Chapter 510: Chapter 186: Provoking a Beating

A blood-red cross sign emerged over Li Changhe’s head, greatly alarming the Australians who watched from afar.

Having been here for quite some time, they understood the peculiar characteristics of every abnormality.

It was the mark of prey for Little Red Riding Hood, the mercenary. All those marked would eventually meet their demise under her sickle.

Little Red Riding Hood would not consider if her assaults would harm others along with her target.

Every time she would strike, the ensuing escape or resistance would result in heavy casualties on the side of the humans.

And the death of those people would attract more abnormalities, ultimately leading to long periods of chaos.

This was the most dangerous moment on the cruise, where safety could only be guaranteed within a room.

On the side of Hua Country’s people, some could understand what the others were implying. Their faces also turned peculiar.

They only had one room, with an elderly Australian woman kindly offering shelter. It was not possible to allow everyone to seek refuge, as those left outside would unquestionably meet their deaths in such a situation.

"Quick, get away from that guy!"

"Don’t go near him!"

"We can’t just watch him die, there are so many of us!"

"Idiot, if you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!"

"Son, quickly hide inside the room."

"No, that would waste a precious spot."

People reacted differently. Some, in fear of getting dragged down, desperately distanced themselves from Li Changhe.

Some thought that they could probably fight back against only one abnormality.

Some were urging Li Changhe to hide inside the room for the sake of his life.

Within the crowd, the Earth Knight was completely bewildered. Wasn’t it said that this Little Red Riding Hood was one of their own?

As he adjusted his state, he stayed behind to observe the expressions of nearby people, wondering to himself, "Did the [Player] on the other side make his move?"

He was not worried about Li Changhe’s safety. Little Red Riding Hood was one of their own, so this probably was just play-acting along the current situation.

A similarly hidden middle-aged youth within the crowd had a flickering gaze, as if hesitating about something.

In the end, he also followed the crowd and distanced from Li Changhe.

He was the last [Player], a level 8 [Flag-bearing Brave: Beacon of War].

The reason why he was there had to do with his [Player Organization: Awei Protection Association].

Because in their mission to conquer a task, they came to know about the existence of Dream Cruise and had some internal knowledge about the ship.

However, they did not know the accurate location of Dream Cruise, only knowing that the Dream Ark would appear in ’point’.

Hence, they arranged for members to infiltrate the ’points’ in various countries, waiting for the appearance of the ship based on sheer luck. And he was assigned as a member within the ’point’ in Yanyun.

Fortunately, after killing a fairy-tale creature, he successfully entered the Dream Cruise.

Being a [Player] at his level, he was a shrewd one and clearly knew that someone intentionally created the chaos, in order to draw out the hidden Players from the crowd.

The other side could control the abnormalities, revealing their identity in such a situation was equivalent to pronouncing a death sentence on themselves.

On the other side, Monitor was woken by the commotion of the crowd.

He saw the sign over Li Changhe’s head, heard the ongoing chatter from a distance, and instantly lost all sleepiness.

"Wait... let my student hide in the room!"

He urgently shouted at the person about to close the door not far away, "Please, he is going to die!"

This was the only way to save Li Changhe. He pleaded ceaselessly for it.

However, the people did not respond to him, instead, they shut the door tight.

His classmates were also at a loss, as everything had happened too suddenly.

Before they could react, everyone smelt a strong scent of blood.

A blood-red figure appeared at the left stairway entrance on the first floor.

There were still people in the hall who did not have time to return to their rooms or had no rooms to return to.

At this moment, everyone instinctively covered their mouths, worrying that their suppressed panting would alarm this terrifying abnormality.

In an instant, the noisy hall became eerily quiet.

Within the crowd, Beacon of War looked at Li Changhe, finding his face turning white and his expression fearful. The moment Li Changhe saw Little Red Riding Hood, he instantly stood up and darted towards the stairway on the right.

"A quick response and not a bad speed," he evaluated internally, "Looks like a student, probably a sports student?"

On the other hand, Little Red Riding Hood snorted, with speed so quick it was almost imperceptible, turning into a fleeting red shadow, crossing the spacious hall in an instant, and closely chasing after him.

People could only see a red figure flashing before their eyes.

"Such great speed!" Beacon of War thought, watching the scene unfold, "So this is the abnormality of the fourth floor? It’s indeed powerful. It seems the fifth floor really does have what we need."

As for whether Li Changhe lived or died, he did not particularly care.

Soon after, he heard desperate screams and gunshots from the stairwell.

Then all fell quiet...

Monitor’s body trembled as he slid down the wall.

He had just witnessed one of his students getting murdered in front of him, and he couldn’t do anything.

Monitor was feeling extremely down and his thoughts were complicated, he didn’t even notice an extra black eye under the eye of the disciplinary monitor standing next to him.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu was comforting Monitor and the students using his skills, and at the same time scornfully thought, "Flirting with her in front of Xiao Nan. You indeed deserved to be beaten!"

On the other side, Li Changhe was sobbing while firing three rounds into the stairwell.

He gave others a sense of desperate struggle against the abnormality.

Just his wailing alone could make anyone imagine what kind of torment he was going through.

But in truth, he wasn’t an excellent actor — it was in pursuit of a realistic effect.

The young lady twisted his waist.

The effect was great indeed. So great that Li Changhe began to question whether his 12 points physique was for show.

"Alright, I didn’t even use much strength," Xiao Nan patted Li Changhe’s waist, interrupting his acting.

At that moment, the monster everyone was afraid of was sitting on the steps of the stairwell, assisting her boyfriend in his charade.

Her red cloak spread behind her like a blooming rose, while Li Changhe sat next to her wailing.

If you didn’t know, you might think domestic violence was occuring.

"Do I seem like someone petty?" she said with some dissatisfaction, "Like someone who would take it out on others?"

Li Changhe looked at the girl who was still sulky and teased, "The disciplinary monitor got another black eye."

"He deserved it! Just because we were in the instance, he thought he could..." Xiao Nan huffed, not wanting to finish her sentence.

The disciplinary monitor had exposed too much of her secrets and even dared to be a third wheel.

If moving too much wouldn’t attract the attention of outsiders, she wanted to kick him again.

At first, Li Changhe wanted to observe a moment of silence for the disciplinary monitor. But thinking about how this guy had played so many tricks on him before...

So, after half a moment of silence, Li Changhe still said, "Right, he deserved it!"
