Chapter 2 Just Am I Dead?
At night, I lay tired in a rented house, threw aside the mobile phone provided by the sponsor, and watched the news report on the TV about the disbandment of the "JM" team, and was a little lost for a while.
Back three years ago, when I was a sophomore, I formed the "JM" team. The reason is somewhat accidental, the five glory kings of the same school are not convinced by anyone, and in the end they ridiculously make an appointment in the school cafeteria, of course, with the game to decide the winner. The winner becomes the leader of the school game, and the other four losers each eat a spoonful of mustard.
We went head-to-head with 3 round-robin round-robins until my phone was running out of battery and I finally won with a two-head advantage. The rest of the people were willing to gamble and lose, pinching their noses and swallowing mustard. But no one was convinced, and decided to continue the battle at the same time and place after a week.
Later, we fought three more times. As a result, they ate mustard three more times, so much so that later shooter scoundrels fell in love with the taste of mustard. And the five of us, so we became friends who talked about everything. Later, we often formed teams to torture the so-called game masters of other schools. At that time, we were carefree, unburdened, and no one pointed at your nose and said that the plaything was lost, but was surrounded by envious and adoring eyes. Now that I think about it, that time was really the happiest time.
It wasn't until three months later that we received a bombshell news: "Honor of Kings" held a national KPL competition! The champion will join the national game team and represent China in the world!
On the day I received the news, I immediately summoned them: "Brothers, isn't this tailor-made for us?" What are you waiting for? My team is hungry! β
As for the team names, we've been thinking about them for a long time, and they all look awesome. Only the scoundrel said lightly: "It's better to be called 'JM', after all, our acquaintance is inseparable from mustard." β
We both thought it made sense, and the name of the team "JM" was decided. After we became famous, we were often asked what the letters "JM" meant, and every time we laughed and said it was a secret.
Later, we really succeeded. Fought out of the campus competition, fought out of the Eastern Arena, and successfully entered the finals!
On the day we reached the finals, we received the long-awaited sponsor contract and finally had a professional coach! That day, the whole school shook, and the principal's jaw dropped: "Can you get such a good job by playing games?" "We couldn't sleep with excitement.
After reaching the final, the competition started to get tough. However, our newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and relied on close cooperation to defeat a number of teams with high demands to win the championship and successfully reached the finals. In the end, we met the same high-flying arch-nemesis, KTG.
This game can be illustrated by protracted play. In the first four games, both sides won two each, each of which lasted more than half an hour. Maybe it was because we were tired, the match point battle, we made two small mistakes in quick succession, and the opponent managed to catch and establish an advantage, but we quickly made up for it. In the end, the other side fell into a difficult tug-of-war. It may be that the heavens are helping KTG, and in the last wave, they had a high frequency of critical strikes, and finally won the game by a narrow margin at the forty-two minutes.
Of course, we are not reconciled. This was the second challenge that followed. On that occasion, when both sides were in the last wave of the matchpoint battle, a blunder of the opposing shooter's mistake helped him dodge the lethal skill, and in the end we lost by a narrow margin.
If this is yours, can you swallow this breath? What's even more infuriating is that KTG, which is powerful in the domestic zone and receives high national wages, will be dumb as soon as it arrives on the international stage, and it has been two years, and it has stopped in the top 16, which can be described as no achievement, and we are so angry that we are itching. But it can't be helped, who calls them still national champions!
And this year, with the addition of the mysterious mask captain, KTG should be expected to hit the world championship. But we're already unemployed, and in a few days, after all the follow-up matters of the disbandment of the team are handled, we will go out and find a job.
As I was thinking wildly, there was a knock at the door.
I shook my head and smiled, these brute teammates, how big their hearts are, at this time, they are still in the mood to drink. I opened the door and was about to say hello, but there was no one. When I looked down, there was a cardboard box on the ground with the words "Lin Feng collected".
Ha? The inexplicable express mail of the third watch in the middle of the night is so weird.
"Perhaps, it's a disappointed gift from a fan." I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
Picked up the carton and shook it, but there was no unusual sound. I was relieved to take it back, close the door, and open the carton.
When I saw the contents of the cardboard box, I was stunned, this is a piece of armor? It's quite heavy in the hand, and the material is also an unknown alloy, which looks very strong. Looking at the strange "Z" in the middle of the armor, a thought suddenly popped up in my mind: This is a one-to-one restoration of the "protection of the sage"? This craftsmanship, this workmanship, and the faint flow of light, and this feel, are also too good? Gotta give 100 likes.
After getting this simulated "Sage's Protection", I immediately fell in love with it, and even the professional league was thrown out of the clouds. Look left and right, look up and down, and like how you look. This fan is amazing!
Suddenly, a thought swirled wildly through my mind: why don't you try to wear it?
I'm not a cosplayer, but it seems that a lot of people like to wear game character clothes to participate in competitions, and even more swaggering, so I just wear it at home, right?
Just do it! I took off my jacket and left only a short sleeve and put on the armor, which wasn't hard at all and felt extra comfortable, which was great!
At this moment, a light breeze suddenly blew behind me.
Wind? The windows are closed. I looked back and there was nothing. But when I looked back, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck.
"You...... Captain Mask ...... "My throat was hoarse, spurting Migao's blood.
Strangely, I didn't feel the slightest pain, I just felt chills all over my body, and finally my eyes went black.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt like I had a long, strange dream. The beginning of the dream, I have forgotten it for too long, but I only remember the end, a huge spaceship that obscured the sky and the sun and landed in a reckless world. The huge door of the spaceship slowly opened, and all kinds of strange people flew out of it......
Then I woke up because I was awakened by the smoke!
I didn't have time to think about where I was, why I came back from the dead, and why I had this strange dream, so I ran out of the room and shouted, "It's on fire!" Help me! Kombat 119! β
There was a lot of noise all around, and no one paid any attention to me.
I looked around and it was a quaint house. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to think, so I quickly opened the door and rushed out. Then, the men and women in period costumes with eyes full of eyes ran around in panic.
WhatοΌ Making a movie? This scene, this group performance, is too real, right? I hurriedly shouted: "Director, what a big production!" If you burn it again, you will really die! β
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to me.
The wooden house is good to burn, and the smoke is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, it's all raw smoke, and I can accept it with my nose covered.
Most of the group performers ran in one direction, and I luckily ran along. Turning left and right, it took about ten minutes, and when I finally saw the shadow of the gate, a group of soldiers in ancient costumes armed with spears and big knives at their waists suddenly rushed in fiercely. The pillars of blood that soared were about to catch up with the fountain.
This special effect, cow! It just feels like a waste of money.
I was about to compliment them on their performances, and by the way, I asked which great director's masterpiece it was. The crowd suddenly huddled into a ball and retreated in horror, and I was helplessly taken away directly by a wave!
In the panic, I don't know where I was squeezed into. It was still a mess, but there seemed to be little smoke in front of me, so I ran over to it.
It's a big yard, and a unique battle is going on in the yard.
I saw a young man covered in blood, holding a dagger in both hands, flying up and down among the masked black-clothed people full of pits and valleys, rolling up layers of blood waves. That's real kung fu. I felt like I saw a rising kung fu superstar in the future. It's a pity that it's not a field, and I don't know him.
No matter how high a young man's kung fu is, he can't bear the crowd. Gradually, there were more and more wounds on his body, and he could no longer jump, let alone fly through the crowd. Soon, after killing half of the men in black, the young man finally collapsed from exhaustion due to excessive blood loss.
As the only viewer, I was even more addicted. However, the expected "CUT" sound did not come. All the men in black in the courtyard bowed to the fallen man. Then a man in black came out of the crowd, half-squatted beside the young man whose life and death were unknown, drew a meter-long knife, and directly cut off the latter's head!
Acting? Is it still possible? Thinking back to the scene at the door just now, the thick smell of blood, those terrible screams, and those desperate and panicked eyes, how could it be acting! And in front of him, a person who was alive just now was cut off in public, and it was bloody! How can this be acting!
My mind went blank, my stomach felt uncomfortable, and my throat made a retching sound.
Oops! The sound of retching was particularly abrupt in the dead silence of the yard. In an instant, more than twenty pairs of cold eyes stared at me in unison. In an instant, I felt as if I had been immobilized, my whole body was cold, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't take a step. The man in black over there had already drawn his weapon and pounced on me.
What to do? Are you going to die? Will you never win a World Championship again in your life?
At the critical moment, a melodious piano sound suddenly remembered to sound. The rushing killers seemed to be fascinated by the sound of the piano, and one by one they froze in place. And as soon as my whole body was loose, I turned around and wanted to run!
"Brother!" Suddenly, a shadow rushed in the opposite direction, and Bolt sighed at that speed. As a result, I didn't react at all, so I pretended to be full of arms with her.
This time, I was knocked to pieces. I shook my head, and by the light of the fire, I saw that it was a cold girl of fifteen or sixteen. Under her left eye, there is also a beauty mole. Looking at her, I actually felt very familiar! But I can't remember where I've seen it! And her appearance is seven or eight points similar to the "kung fu superstar" in the previous yard.
The girl glared at me, got up, drew two daggers from her trouser legs, and was about to pounce into the crowd of black, following in the footsteps of the headless corpse.
"Ke, slow down!" At this time, accompanied by the sound of the piano, a tall and thin man ran in. He held a musical instrument like a small guzheng in his left hand, wore a mink vest, and his legs were at least one meter long, and his appearance was handsome and cold. This face, this shape, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere. But there is no such sassy man in the memory bank.
That girl's name is Ake? Why does it sound familiar?
"Gao fades away! If you dare to stop me, I will kill you with you!" Ke pointed a dagger at the man and said.
The man named Gao Yuanli plucked the strings with his left hand. Ke's eyes blurred instantly. Gao Yanli immediately raised his right hand and directly knocked the girl unconscious!
This, this, police uncle, I'm going to call the police, someone kidnapped an underage girl!
He picked up the girl with one hand, put it on his shoulder, and looked at me coldly: "You are also here to assassinate Jing Ke?" β
Jing Ke? It sounds familiar, but I have no grievances with him, how can I assassinate him? And do I have the ability? Besides, I don't even know why I'm here! So I shook my head desperately.
"Alas, Jingfu is doomed to ruin tonight. You've saved Ke's life, so come with me. β
I was desperate to escape from this damn place, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Following the strange uncle who kidnapped the girl, we came to a wall. After Gao gradually left the small section of the run, he directly crossed the wall more than two meters high. And I stretched out my hand, and I couldn't reach it at all!
At this moment, my heart is extremely broken!
Fortunately, my strange uncle did not forget me, and another sound of the piano came, and I was unexpectedly relieved, as if my body was completely weightless.
"Hurry up." The outsider said so.
After a short run, I jumped. This one was earth-shattering, I flew directly over the wall, then fell on a grass and gnawed on a dog, and performed a facial "brake" myself.
Gao Yuanli shook his head and kicked me: "If you can move, hurry up!" We'll leave it at that. β
After saying that, he carried the unconscious flower girl and disappeared into the night.
When I looked back, the raging fire in Jingfu reflected half of the sky.
After confirming that it was safe, I felt exhausted. He coughed violently twice, spitting out thick black phlegm. There were more and more onlookers, and I was afraid of encountering danger again, so I could only drag my tired body into the night.
