MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information Chapter 48 – Great Riot of Ledda City

In Ledda City, the Earth players had just experienced a catastrophe caused by the combined offensive of the Exotic Beasts and kings.

Broken buildings and countless collapsed houses filled the entire city.

On the streets, countless corpses of people from both Earth and Miracle lay hauntingly still.

However, only a small number of Extoic Beast remains could be seen.

Fike was currently not far from the main city area.

He was prepared to hand over the Era Jade he had found in the Heavenly Palace over to Bert.

Thinking about the first King-tier equipment from the primordial era that was about to descend, he was excited. However, a slight unease also mingled in his heart.

Smoke rose in front of the city gates.

'How… How did this happen?'

Fike noticed the countless severed heads hanging on a mast above the city gates. He recalled that these heads seemed to belong to the natives of Miracle that resided in Ledda City.

They were people from Miracle.

Among them were servants of the Heavenly King's Palace.

There were also peddlers who operated small businesses by themselves in the city.

There were even many old and young, women and children.

Fike stared at the scene before him in horror. He could not believe his eyes.

He could not fathom what these people had been killed for.

'Even if it had been the Exotic Beasts… how could this scene have been caused? It's clear that someone had deliberately beheaded them…

'Could it have been someone from the Heavenly King's Palace?'

Fike walked silently into the city with a heavy heart.

The main streets of the city were sparsely populated, with only countless corpses littered around.

Looking at the countless human corpses that had been sacrificed and the diminutive number of alien corpses that paled in comparison, he instinctively drew a sharp breath.

Suddenly, a group of Earthlings fighting over the remains of a beast appeared before his eyes.

Fike hurriedly stepped forward. He stopped one of the young men and asked, “May I ask what happened in Ledda City? Where did everyone go?”

The young man grinned as he looked at Fike's attire.

“You just revived not long ago, right? I can tell you that although Ledda city was besieged by Exotic Beasts and betrayed by the Heavenly Palace, we Earth people cannot be defeated. Do you understand?”

Fike blinked at the proud young man before continuing to ask.

“When I entered the city just now, I saw the heads of many Miracle natives who used to live here hanging on the city gate. What's going on?”

“Young man, one look and I can tell that you've been dead for too long. You don't know anything, do you? If it hadn't been for the Heavenly King's Palace and that damn Overlord-tier Exotic Beast sending airships to bombard Ledda City, how could we Earth people have suffered such heavy casualties?

“Fortunately, our demon hunter, Mike, killed that evil beast, which ended this crisis. As for these Miracle people… They betrayed us. Don't they deserve to die?

“Just now, we executed a spy left behind by the Heavenly King's Palace. Did you know? It turns out that the demon hunter Mike is the same person who sold the black-striped grass and raw meat before!”

Fike looked at the young man in embarrassment.

“Oh, is that so?”

“I see that you have just come to your senses. Then, I'll give you another piece of good news. The Miracle criminals are being executed in Ledda Square. Did you know that we have a master blacksmith here?”

“It's Mr. Bert, right?”

“Hmm, not bad. Looks like this young man has been here before. Hurry up and get to Ledda Square. The good stuff of that old man Bert is all there. If we head there now, we may even be able to pick up one or two treasures!”

Hearing the young man's words, Fike's heart became restless.

Even if the Exotic Beasts and the kings were the ones who had started this war, those Miracle natives who had never participated in the war were innocent.

Fike rushed to Ledda Square without stopping. The scene he witnessed once again rocked his world.

In the middle of the square, a huge arena had been erected out of nowhere.

The floor of the arena had long since been dyed crimson by the blood of countless bodies. Scattered around were an endless number of corpses and heads, and even young girls who had been tortured to death.

On the stage, a few Earth people dressed in simple clothes were trampling on the Miracle workers who were awaiting execution.

They casually slapped them in the face, ejecting spit and teeth from their mouths. A cacophony of curses filled the entire square.

“The next person to be executed is the proud son of heaven from our own Tailun Academy, Freddy!”

Fike witnessed the once proud son of heaven being tied up on an execution rack in the arena. His once dignified expression had completely vanished from his face.

As Freddy's neck was forced into the groove of the rack, his face was as dead as ash.

“I remember that this kid was very eager to join the Heavenly King Hall!”

“That's right. These kinds of god-like scum should die a horrible death!”

The crowd of Earthlings below the arena wantonly insulted Freddy.

Looking at the Earth people who thought themselves so righteous, Fike suddenly felt nauseous.

In the past, even as he had faced Exotic Beasts, regardless of how bloody the situation had been, he had never felt this sick to his bones before.

He recalled the various methods his Earth compatriots had used when they dealt with him. Compared to the scene unfolding before him, they were nothing.

“Freddy's crime is unforgivable. The time has come. Execute him!”

The executioner on the stage raised the machete in his hand before plunging it down swiftly. In an instant, Freddy's head was separated from his body, and blood splattered onto the stage, bathing red with red.

The Earth people below applauded, some cheering, as others shouted praises.

Everyone was celebrating the reckoning of these Miracle natives, gorging themselves on senseless violence.

Fike could no longer endure this meaningless bloodbath, but he did not leave. He did not know if Burt would be executed next, or if he already had been.

Even if he was not dead yet, how could he save Burt in front of everyone?

In fact, right before arriving at the square, Fike had already quickly visited Burt's workshop.

The place was empty, no trace of the weapons and equipment the master craftsman had made left behind.

There was nothing there except the blood on the ground.

Fike had abruptly noticed a familiar face. It was Burt's maid, lying still on the ground.

He hurried over.

He noticed that the maid still seemed to be alive. Her clothes were in tatters, and the bloodstains on her body dyed her once pale clothes red.

“Hey… Do you remember me?”

The maid slightly opened her red and swollen eyes.

“Kill me if you want!”

The maid spat with the last bits of rationality left in her, determined to preserve the last of her dignity.

“Don't you remember me? I'm Mike!”

Quickly using the mind transfer technique, he reverted to his original appearance of Mike.

“Mike… is it really you?”
