Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1252 - 1164: Trapped

"Thank you for the reminder, I’ll be careful."

Worried about blowing his cover, Su Ran deliberately lowered his voice, nodded at the unfamiliar mage, thanked him, and then turned and left the area.

"Didn’t I tell you to take off that black robe? Why did you ignore my advice?"

Seeing Su Ran walking further away, the mage shook his head and muttered to himself, "He clearly hasn’t been to the Imperial City for a long time, this naive boy. He doesn’t listen to good advice; he’ll learn his lesson!"

"I really wonder what sparks will fly if ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ returns to the Imperial City? I’m truly looking forward to it..."

The player mage let out a sigh and then turned to head towards the marketplace, hoping to find a treasure. That feeling of scoring a great deal is something anyone who has played a game could relate to.

...

"Wow, I’ve really become an oddity, does this attire draw so much attention?"

Su Ran felt the players’ intense stares, and only then did he realize the trouble his attire was causing him; it was far from simple!

It seemed the deterrent power of the Dancing Demons guild had deeply penetrated people’s hearts. It’s better to avoid trouble. Also, having stolen a Platinum BOSS, it was the bandwagon players who would end up taking the blame, which was a major reason they had forsaken the black robes and staff.

"Hey, look, there’s actually someone bold enough to wear a black robe and mask in the Imperial City. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

"This is going to be good, bros, keep close, we can’t miss this!"

The player who spoke was clearly fond of drama, afraid the spectacle wouldn’t be enough, he eagerly sent several messages to his Dancing Demons guild friends, spontaneously taking on the role of a scout and continuously sending Su Ran’s coordinates.

"But what if it really is ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’?"

"If it is, that’s even better, I just fear this news won’t be explosive enough!"

"Whether it’s true or not, the players from the Dancing Demons guild aren’t fools; we just need to wait and see how things evolve."

These people temporarily abandoned their own tasks and followed Su Ran, all hoping for an exciting development.

Some had already started recording the entire journey, just hoping to post a hot thread on the forum with pictures as proof. If this didn’t go viral, it would be against all reason!

...

"Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?"

Su Ran unexpectedly found that he was as coveted as Tang Monk’s flesh, pursued wherever he went by the group of players behind him, just like a swarm of flies.

"Anyway, this is a safe zone. Even if these guys have ill intentions, they don’t have the guts. Let them follow if they want; just report and move on. It’s no big deal."

Su Ran didn’t take it seriously, but his walking speed had increased quite a bit, and he quickly reached the New Year’s event envoy and went straight to the topic, opening the interface about the competition.

Fortunately for Su Ran, there weren’t many players around this NPC, so there was no need to queue for a task. He followed the prompted procedures and successfully registered.

"Ding, congratulations to player ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ for obtaining the qualification for the martial arts tournament, expected to perform beyond expectations and achieve outstanding results!"

The system notification sounded, but Su Ran felt no joy. This damned system broadcasted it in the current channel, metaphorically stirring the hornet’s nest, and instantly the crowd erupted in discussion.

"Did you hear that? The system just confirmed it’s ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained,’ the officials have testified, it certainly can’t be fake!"

"Damn, this is going to be interesting!"

"Block him quickly, we must not let him escape!"

"Are you out of your mind? This is a safe zone, you block him if you want—I’m not getting thrown in jail!"

"Make way, make way! Dancing Demons are handling this, all others step aside!"

As the players were discussing, suddenly a noisy ruckus erupted from behind, and a group of well-equipped players charged through, parting the crowd and surrounding Su Ran.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, don’t even hope for luck; you’re surrounded, and even if you had wings, you wouldn’t be able to fly out!"

The leading warrior, with a fierce look, led his team closer to Su Ran and sneered, "Just quietly wait for Leader Dai to come, he wants to have a word with you!"

"Hey, that’s really interesting, being so narcissistic to this extent, you must be sick, hurry and find a hospital before it’s too late! Oh, right, why should I listen to you guys?"

Su Ran scoffed, reviewed the duel process briefly, and directly activated his Instant Movement skill.

"Huh?"

He was surprised to find that the Instant Movement skill was greyed out and unusable.

Not only that, even the Teleportation Scroll was sealed. Su Ran then realized that what the warrior player had said was true; they indeed came prepared and had sealed the teleportation capabilities in this area.

"Haha, stop wasting your effort. Just because this is a safe zone doesn’t mean we can’t touch you. Leader Dai has a thousand ways to make you wish for death!"

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, you’re quite bold to have messed with Leader Dai, completely ignorant of what’s coming to you. Regretting now, aren’t you? Too late!!!"

The players from the Dancing Demons guild surged towards Su Ran aggressively. Though they didn’t wield weapons, their murderous intent was no less intense.

"Man, it looks like Dancing Demons guild is getting serious! This time, it seems Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is really in trouble."

"Isn’t that obvious? Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is just one guy; even if he had extraordinary abilities, he’d still be trapped here. Keeping him here for a day and a night is no problem, missing the big competition would be a huge loss!"

"I wonder if Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained will bow down and admit his mistakes. If he really does that, I’m going to lose respect for him!"

Those enjoying the spectacle knew that the critical moment had arrived; all eyes were now focused on Su Ran, waiting on his next move.

"Tell Dai Xuan to stop doing these pointless things; it’s both troublesome and costly. How embarrassing would it be if I managed to escape? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for Dancing Demons?"

Unfazed, Su Ran spoke in a mocking tone, "With so many spectators watching the great show, I might as well bash my head against a south wall, can’t afford to lose face like that!"

"Sharp tongued! Let’s see how long you can keep this up, block him up and give him hell!"

The warrior player, frustrated by Su Ran’s words, was utterly annoyed. To this extent and still not yielding, it was clear he wasn’t taking them seriously! Was it because he didn’t look fierce enough?

"Haha, big brother, rest assured, this kid definitely can’t escape!"

"The timing of the sealed field is all under control, unless something unexpected happens, he’s going to spend his life in the safe zone!"

"Hahaha, we must teach him a profound lesson, make him doubt his life choices!"

Everyone casually discussed Su Ran’s impending doom without any regard for discretion—it didn’t matter if he knew; the outcome was already certain, nothing could help him now!

"Hey, I don’t have time to waste with you guys, I’m out!"

With a mocking smile, Su Ran directly summoned the little zombie.
