"Welcome to the City of Sin!" "Here, there is no order, no rules, only violence and bloodshed that destroys everything." "Bottomless darkness attempts to devour everyone who enters this city. This city is like a ship, and everyone is on it, sailing towards the deep sea without a guiding light." "Biker gangs, razor gangs, thugs, terrorists, and madmen have become the masters of this city. They release their malice without concealment, devouring this miserable city, dragging the last vestiges of goodness into the darkness bit by bit." "Weeping and revelry, lamentation and mockery—you can ignore everything around you, turning a blind eye and allowing the city to continue to sink into darkness." "You can also join these extremists, helping to drag this city that never sleeps into the abyss." "Or, you can choose the most difficult path, seeking the only way out for this city that has already fallen into madness." "No matter which side you choose, you will receive help from this city, which may influence the balance of victory." "As a traveler who has accidentally stepped into this city, you are very clear about your purpose." "That is to kill your target!"
—— Before Xu Tong could even open his eyes, he had already triggered the main quest of this instance. "Main quest triggered: Kill all other players in this instance." "This instance is a player-versus-player instance. Every fifteen minutes, all players can scout the location of other surviving players. If you miss it, you cannot scout again." "When two players get close to a certain distance, their player identities will be marked above their heads." These two lines of text provided the most important information in this instance: scouting the location of other players every fifteen minutes, and the exposure of player identities when close to each other. These two hints might be the most useful information within this instance, but for Xu Tong right now, they don't seem to be of much use. Because Xu Tong is currently in a place where he can't see his own fingers. "Damn it, where is this?" He moved his position, only to find that he was in a rather narrow space. The height of the space was about one and a half meters, and he couldn't fully extend his arms on either side. It was as if he was sealed in a cube. Not being able to see things was a minor matter. The most crucial thing was that this space was not only opaque but also airtight! The oxygen content in the narrow space was gradually decreasing. Xu Tong was about to face a situation of oxygen deprivation and suffocation. Even if he wanted to reach into his inventory to take out his diamond pickaxe, he wouldn't be able to fully take it out due to the narrowness of the space. A layer of fine sweat broke out on Xu Tong's forehead. He didn't know if it was because of nervousness or because the surrounding temperature had indeed risen to a certain extent, but no matter what, suffocation was definitely the first problem he was about to face, and he had to solve it first. At this moment, Xu Tong's hand, groping in the darkness, seemed to touch something. 【Your hands have completely touched the surrounding situation and layout, transmitting all the information to your brain】 【Your brain is rapidly sorting out all the information, presenting a three-dimensional stereoscopic view of the entire space in your mind】 【Your brain has awakened "Forced Calmness" for a duration of thirty minutes】 When his brain awakened the ability of forced calmness, the panic in Xu Tong's heart due to being on the verge of death vanished instantly, and even his expression returned to normal.
This feeling was wonderful. Even though Xu Tong was very clear that if he couldn't resolve the current situation within the next few minutes, he might die, he still didn't feel any panic or fear in his heart. Closing his eyes, the stereoscopic view constructed by Xu Tong's brain appeared in his mind in a light blue color. The height, width, and even the number of cubic meters of the space were accurate to the millimeter level when transmitted to Xu Tong. Using this third-person perspective, Xu Tong was also able to identify what kind of scene he was in. He was surrounded by bricks and cement. Touching them from the inside, these cement bricks seemed to have been there for several years. Only the bricks in front of him seemed to have been newly piled up, and the time didn't match the surrounding bricks at all. Lying beside Xu Tong was a skeleton that had already turned into white bones. Presumably, this place was some kind of prison used to imprison the owner of this skeleton. Unfortunately, when Xu Tong entered the instance, he happened to appear in this place, so he was very "unlucky" to be locked in as well. "Good家伙，我成陪葬品了," Xu Tong muttered, turning his head to look at the corpse beside him—although he couldn't see it directly. Patting the bald head of the skeleton, which didn't even have a single hair left, Xu Tong opened his mouth with a heavy heart. "After all, this is only our first meeting, and we're not soulmates. I personally don't like objects that are too revealing, so I won't be buried with you." "I'll take a step first!" Saying that, Xu Tong faced the only newly built brick wall directly in front of him. Clench fist, charge power. Heh—! Eat my bow step punch! —— On the other corner of the city, on the rooftop, a little girl with a height of about one and a half meters, wearing a red scarf around her neck, and short hair just reaching her shoulders, stood inside. A bald man stood outside, not afraid of falling off the stairs at all. "Li Ge," the little girl opened her mouth, pressing her bangs with her hand, otherwise the night wind above the high-rise would only blow her bangs around, "Which side should we attack first?" "Don't rush." The bald man called Li Ge first scouted the locations of other players at the first moment. A huge stereoscopic projection appeared in Li Ge's sight, marking the locations of all players in this instance. Not only did it mark the locations of the players, but even the names of the players were marked. Among them were names that Li Ge recognized. Everyone was a rising star in the Strategy Bureau this year, and they had some impressions of each other. "I heard that the East District is a bit fierce this year. We better not provoke them first. The South District is about the same level as us. If we meet them, we can still compete. "But... who is this Xu Tong?" The night wind blew suddenly harder. The little girl not only had to hold down her bangs, but also had to hold down her skirt to avoid accidentally exposing herself, "I know, it's a newcomer from the North District Strategy Bureau. I heard that he got a very high rating in his first instance." "Really?" Li Ge became a little emotional, "What's his level?" The little girl recalled, "According to the information from the last investigation, it should be around level thirteen or twelve, which can only be considered the lowest level in the entire instance." Hearing this sentence, Li Ge laughed out loud, "I thought the North District only sent a newcomer this year, how confident they are. After a long time, they gave up struggling. It's okay, they've taken the last place so many times in a row. I would give up too if I were them." The little girl faced the wind and asked Li Ge, "Who is our next target? Also, can we go downstairs quickly, I'm freezing to death..." "I took a look at the distance, that unlucky guy named Xu Tong is closest to us," Li Ge turned his head and showed an extremely confident smile, "The North District might be thinking of just sending one person to muddle through, see if they can hide and at least not take the last place.
"Unfortunately, he met me." He walked towards the edge of the building, moving his shoulders. Then jumped down! "I'll take the first kill of this instance. "I'll start with the guy from the North District!" The little girl quickly chased after him, but at this time, Li Ge had already landed, starting with zero frames, and didn't give her any chance to react. "Hey, I'm really convinced, can you use your brain a little, I want to take the elevator down!" There was some reproach in the little girl's tone. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gaze... staying on her. Turning her head, the top of the building was empty, and no one was watching her at all. "Did I see it wrong..." The little girl touched her head, tidied up her bangs, and ran towards the fire escape. Whoosh—— A gust of night wind blew. In the darkness, the corner of a maid outfit seemed to flutter slightly.
