Chapter 875 The Death of Grey?

Under the red moon.

Everything in the city was shrouded in a veil of crimson.

In this dilapidated and eerie city, a blond boy dressed in clean clothes sits on the edge of a building's rooftop.

This scene sent chills down the spines of Gray and the others.

"Is he...is he even human?"

At the top of the clock tower, Toby hid behind Gray, not daring to look at the little boy even once.

Outside the city, he was nearly torn to pieces after staring at the red-haired creature for just over seven seconds.

Now, Toby's intuition tells him that this clean-cut little boy is a million times more terrifying than that red-haired monster!

He didn't want to be targeted by this thing.

What Toby could think of, Gray, Elise, and other high-level players naturally knew as well.

In this eerie, nightmare-level dungeon, they really didn't want to provoke a creature of unknown origin if they could.

But......

They had been searching the city for a long time, but their map exploration progress hadn't improved at all.

The little boy in front of them is very likely the key to breaking their deadlock!

"Jade Emperor." Gray took a deep breath, turned to Lin Hui, and asked, "You said you obtained documents from the police station. Could we take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Iris, Blue Fox, and the others all turned their gazes toward Lin Hui.

"No problem." Lin Hui nodded, then flipped his wrist and took out the document recording the bizarre deaths in Iris Street.

Gray took the document and began to read it carefully.

Although this top-secret document was not completely destroyed because it was sealed in a safe, the writing on it has peeled off a lot due to its age, making it appear fragmented.

Even so, Gray still managed to glean the phrase "little boy in white" from the vague text.

After reading it, Gray frowned and handed the document to Iris and the others next to him for further reading.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the little boy sitting on the edge of the rooftop, several hundred meters away.

The little boy kept his head down, staring blankly at the street below.

He showed no reaction to the group of players spying on him, as if he didn't care at all.

"Everyone," Gray said in a low voice, analyzing the situation.

"The wording in the investigation report is always extremely precise. Since the official files specifically mention the 'little boy in white,' it means he is connected to the case."

"I have two guesses about this."

"First, the dungeon description states that the anomalies began to resurface on the day the Red Moon appeared. This little boy in front of us is very likely one of the first anomalies to resurface! And the massacre of a hundred people on the first night in Iris Flower District was caused by his own hands!"

"Secondly, the little boy was also one of the victims of that tragic death. But for some inexplicable reason, he came back to life and is trapped here forever."

Leo, the young man in the baseball cap, said with a serious expression, "Regardless of the possibility, it shows that this little boy is extremely dangerous. What should we do now?"

The voluptuous and sexy Mara bit her red lips and suggested:

"Should we try to communicate with him first? If he retains human reason and can speak, we might be able to get some information out of him directly."

Some of the people were intrigued by this suggestion.

Everyone knew that simply standing on the clock tower like this wasn't a solution.

The exploration progress of Nightmare-level dungeons will not increase on its own; only by taking proactive action can you continue to break through the current limitations.

Moreover, the little boy has a human appearance and is the first seemingly intelligent creature the group encounters in this instance.

But......

Who will ask?

Nobody wants to take that risk!

In this delicate atmosphere, Gray, the temporary captain, sighed.

"I'll give it a try!"

"Mr. Gray, be careful!" Mara glanced at the responsible middle-aged man.

Lin Hui nodded slightly. "If they make a move, I will help you."

Upon hearing Lin Hui's words, Blue Fox, Iris, and the baseball cap youth all drew their weapons, expressing their determination through their actions.

Now, they are partners in conquering this nightmare-level dungeon. Losing Gray, a high-ranking player with a ladder rating of 1502, is a huge loss for everyone.

Thank you everyone!

Gray nodded heavily, then slowly rose into the air and flew towards the red brick house.

He stopped in mid-air, about 300 meters away from the little boy.

This distance is enough for him to have time to react.

"Buzz!"

Gray unfurled a golden divine domain, which then contracted, condensing into a divine shield around his body.

This is one application of the divine realm.

It requires a strong control over the divine realm.

Generally speaking, players at the peak of level 7 will master it.

After doing all that, Gray looked up and gazed at the little boy not far away.

He didn't rush to speak, but wanted to test a pattern first—look directly at the other person.

The red-haired creature will attack if it is stared at for more than 7 seconds, so what about this little boy?

1 second...

3 second...

6 second...

The people on the clock tower unconsciously held their breath, and Lin Hui also narrowed his eyes, ready to make a move at any moment.

7 seconds!

The seven-second limit has been crossed!

However, nothing happened.

The little boy kept his head down, dangling his legs, staring at the street.

10 seconds...20 seconds...60 seconds!

A full minute passed, and the little boy remained sitting there quietly, without attacking Gray.

"call......"

On the clock tower, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that staring at the little boy doesn't trigger the attack rules." Gray secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having reached this conclusion, he took a light breath and, facing the little boy, asked in a harmless tone:

"Little friend, what are you doing sitting here?"

The sound echoed through the empty street lined with crimson irises.

But the very moment Gray finished speaking...

"Bang!"

A muffled explosion suddenly erupted in mid-air without warning!

Gray's head, which was enveloped in a divine shield, exploded into a cloud of crimson blood mist without warning!

The headless corpse froze in mid-air for a moment, then, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted straight down into the ruins below.

Lin Hui: "???"

Iris: "!!!"

Blue Fox: "!!!"
