Chapter 716: In The Name Of Justice

Considering how dangerous it was to become a player, many of the capable ones would have a trump card to handle critical situations .

1810 was no exception . His trump card was a Grade-C game item that went by the name “Feign Death . ” In other words, 1810 had two grade-C game items with him . It was a secret even his team members knew nothing about .

Feign Death was an elementary game item . Basically, it allowed the user to fake their death in front of everyone, where the illusion would last for fifteen minutes . If someone touched the user’s body, however, the item’s effect would be nullified .

While 1810 took his time walking from the first floor to the third, he was actually watching out for Shen Dongxing’s ambush and looking for a spot where he could use his Feign Death . Whether Yogurt or Shen Dongxing, none of the two realized that 1810 had sneaked out of the mall after he faked his death .

Since 1810 now knew that Yogurt had orchestrated the whole thing from the beginning, he was no longer concerned about her safety . Hence, he only had one thing to do tonight, and that was to kill Shen Dongxing .

The latter’s absence in the mall surprised 1810 . However, he strongly believed that Shen Dongxing had to be somewhere nearby . After reading the information that Shen Xixi provided him, he now knew the nature of the relationship between them both .

Yogurt had never developed romantic feelings for Shen Dongxing, who, however, was completely obsessed with Yogurt .

1810 was a man too, and he was once a young lad . He knew exactly what a boy that age was thinking about .

When the girl he liked was in danger, no matter how strong or weak he was, he couldn’t just watch and do nothing from a distance .

The person who shot 1810 was 1810 himself . He killed his own illusion to create chaos and to disrupt Yogurt’s plan . After he killed his illusion, he turned his gun and fired at Yogurt . This was to prevent her from checking his dead body downstairs . The second reason he did that was to force Shen Dongxing’s hand when he saw Yogurt getting attacked .

As expected, Shen Dongxing went all out to save Yogurt . He mechanized the remaining figurines he had and rushed them to the mall . When he did that, his location was immediately exposed .

He was about to pay a huge price for his actions .

1810 knew that Shen Dongxing had taken the bait . He did not enter the internet café, however, because what he was about to do was illegal .

So he quietly walked to the other side of the café, where he could see what would happen in Shen Dongxing’s private cubicle .

1810 didn’t need to spend too much effort looking for Shen Dongxing . The latter was sitting in front of the computer and looked very anxious . From time to time, he would look in the mall’s direction through the window . The poor guy hadn’t realized that he had actually been targeted .

“You can only blame your bad luck . ”

1810 was just about to pull the trigger when he heard a voice nearby talking to him .

“Is this necessary?”

Shen Xixi emerged from the corner of the convenience store, looking at 1810 with a solemn expression .

1810 was surprised to see Shen Xixi .

“How did you find this place?”

Before waiting for the other party to answer, 1810 stressed in a deep voice, “Tonight’s matter has nothing to do with you . You’d better not get involved . I will pay him the four hundred points left by your friend . ”

“And the price of that is? A young and innocent life?”

“I agree with young, but he is far from innocent . If he didn’t stick his nose into my business, he would not have lost his life today . ” 1810’s last sentence carried a hint of threat .

From a rational standpoint, 1810 did not want to be Shen Xixi’s enemy . Although he had never seen her fighting with anyone before, he knew she was an upright and righteous woman . Some might not fully agree with Shen Xixi’s philosophy, but one could not deny that it was good to have someone like her as a friend .

Therefore, the consequences of killing Shen Xixi and an insignificant otaku like Shen Dongxing were completely different . But at this point, it would be hard to put a stop to his plan . And now 1810 had a new problem . Even if he killed Shen Dongxing, he couldn’t escape the law since Shen Xixi watched him . In other words, his only way to completely absolve himself from this mess was to kill Shen Xixi after he killed Shen Dongxing .

Fortunately, 1810’s problem did not last too long .

A figure then came out of the Internet café .

1810 subconsciously pointed the muzzle at the person . To his surprise, his opponent reacted faster than him . The person took out a pistol, casually pulled the trigger, and the bullet landed on 1810’s weapon, dead on target .

“Meeting a person who’s willing to reason with you is something you should cherish,” Zhang Heng said, “most wouldn’t waste their time negotiating with you . ”

Immediately, 1810’s expression changed . The person he feared most was none other than Zhang Heng himself . When the two met for the first time, he knew nothing about the young lad . However, he had to admit that if it were not for Zhang Heng, they would have never captured the mechanical Sphinx . Considering Zhang Heng ranked first in the proxy war’s leaderboard, 1810 knew that he was not powerful enough to defeat an opponent like him .

So he was smart enough to put down his weapon . He then raised both of his hands to tell Zhang Heng that he wanted to surrender .

Although he acted aggressively tonight, he killed nobody in the end . It meant Shen Xixi didn’t need to eliminate or punish him . At most, she would make him pay Zhang Heng the remaining game points he owed and give him a verbal warning .

Zhang Heng glanced at Shen Xixi . The latter’s expression, too, seemed a little hesitant . After a while, she took out a small scale and said to 1810, “I am no judge, and I am not qualified to judge you . Since this is a player’s matter, we can’t hand you over to the police . However, you did attempt to kill someone, and I can’t just let you off the hook without doing anything . Since this is the situation, we can only let the Justice Scale judge you . ”

Zhang Heng could see that Shen Xixi did not really want to use her Justice Scale on 1810, but unfortunately, there was no other way to deal with him . In the end, she took the scale and walked towards 1810 .

1810’s expression became tense . As a player, he knew that different game items were used in different situations . The scale Shen Xixi held looked unusual, not to mention the powerful aura of righteousness it exuded .

1810 attempted to stay calm, but he felt more and more guilty when he looked at the scale . In the end, his legs went soft, and he could not help but kneel on the ground . Shen Xixi stood still in front of him and sighed . In one hand, she held the scale, the other, placed on 1810’s head . She then said sternly .

“In the name of justice, I shall now judge your evil deeds!”
