Chapter 98

In the subway station, the air was stagnant, and a foul smell permeated the atmosphere.

When Sun Yuan saw Duan Guangping, he was taken aback.

Is this actually a beggar?

He was in his forties, with a square face, a scruffy beard, sunken eyes, and hair that hadn't been washed in who knows how long, all matted together in clumps.

He was wearing a pair of jeans with holes in them and a loose, oversized tank top, both of which were covered in oil stains and dirt, making them look filthy.

Yet, this man was leading seven subordinates, and in his left arm, he was holding a young woman.

The woman was wearing a short skirt on the lower half of her body, barefoot, and only in her bra on the upper half. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like peaches.

Clearly, she had been coerced.

"Why don't you resist?"

Sun Yuan was shocked.

These seven men, from their attire, included students, workers, and white-collar workers. Even if one of them couldn't defeat this beggar, together, the seven of them should have had the strength to fight back.

Even if they couldn't win in a direct confrontation, they could have ambushed him.

"Resist?"

When Duan Guangping heard this, he laughed out loud. "I am the man chosen by the gods, endowed with soul power. How can they resist?"

The seven men and the woman, upon hearing this, all showed fear on their faces, clearly having been disciplined by Duan Guangping.

"How about it? Scared, aren't you?"

Duan Guangping was very pleased.

A few days ago, when the world became gamified and spore people appeared, Duan Guangping panicked and fled into the subway tunnel. Unexpectedly, he found a vending machine there.

Out of curiosity, he fiddled with it for a while, and during a free draw, he obtained a soul stone, becoming a prophet.

At that time, there were other people in the subway. They managed to kill the spore people and pull down the iron gates at the subway entrance, thinking they were temporarily safe. However, they were unexpectedly attacked by Duan Guangping's illusions.

Thus, they were all defeated.

Duan Guangping became the king of this subway station, controlling the food. Those who obeyed him could eat, while those who disobeyed were beaten and thrown into the subway tunnel to die.

With this carrot-and-stick approach, no one dared to resist.

"What are you waiting for? Get rid of him quickly!"

Duan Guangping urged, kicking Lu Gang in the lower back.

Lu Gang was a mover, strong and muscular, holding a fire axe, looking fierce.

"If you turn around now, you can kill him!"

Sun Yuan looked at Lu Gang. "If I were you, I'd rather die than be bossed around like this!"

Lu Gang's face turned ashen, staring at Sun Yuan. He didn't want to be in this situation, but he was afraid. A few days ago, a young delivery man had been defiant and refused to submit, only to be beaten and thrown into the tunnel to die.

"Move quickly!"

Duan Guangping kicked Lu Gang again.

Lu Gang tightened his grip on the fire axe, about to charge, when he suddenly heard the handsome young man say:

"Friend, something's wrong with you!"

The other man's eyes were deep, mysterious, and dark, like two black gems, and his voice was like a low whisper from a god.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Gang's rationality snapped, and he fell into a state of confusion.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Then, a surge of anger filled Lu Gang's chest. How could I be enslaved by a beggar?

This is outrageous!

I'd rather die than suffer this humiliation.

Lu Gang turned around, swung the fire axe, and lunged at Duan Guangping, aiming to split his head.

Duan Guangping instinctively pushed the young woman he was holding out in front of him.

Crack!

Duan Guangping's axe killed her, and due to the force, the axe got stuck in her bones, unable to be pulled out.

"You... You want to die?"

Duan Guangping shouted, his face panicked. He activated his illusions to stop Lu Gang and urged the others: "Stop him quickly!"

The others hesitated and didn't move.

Around Lu Gang, many spore people appeared. If it were before, he would have been intimidated, but this time, he charged at Duan Guangping with red, angry eyes, determined to take him down.

"Shit!"

Duan Guangping turned and ran.

His soul power could create a realistic illusion that players couldn't distinguish from reality, terrifying enough to scare them to death. However, if the players were not afraid of death, his illusions were useless.

At this moment, Lu Gang, influenced by Sun Yuan's witch's nightmare, had lost his rationality and was eager to do what he had always wanted to do but never dared to.

And what Lu Gang had never dared to do was to resist Duan Guangping.

"You... What did you do to him?"

Duan Guangping was afraid. He had just been lucky, drawing the soul stone and gaining soul power. Although he had a head start, he didn't capitalize on it by going out to hunt spore people and strengthen himself. Instead, he hid here and enjoyed life.

Now, with his illusions useless, Duan Guangping was at a loss because he couldn't fight Lu Gang.

"You... Are you also a man chosen by the gods?"

Duan Guangping, with a fearful look, begged for mercy: "Spare my life? I'll give you all the food and women here."

The six men standing by, who hadn't dared to move, shrank back, their eyes filled with fear and dread as they looked at Sun Yuan.

"Cowards!"

Sun Yuan shook his head, disappointed. This Duan Guangping was lowering the prestige of the prophets.

So, if a person lacks insight and courage, even if they get lucky and gain power, they can't maximize its value.

Lu Gang caught up to Duan Guangping and swung the axe at his back.

Ah!

Duan Guangping screamed, falling to the ground.

"Spare... Spare my life!"

Just as Duan Guangping finished shouting, the fire axe cut into his neck.

Crack!

His neck bone was almost severed, and blood spurted out, splattering the floor.

"Is he dead?"

The men, upon seeing this, went from tense to joyful, then to excited and frenzied. They rushed to Duan Guangping's body, beating and kicking him, venting the resentment they had accumulated over the past few days.

"Where is his hideout?"

Sun Yuan asked.

A high school student, about to answer, was suddenly slapped hard by Lu Gang.

Slap!

The slap was crisp.

"Friend, I'm in charge here!"

Lu Gang stared at Sun Yuan, gripping the fire axe. He felt that by killing Duan Guangping, he had proven himself and deserved to take control of everything.

Sun Yuan raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Didn't you hear what the beggar just called me?"

"A man chosen by the gods?"

Lu Gang sneered, kicking Duan Guangping's body. "He was, but I still killed him, didn't I?"

Lu Gang was inflated with pride, thinking these people were nothing. As long as he was ruthless enough, he could win.

Sun Yuan looked into Lu Gang's eyes and smiled. "Friend, something's wrong with you!"

Lu Gang was about to retort, "You're the one who's wrong," but the next moment, he couldn't help but look at the young woman's body, then pounce on it, kissing and biting her.

Lu Gang was ugly, had a bad job, and couldn't earn much money, so he couldn't find a girlfriend. He could only watch porn to relieve his frustrations.

He had wanted to visit a brothel, but it was too expensive. A meal cost 200 yuan, which he couldn't afford, so he was still a virgin.

Now, under the influence of the witch's nightmare, his rationality had collapsed, and he just wanted to vent. Even a sheep would do.

"..."

Sun Yuan was taken aback, not expecting Lu Gang's reaction to be like this. However, he immediately rushed forward, swinging a baseball bat at Lu Gang's head.

He couldn't let Lu Gang desecrate the young woman's body.

The protagonist's soul power still needs to be developed!
