WTYTIAAN Chapter 238

Chapter 238

The [Ying Yi] squad naturally wasn’t completely oblivious. Almost as soon as Yan Yunqing noticed the few little tails following them, the others realized they were being followed.

After all, they had the game’s minimap. There were a few little red dots following them, and if they couldn’t notice that, there was no need for them to be doing special missions. They could just be sent back for a redo.

But these red names hadn’t shown their intentions yet, so they chose to sit tight.

They paid close attention to the movements behind them. [Fiery Loneliness] sighed, “As expected of a high-level mission, the experience is plentiful, but the mission is also difficult. We’ve already met the first ‘roadblock’ after just coming out.”

“Do you want to get rid of them in advance?” [Woof Woof Squad] asked, “Could these people be mercenaries who were provoked by Yan when he took the mission?”

“Probably not, right?” [Fiery Loneliness] rubbed his chin, “But it’s hard to say. I didn’t kill those mercenaries, just beat them up. Maybe they felt aggrieved and wanted to take revenge on me?”

This was no longer their first time doing a mission, the time when they were playing games at public expense. After this half-year, those of them who had entered “The Road Home” had already perceived from the attitude implicitly revealed above, as well as some details, that this game world was not just a game.

This world was likely to be real, so these people from another world were also real people. It was okay to fight with monsters, but for them to casually kill people was a bit of a challenge to their beliefs.

So, except for those red-named NPCs that the mission required them to kill, they tried not to kill people if they could. Most of the time, they just beat them up to achieve their goals.

The group of mercenaries that surrounded Arthur before looked like newbies and weren’t red-named yet. [Fiery Loneliness] didn’t go too hard on them. If they really held a grudge, it wasn’t impossible for them to come back for revenge.

“That’s not right. Weren’t those guys yellow names before? The ones following us are red names?” [Bin Windstorm] said, “They shouldn’t be the same group, right? Just because you beat them up, they went from neutral to hostile?”

“Game judgment, it’s hard to say.”

The others were whispering, and on the other side, Arthur, who had been immersed in the notes, finally deciphered the key content from their quiet conversation.

He was a little panicked, “Someone is following us?”

[Fiery Loneliness] corrected, “No, it doesn’t necessarily have to be people, it could also be monsters.”

After all, the minimap only showed red dots and couldn’t show whether the ones following them were people or monsters.

Maybe, it’s a monster?

Arthur’s face paled a little. No one would be too happy to hear that there were monsters following them. After all, monsters that could ‘follow’ had already reached a terrifying level of intelligence, and monsters with high intelligence also had high levels, which was much more terrifying than following a few people.

Arthur was a student who seriously studied at Hogwarts Academy, and he knew this basic knowledge of monsters.

“We haven’t even approached the edge of the Ruins of the Past. It’s impossible for such a powerful monster to appear, right?”

If there really was a monster of this level following them, then they wouldn’t even be enough to fill the monster’s teeth.

[Fiery Loneliness] said cheerfully, “That’s why I said it’s possible!”

Arthur: …

“[Ying Yi] decided to sit tight and wait and see what happens.

The other four immediately understood the captain’s meaning and began to be vigilant.

[Ying Yi] looked back again. [Ri An] was still following behind, leisurely, as if he hadn’t noticed the guys following them at all.

The team continued north for another two hours, and finally arrived near the Ruins of the Past before the sun set.

The Ruins of the Past was the name given to this place by the mercenaries of Freedom City. It used to be a small town-like existence, but now it is dilapidated and full of ruins. However, this is the closest town ruins to Freedom City, and it is relatively well-preserved compared to other ruins. The architectural style is a bit similar to Freedom City, so it was named ‘Ruins of the Past’.

Stepping into this ruin, they also encountered another mercenary group, a mercenary group composed entirely of women.

The leader was a bright-looking female swordsman, with silver-white soft armor covering her whole body, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of heroism. Her flax-colored long hair was tied up, and she held a large sword no smaller than the one in Yan Yunqing’s hand, but she didn’t show any sluggishness at all, and her actions showed her heroic appearance to the fullest.

Behind her were also different beautiful girls, a total of seven people, six of whom were dressed as swordsmen, and only one was particularly different.

That was a girl in a white priest’s robe, with platinum blond long hair tied up, holding a staff in her arms, and her skin was so white that it glowed, making her particularly dazzling in the sun.

Yan Yunqing met that pair of light-colored eyes, and after another look, he found that the other party was not only particularly fair-skinned, but even her eyelashes were white.

This is, an albino patient from another world?

However, this kind of clothing…

Yan Yunqing’s eyes fell on the girl’s white robe, and the familiar patterns were very eye-catching.

He had just seen the same pattern on the bishop of the church in Kastella City not long ago. That was the unified clothing of the Radiant Church. In order to highlight the special status of the Radiant Church, the Radiant Church would not allow others to use the same pattern to make clothes.

Not to mention that the patterns on the clothes of the Radiant Church themselves are also the lines of a magic array, so no one else would imitate these clothes.

So this is someone from the Radiant Church?

This age… could it be a saint or something? But how could someone from the Radiant Church join a mercenary group and run to this dangerous ruin?

The two sides met from afar, and the female captain at the head said a few words to the people behind her, and then walked alone in their direction.

“I am Filola of the Crimson Flame.” The female captain took the lead in introducing herself to them, “You are Skywalkers, right? Did you take Arthur’s mission?”

“Hello, I am [Ying Yi].” [Ying Yi] looked back at Arthur, who was slowly climbing down from the beast: “Do you know each other?”

“I had the honor of taking a few missions from Mr. Arthur and Ms. Theresa before.” Filola said with a smile.

Arthur finally came down from the beast and greeted Filola enthusiastically, “Oh, Miss Filola, I am very happy to see you again here. I originally wanted to continue working with you this time, but it’s a pity that you were just on a mission when we passed by.”

Saying that, he glanced at the dusty group, “Are you still not finished?”

“Yes.” Filola shook her head, “I encountered a little trouble and I’m still thinking of a way.”

Arthur said regretfully, “That’s a pity.”

Filola waved her hand, “After this mission is over, if Mr. Arthur still has the idea of ​​sending a mission, we can still cooperate.”

Arthur looked very happy, “Of course, after all, we have cooperated so many times, I like Crimson Flame very much, you are one of the best mercenary groups I have ever seen.”

Filola smiled and accepted the praise, but she then asked, “May I ask, where is Mr. Arthur’s destination this time?”

Arthur paused, and without concealing anything, simply took out the hand-painted map he had given to [Ying Yi] and handed it to Filola, “It’s here. If the mission is on the way, we can go together. Of course, I will pay a certain reward.”

Arthur’s trust in old friends who he often cooperated with was definitely higher than that of [Ying Yi] and the others, so it was not surprising that he would make an invitation.

Filola did not directly agree, but took the map and looked at it for a while before returning the map and shaking her head, “It seems that our destinations are not the same, it is a pity.”

However, she did not fully reveal her destination, but just lightly skipped over the sentence that they were not consistent.

Arthur didn’t think there was anything, after all, he was just here for archaeology this time, and it wasn’t something that needed to be kept secret, and he didn’t care about Filola’s perfunctory attitude.

Filola said a few more words to Arthur before smiling at [Ying Yi], “Sorry, I’ve wasted your time, then I’ll go back first. If you need any help, you can go there to find me, our team has set up camp there tonight.”

After speaking, she bid farewell to Arthur, turned around and left decisively, returning to her team, but before leaving, Yan Yunqing felt that the other party looked at his direction a few more times.

Yan Yunqing looked at the other party’s level, a level 78 swordsman.

This level belongs to the rare existence in Freedom City, and the levels of her team members are not low.

[Fiery Loneliness] poked [Woof Woof Squad] in the back, and lowered his voice and said, “Vice-Captain, don’t you think this Filola is a bit strange?”

[Woof Woof Squad] turned around and lowered his voice and replied: “She cares about our destination.”

Filola’s purpose was too obvious, or she didn’t intend to hide it at all. She directly asked Arthur about the destination, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer, as if she was very worried that their destination would coincide.

This almost put the question of whether there was a problem on her face.

I just don’t know if the other party’s behavior is hoping that they will explore or not hoping that they will explore.

“I feel like this will be a hidden mission.” [Fiery Loneliness] said, “Do you want to try it?”

“People have said that the destinations are different, how to try?” [Woof Woof Squad] said helplessly, “This escort mission has a lot of experience and is a limited-time mission. Are we going to give up this mission and gamble on a hidden mission that we don’t know exists?”

“Not to mention, we still have this time…” [Woof Woof Squad] glanced at [Ri An], who was standing at the back and didn’t know what he was thinking, “The mission is more important.”

Of course, this mission is not that mission. The mission in [Woof Woof Squad]’s mouth naturally refers to the mission issued by the official.

Compared with the tasks assigned by the organization, the hidden task that does not know whether it exists is of course not important.

[Fiery Loneliness]: “That’s right.”

The Ruins of the Past is the closest area of ​​ruins to Freedom City. Most of the dangers here have been eliminated. Camping here at night is considered safe. Their team chose a place not far or near from the Crimson Flame team’s camp.

Leaving a [Hellcruiser] to keep watch at night, the remaining people entered the tent and successively chose to log out of the game.

Since the last internal test update, after the number of people was increased to 10,000, there was no limit to the length of time the game was online. However, if you log in to the game for a long time, your body will not be able to ingest food, so players still have to go offline to eat and drink water at fixed times.

[Ying Yi] and the others’ mission this time has a relatively long time span, and they have already prepared to soak in the game for a long time, but they still have to go out to eat at the point.

While they were offline, Yan Yunqing quietly approached the Crimson Flame team’s camp.
