Chapter 429 The Benefits of Fishing in Troubled Waters
Inside the healing tent, darkness gradually faded.
But everyone in the tent was surprised to find that the brightness of the entire healing area was still at a low level.
The reason is also very simple.
"The fire... is out!"
Fern was the first to notice the biggest change in the entire tent.
Next to Fen, Lin Yu also spoke in surprise.
"Really? What's going on?!"
"I just heard gunshots," Fern said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, someone... a player took advantage of the darkness and attacked the monster."
"Moreover, it is very likely that he has been killed."
Fern stood up and, without bothering to continue pretending to be a seriously injured patient, walked straight to the center.
“We have to go check it out!”
Not only Fern, but everyone else who could move in the tent also hurried to the extinguished fire.
The darkness that Lin Yu created just now did not block out too much sound. Although water droplets and mist could also hinder the transmission of sound, the "Social Phobia Paradise" was currently more effective in limiting vision.
So, everyone in the tent could hear the scream of the fire and the loud noise that stopped the scream abruptly.
All the players could hear that the loud noise represented...
Gunshots!
In the darkness, no one dared to act rashly - at least no one dared to take the initiative to go to the fire where some abnormality had obviously occurred and cause trouble.
But now that his vision has been restored, he sees that everything over there has settled down: the fire has gone out, and there is no trace of the "murderer" nearby.
Only Stiller still stood not far away, looking stunned - but also unharmed.
Judging from Stiller's behavior, it should be safe near the fire.
Naturally, everyone wanted to go and see what happened first!
Although the two barbarians didn't know what the sound was, they were aware that the fire had gone out and the players were gathering around.
They can also sense when "something big" is happening...even better than the players themselves.
As the two barbarians reached the furnace, they pushed the players aside and saw that the furnace was completely extinguished, as well as the red crystals scattered at the bottom of the furnace. Their faces changed drastically.
"This is bad. The notary in the healing center is dead?!"
"Will the healing center still exist... Can this Glory Festival continue?"
The panicked voices of the two barbarians also reached the ears of the players.
Among the players who had already rushed back to Stiller's side, the middle-aged man spoke in surprise.
"What? Why can't the Glory Festival go on?!"
If the Glory Festival cannot proceed normally, how can they obtain the Warrior Certificate and complete the game to return to reality?
The barbarians looked at them in astonishment. "Don't you even know this? Didn't anyone tell you about this when you came to participate in the Glory Festival?"
The players looked at each other in confusion.
of course not!
The Black Swamp Realm is a world that is even more makeshift than the ordinary world, because most of the intelligent life forms are very violent and barbaric, resulting in a low cultural level in this world and very unformed rules and regulations of various organizations.
Many things are simply passed down through word of mouth and empiricism among tribes.
As outsiders, these players naturally have no way of knowing.
Just like what the two barbarians are saying now.
"There are three notaries for each Glory Festival: one at the healing area, one patrolling the venue, and one monitoring and on standby outside."
"These three are responsible for monitoring the entire Glory Festival to see if there are any violations. If any violations are found, they will be disqualified from participating. Now that the notary in the healing department is dead, someone must have violated the rules!"
"And since the Glory Festival began, there has never been a case of a Notary dying!"
"And...it's not even the first day!"
"We will definitely all be investigated!"
The two barbarians were talking to each other.
The players also understood.
On Stiller's side, the "bounty hunter" who joined later finally couldn't help it and spoke indignantly.
"Who the hell did this?! How could they do such a thing!"
"Who is so stupid as to make it so that no one can pass?"
His words, which indiscriminately doubted everyone else, naturally caused widespread dissatisfaction.
"Don't open your mouth, how do you know it must be us who did it!"
The male player with less hair in the pair of two men and one woman said angrily.
"Idiot, do you think these Blood Luo, Barbarians and other natives have guns?!"
The bounty hunter choked indignantly.
The shorter and fatter male player in the group of two men and one woman immediately spoke up, "That wasn't necessarily the sound of gunfire... After all, if it was a player, there's no reason for them to do that!"
"If he does that, he won't be able to pass the level either."
Fern listened to the discussion and interrupted, "What if he didn't know the consequences would be so serious before he did it?"
"How many of you just listened to the two barbarians' accounts and realized the possibility that killing this hearth might result in no one being able to obtain a warrior's certificate?"
Fern asked back, leaving everyone present speechless.
And another lone ranger player in Stiller's team who had been silent all this time also added a sentence naturally.
"Besides, even if they knew the purpose, some people might still do it."
As he said this, Fern immediately looked at him.
"what do you mean……"
"Creating desperate situations and increasing the difficulty—isn't that something someone from the Psychology Society would do?"
The guy who had been silent all this time said calmly.
As soon as the words "Psychological Society" came out, all the players felt it was absurd and reasonable at the same time.
Those who appear in this [copy] are definitely not novice players. Everyone has heard of the great reputation of the "Psychological Society"!
Not only have they heard of them, but some have even dealt with their members.
And if all this was done by the madman from the "Psychological Society", it does make sense!
"Are there any members of the Psychology Society among us?"
Someone murmured in disbelief.
Fern exhaled.
"It's very likely... But no matter what, we have to find the murderer as soon as possible."
"Yes, time is running out," Lin Yu reminded calmly from the side. "The extinguishing of this fire will definitely attract the attention of the organizers of the Glory Festival... Don't forget, there is another 'Notary' within this venue alone."
Although he appeared to be calm while reminding other players, Lin Yu was actually almost laughing out loud in his heart.
Muddying the water does have its benefits.
