Ghosts, and…
Regulators!
Diaz was dead, but that didn’t mean the rules of the Death Playground were gone.
Therefore, the trouble with the final restricted zone mission, Mission One, was that one had to escape the Death Playground. However, the rules of the Death Playground were still in effect. As soon as one left the building area, they would be hunted by Regulators, and the ghosts hidden within the buildings would also emerge to wreak havoc.
Thus, a dilemma arose: staying inside the buildings meant being burned to death, while leaving meant facing pursuit.
Furthermore, this situation would escalate in difficulty as time passed.
Ghosts were manageable, but the Regulators were the main threat.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had completed three restricted zone missions. However, by the time he finished, it was already close to twelve hours. With Regulators increasing by one every three hours, plus those added due to severe injuries, their number reached nine. It was a horrific scene, a complete massacre, and only one-tenth of the people managed to escape the Death Playground alive.
However, the difficulty this time wouldn’t be that high, as there was only the Deer Head with a severed arm and one Yellow Robe Master.
“Indeed, I am such a kind person. By completing the restricted zone mission early, I’ve saved so many lives!”
Bai Ye shamelessly praised himself again, then began to sprint with all his might.
After running about ten meters, Bai Ye heard screams.
It was clear that no one would choose to hide in the buildings at this moment. Hiding meant certain death by fire, while rushing out offered at least a sliver of hope.
But being attacked was inevitable.
To his front left, a large group of white specters were attacking. Several men were desperately resisting. Upon seeing Bai Ye, one of them shouted, “Brother, help us.”
Bai Ye grinned at him and continued to run forward quickly.
Bai Ye believed he still had some kindness left, but not much.
When he had ten thousand yuan, he was willing to give ten yuan to a beggar. But if he only had twenty yuan, then he was truly sorry, he wouldn’t have a single cent. As for being asked to stop and beg with them, Bai Ye could only say: “Go to hell.”
However, Bai Ye had no intention of helping. Yet, the specters did not intend to let Bai Ye go and charged towards him in unison.
But before Bai Ye could even make a move, the specters, upon reaching about three meters from him, suddenly let out mournful screams. Golden light erupted from Bai Ye’s body, causing the specters to turn to ashes.
Bai Ye was stunned. What was going on?
Suddenly, the man who had asked Bai Ye for help shouted ferociously, “The clothes that kid is wearing are treasures that restrain ghosts! Rob them!”
With that shout, Bai Ye finally understood.
The Golden Silk Robe!
The Golden Silk Robe had no offensive capabilities; its primary function was to strengthen the physique, increase the power of martial arts, and speed up the casting of spells.
However, it was indeed a Taoist treasure from the Xianxia world, possessing the ability to restrain ghosts. For powerful evil spirits like Diaz, a non-offensive item like the Golden Silk Robe would have no effect. But for weak specters, it was a different story.
At the same time, the men who were entangled by the specters charged towards Bai Ye with fierce momentum.
“Take off your clothes!”
Bai Ye chuckled and said, “You were just begging me for help, and now you want to rob me?”
“Enough nonsense!”
A man stepped forward, grabbed Bai Ye’s shoulder, and attempted to forcibly strip him of his Golden Silk Robe.
Bai Ye sighed and looked at the man, saying, “It’s just a group of specters. If you try a little harder, there’s still hope of defeating them, but instead…”
*Poof!*
Bai Ye suddenly reached out, plucked the Ning Shuang Sword that was suspended beside him, and swept it forward forcefully.
“You are determined to die!”
The man didn’t even have a chance to react. As the Ning Shuang Sword swept past him, a bloodline slowly opened on his throat, and then the man fell backward.
The next moment…
Bai Ye directly raised his gun and pulled the trigger forward.
The Evil Dragon Roar roared, unleashing five energy beams. After hitting one person, their upper body exploded, and the remaining half of the corpse flew out, landing on the ground with a large amount of blood flowing out.
In the blink of an eye, two had died. The remaining three were instantly shocked. Without knowing who started it, they let out a startled cry and turned to flee.
Bai Ye sneered, “Did I agree to let you go?”
*Bang!*
Bai Ye bent his knees and then leaped forward like a hunting leopard.
Almost instantly, Bai Ye caught up to one person, placed his hand on the back of their head, and forcefully pushed them towards the ground.
With a bang, the man’s face slammed directly into the ground, and blood mixed with brain matter slowly flowed out.
On the other side, as Bai Ye made his move, the Ning Shuang Sword flew forward smoothly, transforming into a silver sword light. It caught up to one person, accurately pierced their heart from behind, and impaled it with a single strike.
Having killed two, Bai Ye looked up and said, “One left!”
Bai Ye took out the Evil Dragon Roar’s support and set it up.
Precision: When the Evil Dragon Roar switches to bombardment mode, it can track targets at a fixed point. Upon hit, the energy damage power is halved.
Bai Ye grinned at the fleeing figure, and then the Evil Dragon Roar suddenly fired.
Five energy beams shot into the air, tracing a parabolic arc before descending towards the last person. As they descended, the five energy beams continuously intertwined and circled, eventually merging into one, and then…
*Boom!*
A massive energy beam landed with a deafening roar.
The ground directly shattered, creating a crater with a diameter of at least nearly five meters. Rocks flew into the air, and dust scattered and swirled.
And the last person…
Was directly annihilated by the energy beam, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace!
Even with the precision effect for fixed-point tracking, which halved its power, it was still not something an ordinary person could withstand. Moreover…
There was an unexpected bonus!
“You have killed a participant (Modern World).”
“You have obtained a fragment of a God Stone.”
Bai Ye’s intention was simply to eliminate all threats since he had already taken action. He hadn’t expected to gain a God Stone fragment as a bonus. In that case, this was no longer a question of whether it was a loss, but a huge profit!
However, now was not the time to rejoice. Bai Ye picked up the Evil Dragon Roar, turned, and continued to sprint towards the entrance of the Death Playground!
The most important thing right now was to get out of here!
