Absolute Death Game

(I must settle the situation here before things escalate further), Dugu Han thought to himself. He dared not call the police, nor did he dare ask the boss for help. Heaven knows what kind of trouble it would bring him if this matter were to leak out.

The most pressing matter now was to quell this incident, take out those from the Demon Clan, and of course, most importantly, find the entrance through which they came to this world and seal it off, to prevent more monsters from coming over.

As he thought, he glanced at the door behind him, where the Qilin Group was standing by, his final trump card and potentially his chance to turn defeat into victory. Dugu Han might not be a good leader, but he was certainly a formidable gambler.

He understood all too well that aces should only be played at the most critical moment, and before that, it was better to make do with the lousy cards in hand.

Lost in his thoughts, he took a deep breath, pushed open the door to his office, and stepped out.

Seeing Dugu Han emerge, Ouyang hastily shouted, "Quiet, quiet!"

Once everyone had stopped their discussion, Dugu Han spoke with authority, "Listen up, everybody. The matter we are dealing with is of utmost importance. If mishandled, not only are we in danger of losing our lives, but the entire world might be destroyed. You have probably seen for yourselves that the monsters from the games have made their way out.

We must eliminate them and destroy the Teleportation Portal they are using to get here. Only by working together can we succeed in this."

Someone in the crowd shouted, "How could that be possible? We are all just ordinary people. We don't have the ability to fight monsters." Xiao Buli glanced over and saw it was Wu Tao, the person who was designated to counter Dugu Han in the plan agreed upon with Zhang Yaoyang.

"Yes! Yes! You're just sending us to our deaths!" The crowd agreed with Wu Tao's point, responding one after another.

Dugu Han, clearly impatient, bellowed, "I'll just say it straight. This game isn't as simple as that Liu guy said it was. The game can not only strengthen your physique, but the abilities you obtain in the game can also be utilized in reality. Any kind of spell, martial arts, you name it, it means you're essentially superhumans or superheroes by now."

With Dugu Han's revelation, the room erupted with people questioning and others getting excited, and yet some simply sneered, those who already knew about this matter.

Wu Tao suddenly stood out, seemingly very curious as he asked, "If benefits from the game can be brought into reality, can the negative aspects transfer over too? For instance, if someone dies in the game, do they also die in real life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a frightful silence, with everyone's eyes turned to Dugu Han, carrying evident suspicion. With a dry laugh, Dugu Han admitted, "To tell the truth, yes, that is indeed the case."

The room once again became noisy, with people's faces turning red with agitation. Of course, there were also those who simply sneered but had no significant reaction, as they were the ones who already knew the truth.

Sensing things might spiral out of control, Dugu Han hurriedly grabbed a pistol from a bodyguard next to him and fired a shot at the ceiling.

With a bang, the hall was quiet once more. After all, to those living in the modern world, there was still a natural fear of firearms.

Dugu Han shouted hoarsely, "Everyone listen up. I'm not asking you, but stating a fact. The fact is, we're all trapped here now, and the Demon Clan is advancing level by level, and will eventually reach us. If we can't work together, when the Demon Clan arrives, we're all dead. Don't think I'm exaggerating the danger. Some of the White Tiger members have already lost their lives.

If you don't believe me, ask this guy," he said, pulling forward a survivor from White Tiger, who was Li Baocheng.

Li Baocheng grimaced, "That Li Jian—he went crazy. As soon as he entered the server room, he hacked Leader Wang to death, then turned and started slashing wildly at everyone while spouting madness about the Demon Clan ruling the world. It was terrifying."

"What, Li Jian went crazy?" "The Li Jian from White Tiger?" "I knew he didn't look like a good guy, always wearing those sunglasses."

"You don't need to worry, Li Jian has been valiantly killed by one of our employees and is no longer a threat. However, more of the Demon Clan are still behind that. If we can't come together, the danger will eventually reach us," Dugu Han continued.

The Pioneer Corps looked at Xiao Buli with a changed perspective; particularly Zhang Hao, Ma Long, and Gao Lianyu. Xiao Buli didn't pay it any mind—it was a matter that couldn't be explained anyway, and soon it wouldn't matter.

Dugu Han went on to say, "As I've said before, you are capable of using your in-game abilities, so you're all like mini superheroes. If we join forces to blast back the Demon Clan, helping me is also helping yourselves out of a big predicament. I promise a reward of one million each right away, and those who wish can join and become core members of our organization.

For those who don't want to, no hard feelings, and I promise not to trouble you. What do you say?"
