Chapter 31: The Shadows

School Building No. 1, rooftop, rooftop.

Zhang Heng stood on the edge of the rooftop, wearing the tight-fitting combat uniform, but wrapped a pitch-black leather trench coat over the combat uniform.

The bitter wind blowing from afar made his trench coat hunt, and in the air, the intention of killing gradually rose.

Pink cherry blossom petals carried up to the rooftop in the midday wind and landed on the back of the large black bow he was carrying.

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

Before coming to this devil's game, Zhang Heng was just an ordinary little white-collar worker, working from 8 to 9 in the morning every day, but his income was meager.

After coming to the devil's game, the first novice mission, it also took him a few times to pass......

In the middle of that, Zhang Heng really experienced death.

After the newbie mission, he returned to the real world in a bit of a daze, when he heard that only 300 million people in the world had this ability to travel between the devil's game and the real world...... He knew that this was his only chance.

Because of the family environment, because he was not motivated since he was a child, because of his laziness, because of his sluggishness...... When he walked out of that third-rate university at the age of twenty-two and took his first breath, Zhang Heng understood that he had lost the race of life.

After that, he spent several more years of life that made people feel extremely bored, and felt that his whole person had become numb......

Now, the opportunity is back in front of him.

Everyone is just starting out in this game, and there is not much difference...... In this game, the starting line is equal...... If you work hard in this devil's game......

I might be able to change my face.

……

The above is Zhang Heng's thoughts.

He died in the novice mission, and he really experienced death; He and his girlfriend made it through the first mission, and although it was not highly rated, he survived and had 300 exchange points......

Zhang Heng understands that today, he is far beyond mortals.

"This is a quest...... No matter how you say it, you have to score a B! ”

Zhang Heng stood on the rooftop, commanding himself in a tone of ruthless demand, and said this sentence in an unwavering tone.

The difficulty of this quest was unprecedented...... Protect the target from the invasion of supernatural forces, and keep them from noticing any supernatural powers......

Obviously, the people who are responsible for the attack in this mission are basically Zhang Heng and Xu Ran. Qin Feng, Su Qiqiao, and that muscular Han Wang Lu are basically just short-range and medium-short-range aggressive characters, and they are more suitable for escorting Sakura and punching and kicking in the dark.

The real main attacker, the people who can really show their skills as much as possible, are still Zhang Heng and Xu Xuanran!

Only they, in this quest, are most likely to do it...... Kill the enemy invisibly.

They are the real main force in this dungeon!

Zhang Heng looked at the rooftop, the slightly ancient buildings in Cherry Blossom Town, and also with the peaceful atmosphere of a border town, were scattered and arranged. What catches your eye is the cherry blossoms in full swing planted in the green belt.

Although the town may seem peaceful and peaceful, it is still full of dangers.

Zhang Heng silently took out a camouflage-colored military telescope from his space bag. He got this telescope from the real world. He was originally a military fan, and he had folding knives, butterfly knives, and a few card knives with little practical use at home, as well as other forms of cold weapons and military equipment.

After the devil's game began, munitions and compressed food became extremely scarce, and the price increased tenfold or even hundredfold almost instantly. Fortunately, Zhang Heng usually has some weapons and military supplies, otherwise he will definitely be blind in the next devil game......

Zhang Heng put on his telescope and twisted the front lens barrel to make the field of vision in the telescope clear.

There was nothing weird about him within range.

"Huh......?" Zhang Heng took out a piece of beef jerky from his space bag and chewed it, while looking at the prompt in the menu that the main quest had been updated.

[The main quest has been updated: Someone in your squad has discovered the exact location of Kato Sakura, and the target character discoverer: Xu Xuanran. 】

[Current main quest: Protect Sakura until one day later, remaining time: 23 hours and 11 minutes.] 】

"It's still very powerful!"

Zhang Heng tore off a section of beef jerky and smiled happily.

In fact, Xu Ran didn't contribute much in this process. At that time, it was the end of the second class of Dagong High School, and he, Xu Ran and Su Qiqiao asked those passing students at the school gate, and then asked the exact location of Sakura.

Even if it was who asked, it was asked by Su Qiqiao, a woman who was lucky enough to do it......

But don't men always favor their girlfriends?

"Next, it's time for Qin Feng and Su Qiqiao to take over Ran's position," Zhang Heng chewed on another bite of beef jerky, "But, what exactly do the hostile creatures in this copy look like......"

Qin Feng was the kind of person who began to think about things as soon as he entered the dungeon, began to plan, began to try to contact the things in this dungeon, and kept thinking about the hidden crises in the dungeon, thinking about the abnormalities of those supernatural creatures...... Unlike Qin Feng, Zhang Heng didn't have so many brains, and basically just followed the clues.

Wherever you go, you don't know if the clues can't be wrong.

He is the one who can be deceived by the illusion of redundancy and confusion.

Even so, he understood that he needed to figure out the enemies in this dungeon......

"Huh...... What's there? ”

Zhang Heng held the binoculars and looked into the distance.

If you look at it from the roof of the No. 1 teaching building of the University of Technology, the overall layout of Sakura Town is orderly, although there are a few places that are slightly scattered, but the overall layout is quite regular, like a chessboard.

The reason for this situation is that the town has never planned its streets many years ago, and has never expanded or renovated it since; There have been no major projects that occupy the block.

This situation is enough to show that this area is remote and underdeveloped.

In the center of Zhang Heng's perspective, there is a long and narrow street about three meters wide, sparsely populated cars, vans parked on the side of the street, bicycles and motorcycles are slightly more but also limited.

There are no pedestrians on the street.

But there is a strange humanoid creature walking slowly......

The creature looked like a human, but it was pitch black and emitted an eerie black smoke. Zhang Heng immediately took the telescope and observed carefully:

In the telescope, the creature could be seen more clearly. It emitted black smoke and should be two meters tall compared to the streetlights, trees and vehicles on the side of the road. Although it is humanoid, it has strange multi-knuckled limbs, and its feet and hands are all three-segmented, like the hands and feet of a spider. In addition, the joints of its hands and feet are abnormally swollen, so it appears that its hands and feet are very slender......

The creature had no expression, only breath. And at this moment, he was walking at an extremely slow pace that was close to that of an old man......

This thing is about 170 meters away from Dagong High School.

[Side quest has been updated: Someone in your team has discovered the exact location of the supernatural creature Black Shadow, Black Shadow Discoverer: Zhang Heng. 】

[Current Side Quest (1): Kill the Black Shadow!] (0/15) Incomplete】

"OK, it looks like this is a dark shadow."

Zhang Heng's eyes were quick, he took off the belt of the bow and arrow that bound him, put one hand on the bow and arrow, and the other hand silently put it on the bowstring......

【Demon Breaker Bow】

This is a personal weapon that Zhang Heng obtained from the main god, which is equivalent to the "blood of the ancient demons" obtained by Qin Feng and the "nameless sword" obtained by Su Qiqiao. In the main god's large database, these items are considered to be the most compatible items for that contestant.

Indeed, although Zhang Heng has never learned bow and arrow, nor has he reported to the archery club, his shooting talent is indeed first-class.

And when he touched this [Demon Breaking Bow], he did feel the affinity that came from his blood and bones.

It seems that as long as he holds this bow, he can shoot the sky with a long arrow and shoot the sun with a bow!

Draw the bow......

On the pitch-black frosted arch back, the translucent pink cherry blossom fell.

Qi was in place, his arms straightened, and he followed the bow's own guidance, and put his mind on the enemy he wanted to shoot.

Even if there is no telescope, even if there is no infrared fixed point, even if it is just a big bow, even if it is just an energy condensing arrow, even if Zhang Heng is standing one hundred and seventy meters away from the target, the black shadow is just a small dot in his retina......

So what?!

"Drink!"

Zhang Heng's face froze, his eyebrows locked, let go, bowstring bullet arrows!

One hundred and seventy meters away, the black shadow fell to the ground, and his heart was stunned by the arrow!

Then, in just three seconds, it turned into smoke and dust, like a burned corpse, and when it was blown by the wind, it dispersed......

[The Black Shadow has been killed, Killer: Zhang Heng.] 】

"Hmm...... According to the side quest, there are a total of fifteen dark shadows. Zhang Heng pinched his chin and looked around suspiciously, "But in my field of vision, there is only one black shadow." ”

"If there is only one black shadow in my field of vision, it means that the other fourteen are somewhere else......" Zhang Heng said silently, "I'll scout in a circle, hoping to find more black shadows......
