Chapter 527: Turning Point, the First Elder Appears
【Name: Xue Lin】
[Identity: Registered member of Zero Point Pub, General Manager of Sugar Water Company]
[Because of selling the addictive drug "sugar water", he attracted the attention of the masked weirdo, and was eventually killed by the masked weirdo in the Coral City branch of the Zero Point Tavern]
Xue Lin's life experience is very simple and can be found out with a simple search.
After finding out, people were even more confused.
“He’s actually a dealer of addictive drugs?”
"People like this deserve to die!"
"Just because of this guy, the Zero Point Tavern kicked out the masked weirdo and even wanted to kill him?"
"Are all those high-ranking people at the Zero Point Tavern mentally ill?"
“…”
Many people think that the top management of Zero Point Tavern really has some problems with their brains, and the problems are serious.
They knew the rule that no killing was allowed inside the tavern.
but……
Rules are dead, people are alive!
Just for a dead rule and a dead thing, the Zero Point Tavern is going to fight with a powerful creature like the Masked Stranger until now?
"Rules are made by people, and people are the foundation! The Zero Point Tavern has put the cart before the horse!"
After learning the whole story, many people were deeply moved.
Are those so-called rules really that important?
"Perhaps they didn't expect at first that the masked man would be so strong."
"Now, they are probably in a difficult situation."
"The fighting has ended with a bloodbath and two of the elders have died. It's too late to negotiate. Should we let the Zero Tavern back down and bow to the masked weirdo?"
Yes, at this point, it is no longer a rigid rule or a question for Xue Lin.
The Midnight Tavern cannot retreat, and the Masked Stranger will not give in, so both sides can only fight madly until one side is completely defeated.
When people think of this, they can't help but marvel at the masked man's power.
He is just one person, but he has been able to fight with such a huge organization until now.
During the bloody month that passed, he fought countless battles almost every day, but each time he ended in complete victory, like a machine that could never be hurt or tired.
Even if it is a mechanical creature, after such a long fight, the various modules in its body would have problems.
"Could he really be a creature that crawled out of hell?"
"If I sign a contract with the god of death, I can have great power and immortality?"
At this moment, many people thought of those strange rumors again.
Is the masked man really the representative of the god of death on earth?
In the past, many people did not believe it. After all, it sounded too weird. But now they have no choice but to believe it. The power of the masked man has exceeded their cognition.
"Just keep watching and see what happens next."
"The mechanical race is the most important, they haven't moved yet..."
At this time, the attitude of the mechanical race is still very subtle.
Not only did they not increase patrols, but they withdrew the teams that were searching for the masked man in various locations. The intensity of the search continued to decline, almost returning to the level before the wanted order was issued.
The mechanical clan did this as if they were deliberately telling the masked monster - hit him however you want!
Without the threat of the mechanical race, the masked monster has a lot of room to play.
Half a month passed quickly.
In the past half month, the number of deaths has increased significantly compared to last month.
As for the Midnight Tavern, more than 70% of the members have applied to leave. Even among those who have not applied, more than half are hiding outside and dare not return to the local branches.
There is no way. During this period, all the branches of Zero Point Bar in various cities in the southwest of the mainland were almost wiped out.
The tavern in Swordfish City is the most unlucky.
The tavern branch in this city was the first to be destroyed by Su Xia. Later, a more secret location was chosen to open a branch, and it was thought that it would not be discovered. However, it was visited by Su Xia again a few days ago.
No one from the branch survived; all were killed.
"The Masked Man is really ruthless. He doesn't allow any branch of the Zero Point Tavern to exist. Even some branches in the north have been eliminated. He wants to destroy the entire tavern from the root."
"That's not the case. The branches in Coral City, Fish Scale City, and Seahorse City are still there."
"It is said that the store managers of these city branches know the masked man."
"No wonder..."
In the entire southwest region, only branches in these few cities remain.
People can't help but notice.
A large number of tavern branch members hiding outside also noticed the clues and ran to those cities to hide. Some even directly joined the tavern branches in those cities.
Especially in Coral City, quite a lot of people have joined the tavern recently.
They all knew that Coral City store manager Yi Yi and the masked man were very good friends.
"No matter how bloodthirsty and ruthless that masked man is, he can't possibly target a branch in this city."
Time passed slowly, and amid increasingly heated discussions and attention, the second bloody month came to the end of the month.
In the next half month, the masked man was mainly active in the northwest region of the continent.
Branches in more than twenty cities in the Northwest have been wiped out.
The Zero Point Tavern suffered heavy casualties, its reputation continued to decline, and the countless industries it controlled began to collapse, almost becoming a joke.
"Because of a rigid rule and a small person, such a large organization has been reduced to its current state. Tsk tsk... I wonder what the higher-ups at the Zero O'clock Tavern are thinking now ?" The captain of the Fiery Suicide Squad is online every day, taunting the people at the Zero O'clock Tavern intensively.
"I think someone must have regretted it." The leader of the legendary investigation team appeared and sang the same tune with him, just like two crosstalk performers.
"But it's too late to regret."
"Speaking of which, the masked man is really a monster. He traveled to more than 20 cities in half a month and fought dozens of battles. Doesn't he need to rest?"
“…”
People are almost numb to the shock of the masked man's power.
But just when they were about to become completely numb, even more shocking news came out, like a sledgehammer hitting their nerves.
Another veteran died!
This time, the masked man stepped into the trap set by the three elders.
The trap was so terrifying that even the three elders themselves were not sure they could get out alive. They even took into account Su Xia's three chances of walking into another space.
But the result was far beyond their expectations.
Not only did Su Xia fight his way out, he also blew up an elder on the spot, and the other two elders also escaped with serious injuries.
When this news came out, the entire continent was shocked!
Three against one, but they were killed in return?
Are all these veterans of the Zero Point Tavern made of paper? Why are they so weak?
"Tell me this isn't true, I feel like I'm going crazy."
In the various branches of the Midnight Tavern, the remaining members all covered their heads, unwilling to believe it.
For many members, the biggest goal in their life is to climb to a high position, become a level six creature, join the Council of Elders, and become one of the elders of the Zero Point Tavern.
Before this, the "Cross Skull" who was killed by Su Xia outside Town No. 7 was almost becoming a veteran.
Even if he is not a veteran of the first generation, it would be good to be a veteran of the later generation.
After all, the first generation of elders will also die.
After they die, the new elders will be at the top.
However, the unattainable was slaughtered one by one by the masked man like chickens.
This is such a huge blow to them!
Many of them grew up listening to the legendary stories of these veterans.
"It's fake, it must be fake. How could the three elders join forces and be killed in reverse?" Someone with a pale face muttered.
"Oh, don't kid yourself, the video has been leaked."
Many tavern members sighed. No matter how unwilling they were to believe it, the fact was right before their eyes.
The body of the dead elder is still on the battlefield, hanging on a tall flagpole.
The other two elders had already run far away and did not dare to go back to collect the bodies.
After the battle, several players bravely ran into the battlefield and conducted a brief interview with Su Xia before she left, asking about her feelings.
And Su Xia just uttered four words lightly: "Unable to withstand a single blow!"
These four words, like four sharp swords, severely shattered the psychological defenses of many tavern members.
Their life goal was evaluated like this by the masked man!
"Tsk tsk, this evaluation is simply amazing, he is worthy of being called the Masked Stranger!" The captain of the Fiery Suicide Squad immediately appeared and stomped on the face of the Midnight Tavern twice in a timely manner.
"All three elders have been defeated. What else can the Zero Point Tavern do?"
"Should we ask the Mechanical Clan for help?"
"Given the pride of the Zero Point Tavern, they probably won't ask the Mechanical Clan to help."
"They are already like this, why are they still so arrogant?"
There was a lot of discussion outside, and most of the discussions were pessimistic about the Zero Point Tavern.
Many of those who make such remarks are pseudonymous accounts of various large forces.
After all, they had been suppressed too harshly by the Zero Point Tavern in the past.
We are all large forces, why should your Zero Point Tavern be so superior?
Now that they have the opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune, they will certainly not let it go.
Over the next few days, the Zero Point Tavern remained silent and did not make any comments on the incident. It only sent people to collect the body of the elder.
This attitude makes people wonder whether Zero Point Bar is planning some sinister tricks?
It is impossible to admit defeat.
After all, the Zero Point Tavern had already made it clear that it would never compromise with the masked man.
Just two days later, a new piece of news appeared - the legendary first elder of the Zero Point Tavern appeared at the Elders' Meeting !
"The first elder? Who is this person? I've never heard of him!"
Many people were puzzled when they heard the news.
Are there any rankings for the original founders of the Zero Point Tavern? Didn't they establish the Zero Point Tavern together?
Of course, the word "established" does not seem to be accurate. After all, the Zero Hour Tavern has existed for a long time, and these first-generation elders only rebuilt the Zero Hour Tavern in the Psychic Age.
"I can't find much information. I only know that he has a code name called 'Breaking Cocoon'. Has anyone among you heard of it?"
“I haven’t heard of it, but it sounds very impressive.”
"Those who can rank first are all tough guys. He must be out for the masked man this time. The Zero Point Tavern will make a big move next..."
There is very little information about this first elder on the Internet.
Mysterious and powerful, these are the two most basic impressions people have of him.
Many people believe that this veteran may take action himself to stop the masked man and end his killing spree.
However, three days passed in a flash, and there was still no major movement at the Zero Point Tavern.
In the northwest region of the continent, the masked man has gone on a killing spree.
"Why is there no news from the headquarters? Didn't they say that the first elder has come out?"
In the northwest region, many branches had to disband themselves in order to protect themselves.
The heads of each branch were waiting anxiously.
The longer they wait, the more uncertain they become.
Is the news that the first elder has come out of retirement just fake news to appease them?
As time passed, they couldn't help but think about this.
There are many different opinions and speculations from the outside world.
Not only the Central Continent, but the attention of the other two continents is also focused on the Zero Point Tavern. Everyone wants to know what the Zero Point Tavern will do next?
The two sides have been fighting for several months . It won't just end in nothing, right?
A few days later, news finally came out.
This news is completely opposite to what many people speculated.
"What, the first elder gave a resurrection coin?"
What is the Resurrection Coin?
This question soon appeared in everyone's mind.
Soon, a professional gave an answer: "The resurrection coin is a special commemorative coin that only the first generation of veterans have. Every veteran has one, and one can save a life."
The function of this coin is very consistent with its name.
Save your life!
No matter how serious the crime committed by a member of the Zero Point Tavern is, as long as he has one of these coins, he can be spared from death once.
It is said that there are only twelve of these coins in total, and seven of them have been used over the years.
"This time, the resurrection coin is for the masked weirdo."
"The First Elder wants to save the life of the Masked Stranger?"
People were stunned. They all thought that the First Elder came out to take the life of the masked man.
Could that mysterious first elder be related to the masked man?
“Could it be… that even this First Elder couldn’t deal with the Masked Stranger, so he took out this Resurrection Coin to give both sides a way out?”
"That makes sense. That's probably the case."
One resurrection coin can forgive all the mistakes made by a tavern member.
In other words, no matter how many people in the tavern Su Xia killed or how many rules he broke, as long as he had this coin, everything he did could be forgiven.
Resurrect once, be reborn, and let your past self bear everything.
This is the value of the Resurrection Coin.
"But the problem is... the masked weirdo doesn't have to accept it!"
"Yes, the choice is in the hands of the masked man. What if he doesn't want to accept the settlement? It depends on whether he wants this step or not."
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the masked man.
The outcome depends on his choice.
In fact, Su Xia was also a little surprised when she heard the news.
"Resurrection coin?"
He had been prepared for a counterattack at the Midnight Tavern, intending to wrestle with the first elder, but the result turned out to be like this.
