Chapter 134: The Anomaly of Laughing Coffin

When Lingqi brought Baiyin back to Lingyun's garden, Baiyin became the most popular character among all the girls, which made Lingyun sigh to himself that cute things are the most popular with girls no matter where they are!

For a period of time afterward, Luo Yexi even made the decision to have everyone equipped with a cute familiar, but unfortunately, because familiars in the game were extremely rare, and not all familiars were necessarily cute, this plan was eventually shelved. In the end, Lingyun still only had two familiars by his side: one was Silica's Pina, and the other was Lingqi's Baiyin.

Time passed in a flash, and a horrifying murder incident occurred within the circle in this world, which made all the players feel panicked and uneasy. Unfortunately, this incident did not last long before it was resolved by Kirito and Asuna, once again proving to others the fact that the Safe Zone is absolutely safe.

After experiencing this incident, Kirito and Asuna became very famous among the players and were collectively called the "Black and White Sword Envoy" by other players.

Inside Sachi's small shop, Lingyun looked with amusement at Kirito, who was lying on the table in front of him looking completely burnt out: "How is it, Kirito, Black and White Sword Envoy, this title is really quite good, isn't it!"

"What's so good about it!" Kirito looked at Lingyun, somewhat breaking down. "When I went out on the street today, I was almost surrounded and watched! You know as well as I do that the thing I'm worst at is dealing with this kind of situation! I really don't know how you guys handle it when you face this kind of situation; your God Squad's title is much louder than our Black and White Sword Envoy!"

"Is there a need to be like this? Just imagine everyone surrounding you as cabbages and radishes and it'll be fine!" Lingyun reached out and patted Kirito on the shoulder. "Besides, you'll naturally become calm once you've experienced this kind of thing more often!"

"What do you mean by 'naturally become calm once you've experienced it more often'! Do you think everyone is like you!" Kirito swatted away Lingyun's hand from her shoulder. "Tell me, what do you want with me at this time?"

"Can't I look for you if I don't have anything to do?" Lingyun shrugged helplessly. "It seems I'm hated by Kirito!"

"No, that's not it!" Seeing Lingyun's expression, Kirito waved her hands in a flustered manner. "I, how could I possibly hate you, Lingyun!"

But when she saw Lingyun's half-smiling gaze, how could she not understand that she had been played by Lingyun again. Thinking carefully about what she had just said, it sounded a bit wrong no matter how she thought about it; her face turned red all of a sudden, and she stepped directly onto Lingyun's instep.

"Ouch ouch ouch! Kirito, you're too ruthless!" Lingyun jumped up from his seat.

Seeing Lingyun's reaction, Kirito's heart softened; was she really too ruthless with her kick? Just as she was about to get up to check on Lingyun's injury, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the trace of amusement deep in Lingyun's eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want with me? If there wasn't anything, you wouldn't be looking for me at this time!" Kirito tapped her fingers on the tabletop.

Seeing that Kirito had seen through his acting, Lingyun sat back down in his chair, and his expression also became serious.

"I heard that you had a standoff with the leader of Laughing Coffin before. Did you have any special feelings when facing those people?"

"Laughing Coffin?" Hearing Lingyun mention this Red Player Guild, Kirito's expression also turned serious. "The people in that guild are a bit strange. That guild, especially the few people leading it, gives me a very dangerous feeling. Although we didn't fight, I could feel that their strength is definitely very strong, stronger than the vast majority of Clearers. If we had fought at that time, I could only guarantee that I would escape unscathed; I had no confidence in defeating them!"

"Besides that, were there any other feelings?" Lingyun asked again.

"Feelings? Yes, they give me the feeling that they are absolutely my enemies, as if I am naturally opposed to them." Kirito said with a frown. "At that time, I could even feel my long sword vibrating constantly, as if it wanted to fight them to the death!"

"Is that so? It seems the thing I was most worried about has happened after all!" Lingyun's expression was somewhat heavy.

"What is the thing you were most worried about?" Kirito asked with some curiosity.

"Kirito, you should know by now that there are some ominous things lurking in this world. And now, this kind of thing has already reached out to the players..."

A flash of shock crossed Kirito's eyes. Regarding the power of the Underworld King of the End that Lingyun spoke of, she had also heard of such things when she obtained the power she currently possessed. At the time, she thought she was the only one who knew of the existence of such things, but after spending some time with Lingyun, she realized that perhaps Lingyun and his group knew about these things earlier than she did and understood them much more deeply!

"By the way, Kirito, if the Clearers have a plan to eliminate the Red Player Guild, you must notify me!" Lingyun said earnestly.

"Mm." Kirito nodded forcefully. After understanding the tip of the iceberg regarding the power of the Underworld King of the End, she naturally understood just how powerful and terrifying this power was. If the Clearers really decided to attack the Red Player Guild, calling on Lingyun and his group would be the safest course of action.

In a dark room, a group of people were gathering.

This group of people were all wearing black cloaks used to conceal their figures and wearing masks; the eerie aura seeping from them made one feel trembling and uneasy. What was most terrifying was that the icons above the heads of the people here were all red, and, in this red, a trace of grayish-white had seeped in! In other words, the people here were all Red Players! On the gloves of these players, there was a mark that was the same for all of them: a twisted smiling face carved onto a black coffin, which represented that the players here were all members of Laughing Coffin!

"Boss, why didn't you let us make a move on that Clearer player during the last commission? Even though she is a member of the Clearers and a person with the title of Black Swordsman, with the strength of the three of us joining forces, we could definitely have killed her right there. Being able to kill a Clearer player, what a pleasant thing that would be!" One of the players said to their guild leader, POH, with some dissatisfaction.

"No, no, no, you are all too careless. This Black Swordsman is definitely not as simple as you imagine. At that time, my knife told me that even if the three of us went together, we wouldn't be able to kill that guy!" POH held his kitchen knife and waved his hand.

"What, that woman is that strong?" Another person couldn't help but change color.

"Not only that! Flash, who arrived right behind her, is also no less powerful than the Black Swordsman. If the two of them joined forces, it would be greatly disadvantageous for us, who only had three people at the time!" POH threw out another bombshell.

"Are you kidding me? That is absolutely impossible!" One of the Red Players stood up abruptly. "We possess such powerful strength because we have the blessing of the Lord God. What right do they have to possess such strength?"

"The Lord God has never said that he is the only god in this world!" A mysterious smile appeared on POH's face. "Besides, how is it satisfying to just kill one Clearer player? I am longing to offer more sacrifices to the Lord God!"

"What, Boss, are you going to do something big?" One of them asked excitedly. "Just thinking about it makes me feel how pleasant it is!"

"Of course I'm going to do something big. I want to wipe out the Clearers and let these flowers grown in a greenhouse understand who the strongest player is! It's just that the timing isn't right yet; we still need to wait patiently! I have a premonition that that day will not be too far off!" POH gripped the kitchen knife in his hand, a flash of grayish-white light crossed his eyes, and a ferocious smile curled the corners of his mouth.
