This assassin is upright

Chapter 121 It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

[Yu Zhun: I have come to an end for now, and I may need to exchange some information with you.]

Yu Zhun used the deposit he had just received to find an inn to stay in. He then held the [communication button] and began to send messages to other members.

After receiving the mission to kill the second city lord Louis, he finally got some useful information from this chaotic situation.

Next, it’s up to the other members.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other members are in a similar situation as him, and they should have received their respective mission information by now.

Only by linking and sorting out these mission intelligence together can he know how to break the impasse next.

Soon, news came from Ji Xiaoyu.

[Ji Xiaoyu: I am with the Su brothers and sisters. Next, we have to escort the [bloody people] to the [immaculate lake]. It is not much different from the original strategy plot.]

[Ji Xiaoyu: There is one thing we need to note. The key reason why the Bloody People decided to go to the Immaculate Lake is that the Grand Lord of Scarlet Cloud City is dying. If the Grand Lord passes away, their situation will worsen.]

Is the Lord of Chiyun City going to die soon?

There was a thoughtful look in Yu Zhun's eyes.

For players who normally attack the [End of Red Land] dungeon, this news may just be a small episode to supplement the rationality of the plot.

But for him who is currently in Chiyun City, this factor is crucial.

Because the drunkard in the underground bar mentioned before that the second city lord Louis might soon become the grand city lord.

He couldn't help but think of some basic information he had learned from the natives on the way to the post station.

There are four city lords in Chiyun City.

The city lord Enruf has been bedridden for several months due to serious illness.

The second city lord, Louis, is currently the most powerful city lord. He is responsible for the security of Chiyun City and has strong personal strength and subordinate forces.

The third city lord, Seans, is in charge of the entertainment and cultural fields of Chiyun City. Although he does not have direct power like Louis, culture and entertainment are the easiest to influence others, and he is also respected by the residents.

The fourth city lord, Suocha, is responsible for the overall logistics of Chiyun City. Compared with the second and third city lords, he is simply a transparent existence.

and so…

Who could have secretly approached him and wanted to assassinate the second city lord?

By the way, Sarath and Sheila haven’t spoken yet.

They are both in the city like me, so they should be able to get more information.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun took the initiative to ask.

【Yu Zhun: Xiao Sa, Sheila, how are you guys doing? 】
-
"This is the specific task. I look forward to your good news."

The tall man adjusted the brim of his hat, turned and left the alley, leaving Sarath and Sheila looking at each other in bewilderment.

“Not only do we have to create chaos, but we also have to kill a city lord…” Sarath scratched his head in distress.

He could do the former, as he had just recently developed some new gadgets that could be used to create chaos.

But the latter...

Sarath looked at Sheila beside him for help.

"I'll do it." Xila's words were still so concise and clear.

With her talent and output ability, even if the third city lord Seans has boss-level stats, it would not be difficult to kill him.

Hearing this, Sarah immediately understood.

Leave professional matters to professionals!
"By the way, we need to tell the president and others what happened here as soon as possible." Saras came back to his senses and picked up the [Communication Button].

In order to avoid missing messages, he deliberately designed the [communication button] to be not instant messaging, but a form similar to a chat group.

This way you can still read historical messages even if you don't have time to respond.

After reading Ji Xiaoyu's message, Sarath nodded in understanding, "The vice president and the Su brothers and sisters are all in the wasteland, and they are following the normal plot."

"The news that the vice president mentioned about the great city lord's imminent death should be related to the mission we received."

Sheila didn't say anything, just nodded.

She also saw the historical news.

Sarath stopped talking and started working quickly.

[Saras: Sheila and I have already met. We are in a civilian underground organization called [Wild Grass Society] in Chiyun City. This organization mainly helps people do dirty work or gather intelligence.]

[Saras: Tomorrow is the celebration day of Chiyun City. Except for the Grand Lord, everyone will attend. We two have received a mission to create chaos and assassinate the Third Lord of the City, Seans.]

"What the hell?!"

Yu Zhun, who was sitting on the bed, finally waited for the message from Sarath, but after reading it, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

Sarath and Sheila are going to assassinate the three city lords?
His expression suddenly became strange.

It would be fine if the group of six split into two groups, but they actually had to carry out three completely different tasks at the same time?

[Yu Zhun: My role is a lone assassin, and the mission I received is to assassinate the second city lord Louis.]

[Yu Zhun: I have already found out that there are four city lords in Chiyun City. In addition to them, there is also a little-known fourth city lord Suo Cha.]

In the red wasteland, Ji Xiaoyu, who was escorting the large army of [Red People], saw the news and couldn't help but sigh.

"This mission is too complicated."

Su Hong and Su Yue nodded in agreement.

Although the current task facing the three of them is slightly simpler, there is actually no difference.

The strategy from Shenhui City has proven that simply sending the "Red People" to Scarlet Cloud City is not enough to complete the game.

At the moment, they are just acting separately temporarily, and they are destined to work together to achieve a perfect clearance.

The difficulties encountered by Yu Zhun and the other two are also their difficulties.

Taking advantage of the fact that they had nothing to do, the three of them couldn't help but start discussing.

"The Grand City Lord is dying soon. Now they are trying to murder the Deputy City Lord in order to compete for the position of Grand City Lord." Su Hong looked thoughtful. "Based on who benefits, who is suspicious, the fourth city lord is most likely to hire someone to kill him."

"But the president and Xiao Sa are from two different forces." Ji Xiaoyu said softly, "So, there may be two suspects."

"Maybe one of them is the fourth city lord who hired the killer, and the other one is the second or third city lord." Su Yue put forward her own idea.

"It is also possible that the Second City Lord and the Third City Lord hired each other to kill each other." Ji Xiaoyu shook his head slightly, "It is too difficult to judge based on the existing information."

While the three of them were communicating, they were also using the [communication button] to express their opinions.

Before they could continue their conversation, the clan leader Luo Meng suddenly came over quickly with a serious look on his face, "Three of you, we are in trouble."

"There is a group of red ghosts coming this way."

The red devil is coming?

Ji Xiaoyu and the other two put down their [communication buttons] with serious expressions.

"Chief, leave it to us." Su Hong shouted, and took Ji Xiaoyu and Su Yue to the direction where the red ghost was coming.

Soon, they could clearly see the appearance of the red ghost in the smoke and dust in the distance.

The pupils of the three people contracted at the same time.

"This is…"
-
"Damn calf."

Watching the discussion, Sarath gave up on the treatment. "One of the four city lords of Scarlet Cloud City is dying, and the remaining two will be killed by us soon. Only one is left."

"Can we really pass the game if we keep playing like this?"

The copy that was originally in good condition is now completely messed up!
[Saras: President, what should we do next? Should we really kill both city lords?]

Although the instructions given to them by the copy were that this was the right thing to do.

But the instructions in the copy may not be correct.

If everything goes according to the copy, you can complete the game perfectly, there wouldn't be so many copies that have not been completed perfectly so far.

You have to judge many things yourself.

On the other side, Yu Zhun looked at Sarath's question with a thoughtful look. He did not make any requirements on the time of the assassination, but for an assassin, it would be most appropriate to kill the second city lord while creating chaos in the Wild Grass Society and killing the third city lord.

This way, the blame for killing the two city lords can be put on the Wild Grass Society.

But Sarath's words hit the point.

This is how the copy is guided, but whether to kill or not is not up to others.

It's up to them to decide.

Yu Zhun knocked on the table, a hint of determination in his eyes.

[Yu Zhun: Xiao Sa and Xila, stay put. I will secretly learn about these three city lords before making a decision. The rich woman and the Su brothers and sisters can escort the [Red People] normally.]

【Saras: No problem! 】

The three rich ladies did not reply to the message, but Yu Zhun did not care.

They are escorting the "Red People" in the wild and may encounter emergencies at any time, so it is normal that they don't have time to read the news.

Clicking on the skill list, Brigadier General Yu temporarily replaced [Swift Step] and [Shadow Punishment] with the assassin's exclusive skills [Stealth] and [Sneak Move].

The latter is able to conceal its whereabouts while in action.

Although it is not used most of the time, Yu Zhun has already learned all the basic skills unique to assassins. After all, he is not short of this little money now.

With these two skills, he can secretly investigate the situation of the three deputy city lords.

seeing is believing.

Only after understanding each one of them can he decide whether to kill or not.

Pushing open the window of the inn room, Yu Zhun climbed out in an extremely unreasonable posture under the [Sword Dance], and soon his figure disappeared quietly.

At this moment, the assassin Yu Zhun looked like an assassin.

Soon, Yu Zhun arrived at the logistics management office of Chiyun City, where Suocha, the fourth city lord closest to him, was located, and entered the other party's office.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, frowning slightly as he processed documents. There were piles of documents on his table.

Yu Zhun remained hidden, standing in the corner of the other person's office, watching him quietly.

Over the next few hours, the sound of shuffling papers never stopped until a figure strode into Socha's office.

"Mr. Suocha, there is news from the Grand City Lord!"

Suo Cha stopped writing, stood up suddenly and looked at the person who came, "What's the situation?"

"The inquirer said that the city lord has refused anyone to enter his room since this morning."

"There's not much time left..." Suocha's expression quickly became solemn, and he finally sighed, returned to his seat, and continued to process the unfinished documents until the lights came on.

[Lurking] tells Yu Zhun that the other party has not noticed his presence.

Yu Zhun left quietly and walked to the office of the third city lord Seans.

At this point, the other party has already gone off work.

But this did not pose a problem for him. After making some simple inquiries, Yu Jun went straight to a certain place.

It was an upscale bar, completely different from the underground bar Yu Zhun had been to before.

“Drink one!”

When the waiter entered the best room in the bar, he sneaked in quietly beside him, and an excited shout immediately reached Yu Zhun's ears.

Seans was holding a glass of wine, his face showing a hint of drunkenness. He was surrounded by flatterers and many scantily clad women.

When he heard someone calling him "Lord of Seans", the drunken middle-aged man couldn't help laughing out loud with a smug look on his face.

A few minutes later, Yu Zhun followed the departing waiter.

Then he arrived at Louis's door.

Before he could think of a way to sneak in, a middle-aged man with an angry face strode out of the house, cursing under his breath.

"That bastard Seans, when I become the city lord, I will crush him to pieces!"

Yu Zhun: “…”

Shaking his head speechlessly, Yu Zhun turned and walked towards the post station.

Taking out the [communication button], Yu Zhun saw the message from Ji Xiaoyu, which he had not had time to read before, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

As he walked, he connected all the information together, and finally climbed back to his room through the window with a crack opened.

After figuring out everything, Yu Zhun smiled.

He already knew what to do next.

However, this is a first-level trial after all.

Even if the strategy fails in an ordinary 3A copy, as long as you can leave safely, the loss will not be too great, but there is no chance of failure in the first-level trial.

Therefore, he wanted to add a layer of insurance to his speculation.

Yu Zhun took out the item [Strategy Simulation Card] exchanged for 10 [God and Demon Medals] from his backpack and chose to use it.

This card allows him to simulate the strategy of the current dungeon ten times.

Yu Zhun closed his eyes and opened them again after a moment.

"Sure enough, everything is just as I guessed."

He picked up the [Communication Button].

[Yu Zhun: Xiao Sa, Xila, tomorrow, according to the mission requirements, create chaos and kill the third city lord Seans.]

[Yu Zhun: Rich woman, after you three kill the Red Devil Leader tomorrow, come to Red Cloud City as soon as possible to join us.]

After sending the two messages, Yu Zhun slowly put down the button.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Old 'friend'."
-
The annual celebration day of Chiyun City was held as scheduled.

This is the most important festival of the year in Chiyun City. All residents put on their best clothes early and go out with their families. The bustling streets are filled with hawking sounds and the aroma of various foods lingers for a long time.

Joy, happiness, everything is peaceful.

Even the top officials of Chiyun City who were handling official business put down their work and celebrated with the people on this special day.

Colorful flags are flying and ribbons are flying.

In the largest square in the center of Scarlet Cloud City, the moment a group of high-level officials stepped onto the viewing platform, the crowded crowd below burst into cheers and shouts.

Until a loud explosion sounded.

An extremely eye-catching ray of light quickly shot up into the sky from somewhere on the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and then exploded at the highest point.

A Q version of Sarath's head appeared in the air.

As the avatar disappeared, green spots of light scattered like fireworks and quickly fell down, almost covering the entire square.

fireworks?

Countless residents stared blankly at the falling points of light until they actually landed...

A foul stench of canned herrings hung over the square.

Amid the sounds of retching, the square that accommodated tens of thousands of people suddenly exploded.

"Salas stink bomb, you deserve it." Outside the square, the green-haired initiator was smug.

Xila released the bowstring that had been stretched to the limit, watched the arrow empty the target's health bar on the viewing stand, and then spoke expressionlessly.

"President."

Sarath’s face changed drastically.

Finished!
