Chapter 545: What Does His “Perfect Clear” Mean?
Pride listened to the voice in his ear and could also sense the aura emanating from the other person.
Weak, friendly, seemingly without any combat capability—it was highly unlikely to be something from the demon faction.
Keeping his gaze fixed straight ahead, Pride simply couldn't be bothered to respond, unwilling to communicate with the people here.
Really... being hit on by an NPC in a game was a first-time experience for him, such a strange gaming encounter.
He patted the Black Knight beneath him, almost like a reminder.
Given the background setting of this game world, it should be a low-martial situation. If the Black Knight could just say a few words, it might scare these people away.
But the Black Knight, as if aware of Lu Ce's intention, remained completely motionless where it stopped, not uttering a single word!
Lu Ce: ...
"Are you a coser? If you're late, you need to enter from over there."
"The texture of this outfit and axe is really good! Where did you get them custom-made? So impressive.""And this motorcycle too."
"But what character are you actually imitating?..."
Seeing Pride's cold expression, the few girls who had gathered around showed no trace of dissatisfaction, instead thinking Lu Ce was fully immersed in his cosplay role!
They simply assumed he was acting in character and saw no issue with it.
Because of their actions, the game livestream inside Lu Ce was filled with cheerful atmosphere.
[LMAO a coser! This is the bravest person I've ever seen facing "Sin" in the game.]
[Probably made "Sin" completely speechless.]
[Honestly, do you think this psycho would suddenly erupt and kill these people?]
...
Listening to their words, Lu Ce roughly understood the situation here. Following where they pointed, he looked at the sports stadium ahead.
Among the several entrance directions, he could occasionally see people dressed in bizarre costumes, clearly different from those around them.
Taking group photos, striking poses—the air was filled with a vibrant, youthful energy that felt completely out of place with the hellish game.
But Lu Ce knew perfectly well that this entire area was shrouded in the demon's mark!
Where are the people?...
Kacha!
He lifted his Extreme Path Battle Axe and heavily placed it on the ground. The massive axe sliced through the pavement like cutting through tofu, plowing a deep crevice into the surface.
That impactful scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of the surrounding people, instantly silencing their voices.
They began murmuring among themselves with uncertainty and suspicion.
Meanwhile, one of the girls suddenly stiffened, her eyes glazing over as she started rolling them upward.
Her eyeballs rolled unnaturally high, her mouth slightly agape, looking like she might start foaming at any moment.
Her body began to stiffen, black energy seeped from her feet, and her entire being seemed as if something was piercing through her from bottom to top...
"Hmm?"
Pride seemed to sense something, slightly turning his head.
...
Kun City.
Xie Antong walked quietly along the street, her All-Seeing Eyes flying out in all directions, automatically arranging themselves.
Unlike Lu Ce, her outward appearance was more like an ordinary person, blending well into the crowd with no one paying her any attention.
However, she had been continuously observing the people around her, noting their every move.
That was a level of authenticity impossible to achieve through computer modeling—every piece of information, every smiling expression in each scene, that psychological state...
All indicated that this should be a real world!
If games manifested on Earth too, would they also become like this world?
Xie Antong frowned in thought, then suddenly stopped walking.
As if sensing something, she looked in a certain direction.
It was a dark corner in the block—the kind of place where school bullying and similar incidents might theoretically occur.
After merging with Pleasure's power, Xie Antong's spiritual sensitivity had become quite high, and from that direction, she felt intense spiritual fluctuations.
Raising an eyebrow, this time she wasn't as cautious and instead took a few steps forward.
Although her surface-level strength wasn't particularly high, because of Pleasure's power, if she were truly willing to fight with her life on the line, those who could defeat her would be as rare as phoenix feathers.
From the shadows of the corner, a mass of black water slowly emerged, then gradually coalesced into human form.
—Chiyo Eine!
"I knew you'd come to 'Sin's' game too!"
The moment she appeared, she looked at Xie Antong with shining eyes, speaking with some surprise.
Usually, she and Xie Antong were in different countries, handling Divine Punishment affairs through online communication.
And in the game, she hadn't seen Xie Antong for several consecutive games...
She immediately rushed over, but after seeing Xie Antong's expression, she reconsidered and didn't hug her.
Seeing a familiar face, Xie Antong smiled slightly and said:
"How is your family's ancestor doing?"
"She's fine." Chiyo Eine nodded. "She speaks very highly of you too."
Well, it was indeed high praise... though not in the same way as her evaluation.
"Mm, good."
"What faction are you in?"
Xie Antong went straight to the point with her question. Chiyo Eine didn't hesitate either, speaking directly:
"I'm in the [Saint] faction."
"Tch, what a pity. How did you end up in the same faction as that guy? What about you?"
Xie Antong frowned slightly but didn't hide anything, saying:
"I'm in the [Demon] faction."
Actually, Xie Antong had assumed Lu Ce would choose the [Demon] faction, since the name Saint sounded somewhat like a subordinate of some god.
Who would have thought Pride would be completely indifferent...
Chiyo Eine: ?
"Huh?"
"Is there any way to change factions? I heard it's possible. I'll just switch to your faction."
"Perfect, that way I won't be in the same faction as 'Sin' anymore. Let's join forces with that Death whatever to deal with him!"
Chiyo Eine had nothing more to say—she was somewhat acting like a simp now, already planning to change sides directly.
Xie Antong waved her hand, indicating there was no rush, and said:
"About how to make a Saint convert factions, I only know one method for now, but that matter isn't urgent."
"What I'm thinking about now is whether there's a possibility that in this game, He... might also have some kind of clearance rating."
Chiyo Eine didn't understand what Xie Antong meant, asking:
"Who?"
"Death Messenger!" Xie Antong said, her eyes gradually darkening.
"If there is."
"Then what would His 'Perfect Clearance' conditions be?"
