! "Many players are confused.

"The Assassin's Bounty is about to begin, so get ready."

After listening to NPC's words, Gu Xingchen was even more disappointed. Since only one-fifth of the players came, the laughing master must have disdained to participate...... However, that's 5 million, what do those 80,000 people think?

"Players have 10 minutes to team up freely, and after 10 minutes, the first level of the Bounty Tournament, Bloodstained Town, will begin."

"It's not a good place to listen to the name." Gu Xingchen pursed his lips, looked around, and fell into deep thought.

"Why is the highest-level player a half-black iron suit, it's ...... weird"

"Hey!" A greeting woke him up, and he was a handsome young man.

"Shall we team up? My ID is the stars of last night. ”

Gu Xingchen couldn't help but laugh, one of the rules of the Assassin's Bounty Tournament was to hide the IDs of all players.

"Last night's stars...... Is it the super strong assassin? ”

"Hehe, don't dare to be." The boy smiled, "How about it, would you like to join my squad?" Your bronze outfits are very luxurious......"

"Of course. Last night, the star boss invited me, how dare I not ......"

"Hahaha, brother, come here, I'll send you a team information!"

“……”

10 minutes passed quietly, Gu Xingchen joined the young man's team of 5 people on a whim, the scene was digitized in an instant, the sky was gray and low, and everyone gathered outside a towering town.

"Players, please note that when the Bloodstained Town dungeon is opened, the player's squad will be teleported anywhere in the town, and the ID of a player will be randomly exposed, and the task of the rest of the players is to kill him, as well as the players of the same team, otherwise the mission will fail. And that player's task is to survive within the allotted time, otherwise the mission fails. The above rules will continue until a large number of people have been eliminated. Each player killed is rewarded with a bronze item. ”

As soon as the NPC's voice fell, a dazzling white light covered all the players, teleporting them one by one.

"Announcing Player ID: Ask Immortals."

"Damn it!" Gu Xingchen and the five people were teleported to a tavern, and the leading young man scolded directly, only to see the id and 2 blood-red characters gradually appear above his head: prey.

"Die!" One of the players in the squad directly erupted, and a chisel took away one-third of the Qi and blood of the Immortal.

"Are you crazy?!" The pain was unbearable, "I'm the captain!" Captain! ”

"Captain, didn't you hear the rules?" Except for Gu Xingchen, the other 3 players all pulled out their daggers and stared at them.

"That's bronze! I'll just grieve you, last night's star boss. ”

"I see who dares!" Asking Immortal was also furious, and the two black iron daggers tore through the air.

In terms of technique, Wen Xian admits that he is not afraid of anyone present, even in the main city where the top assassins gather in the Dark City, his two blades can be ranked in the top twenty.

Pity...... He met the real stars of last night.

Gu Xingchen didn't even bother to look at him, two quenching daggers were thrown, and Wen Xian opened the block, who knew that one of the daggers flicked the other dagger, and the dagger rotated weirdly, and finally inserted it straight into Wen Xian's back, directly taking away all the blood!

"Ding, reward bronze item: Ash Blade."

The players next to them were stupid, they were also from the Dark City, and they were naturally clear about the strength of the immortals, but they were actually given seconds by the young man in front of them!

"The player asks the fairy to be out. Player ID announced: Immortal in Wine. ”

Gu Xingchen didn't bother to pay attention to the three people who were stunned, and flew out of the tavern, trying to find the player named Wine Immortal.

While he was searching, the NPC message rang in his head: "Please do not enter the special map, which has a technical glitch and is being repaired. ”

This news was broadcast three times in a row, louder and louder each time, which is obviously very important.

"Map glitch? Isn't it in the map now? ”

When Gu Xingchen was puzzled, he suddenly saw the time when the message was sent, 13:25.

No way! Gu Xingchen was a little incredulous, it was already 18:21 in the evening, and the start time of the Assassin's Bounty Tournament was 18:00. How can you only receive a message that was sent at one o'clock now?!

Don't...... Gu Xingchen couldn't help but shudder, the 80,000 players didn't participate because they received the NPC email on time?

He couldn't think anymore, so he clicked on the friends list and added the player: Ask the Immortal.

The ball in front of the fairy head is gray, obviously not online.

Added player: Laughing Maker.

The player laugher rejected your friend request.

He gritted his teeth angrily, and could only hope that the laughing master was no longer in the bounty competition.

"The player wine fairy is out, and the player ID is announced: Laughing Craftsman."

"it!" Gu Xingchen scolded angrily, because this bounty competition is by no means simple, and the wine immortal is also in a state of going offline, how is it possible, just after being killed, he will be offline? What a coincidence!

"Gotta find this guy quickly!"

Bloodstained Town, Blood Square.

The cute smiling mask, covered in blood, looked horrifying, and the owner of the mask lay with more than a dozen assassin corpses lying next to him, with the only survivor falling to his knees.

"Didn't you want to kill me?" A crisp voice came from within the mask.

"Demonic ...... The demon ...... "The player is already desperate. Not only did they summon thirty elite assassins to encircle and suppress this man, who was known as the number one assassin in Cloudsy City, but they also invited the third-ranked assassin of Undercity to be assassinated, but they all died at the hands of this laughing man!

"No last words? Die. The laugher said indifferently, and the silk thread shot straight out, and the survivor closed his eyes.

"Stop!" A loud shout came, and the dagger cut the thread with his hand.

"Yesterday! Night! Star! Early morning! The laughing man said word by word, "You're here to kill me too?" ”

"Listen to me!" Gu Xingchen was anxious, "Look at the sending time of the email just now!" ”

"What mail?"

“……”

Gu Xingchen hurriedly said to the survivor: "Email? ”

"Huh?" He looked dazed.

"Quick! Open your mail! ”

The survivor was startled and hurriedly opened the email. But his inbox was blank.

"What were you doing last night?" The laughing man was like seeing a madman.

Don't...... I was the only one who received the email and the other players didn't know about it?

"If you don't want to fight, get out of the way." The laughing craftsman snorted coldly, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Gu Xingchen's arm.

Gu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, Qian Xuan was really perfect, and even the touch was similar to reality.

"You ......"

"Let's look at this first." Gu Xingchen opened his inbox.

The laughing man fell silent.

"How could it be ......?"

"Got it? And as far as I've found, players who are killed will be offline immediately, and I always feel that it won't be as simple as offline. ”

"Yes, Brother Xingchen is right, they are indeed offline immediately!" The assassin who was rescued by Gu Xingchen was named Chop Hongchen, and now he may have become Xingchen's number one little fan brother last night......

"Shut up!" The laughing craftsman said angrily.

Chop Hongchen closed his mouth depressedly, women can't afford to provoke him.

"I don't think it's easy, do you know what's going on?"

“…… Know a little. ”

"Do you know who the sponsor of this event is?"

"Ye Tiancheng, the richest man in City A?

1:24:24 p.m

"Ye Tiancheng, the richest man in City A?" Gu Xingchen tried to recall.

"That's him, a bastard!" The laughing master seemed to be a little uncontrollable.

"Er, what do you have to do with him?"

"Listen to me, I want you to take care of it!"

Gu Xingchen shook his head helplessly.

"The purpose of his holding this bounty tournament, if you guessed correctly, should be to take revenge on someone."

"Revenge on someone?"

"Do you know, before Qianxuan was announced, he was forced to open the biggest pain in the 'Extreme Prison' final, and as a result, half of his body was neurologically damaged and he lost consciousness."

And the person who faced him in the final was the number one assassin at that time, Death. She also joined Qianxuan. ”

"Extreme Prison ......" Gu Xingchen has also heard the horror of this league, and was even investigated by the police, and the most painful data loss was ......

"And what are you participating for?"

"For the money, of course!" The laughing master took off his mask and wiped the blood from it, "Also, I want to kill you." ”

"Such a beautiful girl, don't fight and kill at every turn......"

"Wow." Chop Hongchen stared blankly at her moving cheeks, "Does the young lady lack a boyfriend?" ”

"Get out!"

"Hahahahaha."

...

"Players, please note that after 10 minutes, the location of the player's laughing master will be announced throughout the process, and the remaining time is 30 minutes, otherwise the mission will fail."

"What happens if you fail?" Gu Xingchen asked.

"I don't know, but I don't want to fail."

"That ......," Chop Hongchen began, "there are more than 2w people left." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Xingchen stood up and said to the laughing craftsman, "Stretch out your hand." ”

The laughing man took a step back: "What are you doing?" ”

"Not what you think." Gu Xingchen smiled helplessly, "Do you remember the last time the main city was in the ring?" The phantom body I used. I'll give it to you to learn. ”

"Well...... All right. ”

The palms of the two of them were tightly sealed, and strange lines covered the backs of their hands, and a large amount of information poured into the minds of the laughing craftsmen in an instant.

SS skills, ghostfire ghosts!

"You gave me such a precious skill?" The unbelievable way of the laughing craftsman.

"Compared to you, what is skill?"

“……”

"Alright, get ready for battle." Gu Xingchen suddenly looked up at the rooftops around him.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is really good eyesight." Dark's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect that his stealth would be discovered.

"Dark ...... Darkness! Chop Hongchen was shocked.

Darkness, the city of elite assassins, the head of the assassins of the Undercity!

"Come out!" The darkness let out a low cry, and several figures walked out of the darkness.

"Even the Dark Souls are here......" Slash Hongchen stammered, and the top six masters in the top guild of the Dark City, the Dark Netherworld, actually all participated in this assassin bounty tournament.

"Did you kill Assassin?" Darkspirit, the second assassin of the Undercity, looked at the laughing man.

"It's not hard to kill you." The laughing craftsman said lightly.

"What a big breath!" The Dark Soul laughed angrily, "What are you? ”

As soon as the dark ghost's body moved, the ghostly figure appeared in front of him.

"She, you can scold her too?" What followed was a heavy punch, which directly smashed the dark soul into the ground, leaving only a trace of blood, which was obviously deliberately left by Gu Xingchen.

"Xingchen, be careful!"

When the Dark Spirits were attacked, the Dark Spirits all swarmed up except for the Dark Spirits, their daggers flashing with cold light.

The dagger pierced Gu Xingchen, but he disappeared.

It's the Ghost Fire Phantom.

The dark darkness rushed towards the laughing man, and the bronze-level dagger cut the wire net, and the laughing man's body was also penetrated.

"What a difficult skill." Darkness frowned slightly, the laughing master he penetrated was obviously also an illusion.

"Attention players, there are 20 minutes left."

"I wanted to keep the reward to myself, but unfortunately...... You're too strong. ”

Secretly sighed, at this time, the system had announced the location of the laughing craftsman, and all the players rushed madly!

"The World of Silk!" The laughing master manipulated the silk thread to cover the entire area, and countless daredevils were entangled in the silk thread and couldn't move, but the laughing master didn't kill them according to Gu Xingchen's meaning.

Even the Dark Shadow and the others couldn't break free from this terrifying silk world.

But the silk thread is limited after all, and the world of silk is enough to control thousands of players, but more are still coming!

"What should I do?" The laughing craftsman looked at Gu Xingchen.

"Run!" Gu Xingchen started stealing and rushed out directly.

Laughing Maker and Chopping Hongchen followed.

Countless players are chasing after them from all directions.

"Attention players, there are 10 minutes left."

"Come on, kill the laughing man!"

"My 5 million!"

The players were going crazy, and countless daggers stabbed the trio.

"Big brother, your stamina is running out soon!" It's not okay to cut the red dust.

"Damn!" Gu Xingchen also had a solemn face, there were too many players!

"Leave me alone!" The laughing man stopped suddenly.

"Kill me, the reward will be given to you!"

"Silly woman!" Gu Xingchen roared, "Don't you know, isn't this a simple competition?" How could I possibly let you die! ”

The laughing craftsman was stupid by Gu Xingchen's yelling, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Brother Xingchen is right, we can't do this." Chopping Hongchen actually stopped.

"Am I afraid of death?" The laughing craftsman laughed at himself, took off his mask and handed it to Gu Xingchen, "This is for you, keep it as a souvenir." ”

"What? Run! ”

"No need to run......"

"What......"

"Haha, finally caught up!" Several of the Assassins laughed and rushed over.

The laughing master drew his dagger, and in an instant, several people lost their ability to fight.

"So strong?" Even Gu Xingchen froze.

Thousands of players flock to it!

The laughing man spun and rushed into the crowd!

Silk threads fluttered wildly, moving through the crowd like mowing grass, and countless players were knocked down, but with just the right amount of blood.

"Sister Xiaojiang is too strong." Chop Hongchen's face was full of shock.

Gu Xingchen is the same as him, because the laughing craftsman at this moment, whether it is the position of the movement or the position of the piercing, is perfect, no one else can do it, not even Xingchen last night.

But...... People have limits after all.

After knocking down an unknown number of players, the laughing master fell to his knees, and the ground was covered with scattered silk threads.

Countless players surrounded her layer after layer.

"Kill...... Kill her! One player exclaimed.

"You have the ability!"

"I won't be able to ......"

"The time is almost up......"

There was a commotion among the players, and the laughing master had obviously completely shocked them, and no one dared to pounce on her, even if she was overdrawn.

"It's wonderful." The voice rang in the minds of all the players, it was the voice of a young man.

"Ahhhhh......h

The latest, except for the laughing craftsman, last night's stars, and slashing red dust, all players fainted.

The young man who also didn't faint shouldn't be considered a player.

"Who are you?" Gu Xingchen asked.

"Last night's stars." The young man did not answer his question, "You are strong, but you are ......"

The young man appeared in an instant, and flew the stars of last night with a punch!

That's impossible! Gu Xingchen is stupid, what kind of operation is this? Also, what's going on with this pain? Heart-rending pain!

"The taste of the strongest pain, isn't it?" The young man smiled gently.

"Ye Tiancheng, after so many years, you are still ......"

The young man looked back at the laughing man, "Do you know how much pain I have in my absence?" My dear...... Younger sister. ”

Ye Tiancheng smiled hideously and kicked the laugher hard, and the laugher fell to the ground and snorted, unable to speak in pain.

"Ye Kexin, I finally found you! Only you can do that! Ye Tiancheng's face was full of hideousness, "No, it should be, death!" ”

He slowly approached the laughing craftsman, "I will pay you back the pain I suffered back then." ”

Chopping Hongchen slid a step between the two.

"You are not allowed to hurt Sister Xiaojiang!"

"Get out!" Ye Tiancheng was furious, and slapped the red dust, his face was pale, and he fell to the ground and kept twitching.

"You dare!" Gu Xingchen gritted his teeth and got up.

"Oh? Can you still move? Ye Tiancheng said in surprise, "Okay, let's solve you first......

"Get the highest privilege." Ye Tiancheng said softly, grabbing it lightly from the void, and a black giant sword appeared.

Legendary weapon, Juque!

"Being slashed by it is like being consumed by fire in reality, and it will destroy your nervous system...... Probably, he will die. ”

Ye Tiancheng rushed over with a wild laugh, and cracked the ground with a sword!

Gu Xingchen rolled out of position and barely dodged.

Ye Tiancheng pressed forward step by step.

"Gu Xingchen, think of a way!" Gu Xingchen shouted in his heart, but his mind was blank.

"Wait...... This Ye Tiancheng is just one of the players, and the rules he can use ......"

"Die!" With a wave of the giant sword in Ye Tiancheng's hand, countless sword shadows rushed towards Gu Xingchen, and there was no dead end.

"Get the highest privilege!" Gu Xingchen also fought hard, and roared, only to see that the void was shattered, and a huge shield embroidered with mountains and rivers was in front of him, and all the attacks were absorbed by it.

Legendary weapon, the Shield of Akshus!

"What!" Ye Tiancheng's eyes were about to pop out, "This is impossible!" I obviously set up private permissions! ”

But what came to his mind. "Damn! Damn it! Baiming, you bastard! ”

The entire map began to shrink and crumble, and the endless sky grew darker.

"Get the highest privilege!" Ye Tiancheng was furious, summoned countless hellfires and ghosts from the portal, and rushed towards Gu Xingchen frantically.

"Get the highest privilege!" Gu Xingchen also summoned the Bright Light Judge, the boss of the Heavenly Gate of the Qianxuan Level 100 Map, and a holy light extinguished many hellfires.

"Damn boy, why are you holding me back!" Ye Tiancheng rushed towards Gu Xingchen angrily.

"Because what you're going to hurt is my most precious thing!" Gu Xingchen also rushed towards Ye Tiancheng.

Ye Kexin's tears swirled in his eyes, he fought so hard, for me?

"Put on that mask!" Ye Kexin seemed to think of something and shouted to Gu Xingchen.

Gu Xingchen listened to her words, and at the same time fought with Ye Tiancheng, and his skills even surpassed the limits of human beings! Countless sword shadows flew, and Ye Tiancheng kept staring at Gu Xingchen who was wearing a smiling mask.

On that day, too.

The mysterious Smiling Mask Man defeated all his pride. destroyed the Extreme Prison League he had built with his own hands, and finally he knew that under the mask, it was his own sister!

Ye Tiancheng couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't allow it to fail a second time...... But he was timid, he was afraid that the mask would push him into the abyss again!

"No!" Gu Xingchen struggled to cut off Ye Tiancheng's arm with a sword, Ye Tiancheng screamed wildly, but to no avail, the highest pain would really make people crazy.

Gu Xingchen didn't stop, and slashed out sword after sword on Ye Tiancheng's body, Ye Tiancheng screamed like a ghost, his blood was emptied, and he disappeared.

"Red dust, can ...... Happy, quick, log out of the game, the game is going to crash! ”
