Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Final - All Killed 016
After a period of suppressed silence, Tom suddenly burst out laughing, the look on his face was neither elegant nor reserved, and very rarely, he showed a look that perhaps no one had ever seen on his face, like a rascal who had completely lost his face, and was familiar with the appearance of spitting on the forehead of the strip at the police station, "Oh?...... Is it? I'm already dead? Why can't I see it? I said, you detonated that pack of tissues, huh? If it doesn't detonate, it will never threaten my life, because, after all, it's just a pack of toilet paper~"
Lei Huo opened his mouth in surprise, and then showed a shocked look, his right hand clenched fiercely, and the package of toilet paper was squeezed into an irregular round ball: "Are you - are you playing a scoundrel?!" β
Tom's wound was gone, his clothes had changed to a crisp gray and white striped suit, he easily straightened his tie, snapped his fingers, and there were a few more abrupt cracks in the shell of the turtle he was holding in his arms. Although he was dressed like a dog www.biquge.info at the moment he tilted his head, put his hands in his pockets, his left leg was half-bent, and he was constantly clapping on the ground, with a graceless sneer on his face, he really looked like a scoundrel: "Playing a scoundrel? Ha? What are you talking about? Five minutes have passed, you don't know? β
"But just nowβ" The turtle's expression was also very ugly, but he was only halfway through his words, and he swallowed it back, biting his lip so hard that it almost bled out, and finally only spit out a low curse, "Damn." β
Tom glanced at him, perhaps thinking about what to say to make him most uncomfortable, and rolled his head and thought for a while, before grinning, "Of course, it wasn't more than five minutes when Thunderfire put that packet of paper in front of me, that's right. But he didn't detonate, huh? Remember the rules? I'm going to be able to suppress myself in five minutes, and you're going to take the opportunity and kill me in those five minutes. But five minutes have passed, and I'm still alive, haven't I? β
Finally broke through the shackles of the magic array, Xiao Cang, who had barely recovered his strength after a while, just walked over, and heard Tom's speech, and said angrily: "? Are you so shameless? β
"Shameless?" Tom laughed three times, "Since Thunderfire came to me like that, it means that he didn't plan to detonate that packet of toilet paper at all. Otherwise, he would have just thrown it over, wouldn't he? That thing will hurt you, too, but you ask, would he be willing to die with me at that time? β
Thunder Fire was indeed told by Tom that it was a sore spot. Although he has been acting like everything is normal recently, he made the decision to kill the two-color ball before, and directly led to the fact that the two-color ball finally blew himself up, which did cause him a considerable psychological shadow, and he has not been able to get out of it so far. He could no longer kill as carelessly as he used to, because death had become a substance in his mind, no longer a mere word for fluttering.
But he also knew that he must not show cowardice at this time, so he just twitched the corners of his mouth, and responded with disdain: "Heh, all of them are doomed? Will you die with me? If I detonate, will you continue to suppress your strength and obediently wait for death? β
Tom laughed like a rascal: "Ha! How will you know if you don't try? β
"Goo......" Lei Huo was directly choked by his shameless words, and he couldn't think of what to say for a while.
Lin Qing took the dueling gem and threw it in his hand, watching them talk for a long time, and finally took over the conversation at this moment: "No, you can know the answer without trying." When you were beaten by Xiao Cang, you actually used your power as a dungeon boss, am I right? β
Tom was stunned for a moment, although he understood it when he saw Lin Qing's mocking expression, he also understood that it was just the moment he was stunned, he had no way to hide it anymore.
As mentioned before, the reason why Tom wants to give them five minutes, in addition to promising Feng Ming to give him a face, the main purpose is to prove his strength and cut off the idea that this group of contestants will come to break into the dungeon, disturb his life, and threaten his wife's life. If under the premise that he is suppressed by his strength, these people try their best, and they also use props and pets that are harsh and can only be used once, so they can barely defeat him, then the result is acceptable. But if Lin Qing and Pale Flame are one NPC and one player, and only rely on the personal abilities of these two people, if they are defeated without using any rare hole cards, the so-called deterrent effect will naturally disappear.
There are two paths left for Tom now. The first one is the simple and crude one that he really wants to choose. Kill all the contestants except him and his wife, and then kill an intruder like that kid, and get the Holy Grail directly, and he will become the champion, and then make a wish, he should be able to live the life he wants. Unfortunately, there are two very serious problems with this seemingly great idea.
First, it's hard to believe the promise he made to "fulfill wishes" from a guy who calls himself a "demon". And his wish is not an unrealistic wish that can only be fulfilled in this way, for him, far from having to trust the GM, on the contrary, the pitfalls and other risks that the GM may have in fulfilling his wish should have been avoidable for Tom, and therefore difficult to accept.
Second, he had promised his wife that he would kill as little as he could.
After carefully considering the first option, Tom realized that there was only one option left for him.
That is, the second way, here is not to lose momentum to admit a cowardice, and then give these people a way to clear the level without provoking themselves, so that although there is also a risk that this group of teasing obsessively have to come to the dungeon to kill the ultimate boss, but after all, it is a little more reliable than the first way, and he can also kill a few fewer people.
Tom shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I didn't expect you to see it." β
Tom said this to lift up Lin Qing and make what he said later more acceptable, but who is Lin Qing? Lin Qing, who has always been an extraordinary person and does extraordinary things, could it be that if someone blows him twice, he will definitely respond happily? At this moment, Lin Qing didn't know that the line in his brain was wrong, so he sneered and said proudly: "No, I'm just talking nonsense." β
"Nonsense! Of course I know you're talking nonsense! Tom almost blurted out this sentence, but tearing his face here was not good for Tom, who had already decided to act in the future, so he swallowed it very hard. After coughing a few times in a row, he brushed it off: "Hah, huh? That's pretty impressive. That's not the point, though. β
Tom paused deliberately to make sure he had attracted the attention of the people around him before he said slowly, "Then let's pick everything apart." There's no way I'm going to want to be killed by you just like that, that's understandable, right? On that basis, and considering that you did defeat me in those five minutes, I would like to show you a clear path, a path that can meet your requirements, and which is theoretically equivalent to killing me. β
Lin Qing finally couldn't hold it back, and tilted his neck on the side and said mockingly, "Oh? You've decided to sacrifice the blonde girl you were with that day? Well, even though I'm a Lolita, it's not unacceptable to have a good-looking sister character-"
"Shut up! That's my wife! Tom roared a little annoyed, looking at Lin Qing's malicious smile was really getting angrier and angrier, but he was not so easily controlled by emotions, so he quickly adjusted, ignoring Lin Qing's continuous ridicule and interruption, and told the five people in front of him the information about "Invader" that he had heard from the insect catcher cadre before.
Finally, looking at each of the five thoughtfully, Tom nodded in satisfaction, chuckled, and concluded in this sentence: "Even though you probably haven't seen these 'Invaders' yet, as far as I know, there are probably a lot more active people in the arena than our fourteen genuine contestants. And some of them are NPCs that don't have any combat power. β
"Wait a minute," Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, "According to what you say, sooner or later, we will run into these 'Invaders' one day." β
Tom glanced at him and grinned at him, only to ignore him at all, and said in a strange pose, "Well, that's it, I hope we don't see each other again, my mighty friend." β
Before the words fell, Tom's figure disappeared suddenly, and the brilliance of the magic array that enveloped the entire building also disappeared completely at the same moment, if nothing else, he should indeed have left here as he said.
Lin Qing, who was left to dry, didn't seem to be so unhappy, as if his unfocused pupils had gathered the figures of the other three people, pursed his lips, seemed to be smiling, and stopped what he said halfway.
Then, Lei Huo took Lin Qing's words, looked at the silent turtle, and said in an obvious tone and attitude: "We will know the information he said sooner or later, that is to say, our joint operation this time has no results, and it wastes a lot of time and energy for no reason, right?" For this failed action, should there be some people who should stand up and take responsibility? β
Lin Qing squinted and smiled, Xiao Cang frowned tightly, and took two steps back, the meaning of the two of them was very clear, that is, they didn't want to participate in the dispute between the two of them for the time being, as for what they were actually thinking in their hearts, no one would know, and no one would have to know. That's how the world has always worked.
Lei Huo looked a little displeased when he saw the two of them's statement, but at the same time, he was a little relieved, it was not so good that these two people didn't support him, but they didn't stand on the side of the turtle to kill themselves, which avoided the worst-case scenario.
Thunder Fire saw very clearly that the probability of living to summon the Holy Grail was very low on his own, and he had to stay with the Crimson Sea, watch all the dangerous elements in all the contestants and intruders die, and finally kill the Crimson Sea with his own actions. Although the process was very difficult and the success rate was low, it was really his only win.
Therefore, now he had to find a way to drag it until the Crimson Sea returned. Then, instead of praying to the sky from the sidelines to prevent it from affecting you, it is better to find a way to take the initiative of the situation in your own hands. Don't look at this line so lofty, in other words, it is to take the initiative to make trouble. Being the center of everyone's attention can be uncomfortable and unsafe, but in fact, it can keep the danger under control.
Just like now, the danger he needs to watch out for the most is the Silent Turtle, and he's just an ordinary NPC no matter what...... Thunderfire stared into the turtle's eyes, and the turtle looked at him with a motionless smile.
"This guy's pet has the effect of not moving for a minute, and then silencing the target unit within a certain range." After Lei Huo sorted out his thoughts, he tried to focus on dealing with the turtle, "...... It's not a minute now. Threatening a minute before he could do it would have made it impossible for him to continueβ"
While Lei Huo was thinking, the turtle's movements were beyond his expectations.
The turtle approached him calmly, smiling, but did not respond to Lei Huo's condemnation, but instead talked to Lin Qing, who was completely out of his field of vision, without looking back: "I said, Brother Lu, why haven't those two female players come over yet?" β
"Huh?" Lin Qing grinned evilly, "Because when I defeated Tom, I contacted Xiao Jin and asked her to find a reason to stay outside with the Crimson Sea?" β
Lei Huo's face changed, and he threw out the toilet paper he had been holding in his hand, and at the same time turned his head, unable to remain calm anymore and shouted with a very ugly face: "What?!" Why! β
"Because~~~" Lin Qing smiled very happily, "Hmm-look~"
Lei Huo turned his face, only then did he notice that the ball of toilet paper had not exploded, and the turtle had come to him at some point, he opened his mouth, and for some reason it was still difficult to speak, and he couldn't breathe. It took him a second before it occurred to him that it was probably because the turtle had held a knife in his hand under his chin and stabbed him in the throat.
ββ¦β¦ Actually, there's not much to say. Seeing Lei Huo's shocked gaze, the turtle said in his deep voice, and he didn't say with much joy, "I said I want to stand for a minute, but it doesn't mean that I really have to stand for a minute, right?" β
"It's terrifying, isn't it, Lin Qing?" Xiao Cang stood next to Lin Qing, watching the battle between the turtle and Lei Huo, sighed with emotion, and looked at Lin Qing with strange eyes.
Lin Qing grinned, turned his head, and before he could speak, he felt a powerful impact.
The instantaneous explosion formed by Xiao Cang's punch, the wind wave formed shattered the window that had lost its magic protection, and the loud noise that made it took away the sound from the ears of everyone in this building.
