76 Chapter 76 - Compassion Surging Ou (1/2)

Gu Fei's rejection made Will-low display an aggrieved look on her face and purse her lips, ”Why not?”

Gu Fei sighed, ”I still haven't cleared off all my PK points! Besides, why should I blithely kill someone for no rhyme or reason?”

”What about that No Smile, then?”

”He's a villain...” Gu Fei suddenly thought that his answer sounded childish, as if he was coaxing a child.

”The person I want you to kill is a villain, too!” Will-low remarked.

”Oh? How villainous?”

”Just follow me!” Will-low urged.

Gu Fei gave it a thought and decided to follow Will-low.

Gu Fei was not familiar with Yueye City. Before long, he completely lost track of the streets and alleyways they had just walked. He saw Will-low halt her footsteps at a certain establishment and knock with a rhythm on its door.

The door opened not long after. A head peeked out from within and looked around in all direction. The person became very nervous when he spotted Gu Fei, ”Who's this guy?”

”Someone I recruited,” Will-low answered.

”Just one?” The person furrowed his brows.

”Let's get inside first!” Will-low pushed that person aside and dragged Gu Fei in.

The room was smaller than Amethyst Rebirth's guild house, and only five people including Will-low were on it. Gu Fei was at a loss as he stared at Will-low, waiting for an explanation.

”These guys here have offended a certain someone in this city. Now, they can't even properly enjoy the game. You can only meet these guys right now, since most are offline. Some even declared that they won't play Parallel World anymore,” Will-low explained solemnly.

”That bad, huh?” Gu Fei asked.

One of them sighed, ”I was killed every time I got spotted. Can't even join any guild or mercenary group now. How can I continue playing when people treat me like I have the plague and avoid me whenever I'm outside? I reached level 30 before, but now? I'm only at level 23! Can't even go outside and grind. Those few grinding maps are all we have here. If I want to do a quest I still have to accept one at a fixed location, so I can't avoid the hunt for me no matter what.”

”Move to another city, then! Stop staying in Yueye City,” Gu Fei reasoned.

”Another city...” one of them mumbled, ”Where is it?”

”Trek across the Oolong Mountain Range, and then you'll be in Yunduan City,” Gu Fei said.

The few people's pairs of eyes sparkled, as they stood up in unison, ”Let's get going now!”

Will-low interfered immediately, ”Hey! Did you guys forget that we still have to settle the score?”

”Settle what score?!” one of them asked impatiently, ”We should leave right away while we still can! We don't have anywhere to hide before, but now we have one. So we should leave this city at once!” One of the few players headed toward the door as he said that. Will-low went forward and tried to pull them back.

”Shut it!” one of them swung his arm and shoved Will-low away. They got out of the door and left, not even looking back once. Will-low stood numbly at one place, feeling extremely aggrieved that tears collected at the side of her eyes.

”Uhh… friends of yours?” Gu Fei asked.

”Maybe!” Will-low wiped the tears before they could fall with her hand.

”Just let them be! Don't feel too bad! Why don't you join them and head off to Yunduan City? It's much more harmonious over there compared to here,” Gu Fei tried to convince her.

”Why're you here in Yueye City, then?”

”I'm an exception,” Gu Fei felt embarrassed. Although he had already attracted quite a few troubles upon his arrival to Yueye City, he still had a more peaceful time here than in Yunduan City.

”I'm not leaving. I must settle this score,” Will-low said in a firm tone.

”Good luck to you, then!” Gu Fei acknowledged, thinking of leaving as well.

”Please, you've got to help me!” Will-low turned her two tearful eyes at Gu Fei as she pleaded, clutching one of his arms.

Gu Fei did not have the kind of soul-stirring resolve to swing his arm away like one of those guys just now. He could only sigh, saying, ”It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm only here to take refuge. There's a limit to what I can do, so how can I help you like this?”

”But you even managed to kill Silver Moon,” Will-low's face was full of expectation.

Gu Fei sighed again, ”Who is it that you're talking about, anyway?”

”Vast Lushness,” Will-low said, ”That fellow is vile. All we did was kill-steal monsters, and most were accidental, too. In the end, that vile fellow brought allies along to hunt us repeatedly. That person declared that if any guild or mercenary group dares to take us under their wings, they'll be annihilated along with us. So we were driven away by everyone like rats all over the city.”

”So tyrannical?!” Gu Fei felt bewildered. This was truly an eye-opener.

Will-low continued, ”Now, only Thieves like us can still come online and roam the city using Stealth. The others don't even dare to appear online anymore.”

”How dreadful,” Gu Fei's compassion surged out.
