Section 554 The Quagmire of Greed X (45)
"Let's go! Dodd's dummy has been attacked! ”
Arthur ran ahead, and Jack followed, carrying Moritov, whose hands were tied.
"You can leave me here." Moritov said as he ran. "I promise I won't run away."
Jack didn't answer, and continued to lead him forward. As a result, their speed was slowed down and they fell behind by some distance. When Arthur stopped and they followed, a gunshot rang out.
Arthur was pulling out his gun when a shield appeared beside him, blocking the incoming bullets. Beside him, there was a corpse, the same B&B member who had been shooting at high speed in this position--- although this person was dead, the bullets in the musket were still firing in the distance.
Jack looked into the distance, and several more shots rang out in the same place. It seems that the enemy does not intend to flee, but to fight with himself and Arthur .... What a guts!
He also pulled out his gun, lay on the ground, and aimed into the distance. Arthur should be able to deal with the other party, but if the other party is not alone, but has a companion, he can cover him.
Jack thought so, and was observing, when he heard a gunshot ringing out next to him.
Arthur fired.
A scream rang out in the distance. Then the sound of shooting there died down.
Hit him? Worthy of Arthur!
Jack stood up and ran over there.
Finally found the ghost who has been pestering and making trouble all this time. This bastard, killing people outside, killing people inside the curtain, and continuing to kill people when he arrives here!
Now, I can finally see who he really is!
He was walking forward when he suddenly heard 'Poof! There was a muffled sound.
Jack suddenly felt a pain in his left arm and was shot. At the same time, Arthur's gun rang out again, and a soft scream was heard in the distance.
Then, a dark figure moved in the distance, as if fleeing.
"Chase!" Arthur shouted. "I hit him!"
As he spoke, he took his gun and chased into the distance.
In the distance, some of the people who had spotted the anomaly also approached. Jack didn't move, he thought back to what had just happened a few times before he could roughly figure out what was going on.
Just now, Arthur was hit for the first time by a decoy or a dummy. The enemy stopped firing after he concentrated the bait, just trying to lure him through.
But Arthur found out about this and did not pursue it. At this time, he rushed out in a little hurry, and Arthur did not stop him. When the enemy shoots and he is shot, he shoots according to the enemy's new position.
It's using yourself as bait--- but it's nothing, as you have strengthened your physical strength and can only shoot at medium and close range, covering your teammates is the job you should have done.
Jack drank the potion, glanced at Molitov behind him, and continued to chase forward.
The enemy doesn't have much room to escape. Arthur should have informed his teammates in the side position, but it really can't be, and if you shoot a flare, you can also make the enemy have nothing to hide.
yes, why didn't Arthur do that? You don't have to maintain the effect for a long time like the ones in the distance, just a moment is enough.
Didn't he think of it? Thinking so, Jack pulled out a flare and threw it into the sky.
"Don't use flares!" As he did so, Arthur looked over and blurted out something like this.
Why? Jack looked at the other party and didn't stop the flare thrown in his hand---- in fact, he had already thrown it, and there was no way to stop it.
It shines in the sky. In an instant, the surroundings were illuminated as if it were day, and the figure who was shot and bleeding was completely displayed in front of them.
Jack saw it clearly, Arthur saw it clearly. Also, the surrounding teammates who noticed the anomaly and the teammates who came to support them also saw it clearly.
That's their deputy head of the regiment, Arnold--- at least a man who looks exactly like Arnold.
The man was holding a rifle, covering his wounds, staring at them with hatred. For a moment, everyone who saw this scene was stunned. And this man, who may have been Arnold, after looking at them for a while, a puff of light smoke came out of his body, and then disappeared without a trace.
What's going on? Was Arnold the one who killed these people?
Jack froze, and involuntarily looked at his companion on the side. Although it was far away, the consternation on their faces and the panic in their eyes could be clearly seen.
"That's fake!" In the distance, Arthur shouted quickly. "When I hit him, it wasn't Mr. Arnold! He's the enemy! It's just a disguise of Mr. Arnold! ”
Oh, I see.
Jack was somewhat relieved. It turns out that the enemy is impersonating Mr. Arnold, which is also too hateful.
Wait a minute.... I do not know... But if that's the case, why didn't you just let me use flares?
Jack looked at Arthur suspiciously, and found that the other party's face was gloomy.
So he walked over. "Did that enemy escape with teleportation magic? You hit him, didn't it interfere? ”
Arthur ignored him, instead looking at his companions in the distance. "What are you still doing here? Go back! Man your posts! ”
Hearing this, the men went their separate ways. After a moment, Arthur turned his head and looked at Jack. "Why fire flares?"
"To help you catch him." Jack explained. "Besides, everyone is here, even if I don't use it, those people will use it..."
"yes...."Arthur's face contorted a few times, and he lowered his head.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"When I hit the other side before." After a while, Arthur spoke. "The battle log suggests that the object I hit was Arnold. Robinson. ”
This.... Jack was a little frightened. "But this... It can't be. Can you see this kind of thing in the battle logs? If Mr. Arnold wants to kill someone, how can he be discovered? Hit by you? ”
"Because I used a homing bomb this time." Arthur said listlessly. "Whoever hurts a dummy made by Dodd, my next bullet will inevitably hit him, and it will be recorded in detail."
"This was originally to find the murderer. I didn't expect it.... It will turn out like this. ”
"I don't know.... But does that mean that it was Mr. Arnold who attacked our classmate? Were all those people killed by Mr. Arnold before? Jack asked.
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Arthur said angrily. "Even if it's another attempt to test us. But both Idler and John passed his test, what does it mean to kill them? With so many people dead, what about the next battle? What if the beast attacks us again? ”
"I don't know," Jack looked at the other person. But if you hit him, will he kill you next? ”
"Not necessarily." Arthur was silent for a while, then pointed to Moritov in the distance. "It's a strange thing, let's go see if this gentleman knows anything."
