Chapter 48: Sudden Judgment: The Assassin's Sorrow

Sudden Judgment: The Assassin's Sorrow

Under the "somewhat rough" actions of the players, an extremely eerie scene appeared in the inn at night:

Several men with terrible expressions were chasing after a woman.

And this woman was constantly wandering in the inn's corridor, flashing into every room she passed, and then flashing out again with an irritated expression.

The duration before and after was not long, and there was no sound in the quiet room, but when someone entered again, they would discover: the traveler on the bed had disappeared.

Things in the room were turned over all over the floor, but not a single thing was taken away.

Such behavior didn't look like it was for money.

So the question comes:

So, what exactly did this female thief "steal"?

Answer: Cheng Shi's time.

After following Yun Ni through more than a dozen rooms, Cheng Shi was completely disappointed.

Didn't find a fart.

Except for the luggage brought by the travelers and a large amount of survival necessities, the biggest harvest was seeing several styles of novel QQ underwear in a lady's wardrobe...

Don't say, this lady's taste... forget it, let's talk about serious business.

The rooms checked just now clearly housed decent travelers, not the people they were looking for.

And there were too many travelers in the inn; searching like this, even if they waited until dawn, it would be impossible to finish the third floor.

Let alone the two floors under their feet.

If this continues, when dawn is about to break, Yun Ni will have to send the travelers sent to "other planes" back together.

At that time, panic might spread even more severely in the inn.

In the middle, Cheng Shi had reminded others more than once: "Do we still need to continue?"

The others' responses were very interesting:

Fang Jue furrowed his brows, Du Xiguang smiled, and the ascetic monk didn't speak.

Clearly, the big shots also wanted to gamble on their luck.

They were gambling that if they could encounter useful clues, this way, perhaps they could save some time.

Since the big shots didn't want to stop, Cheng Shi, as a slacker, naturally had no right to speak.

Continue, then.

However, life is like this; the more anxious you are, the worse things get done.

This unconventional method is ultimately hard to maintain.

At a certain moment before dawn, the assassin lady's actions were discovered.

To be precise, she exposed herself.

When Yun Ni sneaked into a certain room skillfully again, four men in black robes sitting neatly in the room opened their eyes and looked at her at the same time.

As soon as the four bright eyes opened, a power of 【Order】 began to surge!

That viscous texture was almost as if He had descended here before!

Yun Ni's complexion changed drastically, and she turned to run.

However, the moment she entered the room, the ending was already doomed.

Magnificent and majestic chanting sounded one after another, like a bell.

"In this place, fleeing is forbidden!"

"In this place, shouting is forbidden!"

"In this place, resisting is forbidden!"

"In this place, arguing is forbidden!"

Terrifying holy lights surged, instantly painting the entire room in golden brilliance.

Shackles composed of decrees, one after another, like living things, wrapped tightly around Yun Ni's hands and feet.

She was powerless to resist and couldn't call for help; she could only watch helplessly as she was imprisoned, and then pulled by chains, raised high into mid-air.

Like a state of being torn apart by five horses.

Various pressures and negative statuses from 【Order】 frantically ravaged her body until the judge wearing the judgment robe on the bed opened his eyes, and this terrifying "punishment" stopped for a moment.

But next, it was the beginning of a nightmare.

I saw that judge take out his judgment scepter from the void, a pair of eyes surging with purple thunder looked at Yun Ni, pointed lightly at the position where she was locked, and spoke slowly:

"You, do you plead guilty?"

Plead guilty?

Plead guilty to what?

Is sending travelers in their sleep on a free trip to a strange plane a crime?

Isn't this doing charity?

Of course, if it were Cheng Shi who was caught, perhaps he would have this thought.

And for Yun Ni, at this time, she was without joy or sorrow.

She realized the identity of this group of people; they were clearly people from the Grand Inquisition.

People from the Grand Inquisition had long since arrived!

They arrived at Yongzhan Town without a sound, disguised as ordinary travelers, and sneaked into the inn to investigate!

Yes, even the players could lock onto the murderer's location, so how could these judges who specialize in judgment have no means!

They had long since locked onto the approximate range of the suspect, and perhaps even had several suspects.

And herself, she was just a "silly roe deer" who broke into the trap while they were waiting for the prey!

What's even more terrifying is that she felt a divine fluctuation similar to 【Blooming only awaits withering】 on the scepter taken out by this judge!

Another semi-artifact!

This was the third semi-artifact encountered in one day.

What does this mean?

It means she might die!

Yun Ni had long thought that she might have an accident, but she had been thinking from beginning to end about how to deal with the eerie attack brought by 【When Fear Arrives】.

But she didn't expect that she did fall, but she fell into the hands of another semi-artifact of the Grand Inquisition.

The ending faced after much consideration was actually so absurd.

Simply ridiculous.

Yun Ni seemed to have given up on arguing, even though she also felt that she was innocent in the first place.

But when a judge only wants to judge you as guilty, refuting is not as good as silence.

At least it can preserve the last bit of dignity and not be a clown.

This judge's rhetoric clearly wanted her to die.

Yun Ni smiled fearlessly, then turned her head away.

However, the power of 【Order】 ultimately forced her to open her mouth.

An invisible pressure turned into a transparent hand, pinched her throat, and squeezed a response out of her throat.

"... Yes!"

Immediately following...

With a "boom," thunder fell!

The sinner...

Turned into ash paste!

From pleading guilty to annihilation, not even the time to blink an eye was wasted in between.

Although in Yongzhan Town, 【Blooming only awaits withering】 equally protects everyone.

However, there are always other gods' wills that can bring death.

Just like the judgment of 【Order】, it is irresistible!

The judge finished the execution, but didn't seem satisfied; he looked at the place where Yun Ni disappeared, his brows furrowed.

He did feel death, but based on his understanding of his own thunder punishment, the dead sinner should have turned into a charred corpse, not directly disintegrated and dissipated into nothingness.

This way of dying looks like the long-unseen...

A judge on the side also saw the abnormality; they furrowed their brows in doubt and asked:

"My lord, this is?"

The judge contemplated for a moment and said coldly:

"It's probably a special method from the underworld worshipping 【Annihilation】. No matter, the sinner has been executed."

The judge said the sinner is dead, then the sinner has no possibility of survival.

The four judges nodded at the same time, then closed their eyes one after another and returned to silence.

The judge put away his scepter, didn't close his eyes, but turned his cold gaze toward the door.

Outside the room door, Fang Jue was in a cold sweat, and Du Xiguang clenched his fists tightly.

The two were only one step away from following Yun Ni in, but fortunately, Yun Ni gave a warning to the outside at the first moment after entering the door, making them produce a moment of caution.

It was this moment of hesitation that saved their lives.

The two retreated with solemn expressions, retreating all the way to the stairs, and only after bumping into Cheng Shi and the ascetic monk in the shadows did they barely stop and wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Cheng Shi didn't see everything that happened inside and outside the room; seeing the two's solemn expressions, his heart sank.

"Where is Yun Ni?"

Fang Jue's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak.

Du Xiguang shook his head slowly, the meaning clear.

"Dead?"

Is Yongzhan Town really a town where one can die of old age normally?

Cheng Shi was extremely shocked; he stared wide-eyed at that room, as if recalling what kind of people lived there.

If he remembered correctly, before they went out, that room should have been empty.

That is to say, the people in this room moved in during that short period when the players went out to search for Wei Guan.

The two sides just happened to miss each other perfectly!

"What kind of people are inside?"

This time Fang Jue spoke.

"【Order】, I felt the fluctuation of 【Order】's power."

The Grand Inquisition!

Undoubtedly, it must be the Grand Inquisition!

They had actually already arrived!

He had just been thinking about it casually, never expecting it to actually come true.

Cheng Shi felt the joke from fate, his complexion extremely ugly.

A trial lasting 7 days, on the dawn of the second day, another person was lost.

Six, remaining four.

At the same time, the travelers sent to other planes by Yun Ni were "popped" back by the plane, fell on the bed and woke up, only feeling that they had had a terrifying nightmare.

However, they had no impression of the mastermind who created this nightmare.

Because the murderer has been executed. ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
