Chapter 124: Chapter 122: Taking the place of the ’Deceiving Apostle’...

The leader of the ’Death Cult’ fell into deep thought,

Directly exposing the disguise of ’Mr. Black Hat’ and gaining the favor and reward of the ’Deceiving Apostle’ was undoubtedly the quickest way to get immediate benefits.

But the key issue was... the game character had a grand scheme, unwilling to live under the shadow of the ’Deceiving Apostle,’ and was secretly active for a certain ambition.

Choosing ’Option One,’

Although it could yield short-term benefits, it would disrupt the subsequent plans.

Yet directly using a ’fellow countryman’s communication’ to talk to this mysterious player would bring another problem... How powerful was this person, and did they have the qualifications to collaborate with him?

Perhaps observing first and making a decision later was a better option.

The leader of the ’Death Cult’ quickly made a decision and chose ’Option Two’... to observe if this player was worth pulling into his orbit.

The text continued refreshing.

"The transaction ends, and you see the fake ’Mr. Black Hat’ leave the vicinity of the ’Deceiving Apostle’s’ avatar, disappearing into the hall shortly thereafter."

"Vanished?"

"You were surprised, carefully scanning and searching everywhere, but still couldn’t find any trace of him."

"Could it be that after obtaining the ’Foolish Snake Skin,’ he already left?"

"This thought floated into your mind, and you immediately felt regretful, thinking perhaps you should have exposed the fake ’Mr. Black Hat’ earlier to gain the favor of the ’Deceiving Apostle.’ Now, it was too late."

"Suddenly, you made a strange discovery,"

"The Evil God believers in the hall... seemed to be decreasing."

"At first, you weren’t certain because the participants of the ’secret gathering,’ all Evil God believers, were people who shunned the light; it was perfectly normal for them to leave the hall and sneak away out of sight to conduct hidden transactions."

"But soon, you became sure that something was wrong."

"Those who left were not coming back, and a faint, lingering stench of blood began to waft through the building."

"Very soon, the missing ’Evil God believers’ were found."

"Your expression froze, your eyes went blank, and your heart felt as though it had been ruthlessly clenched. You knew it wasn’t because of your weak tolerance, but because the scene before your eyes was horrifying beyond measure."

"Around twenty Evil God corpses were arrayed in the hall. Some were decapitated, some chopped into forty or fifty pieces, and others were so utterly shattered that their remains couldn’t even be pieced back together."

"The stench of blood,

The reek of filth,

It was like a slaughterhouse for pigs."

"Was this all the work of the mysterious man who disguised himself as ’Mr. Black Hat’ to infiltrate the secret gathering? Hunting down Evil God believers, letting bloodshed bloom into gruesome flowers."

"Just how terrifying a power did he possess?"

The text stopped refreshing.

The leader of the ’Death Cult’ froze, his previously serene expression now completely gone. As he carefully reread the content above, he felt as though an invisible giant hand gripped his heart tightly.

He already saw this fake ’Mr. Black Hat’ as a mysterious player of great importance. After all, the [Deceit World] had just come into being not long ago. Because of the soul system game mechanics and the three-resurrection limit every day, the storyline progression couldn’t be fast. Advancing the text to the stage of ’God’s Fortress’ placed him among the top players worldwide.

Yet the leader of the ’Death Cult’ could never have anticipated just how fearsome this person turned out to be.

Capable of hunting ’Evil God believers.’

It should be understood that those attending this secret gathering had all received the blessings of ’Unknown Evil Gods,’ wielding the powers of authority and able to utilize symbols of their god’s influence.

This was not something an ordinary player could contend with—no, not even face directly.

But this player,

Had already begun targeting and slaughtering ’Evil God believers’?

Even if he had used some kind of immensely powerful magical item with unimaginable negative effects and restrictions, rendering it unusable for a long time after, this achievement already surpassed all current players.

"Thank goodness for not choosing Option One, for not exposing the fake identity of ’Mr. Black Hat’ on the spot... Offending such a terrifying high-level player would be an utterly unwise decision."

"Perhaps trying to communicate would be worth a shot."

At this moment, the leader of the ’Death Cult’ began seriously considering initiating the ’fellow countryman’s communication,’ although now was not yet the right time.

The text continued refreshing.

"You stand near the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar.’"

"While you’re still pondering, terrifying power suddenly erupts nearby, seemingly out of nowhere. In the air, countless fine, coldly glinting but barely visible threads weave together, forming an intricate execution net that shreds the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar’ into countless pieces of flesh."

"You were caught in the crossfire,"

"You died."

To strike against the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar’ and successfully destroy it, moreover causing the ’game character’ collateral death—despite assuming the mysterious player’s strength to be immense, it now became glaringly obvious that it was far underestimated.

"The ’Deceiving Apostle,’ even as an avatar, possessed tremendous power. Yet this mysterious player directly tore it apart."

"This perhaps transcends into the realm of ’Positional Power.’"

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the leader of the ’Death Cult’s’ forehead—an almost unprecedented occurrence. It was clear that this mysterious player’s actions had profoundly shaken him.

The text continued refreshing.

"Your soul familiarly arrives at the edge of the River of Death, where the blessing fire of Destiny Power flickers, rewriting the conclusion of your death. You reopen your eyes at the ’secret gathering.’"

"You see the mysterious person disguised as ’Mr. Black Hat’ has vanished from the hall, presumably already departed."

"Suddenly, a power from the Order realm surges in from outside. New Order forces take form, followed by the angry cries of ’Patrol Officers’ from the Valuer Organization."

"The battle persisted until late into the night. Many Evil God believers perished, but you, under the protection of the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar,’ managed to escape the secret gathering along with a small number of survivors."

"You observe the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar,’ furious, its illusory figure twisting with rage. Hatred-filled ravings echo incessantly. In its view, the betrayal of ’Wisdom Divine Envoy’ Salma was the cause of all this, and it swore to make that treacherous betrayer pay dearly."

"In truth, it wasn’t the ’Wisdom Divine Envoy’ Salma who betrayed you, but rather someone framing her. You kept this realization to yourself, knowing that voicing it now would only be a thankless, low-EQ move."

"Suddenly, a thought struck you..."

"That same mysterious individual from a distant land may have gone to great lengths to orchestrate this entire setup to pin the blame on ’Wisdom Divine Envoy’ Salma—likely due to a prior grudge. It’s entirely possible that the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar’ seeking vengeance on Salma was within his calculations."

"Perhaps he’ll be near Salma’s residence, witnessing her wretched downfall."

"This could be your opportunity to track him down."

"The more you thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so you decided to act immediately."

"Following the lead of the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar,’ you and the surviving Evil God believers arrived near the residence of ’Wisdom Divine Envoy’ Salma."

"You saw Salma, her gaze filled with confusion, doubt, terror, and disbelief, subjected to inhumane torment. Her piercing screams echoed throughout the dark night."

"You found an excuse to slip away from the ’Deceiving Apostle’s avatar.’"

"You used the ’fellow countryman’s communication.’"

"You called out for that mysterious individual from a distant homeland."

"You received no response,"

"Still, no response."

"Had you guessed wrong? Was that person not here?"

"Disappointed, you were about to give up when, suddenly, a figure appeared in the dim light. It was as if painted into existence by an invisible brush, slowly emerging in the darkness, wearing the familiar ’Black Hat’ mask."

"He asked you... What do you want from me?"

...

...

The perspective shifts back to another side.

In a rented apartment, fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Yang Qizhou pondered for a moment before finally deciding to accept.

There were many reasons,

The first being that the other party had proven capable of locating the ’game character,’ indicating he had already seen through the fact that Yang was a ’player.’ Predictably, he had also deduced that the attendee disguised as ’Mr. Black Hat’ wasn’t genuine. Given that the likely interface decision appeared when it came to exposing him, yet was not chosen, it implied a current goodwill or intent for communication.

Second...

The man was a servant of the ’Nameless One,’ who had replaced the ’Star Color Ancient God’ as a mysterious demon. From this player, Yang might gain information about this ’demon.’

Most importantly...

The decision moment had triggered a save point. With the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ Yang could simply exploit the situation even if it backfired.

Situations like this were all too familiar to him.

"Exploitation may be a despicable act, but I enjoy it. Hahaha."

Following the completion of ’Option One,’ the text refreshed again.

...

...

"You lifted the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ stepping out of concealment."

"You asked him... What do you seek from me?"

"The servant of the Nameless One did not immediately reveal his intentions but expressed, in a somewhat veiled manner, his deep admiration for your actions as the fake ’Mr. Black Hat’ in hunting down Evil God believers during the gathering."

"It was an attempt to establish rapport."

"You saw through his intentions, discerning that he undoubtedly had ulterior motives."

"You wore an expression of curiosity and asked... Servant of the Nameless One, since you had already seen through the fake ’Mr. Black Hat,’ why didn’t you expose me on the spot? Why choose to conceal it and now come seeking me in private?"

"What he said next surprised you."

"He said."

"Because I aim to take the place of the ’Deceiving Apostle.’"
