At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

The atmosphere in the room was very tense.

The moderates, who had just been able to fight against the militants, all fell silent when faced with Nie Mu's gun.

The hatter is dead.

It was the militant faction led by Su Guo who brought the hat maker back.

According to Su Guo and his group, the hatter died while playing a game.

In this country, dying in a game is perfectly normal.

But the moderate Anne glanced at the fatal wound on the corpse and asked coldly, "What game did the Hatter participate in? A shooting game? That's a gunshot wound on his chest."

Su Guo remained silent, staring at the hatter's corpse.

Jiu Mu toyed with the gun in his hand and sneered, "Didn't you hear what I said? The Hatter is dead. I don't care how he died, he's dead. But 'Seaside' needs a leader, and I think our boss, Su Guo, is very suitable."

The moderate, bespectacled male cadre standing nearby finally couldn't hold back any longer and reminded in a hoarse voice, "If I remember correctly, the leaders of 'Seaside' are ranked according to the number of games completed. I'm only second. The next one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiu Mu pointed the gun at him: "I think only bullets can shut you up. I said, the boss of 'Seaside' can only be Su Guo!"

Niu Mu was clearly getting impatient. He fired a shot at the ceiling and then glanced at all the moderates in front of him.

Jiu Mu grinned and revealed a maniacal smile: "From now on, everyone raise your hands and vote to support Su Guo's leader to become the new leader of 'Haibin'. I value fairness and impartiality. Come on, raise your hands."

That's what he said, but the gun in his hand slashed across the face of every moderate.

Under the violent crackdown, one after another, moderate cadres raised their hands.

Just then, a soft laugh came from the corner: "Hey? Electing a leader? Why don't we ordinary players participate? Isn't 'Seaside' supposed to be very democratic?"

Everyone in the room was stunned.

The next second, they all looked toward the source of the sound.

There was a person standing in the corner.

It's Lin Bei.

However, no one present knew when Lin Bei had appeared.

Or perhaps, he's always been there?
Lin Bei looked at them with a smile and said slowly, "Now is not the time for you to argue about who should be the boss. The show is about to begin."

Jiu Mu, unable to tolerate Lin Bei's mysterious and unpredictable attitude any longer, pointed his gun at Lin Bei and cursed, "It's you again! I've fucking had enough of you! Just say what you have to say! I'm fed up with you pretending to be deaf and dumb!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a broadcast suddenly came on in the "Seaside".

That familiar, sweet female voice echoed in everyone's ears.

The "seaside" has become a playground, and everyone must now rush to the hotel lobby to hear the details of the game.

The sudden broadcast left everyone stunned.

Immediately afterward, the cadres present exclaimed in surprise: "What's going on? Why has 'Seaside' become a playground? There are at least two thousand people at 'Seaside,' are they going to put more than two thousand people into the same game? This has never happened before!"

Jiu Mu glanced around with a gloomy expression, finally fixing his gaze on Lin Bei: "You just wait, if this were a competitive game, I would definitely kill you!"

After saying that, Jiumu angrily kicked the table where the Hatter's corpse lay, then turned and strode out of the room.

Samura's face was equally gloomy. He didn't speak, but instead gave Lin Bei a meaningful look, hugged the long sword in his hand, and followed Niwagi out.

Soon, the other cadres in the room also left quickly. Lin Bei put his hands behind his back and followed the cadres downstairs.

Juwu was a half-step slower, deliberately coming to Lin Bei's side. His tone was calm but very certain: "You knew all along that 'Seaside' would become a playground, which is why you came to join 'Seaside' so early. You're actually not interested in anything in 'Seaside'; you were just waiting for this big game."

Lin Bei glanced at Juwu with a faint smile: "Okay, I admit it, you're quite smart. You hit the nail on the head. Everything about 'Seaside' is too boring for me. I have no interest in this kind of hedonistic escapist life. I can only tell you that this game is a 10 of hearts. It's a very exciting game. Enjoy it, Juwu."

Juwu looked at Lin Bei with some surprise: "This is the first time you've called me by my name. It seems you really acknowledge me. I'll take your good wishes and live well."

That's what they said, but when Juwu heard it was a 10 of hearts, his heart sank.

Hearts card games are inherently about manipulating players' minds, and Hearts game designers often find pleasure in playing tricks on players.

Juya also went through the Hearts game, and he has to say that Hearts-type games always took a lot of his time and energy to play.

This time, it's the 10 of hearts.
To date, the game has never featured a game with 10 Hearts. It's safe to say that once 10 Hearts is completed, the next game will definitely be headshots.

The grouse immediately realized the seriousness of this large-scale game.

The more people play a heart-type game, the harder it becomes.

With over two thousand players, the thought of Juya is terrifying.

Just as Juwu was preoccupied with his own thoughts, he had already followed Lin Bei to the hotel lobby.

Lin Bei saw Constantine standing with the water chicken from afar.

Constantine was smoking and chatting idly with the water chicken.

Lin Bei led Juwu over, and Constantine skillfully pulled out two phones and tossed them to Lin Bei and Juwu: "I knew you two would come together. Here, take these, the game is about to begin."

Constantine raised an eyebrow at Lin Bei; "So that's why you've been lingering in such a boring place for so long. Turns out you were waiting for this big game. More than two thousand people playing together, it's going to be interesting."

Lin Bei smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Isn't that interesting? That's really interesting."

Although he knew the answer, he would never reveal it to anyone.

He was eager to see how these ordinary people would discover the key to success amidst the immense panic.

Just after everyone had arrived in the hall, a familiar, sweet voice began to announce the game rules.

This game has a difficulty level of "Hearts 10" and is called "Hunting the Witch".

As soon as the game's name was announced, a burst of screams suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Everyone looked over and saw a girl collapse to the ground, a knife stuck in her chest, blood flowing down, and she instantly stopped breathing.

Just as everyone was in shock, the sweet female voice continued speaking.

The deceased was named "Mengmenghua". She was killed by a witch. The game is simple: find the witch and throw her into the campfire to burn her to death to complete the level.

After the announcement was finished, the sweet female voice abruptly stopped.

The entire hall was thrown into chaos.

More than two thousand people are searching for a "witch," and this "witch" is not specifically female, but could be either male or female!

Moreover, this game is time-limited.

If the "witch" is not found before dawn, all players will die.

No one saw how Mengmenghua died. After a brief moment of panic, someone immediately reacted, pointing at the people who had just been standing around Mengmenghua and shouting, "Those people were standing right next to Mengmenghua! There must be a witch among them!" The suspected people jumped back in alarm, yelling, "Hey, don't talk nonsense! We're not witches! Besides, how could a witch be so obviously exposed!"

Players who used to joke around together are now blaming each other and wary of one another.

She was terrified of becoming the next person to be labeled a "witch".

Chaos erupted in the hall, and just then, a gunshot rang out, drowning out all the noise.

The players froze in place, all turning their heads to look at the person who fired the shot.

It is leek wood.

Jiu Mu slung his gun over his shoulder, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he swept his gaze across everyone: "Brother Su Guo has something to say, everyone be quiet!"

Once the hall was completely silent, Su Guo glanced at everyone expressionlessly and spoke in a cold voice: "From today onwards, I am the leader of 'Seaside'! Since we don't know who the 'Witch' is, she must be hiding here! We, the martial arts faction, will kill all the players so that we won't miss the 'Witch'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Samura, who was behind Su Guo, suddenly swung his sword and swiftly killed a female player next to him.

When the person collapsed to the ground, the surrounding players finally felt the threat of death and began to scream and scatter in all directions.

The combative players immediately picked up their guns and started firing in all directions.

Jiu Mu, on the other hand, was quickly searching for someone in the crowd.

Lin Bei had been standing at a distance. He noticed Jiu Mu's movements, so he moved against the crowd and called out with a smile, "Hey, looking for me? I'm here."

Behind Lin Bei, Constantine saw this scene, shook his head and sighed: "Hurry up and go to the second floor, Lin Bei is about to take action against the martial arts faction."

Water Chicken and Juya looked surprised: "What? He has a problem with the militants?"

Constantine lit a cigarette, turned and walked upstairs: "More than just opinions, I reckon Lin Bei won't let any of them go except for that boss named Su Guo."

Just as Constantine was taking the water chicken and the sow house to the second floor to hide, Leekwood finally saw Lin Bei.

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he raised his gun and fired in Lin Bei's direction.

Lin Bei scoffed lightly, raised his hand slightly, and directly used "Binding Path Eighty-One: Severing the Void".

Jiu Mu never had eyes when he fired his gun; he just kept shooting in one direction and would always hit the person he wanted to kill.

If Lin Bei hadn't erected an invisible wall in front of him, all the players around him would have died from that burst of bullets.

As the bullets clanged and clattered against the transparent wall and fell to the ground, Niu Mu witnessed this and let out a sound of frustration and resentment.

Jiu Mu stomped his feet on the spot, looked around, and found that most of the players had not run away. He shouted loudly, "Hey, listen up, don't you guys find it strange that 'Seaside' was fine, but now it has suddenly become a game field!"

And this guy named Lin Bei, he's hiding too many secrets. I reasonably suspect he's the one who brought this death game to the 'Seaside,' and I reasonably suspect he's the 'Witch!'"

As Jiu Mu finished speaking, all the surrounding players looked at Lin Bei.

Actually, what Jiu Mu said wasn't without reason.

Because Lin Bei had shown too many extraordinary actions during his time at "Seaside".

Flying around was commonplace for him, but what truly made everyone wary was his frequent use of that strange black liquid to retrieve objects.

Several times before, Jiu Mu and Lin Bei had conflicts, which ended with Lin Bei wrapping Jiu Mu in black liquid and throwing him into the pool.

It was only because Su Guo kept blocking Jiu Mu in the middle that Jiu Mu had to suppress his rage and pretend nothing had happened.

Now, Jiu Mu's actions may lead to retaliation, but people are wary of the strong in such situations, and they all feel that Jiu Mu's words make some sense.

The hall was clearly not a place to linger. The players looked at Lin Bei and Jiu Mu in horror and continued to run away, screaming.

Lin Bei remained standing still, looking at Jiu Mu with a faint smile: "Nothing else? Continue, let me see your skills, or are you just an ordinary person who can't do anything to me?"

Feeling a chill run down Jiu Mu's spine as Lin Bei stared at him so calmly, he gritted his teeth and continued to fire at Lin Bei.

But Jiu Mu knew very well that his efforts were in vain.

Because the bullets couldn't get close to Lin Bei at all.

Jiu Mu's face was gloomy, but he still couldn't stop shooting. He shifted his gaze slightly to the side, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Jiu Mu grinned and said, "Lin Bei, no matter how powerful you are, you're still human. As a human, you'll have weaknesses!"

Just as Jiu Mu finished speaking, Lin Bei sensed a cold wind coming from behind him.

This cold wind carried a chilling killing intent; an ordinary person would certainly not be able to dodge this deadly move.

But in front of Lin Bei, everything was under his control.

Lin Bei deliberately exposed his back to lure the hidden Samura into a trap.

Samura and Nigi are in cahoots and are not good people in Linbei's eyes. Not to mention that ever since Linbei joined "Haibin", the two of them have been openly and secretly causing trouble, but of course, Su Guo has stopped them every time.

But this time it's different.

Everyone except the militants must die until the "witch" is found.

This is an order from the leader of the Su Kingdom.

Nigaki immediately sought out Samura, intending to join forces to kill the detestable Lin Bei.

Nigi's firing at the front was a feint; in reality, Samura launched a sneak attack from behind, striking him squarely in the heart.

Lin Bei deliberately left his back exposed; he liked to give them hope and then see their expressions of despair.

So when the long sword pierced Lin Bei's back, Lin Bei did not dodge, and just let Zuo Cun's long sword pierce through him.

When Samura saw that Lin Bei hadn't reacted or dodged, a hint of smugness flashed in his crazed eyes.

Samura thought that his and Niwaki's plan had succeeded and that they could finally kill the annoying Lin Bei!

Just as the knife tip was about to pierce Lin Bei's heart, Zuo Cun couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He couldn't wait to see Lin Bei fall to the ground and be chopped into pieces!

He hadn't killed so readily in a long time. In his eyes, other humans were useless scum, and killing them was no big deal; they didn't deserve any sympathy!

His blade will cut down everything in the world!
However, the imagined sensation of the knife tip piercing his body did not come. Instead, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and to Samura's astonishment, the knife tip broke off.

Samura stared in disbelief at Lin Bei's back and at the broken tip of his knife.

Why is that?
Samura didn't understand.

He takes care of his knife every day; his knife can easily pierce through a human body.

But why can't it penetrate Lin Bei? (End of Chapter)
