Hu Die Lan

Chapter 51 The Power of Fans

Chapter 11 Fan Power

Gu Fei left the tavern and immediately ran towards the Thieves' Guild. He didn't need to know Bu Xiao's exact location, because the current situation in Cloud City was: wherever Bu Xiao was, there would be many people.

The whole city had heard about this endless chase. From level 30 to level 23, it took less than an hour, and the chase seemed to be continuing. Rumors about the masked assassin had become more and more exaggerated, and everyone wanted to witness it with their own eyes. The most effective way, of course, was to follow Bu Xiao. Fortunately, the parallel world's chat window didn't have a public channel like the world or trade channels of previous online games, otherwise a considerable number of players would have put Bu Xiao on the trade window just to catch a glimpse of the assassin.

Gradually approaching the Thieves' Guild, Gu Fei indeed saw the crowd gathered. He struggled to squeeze in and saw Bu Xiao walking down the street with a few of his close friends, followed by a large group of players ten meters behind them. The crowd that Gu Fei belonged to had circled around and ran to the front intersection to occupy a spot to watch, and even more people were crammed onto the rooftops on both sides of the street.

Being watched like this, Bu Xiao was naturally unhappy. But he could only swallow his anger. Because there were just too many people. If he cursed a few times, he would lose another level without the assassin even coming.

Gu Fei smiled slightly.

"Excuse me! Let me through..." Gu Fei apologized all the way, exiting the crowd. He found a place to climb onto the roof. The players on the roof were all focused on watching Bu Xiao on the street below. Gu Fei secretly changed into his assassin outfit behind them, and tiptoed behind the others to find a place where Bu Xiao was walking.

"Hey, let me through!" Gu Fei patted the person in front of him.

The person turned around impatiently, but as soon as he saw Gu Fei, his eyes lit up. Gu Fei quickly made a shushing gesture. The person held his mouth with both hands, nodded desperately, and then squeezed the guy next to him with his shoulder.

"What are you doing!" The person next to him turned his head, saw Gu Fei, and his eyes immediately lit up. Gu Fei quickly made a shushing gesture, the person held his mouth with both hands, nodded desperately, and then...

In the blink of an eye, a group of players with glowing eyes and hands pressed tightly over their mouths quietly made way for Gu Fei. Gu Fei slowly appeared from the crowd. The players across the street burst into excitement, their eyes immediately lighting up. Gu Fei quickly made a...

Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? Bu Xiao felt a little strange. With so many people gathered together, the chattering noise was usually quite loud, but just now, it had suddenly become very quiet, so quiet that he could hear the wind above his head. Bu Xiao quickly raised his head and only saw a red light coming towards him. The red light made Bu Xiao pale, and soon, he was far away from the surrounding crowd.

Bu Xiao's close friends were also going crazy. They had been following Bu Xiao, being careful and cautious. This time, when they saw so many people watching, they thought that even if the assassin was going to strike, they would be aware of it. Who would have thought that so many people would cooperate wholeheartedly with an assassin? The world is going downhill, there's no sympathy at all! The guys thought sadly, but couldn't turn their grief into strength. Gu Fei once again easily got rid of their entanglement. The onlookers had already prepared an escape route for him. Gu Fei slipped away and quickly shook off the entanglement of Bu Xiao's companions.

However, he couldn't shake off the pursuit of the onlookers. Many people followed Gu Fei's footsteps. Firstly, everyone was curious about the true identity of this assassin, and secondly, following this assassin was easier to see him kill people than following Bu Xiao, right?

Gu Fei deeply realized: the power of fans is infinite.

If this continued, Bu Xiao's close friends would soon be able to find him by following the crowd. Gu Fei could only continue to run for his life. He didn't know how many circles he had made in Cloud City, but Gu Fei still couldn't shake off the crowd behind him. After all, there was strength in numbers. Some people had clearly been shaken off before, but when they reached the next intersection, Gu Fei was surprised to find that the person was looking for him in front, and they ran right into each other.

With such a constant turnover, Gu Fei always had a string of tails, but God doesn't disappoint those who work hard. In the process of traveling through the streets and alleys, Gu Fei finally ran into the dazed Bu Xiao once. Was there any hesitation? He rushed over, and with a slash of his knife, he killed Bu Xiao.

In the flashing white light, Gu Fei vaguely saw something seem to fall to the ground. A player behind him screamed, "Equipment dropped!!!" But then everyone found that Gu Fei ran away without looking back. Everyone was stunned, and suddenly rushed towards the things Bu Xiao dropped like crazy. The truth of the mysterious assassin was tempting, but it was still not as good as a piece of possibly top-quality equipment!

Gu Fei unexpectedly got rid of the entanglement in this way. He ran into a street, and when he saw that no one was around, he quickly tore off his disguise and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Wu Shi Zhi Jian, who was still negotiating with Qi Yue in the Xiao Lei Tavern, received two consecutive reports of Bu Xiao being killed. Counting on his fingers, Bu Xiao was now level 21. Wu Shi Zhi Jian felt a little uneasy. Partly, he was worried about the reputation of his guild; the other part was actually a little scared.

Although Bu Xiao was miserable now, this person was indeed a formidable character. Otherwise, Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the others wouldn't have brought him to Zong Heng Si Hai and given him the status of a core member.

Bu Xiao had no resistance in front of the other party, what about himself? Wu Shi Zhi Jian clearly felt a chill. That's right, he was the president of the largest guild in Cloud City with 300 members, but that didn't mean he could go out to level up with 300 people every day. This assassin-like figure appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and in such a short period of time, he had already killed Bu Xiao for nine levels, which was really terrifying.

What was even more terrifying was that only this guy was taking action at the moment, and according to the report when Bu Xiao's team was wiped out earlier, the other party had six people at the time. If six people acted together, wouldn't that be even more terrifying.

The fear in his heart tilted the balance of the negotiation. Was it still necessary to spend effort for a level 21 guy? He had already been killed for nine levels, how could the guild's face be recovered? Moreover, the other party's spearhead was currently focused on Bu Xiao. If the guild began to formally support Bu Xiao in a big way, would their target point to everyone in the guild?

Wu Shi Zhi Jian deeply felt the pain of being in the dark while the enemy was in the light. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Guild Leader Qi Yue, how about this? We will now expel Bu Xiao from the guild, and you can solve your own affairs."

"Wu Shi!!" The first person to be shocked by this decision was Feng Xing, who was next to Wu Shi Zhi Jian.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian looked at him, but didn't explain anything.

Qi Yue and the others were naturally very surprised. They didn't imagine that Wu Shi Zhi Jian would make such a big concession. Expelling Bu Xiao from the guild meant that he was severing ties with Bu Xiao, which also meant that Zong Heng Si Hai was retreating on this matter.

"Guild Leader Wu Shi is discerning and understands reason, admirable..." Luo Luo offered a very literary compliment.

Qi Yue was still a little dazed, feeling that she didn't seem to have said anything powerful to attack the other party, so how could the other party have such a powerful concession! While still in a trance, Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Feng Xing had already stood up: "Then we'll go back, this dagger... I think we should still take it back, which can be regarded as an explanation to Bu Xiao."

Qi Yue nodded.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian picked up Feng Zhi An Yu and left the Xiao Lei Tavern with Feng Xing.

"Why?" Feng Xing asked as soon as he left the door.

"The other party is too strong! You also saw, just now, Bu Xiao was killed twice again." Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Are you afraid?"

"It's not just me who's afraid, I'm also afraid for you, and for all the members of the guild. If such a character targets any of you, who has the confidence to resist?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"What's there to be afraid of! Let him come!"

"You're not afraid, doesn't mean 300 members aren't afraid. When people are panicking and we are unable to solve it, can the guild still exist?"

Feng Xing stopped talking.

"Let's go! Return Feng Zhi An Yu to Bu Xiao, that's considered an explanation for him." Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Who exactly are these people!" Feng Xing punched angrily. The frustration in his heart was really unbearable.

"First keep it in your heart! A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!"

Feng Xing nodded helplessly.

In the Xiao Lei Tavern, Qi Yue and the four of them were overjoyed with the progress of this matter.

"Now that he doesn't have the support of the largest guild, and his level is so low, we don't have to be afraid of him ourselves." Qi Yue said with relief.

"That guy who's chasing him is so awesome!" Lie Lie's eyes were sparkling, "Who exactly is he? Sister Luo Luo!!"

"I don't know either." Luo Luo shook her head, "Except for their mercenary group leader, he didn't reveal the identities of the other members to me at all. Now everyone outside is saying that this person is a mage, but as far as I know, this is a mage who can fight the mountain bandit leader Suo Tu alone!"

"Too strong..."

"Luo Luo, contact them and see if you can arrange a meeting, so we can thank them in person." Qi Yue said.

"How to thank them? By offering yourself?" Luo Luo laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Yue said lightly.

Xiao Yu suddenly cheered at this moment and jumped up.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?" The three girls were at a loss.

"Can I go do the task now?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Go, go! But still be careful." Qi Yue said.

"It's okay! Bu Xiao doesn't have the time now, the chase is still going on!" Luo Luo said.

"Sister Luo Luo, you're sitting here and haven't gone out! How do you know so much about the outside news?" Lie Lie asked strangely.

"I'm chatting privately with their group leader, he told me." Luo Luo said.

In another private room three rooms away from the four girls, everyone was criticizing Han Jia Gong Zi: "You should drink! Why are you always in a daze!"

"Don't make noise!" Han Jia Gong Zi said, "I'm talking business with the employer! After working so hard this time, how can I not charge more fees!"

"It should be! It should be!" The four nodded in unison.

"Then this time, is it Qian Li who gets the biggest share again?" You Ge asked cautiously.

Jian Gui nodded: "It should be!"

Everyone cried bitterly. "We're just a bunch of wage earners!" Yu Tian Shen Ming wailed, "Qian Li, I hate you!!!"

"Ah嚏!!" Gu Fei, who had just killed Bu Xiao for the tenth time, sneezed.

"I'm really exhausted today." Gu Fei muttered to himself, but, it's not over yet...

"The masked assassin ran away!" A scream, a bunch of players ran forward, sometimes forming a "人" character, sometimes forming a "一" character.
