Chapter 328: The Empress
When the teleportation time came, Leon opened his eyes and found himself standing in a dense green forest, with a thick shade above his head and a path leading to a stream at his feet.
Standing in the forest with Leon are the following players.
The first was a middle-aged white man, with somewhat sparse blond hair hanging down his forehead, a haggard face, dark circles under his eyes, a suit and trousers, and no weapons in his hands—except for the burning cigarette in his ear.
But the overall dress makes people feel like a hard-pressed middle-aged crisis man who overslept in the early morning and could only squeeze the subway desperately without breakfast, striving not to be late for work.
This benevolent brother is the Prometheus Company employee who was in the same deathmatch mission as Leon before, John Joyce.
He had previously been arrested by the Secret Service for his strange whereabouts, although he sent a distress call for help to Prometheus before he was thrown into prison.
And the superiors on the company's side did explain the situation to the Special Affairs Bureau and asked for someone to be fished out.
However, the Secret Service Bureau did not like them at all, after all, John Joyce was also involved in this deathmatch mission, and may have played some kind of important role.
So for the past few days, John has been being interrogated by the Secret Service, and he has told all the information he knows.
Even when I was a child, I went to my hometown farm to put the chickens in the bed as pets, but the next day I found that the pet chickens were crushed to death by myself.
It wasn't until half an hour ago that he was notified of the scripted mission and pressed the alarm bell in his solitary cell, and after a brief period of deliberation, the Secret Service reissued the equipment items to him so that John could carry out the mission.
The second, a white woman, with a beautiful figure, has wavy blonde hair that is curled and supple and hangs down to her waist.
Wearing a one-piece leather jacket that can set off the figure very well, stepping on high heels,
A large-caliber pistol in each hand, with a tactical belt around his waist.
The overall look is a bit like Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".
This kind of tight-fitting leather jacket, no matter what the combat effectiveness, is still very good-looking,
Especially for the broad masses of people in the United States, tight-fitting leather clothes seem to have an additional value bonus.
In addition, she also wore a masquerade-style black feather mask, which covered a small part of her face, and the exposed half of her face was enough to prove that she had a beautiful look.
The third is a slender young Latina with dark skin, a small head, sunglasses, a colorful hoodie and beach pants, and a Bluetooth headset around his neck.
The fourth, a middle-aged and elderly man of black race, was fat, had a half-white beard, wore round-rimmed glasses, and was wearing a loose red plaid wool shirt, a large-caliber shotgun in his hand, and a pair of fluffy brown slippers at his feet.
The five players, including Leon, all stood in place, silently looking at the others, and no one spoke.
"Hmm... The looks of a few of them are really chic,"
Li Ang was the first to speak to break the silence, "It's not like a warrior who came to participate in the mission, but like a group of cosplay enthusiasts who messed into the movie set." ”
Hearing his words, the other four people all focused their eyes on him, and their expressions were a little strange.
Leon's outfit was, in their opinion, probably the weirdest of the group.
At this moment, Leon is wearing tactical pants and a spacious black cape, which is a yellow-brown body armor inside and a red sweater on the inside.
In addition, he wears a red hat, a red mask, and black sunglasses.
The human-tall giant scythe held in both palms was shaking unconsciously with the sound of the wind, reflecting a little cold light.
The overall look, like a perverted serial killer, a serial psychopathic killer, and a serial killer pervert.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good person.
Li Ang ignored the gazes of the others, played a knife trick, and said casually, "What do you call a few people?" ”
"Just call me John." The hapless former CIA agent John Joyce sighed and said with some weakness.
"Julia." The woman in the leather coat said coldly, her voice quite good.
"Smoker." The lanky Latina youth pushed his sunglasses and folded his arms in front of him.
"Bob." The old black man smiled kindly, not at all meaning to put down the gun in his hand.
Obviously, several players, including Leon, do not plan to reveal more information, such as player nicknames, levels, and titles.
In the killing game, the player's identity attribute is naturally very important, but the barriers of country, ethnicity, culture, skin color, etc. still exist, and they have not been eliminated because of the arrival of the killing game.
On the contrary, the differences between players in different regions will become larger and larger over time.
Lone wolf players in East Asia and players in South America who have been domesticated and captive by transnational plutocratic groups and local armed forces are almost two species.
If it's not my race, its heart will be different, not to mention that there are all foreign players here, and there is no Oriental face.
It's good to reluctantly cooperate to clear the script together, but it's impossible to be honest with each other.
Several others probably also had this idea, and for a while, the atmosphere fell silent again.
Until the system tone breaks the silence.

This time the system prompt really made five players stunned,
Julia frowned, and asked in a soft voice, "Did you all receive the task of 'holding Grimm's Fairy Tales and Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale books' before teleporting?" ”
John Joyce let out an "um", and the smoker and Bob nodded.
"First of all, let's assume that the world of the script is related to fairy tale books,"
Julia said softly, "The goal of this mission is to bring the complete magic mirror out of the Snow Queen's palace.
Literally, the Snow White here is not the powerless princess in Grimm's fairy tale "Snow White".
It refers to Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "Snow White", the queen who has the power of surging ice and can cool the volcano..."
