Ma Rui's words surprised everyone. These words completely disregarded Bai Shuang's feelings and thoroughly offended Bai Shuang.
Everyone looked at Bai Shuang, only to see that her expression remained unchanged, as if she didn't care.
But everyone knows she can't possibly be indifferent; at most, she just doesn't plan to take action right now.
They had all heard about this woman's exploits; she was definitely a very vengeful woman.
If you offend her in the Instance, she will definitely find a chance to retaliate.
She usually settles scores with those who offended her and those who refused to follow her orders when she is about to complete Instance.
Because the Instance rewards are given to everyone in the team.
She will not allow anyone who has not put in the effort to enjoy the fruits of completing the Instance.
But as long as you're willing to give her face and do as she says, she won't make things difficult for you, and might even give you some preferential treatment in Instance.
In short, everything is fine if you go along with her, but if you go against her, you'll definitely suffer the consequences.
Everyone was worried for Ma Rui.
Bai Shuang said, "Since you don't trust me, then you should act on your own."
Then she looked at the others and said, "What about you? Will you follow my orders and act with me, or will you do the same as him?"
Several people said in unison, "Of course we'll go with Miss Bai."
They still had a lot of faith in Bai Shuang's abilities. Although she was a bit controlling, she was otherwise fine.
There should really be a way to clear the level with Bai Shuang.
After all, this is an S-rank Instance, and the rewards for clearing it are very generous.
With a pro player to guide you, you might even win without lifting a finger. The advantages of choosing this option are obvious.
"Alright, since you've chosen to follow me, then listen to my commands. If you don't, don't blame me if you die in the Instance."
They all nodded; they knew the rules.
Bai Shuang looked at Ma Rui again, her face still expressionless. "Three seconds to get out of my sight, or I'll kill you."
Ma Rui glared angrily at Bai Shuang; he really wanted to rush up and slap this woman a few times.
But no one supports him now, and if he actually takes action, he might get ganged up on.
Reason prevailed over his anger.
After all, one person can't fight against four hands with two fists, so let's just swallow our anger for now.
This is inside Instance; even if you get killed, nobody will care.
Ma Rui clenched his fist, turned his head, and walked forward.
He wasn't walking very fast, because he didn't take Bai Shuang's mention of three seconds to heart at all.
He felt that since he had already backed down, the other party should let him go.
But he was wrong.
Bai Shuang wasn't a very magnanimous person; she said three seconds had to be exactly three seconds, not even a second more.
Ma Rui suddenly felt something was wrong with her body; she had an intense itch.
The itch wasn't on the surface of the skin, but inside the flesh.
It felt as if tiny insects were burrowing through his skin, into his flesh, and crawling inside him.
At first, the itching was bearable, and it only occurred on his arms.
But after a few seconds, the itch gradually spread and became increasingly intense, and he couldn't help but scratch it.
But the itch was deep inside his flesh, and no matter how much he scratched, it couldn't be relieved.
He quickly scratched the skin off his arm, revealing many gruesome bloody marks; there was hardly a patch of intact skin on his entire arm.
But this was only the beginning. The itch continued to spread, reaching every corner of his body, even his bones, which ached intensely.
Ma Rui kept scratching at himself, looking completely frantic.
His body was covered in bloody welts, wherever his hands could reach.
Only pain could relieve the itching on his body; he even wanted to take out his own bones and grind them on a stone.
"You vile woman, what have you done?!" Ma Rui cursed wildly.
"I did nothing," Bai Shuang said coldly.
But everyone knows that she must have done something to Ma Rui.
"You... you bitch, I'll fight you to the death!"
Ma Rui shouted and was about to rush forward, but he had barely moved when he suddenly fell to the ground and rolled around frantically.
The itch suddenly disappeared, replaced by intense pain.
Inside his body, it felt as if countless worms were gnawing at his flesh and blood; those worms had even made holes in his bones and were devouring his marrow.
"Ah--"
Ma Rui couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream. The excruciating pain made him completely lose his mind. At this moment, all he could do was roll around on the ground desperately. He was almost going crazy.
Seeing Ma Rui's miserable state, the other four felt a chill run down their spines.
That's too cruel.
They knew Bai Shuang was powerful and decisive, but they never expected her to be so cruel.
This scene made several people feel uncomfortable.
A chill ran down their spines, and they were secretly relieved that they had made the right choice.
If they choose to oppose this woman, this kind of thing will probably happen to them too.
Gradually, Ma Rui's screams stopped.
He could no longer speak, for he was dead.
If you look closely, you'll see that Ma Rui's body is riddled with holes, with tiny puncture wounds everywhere.
Inside those holes, you could see small black insects, which were probably the cause of Ma Rui's pain.
Bai Shuang glanced at the corpse on the ground and said casually,
"I'm sorry to have shown you something so cruel. Actually, this is the first time I've used this thing. I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel."
I won't use it lightly in the future.
A chill ran down their spines, and a sense of fear rose within them; this woman was terrifying.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Bai Shuang was satisfied and said,
"Don't be afraid. Although I show no mercy to the enemy, as long as you are my teammates, I will never harm you."
They had decided that they must obey this woman's every command.
If she tells them to go east, they will absolutely not go west; even if she tells them to die, they will die immediately.
Because nothing is more terrible than dying at the hands of this woman.
Bai Shuang looked ahead and said, "Let's go. The noise we made has disturbed the residents. We need to leave immediately."
Bai Shuang led the way, with several people following behind her; the atmosphere was extremely tense.
They were now in an open space on the edge of the city. Bai Shuang led them into a small alley, and then they used the walls to climb to the roof of a two-story building.
Now they can see that the place where they were just standing is now surrounded by residents.
Luckily they left beforehand, otherwise they would be in trouble now.
Bai Shuang whispered, "Don't make a sound. Let's go down after they've dispersed."
All four nodded.
A dozen minutes later, the residents began to disperse, leaving the open space deserted. Even the corpses on the ground were taken away by them.
Bai Shuang said, "There's no one around now. You can talk now, but don't speak too loudly."
Also, once we get to a place with people, we can't talk. If anyone makes such a basic mistake, don't blame me for not taking responsibility.
All four nodded. Even without Bai Shuang's reminder, they wouldn't have made such a basic mistake.
Miss Bai, I have a question.
The guide says that the deity doesn't seem to want us to save Him.
"If we actually complete the mission and release Him, will there be any trouble?"
The speaker was another woman in the group, named An Qian, who was around thirty years old.
She appeared extremely nervous at this moment, because she also felt that Bai Shuang was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested.
I wonder if her question will offend this Miss Bai.
But Bai Shuang wasn't angry. She said, "I know what you're talking about. Your concerns aren't unfounded."
However, I know why. It involves a secret, but it won't be a secret for long, so I can tell you now without hesitation.
