It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Eternal Night Street

Eternal night shrouds this block, neon lights flicker in the darkness, casting brilliant and blurry light and shadows. Tall buildings stand on both sides of the street, and huge electronic screens hang on the walls of the buildings, playing various flashing cyber-style advertisements and association propaganda.

Pedestrians are walking through the streets, wearing different clothes, and there are even many Western faces. On both sides of the street are various game halls and electronic entertainment venues, with gorgeous and sci-fi decorations.

Some people were smoking in dark corners, and they were sitting on the ground with bottles of wine scattered all over the floor.

Laughing, drinking, and living in the present moment without worrying about the future.

The two took Xiao Huai to an underground club.

The word "Falcon" was written in colorful fluorescent light at the entrance of the club. Before entering, I could already hear the sound of coins falling and games being completed from inside.

"Next level!! Congratulations!" The chicken's notification voice excitedly repeated the message of congratulations.

A faint laugh came from inside the door.

The pancake-faced man knocked on the door first and said into the microphone at the door: "Miss, we've brought the person here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crackling sound of electricity came from the speakers, followed by a click from the door.

The pancake-faced man looked at Xiao Huai and said, "You can go in now."

Xiao Huai walked downstairs. The hall was filled with thick smoke and flickering lights. The music from the game console was so loud that it hurt his ears. The walls were covered with all kinds of graffiti.

There is a pool table in the middle of the hall, and on the pool table there is a yellow chicken that keeps jumping around and saying "next level".

The girl was wearing an ordinary black sweatshirt, cut loose and casually, with the hood covering most of her hair, leaving only a strand of pink hair visible.

She was blowing bubble gum in her mouth, and next to her stood a few young people who were playing ball with her.

"Miss, the people are here."

The girl raised her eyes lazily, met the round-faced man's gaze, and then slowly moved her gaze to the right.

She put away her golf club and slowly walked towards Xiao Huai while chewing gum.

Coldly: "Alone? Aren't you afraid that we will rob you?"

Although the girl is only 1.5 meters tall, she has an aura that does not belong to her height.

Xiao Huai chuckled, "If I could rob or kill people at will in the standby world, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to leave the game hall."

The girl raised her eyebrows noncommittally and put her hands in her pockets.

"Tian Xia, the president of the Falcon. What's your name?"

"Xiao Huai."

"How did Hui Yulian die?" Tian Xia stared at Xiao Huai quietly, her eyes seeming to see through him.

Unfortunately, she had no idea what Xiao Huai was thinking.

Seeing that Xiao Huai didn't speak for a long time, Tian Xia directly transferred 5,000 survival coins to Xiao Huai, showing his wealth.

"That should be enough. So, how did she die?"

Xiao Huai smiled faintly and whispered, "Hu Jiang."

He only said Hu Jiang's name.

Tian Xia's pupils shrank slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her fists clenched involuntarily.

No one spoke for a long time.

The two younger brothers who had just brought Xiao Huai here thought their young lady was angry and asked in a servile manner, "Young lady, is this kid..."

Tian Xia rolled her eyes at them, feeling deeply that the IQ of her own organization's members was worrying.

"There's nothing for you to do now, you can go first." She waved her hand, and the two men bowed respectfully and left.

Tian Xia handed the cue to Xiao Huai and said, "Want to play billiards?"

Xiao Huai looked at her calmly, his eyes seemed to contain a bottomless lake.

"You don't seem surprised."

Tian Xia shook her head, went back to the pool table and took out a new cue.

"Life and death are determined by fate. I've seen countless deaths and deaths, and I've long understood this truth... I just didn't expect Hu Jiang to be the one to do it."

Seeing Xiao Huai slowly approaching, the young men who were originally around Tian Xia all retreated.

Tian Xia bent down slightly, gripped the club with a little force, and hit the white ball. She didn't look at how many balls she finally scored, but raised her head and looked at Xiao Huai with a complicated look, and asked in a low voice: "Are you a newcomer?"

Xiao Huai did not answer her question immediately, but aimed the club at the white ball and pushed hard, and the white ball kept hitting and turning.

The three remaining balls on the billiard ball entered the net in a perfect arc.

Perhaps because Xiao Huai was so dazzling when he played, Tian Xia couldn't take her eyes off him.

Until Xiao Huai's voice reached his ears: "I guess so, what about you?"

Tian Xia turned around and called up the system interface, on which was written a string of very conspicuous characters.

Players who have cleared the eighth-level game dungeon

But there was no trace of complacency in Tian Xia's eyes, and there was even an inexplicable sadness.

She whispered to herself, "From the moment they enter the game, most people have only two options: commit suicide or go crazy."

She lowered her head and then raised her eyes past Xiao Huai, looking at the graffiti in the basement. There were many eagles and birds and some funny emoticons on the graffiti.

The yellow chick seemed to have sensed something and jumped into Tian Xia's arms. Tian Xia lowered her eyes, frowned, and spoke slowly with some nostalgia.

“In the beginning, our organization actually only had five players, and the purpose of our existence was to make it easier for newcomers to survive in this game.

We provided free intelligence to new players and helped them through dungeons. Later, the organization grew and more and more people joined us.

But because of this... the situation became increasingly uncontrollable.

The system seemed to be punishing us. The gods were offering olive branches to our organization members. Most players became their followers. They no longer helped new players in the game like they used to. Instead, they were harming them, even for the sake of live broadcast effects...

Kill your colleagues."

Xiao Huai listened quietly. Tian Xia sighed, "Perhaps, the Thriller Game cannot have a Madonna organization like ours. No. To be precise, the Thriller Game wants to see us humans killing each other. Now, they are all gone. I am the only original member of the Falcon left. I can't take care of so many people.

Perhaps, before long, our entire organization will become believers in the gods, constantly harming newcomers. Just like them."

"Who are you referring to when you say they are?" Xiao Huai asked in a low voice.

Tian Xia pulled up a poster of an association organization, the center of which was a group of laughing clowns.

"JOKER, you probably haven't heard of this organization. It was once one of the most powerful organizations in the Huaxia region. Later, their members disappeared en masse. When they returned, they had become a gathering place for followers of the evil god."
