Properties Panel

[Name: Luther]

[Race: Terran]

[Class: Trialist +]

[Strength: 18+10 (10)]

[Dexterity: 17+10 (10)]

[Wisdom: 25+10 (10)] [Normal adult years in parentheses]

[Combat Strength: 619]

[Trial-of-the-ground rankings: data unavailable]

[Only personal attributes are calculated with bare hands, and when holding a weapon, it is increased according to the normal focal algorithm]

Luthor browsed the properties panel, frowning

Why didn't his attributes rise, he obviously felt that his body became more flexible and his strength increased.

When holding a weapon, increase according to the normal focus algorithm?

What is the focal algorithm?

Your own three attributes plus ten are attached to Kenshin?

The game doesn't have any information about the item's attributes, perhaps because Luther's game isn't normal, so there are no item stats displayed.

The skill of the battle is Kenshin's weapon skill and effect

His stats have not increased significantly

What does the plus sign after the title of occupation mean? Luthor nodded, and nothing changed.

"Hey"

sighed, as if he had gotten used to it

There are 99+ in the game's hints

All are alerts when the undead bite.

It was too hard to get information from the game panel he was carrying, and Luthor could only smile wryly.

Glanced at Jack. I remembered the apocalyptic image of the town I saw in the nameless space, and I wondered.

"Why did I end up in the town?"

"How many do you see?"

"All!"

All the fragments in the nameless space were shattered into starlight by him and drilled into his body.

Organize the information on the fragments

The whole truth of the coming of the Seven Sons was in his mind

Seven species that have invaded from outer space descend on the town

They are not a single group, they belong to different species and arrive in the town at different times and batches.

The Dead Whisperer was the first to arrive, hiding in the town decades ago, and it was the signatory of the dark pact of the Church Nightmare, because it was too different from the arrival time of the other children of darkness, so there was no major move.

The end of the world was first started by the appearance of the ghostback tarantula,

The ghost back tarantula first appeared after the factory workers died and the factory closed, and the spider queen led the spider colony to occupy the factory.

Later, the Dead Whisperer entered the cemetery, took Daddy Jack's body, and turned into the corpse of the tomb keeper who kept awakening the sleeping corpse

A black-backed green-haired crocodile appeared in the river west of the town, and a group of crocodiles occupied the Hexi area of the town, causing panic in the Hexi area.

The upper river food factory is occupied by various giant insect swarms.

The West Side School has been invaded by undead apes that feed on carrion.

The church murder was the trigger

Since then, swarms of ghostback tarantulas and beetles have begun to appear in the streets of the town, and bare-handed humans have been torn apart in front of the swarm's razor-sharp claws

The army of the undead appeared in the town at the same time as the black-backed green-haired crocodile group and the undead ape spirit

The town is divided among the five major races

Seven dark xenomorphs descended

Appears the fifth

The end times took place three months after the events of the church

Two other Children of Darkness, one of the orc-like species, appeared in a starship on Doomsday

What about the other one?

The last child of darkness seems mysterious

Luthor racked his brains and didn't realize that there were other races

Didi..

The quest prompt sounds

[Mission Time Remaining: 52 hours]

52 hours left!

so

The mission deadline should be the same day as the end of the town

The first five races must be eradicated within 52 hours

The swarm of ghostback tarantulas is gone

The army of the undead will not reappear at this moment

There are also three races

There are others on the mission record, SSS-class Nolan and Vladimir...

"Jack!"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"How many Children of Darkness are left?"

"Think about it..."

Jack pondered for a moment and said.

"We have no contact with the swarm, the undead apes, and the crocodiles!"

“...”

After a pause, he added

"Although most of the dark people have been killed, I don't know if there are any left!"

Luther nodded

Think about it

There are still 4 hours to go

It's time to rush to the crocodiles

After dealing with the crocodile, go back to the town to evacuate the crowd and wait for the orc starship to arrive.

"Go help the others.."

"Now?"

"Otherwise, it's too late! Let's go! ”

Jack picked up his broadsword and nodded.

.......

The two of them quickly shuttled through the night

Jack looked at Luthor from time to time, and Luther's experience of coming back from the dead gave him a whole new feeling, and he couldn't tell what it was, it seemed

Reliable? Or become calm?

It's a good thing after all!

Luther, on the other hand, is not slowing down at the moment

But his brows were furrowed

There was a question in his mind that had been bothering him

The apocalypse he saw in the space he entered was exactly the same as what Jack said

But Jack in the video is obviously a child

The game is the same as the child of darkness in the image

The end is the same as the mission time

Except for Jack's age, everything he experiences in the game is the same as in the fragmented images

Jack says that the end of the town is real

He is the identity of the player, so what he means is that there is such a town in the real world?

And there was also a doomsday invasion?

Luthor doesn't believe it!

A similar event occurs in a small town in the real world

It was already reported on the news

The state will also send military force to annihilate these xenomorphs

What Jack said should be in the game

But in the game and in the video, Jack's age doesn't match!

It's a contradiction!

Scratching his head, his heart was a mess

"You said the end had happened! Is it real? ”

Luther stared into Jack's eyes

As long as Jack lies

Luthor could have judged in an instant

But Jack wasn't flustered in any way

Seems depressed

"Well, so I'm sorry to bother you!"

He shook his hands, and the bruises on his fists flared up, and the hatred of these xenos made him a little reckless.

"It's okay... I'm not pretty good right now! ”

"But I haven't heard any reports in reality?"

"That's... Because... Zizi.."

Just as Luthor waited for Jack's answer

Jack like triggering an electric current

The whole person became stiff

Incomplete data transmission of body shapes

Transition between solidity and nothingness

Is it a limit?

Is the relationship between the end of the town and reality a secret?

Still is?

Luthor didn't get what he wanted, and Jack was normal after a moment

A wry smile is revealed

"I can't say it, it's restricted!"

"Got it!"

Luthor nodded silently

The dark race that appeared in the end of the town, Luthor has not heard of it in the real world, maybe he has seen a lot of it in novels and movies, but since Jack is a player, he is sure that the end of the world is real, and he is restricted from telling Luthor about the connection between the end of the world and reality.

Luthor had already made a conclusion at this point

First: Jack is not a player but an NPC, perhaps the author of the game set it this way to make the game more realistic.

Second: the game is really connected to reality, but it is definitely not an alien race that appears in the apocalyptic imagery

The first is more likely, after all, he has lived for 25 years and has never encountered anything bizarre

The only time I entered the game for no reason and couldn't quit.

After figuring it out

Looking at Jack's gaze again, it became complicated

An NPC who thinks he is human

What a sad thing

It reminded him of the various movies he had watched about robots

After the sentient robot discovers that it is not human

Begin to take revenge on their own producers in a frenzy

.....

Belch...

The body shook

Never tell him

He is the truth of the NPC

He's going to go crazy if he's in charge

Luthor felt like a saint who saved the suffering

Sympathy for NPCs in the game

Looking at Jack, his gaze softened

Jack is hairy by Luthor, unaware that Luthor has decided from the bottom of his heart that he is an NPC, a mess of data and code.

If only he knew

Will definitely find Luthor desperately

He's been through a world

An apocalypse

And here everything in the apocalypse is restored to the game.

So he became a player again

He couldn't tell the connection between the game and reality

From the very beginning of the game's production, the producer warned him

Don't give out any information

All the connections between the town and the real world are buried in the heart

He couldn't say anything

Luther couldn't understand

Everything is like a ball of yarn that has been deliberately crumpled

The two were tearing at both ends

Finally, the yarn was wrapped tighter and more difficult to separate

.......

Both sides have their own agendas

Nothing to say all the way

From the cemetery to the Hexi area, close to the crocodile area

Luthor didn't pull out Kenshin

From the heart of the sword can be stored in the heart

It became so bright that it was like a lighthouse in the dark of night

Before the battle, Luthor was empty-handed

"Lend me a gun!"

Empty-handed, no attack is a no-go

Without the slightest hesitation, Jack unloaded his holster and threw it at Luther

If it was the previous Luther, he wanted the Crimson Empress

Jack refused ironcladly

But at this point, he came back from the brink of death, making Jack believe more and more what Nolan had told him

Luthor is the key to ending the apocalypse!

As if to make a decision, Jack suddenly raised his hand to Luthor very formally

"It's called the Crimson Queen, and it's not using ordinary ammunition, you can feel it when you hold it tightly."

"I gave it to you, please cherish it"

"Send... Give it to me? ”

Luthor was surprised, he didn't know how important this ivory pistol was to Jack, but he never used it lightly, and often wiped the barrel of the gun.

This Scarlet Empress must have had a special meaning for him

Give it to me?

Does it mean anything special?

"Yes, for you! Not to apologize, but you need the ability to attack from a distance, and it will help you! ”

With that, he waved his hand for Luthor not to hesitate

Take the ivory pistol

For the first time, Luthor looked at it closely

The ivory handle is tattooed with roses with purple gold patterns, and the barrel appears to be monolithic, not steel, with an unknown metal glowing reddish.

Hold the handguards tightly

The tight fit between the palm and the handle of the gun made Luthor feel like an extension of his body

Press the reload button to remove the magazine

The magazine is not an ordinary metal bullet

Rather, it is twenty red metal squares arranged in a neat row

"This is? Ammunition? ”

"What if this runs out!"

Luthor showed the magazine

"It's made of crystals from the skull of a black-backed crocodile, and its crystal nucleus contains a huge amount of energy, just enough to be used to make ammunition!"

"Crocodile? Crystal nucleus? ”

At this moment, I am not standing in the area where the black-backed crocodiles are active

That is, in an ammunition depot?

Luther's eyes were strange

Whatever you want!

Stuff the magazine in, load

Hold on to the Crimson Queen

It feels the same as when you hold Kenshin

Armor-piercing attack? Comes with a fire effect? Demon breaker?

One message after another came flooding back to my mind

Hahaha

Such a powerful skill

It's mine now!

If Jack was a soft girl, Luthor would definitely come up and kiss her.

It's a lucky star!

...

Take a shower in the rain of bullets! Little crocodile!
