242 humanoid machines

The howling wind swept over the glacier, and the extremely cold field that appeared on the screen made it feel cold just by looking at it.

Under the watchful eyes of more than a million spectators, the brutal tale of Gulliver's executioner returns.

"Click!"

Use the tomahawk in your hand to smash the last skeleton standing in front of you. The executioner, who had been covered in bruises from the battle just now, narrowed his scarlet eyes and glanced back at the broken bone warship.

Although there were some accidents in the process of execution, this time he was considered to have successfully completed the mission, and the rebels who were the target of the mission had all been killed.

As for what to do now, of course, is to go back to the mercenary union to collect money.

As he turned to leave, Gulliver glanced at the "friendly soldier" in the distance, and then snorted disdainfully:

"Huh...... A bunch of waste. ”

may be because they were shocked by their own killing methods just now, those soldiers of the Ice Kingdom who were saved by themselves not only did not mean to thank them, but hid away from them as if they had seen a plague god.

However, as a murderous executioner, he has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

Gulliver, dressed in dark gray light armor, trudged through a snow-covered glacier. Because of the damage of the wolfskin cloak that kept him warm, he moved much slower than when he came.

By the time the outline of Ostown appeared in sight, it was already dark. Through the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, you can only vaguely see the blurred silhouette of the bright lights in the distance. But......

Gulliver, who had walked through dozens of battlefields, could immediately recognize that it was not the lights but the fires that lit up in the city.

"What's going on?" Gulliver muttered.

Realizing that the situation was not right, he took off the "Andrea" behind him and held it in his hand, subconsciously quickened his pace, and quickly approached Ostown.

Then, he soon realized that his ominous premonition had come true:

The closer you get to the city, the more pronounced the smell of burning. The screams of despair in the town began to irritate his eardrums.

-- The "Snow City", which was originally covered in snow, has now become a "Blood City" that has been slaughtered!

"It's ......"

Standing in front of the gates of Os, Gulliver stopped and clenched his heading axe.

The executioner, who was accustomed to death, had no naΓ―ve idea of "revenge for the inhabitants of the city", and now he just wanted to determine where the hell was coming from, and he was carrying out the massacre in the city.

"Indiscriminate killing of innocents is a felony, what a kind."

Although he himself also killed countless people, all those he executed were sinners without exception. Because of this, Gulliver is even more intolerant of the people who carry out the massacre in the city.

As an executioner, it's time to put those guys on trial.

――――――――――――――

"It's finally time to move, let's go in and see what's going on. My axe is hungry and thirsty. ”

Sitting in front of the computer, his eyes were red, staring at the screen with an excited expression, operating with a dazzling hand speed for the audience, and his hands were brought out of the afterimage.

Unlike the "energy-saving mode", which never performs redundant operations in normal times, Zhao Nuo, who is in drunk mode, performs a lot of useless operations every second. Even now, when he just needs to move forward, his hand will wander at high speed on the keyboard before pressing the W key that is responsible for moving forward.

In the eyes of others, this seems to be some kind of show-off skill, but Zhao Nuo, who is on the scene in the personality, actually has nothing to do with the show-off at the moment, he just wants to vent his excess energy.

Once he drank too much wine, Zhao Nuo was like a powder keg that ignited the fuse, and he had to explode before he could regain his calm.

As for the way of the explosion...... The people of Hellfire Games, as well as the thugs hired by Guo Zihao, have already experienced two of them.

And now, the viewers who are watching the live broadcast will appreciate the third type.

On the screen, Gulliver walked in front of the wreckage of a collapsed house, and was about to move on, when a heavy scythe like a weapon of death suddenly flew out from the burning rubble around him, and flew in a circle towards his head.

What happens here is a QTE-like event, but instead of requiring a QTE, the player is required to press the attack button to slash the scythe the moment it flies in front of them.

In this event, the timing of the attack is extremely demanding, and the scythe on the highest difficulty flies incredibly fast, and if you are a little slower, the player will be killed instantly. So when playing here, there were many players who were caught off guard and handed over their "first blood" in this level.

However, for Zhao Nuo, who is now powerful and has nowhere to go, this is obviously a good outlet for him.

Before the scythe flew, he had already pressed the attack button, but it turned out that he attacked early, so he instantly pressed the defense button and set the tomahawk in front of him.

"Bell!"

The scythe in the middle of the axe blade was blocked by "Andrea", and before it hit the ground, a large purple hand reached out from the burning rubble and grasped the handle of the scythe.

Before that hand could be withdrawn, Gulliver, who was under the control of the drunken Zhao Nuo, had already taken the lead.

The executioner suddenly raised the battle axe and swung it forward with a groundbreaking momentum, only to hear a "click", and the hand holding the sickle was cut off from the joint, spewing a mist of blood and falling to the ground.

"Oooo

An angry roar erupted from the ruins, and a figure four meters tall broke through the ruins and stood up.

Although this guy only has two legs, he has six hands, no head, and at least ten eyeballs of different sizes and constantly turning on his body, and his appearance is extremely terrifying.

"Gasmeen."

The monster spoke a language that no one understood, and threw the scythe in his other hand.

According to the settings of the execution team, the player is required to perform QTE in place. However, this time the player, apparently, does not intend to follow the "rules of the game".

Under the stunned gaze of millions of spectators, Gulliver rushed forward in the face of the flying scythe, and then "ignored" the attack as if it had passed through the scythe!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's the situation? Who saw it just now? ”

"What's going on, game bugs?"

A large number of inquiring voices suddenly appeared in the barrage, and no audience could answer this question.

But on the other side of the ocean, in a certain office of AC Company, the members of the "Execution Team" who were crowded in front of Quint's computer to watch the live broadcast were shocked and unable to speak.

It wasn't until the first monster had been slain that one of them made an incredulous sound:

"Cheat software?"

"No, you can all see that he didn't cheat." Quint stared at the screen, unwilling to miss a detail.

As game developers, they naturally know all too well whether the "stellar wreckage" that is being broadcast is cheating. Even so, no one would believe what had just happened.

It's unbelievable that humans can do that kind of operation, which is completely inconsistent with scientific principles.

- Stellar debris did not skip the QTE through the BUG, but completed the QTE before everyone could react. Before the audience could see the button prompt on the screen, the guy was done!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What brand of chocolate did he just eat? Will it become like this if I eat it? A member of the group behind Quint muttered to himself.

"It seems to be Ferrero......"

"Now hurry up and shop online seems to have a discount......

"Shut up."

Interrupting the discussion of the off-topic deviation, Quint continues to watch the performance of the stellar wreckage.

Gulliver on the screen is slaying the demons slaughtering the city in a combat mode that Quint doesn't want to see. The game anchor named "Stellar Wreckage" actually used the executioner who used the tricks in the setting to focus on practicality and had no flashy skills at all, and he played the gorgeous tactics of the demon Dante in "Devil May Cry".

"Damn, looks like we're going to fail."

Looking at the executioner who was simply torturing the enemy at the highest difficulty, Quint lowered his head in frustration.

This patch to increase the difficulty of the game is indeed tailor-made for "Stellar Remnant", I thought I could block that guy's footsteps through this patch, but now it seems that I was too naΓ―ve.

The technology of the stellar wreckage can no longer be described as "powerful", and in the face of such a guy, no matter how difficult it is, it is useless.

Unless the game is set to be impossible to pass, no matter how difficult the level is, it will be like a tissue paper that is torn apart in front of that guy.

At this time Sam. In Quint's eyes, the young man who was playing the game was captured by the camera in the lower right corner of the screen, and he was no longer human, but-

"It's like a machine, is this kind of operation really human-like...... Could it be that the simulator developed in China has already started production? ”

"Boss, what are you talking nonsense!" The group members sitting behind them burst into laughter.

But Quint, who had seen such operations, even began to look for any metal on the face of the "stellar wreckage".

- As the maker of "The Executioner", no one knows the difficulty of this game better than him, even if it is himself, at this level of increased difficulty, it will probably take several deaths to get through it.

But in the face of stellar wreckage, this game is like the lowest difficulty of Warriors of the Three Kingdoms, completely turning into a lawn mowing journey.

Not to mention death, that guy slashed dozens of demons without even shedding a drop of blood!

"How is this possible......"

Quint's gaze became glazed over as he repeated the repetition - he had to admit that he had failed this time, and he had failed completely.

It took about twenty minutes, and Gulliver, under the control of the stellar wreckage, fought all the way to the central square of Ostown.

Then, the boss battle of the fifth level begins. R1152
