Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 76: Suspicious Person

After getting some information from Li Lingjiu, Zi Liyuan continued his search on the back of Lao Tie.

Those who collect bodies are either death-related professionals or have some unspeakable purpose.

If it was the former, Zi Liyuan planned to communicate with them, possibly to trade information and, since they had stolen a few bodies from him, he felt they should at least compensate him, right?

If it was the latter, things would get interesting. What if the martial exam replica was infiltrated by a secret organization, carrying out some shady conspiracies? If he could disrupt their plans, wouldn’t he get extra points in the college entrance exam?

As for the first place on the leaderboard, he wasn’t in any rush. There were still more than twenty days left, and he could just ask some masters for help to get a hefty score.

At that moment, Shen Yurou had activated her assassination mode.

Having been inexplicably surrounded and attacked before, she had held her breath with frustration. After escaping their clutches, she took up her sniper rifle and started assassinating them.

With a hunting range of 1200 meters and a talent skill that naturally came with a headshot lock-on, taking down those bastards was a piece of cake.

From initially being unskilled to later changing positions with each shot, she slowly grasped the essence of those modern-day snipers on Earth, making an immediate getaway if she missed with a single shot.

The group that had tried to kill her were truly unlucky, having encountered such a petty woman. They had been pursued relentlessly from dawn to dusk, targeted with sinister shots aimed at their heads or chests.

While they weren’t lethal hits, critical hits to vital areas were enough for these not-so-powerful professional contestants to be in serious trouble.

After a day of sniping, seven or eight people had been kicked out of the martial exam replica by Shen Yurou, which also brought her dozens of points.

And as the points kept rolling in, Shen Yurou’s rage, which had begun to dissipate, flared up once more. It burned even more fiercely than before when she just wanted revenge.

So, forcibly kicking people out of the martial exam replica could snatch points from their hands? What a great deal!

With her strength, killing a boss came with not only significant effort but also danger, yet hunting down contestants was easy with a powerful sniper rifle, right?

Hitting them from 1200 meters away and aiming for critical spots for additional damage, harvesting points couldn’t be more delightful.

As for whether she felt guilty about kicking contestants out of the replica and causing them to fail the exam, Shen Yurou didn’t care. If they dared to surround and attack her, they should be prepared for a counterattack!

Don’t think that just because she was a life profession transfer that she was easy to bully. She was no mere mechanic who could only screw in bolts at a factory. She was a demolitions and sniping queen!

Zi Liyuan, naturally unaware that Shen Yurou had awakened some sort of attribute, checked her name on the leaderboard.

Seeing that Shen Yurou had scored 54 points, he knew she was safe, and therefore, he had nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan, amidst the night, finally found a group of suspicious people.

They were a small team of twenty, all assassin professionals, secretly converging in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall.

To avoid alarming them prematurely, Zi Liyuan didn’t approach. Instead, he summoned several skeletons to crawl in through the ventilation ducts and hide in concealed spots to monitor them.

He also used the Eyes of Death and the Eyes of Shadow in conjunction with his Spirit to continuously check their information.

Uniform LV35 assassins, all equipped with a full set of level 35 blue gear, and they all possessed invisibility and stealth skills—this bunch was definitely not normal!

It could be said that, after entering the martial trial instance for two days and seeing many examinees, just based on equipment alone, these twenty assassins boasted better gear than the military-trained team they had encountered that morning.

These assassins gathered together, seemingly exchanging some intelligence. After delaying for an hour, they took advantage of the night and split into ten pairs, forming ten teams that melted into the darkness, heading in different directions.

This posed a problem for Zi Liyuan, as Death’s Eye and Shadow’s Eye could see through invisibility, but only within a 350-meter range. Once out of this range, he couldn’t sense them anymore.

“We’ll just keep an eye on a few nearby teams, and take out the rest.”

Since they decided to split up, he’d leave behind those who could be monitored and directly kick the rest out of the instance.

Once decided, the Vulture Skeletons, already lurking outside, began their diving attacks.

The LV35 assassins, fortified by LV35 blue gear, had roughly 10,000+ health points. Although the Vulture Skeletons’ damage wasn’t high, their overwhelming numbers made up for it, with each dealing dozens of points of damage with every hit, which collectively was terrifying.

These assassins tried every trick in the book to escape, but they were futile under Zi Liyuan’s Spirit perception. Invisibility skills were futile; even when the assassins fled into nearby shops and malls, they were still hunted down by the Vulture Skeletons.

In just a short ten minutes or so, Zi Liyuan earned another dozen or so points.

Of the ten assassin teams, eight were kicked out of the instance by him, one escaped the pursuit of the Vulture Skeletons, and another was left hanging in the back without being attacked.

“I purposely let one team go. Don’t disappoint me.”

Zi Liyuan wasn’t originally planning to let a team get away, but through the shared vision of the Vulture Skeletons, he noticed that one of the two in this team had used quite a few skills, far stronger than the other assassins.

He guessed that this person might be a leader of the entire group of assassins, so he decided to let them go. He wanted to see if he could bait an even bigger ’ fish.

Controlling the hellish puppet, he hovered three hundred meters away from the assassin team, too lazy to hunt for monsters. However, monsters were very active at night and kept attacking him, which was quite annoying.

It was worth summoning some Knight Skeletons to ride around him and take out the minor monsters that approached.

Number Seven, Night Stalker Team Five has had sixteen members kicked out of the instance. The situation has changed. Should we order our people to keep their distance from the area where Night Stalker Team Five is located?”

A masked assassin reported the situation to Number Seven.

A bunch of useless trash, kicked out of the instance on just the second day, hmph, was the leader of Night Stalker Team Five kicked out as well?”

“No, he’s the one who reported after escaping, saying they were attacked by a group of Vulture Skeleton monsters.”

Number Seven’s expression turned grim. Skeleton-type monsters were aplenty among the monster army; this information was useless. Perhaps the only slightly valuable piece was the mention of flying monster units.

“Have him pull back for now. What an utterly useless trash. Since there aren’t many left in Night Stalker Team Five, just let him keep an eye on Zhu Wu’s situation.”

“Yes!”

Number Seven’s expression was extremely dark, and unbeknownst to when, he had produced a blood-red crystal. He caressed the crystal’s surface shakily, his expression becoming increasingly ferocious.

To usher in the descent of the Evil God, the central area will be sealed off. I need to think of an escape route in advance, or I’ll also become a sacrifice to the Evil God.”
