Chapter 165: NPC Guards the Body! (Three in One)_4
Rotten Persimmon received a prompt in the last second—
["Black Messenger"'s affection towards you has decreased! It is currently hostile!]
The players present exclaimed in surprise.
They were shocked by this sudden and unexpected turn of events.
The five players from God's Love Guild, for some reason, went crazy and suddenly attacked "Black Messenger" during their quest submission, only to be instantly killed on the spot.
And it wasn't over yet!
Everyone saw a pair of black wings unfurl behind "Black Messenger," who then soared into the sky.
"Wow! That's so cool!"
"Damn!!"
"Let's go! Follow and see!"
A large group of players followed the direction in which Chen Lun flew, quickly arriving at the center of Emerald Town only to be startled to find they had come to the Resurrection Point.
Rotten Persimmon and his four teammates had just respawned not long ago, standing by the roadside cross sign, chatting.
Suddenly, a few ethereal black feathers fell from the sky; they looked up and saw a dark figure descending.
Boom!!
A loud noise.
Rotten Persimmon and his four teammates were directly stamped into minced meat by Chen Lun's foot and once again turned into dissipating beams of light.
The chasing players stopped in their tracks, their faces showing astonishment.
"Holy shit! They've even been chased by the NPC to the Resurrection Point!"
"This is too miserable! Better to log off and lie low for a bit!"
"This game is too scary. The NPC even knows how to camp corpses!"
Rotten Persimmon reemerged from the crossroads sign with a confused look on his face, his teammates also gradually appearing.
Turning their heads, they saw the man with the black flat cap standing silently to one side.
His face was hazy with a black fog, no emotions visible, but it carried an extremely chilling sense.
"Quick, log off!!"
Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Rotten Persimmon shouted.
But it was already too late.
Boom!!
A blazing flame decapitation strike swept horizontally, Rotten Persimmon and his teammates just stood there dumbly as everything above their necks turned to charcoal, crumbling to ashes with a gust of wind.
They turned into beams of light once again.
More and more players discovered that the expected NPC, "Black Messenger," who should have been on the western street corner of the town, was gone. Upon inquiring, they learned that there were players who had attacked him and were pursued. Out of curiosity, they rushed over here.
In front of everyone's eyes.
Rotten Persimmon and his four companions respawned for the last time, their scalps tingling as they stood there as if struck by lightning.
The unrelenting shadow of the black cap stood right in front of them.
"Mr. 'Black Messenger'! We know we were wrong! Please forgive us!!"
Rotten Persimmon shouted loudly.
He realized that they were still in combat mode, completely unable to log off. Not wanting to waste all of their resurrection attempts, they chose to beg for mercy.
In response, "Black Messenger" chuckled lightly.
"Mr. Rotten Persimmon, you should learn to be responsible, rather than bowing your head."
Boom!!
Flames engulfed them once more.
With a burst of screams, they completely vanished on the spot.
Resurrection entered a cooldown; there was no way to log in again that day.
In the game, this meant waiting five days before they could log in again.
'... I'll arrange a few birds to keep watch here. If you dare come up after five days, I'll have you guys shark bait.'
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Those who dared challenge his authority needed to be punished; otherwise, these players really wouldn't take him seriously.

Rotten Persimmon contacted the president of God's Love Guild, "Shiren," offline with tears he could not shed.
He recounted everything that had happened to him in Emerald Town.
Now, desperate because he couldn't log in, he had no choice but to seek help from the guild.
"Shiren" was silent for a moment, and finally said:
"Rotten Persimmon, you're truly a freaking genius!"
The other four members of God's Love Guild who had been mishandling things with him went to "Shiren" to complain, annoying the guild leader to no end.
In the end, having no other recourse, "Shiren" called on Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo, who had participated in the beta test, to ask for their opinion.
After hearing Rotten Persimmon's story.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo fell silent in turn.
After a while,
They asked about the appearance of "Black Messenger" and the capabilities he demonstrated. Subsequently, when they heard someone had posted a video on the forum, they went to take a look.
In the end,
They only gave one piece of advice:
"Lay low for a few days. After he leaves, hurry out of Emerald Town and don't play in this area anymore."
