To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games
Chapter 292: The Killer’s Focus
Within ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ mere minutes of “this devil cultivator is not so cold” being released,
countless Cultivators flooded into the Illusion Realm.
After watching the opening plot and receiving the first mission prompt, a commotion immediately erupted among the Righteous Path Cultivators.
“What the hell? They want us to play as Demonic Cultivators!?”
“Our actions must conform to Demonic Cultivator standards, otherwise points will be deducted?? Not acting like a Demonic Cultivator could even lead to failure???“
“Old Devil Lu... does he really want to be an old devil??”
“Heaven-Defying! Tomorrow, there might be an extra spot on the Demon Slaying Platform!!”
“Heh, so what if I don’t act like a Demonic Cultivator? Today, I’m going to do the opposite of whatever this Li Ang guy does!”
“Make me a Demonic Cultivator? I’d rather go and correct Righteous Path Cultivation Techniques!”
...At Lingxiao Sect, Siguo Valley.
Zhong Yi, who was in the Illusion Realm, was also startled by this bold setting.
“Playing as a Demonic Path member? Could it be...”
Zhong Yi suddenly thought of the Demonic Path youth whom the girl called Qing Ye, and waved his hand to close the mission prompt that had popped up in front of him.
At this moment, other guests arrived at the Tea house. The slightly fat man seemed to be the Tea house owner, and he immediately got up with a smiling face to greet the guests.
“Excuse me...”
As soon as Zhong Yi spoke, he wanted to ask the Tea house owner for more detailed information.
However, the Tea house owner acted as if he hadn’t heard him, didn’t even glance at him, and deliberately continued to greet the other guests.
At the same time, his behavior score in the upper right corner immediately dropped from 100 to 90 points.
【Behavior Score -5 (As an excellent The Way of the Devil Slaughter killer, Li Ang would never show any trace of knowing his employer in front of others)】
【Behavior Score -5 (Li Ang dislikes socializing and is always taciturn, only then can he maintain absolute focus)】
Zhong Yi’s eyes widened slightly, and he quickly chose to shut up.
“Behavior score? Interesting...”
Zhong Yi muttered to himself, marveling at how Lu Ze’s Illusion Realm always brought him a fresh experience.
He closed his eyes and entered the character System interface, which was standard for Lu Ze’s Illusion Realm.
Various interfaces appeared: 【Character Info】, 【Missions】, 【Equipment】, 【Skills】, 【Map】, 【Inventory】...
Zhong Yi curiously clicked on the 【Character Info】 section, which contained various character details for the protagonist, Li Ang, presented through text and memory fragments.
From the moment he gained memories, Li Ang had been a Demonic Cultivator.
He was forced to learn Demonic Techniques by a group of bloodthirsty and evil Demonic Cultivators.
According to his investigation, he was forced into becoming a member of the Demonic Path as an infant, a test subject for some Demonic Path project.
In the secret base of the Demonic Path, he constantly engaged in Gu cultivation and combat with other young boys and girls who were also test subjects for the project.
Li Ang grew tired of this life and utterly hated his identity as a “Demonic Cultivator.”
Finally, one day.
He found an opportunity, fought his way out, and escaped from the base... traveling all the way to a remote town on another continent.
He made a living by taking on assassination missions.
Li Ang had a principle: he would choose his assassination targets.
He only killed the guilty.
And he didn't kill women or children... After opening several memory fragments, Zhong Yi gained a certain understanding of the character named “Li Ang.”
He found it hard not to associate Li Ang with the Demonic Path youth he had captured.
“Junior Brother Lu, does he want to use the Illusion Realm to change everyone’s perception of him?”
Zhong Yi’s breathing suddenly deepened.
Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering to himself.
“Junior Brother Lu, oh Junior Brother Lu... this is not such an easy task...”
Despite saying that, Zhong Yi was very much looking forward to Lu Ze being able to accomplish something he himself wished to do but was powerless to achieve.
With a preliminary understanding of Li Ang, Zhong Yi was no longer so resistant to the character’s identity.
“He likes to drink goat’s milk, enjoys going to the Tea house to listen to opera, is taciturn, and always wears a pair of sunglasses... Heh, quite interesting.”
Zhong Yi closed the 【Character Info】 interface, clicking his tongue in admiration.
The character of Li Ang, against the backdrop of this information, seemed to come alive, possessing an indescribable charm.
Just then, a System message appeared again.
【Inject Spiritual Qi into your eyes to enter the ‘Killer’s Focus’ state and obtain more information.】
Seeing this, Zhong Yi quickly looked at the Tea house owner again.
As he slightly infused Spiritual Qi, he noticed that the Tea house owner and the guest in front of him had special symbols appearing above their heads.
【Li Yougan (Tea house owner): An old friend who helped you when you were down and out. All your usual assassination missions are handed over through him. He’s a fairly trustworthy guy.】
【Sun Yu (Guest): A regular customer of the Tea house. There are scratches on his face, seemingly from his wife. He’s here to drown his sorrows in alcohol.】
...“My goodness! Amazing!”
Zhong Yi exclaimed in utter astonishment.
Lu Ze’s Illusion Realm had once again, and yet again, brought him an unprecedented way of experiencing things.
Li Ang was a killer with remarkably keen insight.
The 【Killer’s Focus】 state would provide players with information that Li Ang could inherently deduce, greatly enhancing the players’ immersion.
Moreover, for some interconnected characters, players could also view Li Ang’s specific memories of the target in this state.
As a result, Zhong Yi’s sense of immersion in the entire Illusion Realm world was further enhanced.
Zhong Yi walked out of the Tea house, curiously observing the outside.
It was a moderately prosperous small town.
The streets were bustling with people, and shouts filled the air.
While curiously activating 【Killer’s Focus】 to analyze the information of various characters, Zhong Yi followed the mission’s guidance towards his destination.
The location of the assassination target, Zhang San, was a luxurious mountain villa.
It was guarded by strict soldiers on the outside, and even had a defensive barrier set up nearby, indicating it would be quite challenging.
Zhong Yi took out the portrait given by the Tea house owner and committed Zhang San’s image to memory.
As he stepped into the mission objective area, a more detailed mission prompt appeared before him.
【Mission: Assassinate Zhang San】
【The assassination target is a local tyrant from the neighboring county who engages in illegal activities. Women and children are often sold by him to the Demonic Path. Now, the target is no longer satisfied with the profits within his territory and has begun to extend his reach here, causing dissatisfaction among the employer...】
【Mission Requirement 1: Confirm the assassination target’s death】
【Mission Requirement 2: Make as little commotion as possible, otherwise you may be surrounded by reinforcements】
【Hidden Mission Requirement: Find a hidden clue within the mountain villa (Black Snake Gang’s ledger)】
