Chapter 190: Kyoto Copy
On February 15, it was nearly night, in the town of Lyukan, Norway.
There is not much difference between the town of Liukan at night and the town of Liukan during the day, and the town does not see the sun from September to March.
"I'll have to wait here for days." Anson Deer put his hands in his pockets and looked around at the empty town.
"Well, it's not a good thing to release a copy too early, I don't know what to do." He sighed softly.
Anson Lu put his hands behind his head, exhaled a breath of heat, and walked back to his room.
February 15, Kyoto, Japan.
Yu Mingdao poked his head out of the crowd and looked down at the Kyoto Tower, where two sequence players stood.
Monsters don't appear until night, and players who enter the Kyoto dungeon will first gather at the bottom of the "landmark" - especially sequence players, who need to follow this rule.
The reason why they did this was due to the hard requirement issued by the Evolution Foundation - after entering a co-op challenge dungeon, if the monster was still far away, all players must first gather under the local landmark.
When it comes to the landmark building of Kyoto, Japan, it is, of course, Kyoto Tower.
At this moment, the two sequence players who stopped in the center of Kyoto Tower Square attracted the attention of all players.
The first player in the queue to reach this quest is Lorenzo, the captain of the law enforcement team.
Fuck, the law enforcement team, then this copy is stable.
Although it was very vulgar, this was indeed the first thought in Yu Mingdao's heart.
Although he doesn't like Lorenzo, this man has to say that as the captain of the law enforcement team, and with the world's second-best combat power certified by the system, it is still very reassuring to be a teammate.
At least it's better than those players who are at the bottom of the queue with a few hundred.
Who is the other Sequence player? Yu Mingdao shifted his gaze to Lorenzo's right.
Another sequence player in the Kyoto dungeon appears to be a young girl in a white dress, her hair to her ankles are pure white, and her gestures exude a crisp and simple atmosphere.
Yu Mingdao was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this the girl next to Brother Anson Lu?" โ
He still remembers that in the Hokkaido dungeon, it was Yuri who used a wall of ice to save countless mage players and priest players from the "sword slash" of the demon samurai.
Otherwise, those players will never escape the fate of death.
At this time, Yuri put her hands behind her back, her white dress swaying gently in the cold wind, she turned her head slightly, and looked at the chattering crowd with emotionless eyes.
"Isn't that the man from the Lighthouse of Hell?" Someone next to Yu Mingdao said.
"Yes, it's the 'Snow Walker'." Another said.
"Stay away from her, the old chess player is now a wanted criminal, and his union members are certainly not much better."
"Fortunately, there is more than one sequence player in this dungeon, with Lorenzo here, we can still be saved."
Yu Mingdao listened to the words in his ear and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
On the one hand, it relies on the sequence player, and on the other hand, it is afraid of the sequence player...... These people are really hopeless.
Yu Mingdao lifted his glasses and said, "Everyone, I think there is absolutely a misunderstanding about Moscow, and there is no need for you to make such a conclusion." โ
"The evidence is already conclusive, it was Anson Lu who did it."
"Oh, have you seen the two rounds of videos in Hokkaido and Tokyo, he is the mage who has been following Ansen Lu, called Yu Mingdao."
"No wonder you can help the sequence player speak, can't you lift your head after a long time?"
"Yes, yes, the sequence players are superior to us, but that group of monsters can go berserk at any time, not only Anson Deer, do you think the rumors of Lorenzo are normal before?"
"Don't talk about it, be careful of being targeted by the authorities, many people have been arrested and imprisoned for spreading rumors before."
"What kind of rumor is this, it's the truth, do you have to cover everyone's mouths to be satisfied?"
Seeing that they had no tendency to stop, Yu Mingdao sighed lightly and walked towards Yuri in full view: "Long time no see." โ
Yuri stared at him twice, nodded very softly, snow-white hair fluttering, she remembered this man, but didn't seem to know what to say on such an occasion, so she simply remained silent.
"Before, I was taken care of by Ling and Anson Lu." Yu Mingdao said with a smile.
Yuri still folded his white arms behind his back, just nodding his head in response.
Yu Mingdao was a little helpless, he had long heard that the people in the Hell Lighthouse were out-and-out weirdos, but he didn't expect Yuri to be so difficult to communicate.
"Let's work together on this copy." He said sincerely.
"Okay." Yuri finally responded.
A day later, at noon, Japan, Kyoto, shopping street.
It's raining heavily in the sky, and Yuri has just cleaned up a round of monsters, so he finds a shopping street for lunch.
She perched on the exterior of a sushi restaurant, her dark green eaves shielding her from the rain, and she raised her eyes to look at the gray sky.
The silky rain kept falling, with a gust of wind, blowing the girl's snow-white hair.
After a long pause, Yuri opened the friends panel and stared at the name "Anson Deer".
The status shows that Anson Deer has left the dungeon.
Anson Deer sent her many voice messages, and she listened to each one many times.
Just when he wanted to send something, Anson Lu posted: "Okay, you don't have to reply to my message, you concentrate on playing the copy, and we'll play together when we come back." โ
"Okay." Yuri replied simply.
She was in a daze for a long time, and her slender fingers typed out the font on the chat panel: I miss you......
But in the end, the text was deleted and the panel was closed.
That's what it is...... Miss.
Yuri put her hand on her chin thoughtfully, and then she recorded her new emotions in her little notebook.
There are some words densely recorded on it: happy, sad, missing, lonely, boring......
These were emotions that she hadn't experienced before, but staying by Anson Lu's side, she seemed to find these things little by little.
"I miss it." Yuri leaned outside the store, listening to the sound of the dripping rain, and wrote the words in his notebook with a pen: "I just can't wait to see someone, it's hot... I feel lonely again. โ
After a long time, she closed her notebook and was about to walk into the sushi restaurant when a call came from behind her.
"That ......" is a familiar sound.
Yuri turned his head and looked unemotionally at the man who was running in the rain.
Yu Mingdao's hair and white coat were all wet from the rain, and he took off his foggy glasses, drooped his head, and wiped the lenses with the corners of his clothes.
After wiping the lenses, he put his glasses back on, looked up, and smiled politely at Yuri, and could see that there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and some bruises on his face, not like a monster.
"What's wrong?" Yuri asked.
"I want to ask you something, it's about Anson Deer." Yu Mingdao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"What?"
"Is it really him who killed those players in Moscow?" Yu Mingdao's eyes swirled with a complicated light, and he asked in a sincere tone.
"I can't answer you."
"Please, tell me." Yu Mingdao said hoarsely, "I don't believe that kid, I don't believe that Anson Lu would do such a thing." โ
Yuri put his hand on his chin and said in a cold voice, "... I'm sorry, I can't answer. โ
Anson Deer had instructed her not to reveal anything about him and Lorenzo.
Yuri may not listen to other people's words, but this is Anson Deer, and Yuri only listens to him.
Yu Mingdao opened his mouth, and his eyes behind the lenses were filled with unwilling light, and in the end he just sighed lightly, smiled and said:
"Okay, I see, I'm sorry for offending you."
Yu Rui shook her head slightly, her clear eyes staring at Yu Mingdao's blood-stained coat.
"You're hurt." She said.
"There was a fight with those guys, and they were all saying... Say that Anson Deer is a wanted criminal, a monster out of control, and you will lose control sooner or later, so let me stay away from you. โ
"It's okay, stay away from me." Yuri's voice was emotionless, nor was it hesitant.
"I know what kind of people you and Anson Lu are, he has saved me many times," Yu Mingdao whispered, "and gave me a travel voucher so that I can reunite with my own children." โ
After a pause, he added:
"So I can't understand, why did Anson Deer do this, why did he let others misunderstand him? He's obviously the kindest ...... I've ever met."
In the end, Yu Mingdao's voice became more and more hoarse and excited, he realized his disrespect, and straightened his rain-soaked hair:
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I really want an answer, an answer that I can use to refute those voices."
Yuri was silent for a long time, but only whispered, "You can trust him." โ
"Believe... Is it? Yu Mingdao's expression was a little surprised and puzzled.
"Well, I can't say anything other than that."
"That's enough, thank you." Yu Mingdao had a smile on his face and muttered:
"I knew he wasn't like that...... I knew ......"
Yu Rui glanced at him and walked into the sushi restaurant silently, Yu Mingdao didn't follow up, just left in the rain.
Three days later, at dusk, Japan, Kyoto, Kinkakuji.
The magnificent pavilion that was built during the shogunate period in Japan is now reduced to a veritable ruin of golden fragments, and on the side of the ruins lies a lake called Fujing Lake.
At this moment, the players who entered the dungeon were standing by the lake, staring at a huge object above Fujing Lake.
Yuri looked up, his eyes reflecting the giant, and his snow-white hair fluttered in the wind.
[BOSS Name: Black Star Rubik's Cube]
[Boss HP: 21%]
It was a Rubik's Cube floating in the sky, the shadow almost covering half of the Fujing Lake, its health had bottomed out, but the players around it were almost dead.
There is no doubt that this is the boss battle of this cooperative challenge type dungeon.
The edges, corners, and center blocks of the Rubik's Cube rotate at the same time, and the squares of crimson, dark yellow, dark blue, light green, pure white, and red orange rotate in the air, and the six colors of light splash.
The process of "switching states" in the Rubik's Cube will absorb all damage caused by the player to it and convert it into your own health.
What's even more embarrassing is that if any player leaves the venue of BOOS Battle, the battle will be declared a failure, and all previous sacrifices and efforts will be wasted.
Therefore, the remaining thirty or so players could only stand in place tremblingly, looking at the Rubik's Cube that was switching blocks at great speed.
Even Lorenzo, the most powerful of the players, had to levitate in mid-air with the Ring of Faith, watching the Rubik's Cube with bated breath.
Previously, the Black Star Cube had basically shown all of its attack patterns, and nearly three hundred players had been sacrificed in this battle.
It was the intelligence that was brought by their death and sacrifice.
Eventually, the cube was aimed at the right side of the player group.
"Stay away." Lorenzo's deep voice was heard through the voice channel.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
The cold sound of gear grinding echoed through the air, each one so chilling, as if someone had pointed a revolver at their head, the barrel turned, and the bullets assembled.
"It's white!" Yu Mingdao roared, and he raised his staff to the sky.
In an instant, the pure white squares on the surface of the Rubik's Cube came together to form a magnificent white surface, and the blazing beams of light surged wildly on the surface of the nine grids, forming a magnificent ball of light in an instant.
[Boss Skill: White Group]
[Skill Description: When a complete white demon aspect is pieced together, the skill is immediately released, converging into a ball of light, which will spread into fifty deadly waves of light with a tracking effect in the sky above.] ใ
Lorenzo took a deep breath, his pupils covered with a dark red, and the whites of his eyes were replaced by a deep darkness.
The ring of faith, which originally radiated a golden glow, was replaced by a pitch-black and crimson glow.
"The rain falls on the bell."
Lorenzo rode the Circle of Faith into the air, slamming his palm into the huge black bell that had been generated in front of him, sparing no effort to blast it into the ball of light formed by the Rubik's Cube.
"Wow-"
In an instant, the black bell shattered, turning into a burst of pitch-black rain, and flew backwards towards the sky.
At the same time, the blazing white ball of light burst open, turning into fifty rays of light that resembled a meteor swarm and fell to the ground.
The pitch-black rain caused by the burst of the bell briefly stopped most of the "white meteors", but most of the white swarms still swept past the black rain and pursued the players who were scattered on the ground.
At this moment, Lorenzo's messy long hair was blown up by the wind.
"The world hates me." He spoke.
This move will form a corresponding number of character arms based on the number of players who have died around him, and after being promoted to the second rank, Lorenzo can form up to twenty arms condensed from the emotion of "disgust".
At this moment, the corpses of those players on the ground shattered violently, turning into pitch-black "disgust" characters and converging on Lorenzo in the sky.
Like the Buddha of a Thousand Hands, Lorenzo's back took in the characters, unfurling one dark and deep hideous arm after another, and these twenty emotional arms ended in awe-inspiring claws.
Lorenzo flew into the sky on the Circle of Faith, and at the moment when the black rain was defeated by the white swarm, he relied on the twenty huge black claws to withstand the white streamer that fell violently.
"Drink, ah, ahโโ!!!"
He roared in mid-air, one black and one white, like two giant beasts from ancient times fighting to the death, constantly colliding and biting.
Lorenzo knew very well in his heart that the [White Group] released by the Black Star Cube had a tracking effect and would never disappear before hitting the target.
If he doesn't block the beams as much as he can, the players on the ground will be dead, or even boneless.
But Lorenzo was not a god after all, and as for the white beams of light that he could not stop, they were now falling towards the earth with an unstoppable trend.
The first to bear the brunt is Yuri, who is at the forefront.
She raced above the lake on the ice, her snow-white skirt and strands of hair fluttering in the air.
The streamer behind her kept approaching, not giving her a chance to breathe, like a white snow wolf with only food in his eyes.
Yuri raised his slender arm, creating walls of ice and thousands of ice picks to stop the pursuit of more than a dozen white streamers.
"Bang!" The ice surface is broken.
"Bang!" Ice picks shatter.
The rest of the surviving ordinary players had already run away with a roar, and had no idea of sharing the pressure with Lorenzo and Yuri.
And so on...... It won't take long for my mana to run out.
Yuri made a judgment in his mind.
She looked up at Lorenzo, the only person who could possibly help her.
But Lorenzo was struggling to resist nearly dozens of streamers, almost risking his own life without retreating, and each of his pitch-black arms was cracked, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Yuri retracted his gaze, and with the sound of the ice wall being pierced, the streamer behind him drew closer and closer.
Her ears were almost deafened by the furious sound.
At the moment when the world fell silent, only a figure passed by Yuri's side, rushing in the opposite direction towards the beam of light that was in hot pursuit.
Yuri's pupils contracted slightly, she turned over her snow-white cheeks, her hair blowing up completely, and she looked at the figure in surprise.
It's Yu Mingdao.
More than a dozen white beams of light searched for a closer target, rushing towards Yu Mingdao like a python, and rushed up.
"Poofโ"
Yu Mingdao stretched out his arms, and the blood in his body was squeezed dry by more than ten streamers in an instant, and the blood poured out like a waterfall.
His torn body fell to the ground like a shriveled balloon that had been released.
Yu Rui stopped his steps, the ice under his feet shattered, and she approached Yu Mingdao in two or three steps, the other party's health had bottomed out, and it seemed that there was no room for recovery.
"Say a word to that stinky boy for me......" Yu Mingdao moved his pale lips, his voice hoarse and muddy, "I don't owe him that travel roll." โ
"And ......," the light in the depths of his eyes gradually dimmed, "if you can, please ask him to take care of my child." โ
Yu Rui stared blankly at Yu Mingdao closing his upper eyelids in front of her eyes, his charred and shriveled body collapsing into a blood mist, gradually dissolving into the land by the lake.
Dead.
A long dead silence.
All the sounds around me seemed to be drowned out by messy thoughts.
โโฆโฆ Why? โ
She wanted to ask, but no one was going to answer her.
She didn't know why this person would give his life to save her, obviously they shouldn't know each other.
Yuri's eyes were obscured by the strands of snow-white hair, and she raised her head, stretched out the five fingers of her right hand towards the Rubik's Cube in the sky, and slowly clenched it.
A meteorite made of thousands of feet of ice broke through the sky, through the clouds, through everything in the world, and let out the dullest roar at the world.
It resembles an alien wolf, and as it pierces through the atmosphere, it sounds like a funeral song, mixed with a requiem of rage and sorrow.
Eventually, the meteorite of snow and ice crashed down on the surface of the Rubik's Cube, and with an irresistible impact, it crashed into the lake.
"Boom โโ!!!"
The surface of the lake burst open, and the meteorite burst open at the same moment, turning into thousands of ice chips, blending with the torrent that splashed out like a flood.
Lorenzo descended from the sky with twenty mutilated black arms, roaring and slashing at the Rubik's Cube that had fallen to the bottom of the lake, tearing it apart in just a few breaths.
Soon, Lorenzo, covered in blood, returned from the bottom of the lake in triumph, and walked towards them trembling like a general in the twilight of his life, shedding blood all over the place.
He raised his mutilated right arm and looked firmly at those who had survived.
"We won." Lorenzo said.
All the players who survived raised their arms in cheer, and their roars were deafening.
Only Yuri stood in place at a loss, her thin snow-white shoulders trembling slightly.
Through the strands of snow-white hair, the eyes that never revealed fear and sadness stared blankly at the pool of blood on the ground.
Half an hour later, Yuri, Lorenzo, and the thirty surviving players left the Kyoto dungeon.
"Coming back? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Anson Lu leaned against the cabin, his hands in his pockets, and his brown eyes looked at her with a smile.
Yuri lowered his head, his body shivering in the cold wind, and his snow-white hair was tossed by the wind.
"Hmm...... What's wrong? Anson Deer realized something, raised an eyebrow, and walked towards her in three steps and two steps.
Yuri's white fingers trembled slightly, her left hand holding her right hand, and her clear eyes were shining.
Anson Deer was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen Yuri with uneasiness and fear in his eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" His voice was two points softer.
The Icelandic girl in front of her was like a kitten that had done something wrong, she didn't dare to raise her head, she couldn't say a word, her snow-white hair and body were trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of cold or fear.
"I'm here." Anson Deer looked down at her and whispered.
"You're ......"
"Well, I'm there for you." Anson Deer exhaled a hot breath.
He was about to take her hand when Yuri lowered his head and leaned gently against his chest.
Anson Lu was stunned for a long time, feeling the cold touch from her chest, and the Icelandic girl buried her snow-white little face even deeper.
He stretched out his arm and hugged her gently, as carefully as if he were hugging a thin, fragile piece of glass.
In the wind and snow, the two hugged each other in an empty town.
"Don't go...... her voice was so tired that it was about to be covered by the snow.
"I'm still here." Anson Lu exhaled a hot breath and hugged her two more points.
"That's it, okay?" Yuri hugged his ears, his head still resting against Anson Deer's chest, "I don't want to ...... I don't want to think about anything......"
"Okay, that's it first, it's all going to be fine, it's okay if you don't say it now."
The two of them were silent in the wind and snow, the dim blue enveloped the earth, and the setting sun slowly fell below the horizon, taking away the last ray of light.
After a long time, Anson Deer let go of her slender shoulders and said in a gentle voice:
"Let's go back."
"Go home ......"
"yes, home."
โโฆโฆ Well. โ
Anson Deer took her hand and took her cold fingers in the palm of her hand, and the two of them walked in Norway at dusk, the night slowly covering their backs.
