If he didn’t go in, Wang Qing might have been smashed to death by the chandelier right at the beginning.
Then, few players would suspect the already deceased Wang Qing.
Unless they discovered that Wang Qing was in love with Ning Mufeng, and found out about the drug Wang Qing had stolen from a guest at ‘Huayue’, which was likely to be potassium chloride solution.
If these two points weren’t found, no one might survive.
Because the misleading information given by the NPCs using the culprit made it almost all deceptive.
Clearly, the instance was intentionally leading players astray, making it the most challenging part of the instance.
Ruan Qing’s entry into the instance only increased the difficulty.
Wang Qing, with his memories, advanced his methods significantly, leaving no clues for the players.
He would place himself in danger each time, disguising himself as a victim to shake off suspicion.
It was challenging for people to suspect him.
But the instance level was marked as ‘???,’ was it the main system’s evaluation of him?
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze; it seemed the main system thought highly of him.
If he wasn’t mistaken, was Su Zhen sent in the <Xishan Residential Area> instance to kill him?
After the conclusion of the <Xishan Residential Area> instance, Ruan Qing’s memories before the reset returned.
The appearance of Su Zhen was too abrupt; it was evident that he had come to kill him.
Even though he had regained his sight, the game forcefully restricted his vision.
The main game system’s intention to kill him was almost undisguised.
Becoming a special NPC wasn’t accidental, it seemed.
Even the <Bloody Love> instance felt like a specifically designed tomb, strongly targeting him.
After all, it would be easier for oneself to kill themselves.
As Ruan Qing had suspected, the main system had been monitoring his game live streams all along through other players’ streams.
Ruan Qing, watching the video with Wang Qing’s face, fell into contemplation.
Wang Qing, being able to use his memory to commit murder, had already revealed too much; the upcoming instances would likely be even more challenging.
Seeing Ruan Qing put down his phone, the female player immediately revealed a gentle smile. “By the way, you haven’t joined a game guild, right?”
“Do you want to join ours?”
“A guild?” Ruan Qing looked up in confusion, seeming unfamiliar with the concept.
“One’s power is always limited, whether entering the game or buying clues,” the female player patiently explained. “Joining a guild allows you to spend the least points and get more clues.”
“And you can also team up to enter the game together.”
The female player smiled at Ruan Qing. “For new players like you, teaming up with experienced guild members can significantly increase your survival rate.”
Ruan Qing nodded in understanding. “That sounds intriguing.”
“We seem to get along well,” the female player invited. “Would you consider joining our guild?”
“Can I?” Ruan Qing asked with excitement.
The female player nodded. “Of course, our guild is currently recruiting, and if I recommend you, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Ruan Qing showed an excited smile to the female player. “Thank you.”
“I’ll take you to our guild first. If you feel it’s suitable, you can fill out the application form later.”
“Okay,” Ruan Qing agreed.
Ruan Qing followed the female player towards her guild.
As Ruan Qing passed by a player on the street, he suddenly froze and involuntarily came to a stop.
Was that the advanced male player he had once hypnotized?
Even though the other’s appearance had changed, the scent was the same.
He died, didn’t he!?
Ruan Qing recalled the scene where he witnessed the guy fall from the twenty-something floor of a building, with his heart pierced.
The image of the corpse rising again flashed in Ruan Qing’s mind, causing his face to turn pale.
Could this person be that kind of existence?
Perhaps because Ruan Qing suddenly stopped, the female player leading the way in front turned around with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Ruan Qing, with a hint of panic, pursed his lips, shook his head, and immediately followed.
Due to Ruan Qing not looking back, he didn’t see that the man who had just brushed past him also stopped, looking somewhat puzzled as he glanced at the retreating figure.
The guild where the female player belonged wasn’t far from where the two were sitting, and they quickly arrived.
Guilds seemed to have their own territories, and Ruan Qing looked up at the guild’s plaque.
Yong’an Guild.
There weren’t many people in the guild at the moment, with only three or four gathered, discussing something.
After the female player exchanged greetings with others, she led Ruan Qing to fill out the membership form.
While Ruan Qing was filling out the application, a few more players came over, intending to join the Yong’an Guild.
Ruan Qing didn’t look up; he focused on writing his information.
Suddenly, he sensed someone’s gaze.
Ruan Qing instinctively raised his head and found that the person looking at him was the player who he had just passed by.
The player seemed a bit puzzled and somewhat curious. When Ruan Qing looked over, he flashed a polite and somewhat strange smile.
Ruan Qing froze again.
The system, seeing Ruan Qing’s stiff reaction, knew what he was thinking and took the initiative to speak, [No, non-players cannot enter the main city area of the game.]
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and politely smiled back at the player.
The system, observing Ruan Qing filling out the information with his head down again, couldn’t help but coldly remark, [This woman doesn’t seem to have good intention at first glance. Why did you come here with her?]
Ruan Qing didn’t pause for a moment and replied in his mind, ‘It’s evident that this guild has intentions to enter a dungeon instance.’
The system didn’t understand Ruan Qing’s meaning. Perhaps he was suspicious to temporarily invite players because they already had plans to enter the instance.
Maybe it was a trap to lure new players into their deaths.
Ruan Qing spoke casually in his mind, ‘Entering an instance carefully chosen by others is always better than entering one carefully selected by the game’s main system.’
‘Don’t you think so?’
System: “...” Unable to argue.
Ruan Qing had already filled out the application form and was about to submit it when he noticed two players entering, exuding a chilling aura.
These two players looked unfamiliar, but their eyes revealed shadows and a hint of killing intent. They seemed incompatible but were walking together, possibly due to some unavoidable circumstances.
The two players walked straight to the side where the guild application forms were, said nothing, and directly grabbed an application form.
Clearly, they intended to join the guild.
As Ruan Qing stood frozen while the two filled out their forms beside him, he realized these two players were likely Su Zhen and Li Shuyang.
Seeing Ruan Qing not handing over his partially completed application form, the female player reached out with some confusion.
However, Ruan Qing held onto it a bit tightly, and she couldn’t pull it away after a couple of attempts.
Female player: “...”
