The predecessor of Smiling Coffin was not a red-name guild, or even a guild, but an organization similar to an intelligence organization. Of course, what they were engaged in was not the sale of intelligence, but assassination.

Assassinate enemy players.

In this world, once a player is attacked, he will become a yellow name. These yellow names can be eliminated over time, or by doing some specific tasks to relieve the NPC of wanting him. However, once a player is killed, the yellow name will be removed.

It can never be washed away. You can only wander in the wild for the rest of your life, escaping attacks from other players.

But wherever there are people, there will be disputes, oppression, or grudges. It is inevitable that some people will make many other players think that it would be great if this person left the game permanently. But they cannot take action, because once they kill him, their own

My gaming career is basically over.

As for the players who make up the Smiling Coffin organization, most of them are guys who have become famous due to helplessness or desolation. In other words, they just failed to resist and killed their opponents, but they still have a bright heart in their hearts.

people.

No one knows who is there to fund their supplies, and no one knows who brought the first dozen or so yellow-named players together to help each other and survive together. The only thing that is spread outside is the one who was killed by them.

A man who is respectfully called the president.

They called him Smiling Coffin.

Not because he likes to kill people with a smile, but because he gives these players, who have lost their ability to survive like dead men, a smile of hope...

Of course, it is said that they were just a secret mutual aid organization at the beginning. But on the twentieth floor, they took action for the first time, and the person who was assassinated was Kibaou, the vice-president of the army, the largest and most powerful organization at the time.

No one knows how or why he died. They only know that on the stone tablet of the Black Iron Palace, a line was forever carved on the ground with Kibaou's name. At the same time, a strange thing was discovered in his office.

The smiling skull, and the name of the smiling coffin.

After that month, news began to spread that you could ask Smiling Coffin to do some shady things. As long as you could pay them a satisfactory reward, they would get rid of the annoying person for you.

But the price of this "satisfactory reward" is entirely determined by them. Someone once threatened to pay a rare item and a kel that was enough to buy three houses at the time to assassinate the president of the army, but Smiling Coffin felt that he was

The offer was too low. A female player wanted Smiling Coffin to get rid of a beta tester who was quite high-level at the time...

Smiling Coffin only collected 1 kel and killed the beta tester that night.

Moody, this is how ordinary players define them. At that time, everyone was afraid that they would encounter this group of murderers in the wild. In the nine months after Kibaou was killed, someone counted the Smiling Coffin.

A total of 90 crime marks were left. In those nine months, less than 1,000 players left the game. In other words, nearly one in ten players died at their hands.

The strange thing is that although some high-level players were worried all day long, most ordinary players discovered that the dead guys were players who usually bullied ordinary players and thought they were superior. After a few months, they gave

Here is the second definition of smiling coffin.

Sword of Damocles.

Of course, ordinary players can't say whether they like or dislike Smiling Coffin, but high-level players hate this organization. At that time, the Holy Dragon jointly launched a crusade with them as the main force, and deliberately sent people to commission assassinations.

A person with a very bad reputation in his guild then set up an ambush and wanted to annihilate the organization in one fell swoop. In order not to let anyone slip through the net, they even attacked green players who were close to the assassination target.

However, on the second day, no one saw the fifteen players who set up the encirclement anymore.

However, it didn’t take long for the Smiling Coffin to deteriorate. People speculated that it was their revenge, while others speculated that they had too much blood on their hands and became addicted to killing. The Smiling Coffin began to no longer accept any commissions.

A guild was established, and it was the only red-named guild.

The president is——POH.

No one knows where the previous president has gone, but most well-informed people know that this POH is definitely not the man they call the smiling coffin, and that man seems to have suddenly disappeared, leaving only

The name of this guild.

A name that is completely opposite to their original definition.

Some people speculated that he was betrayed by POH, some speculated that he had given up his life, and some speculated that he might have left the game unexpectedly. But everyone knew that since he left, Smiling Coffin is no longer the gray guild, but a naked guild.

, no longer concealing the fact that he has a reputation for murdering people.

Asuna didn't expect that the man in front of her who wore an indifferent smile all day long was actually the creator of all evils - yes, the current Smile Guild is called extremely evil.

Without him, this group of exiled players would not have been gathered together. Without him, this group of yellow-named players who should have died long ago would not have survived until now, becoming the black sheep of the red-named guild.

"Pah, pah."

The leader POH clapped his hands twice, and ten more cloaked players appeared around him. They all wore uniform cloaks and held one-handed swords, daggers, or similar fast-attack weapons.

"Brother..."

Kirino grabbed Shota's hand with some worry. After recognizing the fact, she also knew that it was useless to make a fuss at this time.

"Asuna, you and Kirino will follow me in a moment. After I open a path, you and Kirino will run back without looking back."

Shota looked at the group of people surrounding him warily and said, "Although I have already informed Kirito and Heathcliff, it will definitely take a long time for them to get here. Asuna!"

Asuna seemed to still be shocked by Shota's identity, and she didn't react until Shota called her name again.

"If I have the chance, I will explain it to you. Although I don't really want to mention those things. If there is no chance... forget it, you can ask the black cat guy for confirmation."

"Don't worry, respected former president."

Red-eyed Shasa raised his sword and said to Shota: "You can't escape."

POH made a slashing gesture, and one of the players surrounding Shota launched an attack at the same time!

"It's time to pay back the debt for what I did before."

A black light appeared on Shota's hand...

"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"

"Bang——"

With a quick palm strike, the player closest to Shota was directly knocked away. At the same time, Kirino and Asuna were also attacked.

"when--"

Kirino used a shield to block Shasa's sword skills, but after seeing the smile on his lips under his cloak, he suddenly had a bad thought.

"Let's go!"

Asuna gritted her teeth, fended off the attack, and quickly took Kirino's hand and ran towards the gap shot by Shouta. Just as Kirino left where she was standing, she found a knife that looked like a kitchen knife. The same sudden stroke came over, but his target was not Kirino who was supposed to be standing there, but Shota's back!

Shota's HP has changed significantly after he received a blow from his fellow demon swordsman Kirito Din. This sharp short sword can break through all armor defenses, even professional inversions of the Hollow Sword style.

"Flowers, birds, wind and moon!"

Using his backhand as a knife, Shota turned around and stabbed POH in the neck. However, he had already realized this and immediately escaped from the encirclement after the successful blow.

Turning the thorns into slices, Shota's hand sword directly swung past a guy who was trying to chase Kirino, Asuna and others. After seeing them break through the encirclement, half of the stone in his heart fell.

"Boss, I'll go after..."

"Stop chasing those two people. Unless one of the three of us chases them down personally, there is no chance of winning. But in that case, we have no confidence that we can kill that person with low casualties."

POH stopped Shasa's desire to pursue. Seeing that Shota still showed no disadvantage under the siege of 8 players ranked second in the attack group, he said: "Quick fight!"

"OK!"

Shasha licked the tip of his sword excitedly, and then the three giants once again joined the besieging battle group.

Seeing that the Big Three did not personally pursue Asuna and Kirino, but only sent two ordinary members to pursue Asuna and Kirino, Shota finally let go of his worries about the two women.

Then……

The ultimate secret of the virtual sword style - the soul of the sword.

"Pfft——"

Shota blocked Tomogiri Chef Ding with his arm, and blocked the attacks of the other two with his knees and body respectively. He said sternly: "Don't forget, who taught you all your attack skills..."

The three of them were instantly shaken away by him. However, facing the unstoppable Shota, the three of them did not feel discouraged. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Less than 1% of passive skills will not be forcibly released. Although you can be as powerful as a BOSS during that period of time, in the end... you still cannot escape the fate of being killed by us."

POH has been waiting for Shota to use this powerful but very flawed skill. Once he uses it, it will be a true battle between trapped beasts.

The three giants stood in three directions of Shota, blocking his escape position. POH calmly commanded: "Surround... and defend."

"Then let's bet on how many of you I can kill in just a few dozen seconds."

Shota jumped up like a wild beast and rushed directly towards POH, the strongest among the three giants.

"The thing I regret most in my life is agreeing to your original request, POH!"

"But it's too late to regret it now." POH also responded: "The duel where you attacked the vital points was really so beautiful. I always thought you were the art I pursued. Who knows, even if I was so forced You, you are just a coward who doesn’t even want to kill anyone!”

"You know, you are completely out of tune with our group of people whose only life is killing!"

"..."

"Did they withdraw?"

After forcing the two pursuers back, Asuna looked worriedly at the health bar in the team frame plummeting. After she sent Kirino to a place where she could use the crystal, a hint of perseverance suddenly flashed across her face.

.

No matter what kind of person he was before, he is now a gentle and strong person in his memory!

Even if we have to die, we must die together!

"Don't go there."

On the contrary, Kirino had calmed down a lot. She held Asuna's hand, shook her head calmly, and said, "I can't resurrect two people."
To be continued...
