It was still three in the afternoon, in the parking lot outside the community shopping center.
It was the peak hour of shopping, so there were many cars in the parking lot and many people going in and out of the shopping center.
And in this crowd, there was a “child” who was about 1.7 meters tall and had a resolute face. He seemed to be looking for something …
“Strange … Where is he?” Brother Dragon arrived at the meeting point on time, but he did not see seven kills anywhere.”Could it be that he’s too short … And I missed him?”
He mumbled as he wandered around the parking lot, looking around.
Suddenly …
“Hey! We’re here!” Someone shouted at long Aomin.
“What?” Brother Loong recognized the voice as his teammate ‘s, but when he turned around, he didn’t see the person who spoke.
“Here!” The voice repeated urgently.
Brother long then realized that the voice came from under a car.
Thus, long Aomin went to the car and squatted down.””I mean … Are you two playing hide-and-seek?”
“In a sense …” Seven kills narrowed his eyes and replied,”that’s right …”
“Of course … If we’re really playing hide-and-seek, you’ll definitely think of it as a ghost with your current body size,” tan lang, who was lying beside him, also said.
“Although you guys are sincerely lying there and talking nonsense with me, I have no interest in coming down to accompany you.” Brother Long’s mouth twitched as he replied,”so … Can you explain the current situation?”
“Isn’t the situation obvious …” Tan lang was about to start explaining, but he heard …
[Sub mission updated] the system prompt sounded.
The next second, the three of them instinctively opened the game menu and looked at the mission bar. They found that the mission [find a way to meet up with your teammates] had been crossed out, and a follow-up message appeared below: [Enter Dracula’s castle]
“Well …” Two seconds later, ravenous Wolf said,”although our Captain is dead, Hell’s frontline has also exhausted the powerful summoned creature, the bloody zombie God. Furthermore, the difficulty of this side mission will also decrease as the number of people decreases. It’s not a loss …”
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about …” Brother long looked at him and said,”can you come out from under the car and start from the beginning?”
In the next five minutes, ravenous Wolf, seven kills, and long Aomin squatted beside the car and conversed sneakily.
Tan lang told him about his encounter with po Jun. After that … Seven kills followed the sound of the explosion to the basketball court and met tan lang, who had died and escaped.
“To sum it up …” Tan lang said a long paragraph before he concluded,”we know that … In this scenario, even the abilities of Summoners and mechanics will be affected. The summoned creatures did not seem to have been weakened, but their duration had been reduced by at least half.”Additionally … The effects of our weapons, armors, items, and so on will also be reduced …”
“Hmm … I understand that you can summon creatures …” Brother Dragon said thoughtfully.”If it wasn’t for the fact that the bloody zombie God’s time limit has been greatly reduced, you would have been dead by now …” He paused.”However, the abilities of mechanics and the special effects of items will be weakened … How did you know that?”
“Before I encountered the bloody zombie God, I drank a large amount of Life Points recovery potion. At that time, my HP was full, so I didn’t care. ” Tan lang explained without thinking,”however, when po Jun threw the [singularity grenade], I felt that something was wrong … The effective radius of the grenade was obviously smaller than usual. It’s just that … The situation at the time didn’t allow me to think about it in detail. ” He pointed at the backpack that was slung over his body.”After the battle, when I used the special item to recover my spiritual energy, I confirmed that … Even the effect of the item is affected by the scenario’s setting.”
“Oh … I see.” Long Aomin nodded and fell silent for a moment. He tried to sort out and digest the information he had.
At this moment …
“Hey, kids, what are you doing next to my car?” A man’s voice was heard.”Are you trying to play a prank?”
The three of them turned their heads and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, about 35 years old, holding a shopping bag.
“Get lost, you little bastard.” When the man in the suit put the shopping bag in his hand into the back seat of the car, he was already driving the three blades away with vulgarities.
“Sir, this parking space seems to be reserved for the disabled.” Ravenous Wolf looked up and sized up the other party, and probed.
“So what?” The man in the suit took two steps forward and shouted at them with a disdainful look and a gesture as if he was shooing flies,”don’t f * cking meddle in my business. I’m just stopping here. What can you do?”
Before he could finish, long Aomin … Stood up.
Although the man in the suit was also 1.7 meters tall, slightly taller than brother long, brother Long’s face was enough to make up for the 15-centimeter difference in height.
“What are you doing? Kid, I advise you not to look for trouble!” The man in the suit was still intimidating the three “children” in front of him.
“Looking for trouble?” Long Aomin repeated those words in a profound tone and then laughed coldly.”Hmph … I’m sorry, I’m a police officer.”
15 minutes later …
On a certain road leading to dark Stream Road.
A Volvo with more than a decade of debt that had not been paid off was driving on the road.
Tan lang and seven kills sat in the back seats of the car, enjoying the air conditioner and eating the snacks that were on the shopping mall shelves not long ago.
Long Aomin, on the other hand, was sitting in the front passenger’s seat with his arms crossed. He was looking straight ahead with a serious expression.
“I’m warning you, my uncle is a lawyer …” The man in a suit in the driver’s seat tried to control the situation with his words as he drove.”If you get out of the car now, I can pretend that nothing happened, otherwise …”
“Listen up, you scumbag.” Long Aomin slapped him and interrupted him without turning his head.”I’m warning you too … We hate scum like you who corrupt society. If you don’t shut up, I’ll let you use a disabled parking space in your next life. ”
…………
At fouro’ clock in the afternoon, somewhere in the community.
“Ha! I’ve finally met you guys!” Xiao Tan, who was walking down the street with the four boys, happened to run into Xiao Ling and RUO Yu.
The four children were all members of The Monster Club. Other than Sean and Horace, the other two were also children in their teens.
“Oh, oh, oh.” Before the two players could reply, Sean and the others turned around and used three polite words on Xiao Tan.”Buddy, are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Do you want to play with the girls?”
“Er …” Xiao Tan was an honest man, so he did not think there was anything wrong with that, so he replied,”yes, we play together often.”
“What?” The boys were shocked.
“Alright, it seems like there’s a huge misunderstanding here …”
Wang, I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to leave our club.”
“We don’t deal with girls, and we don’t play with those kids who deal with girls.”
“Didn’t you notice the words ‘NO GIRLS’ at the entrance of the treehouse?”
They started to talk among themselves as they backed away from Xiao Tan.
“Ha?” Seeing this, Xiao Tan still did not know how to react. After a few seconds, he said,”huh?”
“Don ‘t’ haha ‘me, even I know that … Most boys are not friendly to girls before middle school.” At this time, Xiao Ling had already walked to Xiao Tan’s side. She shook her head and mumbled,”
“Is there such a thing?” Xiao Tan added with a confused expression.
“You really don’t know?” Little Ling asked.
“Hmm …” Xiao Tan replied.”Actually … I didn’t have a good relationship with boys and girls when I was young … The only one I had a good relationship with was …”
“Your childhood has been ruined because of your carelessness in making friends. My condolences.” RUO Yu, who was standing on the other side, didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. She had already given an irrefutable conclusion.
“Wang, it seems like you have a lot to talk about with the girls. We’ll take our leave.” Sean, who had already retreated a few meters away, said.
“When you’ve cut off all ties with the ladies, you might be able to join our club.” Horace continued.
The few of them talked and walked around the three players, leaving on their own.
After they walked away, little Ling asked,”Alright … Back to the main topic. Have you made any progress in the past six hours?”
“There is.” Xiao Tan replied,”I had someone translate fan Haixin’s diary …” Then, he took out a piece of paper from his inventory.”I also copied down the ‘incantation’ part, the kind with a sound marker.” He looked quite proud.”Next, we just need to find a Virgin and we can complete the ceremony in the opening CG.” As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something.”Eh? By the way, do you count as one now?” He touched his chin and said,”logically speaking, you were before you met me … But you weren’t after that … But if you were to shrink to ten years old …”
Bang!
A gunshot was heard and a white light appeared.
Little Ling pulled out the gun, aimed, and fired … The entire process was done in one go. Within a second, the bullet from the pistol had pierced through Xiao Tan’s temple. It was a headshot.
“Ah … Ah … I got the incantation …” Ling pulled the paper away from the corpse’s hand with a black face.”I also got rid of an idiot for the world. How delightful.”
This scene caused the audience watching the competition to fall into a state of short-circuit.
Without a doubt, this was the first time a teammate had been deliberately killed in S2 …
Although there had been cases of accidental injury or even accidental death (mostly caused by indiscriminate skills), this kind of intentional attack … Not to mention the motive of the murderer … If it were others, even if they wanted to do it, they couldn ‘t.
Technically speaking, Ling shouldn’t be able to launch a deliberate attack on her teammates, but … She had done it.
Then … Based on the established facts, there were only two assumptions that could be made: First, the person who fired the shot wasn’t Ling, but someone else. Secondly, Xiao Ling had somehow broken through to [limit breaking], thereby allowing her to kill him.
…………
At the same time, in the treehouse of The Monster Club.
“That d * mned son of a B * tch. When I get this chip, I’ll teach you a lesson …” Hill hit the entrance of the treehouse with his elbow while cursing brother Jue.
Of course, even though he said that, he did not dare to neglect what was happening at the moment. Before he left the old house on dark Creek Road, Feng bujue had given him more than ten ‘delayed-trigger’ s.
What was a ‘delayed trigger’? Brother Jue’s explanation was that there would not be any reaction when he heard it, but after a certain period of time, the chip’s effect would be triggered.
At first, Hill did not believe that there was such a ridiculous ‘high-tech’, but Feng bujue immediately said,””Actually, twenty minutes ago, I already said a delayed vocabulary to you. Looking at the time … It should be about time for it to take effect.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hill fell to the ground in pain as if he had been electrocuted …
After getting up from the ground, Hill had no choice but to believe it.
After that, Feng bujue gave Hill some specific clues to get him to find the location of vanshein’s diary and told him,”[If you don’t return within four hours, the following delayed vocabulary will torture you into shock.] After saying that, he said “skin infection” a dozen times, then continued,”if you come back with the diary, I’ll remove the chip for you immediately.”
“And so … We have seen this scene.
“Dammit! You should die!” Hill elbowed the wooden board at the entrance of the treehouse like it was Feng bujue’s face.
When his arm started to go numb, the lock at the entrance finally broke.
“Tsk … Little wimp’s treehouse … And it’s so tightly locked …” Hill swung his arms and complained. He then climbed into the treehouse.
He was quite lucky to find fan Haixin’s diary here.
Because the book itself was huge and heavy, and the children couldn’t understand the German written on it directly, they didn’t bring it with them and left it in the treehouse.
Following brother Jue’s description, Hill soon found the diary on a low table in the corner of the treehouse.
“What the hell is this?” Out of curiosity, Hill opened it and took a look.
Unfortunately … He was not even a child. He could not even tell which country the words in the diary were from … The only things he could understand were some illustrations.
“What a mess …” Hill soon lost his patience. He muttered softly and was about to leave the treehouse.
However, just as he turned around, a “cunning” thought flashed through his mind, causing him to form a plan …
