Chapter 44 (2/2)

If Liu Ming had not discovered that it was an illusion long ago, he would have thought that he had accidentally wandered into the venue of some sort of gathering.

After roughly estimating the number of people in the hall, Liu Ming instantly switched his weapon and charged into the crowd.

After a few rounds of fighting, Liu Ming had already gained some experience in finding the monsters hidden inside the illusion.

As Liu Ming rushed into the crowd and slashed the people with his sword, the people around him began yelling and shrieking in horror.

“Guards! Guards! A thug has broken in!”

“He killed people! He killed people!”

“Who are you? How dare you barge into the City Hall and commit murder!?!”

…

The group of people shouted for guards, panicked, and questioned Liu Ming austerely. Some even whipped out their personal weapons and crowded around Liu Ming. They reacted like how people would when they encountered thugs that suddenly barged in.

Even at this moment, Liu Ming could hear the sound of footsteps gradually getting louder behind him. Guards really were coming over!

After hearing the footsteps, ordinary players would definitely turn around and deal with the guards rushing over.

After all, the average player wouldn’t be able to ignore them directly and continue searching for the Boss-level monster hidden among the crowd even though they knew that the guards were just illusions and that it was impossible to exterminate them.

However, Liu Ming was different. After observing the people’s expressions, Liu Ming soon found a few targets and charged towards one of them.

The reason was none other than the fact that, although these illusory people’s expressions and movements were vivid and similar to that of real people, one would actually be able to tell that their expressions and movements were rather unsynchronized upon careful inspection. In contrast, a certain monster behaved exactly the same as real people.

It was the same for the Illusory Evil Spirit Liu Ming had killed previously. Illusory monsters that could generate illusions were extremely intelligent and basically indistinguishable from the players. However, the corpses created by the monsters and the humans generated by the illusions would reveal some flaws in their movements.

After all, the humans transformed from corpses and phantoms were actually puppets manipulated by the monsters.

No matter how impressive the monsters’ intelligence might be, it would be difficult for them to maintain their intelligence after siphoning out a certain portion of it. Hence, the corpses and phantoms definitely would not have the same level of intelligence.

Hence, Liu Ming managed to verify the authenticity of most people in front of him. Thus, narrowing down the possible targets to a few people.

Liu Ming did not have the time to confirm which of the remaining few were the real monsters. However, Liu Ming had always been lucky after entering God Domain; today was no exception.

Just as Liu Ming slashed his first target with a sword—a middle-aged man dressed like a gentleman—and dealt him massive damage, the illusion immediately changed again.

The people who were initially crying or angrily cursing disappeared. Liu Ming was left alone with the person he slashed.

However, at this moment, the middle-aged gentleman had already turned into a tall and large demon—which had pitch-black goat horns and a hideous appearance.
