Intimidate！！

This time, Qin Siyang was truly panicked.

He was more flustered than when he ate the god remains in the trash can or killed people in the dark alley.

He felt his whole body go stiff, and his blood seemed to freeze.

Even when he had just been reborn that night and saw countless black moths with glowing eyes crawling on the glass, he hadn't been this scared.

He sat there stupidly in front of the computer, not knowing what to do. His thoughts had come to a halt.

At this moment, the message on the computer screen changed again.

[Friendly reminder from the Internet café attendant]

[Just keep browsing. Don't leave when you're done. Wait for me in the alley behind the Internet café.]

Qin Siyang looked at the message on the screen but had no intention of continuing to browse [Godslaying Camp].

The attendant's words were like a bomb, shattering his previously relaxed and happy mood.

This attendant had been monitoring him!

Just thinking that his every move had been watched by the attendant made Qin Siyang shiver all over.

He felt as if there were a pair of eyes staring at his back.

Maybe the experience of killing someone yesterday had made Qin Siyang's mind a lot stronger.

He calmed himself down and opened [Godslaying Camp] again.

The smell of cigarettes here made him feel restless. The lights here made him dizzy.

So, this Internet café was probably the last one he'd ever visit.

No, it should be that he probably wouldn't enter any Internet cafés again.

Not just this one, but all Internet cafés. Because there was always a risk of being monitored.

He had to find a sequence to disguise himself during this browsing of [Godslaying Camp].

Qin Siyang continued to browse the post summarizing the sequences and looked for a suitable sequence to disguise himself.

Finally, his eyes locked on a sequence.

[Phantom Assassin]

[Sequence Level 1, Assassination Apprentice]

[Skill: On the Brink of Life and Death. It can double your agility for five minutes, but you'll be weak all over and have difficulty moving for half an hour after the five - minute period.]

[Sequence Level 2, Swift Assassin]

[Skill: On the Brink of Life and Death (Enhanced). It can double your agility and strength for five minutes, but you'll be weak all over and have difficulty moving for twenty minutes after the five - minute period.]

Qin Siyang looked at the [Phantom Assassin] sequence and found that his [Violence] skill completely encompassed the skills of both Sequence Level 1 and Sequence Level 2, allowing him to blend in for a while.

So, he carefully read the skill description of this sequence over and over again and memorized it firmly.

To learn more about this sequence, he searched for it on the forum, and thousands of posts popped up immediately.

It seemed that this was also a relatively common sequence.

[What kind of equipment does the Phantom Assassin sequence need the most?]

[Who is the best teammate for a Phantom Assassin?]

[My teammate, a Phantom Assassin, is useless. He only uses his skills to run away during battles. What should I do?]

[Phantom Assassin looking for a god - hunting team. Teams with warriors are preferred.]

...

Qin Siyang clicked on an [Essential Introduction to the Phantom Assassin] post to read.

It described how a Phantom Assassin should train themselves, how to make reasonable use of the resources provided by the administration bureau, and how to purchase the most suitable equipment for themselves.

In this post, Qin Siyang learned a lot and also found out that the third level of the [Swift Assassin] sequence was [Afterimage Assassin].

[Skill: On the Brink of Life and Death (Enhanced 2). It can triple your agility and double your strength for ten minutes, but you'll be weak all over and have difficulty moving for ten minutes after the ten - minute period.]

From this post, Qin Siyang also learned that, different from most sequences, which gain new skills every time they level up, all currently known [Phantom Assassins] have only one skill, which is continuously enhanced as they level up.

Qin Siyang couldn't really say whether this single - line promotion method was good or bad. It had its pros and cons.

If they couldn't defeat the enemy after using their skills, they would have a hard time surviving.

Undoubtedly, [Phantom Assassins] were very reliant on their teammates.

This skill was suitable for Qin Siyang to hide his true identity.

The [Violence] skill completely covered the skills of the first three levels of the [Swift Assassin] sequence.

So, to play the role of the [Swift Assassin] sequence well, he needed to pretend to be weaker appropriately.

By carefully comparing the [God - Eater] and the [Swift Assassin] sequences, Qin Siyang also realized the power of his own sequence.

Although [Violence] was a skill awakened at Level 2, it was more powerful than the continuously - enhanced single skill of the [Swift Assassin].

Moreover, according to his research on the forum, his basic attributes were already comparable to, or even stronger than, those of a [Phantom Assassin] using the [On the Brink of Life and Death] skill.

Even without using any skills, he could be invincible among low - level sequence ability users!

So, how could he play the false identity of [Phantom Assassin] well?

The most important trick was to hold back as much as possible.

After finding his "substitute" sequence, Qin Siyang received a prompt that his computer time was up.

After exchanging a glance with the attendant at the bar, he logged off the computer and left the Internet café under the attendant's gaze.

Avoiding the camera at the entrance of the Internet café by taking a detour, Qin Siyang followed the message from the attendant and came to the alley behind the Internet café.

The alley behind the Internet café was outside the management scope of the Internet café owner, so there were no cameras.

This alley was more like an unattended area.

It was a bit dirty and messy, filled with sundries and disposable lunch boxes. There was a smell of swill wafting in the air, which seemed a bit similar to the smell in the cafeteria.

In this small alley, Qin Siyang could hardly find a place to stand. Finally, he wiped a stone slab clean and placed it on the greasy steps, then sat down.

After waiting idly for three or four hours, the lights in the Internet café finally went out.

He felt that if he waited any longer, he would be soaked in the smell of swill.

After a while, the greasy - faced middle - aged attendant, wearing a white shirt and shaking his flabby body, with a coat slung over his shoulder, appeared in the narrow alley.

The attendant didn't care about the garbage on the ground at all. As he walked, he casually kicked the trash away, getting some grease on his shoes.

Qin Siyang looked at the collar and cuffs of his shirt, which were yellowed with sweat stains, and felt disgusted.

The attendant, on the other hand, looked at Qin Siyang greedily.

"Kid, the police were looking for you because you killed someone, right?"

This opening line hit the nail on the head with Qin Siyang's concerns.

Qin Siyang didn't answer.

He thought that the news of the murder near Exit [X4] yesterday shouldn't have spread to such a remote place overnight. Needless to say, the attendant must have guessed it.

So, there was no need for him to admit it.

The attendant gave a sly smile. "Even if you don't say it, I know. You were checking the sequence ability users' forum last time you came, and you're doing it again this time."

The attendant brought up the question that had been bothering Qin Siyang, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Can you remember everyone?"

"Of course I can't. I'm not a sequence ability user with a memory skill."

"Just remember me?" Qin Siyang wondered why he was so unlucky to be targeted by this fat and greasy attendant.

"Because you look like a poor guy from the edge of the safe zone. It's strange that you'd spend money to come to the Internet café, so of course I was curious and took a few extra looks. And you were wearing the same coat both times, so I remembered you. Also, out of curiosity about you, I'd check what you were doing every time you turned on the computer."

"After you browsed the forum, you spent a long time on the [Undying] and [Fragrance Sniffer] sequences. Most of the sequence ability users with these two sequences work for the police station to solve cases. I originally thought you had awakened a similar sequence ability and were looking up information."

"Then, the police suddenly showed up. You quickly deleted your browsing history and opened a text document on the desktop, pretending to read an e - book. I immediately guessed that you must have killed someone and were checking here to see if you'd be discovered by the sequence ability users at the police station."

The attendant's fat face trembled with excitement, as if celebrating his great discovery through his sharp observation.

Qin Siyang still didn't give any response.

He wouldn't give any answer to all the speculations about himself, even if the attendant's guesses were all correct.

Don't let your enemy see through your thoughts.

Qin Siyang couldn't remember which movie from his previous life he had heard this line in, but it was exactly his current strategy.

He would definitely not provide this attendant with any more information about himself.

Qin Siyang silently stared at the attendant, waiting for him to say what was next.

The attendant seemed a bit surprised that Qin Siyang didn't react. This seventeen - or eighteen - year - old boy seemed to have a temperament that didn't match his age.

But he wasn't panicked because he still held the initiative firmly in his hands.

"It's simple why I called you out. I won't tell others about your business, but you have to give me a silver coin as hush money."

Qin Siyang gave a cold laugh and stared sharply at the attendant. "A silver coin? Are you crazy?"

The attendant was intimidated by Qin Siyang's gaze. The murderous look in his smile couldn't be faked.

This seventeen - or eighteen - year - old young man must have really killed someone!

He swallowed hard and said stubbornly, "I'm not crazy. A silver coin is the money to save your life. It's worth it. Anyway, you're a murderer. There's nothing you're afraid to do."

The attendant seemed to have found some confidence and got more and more excited. "I don't care how you get it, steal, rob, or kill. As long as you can get a silver coin for me, it's enough."

Qin Siyang just looked at the attendant indifferently as he rambled on, as if watching a joke about someone unrelated to him.

The attendant felt as if he was being stared at by a tiger and shivered all over.

But then he laughed again. "You can't scare me. We're all just ordinary people living in this shabby place for a lifetime. Who's better than who?"

Huh?

It seemed that this attendant didn't realize that Qin Siyang was a sequence ability user.

This was a small piece of good news in the midst of all the troubles.

Qin Siyang didn't let the attendant's questions lead him astray. He keenly noticed that the attendant's breathing was getting heavier, which meant he was very nervous.

So, Qin Siyang continued to put pressure on him and asked the question in his mind, "Since you know I killed someone, why aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

The attendant wiped the cold sweat from his face with his hand and said, "I've written an email about reporting you and attached a close - up photo of you from the surveillance. This email will be sent to the police station's email at three o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll reset the time every day, delaying it by one day. If I die, you'll be exposed."

As if to make Qin Siyang believe him, the attendant added, "If you don't believe me, you can try! Kill me right now!"

The timed - sent email was like a time bomb, forcing Qin Siyang to take it seriously.

The attendant's method had tied his hands and feet, preventing him from taking action against the attendant rashly.

"You have to give me a thousand copper coins before next week! Otherwise, I'll tell the police station about you!"

The attendant grinned smugly, showing his somewhat missing and yellowed teeth.

After hearing this, Qin Siyang didn't respond and turned around to leave the alley.

The attendant watched Qin Siyang's departing back, snorted, and showed a disdainful smile.

So what if you've killed someone? You'll still obediently bring me the money!

Kid, I'll hold this secret over you for the rest of your life! Work hard. I'm counting on you to buy me a house and a car!

Suddenly, the attendant remembered that he didn't know Qin Siyang's name.

"By the way, my name is Liu Dazhi! What's your name?"

Qin Siyang continued to walk back silently, still not answering.

A dead man doesn't need to know his name.
