The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

After exchanging some information with each other intermittently in the hotel room, the group continued their conversation.

Just then, through the door, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted in the hallway outside.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if something heavy slammed into the door of the room they were in, producing a loud thud.

"What happened?" Wang Defa sprang up from the sofa in the room with a swift movement.

He looked out through the peephole.

"Wow, it's so lively, there are so many people." He exclaimed as he looked around.

"What's wrong?" His younger sister, Li Lan, walked to his side, pushed him aside, and looked at him.

Li Can hurriedly put on his "Little Lamb in Wolf's Clothing" cloak, transforming back into his eerie appearance.

"It looks like this indigenous person isn't going to make it." Wang Defa gestured in the air.

"She was grabbed by the hair and slammed against our door by a monster, her face covered in blood. It looks like she offended a guest. Now, many monsters and humans have opened their doors to watch."

"This time we've really run into some shady customers. They're already in this state and they're still doing this."

Li Lan observed the situation and saw that the woman was being dragged to the other side of the corridor again, so he slowly opened the door.

The three of them slipped out unnoticed and blended into the crowd of onlookers.

Their negotiations were almost over, and there was nothing more to discuss. Now that something was happening in the corridor, they could come out and take a look.

"Guest, I was wrong. Please don't eat me. I'll do whatever you ask. Please, have mercy and let me go." The woman looked to be in her early thirties, but she was well-maintained. Her delicate face was covered with blood and tears.

Even though her face was covered in blood and tears, her beauty was still undeniable.

The work clothes she was wearing were torn and damaged by external force, leaving one shoulder exposed and her collarbone showing signs of being bitten.

Li Can squinted, unable to bear to look. This kind of thing, no matter the context, was an act of abuse by the perpetrator.

In a modern civilized society, we could help her call the police and let everyone uphold justice.

However, this is a completely destroyed game world, and no matter how miserable these NPCs are, no one can help her anymore.

The indigenous people lived in fear and numbness; no matter how unwilling they were, they could not fight against the powerful.

The eerie guests were not all friendly; most of them were quite violent and aggressive.

Today, I can kill whoever I want.

This is also the hope of the indigenous people who strive to obtain the full amount of the certificate to leave the city, change their identity to become ghosts, and then come down to the city to play.

No matter how miserable their lives were before, once they rise to power, they will become the next monsters who bully others without having to worry about being punished.

Li Can was unsure whether the strange guest was actually his own lingering soul or simply the twisted sense of humor of the city dwellers.

He continued to observe without making a sound.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I can change." The woman knelt in front of the strange guest and frantically kowtowed to it on the corridor floor.

Until the skin on his forehead had broken open.

[Now I know I was wrong, but my patience has run out. It's too late.]

[You used to ignore me and look down on me when I was in the city. Today, I've finally saved enough money to leave the city, and I'm back to punish you, you filthy bitch.]

【What, now you're too scared to mess with me? If you want to live, you'd better take off all your clothes right now in front of everyone, and then follow me out for a parade.】

If I were in a good mood, I might forgive you and let you continue living.

A dark green, eerie aura drifted across the floor, while dialog boxes and bullet comments kept popping up above people's heads.

The abject locals, who had initially just come to watch, were moved by what it said.

Some were shocked, some were indignant on behalf of the woman, and some couldn't stand it and silently turned and left.

At the same time, a large number of guests and locals rushed over after hearing the noise.

Therefore, the number of people at the scene did not decrease but increased.

The strange guests that were scattered around seemed quite pleased, and some pop-up dialog boxes cheered for it.

Well done!

【You really know how to have fun! This is interesting.】

This job is good today, I'll watch it a little longer.

The woman's eyes glazed over, and she became utterly desperate.

"So it was you? You actually left the city today... I'm sorry, but we really aren't a good match. I never mocked you like that before. This must be a misunderstanding."

"It's all a misunderstanding. Please, don't treat me like this. I won't be able to survive in the city. I'd rather die now."

"Please help me, everyone! I really never looked down on it, it's all a misunderstanding..."

She stiffly turned her head, seemingly trying to find someone in the crowd willing to lend her a hand.

But not a single indigenous person responded to her.

The guests, always eager for a good show, were just adding fuel to the fire.

She was still being stubborn. I said, "Are you even capable? You didn't hit her hard enough."

[You lowly human, you're disgusting and a disgrace. Just eat her already. You simp, you even came back to her after leaving the city. That's all you're capable of.]

"Can you hurry up and take it off? You're so slow. If you really can't, have someone else help you."

The younger sister stood beside Li Can, her clenched fists cracking.

Sensing the disturbance, Li Can looked at her, feeling somewhat helpless. He had now recognized who this strange troublemaker was.

It must be the same crazy man I encountered when I went to the city gate to check the terrain.

What a coincidence that we met here again.

I didn't realize he was this kind of person back then, but now he's really pushing the boundaries of what's what.

It has just molted and become a monster. Currently, there is no one from the upper city controlling it. If you really want to kill it, you just need to take it to a secluded corner and deal with it quickly.

The people in the upper city won't be alerted.

However, this is definitely not a good time for the younger sister to make a move, since there are other strange beings disguised as humans around.

Exposing their player identities benefits no one.

Thinking it over, Li Can used his tentacles, which were in a bizarre form, to press down on his sister's tense hands, giving her a signal to calm down temporarily.

Wang Defa leaned against the corridor wall, his face full of resentment. The scene made him so angry that his hair almost stood on end. He muttered something under his breath, which only Li Can could hear clearly.

"Damn it, what a piece of scum! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I'll kill all of you bastards sooner or later."

"Peach Blossom, what should we do? Should we just leave it at that, or go back to our posts?" He leaned close to Li Can and asked, still using the code name Li Can had given them before.

The woman had completely accepted reality, her eyes tightly closed. In the end, she still didn't have the courage to decide to die, and began to peel off her clothes one by one.

He stood naked before everyone's eyes, like a walking corpse, strode towards the exit of the corridor.

[If only we had done this earlier.] The eerie creature hovered around her, admiring her.

The large crowd followed and moved out of the mall.
