Chapter 105: Chapter 105 The Watchman Persists Through Wind and Rain_1

Fortunately, his shop was located at a higher level, so he didn’t have to worry about floods.

The real hassle came with the upcoming watchman task.

"This rain doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon..."

Mu You gazed at the torrential downpour outside the door, shaking his head.

He had no choice. Being a watchman was a fixed job, worth at least a year’s life. No matter how severe the wind and rain, he had to go.

He pulled out his cell phone and accessed the game.

The Mithril Bow had been successfully socketed by the blacksmith.

Mu You teleported his character to the Drunkard Blacksmith, walked over, and grabbed the weapon.

[You have received ’Mithril Bow (1 slot)’. Currently, no jewels loaded. Elixir applicable: Witch’s Poison. Would you like to add it now?]

"Yes!"

[You’ve poured a bottle of poison into the Mithril Bow’s slot. A faint poisonous mist is drifting from the silver-white bow. You can opt for the poison effect on the arrows. Upon hit, the enemy will be poisoned, slowing down by 10% and losing 5 HP per second for 120 seconds, Non-stackable. A maximum of ten poisoned arrows can be shot.]

"5 points per second for 120 seconds..."

Mu You pondered for a moment.

At first glance, only 5 points per second might seem inconsequential, but it accumulates.

If the opponent doesn’t have a detoxifier or dispel magic and gets poisoned for a full two minutes, then this single arrow could cause as much as 600 points of hefty poison damage!

Mu You’s current HP is only 700, without detoxification, his HP would bottom out! This rate of damage was scary, the only pity was that it wasn’t stackable, otherwise, the damage would be even higher.

He packed up the Mithril Bow, checked the time, and saw it was already 11:50 PM.

He rushed to the storage room to pull out a seldom-used raincoat and rain boots. After changing into the watchman’s skin, he bundled himself up tight with the raincoat and draped the Invisibility Cloak over it.

By now, Canary had automatically flown to his shoulder, hopping into the pocket on his chest to curl up and stay warm, with only its head peeking out.

Vivian was required to come with him on his watchman rounds.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he realized how outrageous the rain was.

The pouring rain mixed with the violent wind slapped against his face coldly, instantly blurring his vision.

Mu You wiped his face, but he wasn’t worried about being spotted in this kind of weather. Who would venture out in such a ghostly climate except those with tasks like him?

Thunder and lightning roared in the sky, the rain and thunder drowning out all sounds in the city.

There was no chance of wasting time on his phone tonight. Hoping to get it over within an hour, Mu You inadvertently walked back to the familiar park.

However, no sooner had he entered the park, he noticed something that infuriated him.

His throne!

The park bench that had been with him completing tasks for a month was toppled over!

"Damn it! Who did this? Have they no sense of public decency?"

Mu You hurried over to investigate.

The bench was uprooted and flipped over, something had smashed the middle part of it, deeply embedding it in the ground.

He quickly scanned the area, noticed signs of a brawl, and even found an eerie, charred circle on nearby grass.

From the scene, it seemed like a fight had just occurred, affecting his throne, and it was not a fight between ordinary people...

Mu You frowned, took the Pumpkin Lantern from his backpack, lit it, and shone it over the nearby ground.

The light from the Pumpkin Lantern wasn’t from a flame but the glow given off by the dust inside the bottle, so there was no need to worry about it being extinguished by the rain.

He looked around and indeed found a lot of messy footprints and bloodstains, as well as some faint blue light.

This was the residue of magic elements burning, indicating that someone had just used magic nearby.

"It’s indeed the work of a player..." thought Mu You.

These footprints seemed to belong to a considerable number of people, all leading in the same direction.

Following the trail, Mu You found the footprints led into the deep darkness of the park. The heavy rain obscured the distant light, making it hard to see clearly.

After some thought, Mu You decided to follow the trail and see what was happening.

After tracking for half an hour, with his superhuman hearing, Mu You finally heard the faint sound of a fight coming from ahead, blending with the sound of the rain and thunder, barely discernible.

Mu You turned off his pumpkin lantern and quietly approached.

As soon as he arrived nearby, he saw a fireball the size of a washbasin flying from somewhere in the distance, but before it hit anyone, it was mostly extinguished by the rain. The person being attacked just waved his Magic Wand casually, and a strong wind blew, dispersing the fireball directly.

As the firelight dissipated, Mu You finally saw a group of people confronting each other on the road ahead.

Seven people in uniform white clothes, forming a circle, surrounded a man in black, who was already bloodstained.

Recognizing the familiar uniforms of the people in white, Mu You instantly understood. Weren’t these the people from the Illuminati shown in the daytime video?

Unexpectedly, after the J city went under martial law, these people had come all the way to the adjacent K city.

Given this, could the black-clothed man they were surrounding be the source of the controversy, Cold Rain’s brother?

"Surrender, Gao Ziming, the Annihilation Soul Guild has already abandoned you. What’s the point of persisting?"

A person among the seven Illuminati members spoke, attempting to persuade him, "Hand over the thing now, and we can pretend nothing happened."

"Thing?"

Listening from a distance, Mu You had a thought.

The reason given in the post earlier in the day for the conflict was a green hat murder, but it seemed that was not the case. The so-called love triangle was probably just a smokescreen, and the actual reason was a conflict of interest.

"Ha, you killed my sister and caused such a fuss, and now you lightly say ’we can pretend it never happened’? Do you really think I’m that naive?" The black-clothed man laughed coldly.

He was severely injured, but at this moment, being surrounded by seven people alone, he didn’t seem particularly nervous.

"Gao Ziming, you’re an advanced player. Why be so stubborn? Hand over the thing and sign a confidentiality contract with us. I guarantee the Illuminati will not pursue this again!" The leading man said.

"Advanced player?" Mu You understood clearly. Advanced players, at least Level 10 or above, having taken an Evolution Elixir.

"The one in black, Level 12." Suddenly, Vivian in his arms relayed something to him.

"Oh? What about the others?" Mu You quickly asked.

"All the others are under Level 10, with the speaker just hitting Level 10 and the rest ranging from Level 7 to 9." Vivian said.

"I see."

Mu You understood. It turned out to be a group of ordinary players chasing an advanced player, no wonder they hadn’t taken him down for so long.

"Hehe."

The black-clothed man still chuckled coldly and suddenly said the teaser, "What if I gave this thing to the Anomaly Bureau, what would you say?"

Mu You noticed as soon as the black-clothed man spoke, the faces of the seven people across changed instantly.

So what they were chasing was something that couldn’t see the light of day?

"Gao Ziming, it seems you really won’t listen to advice! Since you choose to reject a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame us for not showing any mercy!’’ The leading man’s gaze turned sharp, he waved his hand at the crowd around him, "Go, take him down quickly!"

Following his order, seven people rushed up. Those who cast spells cast spells, those who raised a knife raised a knife, and in an instant, they blocked off all his retreat routes.

Just at that moment, the besieged Gao Ziming suddenly pulled out a scroll from his bosom, tore it open with a slightly lunatic chuckle, "Fine, let’s hurt each other then!"
