Chapter 181: Weakness is the Original Sin
Late at night, a silent and uninhabited park.
The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and two figures rushed into the park in panic, looking back in horror as they ran.
"Damn! Who the hell is that guy? Attack us for no reason!" Qiu Mingtao gasped, his right hand tightly covering his waist, red blood slowly oozing out from between his fingers.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and escape!"
Zhang Huai's face was pale, a deep wound on his right arm that could be seen was visible, and the sharp pain made the corners of his eyes twitch constantly, but he didn't dare to slow down his pace by half a minute, lest he be caught up by that terrible guy.
Tonight, the members of their Blue Cross gathered for a long time to discuss the disappearance of the Captain's Veil, but suddenly someone broke in and went on a killing spree.
There were more than a dozen warrior-level players present, but they were not that person's opponent at all, and most of them were killed like a devastation in a blink of an eye, leaving only the two of them to flee in panic, and finally got rid of the enemy.
"Most of them are the enemies that the team has provoked before. Zhang Huai said in a low voice.
When the two captains were still there, the Blue Cross acted arrogantly and arrogantly, which offended a lot of people, and it was not surprising that someone would fall into the trap and take revenge while the Blue Cross was in trouble.
It's just that the opponent's toughness is a little beyond their expectations, and it is definitely elite-level.
Hearing this, Qiu Mingtao gritted his teeth for a while, but he didn't refute it.
At this time, a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the air.
As soon as they heard this voice, Zhang Huai and Qiu Mingtao's hairs stood on end, and they didn't think about it, they immediately threw themselves forward, narrowly avoiding two cold rays of light that swept over their heads.
In the next second, I heard a small click, and two cold lights hit the stone chair not far away at the same time, and when I looked at it, it was two scalpels with cold flashes.
The hard stone seemed as fragile as tofu under the scalpel, and the blade sank deep into the wall of the chair, leaving only the handle to tremble slightly.
After dodging the attack, Zhang Huai and Qiu Mingtao immediately jumped up from the ground and looked at the exit of the park with frightened expressions, where a man appeared at some point.
The man was wearing a black trench coat, about thirty to forty years old, his skin was obviously a little abnormal compared to ordinary people, and the whole person's body was very thin, looking weak, but Zhang Huai, who had seen him slaughter his teammates, deeply understood what terrifying power was hidden in this seemingly thin body in front of him.
And the most palpitating thing is his pair of deep eyes, which contain extremely cold killing intent like ice, shooting straight at Zhang Huai and Qiu Mingtao like sharp arrows.
When they met the gaze of the man in the trench coat, the two of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the gurgling sound was clearly audible in the silent night.
After a while, Zhang Huai was the first to break the silence and said very quickly:
"Friend, if we have something to say, if we have offended you in the past, we might as well say it, we can make amends, and even pay you points, no problem, there is no need to kill them all, right?"
Qiu Mingtao on the side nodded again and again, looking at the man in the trench coat with a look of flattery and pleading.
Truly facing the elite level, he knew the horror of players of this level, not to mention that the man in front of him who was chasing them was several points stronger than the captain of the curtain.
"Points, I don't need anything like that!"
To the surprise of the two, the man in the trench coat said indifferently with an expressionless face, "There is no grudge between me and the Blue Cross, and you. ”
Zhang Huai and Qiu Mingtao were stunned for a moment, and Qiu Mingtao directly said angrily: "Then why are you chasing and killing us?"
"Need a reason? Weakness is the original sin, and incompetent wastes like you deserve to be called players?"
"No waste is allowed in my hunting grounds, so I'm going to let you die. ”
"Just because of this inexplicable reason, you killed so many people?" Zhang Huai glared at the man in the trench coat in disbelief, this guy was simply crazy.
"It seems that you can't understand it, too, otherwise how can it be called a waste. ”
The corners of the trench coat's mouth turned upward, revealing a cold and arrogant smile.
"The hunt continues, and if you don't want to die, struggle and resist with all your might!"
When the words fell, he flicked his ten fingers lightly, and eight scalpels flashing with sharp cold light flashed between his fingers, and at the same time, he kicked his feet, leaned forward slightly, and the whole person had pounced like a vicious wolf, rushing towards Zhang Huai and the others.
"I'll fight with you!"
Seeing this, Qiu Mingtao couldn't hold back his fear anymore, shouted like giving up on himself, and killed the man in the trench coat head-on.
With a pop, a bright blood flower bloomed in the dark night.
"I mean seriously, when I've been patrolling at night lately, I've seen owls a lot in the neighborhood. ”
"Nonsense, how can there be owls in the community!"
"That's it, I think you've drunk too much and you're starting to hallucinate. ”
When Lin Ze passed by the gate of the community, he happened to hear the conversation of several security guards, and a strange look flashed on his face.
He took out the key to open the door, and at first glance he saw Lin curled up on the sofa, munching on potato chips with relish while watching a variety show on TV.
"Looks like you're familiar with life here. ”
Lin looked back, with a smile on her face, shook the bag of potato chips in her hand, and said with a smile: "This thing called potato chips is very delicious, do you want to have some?"
"No need. ”
Lin Ze waved his hand, sat down on the sofa, and asked casually, "You sent out the owls in the community." ”
Lin nodded: "Yes, after all, it's where I live, and I have to ensure the safety of this neighborhood, so let my little cuties work hard and monitor the entire community." ”
After a pause, she asked, "But how do you know?"
Lin Ze repeated the conversation of the security guard at the door.
"I see, I was negligent, it seems that owls are not common creatures in the community. Lin patted her forehead, "When I was on Siyao Island, owls were everywhere, and a few of them would not attract attention, which was also different between the two worlds. ”
"Not only in the community, but also in the city, owls are a rare animal to see in daily life. ”
"Understood, I'll do some disguise later. ”
Speaking of this, Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, and put her finger against her chin and said, "Speaking of which, I found a resident in the community who is also a player like you. ”
"Oh?" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, interested, "Who is it?"
"A girl. ”
"How did you find out?"
"At first, it was just a gut feeling, and I always felt that she had an aura similar to yours, so I paid more attention to it, and it turned out that she often ran out at night, and occasionally came back with blood stains on her body, and out of curiosity, I followed her a few times, and once I saw her dealing with an ugly monster, that is the monster in your mouth, right?"
Because he wanted Lin to help search for monsters, Lin Ze explained to her the existence of monsters and the player's affairs very early.
"It's supposed to be a monster, right, what's that person's name, where does he live?"
"I live in Building 7 in 1905. Lynn replied.
Lin Ze was slightly stunned, feeling that this house number seemed to be a little familiar, and the next moment he heard Lin continue: "The name is Zhou Ning." ”
Zhou Ning?
Lin Ze was stunned, and then remembered that 1905 was the apartment where Zhou Ning lived, and he had gone there with Li Kaixin to hunt monsters before.
"It seems that staying on Siyao Island for 100 days in a row still has some impact, and many memories are a little blurry, and I didn't remember in advance that Zhou Ning also lives in the same community. Lin Ze knocked on his temple.
"What? do you know that man?" Lynn was keenly aware of the strangeness in his demeanor.
"Acquaintances, but not acquaintances. Lin Ze waved his hand and skipped the topic, "Now that you are familiar with the real world, you can start searching for monsters next." ”
"Well, I knew you came today to urge me to work. ”
Lynn put down the bag of chips in her hand and straightened up from the couch.
"It's just looking for anomalies in the city through the Internet first, and then investigating on the spot, right?"
Lin Ze nodded, this was the most suitable method he thought of, Lin had the assistance of an owl, as long as he was familiar with the road conditions in the city, it was not difficult to do a multi-line investigation at the same time, with her help, it would be much more efficient to search for monsters by himself, and he finally didn't have to rely on himself to search aimlessly.
"It just so happens that I've recently summoned a lot of scouting cuties, which should be enough. Lynn snapped her fingers, and immediately heard the flapping of her wings, and an owl about twenty centimeters tall flew in through the window and landed on her shoulder.
Lin Ze glanced at it and knew that this was an owl in the form of a scout, and its eyesight and flight speed were far beyond that of ordinary owls in reality.
There are also suit-shaped and miniature owls, the former is not mentioned, and the latter is a palm-sized, highly spiritual little owl, which is usually used by Lynn as a communication tool.
However, there are mobile phones that can be used in the real world, so this form is not very useful.
And the last one is the spirit form, according to Lin herself, it is the most powerful of the four forms, and it is also her hole card, which can make her have good combat power when cast.
However, the consumption is not small, and it is easy not to use.
"After discovering a monster, if it's a low-level monster, you can kill it yourself, and if it's an intermediate monster, it's best to contact me to deal with it together. ”
For monsters killed by summoned creatures, the points naturally belong to the summoner.
And Lin's strength has surpassed that of ordinary elite-level players, and it is not a problem to deal with lower-level monsters alone, but there are many tricky existences among middle-level monsters, just in case, Lin Ze still thinks that it is more appropriate for him and Lin to join forces to deal with it.
After all, summons transformed from plot characters like Lynn are the same as players, and if they die in reality, they are really dead.
Be careful!
