Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 202 – Better to Kill the Wrong than Let Go

After ending the call with the military big shot, Zi Liyuan’s gaze turned directly to the workers from the Iron Fist Gym who were being pushed forward.

“You must have heard the conversation just now, so it’s your turn to point them out, as to who is a member of the Heretical Sect, you surely must have an idea.

If you don’t want to get implicated, then point them out to avoid suffering from physical punishment.”

In front of these people, he had deliberately let slip the content of that call, calming down everyone who was originally making a ruckus.

Especially given Lord Zi’s tone just now, along with the military big shot’s attitude, they were bent on killing the members of the Heretical Sect.

No one dared to be thorny at this time, especially those who were boasting about various connections and threatening Zi Liyuan just before.

Now, each of them wished they could bury their heads into the ground like ostriches, ensuring that the god of death on the stage didn’t spot them and give them trouble.

Or perhaps avoid getting noticed by this guy on stage altogether, fearing his pettiness, worried that he would take note of each of them and after dealing with the Heretical Sect, report their families for colluding with the sect on trumped-up charges, making a huge spectacle of it.

Even if their families wouldn’t collapse, they would certainly suffer severe losses, and when that time comes, what good would come to them, the instigators?

Wouldn’t they be skinned alive when they got back home?

The workers who were brought forward were now exchanging glances, some of whom had harbored other thoughts just a moment ago had now become very obedient.

This is a ruthless person!

Speaking carelessly could truly lead to someone’s death!

The workers who were pushed over here were those who didn’t resist Zi Liyuan’s summons.

Any resistor had already been brutally killed by a host of Epic Bosses.

Truly beaten to death, even pleas for mercy met with their heads being twisted off, showing not a hint of mercy.

Thus, due to such brutal methods, many of the workers that were brought over didn’t dare to resist and even blurred the waters by pretending to be passive, hoping to slip through and avoid disaster.

In this moment, the venue fell into silence, lasting a full minute, and aside from hearing others’ breathing, no one spoke.

Naturally, Zi Liyuan was dissatisfied, so he frowned, with the killing intent slowly spreading across his face.

“No one will point them out? As workers of the Iron Fist Gym, if you pay attention to the details, you should be able to notice if something’s off, right?

Or are you saying that all of you are actually members of the Heretical Sect, just peripheral ones?

If that’s the case, then I’ll give you ten seconds. If no one comes forward after that, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

This time, I’ve come with the mindset of ‘better to kill wrongly than to miss anyone.’

Ten, nine… three, two…”

Zi Liyuan manipulated the Demon Spider to advance, a pair of long, huge, and sharp arm-blades were raised high, ready to hack the nearest person, as if prepared to kill them.

The threat was given in full, as was the psychological pressure, especially when seeing a terrifying and formidable Epic Boss raising its blade, bringing the threat of death to reality.

Then…

“I’ll point them out, I’ll point them out! That’s our group leader; he once tried to recruit me, enticing me to join some organization, promising benefits for completing tasks.”

Standing in front of the Demon Spider, feeling the monstrous pressure from the creature, especially from the two raised arm-blades.

The worker trembled, and a wet patch spread from inside his trousers.

Feeling the Demon Spider’s intense killing urge, the terrified worker, under the threat of death, pointed at a middle-aged man hidden in the crowd, as if briefly overcoming his fear of dying.

“Whoosh!”

Two blades flashed with the speed of lightning, severing the arms of the middle-aged man in an instant.

“Ahh…”

A scream pierced the air as the middle-aged man, recently pointed out, suddenly felt a sharp pain; in an instant, he lost control of his arms, collapsing to the ground, howling in agony.

One of the Demon Spider’s legs pierced the man’s thigh, then forcefully dragged him out of the crowd.

Another two swift strikes severed his legs at the root.

This ferocious and brutal scene filled the group of workers with immense fear; they screamed, huddling and trembling on the floor while also trying to distance themselves from their nearby peers, as if afraid of being implicated by the identified Heretical Sect member.

“Good, is there anyone else?”

Zi Liyuan remained expressionless, as the world had changed since the invasion of the game.

Despite still being a society governed by law, before the increasingly powerful imperial institutions, even the great clans had to bow their proud heads.

Lord Zi’s violent enforcement could affect many people’s interests, but at this moment, not a single great clan dared to step forward to accuse or demand the release of anyone.

Even if he killed innocents, no one was daring to step forward at this time.

Regarding the aftermath, if there were truly innocent people involved, the military and the City Guard would surely clear it up and provide compensation as needed.

As for those innocently killed, they could only be considered unlucky, and if their friends and relatives sought revenge, they could obtain Zi Liyuan’s name and some basic information.

Even if the military and official channels wouldn’t disclose it, there would always be individuals who would leak it; it was inevitable.
