Chapter 123: Capture

There were indeed nosy players who, instead of eating at noon, found ways to ask for leave to go home and take a look.

Most of them only had half an hour or so of playtime left, and there weren't many of them—only five.

At this time, the two sisters, Rita and Ruili, had already bypassed the pursuit of Agou and the other two, returning from the "warehouse" where timber was piled up to the vicinity of the kiln.

The kiln was still emitting smoke, and it was unknown what was being burned inside to last for such a long time; the two sisters dared not look too much and walked quickly forward, only to be caught red-handed by five players who had just woken up as they passed the players' dormitory.

"Stop! What is your identity!"

"I saw you!"

Several players spoke in not-very-proficient Tana Language; although the players who came to play had all learned some of it to varying degrees, not everyone was that proficient.

Rita blocked Ruili behind her and then attempted to use her ability.

Channelers can communicate with the spirits of all things, and naturally, they can also let the spirits of all things help.

The air suddenly became turbid, the players' movements slowed down, some black birds in the air let out mournful cries, and the ground seemed to be shaking.

The five players were all new players; where had they ever seen such a formation? They hadn't even experienced a witch battle, and watching a crack appear in the ground, a person wrapped in bandages ran out from inside.

"A zombie?"

"No way, this game has zombies?"

"Whatever it is, let's take it down first!"

One player grabbed a piece of wood and went up to strike at the zombie-like thing; eerily, the wood made a *bang* sound, and the player's hand bent strangely in the opposite direction of the elbow.

This player's arm was dislocated.

But he couldn't feel how painful it was; after discovering that the wood was useless, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

All of the zombie's gaze was focused on this player, sticky liquid dripped from the zombie's body, and the zombie, opening its bloody maw, crawled out from the crack and began to chase this player.

"I'll kite it, you guys catch them!" this player shouted loudly, then took long strides and started running.

Rita gritted her teeth nervously; her strength was insufficient, and she only had this one black corpse, as the previous black corpses had already been used up.

Lita was even worse than her, not even having a black corpse; besides having a talent for Channeling, she had no talent in other aspects, and the several black corpses she raised were all failures, otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have had to run to Tana City to hide.

Seeing the black corpse being taunted away, the other four players started chasing the two young girls; Rita saw that the situation was not right and quickly turned around, but after only a few steps, she saw Agou, Youjun, and Luoli chasing over.

Rita, being surrounded, pushed Lita away to a distance, "You run quickly, I'll deal with them."

"No, I can't leave you alone; the spirits here say they aren't bad people... at least they haven't killed anyone."

"Are they even still human? They don't even have spirits!"

Rita said emotionally: "They don't even know what pain is; do you still think they are human?"

While they were talking, several players also tried their best to restrain themselves as they surrounded the two girls, but no one knew how to make a move.

Although they were in a game, this game was too realistic, and they felt embarrassed to bully two girls no matter what.

"You, what, come?" Agou said in not-at-all fluent Tana Language, "You, come, why?"

"We, we... we wanted to go to Tana City, we just got lost." Lita discovered that these guys could actually communicate, and her courage grew much larger.

Rita thought about it; since they could talk, perhaps it was really an opportunity, "We just got lost, I..."

"Ahhhhh, save me, save me, save me!" The guy who lured the zombie away finally couldn't run anymore, was directly pinned down by the zombie, and after one bite, he was howling and screaming.

The players didn't feel pain; the only one who felt pain was Chen Zhi.

However, this kind of pain was actually fine for a god.

Seeing this scene, who would still think these were just two lost young girls?

Rita's face turned dark; she knew that before the zombie ate these people, she and her sister might die first.

So she had no choice but to recall the zombie; the crack on the ground opened again, and the zombie fell directly into the crack.

"Aren't you going to save him?" Rita said nervously.

"He's already beyond saving," Youjun said indifferently, as if the one who died wasn't his companion.

These guys were indeed not human; they didn't have a shred of humanity.

But Rita didn't dare to act rashly either, and could only let these people take her to a place similar to a cafeteria.

At this time, a female player walked over and said in relatively fluent language: "Where do you come from, what kind of Awakened are you, and which god do you believe in?"

This made Rita not know what to say; someone had actually seen her summon a zombie and still didn't know what kind of Awakened she was.

"We come from Gannaer and are Believers of the God of Death; we are all Channelers," Lita said honestly, "We came here to seek refuge; a coup occurred in Gannaer, and we had to run away."

More players came online one after another and arrived at the cafeteria; after all, these two NPCs had just used a skill, and even made an unlucky player go offline to brag.

So other players also wanted to come up and see these two NPCs; of course, everyone was also doing it to take turns guarding them.

"Gannaer is an independent kingdom northeast of Tana City; it is a feudal monarchy and is in a neutral region. The mainstream religion is the God of Death, but it is divided into several sects," the player who went offline said with his eyes open, "The latest information that can be found is that a civil strife broke out in Gannaer last month, and after that, their current government wants to cooperate with the Federal to jointly develop a mausoleum from 1,000 years ago."

The two sisters couldn't understand, but seeing more and more people in the room, and the people who had captured them earlier suddenly fainting, made them feel especially terrified.

"What sect are you from? How many sects are there internally?" the female player continued to ask.

"We have a total of six sects, and we are from the Listening Sect," Rita also told the truth, "Our sect mainly listens to the guidance of spirits, but there are several other sects inside that are not like that. The largest sect now is the Summoning Sect. The ability I just used is a skill of a Channeler, and what is summoned is called a black corpse."

She didn't care whether these people could understand her words and continued on her own: "Besides this, there are the Spirit Controlling Sect, the Excavation Sect, the Legend Sect, the Burial Spirit Sect..."

"I thought a few churches were chaotic enough; this one religion has so many sects, and they even fight each other," several players whispered to each other.
