Chapter 268: Inner Demon (Star Landing City Chapter)

In the fighting ring, Zheng Ming stood with his chest crossed. As far as he could see, Lonai, who looked tired and sweating profusely, stood up with his body bracked up.

"Surrender. lest I lose my hand and kill you. Zheng Ming ignored the other party's question and said indifferently.

He wasn't ready to recognize his old friend. And speaking of which, he felt that the two sides had only known each other for a short period of time, and the friendship was not so deep that they had to deliberately look for each other in the past ten years.

"We're just passers-by in the trajectories of our lives." He thought.

Seeing Zheng Ming's reaction, the doubt in his eyes gradually converged, and he smiled bitterly when he heard the words.

"Heh, that's what I'm saying, how could someone who has been missing for so many years happen to meet ...... in the fighting arena?"

Zheng Ming didn't respond to the other party's whisper, he looked at Luo Nai, who had a serious expression on his face and once again put on a combat posture, and let out a deep sigh.

Although he didn't want to lose the game as Lu Buwu wanted, he was also reluctant to kill Luo Nai. After all, the other party was one of his innocent and young selves when he had just come into this world.

Seeing that Luo Nai had no intention of surrendering and looked like he was going to fight to the end, Zheng Ming sighed lightly again, turned around and walked towards the protective shield on the edge of the ring.

Luo Nai, who was on the side, saw Zheng Ming's actions, showed an inexplicable look, and put down the weapon pointed at the other party.

He didn't understand that the other party was obviously far superior to him in melee combat and had an absolute advantage, but he didn't take the opportunity to close the distance and continue to attack. The other party's slow walk towards the protective barrier made him even more puzzled.

"What the hell is he trying to do?"

When Lonay whispered in doubt in the ring, so did everyone outside the ring. At this moment, it seemed that the same question appeared in everyone's mind, and the commentator outside the venue even spoke out this doubt.

The audience, who was originally watching with bated breath because of the thrilling battle before, couldn't help but talk about their origins when they saw this unexpected unfolding.

The noisy discussions, like the buzzing of billions of mosquitoes, buzzed outside the venue, and they looked at each other.

"Kill him, Death."

"Lao Tzu didn't come here to see these ......"

……

In the audience where they whispered to each other, the sudden roar was unusually piercing. The cacophony suddenly stopped for a moment, followed by sparse cursing and shouting.

"Keep fighting!"

"What are we coming to see you for, don't you know yourself? You think we're here to see your boring fight? Or is it that uncomfortable mask? ”

"Kill him. Kill your opponent......"

A figure stood up, ignoring the strange gazes of the people around him, and roared wildly. But after all, most of the audience came for Luonai, so it didn't spread into an uncontrolled frenzy.

"I know what you want to see......" Like ice water poured on a flame, Zheng Ming's indifferent voice came, extinguishing those crazy emotions.

Zheng Ming, who was in the audience, looked at the audience who stood up one by one and danced wildly, but there was no sound to the audience, and sneered.

"I'm also aware of my comments on the Internet. You don't even need to see it in person to imagine those bad comments like angry wolves. It doesn't take much thought to know that one of them must be from those who are now standing up and shouting. Saying that, Zheng Ming's feet staggered forward and backward, and raised his right fist high.

"Oh, that's ridiculous. Why am I obviously a mad-level combat power, but I am crushed to the strong level? Isn't it because the opponent here doesn't have the strength to take my blow? Is it because I'm unruly? No! It's because you guys like it. It's because they think that by blowing their opponents with one blow, they can attract more people like you to watch! ”

Zheng Ming's right fist was slammed behind him, his body stretched out like a longbow, and his movements stopped for a moment.

"I'd like to see what kind of face they have to call me strong after today! Don't you dare to keep me here! ”

In the roar, Zheng Ming's raised right fist black flame rose, followed by the jet-black fist, which fell rapidly, heading straight for the protective shield on the edge of the ring.

"Boom."

A deafening roar sounded, and everyone present covered their ears in pain because of the sudden impact.

The ground shook violently under the impact caused by the attack, and countless cracks spread to the ground around the protective shield.

Countless screams and shouts of terror, complacent cracks in the protective shield, burrowed into the ring. Zheng Ming, who was blocked out of the audience's voice, finally heard the malicious curse from the audience again.

"Haha, let's call it. Cry. Today I will let you understand that I am not a monkey who can be wantonly oppressed and raised by onlookers. It's the strong who can easily slaughter you! ”

In the midst of laughter, Zheng Ming's fist smashed on the protective shield like raindrops, and the roar like a giant hammering a drum continued to sound, resounding all around.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the cracks on the protective shield, which should have been absolutely strong and safe, separating them from the beasts in the field, became denser and denser, and finally shattered into a spot of light in the sky, dissipating in mid-air.

"Ahhhh

"He's out, the madman is out."

"Damn, how the hell are these people in the arena managed? What about the sheriff? What about the robot troops? Why didn't you come and kill that madman? ”

The screams and curses suddenly rose to a height of several points, even breaking through the reverberating roar and spreading throughout the fighting arena.

"Death...... Zheng Ming. You're committing a crime. If you cause further riots, the fighting arena won't let you go. Those who fall from heaven will not let you go. When the time comes, you will be hunted down by endless strong people, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, it is useless. ”

"Identity ID: 207809110213, Zheng Ming, I'm an intelligent AI commentator. Please don't be impulsive and stop your actions. Your prowess has been fully demonstrated, and any errors in your judgment have been reported to the top of the arena. In a few days, we will give you a full range of testing and combat power assessments. I hope you don't expand the riots. ”

Hearing the voices of the two commentators, Zheng Ming raised his eyes.

Not far above his head, there was a square, transparent interpretive room, suspended in mid-air.

"Crime? No, no, no, I'm not sinning. There are also no rules for water, and the fighters cannot break through the protective shield and walk out of the ring. Zheng Ming looked at the two figures in the commentary room who were also watching him, and a bright smile appeared on his face, but unfortunately under the cover of the mask, the other party couldn't see it.

The commentator in the commentary room, whose face was pale, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the expressionless AI commentator beside him.

"Zheng Ming is not wrong. The protective shield is to prevent the audience from being impacted by the player's battle, and its strength is formulated according to the highest combat power of the level at which it is located. Theoretically, there is no such thing as a player breaking through the shield, so there are no rules for violating the rules. ”

The sound of the AI commentary's explanation is heard throughout the arena under the effect of a loudspeaker. Hearing this, Zheng Ming glanced at the crowd who had briefly forgotten their fears and were excited, and then shrugged his shoulders at the commentator with a gloomy face.

"You see, I'm not violating. Everything I did was reasonable and within the prescribed limits. I was just going to give up fighting, and the difference with others was that I went out on the sidelines alone. You have no right to condemn me.

It's the fight itself that deserves more attention than what I've done. I have serious doubts about the legitimacy and legitimacy of this fight. After speaking, Zheng Ming ignored the chaotic audience and the commentator whose face became more and more gloomy, slowly turned around and walked to the backstage.

"Zheng Ming, a strong upper-level player, and Luo Nai, a fierce median player. The strength of the fighters on both sides is more than one step beyond the fighting arena they are in. After inquiring about the battle between the two sides, there are many irrationalities. A request was made to investigate the facilitator of the fighting, Lü Buwu. ”

Seeing the AI commentary, his eyes lit up, and countless words quickly passed by, and the commentator on the side sat back on the commentary seat.

He glanced at the tea that had been spilled by himself in the riot just now, and couldn't help but sigh softly after looking at the ring where only Luo Nai was standing in place.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese網ωωω.. còм< starter, domain name, remember

"Lu Buwu, what kind of person have you provoked. This thing can't be better. Everyone has managed to get to where they are now, and it's time for me to pay attention to my usual words and deeds. I can't be like him, doing things that ruin me in order to cling to the top. ”

Ignore the emotion of the commentator here. On the other side, Zheng Ming slowly walked out of the arena under the gaze of countless awe and fear, and stepped into the passage to the backstage.

The decision to break the shield of the ring and cause a riot was made by him after much deliberation. Only within the scope of the regulations, do some actions that cause riots and cannot be quelled, can his situation be improved.

This is also the shortest and most effective way he can think of without owing favors to others and relying on himself.

As for obeying Lu Buwu's orders, this was an option that he abandoned from the beginning. It's not that he Zheng Ming can't stand the grievances and is so unruly that he can't bend down and bow his head, but that doing so will not help his current situation at all.

You must know that the reason why he Zheng Ming can have a large number of viewers is because he can't completely control his body and can't keep his hands during the battle. Although this has attracted many complaints and condemnation, it is fortunate that he did not violate the rules of the fighting ring.

Speaking of which, his battles are not exciting, and almost every battle is a one-stroke kill. But the battle on the front line of life and death, the battle of the dead in every battle, instead brings together those who have a backlog of tyranny in their hearts.

They can curse wantonly and vent their inner emotions. Zheng Ming's battle, for them, is a carnival, an expression of emotions. No matter how brutal and tyrannical they behaved here, when they walked out of the arena, they were still the same gentle and good people as before. will even accompany relatives and friends to denounce Zheng Ming's evil deeds.

It is precisely because of this nature that although Lu Buwu has always advised Zheng Ming to stay, his real attitude will not change. Compressing the number of his fighting arenas and slowing down his promotion speed is just to brew and expand public opinion for a truly hot fight.

For example, today's battle was like that. If he kills Lonay, those large audiences, there may be people who will dislike him, but it is undeniable that whether they are attracted by his battles or really dislike him from the bottom of their hearts, these people will definitely come to watch his future battles.

What if Zheng Ming really believed Lü Buwu's words and surrendered?

Lü Buwu will get an obedient and powerful subordinate who can squeeze Zheng Ming's surplus value before he advances. Lü Buwu did not lose.

And Zheng Ming will not dare to kill because of the change in fighting style, and lose the current mass base. When the time came, he was greeted with real disgust and resistance. Now these duplicitous audiences who denounce him will spare no effort to resist him and dislike him.

Either way, it won't help him in his current situation, but will put him in a worse situation.

Either they lose their freedom and surrender, or they are oppressed by resistance and oppression.

And now it's different. After he made such a fuss, things have reached a point where they can't be reined in. The fact that his combat power far exceeds his level will also be spread quickly.

It is almost expected that a real test of re-evaluation of combat power will come in the near future. For his unfair oppression, there will also be an investigation.

When the time comes, the frightened audience will become the most conscientious overseers. The fear of Zheng Ming will also turn into anger, and it will be transferred to the fighting arena of Lu Buwu and others and inaction.

Even if Zheng Ming's method deviates from the predicted track, Zheng Ming now has a way out. It's a big deal that he agreed to Wu Jun's request, waved his sleeves and left.

After thinking about it, Zheng Ming's heart became more and more calm, and he also walked out of the dimly lit corridor.

The vision suddenly opened up, and Zheng Ming crossed the narrow corridor and entered the spacious backstage hall.

The bright warm yellow light and the faint sound of conversation suddenly burst into his world, dispelling the gloom and loneliness of the past.

He looked at the countless players in the lounge and hall, the strangers who were busy with each other, stretched his body, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The depression that had accumulated in his heart before, which made him breathless, and the extremely irritable depression seemed to be accompanied by this long exhale, and he vomited it out of his body.

"Next, I guess life will be much better." Zheng Ming whispered to himself and looked in the direction of his lounge.

"Zheng Ming, long time no see."

A soft female voice suddenly sounded from behind him, causing Zheng Ming's footsteps to stop in place. He turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice had come.

I saw a slender, bumpy figure on the side of the corridor leading to the fighting ring, half-leaning against the wall. He was looking at him with wide open and shining eyes.

Many people have a similar physiognomy to animals. The woman in front of Zheng Ming was like this. She has the appearance of a rabbit.

Some of the baby's fat little faces are condensed into a full shape because of the bright smile on them. Under the cracked pink lips, the pair of white and crystal front teeth are very conspicuous.

However, these features add a few points to her face, which is cute, making her look younger.

Zheng Ming glanced at the other party's snow-white rabbit ears that were constantly shaking because of his agitated mood, and looked at the bright eyes that still made him remember them even though so much time had passed.

"Naruto? Is it really you? ”

Seeing the woman exclaim in surprise and take a few steps forward, Zheng Ming involuntarily took half a step back.

He looked at the woman who looked stunned and stood in place at a loss, and reached out to hold the crazy mask on her face.

Silently, the crazy face mask in his hand turned into wisps of black smoke, all of which were absorbed into his body and dissipated into nothingness. Zheng Ming's appearance under it was finally exposed in front of the woman's eyes.

"Bai Su, long time no see."

Hearing Zheng Ming's flat voice, as well as the name for himself, Bai Su was stunned on the spot.

There was a coldness between the eyebrows, and the traces of that time could no longer be seen on the handsome face with sharp edges.

Looking at the cute and beautiful little face in his memory, which was far from the appearance, and Zheng Ming's skin color and hair color without a trace of blue, the expression on Bai Ming's face was stunned.

"Naruto? Is it really you? Where have you been all these years? What have you been through? ”

In Bai Su's complicated eyes accompanied by distress and stunned, Zheng Ming sighed lightly.

"It's time to come." After secretly saying something in his heart, Zheng Ming turned around and walked in the direction of the lounge.

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk slowly."

A calm voice with a ripple in it reached Bai Su's ears. She looked at Zheng Ming's back as she kept moving away, and seemed to recall the scene when the other party was swallowed by a black vortex ten years ago, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly chased after her.
