Chapter 347: Rage Won't Give You Time to Think
The light green mask of Rage flared with fury, dropping the Hell's Roar in his hand as crimson blood splattered all over him.
After much contemplation, Lu Ce still decided to speed things up!
He was too lazy to painstakingly analyze the hidden stakes; since he was here, he would just accelerate everything!
Rage’s greatest function was acceleration.
Just like the first time he used Rage in the game, skipping all the intermediate steps and diving straight into the core.
"Ah?!"
Perfect Life was originally sitting under the umbrella, watching the scene before him coldly.
He had long sensed that something was off. Wearing this mask, everyone knew the name “Sin.” How could there possibly be careless waiters here?
No instructions, no ulterior motives—only a fool would believe otherwise.
But just as he thought he smelled the scent of a conspiracy, the gunshot rang out.He was stunned. Was that how China solved problems? So straightforward?
Besides him, this “Ah!” was the voice in the hearts of most people.
Many players were stunned; except for Sun whose eyes shone brightly, most were shocked.
Today... could someone really die?
At such a massive player gathering, everyone tacitly agreed that excessively severe casualties should not occur.
At the top rankings, most people represented more than just themselves and exercised basic restraint.
But they didn’t know, or rather, they all misjudged “Sin.”
As for those who understood the mask, the girl on the top floor of the building had already turned away after seeing Lu Ce’s mask turn light green.
Only one thought floated in her heart—these people were probably looking for death.
Yet at the same time, a somewhat sick smile appeared on her face; she felt a dark sense of satisfaction.
Originally, today, on this island, she might have been the only one feeling stifled and unhappy.
Now, he was here.
Everyone was about to be unhappy!
...
The light green mask slowly lifted its head; the cloak on his body floated in front of him without wind, wiping the blood from the mask.
Among all the masks, Rage spoke the least.
Because he didn’t need to say much; the gun in his hand naturally spoke for him.
Ignoring the mosaic-censored corpse ahead, and without caring what others thought, he continued walking forward.
He knew others would still come out.
The moment he decided to wear the mask, he had already concluded one thing in his mind—those daring to stand up now would not be innocent!
Absolutely impossible!
So, Rage was online.
Moreover, Rage’s killing was a normal state; it wouldn’t increase mental burden or cause overload, which was one of its advantages.
Lu Ce: I’m really too gentle.
Step... step...
On the vast island, the scene originally set up cheerfully now felt oppressive due to this splash of blood.
It was as if only “Sin’s” footsteps echoed in everyone’s ears.
His footsteps were deliberately slow, as if waiting for someone.
What? No one’s coming?
Could it be they were scared dumb?
The truth was, they really were!
The people remotely controlling all the waiters and preparing a series of operations were already stunned.
What should they do next?!
In the earpieces, they were already bickering into a mess, unable to come up with a clear plan.
The execution layer had limited access; the tasks they had received only had two paths.
One was not to really escalate relations too much, preferably to provoke just enough to see how much the woman meant to “Sin.”
If she was truly useful, then marriage alliances or not, they could use this opportunity to threaten or even control such a top-tier combat power, which would be perfect.
But that was somewhat idealistic—more specific scheming to be decided later.
The other path was that if the matter could truly escalate, then escalate it enough!
Crashing it with the East Sea Debate event was their plan.
Ideally, during this globally watched time, when “Sin’s” public opinion was at its worst, they could completely push him to the world’s opposition.
What remained was for their backers to handle.
Simply put, those who could not be used should be sacrificed!
But... what did this mean now?!
Their serious probing and provocation hadn’t even started, and he... just killed someone outright?
What were they supposed to do next?
It seemed the first path was about to be blocked, but they were still uncertain about the second.
Was this man really that difficult to deal with...?
Unfortunately, they didn’t have much feedback or planning time left.
Because Rage wouldn’t give you time to think.
On the unblocked avenue, he had already walked dozens of meters.
Those in this world who could try to stop him with personal strength were behind, but all were just watching the show!
“Stop! Isn’t this going too far?”
Finally, someone in the crowd couldn’t stand it anymore, stepping forward—a venerable elder-looking man.
Holding a staff embedded with a green gem, he stood from his seat, pointing the staff angrily at “Sin.”
“You are the strongest player, ‘Sin,’ right?”
Lu Ce didn’t respond.
“Don’t you know where this is? This isn’t a game. Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly?”
Lu Ce didn’t respond.
“This is not a lawless place!”
Lu Ce didn’t respond.
“The waiter was only doing his duty, yet you just ruthlessly killed him. You’re completely lawless!”
“I think this so-called game has already driven you insane.”
“The title ‘Strongest Player’ might not belong to a hero but rather a devil.”
Lu Ce still didn’t respond, only silently watching him.
He seemed to have finished speaking and had no next words.
Raising his hand, Hell’s Roar on second gear, fired smoothly.
Boom!
One of life’s rules: When someone conflicts with you, and in your resistance, someone stands up to say “fair words”…
They are your accomplices!
The corpse collapsed with the explosion; the ceramic plate armor on the chest was like tofu.
Hiss~~
On a distant warship, real-time video data had already been transmitted to the Elders’ Assembly.
With the second gunshot, the Grand Elder started feeling a tooth-aching chill, gasping for air.
This young man!
In the dim underground room, it was completely silent; one could hear a pin drop.
Many elders were stiff.
They actually understood the internal situation of the families and forces holding this marriage alliance was complicated.
In fact, some forces had already infiltrated, possibly with their own agendas—not benevolent.
This “Strongest Player Marriage Snatching Incident” was full of strangeness; these old schemers could smell the plot.
From their perspective, they wanted to see “Sin” appear in the real world, and also use this ruthless blade to see what the domestic forces were up to.
But now, these two gunshots woke them up.
The people setting the trap were not kind.
Was “Sin” a good person??
This guy was even more uncontrollable, more ruleless; he just came up and killed two people?!
If they didn’t know those two might already have problems, they would have wanted Dragon Group to intervene now!
Killing openly in the real world, right under official eyes?
Just thinking about it was absurd.
So many high-level players, so many top experts—who would think of killing someone on such a world-focused day?
Even Sun would have to weigh his options carefully.
As the Grand Elder said, the world hadn’t yet reached the point of complete order collapse.
“This... Grand Elder.”
A Dragon Group member in black with gold patterns had just disembarked from the warship, crossing the seas to Lovers’ Island.
Now hesitantly asked, “Those two just now probably weren’t innocent…”
“But what about next?”
The Elders’ Assembly inside was heavy-hearted; the Grand Elder finally spoke:
“Let our people... all keep their distance! Don’t provoke him; observe further.”
“We are not the most urgent concern now.”
“Those who can get onto this island are not ordinary civilians; if they’re smart, no one would go up and casually die...”
That frontline Dragon Group member looked up at Lu Ce in the distance, hesitating:
“I know, but if... this guy loses control.”
“We can’t just ignore it either.”
“And it’s hard to confirm if ‘Sin’ is really on our side.”
“If there is a risk of rampage, you try to stop him first, then evacuate the crowd.” The Grand Elder said.
“Me?” The Dragon Group member frowned slightly, “I might not be able to beat him...”
“Just stop him! If it gets serious, don’t rule out military force!”
“... Understood.”
On the sea, warships docked solemnly, showing great strategic composure.
The players on the island were dumbfounded.
What? You’re completely ignoring this?
Chiyo Eine frowned, thoughtful.
If that’s the case... could “Sin” have official backing?
Sun turned back, quietly saying to Shui Zhongmeng and Wu Changkong:
“I think he should join the Heaven and Earth Society; what a pity.”
The two: ......
Outside the storm, currents surged, different people thinking from different angles.
At the storm’s center, “Sin” cared about only one thing—kill all blockers!
He didn’t care about whatever conspiracies the countless Buddhas on Spirit Mountain had; now he only acted like the Monkey King wreaking havoc in Heaven.
His footsteps kept moving forward, the light green mask expressionless.
He was like the sharpest blade, forcing the hidden mastermind to make a choice.
Just as the Elders judged, the most anxious now was not them.
Because Rage wouldn’t give them time to think.
Lu Ce kept moving forward; he was also waiting, waiting for each blocker.
He knew there were still many from the company who wouldn’t give up, still fantasizing about using words and tricks to court death.
He only needed to send them to death.
Finally, someone stood out from the crowd; the situation had begun advancing—there was no stopping midway.
“As the strongest player, is your power only to wantonly kill innocents?”
Trying moral coercion.
Bang!
Gunshot, fallen, Lu Ce kept moving forward.
“Have you lost your sense of right and wrong, lost your reason?”
Trying to slander.
Bang!
Gunshot, fallen, Rage didn’t care.
“Looks like people’s guesses might be right; the strongest player has been brainwashed, now controlled by the game.”
Slander and rumors—very common tactics.
Bang!
Gunshot, a bloody hole appeared in the opponent’s forehead, brain exploded, falling decisively and rashly.
“You know where this is. From today on, you stand against all humanity! Your actions are anti-human atrocities.”
Starting to spout nonsense, revealing true intent.
Bang!
Hell’s Roar never lacked bullets; their life energy even replenished bullets.
“Do you know who I am? If you dare act again, there will be no turning back.”
Nonsensical words, nonsensical people.
Lu Ce slightly moved the mask and turned to look at the other; the other’s clothes shimmered with golden light—this person was not ordinary.
Seeing “Sin” suddenly stop, everyone’s hearts tightened, eyes glued to his movements.
Then, Hell’s Roar third gear, ten percent power!
Boom!
Like thunder striking flat ground, the earth was blown into a huge deep pit.
This time, not even scraps remained.
Seven gunshots.
From the moment the light green mask was put on, he hadn’t said a word—only these seven shots.
Hell’s Roar sounded from hell, harvesting all life, burying countless conspiracies in their minds.
In the crowd, many who had been itching to act now felt their legs go weak!
Commands kept coming through the earpieces, but now even they themselves dared not go up!
No one was a suicide; everyone feared.
Sometimes, people’s respect comes not only from strength but also deterrence.
Whether you flip out or act is a huge variable; your possible actions are part of human interaction.
But Rage was now telling everyone with action:
No negotiation!
Come, and you die!
After seven people, even the dark figures in the earpiece hesitated.
No one dared to step forward.
Finally, “Rage” reached the building’s entrance, turned his head, and spoke the day’s second sentence.
“Anyone else?”
