Chapter 399: Can't Keep It!
Will he go in?
The door to the tavern was open, and there was silence inside.
At the gate, the lights are warm yellow, reflecting the reflection of the lake in the stagnant water.
"Hoo ......"
An icy wind blew, the rain trickled down, and the tavern sign swayed and creaked in the wind and rain.
No matter how you look at it, this is a trap that is too obvious to be obvious.
If it is a stand-alone game, when you see this scene, normal players will save a file first, so as not to die in it.
Unfortunately, this game is just like life, and there is no option to start over.
Su Xia walked very slowly and steadily.
"Zhuang Ren is right, rainy days are really annoying."
He looked up at the gloomy night sky, reached out to wipe the rain from his face, and felt that his whole body was wet, and his clothes were sticking to his skin, which made people very uncomfortable.
Su Xia likes to lean against the window on a rainy day and enjoy the rain outside the window, or simply lie in bed and listen to the sound of the rain to sleep.
Quite comfortable to sleep on a rainy day.
But he didn't like to get wet in a torrential rain in such a situation.
In addition to the rain, there was also a constant overflow of blood, mostly from his shoulders.
That was the injury that Qi Yu had inflicted on him just now.
Qi Yu's ability is very special, he will leave a special energy in the wound, constantly eroding the wound and preventing the wound from healing.
Even if Su Xia took a few healing potions now, the wound still did not improve.
In other words, Susha is getting weak.
"There is indeed an ambush in the tavern." Su Xia's eyes narrowed slightly.
Outside the tavern, people from other organizations could only guess, but Su Xia could see it clearly.
In the four corners of the first floor of the tavern, there are four "stance devices", all of which are in an open state, waiting for the final activation.
At the tip of the device, a blue glow looms, resembling a blooming blue metallic lotus.
There are four high-level tavern members with psionic level 4 who are responsible for protecting the four stance devices, one of whom is the head of the local tavern, and the other three are estimated to have come from somewhere else during this time.
"These are just four on the surface, and there are many hidden in various locations secretly."
Su Xia sensed that some of the stances, shaped like steel bars, were embedded in the main structure of the tavern, almost avoiding his induction.
There are also some stance devices, which are disguised as table legs, stool legs, bed legs, etc., in an attempt to evade his induction.
The total number of stand devices in the zero zero is roughly calculated, and there are more than fifty.
"With so many stance devices in such a small place, you really look up to me."
In front of Su Xia's eyes, scenes of nanorobots sent back to him appeared.
Not only on the first floor above ground, but also on the basement floor, you can find a stand device.
You must know that when the Stand Device first appeared in Fish Scale City, there were only more than thirty of them, and a large area was blocked.
Moreover, these stand devices may just be what the wheelchair man wants Su Xia to see.
In the invisible place, there should be other back-hands.
The three-dimensional structure of the entire tavern slowly took shape in his mind, from top to bottom, layer after layer, and each floor had a corresponding stance device.
"Broken!"
Su Xia's heart moved, and he used his ability, and before he entered the tavern, he directly crushed the standing devices in the tavern.
Fortunately, these devices are all improved versions and have a stable core energy source.
If it is the original version of the device in Fish Scale City, it will explode directly after it is shattered, and the explosion power is equivalent to a whole piece of psionic explosives, and the people around it will suffer heavy casualties.
As the stance devices shattered, a small number of voices could be heard from inside the tavern.
"How did the device crack?"
"Damn, it's the masked monster who did it, he can actually sense it!"
"Lord Divine Stick has arranged for us to guard these standpoints, what can we do now?"
"Let's go see the other devices......"
“……”
The shattering of the stance device made the interior of the tavern feel a little uneasy.
Although the entire tavern is a trap, the hunter in the trap is not completely sure that he will hunt the masked monster's prey.
If you are not careful, you may be killed by your prey.
Today, the biggest reliance in many people's hearts, the stance device, has been broken.
They had planned to turn on the device the moment the masked monster entered the tavern, turning the entire tavern and its surroundings into a psionic forbidden area, and then hunting for turtles in an urn.
How strong can a masked monster who has lost his psionic abilities be?
They all think so.
Even if two or three people can't beat him, more than a dozen people will go up together and pounce on him, and the pressure can crush him to death!
But the sudden change just now made many people feel a sigh in their hearts and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Oh no, the masked monsters are coming in!"
"Is there a spare stand device?"
"The camouflaged stance device has also been destroyed, damn masked monster, he can actually tell it!"
"Hurry up and ask Lord Divine Stick ......"
Their voices of uneasiness and anxiety echoed through the tavern, shattering the tavern's silence.
It seems that the danger of the trap is much lower.
The gate is still open, and the signboard at the door is shaking.
Is Susha going in?
No, he didn't!
When he was still ten meters from the gate, he suddenly stopped.
His pause made many people's hearts tighten, not knowing what he was going to do.
In the houses on the left and right of the street, everyone's palms were already sweating.
"Why did the masked monster stop?"
"Did you hear that? There was a sound of cracking in the tavern just now, and there were voices coming out, I heard that it was those stand devices. ”
"Sure enough, it was a trap, but unfortunately it was detected by the masked monster."
The Stance Device had shattered under the control of the Masked Monster, so why wasn't he inside?
This question lingered in everyone's minds.
Is there something else in the tavern?
"As long as there is no stance device, the masked monster should come and go freely, and now that the support of the tavern headquarters is too late to rush over, no one in Conch City can keep him at all!"
But Su Xia stopped, stopped ten meters away, no more, no less, and stood quietly in the cold rain.
At that moment, Frank's ugly voice came from the loudspeaker outside the tavern.
"Masked Geek, why did you stop again?" He sneered: "A dog is a dog, you don't even have the guts to kill me, why do you want to kill me?" With your mask monster's face? ”
Hearing this, many people around him gave birth to a nameless fire in their hearts.
If it were them, they might not be able to help it.
Don't care about anything else, rush into the tavern first, and get rid of the guy who has been yelling all the time!
But why hasn't the masked monster moved?
"What are masked monsters waiting for?"
Many people were puzzled and stared intently at Su Xia's figure.
The stance devices have all been shattered by him, what else is there to be afraid of? Didn't he sense all the stance devices with certainty?
Or was the anxious voice just now deliberately coming from the tavern?
When you think about it, this scenario seems likely.
Of course, there is another possibility.
"Is it ......?"
"Is he worried about the automatons?"
Suddenly, someone whispered, mentioning the name of the heart-warming season.
"Yes, the Zero Tavern and the Mechanics have joined forces for the time being, and they will definitely pass on the news of the appearance of the Mask Monster here to the Mechanics, so that the Mechanics will come quickly."
"But it's been so long, and the automatons don't even have a shadow."
"Will they be in ambush in the tavern?"
“……”
If the Masked Monster senses an automaton ambush in the tavern, his current standstill can explain it.
He had just fought the Cyborgs in Seahorse City, and he was one of the people who knew the Mech's abilities best.
Is the reason why he doesn't move forward really because he cares about the auton?
"As long as he doesn't go in, the mechanical creatures in ambush inside won't move for the time being."
"Maybe he's thinking of an escape route?"
"Oh no, if it's really a mechanical race, then we'...... And this town......"
As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed instantly.
With the temper of the autonch, if the ambush fails, what will be the next step?
It's going to bomb the whole town!
The blackened suburb of Seahorse City is a lesson in the past!
Not only this town, but also around the town, within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles, will become a bombing area for the mechanical clan, shrouded in artillery fire, drowned in gunsmoke, and become a forbidden area for life!
At that time, how many of the people present will be able to escape?
The automatons don't care if there are innocent townspeople here!
The members of these organizations present will die on this cold rainy night along with the thousands of residents of this town.
Moreover, since they died in the bombing of the Automaton, their organization did not even dare to ask for compensation for them, and perhaps even their bodies did not dare to go back, at most they held a small funeral for them!
The domineering of the mechanical family, as long as the people who have come into contact with it will have a deep understanding.
"Nope! The Zero Tavern shouldn't be notifying the automatons! ”
"They have hundreds of members in the branch themselves, and what are they going to do if the Automati start bombing? Do you give a masked geek a burial? ”
Perhaps the local leader, along with the few people at the tavern headquarters, had a way to escape from the bombardment of the mechs.
But what about the others?
Once the news spreads, what will the members of the tavern branch in other cities think?
In this day and age, no matter what organization, it has to take care of its own reputation and act with a set of default rules.
"Clean up, notify our superiors first, and prepare for the worst!"
"Okay, it's up to the Zero Tavern to do......"
Everyone's eyes moved, staring at the door of the tavern with warm lights, and they only felt a chill in their hearts.
Zero Tavern, I don't think that's going to do that, right?
Unconsciously, they, the spectators, also fell into a strange and dangerous situation, not knowing when death would come.
"Masked Monster, are you going to stand outside for the night?" Inside the speaker, Frank's taunt was still there.
Inside the tavern, many of the members were not as settled as they used to be.
There was a hint of nervousness on their faces, after all, Su Xia was not far from the door, and the stance device was broken.
Previously, most people thought that the ten killers from the headquarters should be able to exhaust the mask monsters, and with the follow-up guarantee of the position device, it should be foolproof.
But now it seems that they have completely misestimated the strength of the masked monsters.
Three fifth-level creatures were cut off by him like chopping melons and vegetables, and he himself only paid the price of minor injuries!
"Does that wheelchair adult from headquarters have any other backs?"
On the basement floor, many of the official members looked at each other a few times, and they all saw uneasiness and apprehension in each other's eyes.
If this continues, the hunter will really become prey.
"Be ready for battle."
"If the masked monsters do come in, a big battle is inevitable."
A few members swallowed their saliva, wiping their usual weapons and equipment, and a hint of madness appeared in their eyes.
Contrary to what most people thought, what these few members thought was - with so many people, and two adults from the headquarters, could it really be impossible to consume the masked monsters?
Maybe tonight, one of them will take off the head of the masked monster and become the one who will be in the spotlight!
Who doesn't want to be a legend in their lifetime?
"Fight!"
With this kind of thought, there are still many members who want to fight to the death.
Next to the underground hall, in a safe house, the lights were dim, and the man in the wheelchair had his eyes slightly drooping, his index finger tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair, and there was no other expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
The woman in black stood on his left side and asked in a low voice, "Divine stick, what else do you have to arrange, it's time to use it now, right?" ”
The wheelchair man nodded slightly: "No hurry." ”
"What difference does it make if he doesn't get into the tavern?" The woman in black frowned, "What if he enters the tavern?" Do you really want to let him in and respectfully invite him to a glass of wine before fighting? ”
"I want to try his mental bottom line, as well as ...... One of his abilities. ”
The wheelchair man spoke slowly: "Figure out these two points so that I can deal with him later." ”
"What do you mean? Deal with it later? The woman in black asked in a low voice, "Divine stick, can't you kill him with tonight's arrangement?" ”
"I can't kill it."
"At least keep Frank, right?"
"I can't keep it."
"What?"
The woman in black was surprised, they had made a promise to keep Frank!
Although she has some disgust with Frank's garbage, a promise is a promise.
The two of them are here on behalf of the tavern headquarters!
Casually breaking their promises is not only bad for their own reputation, but also affects the reputation of the entire tavern.
Once Frank is dead, who will dare to believe them in the future?
"God, why can't you keep Frank?" The woman in black asked, with some anxiety between her delicate eyebrows.
"The moment the masked monster arrives in town, Frank is dead." The wheelchair man rubbed his eyebrows, "The person who is shouting through the loudspeaker right now can be seen as a corpse." ”
That's already a corpse?
If a person is still alive, how can it be a corpse?
The woman in black was puzzled, is it so difficult to protect someone?
She asked, "Stick, even if the tavern is breached, you can use your mobility ability to take Frank away, right?" ”
The man in the wheelchair shook his head slightly: "I can't take it away." ”
The woman in black asked, "Why?" ”
"My ability takes three seconds to activate, and he already knows that he used it once in front of the masked monster in the Left Eye Group base." The wheelchair man explained.
"Maybe the masked monsters didn't notice?"
"He's a masked geek, not a pig, and not the people at HQ."
“……”
The woman in black gritted her teeth, and a trace of confusion appeared on her face.
Breaking a promise made her feel bad, knowing she should have gone out and dealt with the masked monsters with the ten killers.
The wheelchair man said softly, "Don't think too much, the two of us don't have the ability to hide into the darkness, and we will only drag those ten people down if we go." ”
"God, you're reading my mind again?" The woman in black frowned, not liking this feeling.
"No, just speculation."
"Well, what now? Wait? ”
"I don't think we can wait long."
The man in the wheelchair took a slow breath, seemed to be a little weak, and held on to his spirits, looking at the screens in front of him.
On the first screen, the masked monster is standing on the street.
He knew full well that this image was something that the masked monsters wanted them to see.
If the Masked Geek is unwilling, the moment he arrives in the town, he can destroy the entire town's electrical infrastructure and turn the members of the tavern blind.
Outside, in the halls, Frank didn't seem to realize it.
He is confident in the protection of the Zero Point Tavern.
"Masked geeks really don't dare come in?"
Seeing the scene outside, Frank felt more confident and thought that the masked monster was scared.
Therefore, he took the microphone and shouted harder outside: "Hehe, masked monster, they all say that you are a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, why are you afraid of even a tavern branch now?"
】
"If you don't have the courage to come in, just turn around and get out of the way, get far away, don't come in this life! Don't make me look down on you!
"Some people's reputation seems to be inversely proportional to their courage......"
Shouting and shouting, he felt that his throat was a little dry and hoarse, so Shi Shiran picked up a glass of red wine and moistened his throat.
Half a glass of wine is in the stomach, and the dryness and sweetness of the red wine explode in the mouth.
Comfortable!
Frank sighed, when he killed the masked monster, he must come to the tavern more often, the drinks here are indeed not ordinary.
Then, he coughed lightly, picked up the microphone, and shouted triumphantly, "Masked Geek, I'm here, you come in!" ”
"I've come in."
A cold voice suddenly exploded in his ears, scaring him into death!
Frank's eyes widened as he saw all the tavern members in front of him staring at him, or rather behind him, each with a look of fear or shock on their faces.
Behind him!
