Li Jie was stunned by the shout.

Looking up, he saw a figure standing in mid-air, hands resting on a shining golden sword.

The golden light illuminated his clothes, casting a holy glow over him. His posture and demeanor were elegant and noble, like a king waiting to be attended to.

Li Jie: "?"

What is he doing?

Showing off?

Yan Shu and the other players were also puzzled.

It's one thing to show off, after all, he does look good, but why is his voice so loud?

And what did he just shout?

Weird Rules in the Blood Mist Zone, come down and talk?

Players: "?"

Is he treating Weird Rules as a living being?

Li Jie, realizing this, felt a little annoyed. This was his first speech in his life - both in the game and in reality. He had finally mustered up the courage and emotion, but before he could even say his name, he was inexplicably interrupted. It was like watching a movie and it suddenly freezes at a crucial moment. Li Jie felt so uncomfortable.

What's even more frustrating is that all the attention of the people in the square was drawn to the figure, making it impossible for him to continue. Li Jie was so angry that he wanted to go up and punch the guy.

Why did he choose to have the first speech in the Blood Mist Zone?

Apart from being able to show that he is not afraid of Weird Rules, isn't it also to prevent Gu Chi and the others from coming to "cause trouble" and compete for the right to speak? Who knew that this guy's voice was so loud, and he could even fly. He could steal the limelight from a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Having a sound-based skill is really something!

Do you think that by shouting so loudly, Weird Rules can understand human speech?

It's not even a living thing.

Even if it could understand, it must be an extremely powerful existence. Why should it come down just because you call it?

Li Jie was full of complaints but didn't know where to start.

Until the sky in front of him suddenly brightened a bit.

The sky over the City of Intrigue was always gray, and the people living here had long been accustomed to it. The players naturally noticed the change in light. At this moment, the brightness was significantly higher than usual, and they subconsciously looked up, witnessing an unforgettable scene.

The huge gray curtain that had never dissipated in the sky above the city suddenly tore open, like a canvas being cut open at one corner, then torn and rolled up, leaving a large blank gap.

The bright sunlight shone through the gap, almost blinding.

Li Jie widened his eyes.

He found that the torn part of the shadow showed no sign of healing.

The surrounding gray mist undulated like water waves, but it never closed the gap.

It was like a pool of dirty water being punched, and the surface never recovered, always remaining concave.

Li Jie: "?"

Players: "?"

Is this reasonable?

What's even more unreasonable is yet to come.

The rolled-up shadow was dark and deep, like thick ink. It floated down from the sky and, to the astonishment of everyone, turned into a figure wearing a black robe, surrounded by an evil aura, and "plop" knelt in front of Gu Chi.

Even though both of them were in mid-air, it sounded like he was kneeling on a stone slab.

Li Jie: "???"

Yan Shu: "???"

Players: "???"

For a moment, Li Jie even thought he was having a mental breakdown and hallucinating.

What did he see?

Weird Rules has a physical form?

And it's a person?

And it's kneeling in front of Gu Chi?

Li Jie: "???"

Is this sword so powerful?

At this moment, everyone in the City of Intrigue stopped in their tracks, looking up at the sky in panic and unease.

What was happening in front of them had exceeded their understanding.

In their minds, Weird Rules was like a demon god, and even the powerful Creepy Baron couldn't kill it. Whether Weird Rules was tangible or intangible, it was a taboo-like existence, not to be defied or mentioned. But now, it was kneeling in front of a man?

Is this black shadow really Weird Rules?

Many people found it hard to believe.

It's not that they didn't want to believe, but they dared not.

Weird Rules had brought them too much fear. Compared to Weird Rules' submission, they were more willing to accept that this was a grand magic show, just to let them vent their anger.

Li Jie couldn't believe it either.

Reason told him it shouldn't be like this, it couldn't be like this.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

If Weird Rules were really so easy to kill, why did Evelyn fail in the first place?

Evelyn had a sword - not only a sword, but she also had all three plot items, yet even so, she couldn't kill Weird Rules, let alone make Weird Rules kneel down in human form. Why should Gu Chi be able to?

Not to mention the method, Gu Chi just shouted, what's the difference between that and Evelyn cursing and swearing?

It just doesn't make sense!

Weird Rules must be fake!

However, what happened next made Li Jie have to believe.

The black figure knelt in front of Gu Chi like a prisoner awaiting death, and Gu Chi placed the big sword on its neck and directly chopped off its head!- This kind of beheading in the street can greatly eliminate the fear and hatred in people's hearts.

Forcing Weird Rules to materialize and kneel down consumes much more than simply killing Weird Rules, but it only deducts 1/3 of the blue bar.

There's no way, Dao Yun can do whatever he wants.

As Gu Chi's sword fell, pure black smoke rose from the severed neck of the humanoid Weird Rules, and the unclear head fell to the ground, also turning into a black smoke that disappeared without a trace when the sunlight shone on it.

At this moment, a faint cracking sound rang in everyone's hearts.

Gu Chi not only beheaded the Weird Rules, but also broke the chains of fear in their hearts.

Andrew, who had just arrived in the Blood Mist Zone, seemed to sense something. He opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and looked up at Gu Chi.

Gu Chi nodded.

Andrew smiled silently, and as he smiled, he made a sound.

Everyone around him looked at him, as if waiting for him to burst into a blood mist.

But one second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Three seconds passed.

Andrew did not explode.

Instead, his laughter grew louder, containing both sorrow and joy, drifting in the quiet Blood Mist Zone, lingering for a long time.

People on the square also trembled and spoke up.

He was brave enough to try.

"I..."

"I can..."

"I can speak?"

No one answered.

The same question was the best answer.

"We can really speak?"

"Oh my god, I can actually speak in the Blood Mist Zone!?"

"We can all speak, we can all speak, hahaha!"

After a brief silence and probing, the square erupted into a loud cheer, the sound deafening, infecting the people in the Spirit Realm and the Weathered Zone.

"He actually can kill Weird Rules!"

The Blood Mist Zone had regained its brightness, and the fear gradually dissipated, and the taboo that could not be mentioned was also broken.

"We are free... truly free!"

No one doubted whether the head that Gu Chi had beheaded was a Weird Rules—the gap in the sky and the voices of the people in the Blood Mist Zone were the best proof.

Gu Chi spoke again, "Spirit Realm Weird Rules, come down."

The sky became brighter, and there was more sunlight.

The second black head fell to the ground.

Andrew crossed the boundary between the Blood Mist Zone and the Spirit Realm, and laughed until tears streamed down his face.

More and more people no longer suppressed themselves, and the emotions they had been accumulating for a long time poured out like a flood. They cried out loud and laughed out loud.

"To hell with Weird Rules! You bitch! Your days are numbered!"

"I'm going to turn you into a target, and throw darts at you a hundred times a day!"

Gu Chi continued to shout, "Withered Zone Weird Rules."

"Stone Statue Zone Weird Rules."

"Weathered Zone Weird Rules."

One head after another fell to the ground.

One area after another was liberated.

The shadow over the city dissipated completely, and the world in front of the people suddenly became brighter than ever before.

At this moment, they realized that their former selves had always lacked a certain color, a color called light.

Le Ge stood in the alley, looking at the clear blue sky, as if a girl was smiling at him. Le Ge's lips trembled, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but cover his face, sitting down on the ground, crying out loud.

In the coffee shop by the window, the sunlight was mostly blocked by the awning, with half of the table in the light and the other half in darkness. Daisy sat in the bright spot, the shadow of her bangs on her forehead was clearly visible, and she quietly looked at the photo of her mother in her wallet. As she looked, tears began to flow down her face. The tears ran down her cheeks, dripping onto the photo, reflecting the joyful colors of her memories.

Daisy couldn't help but smile, and it seemed that Cui Sili in the photo also smiled.

For a moment, it seemed like everyone was smiling.

Except Li Jie couldn't smile.

There was a man next to him who was excitedly dancing around, "The kind-hearted speaker, you didn't deceive us. He really led us out of the darkness, killed the Weird Rules, and gained true freedom!"

"He is our hero!"

"The hero of this city!"

As he spoke, the man rushed up and hugged Li Jie tightly, kissing him fiercely.

Li Jie: "..."

I didn't mean that!

I'm the one who's the hero, not him!

Damn it!

The process of clearing the instance is clearly to first gain reputation, then weaken the power of Weird Rules, and finally kill Weird Rules.

But what is this man doing?

He actually directly killed Weird Rules...

And only then did he gain reputation.

Not only did he reverse the order, but he also skipped the second most important step.

Li Jie: "?"

Is this how the game is played?

You completely disregarded the routine for clearing the instance, didn't you?

And why can this man kill Weird Rules that haven't been weakened?

Why does Weird Rules listen to him so obediently? How does he not know?

Li Jie doesn't understand.

Yan Shu also doesn't understand.

Two old players don't understand, and the other players can't understand either.

The players who did nothing don't care, but the players at the dance party can't help but regret.A few days ago, when they were clearing the Shadow, they saw Gu Chi - the number of people changed from three to four, and the new player who joined the team was the ponytailed girl who sang very well, indicating that Gu Chi and the others were not completely without new people.

If they had known this result earlier, they would have shamelessly approached them. Even if they couldn't get the task points, it would be good to add friends and develop connections...

Now that the team is empty, it feels very uncomfortable.

But it doesn't matter, the sorrows and joys of people are not the same.

The loneliness of ten people cannot affect the revelry of millions of people.

Weird Rules no longer exist, and there is nothing more uplifting and worthy of celebration than this.

The chief of police was moved to tears, he laughed and fired two shots into the air as a salute, and called everyone in the station to gather at the police station door, standing in formation, saluting Gu Chi from a distance.

Andrew's luxury car slowly drove on the street, with ink banners on both sides of the car.

The left side read: "Kristin Rose Club is open for free tonight"

The right side read: "Respect to our hero - Mr. Gu!"

In the statue area, many bars also put up a small blackboard outside the door: "The boss will pay for all expenses tonight!"

"From today, I think we should have an extra holiday."

"What holiday?"

"Freedom Day."

FreeWine, FreePeople.

The once lifeless city gradually became lively, and this change was visible to the naked eye, especially for players like Dr. Chen.

The previous City of Intrigue could not be described as a black and white photo, but it was not far from it. Now the City of Intrigue has more vivid colors, both in people and in the sky. This is the way a city should be. There is sadness, but there is also laughter.

Before this, Gu Chi gave each of them a BUFF of "the next punch will kill Weird Rules", but they didn't use it.

Dr. Chen naturally wouldn't compete with Gu Chi for points.

Huang Ya was satisfied with being able to clear the level.

Ling Mao didn't need to be mentioned, after the instance, she would forget what Gu Chi looked like, so it was a win to take another look now.

The three of them stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the transformation of the city.

Dr. Chen sighed softly.

This instance didn't take off, so they could only bring Gu Chi to fly again next time.

The final goal was achieved, and the instance officially entered the one-minute countdown.

Gu Chi enjoyed the cheers of the people for a while, completed the last achievement, and then returned to the hotel, and brushed a bunch of Enlightenment Elixirs, putting them in a candy jar.

Dr. Chen was puzzled: "Can you take it out?"

"No, just for fun." Gu Chi said, "I plan to put it with Andrew, it might come in handy in the future."

This was his first time in the Distorted Land, but it definitely wouldn't be the last.

Dr. Chen sighed, "You are meticulous."

"That's nothing compared to you." Gu Chi said, "You don't have any."

Dr. Chen: "?"

Gu Chi eagerly suggested, "Do you want to transform into Tian Tian again? I can fulfill your wish."

Dr. Chen firmly refused, "No, thanks."

"There are only thirty seconds left." Gu Chi kindly reminded.

Dr. Chen wanted to kick him: "Not even in thirty seconds!"

"Boring." Gu Chi pouted, then looked at the two girls, "What about you, any wishes?"

9999 Dao Yun's words could barely pass as a genie.

Huang Ya playfully blinked, "Big brother, can you give me a friend slot?"

She obviously misunderstood Gu Chi's intention.

But Gu Chi didn't refuse, and nodded in agreement, "I'll add you later."

There were twenty seconds left.

Ling Mao tentatively asked, "Transform again?"

Huang Ya: "..."

Dr. Chen: "..."

Gu Chi: "..."

Are you really a masochist?

Ling Mao's face turned slightly red, showing a mischievous smile, "I'm just kidding."

How many sincere words are said in a joking manner? Gu Chi looked meaningfully at the girl.

Dr. Chen suddenly had an idea, "Why don't we do a big activity?"

He wasn't sure if Gu Chi's special ability was Dao Yun, but being able to alter system permissions was quite powerful. Maybe it could work.

"What big activity?" Gu Chi asked.

"Evelyn." Dr. Chen showed a malicious smile, "See if you can bring her over, I'll mark her, and if we have the chance, we can directly GANK her offline."

Gu Chi: "..."

My Tian Tian, you are really bad!

Is the game currency named after your nickname?

There were only ten seconds left.

Gu Chi asked, "What if we get stuck in the instance with her?"

"It won't happen." Dr. Chen said, "This BUG has been basically fixed. When the countdown ends, all players will be forcibly kicked out of the instance."

"Then I'll try."

Gu Chi took a Dao Yun and said, "Bring the player Evelyn to me."

He didn't have much hope, as this was already in the realm of time travel.

But the result...

【Dao Yun - 9998】

Gu Chi: "..."

It worked?

The next second, the air around everyone distorted.A blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl in a deep blue dress appeared in the living room, her hair styled in elegant princess curls. Her delicate face was fair with a hint of blush, her features refined, and her youthful spirit lively. Especially those eyes, they seemed as if they could speak.

Gu Chi almost instantly understood the meaning in her eyes—

"What the f∧ck?!"

The sudden shift in the scene took Evelyn by surprise, her little face full of uncertainty and doubt.

Gu Chi: "Hello."

Evelyn, with a wary look in her eyes: "Who are you?"

She could actually speak Chinese.

Gu Chi: "My surname is Gu, my given name is De Bai, full name Gu De Bai."

Evelyn: "???"

【"City of Intrigue" strategy completion!】
