I'm bad, but players love me

I don’t know if it’s because there’s no one available or if there are other worries.

Ella sat alone for a long time, then suddenly muttered to herself, "Fati, I don't know why the news of those nobles' escape never reached my ears, nor did it reach yours either. But, you'd better stand on my side now..."

……

It is normal to have bullets and artillery shells covering the sky and the earth on the battlefield, but it is not normal if all this firepower comes from one person.

Yun Shuo raised his head from the soil with difficulty, shook his head to shake off the dirt on his head, and then tapped his ears with his palms to confirm whether his hearing was still normal.

"This...what the hell is going on?" Yun Shuo stared at the sky with wide eyes. Finally, he regained some consciousness and asked the system, "This guy is cheating, right? Didn't you say that the other nobles had already evacuated? How come Fati and Ella can cause such a big scene now?"

The system fell into a rare moment of silence before reconnecting, saying, "This is normal. After all, the nobles you're currently fighting are mostly minor characters."

As if worried about failing to convince Yun Shuo, it explained with an example: "Look, three-star Lumi was able to escape, and four-star Setash... uh... was killed by Ella. Never mind, he's not important. Anyway, Ella is still a five-star character, so it's normal for her to be a bit powerful."

However, Yun Shuo's eyes revealed a sharp suspicion, and he asked directly: "What are you hiding?"

The characters killed by ELO were not all small characters. Some high-star noble characters who were fearless of death also died at the hands of ELO.

The system's words at this moment seemed to be testing whether Yun Shuo's memory had become blurred, attempting to use lies to cover up some unknown secrets.

But why does it do this?

Yun Shuo frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked directly, "Do I have to die?"

This statement was so blunt that the system froze for a moment, but it still said, "Yes. Not only must you die, but Ella must also live, alive and well with all her limbs intact."

Yun Shuo just recalled that the system had mentioned in the past that the game "Crisis of Faith" seemed to be a completely free game, but in fact it was secretly doing something of "selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat" - there were several fixed main storylines in secret.

It was precisely because the system had previously opened a copy for itself that players later forced the company to create the ELO camp.

However, this incident not only allowed Yun Shuo and the ELO organization to have their own dungeon that did not require a large amount of whitewashing value to run, but also pulled Yun Shuo's story trajectory out of the framework created for him by the system and stepped directly into the dungeon world planned by the company.

After all, this is no longer a copy that the system obtained for Yun Shuo by whitewashing the value. The final outcome of the copy is naturally no longer decided by Yun Shuo, who owns the system, but by the company who firmly holds the right to speak.

In other words, Yun Shuo may still have the final say on the course of the plot, but major events like the ending are directly controlled by the company.

So, now the company wants Yun Shuo to die, and Yun Shuo has to die.

Yun Shuo's existence has touched their bottom line of interests. He has forced them to spend more time and effort to deal with and handle the players' unnecessary emotions, thus wasting money and resources.

Therefore, for the company, Yun Shuo must go offline after dealing with the players.

At this point, Ella no longer had to die - she had no chance of turning things around, so there was no need for Yun Shuo to drag her to death at the cost of his own life.

The smoke of war gradually dissipated as Willis successfully persuaded the lord of the neighboring city to recognize his identity as Setash.

This magnificent struggle had actually come to an end at that moment. Now, everything before us is just the faint aftermath of the war.

Ella wasn't stupid, and even if she was, neither was Fati.

Perhaps Ella will resolutely fight to the death with ELO for the glory of "City Lord", but Fati will not watch Ella, the "treasure pot", die with ELO casually. This is not in Fati's interest.

So when the Kori army's strength was gradually exhausted, Fati would not hesitate to pull Ella away from the battlefield.

But this way, Yun Shuo wouldn't die. External pressure and urgency were the catalyst for his showdown with Ella. Without sufficient external pressure, Yun Shuo wouldn't have fought Ella to the death.

Therefore, the only reason for Yun Shuo to fight Ella now is that ELO has suffered countless casualties, and all he needs to do is kill Ella - this is what led to the collapse of combat power this time.

Before the system responded, Yun Shuo chuckled softly, his laughter revealing a hint of self-mockery and helplessness. "Then I really have to thank the company for so cleverly designing such a dead end for me. It allows me to maintain my character while also finding the motivation to commit suicide."

[Host…] The system was a little reluctant and a little angry, [But I told you from the beginning, you won't survive more than a few days like this.]

"System, please lend me another loan." Yun Shuo suddenly smiled with his eyes curved.

【Huh?】 The system didn’t hear what Ming Shuo was saying and subconsciously asked back.

But Yun Shuo ignored it and went straight to the front line to find Ah Dai hiding in the trench.

At this moment, Ah Dai was wailing frantically in the live broadcast room, "What's going on? What's going on? Darkened is ten times stronger, and whitened is three points weaker, right? Ella, Ella, why didn't I know you were so good at fighting?"

Ah Dai's eyes were fixed on the rising casualty figures on the screen, and he was almost numb. His voice was full of fear and confusion, "So you were pretending when you ended up in the noble camp? Yun Shuo could still drag you to death? I think you could slap someone to the sky with one slap! And you're still pretending to be weak, innocent and pitiful? Why don't you pretend now?"

I was a bit confused that ELO had won so far, thinking it was just some ugly cheat. And, it was almost the end, so why not just a simple happy ending and then a crazy death?

"What are you doing, you idiot? I advise you to open your eyes and see, this is the ELO camp! This is our ELO camp! Not the Noble camp!"

[Is this cheating? This is definitely cheating, right?]

[A-Dai, go up and blow up Ella! ]

[This is hilarious! This is actually an Easter egg Di Chou arranged specifically for Ah Dai, right? He didn't get his wish before, so this time he's fulfilling Ah Dai's wish to become "human explosives."]

[No, it's not working. Last time, there was a bug. This time, I guess I'll have to start over.]

"No? What is Yun Shuo doing here now?" Ah Dai's gaze, which had been about to be distracted by Ella, focused again as Yun Shuo approached. He pressed the dialog box, "Commander, what are your instructions?"

Yun Shuo smiled and said, "Comrade Ah Dai, you have been in ELO for a long time. Your prestige has long taken root in everyone's hearts."

His eyes revealed his immense trust in Ah Dai. "In a moment, no matter what happens, I implore you to ensure that all ELO members return safely and don't let them get separated. Once we leave the territory of Kori City, everything will be difficult to handle."

After his death, the ELO members probably wouldn't let it go. If a few more fools showed up and insisted on hunting down Ella, who was destined to survive, they would have died in vain.

Ah Dai is different. After all, she is a player and has a natural dominance over the game NPCs. I believe this little thing can still be solved.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Shuo finished speaking, Ah Dai accepted this small task.

[Okay.] Ah Dai responded obediently.

Her mind was still immersed in the shocking "divine power" that Ella had just displayed, and she didn't notice anything wrong with Yun Shuo's particularly formulaic words.

Afterwards, Yun Shuo went straight to find Ella.

Strangely enough, the plot seemed to have already paved a path for Yun Shuo to confront Ella to death.

Along the way, Yun Shuo never saw any soldiers from the Cori Army, as if the entire battlefield had given way to them. This made his search for Ella unusually smooth, and he could see Ella almost as soon as he looked up.

Yun Shuo suddenly stopped and looked into the distance, as if remembering something. "System, is there a river nearby?"

I had been thinking that I didn't have to die and almost forgot about it.

[Yes, but it's quite far away. What are you going to do?] The system asked in confusion.

Yun Shuo's lips curled up into a cynical smile, "I don't want to die in this damn place."

The system seemed to be startled by his words and quickly said: [But according to the plot setting, Yun Shuo's fate is predetermined. He must die.]

"Yes, but it's Yun Shuo who is going to die. What does it have to do with me, the commander of the ELO organization?" Yun Shuo said with confidence.

[But it's so far, how are you going to get there?] The system remembered that Yun Shuo had discussed this with it before.

"Just like you sent me back from the banquet hall to the basement of the slums, this time you're sending me to the river. It's a good start." Yun Shuo replied with a grin, "You said it yourself, 'After pulling the explosives, dump it in the water. If you try hard, I can still survive.'"

[But... the item that can hold Ella back and make her endure the explosion without using divine power to resist is quite expensive...] The system silently calculated the whitewashing value and couldn't help but wail in its heart: I won't have to take out a loan again, will I?

In the days before, Yun Shuo only left a portion of the whitewashing value as his last resort.

The rest was used generously by him to narrow the technological gap between the Cori Army and the ELO organization.

Even so, the gap is still huge, but at least there is something other than guns.

By this calculation, there is not much whitewashing value left.

Yun Shuo's eyes wandered upwards nonchalantly. "Ella won't die anyway, so just give her something cheap. The rest will do. I think it's fine."

Almost? Who is almost like you! The system was secretly jumping around.

Whose system can be made like mine every day? I don’t want to make my system. Come on, you do it. I want to see how much you can lend out!

Chapter 135: Plot Kill

When Ella's eyes accidentally caught sight of Yun Shuo's leisurely walking figure, her heart trembled suddenly and she subconsciously tightened the gun in her hand.

What's going on? Why is Yun Shuo here at this time?

Ella knew that the current situation of the Cori army had no chance of winning, and she never expected that the situation could be turned around.

The current battle situation also proved that her idea was correct, but now Yun Shuo had fallen into a trap? Why?

It was obvious that as long as Yun Shuo continued to survive, ELO would win and he would be able to successfully become the city lord.

Even if I will make him roll down from the position of city lord in the future, that is a matter for later.

What was he doing coming over here now? Could it be that he had suddenly lost his mind and wanted to die for fun?

But after seeing Yun Shuo strolling leisurely in the garden as if this land was his territory, Ella did not want to show her weakness and quickly adjusted her mood.

She straightened her back, suppressed the confusion on her face, and tried hard to maintain that unattainable attitude, as if she had already anticipated Yun Shuo's arrival and everything was under her control.

Fati was originally standing beside Ella. She held the gun tightly and looked ahead with a firm face, as if she was loyal to Ella and ready to protect her master at any time.

After all, the better off we are at least, the better.

But when Yun Shuo's figure came into view, her heart felt a subtle fluctuation.

Although she knew that Yun Shuo was surrounded by the Cori army at the moment, and although she understood that showing protection for Ella at this moment would definitely deepen her impression of loyalty in the city lord's heart, Fati still chose to take a step back.

It’s better not to have this good impression.

She didn't dare to gamble, for fear that Yun Shuo, this madman, would do something big.

After all, it's okay to pretend, but it's unnecessary to risk your life to pretend. The price is too heavy, and it will not be worth it.

So, Fati moved a few steps quietly and stood behind Ella cleverly.

Then she continued silently in her heart: "Yun Shuo, Yun Shuo, if you have anything to do, go find her, don't look for me."

The two of them just stared quietly at Yun Shuo's gradually approaching figure.

"It seems that the battle is almost over, right?" Ella shook her head slightly, and threw the ponytail that fell to her chest and was covered with dust and black smoke to her back, trying her best to maintain a trace of calmness and dignity.

She had never been in such a miserable state since she was born, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

This was Ella's first time stepping onto the battlefield in person. Although she had commanded every battle with ELO behind the scenes, this was indeed her first time seeing what the battlefield looked like with her own eyes.

For the first time, she witnessed a vast, endless stream of people charging forward while standing, and then suddenly collapsing. Those nearby were somewhat frightened, but when they turned around and saw themselves standing behind them, they had no choice but to continue charging forward.

A mocking smile appeared on Yun Shuo's lips. He turned his gaze to Ella, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Compared with Ella, he could be described as "in a miserable state", with his face as black as a piece of charcoal.

She is nothing like Ella. Even when she is on the battlefield, her face is still clean and white, which is out of place in this smoke-filled battlefield.

When Yun Shuo leisurely stopped a few meters in front of Ella, the soldiers of the Cori Army seemed to have received some kind of signal. They quickly raised their guns, and more than a dozen guns were pointed at him.

Faced with such a scene, Yun Shuo simply shrugged nonchalantly, his smile growing even wider. "Oh? Lord City Lord, is this how you treat your guests?"

"This is how I treat guests on the battlefield!" Ella smiled hypocritically, but the corners of her mouth fell before they even raised them.

She stared at Yun Shuo with an extremely cold look in her eyes and asked in a harsh tone, "Yun Shuo, what exactly are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything. It's enough to make you stop." Yun Shuo raised his eyebrows and responded fearlessly.

After saying this, he actually lowered his head, smiled and shook his head slightly, as if he had already accepted everything in front of him, "This is what I have to do."

Ella was so stunned by Yun Shuo's answer that she choked up for a moment. She wanted to laugh, but was also speechless. Yun Shuo's absurd logic was really hard to understand.

"Is this your purpose? What kind of reason is that? What kind of necessity is that? Anyway, your ELO organization has quite a few people now, so what does a few deaths matter?"

Ella was a little choked with anger, and she pointed at Yun Shuo's nose and cursed, "I've never seen you care about these people's lives before. So many people died before, and everyone tried to persuade you to stop, but you didn't listen to a single one. And now a few more people have died, and you're going to die in vain? Are you okay?"

Ella admitted that she didn't know why, but she did perform well today, even exceptionally well. She didn't usually perform like this, but that was definitely not the reason why Yun Shuo came to her alone.

Is it possible that the life of the ELO commander is not as valuable as the lives of those ordinary members?

Yun Shuo's coming here may indeed save the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary ELO members, but he himself will definitely not be able to go back.

Also, how did Yun Shuo get here?

Ella suddenly discovered a blind spot.

If he encountered a Kori soldier on the road, he should have been killed, right? Speaking of which, why were the dozen or so guns aimed at Yun Shuo only aimed at him after he spoke, as if waking from a dream?

Before I spoke, these people couldn't see that Yun Shuo had arrived, right?

But after hearing her scolding, Yun Shuo didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Because the previous ones were necessary, but this one is unnecessary."

They shouldn't have died at the hands of Ella, but they died at the hands of Ella because the company gave her a cheat. How unnecessary.

"So... you came here to die?" Ella really didn't expect that Yun Shuo actually thought so.

She stared at Yun Shuo as if she was examining an extremely crazy alien.

She couldn't say that Yun Shuo was a fool, because if she did, she would be a bigger fool for being defeated by him, so she could only call Yun Shuo a lunatic.

Ella's voice was filled with disbelief as she screamed, "You're such a lunatic! No wonder the ELO guys you brought up are also a bunch of lunatics!"
