“Hey, hurry up and do it already! What are you hesitating for?” The others in the circle hesitated, faced with Giordano’s heart-wrenching cries of pain. Gu Fei was only hesitating in his heart, his expression unchanging, but Xi Yao Wu already had a look of pity on her face. Only Gu Xian remained unmoved, and after seeing the hesitation of the two, he spoke to remind them.

“So pitiful,” Xi Yao Wu said.

“There’s not much time left.” Gu Fei said this to himself, needing to decide quickly whether or not to act. The fog time was almost upon them, and when a large number of system guards rushed over, even gods would have a hard time escaping.

“Go! Go! Go!!” Just then, someone shouted from the crowd, who was getting closer. Jian Gui, masked, squeezed in from the crowd. In this day and age, masked people were not uncommon. Masks were a common headgear for assassins, but for Jian Gui at this moment, it was more important not to reveal his unfamiliar face. Clearly, he knew he was the kind of person who could leave a lasting impression.

Jian Gui also knew the coordinates of the assassination site, of course. After escaping from the small woodshed, using the tricks Gu Fei had taught him to get through, he had come all the way here, just in time for the final stage of the mission.

Jian Gui saw Giordano, half-kneeling on the ground in pain, at a glance. His mask concealed his expression, but everyone could hear the surprise in his tone: “Success!!!”

“Yeah!” Gu Fei nodded.

“What now?” Jian Gui didn't understand why Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu weren't acting at this moment, standing beside Giordano like bodyguards. Wait, isn't that Gu's cousin? Why is he here again… Jian Gui was courteous, taking the time to greet him in the midst of his busy schedule.

“So pitiful…” Xi Yao Wu pointed at Giordano and said it again to Jian Gui.

“Uh?” Jian Gui's eyes showed confusion. As expected of a hardcore online game player, his psychological quality was definitely top-notch. Giordano was definitely not a person in his eyes, but experience, gold coins, and a dropped treasure box. He wouldn't have this kind of sympathy for a system character. Xi Yao Wu was a girl, so Jian Gui could understand her mentality. Girls often got more involved when playing online games. But Gu Fei… he didn't even blink when killing players, so he couldn't bring himself to kill an NPC? Jian Gui suddenly felt that human nature was truly too complicated…

“There’s not much time left,” Jian Gui also reminded Gu Fei.

“It’s up to you!” Gu Fei patted Jian Gui.

Jian Gui didn't hesitate at all and immediately stepped forward. Anyone could see that Giordano wouldn't resist at this point. If this were a normal game cutscene, he would only have a sliver of health left, then say some last words, and then the player would give him a casual blow, completing the scene.

That's what Jian Gui did, stabbing Giordano, followed by the sound of him collapsing. Jian Gui excitedly turned his head, “Got it! There really was a mission, your deduction was spot on!”

“Got what?” Gu Fei asked.

Jian Gui held up a bloody package: Giordano's head. Just like the assassination of the great thief Suo Tu, the system automatically completed the beheading and packaging business at the moment the body fell, because asking players to saw off heads themselves was too violent and bloody.

“Let’s get out of here!” Jian Gui said. He was a little strange; the mission had been completed so smoothly, so why couldn't he see joy on these people's faces?

“We have to go.” Gu Fei looked at the time, then at the surroundings. The fog was already a little thinner, and the water mist absorbers had apparently started working again. The players Hidden in the Fog were tired of the team battle. When they had time, they turned their heads to look over here and were shocked to find that Giordano, the person who issued their mission and their key protection target, had even lost his head and was lying lonely in the yellow sand…

“Ahhhhh!!!” The people from Hidden in the Fog believed that this was an extremely awesome mission failure. Everyone was going crazy, and some people wanted to find the murderer and fight to the death, but they were quickly stopped by their opponents. The murderers in their eyes were heroes, knights, and saviors in the guild war in the eyes of their opponents.

“Hey, aren’t you leaving? How long are you going to pick your nose here?” Gu Fei and the other two were about to leave, but Gu Xian was still sitting on the ground.

“No need, I want to draw a clear line between us, otherwise it will be very troublesome,” Gu Xian said.

So Gu Fei ignored him and led the two into the battle.

The three were treated like heroes in this area. The players on this side tried their best to cover for the three, which Gu Fei had not expected before. However, they had already researched the route of retreat. From the beginning of this mission, the biggest threat in Gu Fei's mind was the NPC guards. Hidden in the Fog had blocked their line of sight. At this time, the route of retreat was designed to avoid contact with them as much as possible.

With the cover of the team, the carefully selected route, and the unusual speed of the three, they retreated safely all the way. The three successfully rushed out of the main entrance of the government compound, with the sounds of killing still shaking the sky behind them.

“It’s over…” Gu Fei looked back. He had spent a lot of energy and time on this in the past few days. At this time, he had taken a step to the end, and everything had become the past. He suddenly felt a little lost.

Jian Gui wasn't lost at all. He didn't feel disgusted at all carrying the bloody package with the head. For a hardcore player, the reward of the mission was the most exciting moment.

“Yo, you’ve already finished?” The three had just left the main entrance and hadn't walked a few steps when a figure emerged from the fog in front of them and greeted them when they saw them.

“Why are you here?” Han Jia Gongzi was actually waiting here.

“Without my series of arrangements, could your mission have gone so smoothly?” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“What did you arrange?” Gu Fei said.

“Recall it yourself!” Giordano was already dead, but the old friend was still there. The annoying guy was still so annoying. Gu Fei suddenly felt a little less melancholy. Perhaps it was diluted by this bit of annoyance.

“Let’s leave here first!” Jian Gui said, afraid that the people from Hidden in the Fog would surround them at any time.

“Let’s go, it’s almost over.” Han Jia Gongzi also looked towards the courtyard, and at this time the heavy fog had finally dissipated again. Experienced players could tell at a glance that one side in the battle was clearly conducting an organized retreat.

“What exactly did you do?” Gu Fei asked Han Jia Gongzi. Gu Fei was certain that the actions of these guild players who were attacking Hidden in the Fog were within Han Jia Gongzi’s calculations, but of course, this wasn’t just his guess. It should have been a clever guidance in the dark, leading the other party to cooperate with Gu Fei's actions. Suddenly, Gu Fei thought of the most dangerous moment in the operation: when they were surrounded by Hidden in the Fog players at the assassination site, the opponent’s guild suddenly surged in as well. Was this really a lucky coincidence?

It didn’t seem difficult to make such an arrangement. As long as they gave these acting guilds some hints, telling them that Giordano was a very important character, and revealed reasonable coordinates, this final coincidence could be completely predicted.

Gu Fei quickly remembered that when he and Jian Gui were studying the mission together, Han Jia Gongzi had also taken his notebook and glanced at it casually. This guy knew how to look at the key points.

Gu Fei sorted out Han Jia Gongzi’s thoughts. This guy, who was outside the situation, had actually considered all the places he had missed. It had to be admitted that this guy’s thinking on global strategy was superior. He would calculate every detail and achieve complete accuracy.

“How is it, are you convinced?” Han Jia Gongzi didn’t answer Gu Fei’s question at all, but seeing Gu Fei’s expression as if he had realized something, he estimated that he had guessed almost everything.

“You seem to have mastered all of our actions!” Gu Fei felt that this was simply unbelievable. This guy’s guess was a little too accurate!

“Of course, I asked Jian Gui…” The real answer was so simple.

“Brother You, where is your small wooden house in the Oak Forest of Lin Yin City?” At this time, Jian Gui couldn't wait to complete the mission and sent a message to Brother You to ask.

With Brother You’s intelligence habits, he had recorded the location coordinates of the places he had been to, and after answering, he asked, “Do you have any new discoveries?”

“More than that, we’ve completely finished it,” Jian Gui said.

“This… is it really possible to carry out missions even without the mission log?” Brother You's stubborn online game thinking was subverted.

“Damn, miscalculated…” Zhan Wu Shang sighed.

“It turns out I should have followed Qian Li this time…” Yu Tian Shen Ming also regretted it.

“Brother You, you can’t have dogmatism of experience. Learn from this mistake!” Zhan Wu Shang said.

“Yes, the spirit of innovation is very important. Look at Qian Li!!! Learn more!” Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

“Hey… you two, you don’t need to post your sarcastic remarks in the channel for everyone to see!” Brother You was depressed. These two people were clearly right next to him, but they had to talk to him in the channel. Did they have any ulterior motives?

The two people’s ulterior motives were quickly exposed. Almost at the same time, they sent out in the channel: “Big Brother Qian Li, take us with you to receive the reward!”

“Shameless ah!!!!!” Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

“Speaking of which, who does this mission belong to?” Jian Gui also had this question. After all, there was nothing in the mission log.

“Everyone should go and receive the reward! You’ll know after you try it out!!” Those two shameless guys continued to shout.

“If even you can receive a reward, then there’s really no justice in this world,” Han Jia Gongzi said. Although those people had run to Lin Yin City, it had nothing to do with the actual assassination. If you had to draw a connection, then touching the Fog Shadow Assassin’s diary was probably their only achievement.

“Then should we set off for Lin Yin City now?” Jian Gui was full of energy.

“Tomorrow, it’s time to log off,” Gu Fei said.

“Oh, okay.” For Jian Gui, this day would definitely be difficult to endure, but since Gu Fei had said it, then no one could have any objections.

“Then we don’t need to come back, right?” The three people who were still on their way back asked.

“No need,” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“Then what about that so-and-so, Jian Nan You’s group, aren’t we going to continue chasing them? Isn’t there still some kind of staff?” Those two greedy guys wanted everything.

“A bunch of trash, if I had to rely on you to remember things, then everything would have been over long ago,” Han Jia Gongzi said.
