Chapter 20: Destruction is New Life (Seek to Follow!) )
In the night, the shadows of the three people were stretched by the street lamps.
"Chu Tiankuo, what are you doing?!"
Lingmao, who was still struggling with the plot clues, didn't expect that after chatting well, Chu Tiankuo would suddenly pull out a gun and point at Gu Chi.
Her eyes widened and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Until this time, Chu Tiankuo still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Surprised?"
"That's right, after all, you're still a newcomer, so it's normal that you can't understand it." Chu Tiankuo smiled and said, "This time, I will teach you a lesson." ”
The gun in his hand was not given by a copy, and the muzzle alone was more than a circle.
Gu Chi glanced at it and then looked away, as if it was not himself who was being pointed at the gun.
He looked at Chu Tiankuo and asked, "Are you here for the reward?" ”
"Yes." Chu Tiankuo generously admitted that there was no need to hide it at this time, and there was helplessness in his tone that he didn't know whether it was true or false, "No way, who made the rewards of S-level dungeons so rich?" ”
The Pure Land game never has a true team mode, even if everyone has the same mission.
Because the rewards for dungeons are settled based on the final evaluation, there are two key factors that determine the final evaluation.
Whether or not to clear the dungeon, and how many teammates survived while clearing the dungeon.
To put it bluntly, in team mode, the more teammates die, the higher the rating of the rest of the people after clearing the dungeon.
This was meant to be a bonus mechanic to encourage players who turned the tide, but it wasn't something that could be taken advantage of.
If you want to grow faster than others, you naturally have to use some means.
For example, killing gun ash and aspen.
At first, Chu Tiankuo didn't really want to make a move on the gun ash so quickly.
Counting Gu Chi, there are a total of four veteran players in this game, and it is difficult for him to have a chance of winning one-on-three.
Therefore, Chu Tiankuo chose to try to persuade the gun ash to unite with him, dispose of the poplar first, and then deal with Gu Chi and the others who did not die in the plot after he came back.
Chu Tiankuo could see that the gun ash didn't like these three newcomers very much.
The reason is nothing more than the fear that they will drag their feet, and in essence, it is also for rewards, and they should not refuse.
But the result was completely different.
Gun Ash not only refused his invitation to cooperate, but also directly moved on him.
The man who looked extremely indifferent, the bottom line was unexpectedly solid.
Poplar learns of the situation and immediately joins the fray and joins forces with Gun Ash to kill him.
Fortunately, he left a hand in advance, controlled the shadow of the gun ash and the poplar in advance, and manipulated the shadow to launch a sneak attack at the last moment, barely outnumbering the two.
It was a bit thrilling, but it was a win.
As long as Gu Chi and Lingmao are eliminated again, he can become the biggest winner of this dungeon.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to beat us yourself?" Gu Chi asked.
Chu Tiankuo tilted the gun in his hand, so that the delicate silver pattern on the gun body faced the light: "This gun is gun ash, you can't carry it." ”
Gu Chi didn't doubt this, with his small body of 6 physique, and no equipment, let alone a gun specializing in firearms players, he couldn't resist an ordinary small pistol......
But the question is-
"Can you hit me?"
It's more or less provocative.
Chu Tiankuo smiled: "I'll give it a try." ”
With that, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Tongues of fire burst out at the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet passed through Gu Chi's body at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, hitting the brick wall behind him.
Shot up.
Looking at Gu Chi again, he had disappeared in place.
Chu Tiankuo was not surprised by this, he was testing Gu Chi, it was best to end the battle with one shot, and it didn't matter if he didn't hit.
He didn't even care where Gu Chi was, and directly turned the gun and aimed it at the bell cat.
The lenses on the bridge of the nose reflected the girl's panicked appearance, and the rich game experience made it easy for Chu Tiankuo to judge that the charm value of the bell cat was at least 7 points or more.
Chu Tiankuo must admit this, Lingmao is a very cute girl.
Especially her panicked action of pulling out the gun, lined with the scared expression on her face, will make people involuntarily give birth to a desire to protect.
So Chu Tiankuo fired a second shot.
"Bang!"
The bell cat's body stiffened, her pupils dilated, and blood overflowed from the corners of her slightly open mouth.
She looked down wistfully, and saw a fist-sized hole in her chest.
Blood was staining the hem of her garment.
It's a pity, such a good-looking girl...... Chu Tiankuo felt a little regretful, he thought that Gu Chi would come over to help block it, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a master who didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
"Your injuries seem to be a bit severe?" Gu Chi's voice sounded behind Chu Tiankuo.
"It's a little, but it's enough to kill you." As he spoke, Chu Tiankuo's body was slightly sideways, and his left arm was raised, easily blocking the dagger stabbed from behind.
Gu Chi disappeared again.
"Boom."
The bellcat collapsed in a pool of blood.
The whole street was left with only Chu Tiankuo standing alone at the moment, looking empty and lonely.
"Think I won't be able to find you then?"
Chu Tiankuo smiled and closed his eyes.
At this moment, his hearing had risen to an extremely sharp level, and he could even hear the subtle sound of air currents in the air clearly.
Chu Tiankuo tilted his head, as if he felt something, and when he opened his eyes, he had already raised his gun to the right and pulled the trigger for the third time.
"Bang!"
A mist of blood spreads in the night.
Gu Chi, who was moving at high speed and had a completely transparent body, was directly shot out of his original form by this shot.
He stumbled to the ground, clutching his left shoulder, red blood spilling from his fingers.
"The ability of stealth is good, but the assassination skills are poor." Chu Tiankuo walked towards Gu Chi step by step, and the shadow stretched by the light under his feet unexpectedly broke away from the ground with his steps, wrapping around Gu Chi's body like black tape, imprisoning Gu Chi in place.
No matter how hard you try, you can't break free, and even the shadow is getting tighter and tighter.
This was the same as Chu Tiankuo expected, Gu Chi did not have too many means of self-defense.
Gu Chi also has a more intuitive understanding of the power of old players at this moment.
Seeing that he stopped struggling, Chu Tiankuo smiled and asked, "Give up?" ”
Gu Chi raised his eyes: "Do you think I will only assassinate a little?" ”
"No, I never thought you were only going to assassinate." Chu Tiankuo shook his head and said, "Your main attribute is spirit, right?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to temporarily control other people's minds, change their thoughts, and even implant or erase some of the accused's memories......"
Only in this way can we explain why the police's attitude towards them suddenly changed when they were arrested in the bureau on the first day, and they were not pursued afterwards.
Not only that, Gu Chi can also find out the news from those police officers who don't eat oil and salt, as if he is really familiar with the local police, but is that possible?
Gu Chi obviously used the player's ability.
It is not clear what specific ability Chu Tiankuo has, but it is definitely related to the spirit.
And players who are good at mental attacks usually don't have high combat effectiveness at the physical level, and Gu Chi's two hands just now also proved this very well, so Chu Tiankuo would refuse to heal himself.
He believed that even if he was injured, Gu Chi was still not his opponent, but if Lingmao saw that his injury came from the player, it would be the real trouble.
After all, he still needs to proofread the clues and logic with Gu Chi, what if the plots experienced by the two teams are different, and the clues on both sides must be strung together to clear the level?
The most important thing is to make sure that you can clear the dungeon, otherwise there is no point in killing all your teammates.
It was not the first time that Chu Tiankuo had done this, and in this regard, no one had a clearer mind than him.
"From the moment I took out my gun, I have been on the lookout for your psychic attacks." Chu Tiankuo paused and said, "Including when I fought with you just now." ”
The strongest point of spiritual skills is to be taken by surprise, and it can be said that it is accurate to deal with unsuspects, but once others are prepared in advance, the effect will become very limited.
What's more, his mental attribute is not low, a full 7 points, and he is also above average among all players.
This is also one of the reasons why Chu Tiankuo is so confident.
He already knew what Gu Chi was good at, so it was impossible for him to fall into Gu Chi's spiritual trap.
"Really?"
Gu Chi tilted his head: "Then where are you now?" ”
The voice fell.
"Buzz!"
Before Chu Tiankuo could respond, the picture in front of him suddenly shattered, like a broken mirror, the streets, street lamps, garbage cans, men and bell cats lying in a pool of blood, and the rich night, all the scenes were torn apart at this moment, like a time that flew by, unable to be grasped or recovered.
Chu Tiankuo opened his eyes suddenly.
I don't know when the gun ash arrived in Gu Chi's hand, and at this moment, Gu Chi was holding the gun and pointing it at his forehead.
For the first time, a confident smile disappeared on Chu Tiankuo's face, replaced by a deep shock and incomprehension.
He didn't understand, when did he get the trick?
Gu Chi didn't give him a chance to ask questions.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Bang!
[Player Chu Tiankuo died, the mission failed, the number of remaining players: 2]
Chu Tiankuo died.
The gun ash is very powerful, causing Chu Tiankuo's death to not look good.
The head is gone.
But the bell cat didn't pity Chu Tiankuo at all, she still had an angry expression on her face.
Although she didn't participate in the dream just now, she didn't know what was going on, but she heard all the "dream words" that Chu Tiankuo said.
This guy, who looks like Svenwen, didn't expect to be so black-bellied, and he planned to kill everyone, and he was completely self-inflicted with this fate.
Well deserved, huh!
But then again......
"Gu Yuan, how do you know that Chu Tiankuo wants to kill us?" Bell Cat asked.
"He's got wounds." Gu Chi said, "And you didn't." ”
Lingmao's hand was once cut by the hands of the yellow dial when reversing time, and it was restored after returning, which shows that going back in time can heal the player's injuries, and Chu Tiankuo can only be injured after returning to Shiwei City.
Gu Chi didn't think that in this ordinary era, there was no aboriginal who could hurt Chu Tiankuo, only Poplar and Gun Ash, who were also veteran players, had this ability.
No matter why the three of them are fighting, there is always a problem on one side.
As for the question of who......
Gu Chi didn't bother to guess, anyway, it wouldn't be wrong to control people first.
That's why he took out his gun coldly, directly put down the poisoner, and hypnotized Chu Tiankuo at the moment when he was stunned.
Yes, from that moment on, Chu Tiankuo was pulled into a dream that had been constructed a long time ago.
Hypnosis + Dream Building = Illusion.
For the sake of this dream, Gu Chi didn't do anything on the first night, and spent all his time on memorizing scenes.
The bell cat thinks he is touching the fish, but in fact, he is preparing for a dream.
Under the structure of infinitely close to reality and extremely detailed, the dream that Gu Chi finally built was almost indistinguishable from reality.
Chu Tiankuo likes to push his glasses, and he uses his index finger, such a person is often more thoughtful, his observation is also very strong, and he is also an old player, Gu Chi has to make more preparations, so as not to be recognized in the dream.
Before, what Gu Chi said there was that he hoped that Chu Tiankuo would be fine, and he was also acting for Chu Tiankuo, he had already sensed that Chu Tiankuo was coming, so he deliberately released a signal of goodwill, otherwise how could he lower Chu Tiankuo's vigilance?
"I see!" Lingmao understood this time, and his eyes couldn't help but shine when he looked at Gu Chi.
This man is really smart!
Gu Chi glanced at the girl and said, "If you shot me just now, the rewards for this copy might be all yours." ”
"How is it possible, I won't kill you if I kill anyone!" Suzume said, she hadn't even thought about it.
"Why can't you kill me?" Gu Chi asked.
"Because I ......" Lingmao said halfway through, suddenly stopped, don't turn his head and didn't look at Gu Chi, and whispered: "Anyway, you can't kill." ”
"And what if I'm going to kill you?"
Bell Cat: "??? ”
This sentence directly stunned the girl, she turned her head and looked at Gu Chi.
Those dark eyes were frighteningly calm, deeper than night.
The barrel of his gun was thick and long.
Suzuki realizes that the man doesn't seem to be joking with her......
So, she played a set of combos at a very fast speed that even Gu Chi had never thought of-
The bell cat squatted down, held his head with both hands, shrunk his whole body into a ball, turned his back, and trembled: "Then you, you lighter, I'm afraid of pain." ”
Gu Chi: "......"
Don't you symbolically resist or ask why?
Never mind...... It's good to be stupid, after all, stupid people are stupid.
Gu Chi stopped teasing her, put away the gun and said, "Get up, go back to the hotel." ”
Lingmao didn't dare to move: "You, aren't you trying to kill me?" ”
Gu Chi: "Suddenly I don't want to kill again." ”
The girl said: "It's okay Gu Yuan, I thought it clearly when I heard Chu Tiankuo say that just now, you are taking me along the way, without you I can't hold on today, maybe I will be bitten to death by zombies the next day......"
"Really, being able to live in an S book for so long has exceeded my initial expectations, and I'm already very satisfied, so ...... Kill if you want, I'm not going to run! ”
After speaking, Lingmao closed her eyes tightly and waited for Gu Chi's spear to come.
Gu Chi looked at the girl's cowardly and brave back, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Originally, he just wanted to tease the bell cat, but he didn't expect to trick out a nirvana.
The bell cat was indeed on his to-do list at first.
Compared to veteran players, it is significantly easier to deal with newcomers.
But now that his mission rewards are full, there is no need to kill Bellcat again.
This is also the reason why Gu Chi would specifically thank Chu Tiankuo when he made a move.
He meant it.
If Chu Tiankuo hadn't killed the poplars and gun ashes, the copy wouldn't have been over for a while.
In addition, Chu Tiankuo also gave him a gun.
Guns with Gun Ash are the player's own items and can be taken out of quests.
Two task progresses plus one prop, don't say thank you, Gu Chi was a little reluctant in his heart.
A moment later.
Seeing that there had been no movement behind him, the bell cat couldn't help but open one eye and look back cautiously.
Only to find that Gu Chi had walked out more than ten meters.
Ling Mao was stunned, and shouted at Gu Chi's back, "You really don't kill me?" ”
Gu Chi's footsteps didn't stop: "The police should arrive in a few minutes, if you want to spend the night in the bureau, you can continue to squat there." ”
Oh, and the police!
Suzuki quickly stood up and went after Gu Chi.
"Take the plastic bag."
"Oooh!"
……
Return to the hotel.
It's still 401.
After the mystery was solved, the special tasks were full, and Gu Chi's whole person was a lot easier.
"Can we sleep tonight?" Bell Cat asked.
"Yes." Gu Chi nodded and said, "Ten years later, the 'eye' will just grow. ”
"Then I'm going to take a shower!" Bellcat happily ran into the bedroom.
Gu Chi didn't stay in the living room for long, and went back to the room directly.
Have a good rest tonight, find the "eye" tomorrow, and ask about the disaster to clear the customs - Gu Chi thought so.
But things turned out a little bit more than he expected.
Whoever the prophet wants to see, no one needs to look for him.
After the two fell asleep, the hands of the bell tower spun again at an accelerated pace.
The sky outside the window was bright and dark, dark and bright, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, sometimes snowy and sometimes rainy, like a slideshow that was speeding up, and twenty years passed in a flash.
In his sleep, Gu Chi saw a snow-white light, which was a little dazzling.
There was a figure in the light.
He squinted his eyes and tried to see clearly, but the figure disappeared again.
Only a line of fluttering golden handwriting remains.
[Don't be afraid of disaster, destruction is new life]
Don't be afraid of disaster...... Meaning, will disaster really befall the morning star again?
Without waiting for Gu Chi to think about it, a flame ignited on the handwriting, turning into ashes and drifting away in the wind.
There is a system chime next to my ear.
