Chapter 507: Chapter 183: It’s You

The black man’s head was reeling from the blow, and he groaned in pain on the ground.

His companions around him laughed and jeered, mocking him for having overexerted himself the night before and being like a limp shrimp. They did not know he had been attacked.

This was a curse, the Pressure Throne.

It caused no energy fluctuations, and even those with high energy couldn’t detect it. It was Li Changhe’s most hidden means of attack.

In this complex environment, it was impossible for Li Changhe to shoot and break the man’s leg with a single shot. But it did not mean he could not deal with these guys.

Moreover... this also served to send a message to the [Player] among those people.

Everyone better behave themselves!

"They’re really arrogant!" Someone looked at the moaning black man on the ground, their face twitching slightly, "Did you sense any energy fluctuations?"

"No, it should be a Curse-Type Skill, the other party is very cautious." Responded another: "But this is our home turf. If he exposes himself, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to kill him. Just like last time."

"Don’t be careless. The two groups that entered are from Hua Country. It seems that the Dream Cruise has reached some point in Hua Country, and the [Great Wall] is notoriously difficult to deal with. The current number of participants is 7, and we have no advantage in numbers. We don’t know if there are any members of the Great Wall among the other [Players]." Said the person who spoke first: "

"No matter how strong they are, they’re still LV10 and below players, no match for so many Abnormalities. It’s our tested rule with human lives that they can’t control them. This is our paradise. If they just use coins to leave honestly, I won’t make things difficult for them. But if they dare to target this ship, then I’ll have to kill a few more."

"Hua Country has an old saying, ’Capsizing in a drain!’"

"Don’t worry, in this chaotic environment, they can either blend in or rise up in rebellion. They can’t hide for long, and when that happens, I’ll have the Abnormalities take action. Whether they succeed or fail, they won’t find us. Now that the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary is back, we can hire her."

A middle-aged man wearing a black suit, with a plain face that didn’t stand out in the crowd, glanced at the group of people from Hua Country in the distance and replied: "Or we can do it now... Use the Abnormalities to lure them out."

"How do you plan to do that?"

"Randomly select a few targets to attack and let them descend into chaos. Although this was bound to happen eventually, you’re right. Having the Great Wall here is too dangerous for us. We must root it out as soon as possible. When the chaos starts, the players among them will inevitably reveal their vulnerabilities."

"Aren’t you afraid of luring out the Corpse Faces from the fifth floor? When more people die, more Abnormalities from the fifth floor will come out. Then it will be out of control."

"Don’t worry, just find someone who maintains order among those small groups on the other side. Just kill one casually." The two decided the fate of a person with just a few words.

Meanwhile...

Li Changhe and Monitor sat among the crowd. Since there were only two rooms, more people had to gather near the door and huddle together for warmth.

But without the security of being inside the room, things never felt safe.

Those Abnormalities that occasionally left the room, even if they didn’t make any moves towards humans, still instilled fear in the people and increased their psychological pressure.

Not to mention, there was also a group of ill-intentioned people.

Monitor and his students hadn’t slept a wink the previous night, fearing that their female classmates would be attacked when the lights in the hall went out.

And their defenses were not only aimed at the foreigners on the other side but also at the strangers around them.

This side was not united either; familiar people formed small groups, each on their guard.

In this chaotic environment, young students were more susceptible to harm, especially the girls.

Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, six students from Yanyun had been brought onto the cruise ship.

Counting as a relatively large group, plus the presence of two police officers, nobody made any rash moves for the time being.

Monitor quickly realized this and took two of the physically stronger students to help the police keep watch overnight.

There were even some altercations with outsiders during that time.

At that time, Monitor thought that if he had the physical qualities of a physical education teacher, he might have been able to deter others effectively.

However...

"Fortunately, I came along." Li Changhe said, nodding in understanding after listening to Monitor’s explanation: "I’m the only athlete in the class, and my physical fitness is the best. Plus, I have a gun, so I have enough deterrence."

"No... Actually, I’d rather none of you entered this damned place. But given the circumstances, this is the best we could hope for." Monitor replied wearily.

Although he was only thirty years old, he spent his time either teaching or on the road to class.

His health was not good to begin with, and the recent series of events had left him utterly exhausted.

"Although you look decent, talk a lot of nonsense, tease teachers, and have a puppy love with the class leader, but now we can only rely on you."

"... You." Li Changhe’s mouth twitched, looking at Monitor’s haggard appearance.

He couldn’t argue with that. This teacher, who had used psychological tricks to protect his students, was someone Li Changhe couldn’t refuse.

So he nodded and said: "Don’t worry, Monitor. I’m not that kind of person. Get some rest."

He knew what Monitor was thinking.

In this chaotic environment, someone like him with good physical fitness and a gun might join forces with those ill-intentioned people.

By mentioning the girl indirectly, Monitor was actually hoping that Li Changhe wouldn’t become that kind of person.

This was a common psychological tactic used by psychologists: unconsciously mentioning someone close to the target person.

This prompted the person to think more about their actions, and thus, refrain from making heartbreaking choices.

After Monitor had fallen asleep leaning against the wall, Li Changhe glanced around.

Sure enough, he saw many prying eyes. Some were looking at the girls, while others were eyeing the gun in Li Changhe’s hand.

"Their thoughts are easy to understand. Since they’re trapped in this place and can’t get out, they might as well think about how to make their lives more comfortable. Just like those people on the other side." A fellow student whispered: "The more extreme ones are thinking about how to get rid of us, the annoying boys. I was punched hard in the dark last night."

"Don’t worry, when it’s time to shoot, I won’t hesitate." Li Changhe’s voice didn’t lower, or rather, it was deliberately meant for those people to hear.

If he weren’t worried about triggering the Abnormalities’ abilities, Li Changhe would strangle those who dared to cause trouble at this time.

What were they thinking, creating chaos right now?

At this moment, the middle-aged man in a black suit happened to look over.

Seeing the gun in Li Changhe’s hand, an idea struck him.

"You’ll do."

He quietly blended into the crowd, heading up the stairs.

"I’ve memorized his face. I’m going to hire the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary now!"
