The next day, the morning sun was golden in the east, shining on the ember-filled manor.

"Qinglan, what do you want to say?" The man in the suit looked at the little Lori in front of him and straightened his collar.

"The head of the house is gone." Chang Qinglan said.

The man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "It's best to act early in this situation, what are you looking for me to do now?" ”

"Jer." Chang Qinglan raised Leng Ding's eyes and looked at the man in suit in front of him: "Don't you want to explain the assassination of the head of the family before yesterday?" ”

"What do you mean?" Jer's brow furrowed, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

After a night of devastation, Noah's Manor was full of blood-stained ground, and painful wails could be heard everywhere.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm out of company, I need to have a meeting with the other leaders."

Jair gave a few words to the gendarmes on the side, and then prepared to leave.

"Uncle Chang and Chang's mother's affairs, I don't want to investigate..."Chang Qinglan's voice was very cold: "However, I should have said that I can't take action against my family." ”

"What proof do you have?!" Jerle stopped and looked at Chang Qinglan with a frown.

Chang Qinglan ignored it, but continued: "This is not a warning, it is a warning, I hope you can find the head of the family as soon as possible." ”

"Don't you see that I'm busy with all the big and small affairs here?!" Jer's almost angry roar caught the attention of those around him.

Realizing the gaffe, he lowered his head, barely trying to calm himself down.

He walked up to Little Lori: "I didn't know about this attack at all!" ”

But he quickly froze.

The little Lori in front of her, her face was cold, and her eyes were unwavering: "Who cares about you..."

。。。。。。。。。。

In the morning, because of the attack last night, there were significantly fewer stalls, and after walking past a few shops, you could still see that there were military police constantly investigating.

"Player S, are you hungry?" Yan Cheng handed over a piece of dried fish: "The taste is not very good, but this is the only one, if you go back to the base, there should be better." ”

"It's okay." Lu Ming took the dried fish and felt that there was something abnormal in his body.

It's a little cold, obviously early in the morning, Lu Ming guessed that it was very likely that the original owner's old illness had attacked.

"Player S, your face is a little ugly?" Yan Cheng looked at Lu Ming and asked with some concern.

The original owner's illness is not curable, and the disease can only be delayed through medicine, which is also what Lu Ming is more worried about, if the disease recurs again, without Xiao Loli's medicine, it is estimated that it will be quite troublesome.

"It's okay..."

Lu Ming picked up the dried fish and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly heard the noise of a stall not far away.

"Looks like a player." Yan Cheng looked at it and said.

I saw several gendarmes raising their guns at the vendor and shouting loudly for him to put down his guns.

"You NPCs are sick, and they all say I'm not a rebel!" The player has a gun in his hand and shouts.

"The gun you have in your hand is proof, this kind of gun can only be used by the rebels!" The gendarme said in a calm voice.

"This—" The player looked at the gun in his hand, and at this time, he did something that made Lu Ming think that this person was so stupid.

He pointed his gun at several gendarmes.

"I picked up this gun..."

Before the player could finish his sentence, he heard several gunshots, and the health bar in his vision instantly dropped to 0.

The crowd of onlookers screamed in horror and took a few steps back.

"Let's go." Lu Ming felt that it was really unsafe here, and told Yan Cheng to take a different path.

“…… There is another road, which should be a bit far. Yan Cheng's face was a little pale, as if he was frightened.

Because of last night's attack, the top brass has stepped up the search of the rebels.

Lu Ming saw a lot of fallen corpses on the road, and Yan Cheng didn't even dare to raise his head, just silently bowed his head to lead the way.

Suddenly, Lu Ming noticed a familiar figure at the entrance of the alley next to him.

"Player S... What's wrong? Noticing that Lu Ming beside him was gone, Yan Cheng raised his head and found him walking towards the alley not far away.

Lu Ming stopped in front of the girl, and in the shadows, the girl hugged her brother in her arms tightly.

Lu Ming heard a faint sob.

I saw that the little boy in the girl's arms had completely lost his breath, and a large patch of blood stained the boy's chest, oozing all over the girl's hands.

Lu Ming squatted down, the girl's eyes had completely darkened, she just glanced at Lu Ming and hugged the younger brother in her arms tighter.

"Hey, you say, what did we do wrong?" The girl asked.

"From your point of view, you haven't done anything wrong..."Lu Ming said, "For those who want you to die, it is wrong for you to live." ”

"Should be suspected of being a rebel, and—" Iwacheng whispered, standing behind him.

【… We just want to live simply, even if it's just barely alive. 】

……………

[We are living very hard, obviously living so carefully...]

………………

[We obviously didn't do anything wrong, why should we be oppressed by you...]

[Just like a big fish, swimming at the bottom of the sea, people are like fish at the bottom of the sea, the body is just a container, and the shackles of the outside world can never imprison the soul...]

…………

[I want to break out of the cage...]

[Even though there is a vast sea outside...]

………………

……

"S player..."Yan Cheng looked at Lu Ming with some puzzlement.

Lu Ming picked up the boy who was no longer alive.

【Side quest update!】 】

[Side Quest: Protect the Girl (She represents the entire people at the bottom of Dongsheng City, this sea barrier that has become diseased, do you choose to correct it, or ignore it?) ）】

[Hint: Side quests are open, and players can choose to complete them to increase their dungeon rating.] 】

To achieve the S-Score, both the main quest and the side quests must be completed.

The girl lowered her head and silently followed Lu Ming, like a walking corpse.

"Player S, there's dried fish here." Yan Cheng saw what Lu Ming meant, and handed Lu Ming his dried fish.

Lu Ming turned to the dried fish to the girl, and the girl just followed silently, did not eat it, did not throw it, just held it in her hand.

。。。。。。。。。。

Wandering area, some hidden corner.

Yan Cheng pushed open the secret door in the alley, and inside was a bar.

"Player S, this is the stronghold of the Resistance..."Yan Cheng whispered in Lu Ming's ear.

Lu Ming wore a cloak and swept around the bar with his peripheral vision.

Several strong men were drinking shirtless in front of the stage, their eyes met Lu Ming, and one of them made a look at the others.

Soon, several strong men walked towards here.

"Rebuild the clouds, who did you bring here?" The strong man asked Yan Cheng with a smile.

Yan Cheng's voice stuttered a little, and he didn't seem to have figured out how to explain it yet.

"He wanted to join our rebels, so I brought him in."

The reason for the turtle foot...

Lu Ming was a little helpless.

Sure enough, the gang quickly surrounded the two.

"Jianyun, come here! Don't stand with him! The strong man said to Yan Cheng.

"Wait..."Yan Cheng stopped in front of Lu Ming: "He has no malice!" ”

"Don't be naïve." The strong man said in a calm voice: "How can the faces of the people at the bottom be so white? ”

Several people gathered around, each with a weapon in their hands.

"Jianyun, don't forget our goal!"

"Come here now, we can forgive you."

"Did you know that this would expose our stronghold?!"

………………………

Yan Cheng took a few steps back, feeling something on his shoulder, he turned his head, and Lu Ming's hand was on his shoulder.

"S player...," Iwacheng said in a self-reproachful tone.

Lu Ming motioned for him to take the little boy behind him, and looked at the girl next to him: "Take her away first." ”

Yan Cheng knew the strength of the S player and walked away with the girl.

Soon, Lu Ming was surrounded.

"Up!" With a cold snort, several people rushed up.

The next moment.

Lu Ming's eyes moved, and a shadow emerged from the ground, quickly condensing into a human form.

The speed of the shadow was very fast, and before a few people could react, the cold blade had already slashed in front of them.

"Click!"

The sound of blades and sticks clashing sounded.

"It's... How did this person appear?! The strong man at the head was a little caught off guard, and his momentum was half crushed by the shadow.

Seeing this, several other people rushed directly towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's eyes froze, and he used his second skill to strike, dodging the attack while punching the person in the chest.

[Critical Attack Damage: 36 points (double)]

Although it only doubled the damage, it was enough to knock back an adult, and the person who rushed in front flew straight out.

"Die!" A hideous face suddenly flashed behind him, accompanied by a raised machete.

"Scale!"

The machete was blocked by a dagger, and the shadow that was originally in front of him suddenly appeared behind Lu Ming, blocking the fatal blow with the dagger.

But the shadow's strength was limited after all, and the resisting hand gradually trembled, and then, the machete slashed through the dagger and slashed straight at the shadow's arm, and the crimson liquid burst out in an instant.

Sure enough, these high-level people are soft eggs!

The attacker thought to himself, and when he was excited, he suddenly noticed that the young man in front of him had a calm look in his eyes, it was almost like... Dolls?

The next moment, I saw the shadow swing a dagger and slash straight at the severed arm.

The dagger was very sharp, and the power of the shadow was already relatively large, so the entire arm was cut off directly.

The attacker was directly dumbfounded, and before he even had time to withdraw the machete, the cold dagger had already been swung in front of him.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the dagger seemed to be slashed on a steel plate, and it bulleted back, and the strong inertia made the shadow take a few steps back.

"Stop!" A loud shout rang out, very penetrating in the warehouse.

Lu Ming followed the sound and saw a person standing on the steps in the distance, his trench coat fluttering, as if there was air circulating around him.

Gamer...

Lu Ming could see that this was obviously the player's skill, and ordinary NPCs could not have such abilities.

"Big Jace!" Seeing his acquaintance, Yan Cheng's hanging heart also relaxed.

The strong man said a little anxiously: "Second leader, this person is obviously a high-level, don't kill ...... now"

"Let him in." Jace interrupted in a lazy tone: "If he was an enemy, our position would have been exposed a long time ago, and there is no point in killing him now." ”

Several people looked at each other, and even if they were helpless, they could only obey orders.

"Come with me." Jace turned and walked up to the second floor.

"S player, Brother Jace is the third player on the list, and with him protecting us, there is no danger." Yan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Ming remembered that Jace, who was third on the player list, was the leader of the Iron Armor Guild, and thinking of this, he didn't rush to retract his shadow.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

A modest attic with a view of the sea in the distance and a towering wall.

"Lu Ming... S player..."Jace groaned, glancing at the shadow in the doorway, "This must be a shadow, right?" Is it self-conscious? ”

Lu Ming looked around, and asked instead of answering: "You are the second leader of the rebels, and the big boss is also a player?" ”

For people who are currently unclear, he doesn't want to expose himself too much.

Jace was stunned: "This... Don't you know? ”

"I don't know." Lu Ming said directly.

"Well... You'll find out later," Jace said, looking at the girl standing by the window, "Wouldn't that little guy be a player compared to this?" ”

"She's an NPC." Yan Cheng said: "What we saw on the road... Brother Jace, it seems that our operation has failed. ”

"It's not a complete failure." Jaston paused: "You go down and assemble the team first, both the players and the NPCs." ”

"They've just come back..."Yan Cheng was a little puzzled, it didn't take long for the people who had just broken up to get together, and they were going to go out again?

"Now is the time." Jace said.

Yan Cheng nodded: "Okay..."

When he left, he also took the girl away by the way, and Lu Ming asked him to find a place for the girl to live.

The door closed, leaving only Lu Ming and Jace.

"Player S, what are you thinking?" Jace asked suddenly, noticing that Lu Ming's gaze had been looking at him.

"You're not Jace, are you?" Lu Ming spoke slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"Jace is the third player on the list, his skills shouldn't be so ......" Lu Ming paused and thought of a suitable word: "Chicken ribs? ”

"Jace" was stunned for a moment, and finally had some emotion on his lazy face: "It's really worthy of being an S player, and he is so confident to speak......

If you can be so sure, you must have known about it in advance, right? Bloodthirsty Ji told you, right? ”

Lu Ming was silent and did not refute.

"I'm not Jace." The boy directly admitted that he raised his loose eyes: "Let's get acquainted again, Ang Li, vice president of the Iron Armor Guild." ”

"That situation was arranged by Jace?" Lu Ming met the other party's eyes, very calm.

He had such thoughts since Ang Lee appeared, Ang Lee didn't intend to help him, but for some reason, he had to help.

Lu Ming has seen the kind of eyes that want to kill people, but after coming into contact with psychology, his views on some things in the past have changed to varying degrees.

"It's true that I want to kill you, but it's just my own thoughts." Li Ang didn't beat around the bush, he thought that there was no need to lie in front of Lu Ming, because there was no point: "To be honest, I don't understand why Jace and Blooddevouring Ji would want to help you." ”

Lin Jiu can understand, but Lu Ming doesn't know why Jace will help him, according to Ang Lee, he initially wanted to kill himself directly with the help of NPCs, but in the end he helped again.

Maybe there was some reason for him to change his mind halfway.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Yan Cheng's voice came: "Brother Jace, everyone is assembled." ”

"You must be wondering what made me change my mind, right?" On Li An's lazy face, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "It's a win-win situation, a choice that can make us win-win." ”
