Chapter 323: Only on the Edge of Life and Death Can We Break Through

"Brother, you have to think about it."

Bartender Ah Feng put Su Xia on the shoulder and whispered: "Wang Teng is strong and cunning, and the boss may not be able to deal with it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Liu Jinjia, a fifth-level creature next to the bar.

This elder has been sitting in a big city in the north all the year round, and this time he came to see his apprentice Liu Yinjia, and by the way, he participated in the hunt for masked monsters.

He is known for his bad temper and is extremely strong, even if he didn't know him before, this time he was known through the tragic destruction of several gangs.

Su Xia smiled: "I didn't really want to kill Wang Teng, I just took on a mission." ”

Bartender Ah Feng said, "But I always feel like you're just going to try it." ”

"What, could it be that your psionic talent has something to do with perception?"

"It's not...... I haven't awakened my psionic talent yet, and I don't know what year or month it will awaken......"

Speaking of his talent, Ah Feng sighed that a strong talent can often change a person's life.

However, many psionic creatures fail to awaken their psionic talents until they die, and this kind of thing can only be determined by luck.

Legend has it that the Cybtrons once asked Anlo to develop a special method to stimulate the awakening of every psionic creature.

If it can really succeed, then every mechanical individual will be able to awaken, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

But for this kind of request, Anluo Company also said that it is powerless, let alone psionic energy, and even the old-fashioned energy source of oil has not been thoroughly studied.

"Little boss, have you awakened?" Bartender Ah Feng asked Liu Tongjia.

"It's difficult, let's see the opportunity."

Liu Tongjia shook his head, he also didn't wake up.

It's okay that I haven't awakened all the time, but I'm afraid that I will awaken useless talents in the future.

"I still have something to do, let's talk slowly."

After chatting a few words, Liu Tongjia took out his identity card from the self-service machine and followed his master Liu Yinjia out to do the task.

There is a fourth-level creature store manager master, thinking that he should be very smooth in the early stage, and there will not be too much danger.

After he left, the bartender Ah Feng whispered, "I've heard that many people's psionic talents are awakened on the verge of life and death. ”

"Breakthrough on the edge of life and death?" Su Xia was stunned, "Isn't this the treatment that only the protagonist has?" ”

"yes."

Not everyone is the protagonist, even if it is difficult to rub the opportunity of the protagonist, most people are just passers-by in life.

There are not many creatures that have awakened psionic talents, and many of the creatures that Su Xia has encountered before have awakened their talents, and that is because he has been playing high-end games all the time, and he has not touched the suffering of low-level creatures.

Many of the members of the North Wind Organization have been on the verge of life and death for a long time, and the probability of awakening will be greater than normal.

"Well, I've been a psionic creature for almost three years." Ah Feng inexplicably sighed a little more, "If anyone can help me awaken my spiritual talent, I am willing to recognize him as a big brother and follow him for the rest of my life." ”

"Then I wish you an early awakening." Susha said.

"Brother, what about you?" Ah Feng asked.

"I haven't woken up, and I'm still a pool of stagnant water."

"It seems that they are all difficult brothers, I'll treat you to a drink!"

"Excuse me? That kind of wine just now? ”

"No, it's a high-grade medicinal wine sent from the eastern city." Ah Feng smiled awkwardly, "That wine is too expensive, I can't even afford to drink it myself, you don't know how envious I was just now, you can actually be invited to drink by Boss Hu." ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Su Xia thoughtfully, took out the identity card from the self-service machine, and carefully put it away, this card is related to his tens of millions of bounties.

He glanced at the time, it was not early, and he refused Ah Feng's glass of wine.

"There's something else, I'll come back and drink when I'm done, and I'll go buy some news."

"Okay."

It was working time, Ah Feng nodded, and took Su Xia back to the elevator.

The two took the elevator back to the first floor on the ground floor.

This time, as a registered member, Su Xia bought more related news, such as the previous ones with the [lock] symbol.

One of the locked messages recorded speculation about the identity of the masked monster at the Zero Tavern.

[Identity conjecture 1: Coral City Pharmacy Daddy]

[Reason: The masked monster first appeared in Luoxing Town, a suburb of Coral City, and the subsequent events were all related to Coral City, and it is very likely that he is a strong man who has lived in Coral City for a long time...... As one of the most mysterious creatures in Coral City, Daddy is powerful ......]

【……】

The first conjecture was similar to what Su Xia thought.

Not only did the Zero Tavern suspect that Daddy was a masked geek, but the Cymtons must have also suspected it, otherwise Yu Tuo would not have come to the pharmacy several times in person.

After Daddy's disappearance, this speculation gradually spread, and many people in the player community thought so.

On the forum, there are even players who have a special post to analyze the similarities between Daddy and the Mask Monster, what Daddy is hiding, whether Pharmacist Su knows Daddy's secret identity, and so on.

In Su Xia's private messages, he was also asked similar questions, and even several roommates asked him, but he answered all of them - I don't know.

As his father's apprentice, Su Xia seemed very innocent.

Because he's a gamer.

It is generally accepted that the player cannot be a Mask Monster.

The reason is also very simple, if Su Xia pretends to be a masked monster at night and practices pharmaceutical techniques during the day, then when will he rest? His day was not forty-eight hours.

Unless he hangs, it can't be.

Susha continued to look down.

[Identity guess 2: Iron Fist Golden Wolf]

[Reason: Three years ago, the 'Iron Fist Golden Wolf', a high-ranking member of the tavern who can also control metal, suddenly disappeared, and his strength before his disappearance was close to level 5......]

[When the masked monster first appeared, his strength was about the first level of the third level, and then it grew rapidly, and the last appearance was close to the fifth level, it is not difficult to judge - the mask monster may have been extremely strong, but for some reason he lost part of his strength, such as being caught by the mechanical clan to extract psionic energy, ......]

【……】

Iron Fist Golden Wolf, this is a relatively unfamiliar title.

There are too many masters in the Zero Point Tavern, and every once in a while new masters are born, and there are constantly masters missing.

Those who disappeared, some of them were just tired of the life of killing, and lived a life of leisure incognito.

Some of them are really planted.

For example, this iron fist golden wolf, everyone thinks that he died in a sea storm when he was on a sea escort mission three years ago, but his body has never been found, so he was judged to be [missing].

No matter how strong the strength of the individual is, before the storm of nature roars, it is as fragile as an ant.

Before Su Xia became famous, the Iron Fist Golden Wolf was the most famous possessor of metal abilities.

Next, there are several others who are speculated to be masked monsters.

They, like the Iron Fist Golden Wolf, are all missing.

Some have not shown the ability to control metal, but as long as they awaken their talents, they may have a certain probability of winning this ability.

"Iron fist golden wolf, this old man is really a pity." Bartender Ah Feng sighed, "Three years ago, when I first became a psionic creature, he also took me on a mission, and he had extremely strong metal ability, and he came and went like the wind, no less than the current masked geek. ”

"Do you think it's possible him?" Susha asked.

"It's very likely, it's just impossible to explain where he went in the three years he went missing...... Was it really caught by the automatons? ”

To date, many psionic beings have disappeared in connection with the automatons.

Everyone knows it, but few dare to point it out publicly.

After all, this is an era when everyone is in danger, and no one wants to be targeted by the mechanical people.

Time passed quickly, and it came to twelve o'clock at noon in a flash.

After reading all the news, Su Xia returned to the common area on the first floor.

At this time, the atmosphere on the first floor was lively, and the smell of wine was overflowing, and the group of people who had gone out to hunt the mask monsters had returned, all of them in high spirits, their faces flushed, and they boasted loudly while drinking.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the corridor cubicle, Su Xia heard the drunken roars of several people.

"Almost!

"It's really just a little bit worse this time!"

"I'm almost touching the corner of the masked monster's coat, but he still runs away!"

"I will definitely catch ...... next time"

“……”

A few of them had drunk so much that they couldn't speak clearly, their tongues seemed to be knotted, and in the end, all that was left in their mouths was a wild yell.

There were also people who were conscious, sitting in the crowd, and seriously recounting the scene of the chase just now.

It was a thrilling, crisis-ridden, and heart-wrenching scene.

“…… At that time, the masked monster came into close contact with me, and the sword collided, and the psionic energy exploded, and it was only half an inch away that my sword could seal his throat, and his sword pierced me in the heart...... Maybe it's because heroes cherish heroes, we both collected our weapons at the same time, and we staggered by, and he drifted away......"

"So dangerous?"

Many people listened attentively, and the picture of the sword and sword shadow kept coming to mind, and after a long time, they felt that it was exquisite.

After listening to this, some people felt that they still knew too little about the masked monsters.

If you can get to know him better, you might be able to succeed this time.

As a result, more people came to buy news and materials.

"I want information about the masked monsters, all the information!" Someone found the bartender Ah Feng, with a tone that was not bad for money.

Ah Feng regained his business smile and said seriously, "Is the guest a registered member of the tavern?"

The man shook his head, "No. ”

Ah Feng said: "If you are not a registered member of the tavern, you will not be able to access important information. ”

The man asked, "Can't you buy it?" ”

Feng: "No...... However, the registration procedure is very simple, and if the guest wishes......"

He began to recruit people to enlist in the army again, and he was very skilled in business.

On the ground floor, in addition to him, there are many bartenders and waiters who are doing the same.

Seeing this, Su Xia didn't stay longer and left the tavern.

He didn't get the news he wanted here in the tavern, and he didn't even find a trace of Daddy's team.

The Zero Tavern didn't know as much as Su Xia knew the inside story, and he didn't even write out the real reason why the mechanical clan closed down the pharmacy, nor did he say anything about "hybrid test subjects".

Of course, perhaps because the information is so classified that only the tavern higher-ups know about it.

"It's time to go see those people."

Su Xia stood at the gate of the tavern, clicked on the quest [Buried in a Strange Land], and found the location of several targets in Seahorse City.

These targets live very closely, just outside the east of the city, probably in an area of the outer third ring road, but it saves Su Xia from running all over the city.

He flagged down a car in front of the tavern and took a taxi to his destination.

While in the car, Su Xia asked the taxi driver: "Master, how about the third ring road outside the east of the city?" ”

"The lad is an out-of-tlander?" The taxi driver asked.

"Well, come to Seahorse City to find relatives." Susha replied.

"It's not a good place, it's all homeless people who joined Seahorse City later, young man, you have to be mentally prepared."

The driver thought that Su Xia couldn't get along outside, so he came here to join relatives.

"Well, thank you ......"

Su Xia looked out the window and thought silently.

It seems that few of the family members of the Old North Wind organization are doing well, and all of them live in slums, refugee camps, sewers, and downtown areas, and their lives are very difficult and difficult.

It's normal to think about it, and it takes suffering to make a team like that.

How many of those who live a good life are willing to rebel?

If you can eat and eat big meat every day, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, few people will be willing to change the status quo, and even the rebels have many people like Zhao Si who are not determined.

"I'll rest for a while, and call me when you arrive, master." Su Xia estimated the time, and it would take about half an hour to arrive.

"Well, don't worry, young man."

"Hmm."

Su Xia leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes, and clicked offline.

He returned to this side of the earth, quickly got out of bed, left the dormitory, ran to the cafeteria, solved lunch as fast as he could, and hurried back to the dormitory.

Several roommates have gone out to experience the VR hive, and the dormitory is empty and quiet.

Su Xia brushed her teeth, then went back to bed, activated the bracelet, and went online again.

In the game world, taxis are still running smoothly.

"It should be almost there." Su Xia glanced at the time, silently clicked on the minimap, and checked his location.

Wrong......

How can you get farther from your destination?

Su Xia's face turned cold, and he almost took out a knife and came out, thinking that the driver was engaged in kidnapping and trafficking.

But it immediately occurred to him that if he really wanted to kidnap him, he should also be knocked unconscious first.

"I've met a greedy man for money." Su Xia quickly figured out that the driver heard that he was a foreigner and was not familiar with the local area, so in order to make a few more money, he actually took him around the city.

Even if you pit money, Su Xia doesn't care about this money, the main thing is that it is a waste of time, and time is much more precious than money.

He pulled out a card and flicked it on his fingers.

"Hugh—"

With a bang, the taxi's meter was split in two by a rapidly spinning card, the line broke, and sparks flew everywhere.

The driver who was driving trembled, almost didn't even hold the steering wheel firmly, and said tremblingly: "Young man, you ...... What are you doing? ”

"Master, trouble faster, I'm in a hurry." Su Xia said firmly.

"Yes......"

The driver's face turned pale, swallowed his saliva, and realized that he had met a ruthless person, and he didn't dare to think about anything else.

Su Xia said again: "Master, there are a lot of outsiders who have come recently, and some of them are outlaws, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Understood, understood......"

The world of the driver still belongs to ordinary people, there is no fighting, and there should be no intersection with the world of the masked monster.

Su Xia's words saved his life.

If he continues to slaughter customers like this, if he slaughters a bad-tempered foreign killer, his life will probably be in danger.

On the map, the small red dots representing Su Xia finally began to approach the small gray dots displayed by the targets.

The high-rise buildings gradually became fewer and fewer, and the further out they went, the more desolate they became, and the only low-rise bungalows left outside the car window were gray at a glance.

"Didi—"

Suddenly there was a horn sound behind him, and it rang several times in a row.

The driver looked nervous, hurriedly took the steering wheel, drove to the right side of the lane, and gave way to the fast lane on the left.

Soon, several old trucks sped by, and the wheels spun fast.

The taxi was not as fast as the truck, Su Xia couldn't help but remind: "Master, take it easy, nervousness will cause your muscles to stiffen and your body to stiffen." ”

"Yes, yes, I understand......"

The driver smiled reluctantly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the handkerchief next to him.

The speed of the car could not go up, and it was not until half past one in the afternoon that Su Xia finally arrived at his destination.

The third ring road outside the east of the city is a place where a large number of poor people live.

Seahorse City was founded by refugees, and the first people who built the city received a lot of benefits, and when the population was sufficient, there was little benefit for the refugees who joined later.

Su Xia got out of the car, the sun outside was a little pale, he squinted his eyes and looked ahead.

"It's not bad, it's clean and tidy, life should be fine."

Although it is a place for the poor, it is not as messy as the slums of Coral City, but rather neat and orderly.

The gray concrete resettlement houses stand in front of them, which look very dense, and the quality of life may not be high, but at least they can shelter from the wind and rain, which is much better than iron sheds and rotten plastic sheds.

Su Xia noticed that the old big trucks that had just overtaken were also parked on the outskirts of this area.

He took out the fare, handed it to the driver, and asked by the way: "Master, do you know these trucks?" ”

"It's the city lord's convoy." The driver answered immediately.

"The city lord's convoy is so dilapidated?"

"No, no, I heard that his son set it up privately, specializing in pulling aid supplies for the poor."

Taxi drivers are a living database of a city, traveling around the city every day, meeting different people, and often knowing many things that ordinary people don't know.

Su Xia nodded silently, he had heard Cheng Men talk about the city lord's son before.

That's an alternative.,Instead of enjoying a rich life.,Instead of worshipping the masked monster.,Like to act like the masked monster.,Not long ago, I was caught at the Zero Point Tavern.。

"There are still such people in the world."
