My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 372 - 324: Train to the Snow Country [Double-Length - ]

Xu Xiaoyou suddenly fell silent as she finally figured out where the hatred from the lower carriage people towards her stemmed from.

The doctor she played was the initiator of the plague on the train?

What concerned her even more was, why was it her who was chosen to play the doctor.

Because of her Charm Transcendent?

She looked at the players following the soldiers' return from a short distance, including the pink-haired girl from the beginning and the unlucky player who died in the opening plot, this group initially had twenty-six people, now only seventeen and a half remained.

As for why it was seventeen and a half...

A dazed player in the corner scratched his head, one of his arms missing, losing a large amount of blood, his health diminishing by the second, yet he stood in place, as if unable to feel pain.

This guy had turned off the pain feedback system, at this rate of blood loss, death was not far off.

In Oasis, pain feedback can be turned off, but every seasoned player would sternly scold rookies for doing so.

This causes a severe sensation discrepancy between virtual and reality when they exit the immerser.

Still revolving around the issue of Sea of Consciousness shift, like how people on the Star of Art were cursed by the Stars, those in Chichu Heaven were incessantly attacked by fear, while those in Oasis suffered from Sea of Consciousness displacement symptoms.

There is only one permanent solution, which is not to leave Oasis, not to return to reality, naturally erasing sensory discrepancies.

This made her think of Alley Five, when a person's soul and consciousness are forever imprisoned in Oasis' virtual world this way, can it be, to an extent, considered akin to being consumed by a monster?

Forever becoming a piece of data in this vast virtual world of Oasis, essentially nourishment.

When the real body's decline reaches a certain level, there is inevitably only one outcome after choosing to leave the immerser.

—Entropy turns to distortion.

Those 'Dreamers' turned into mummies in the immersion pods, in the end, was it truly their willing choice to stay in this virtual world?

This speculation made Xu Xiaoyou's spine chill.

Suddenly, a young man burst out from the crowd, maddened, clutching a small knife, charging towards Xu Xiaoyou:

"You killed Nana!"

A foul stench wafted from the young man's body, yet before he could reach Xu Xiaoyou, the soldiers on either side, already prepared, swiftly moved, effortlessly subduing him, pinning him to the ground.

"Don't move! Stay put!" A soldier yelled, another soldier, already accustomed to handling such situations, pressed a knee on the young man's neck while raising a gun to intimidate the twitchy lower-standing people nearby.

Seeing the dark gun muzzle aimed at them, those lower-standing people silently released their clenched fists, the grim faces deepening further, two elderly individuals huddled together in weeping.

"You damn..."

The young man gritted his teeth, raising his head. Xu Xiaoyou, expressionless, hands tucked within a white lab coat, looked down upon him, her indifferent amber eyes gleaming beautifully in the darkness.

"You killed Nana, even as a ghost I won't forgive you..."

"You Demon, you killed everyone, you caused so many to be displaced, families broken, even in death we won't forgive you..."

Xu Xiaoyou said nothing, Tang Qing beside her saw the two soldiers roughly drag the young man up, opened her mouth to say something, then silently lowered her head without speaking.

The two soldiers opened the steel observation port below the train window, outside was a world of ice and snow, distant cities covered by heavy snow, frozen into magnificent white sculptures, turned into blood-silence gray shadows, the blizzard howled unabatedly.

The lower-level people watched helplessly as two soldiers dragged the young man, despite his struggling screams, stretched his arm outside, a heart-wrenching scream echoed, the young man soon lost consciousness, and when the arm was pulled back it became a stiff icy sculpture.

In the darkness came a heavy dragging sound, like a massive figure dragging a Heavy Hammer across the steel floor.

In the shadows, a slim bionic robot wearing a silver mask slowly stepped out, dragging a several hundred-pound enormous hammer, its flawless, smooth body exuding a strong bloody scent, like an executioner who has carried out countless deaths.

Seeing this robot, everyone including the soldiers quickly lowered their heads as if facing a nightmare, not daring to look again at the beautifully shaped figure.

"Fools, I shall mete out punishment."

Everyone stared horrified as the bionic robot gripped the heavy hammer handle with both hands, swinging it violently to smash down onto the young man's frozen stiff arm, stained icy fragments flew like torrential rain, sweeping across the entire carriage!

"Usurper, I shall impose extreme punishment!"

Everyone averted their eyes unbearably at the scene, the compartment filled with the young man's wails, yet the bionic robot advanced under everyone's gaze to Xu Xiaoyou's side, kneeling on one knee, lifted its head, reverently held Xu Xiaoyou's hand, placing it against its cheek.

"I have dealt with the usurper for you, Doctor."

Xu Xiaoyou's heart stirred slightly, yet remained unmoved on the surface: "Withdraw."

After speaking, she withdrew her hand, melting into the darkness with Xiaoqing amidst the different gazes of people present.

All along the way, soldiers from the lower carriages showed great reverence to her, nodding in greeting, though the depths of their eyes bore resentful hatred identical to those lower-standing people, yet with patrols of bionic robots towering like mountains, slender like apparitions, no one dared to lay hands on her.
