Chapter 215: Chapter 215: An Unprecedented Storm, What Is His True Confidence
After that sentence was spoken, the atmosphere among everyone grew even more oppressive and heavy. That sense of sorrow, even with everyone wearing black robes, was still vividly visible.
All the figures remained hidden in the darkness, heads raised, staring uniformly at the blue-painted face on the screen.
The vibe wasn’t like they were watching a person’s video.
It was more like watching someone who had already passed away—watching footage from their life, in mourning.
The scene was incredibly eerie. Coupled with their attire and the surrounding environment, it gave off the illusion of a horror movie.
“Forget it, there’s nothing worth saying!” Finally, a voice spoke up, tinged with gritted teeth, “No matter how strong he is, he’s twisted. A person like that, dying is no big loss.”
“Twisted?” Someone immediately responded.
“What’s right, and what’s twisted.”
“After all these years, have we still not realized? Madness and bloodshed don’t necessarily mean ‘twisted’.”
Upon hearing that, the previous speaker fell silent, only letting out a long sigh before saying:
“No matter what, he’s as good as dead. Talking about this is meaningless.”
“He just had to make himself stand out like that—like he was afraid no one would notice him. Suicidal.”
“Maybe… maybe there’ll be a miracle,” one voice said. “After all, he’s already accomplished things that we couldn’t.”
That voice lacked confidence from the beginning, and even now, no one dared to affirm the sentiment.
Everyone just shook their heads, but there was one thing that was clear.
—He really had already accomplished many things no one before had achieved.
It’s just that, in the face of greater despair, those achievements still weren’t enough.
Someone said:
“I’m really curious. How does he have this kind of power?”
“Did he just start participating in the game recently?”
“It really is hard to understand,” everyone immediately chimed in, “the speed of his power growth is just too illogical. And honestly, I don’t think that’s the scariest part.”
“The scariest thing is, it’s like there’s an incomprehensible strength supporting him from within. His passion for the game, his obsession with power—it’s terrifying.”
“It’s like from the very start of the game, he already put the pursuit of power above life and death.”
“With that kind of will and desire, you really can’t tell if it’s the game toying with him, or if he’s the one using the game.”
As the Elders spoke, it was as if a flicker of hope had been rekindled—the mood lightened somewhat.
“Alright, whatever happens to him, we’ll just have to leave it to fate.” One Elder said, “But now what do we do next?”
“This game—we’ve been watching it together—the fact that it descended into the real world is clearly a signal.”
“And this time, ‘Sin’ was used, and the players even won. Looks like we’re about to face an unprecedented storm. That kid really is the eye of the storm.”
Another Elder shook his head with a bitter smile and said:
“Heh, an unprecedented storm…”
“Back when that game openly started descending upon the entire world, didn’t the storm already begin?”
Sigh…
The mood among the group sank again. It was obvious they weren’t optimistic about the current situation.
“Actually, I think…”
A slightly jarring voice spoke up. All the other voices were elderly, but this one almost sounded like a child’s.
“Maybe… we can look forward to ‘Sin’ a bit.”
“Do you all remember what he said at the end?”
“He said he wouldn’t let the game take advantage of him.”
Everyone froze. In fact, they had all seen it and paid close attention to that line.
But they really didn’t know what to make of it.
After all, what they were discussing were impacts and goals on a macro world-consciousness scale.
No matter how powerful “Sin” was, he was still just a player—a being confined by the game. How much impact could he really have on the world?
For now, none of them held much hope.
“Elders.”
At the doorway, a man in a suit stood respectfully, head slightly bowed.
“Should any precautions be taken? Should the official organization go public?”
“Go public,” the Elders said decisively. “But remember, in this case, it’s better to guide than to suppress. Absolutely no heavy-handed policies. Making impulsive decisions now is a death sentence.”
“Understood!” The man in the suit gave a slight bow. “Then should we use all resources to search for this ‘Sin’?”
“No need!”
In a small underground room, without any layers of bureaucratic procedure, they directly decided on a matter of global scale.
Under the dim lighting, the group slowly stepped out of the shadows.
Their robes were uniform—black with gold trim!
……
A similar meeting was happening elsewhere.
In the Chiyo household, in a room that resembled an imperial palace, four or five large screens were set up.
Each screen showed a different first-person gameplay feed—from Chiyo Eine, Xie Antong, and Lu Ce.
But now, in the Chiyo family, the screen placed right in the center was showing—“Sin.”
Clearly, they were reviewing the game from multiple perspectives.
“Hss~~”
The sound of sharp inhales filled the room. They knew how strong Chiyo Eine was.
But what they hadn’t expected was that this powerhouse, bearing the future of the Chiyo family, had gone all-out—and ended up like this.
Watching “Sin’s” every move throughout the entire match, connecting the dots front to back, the group couldn’t even force out stubborn comments.
This lunatic was practically going berserk on everyone—no distinction between players or Hunters. It was like he entered the game fully prepared to take down every last person!
They had truly witnessed the madness of the world’s number one.
“Incredible…”
Chiyo Ji, Chiyo Eine’s younger brother, was so stunned his eyes were glued to the screen, but realizing his big sister was still nearby, he quickly shut his mouth.
At that moment, every screen had its camera trained precisely on one focal point.
There, Lu Ce was facing Chiyo Eine and said:
—“In a game like this, how could I possibly allow someone to earn more than me!”
Anyone with the ability to see through to the essence of things was already analyzing this line!
