29527 didn't have time to reply, and it was just his bad luck. Baptism of Fire's 30% chance for fire magic triggered three times in a row, and under the scorching flames, the guy disappeared with a look of confusion. As the white light flashed, there was a "clang" sound, which was the signal that the other party had been sent to prison. Players killed while under a wanted mission are sent directly to the system prison and will not be subject to death penalties.

Since he was being pursued while fleeing, which constituted resisting arrest, the punishment was more severe. Therefore, the jail time in this situation is different from the jail time for surrendering. Surrendering reduces 1 PK value per hour of jail time, which is faster than escaping in the wild. But after being arrested by a player, it takes 2 hours to reduce 1 PK value, which is the same as escaping in the wild, but you lose your freedom and are very pitiful.

29527 had 4 PK points and needed to be in jail for 8 hours. Not receiving a death penalty was the only consolation he could get.

Gu Fei had also heard the system prompt: "Wanted mission for 29527 completed. Players can go to the mission distribution point to receive the reward." Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The guy's confused expression made Gu Fei's hand tremble a little when he made the final strike, making him wonder if he had killed the wrong person. With the system prompt, he was finally relieved.

Putting away the Baptism of Fire, Gu Fei clapped his hands and walked towards the bar. He had only taken one sip of his drink, and Gu Fei planned to finish it before going to collect the reward.

The people at the tables around 29527 had been staring at Gu Fei in astonishment. Gu Fei smiled and nodded to everyone, walked to the bar, picked up his drink, and took a sip. Looking back, he saw that everyone was still staring at him. Gu Fei muttered to himself, "Did my actions just now make me look too cool?" Thinking this, he raised his glass to everyone as a courtesy.

With a "clang," a table was kicked over. The players at those tables seemed to wake up from a dream. The astonishment on their faces had been replaced with anger, and the anger was directed at Gu Fei. The other players around, with the special animal-like sensitivity to PK that Moonlit City players possess, had already sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and stood up to leave the tavern.

"Hi, Mr. Kang, it's you! You're here too!" Gu Fei had sharp eyes and immediately went up to greet him when he saw someone.

Mr. Kang's face was ashen, and he quickly said, "Who am I? I don't know you."

"Aren't I that... what's-his-name?" Gu Fei said as he walked quickly towards Mr. Kang. In the blink of an eye, he was beside him and put his arm around his shoulder. "What are you standing there for? Run!"

"You're going to kill me, bro," Mr. Kang said, crying as he ran out, but Gu Fei was faster than him and was the first to leave.

"Damn, that guy ran away!" The group of angry people in the tavern woke up from their daze again and shouted as they rushed out of the tavern.

Gu Fei had already run several meters, with Mr. Kang following behind him. A group of people rushed out of the tavern and saw them at a glance, shouting, "They're over there! Don't let either of them escape!"

When Mr. Kang heard this, he cried again and shouted at Gu Fei in front, "Why are you paying attention to me! Pretend you didn't see me!"

Gu Fei apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm trying to divert their attention."

"Who are they?" Gu Fei asked as he looked back. The group of guys didn't seem to be fast; they clearly couldn't catch up with Gu Fei and Mr. Kang.

"They're from the Qian Chen Guild, the largest guild in Moonlit City. The person you killed was called Yin Yue, the guild leader..." Mr. Kang introduced with heartache, still not forgetting to complain, "Why did you have to kill him?"

"I was doing a wanted mission..." Gu Fei said.

"There are so many wanted missions, why did you have to accept his!"

"He had the most PK points, 4..." Gu Fei said.

"It's not your fault..." Mr. Kang sighed as he ran. "You can't see the name on this mission, and you're from out of town, so you don't know Yin Yue. Why do you think he dared to sit there drinking with so many PK points? It's because even if other people accepted this mission, they would have to sneak back when they came in and saw him. How much experience and money do you get for doing a wanted mission? Instead, you've offended the Qian Chen Guild. How can you survive in Moonlit City?"

"Oh, oh... I see..." Gu Fei understood. No wonder that guy died so confused. It wasn't that Gu Fei hadn't suspected this reason, but he dared to challenge the impossible.

"Even if you take ten thousand steps back, you could have just run away after you killed him! But you were drinking and greeting me. You're going to kill me! How am I going to live!" Mr. Kang cried again.

"It's okay, you can come with me to Cloudrise City in a couple of days. They won't chase us there, will they?" Gu Fei said.

"Maybe..." Mr. Kang said.

"Damn, is it that bad?" Gu Fei was shocked.

"We can't understand the minds of these PK maniacs. They're always worried about not having an excuse to PK. Now that there's a long-distance chase, they might think it's cool," Mr. Kang said.

"Cool my ass. We've already lost them," Gu Fei said, looking back again. The group of guys was gone.

Mr. Kang was a thief, and Gu Fei was a full-agility mage. Both of them were fast, but there were clearly no such extremely agile guys in that group, so they couldn't catch up with them.

"What do we do now? Maybe we're already surrounded," Mr. Kang said.

"I'll teach you. Change your clothes and cover your face like this, and they won't recognize you, right?" Gu Fei said, covering his face and putting on the Moonlit City robe again.

"Covering my face? Wouldn't that be too conspicuous?" Mr. Kang said.

"No, a lot of Moonlit City players are covering their faces today," Gu Fei said. He didn't say that the masked men were also going to kill him. Gu Fei was puzzled. He was such a low-key person, so why was he so often targeted? It was rare for him to kill a PK maniac to do good for the people, but it caused him so much trouble. Of course, compared to that person, his PK value was just a small amount.

Mr. Kang did the same and peeked around, saying, "Okay, let's leave Moonlit City quickly and go back to your Cloudrise City!"

"No way!" Gu Fei refused flatly.

"Why?"

Gu Fei had to confess, "I also have PK points on me. If I go back to Cloudrise City, I'll be annoyed to death. I came to Moonlit City to take refuge."

Covered in his mask, Mr. Kang's expression couldn't be seen. He took a few steps back and exclaimed, "So you're also a PK maniac! Are you the Murder King of Cloudrise City?!"

"No way! I only have a few PK points," Gu Fei lied against his will. He felt that Mr. Kang seemed to be a little too sensitive about PK. He must have suffered a lot from it and was now clearly a little frightened.

"In that case, I'll go to Cloudrise City first. I can just go through the Black Dragon Mountains, right?" Mr. Kang said.

"Yes, go ahead!" Gu Fei nodded.

"Be careful! See you in Cloudrise City if I get the chance..." Mr. Kang's tone made it sound as if he would never see Gu Fei again. After saying this, he turned and disappeared into the street.

"He's even going to stealth! Then why bother covering his face and changing his clothes? He could have just snuck out. This guy is really too careful." Gu Fei thought, then turned and left. His destination was Fourth Night Street, the wanted mission distribution point. He had just caught a murderer, and he hadn't collected his reward yet!

Walking quickly towards the mission point, the players he encountered along the way all cast puzzled glances at Gu Fei's appearance.

"Black Hand Mercenary Group," Gu Fei explained to these puzzled players.

But everyone was still confused. However, Gu Fei had spread a lot of rumors about this along the way. He was even a little worried about the guys from the Black Hand Mercenary Group. If masked men did something big in Moonlit City in the future, the Black Hand Mercenary Group would become the first suspect.

The mission distribution point was just ahead. Gu Fei turned out of the street and immediately ducked back. He saw a few familiar faces. They seemed to be some of the people he had seen in the tavern before. Several people were squatting at the entrance of the mission distribution point with murderous intent, playing with the weapons in their hands.

It seemed that they already knew that Gu Fei had accepted the wanted mission and killed their guild leader, and they also knew that he had to come back here to collect the reward after completing the mission. So they were waiting for him here. What Gu Fei didn't understand was, if that was the case, why didn't they hide inside the house, but stood outside so obviously? Could it be that the IQ of Moonlit City players was generally low?

When the IQ is low, people inevitably like to solve problems with force, just like animals. This is somewhat similar to the atmosphere in Moonlit City. With this IQ, Gu Fei felt that walking over in his costume wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Thinking this, Gu Fei walked out of the alley and walked towards the mission point.

The masked appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Black Hand Mercenary Group," Gu Fei said to the people who were looking at him.

"Black Hand Mercenary Group," Gu Fei said specifically to the Qian Chen Guild member playing with a knife when he walked to the entrance of the distribution point.

"Get lost!" that person said to Gu Fei impatiently.

For the first time in his life, he felt so happy being scolded. Gu Fei happily entered the mission distribution point, first collected the reward, and the system prompted that 4 PK points had been washed away. Then he accepted a new mission, but unfortunately there were no more big shots like 29527. The remaining wanted players all had only 1 PK point. The players doing wanted missions around were all complaining. For a town where the PK atmosphere was so prevalent, the PK value was so conservative. Everyone felt it was too embarrassing.

Gu Fei casually selected one, walked behind everyone, and unexpectedly changed into a new mage robe. Then he walked out of the mission distribution point and said to the person playing with the knife again, "I'm from the Black Hand Mercenary Group."

"Damn it!" that person jumped up with his knife. "Are you guys done yet?!"

"I killed your boss," Gu Fei said word by word, then suddenly turned and ran.

"Damn, that guy, don't let him run!" that person shouted madly.
