The Place Where Everything Begins

Chapter 91 - The Savior And The Killer (4)

Five minutes later, within the tutorial chamber...

Right now, almost 30 people stood beside the floating green Crystal silently and depressingly.

Strange enough, rather than cheering or shouting in glee for the reason that they would be leaving this place soon, they stood quietly in a depression instead.

The reason why everyone felt depressed right now was undoubtedly from the mission reporting earlier.

Initially, everyone thought they would be leaving this hellish tutorial at last. Unfortunately, only 17 people managed to complete the third Tutorial Mission, of which they needed one more person for that everyone could leave this place together.

However, the situation had finally come to this...

Come to the point that if the 17 people chose to teleport out of here, then the other 16 people would be left behind to fight the ninth wave of monsters in desperation.

That meant if they didn't teleport out of here soon enough, many people would be killed in the next horde before the rest could be teleported out successfully, as they didn't know how long it would take the teleporting process to be done.

When the situation came into a stalemate...

Most of them were racking their brains to find a way out of this fucking hell of a problem.

It was just one more...

One more person and everyone would be out of this shit together...

Everyone wanted to blame those whom fought timidly and didn't accomplish the third Tutorial Mission, but they were too depressed right now. So, they didn't have to mood to blame yet.

However, it was not long before the blames would find their sources...

That also meant those cowardly people also had less and less time to be leisurely before being bombarded by the mass' outrage.

Well, two of those such people were undoubtedly Claire and Angelo...

So...

"I... I think we should kill one of those wounded people..."

After the words were said, the atmosphere became even quieter and eerier than before...

How could someone suggest such a notion of killing their own kind?

Obviously, the one who had said those words was none other than Angelo, aka Greedy Pig, who had 'miraculously' survived until now.

Despite the fact that he fought like a coward most of the time, survive was still a survive...

That's why everyone's depressed eyes were shifted towards the speaker, Angelo, like they had agreed with one another beforehand.

A split second later...

"What the actual fuck are you spouting now? Kill one of the injured!? It seems like you indeed want a beating from this gentleman."

Eddie, who felt shocked from hearing those words at first, came back to his senses and shouted loudly towards Angelo, followed by a threat of beating up the latter for saying nonsense.

When Angle had heard such a threat, his back suddenly sweated bullets incessantly...

"No, no, no... I didn't mean that. I mean..." Angelo hurriedly said in return for fear of being beaten by the monster of a man.

"Mean what?" Eddie asked with a deep frown between his eyebrows, clearly unsatisfied with the fatty.

"How about we kill Benjamin?" Angle dropped an unexpected bomb in the middle of the crowd.

"..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became eery and quiet like before...

Afterward, as if having thought of something important, one by one, they turned to look at Eddie, whom kept quiet with his mouth absolutely shut right now.

Well, everyone more or less knew instinctively the hidden reason why Benjamin was in that half-dead state.

Actually, it was not hard to guess at all, for Benjamin was the murderer who killed Skylar. Then the sixth monsters' wave came, and Benjamin, whom was 'forced' by Eddie to fight at the formation's forefront for the entire wave as his punishment, was at death's door soon after.

Thus, some people had a doubt regarding the matter as when everyone wasn't paying attention, Eddie might have done something to Benjamin, causing the latter to be attacked by the vicious goblins.

But doubt was still just a doubt, as it was almost baseless, after all...

Furthermore, Eddie wasn't the one who directly harmed Benjamin; instead, it was Benjamin that harmed himself from battling with the goblins at that time.

So, everyone let the incident slide by without blaming or doubting Eddie on the matter.

Still, most eyes were now shifted to Eddie to see his reaction...

However, everyone's curiosity was cut short by a short sentence,

"I agree."

A woman's voice resounded out, attracting everyone's attention. So, the crowd shifted their attention towards her.

The woman was none other than Claire, the one who had always fought cowardly and hadn't finished the third Tutorial Mission despite fighting in the frontline ever since the third wave commenced.

On account of her original selfish behavior, together with being ostracized by everyone and then having tasted the sweet nectar of revenge from ostracizing people back firsthand, had made her feel everything was going well. Moreover, she had always thought she would be leaving here soon after the bloody battle ended.

But who would have thought that they needed one more person to pass the third tutorial mission to be able to leave this place, so she felt pissed off like hell...

Also, with the sudden thought that everyone might be aiming to blame her very soon because she hadn't passed the tutorial mission, she felt even more pissed off and depressed than before.

That's why when she had heard Angelo's proposal to kill Benjamin, her eyes lit up with newfound hope, and she agreed without thinking for long at all.

That's how her nature was anyway, selfish and self-centered...

At this time, when they saw a person had already expressed her opinion regarding killing Benjamin, everyone else also started murmuring to one another again.historical

Humans were such creatures of murmuring, for they could murmur anywhere they were...

Not long after, the atmosphere started becoming heater and heater with people letting out their opinion incessantly...

Then the heated murmuring became a mild argument...

Soon, the mild argument became more and more intense with each passing second...
