437. We have one... two... so many traitors among us!

"...I just saw these monsters guarding this place and thought they were protecting their leader, so I tried to capture the leader first...that's why I rushed here."

Forced by the situation, Ming Mengjing answered helplessly. Although she could stage a scene of desperate resistance, it would be pointless in reality.

"I see... You must have misunderstood. How could I be the leader of these monsters? I'm clearly a player just like you, aren't I?"

Zhou Ke'er shrugged and answered with a straight face and a straight face, "I was just dragged here. As for why I'm sitting here, I don't know either, because I just passed out. You don't really think a player like me can control these monsters, do you? No way, no way?"

Ming Mengjing looked at Zhou Ke'er suspiciously. Well, the logic was sound; as a player, it was unlikely he could control these monsters, otherwise the module would be meaningless. But this guy was such a powerful being... it wouldn't be surprising if these monsters submitted to him under pressure...

"You don't seem to believe me."

Zhou Ke'er shrugged helplessly. "Alright, seeing is believing. I'll let you see for yourself whether I can control these monsters and dispel your doubts."

With that, Zhou Ke'er rose from her throne, raised her arm towards all the monsters below, and shouted, "Now...all troops, attack! Break through the city gates!"

He had barely finished speaking when he looked down at Ming Mengjing, "How about it? These monsters don't listen to me at all..."

"Boom!"

Soon, a series of heavy footsteps, both orderly and slightly chaotic, rang out. The monsters, who had been on the defensive, immediately began to prepare for an advance.

Moreover... they completely ignored the other players around them, and didn't even care if they attacked them. They didn't fight back, and their only goal was to stare straight at the city gate.

"??grass?"

Zhou Ke'er was shocked—why did these monsters actually listen to what he said?! Does that make sense?

Looking at Zhou Ke'er's bewildered expression, Ming Mengjing couldn't help but adopt the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, her whole face saying, "The truth is already so obvious, why are you still pretending like this for me! Are you crazy?! Sure enough, those who are weird are all a bit mentally unstable."

"Hmm... do you think this counts as me siding with the monsters? If that's the case, wouldn't my contribution be the highest after the monsters breach the city?"

Watching the monster horde rush towards the high wall at breakneck speed, Zhou Ke'er pondered for a moment, then stroked her chin and asked Ming Mengjing for her opinion.

No... even if he ordered the monsters to stop now, it would be too late! They're too far away! He's still on his throne, deep within the monster horde, and now the monsters are already at the city gates! How can he possibly stop them?!

Who knew these monsters would actually obey his commands, and run so fast! It's only been a dozen seconds! How did they get to the high wall?! Why aren't the other players putting in any effort?! At least hold them off for a minute, so Zhou Ke'er has time to stop them!

"..."

"It seems this mod is coming to an end soon. But this is clearly not my fault. It's because those players are too weak; they can't even hold off a monster horde of this magnitude."

Zhou Ke'er paused for a second, then made an excuse for herself with a straight face.

What's wrong? He didn't say anything wrong! You know, according to Chen Tian, ​​when they were defending this city, although the city eventually fell, they had to both evacuate the people and block the attack, and they still managed to hold out for many rounds. But now these players can't even hold out in the second wave?

While the number of players may also be a factor, there are only about a hundred players in total. Even if one player can stop three or four monsters, they can't stop the other monsters if they are determined to rush the city gate.

"...I will find you in reality! And then I won't be the only one coming. Your time to run rampant among humans is over!"

Seeing that the city gate on the high wall was already teetering on the verge of collapse, Ming Mengjing finally couldn't help but utter harsh words.

"Find me in real life? Sigh, what's the point? Even if you did find me, it wouldn't make a difference."

Zhou Ke'er curled up the corners of her mouth, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Don't be too confident in your abilities! We'll see who's truly capable then. To deal with a great monster like you, they'll definitely send a purple-rank exorcist..."

Seeing Zhou Ke'er's dismissive expression, Ming Mengjing said indignantly.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ke'er interrupted him: "You really don't understand. Why do you think I'm so arrogant? It's not because I'm confident in my own abilities, but... because I'm confident in my family background. Didn't you think of anything after hearing my surname? Don't forget, those 'exorcising gadgets' you exorcists use are all made by our Zhou family." (See Chapter 342 for details)

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er gave Ming Mengjing a pitying look and said, "You don't even know the people in the prop supplier's family... What am I supposed to say to you?"

Well... to be honest, Zhou Ke'er didn't know about this at first. She found out about it by chance during the bus incident, and hasn't had a chance to ask her family about it yet...

After all, they are the suppliers of exorcism tools, and they were keeping it a secret from Zhou Ke'er. But then Zhou Ke'er suddenly came to ask if that was true, and they asked her in return, "How did you know?" Zhou Ke'er replied, "Oh, because I've become a ghost and encountered an exorcist." Do you think she'll be betrayed?

Although given the loving atmosphere within the Zhou family, Zhou Ke'er felt it was unlikely, what if there were some overly well-meaning person who insisted on finding a way to restore her to her original state, and then tied her up for research? They were certainly capable of doing something like that...

"Varied...?"

Hearing this was like being struck by lightning; Ming Mengjing froze on the spot, which had a severe impact on her young mind.

"Hey, who knows, maybe in a few days we'll be colleagues? Being an exorcist would be pretty interesting, wouldn't it? I'll ask you to be my partner then."

Zhou Ke'er chuckled and squatted down, patting Ming Mengjing's shoulder. "After all, it's not difficult for the prop supplier to squeeze someone in, right? As for the evil spirits on your bodies, they can just be compressed into a certain part, like you two... They won't notice anything unusual. I can do this kind of thing."

"you!"

Ming Mengjing couldn't help but show a look of horror. Looking at Zhou Ke'er's nonchalant demeanor, she even began to worry—had the exorcist team already been infiltrated and torn apart by this kind of evil?

The group is called "Exorcists," but most of them are actually ghosts... Just thinking about it makes it feel... incredibly magical realism...

"Ah, the city gate has been breached. Looks like the module is about to end. Well then, let's leave it at that for now, and see you in real life~ Who knows, I might even have to call you senior then."

Zhou Ke'er winked at Ming Mengjing, "Right? Ming Mengjing~ Senior? You'll have to give this newbie a good talking-to~ Please take good care of me~"

438. The culprit wants a ranking? Eat shit!

"This guy has really given me a tough problem..."

The Black Pharaoh in the void sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "I just finished placing the 'Snail Annihilation City Text' here, and you let the monsters destroy the city? You're something else! If it were any other time, seeing you do this in a module guarded by someone else would be a pleasant surprise... but this won't do. I have to kick you out first."

The city gates have been breached; the module mission has failed…

[Given that players are failing missions at a much higher rate than expected, this mod will grant overtime missions to the current top 64 players...]

Players can click here to view their ranking...

Players ranked in the bottom 64 will be eliminated from the game in 15 seconds. Countdown begins...

[15...14...]

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhou Ke'er paused, immediately sensing something ominous. She stood up, no longer intending to frighten the pitiful Ming Mengjing, and instead sat back down on her throne to check her ranking.

[Player Zhou Ke'er, Rank: 128]

[Note: What ranking does the culprit who breached the city gates want?! Eat shit!]

Ah, it seems there were only 128 participants in this module. Zhou Ke'er actually came in last place, which is quite impressive... especially considering that some players had already been killed after the first round of the monster siege...

Was it really because commanding monsters to breach the city caused such a significant drop in rating?

But why should he?! This wasn't Zhou Ke'er's intention; he was just saying it offhand. Who knew those monsters would actually listen to him?! Is this reasonable?

This is like saying to a knife on the table, "Knife, knife, go kill someone!" and then the knife suddenly flies up and kills someone who is passing by... It's not like you controlled it, so how can you say it's your fault?

It wasn't me, it was the soldiers!

Zhou Ke'er wanted to loudly denounce this desolate land that had turned black into white and blurred the lines between right and wrong. Even in death, buried in a coffin, she would still shout out in her decaying voice...

[The countdown has ended, and player "Zhou Ke'er" is about to exit the module.]

Then Zhou Ke'er was ejected from the module.

This infuriated him so much that he quit the game on the spot—this game is better left unplayed! Fortune changes every thirty years, don't underestimate Zhou Ke'er's poverty!

Zhou Ke'er sighed and decided to go to Xu Qingming first to see if she could resolve his problem.

Ultimately, based on what Xu Qingming had revealed, Zhou Ke'er's strangeness had simply been activated. The same applies to those exorcists, except that they can control the strangeness within their bodies, while Xu Qingming cannot.

However... since it's something supernatural, Zhou Ke'er could try to absorb the supernatural energy from Xu Qingming first. Although, judging from the previous experience with Mingmengjing, it's highly unlikely to work. Well, even if it doesn't work, she could give Ming Qingfeng the nickname from Mingmengjing in the game, let him add him as a friend, and then seek help from the exorcists.

With that in mind, Zhou Ke'er went out and drove directly to Ming Qingfeng's residence.

By the way... ever since Zhou Ke'er gave him the gaming bracelet, this guy, Porius, has become increasingly addicted to games, to the point that he now plays longer than Zhou Ke'er. In any case, he's still playing games every time Zhou Ke'er logs off.

It's probably been a long time since they've logged off.

Loyalty to Cronus? What's that? Is it as fun as a game?

Zhou Ke'er maliciously guessed that this was what Bolius was thinking.

After silently cursing Poseidon in his mind, Zhou Ke'er got into the car contentedly, habitually reaching out to adjust the position of the rearview mirror—and then he inexplicably discovered...

Hmm? Why does my right eye look a little off?

Subconsciously leaning closer to the mirror to examine herself for a while, Zhou Ke'er confirmed... that something was wrong with her right eye. She had inexplicably gained an extra pupil, and there was a faint and blurry "壹" (one) etched on it.

In short, it's very unlucky.

However, after staring at that extra pupil for a while, even he couldn't help but feel a pang of unease. It was an indescribable, ineffable feeling, as if you were looking at yourself, but you could clearly sense that the emotions of that other self were completely different from your own.

But when you think carefully about what the difference is, you can't see it—because how can you tell a person's emotions just by looking at one eye? Eyes aren't a pie chart!

Forget it, since I can't figure out the reason, let's leave this matter aside for now.

For now, we should go to Xu Qingming's place and resolve his matters. Afterward, we can find an opportunity to go home and ask them about the exorcists.

"What's going on today? The weather was fine when I was home just now, how come there's such a thick fog now?"

As Zhou Ke'er drove on the road, she found that the fog around her was getting thicker and thicker, and she could hardly see the road ahead at all. Even with the high beams on full blast, they couldn't illuminate the ground.

But you can't just stop in the middle of the road! It would be terrible if a chain-reaction collision happened.
