324. San Francisco (toll-free)
"It's cloudy with light rain today."
"Are you okay with the old neighborhood of San Francisco?"
"It's been a few days since the last large-scale attack, and in recent days there has been new information about the compensation policy for homes that have resulted from the attack."
On continuous telecommunication poles, the broadcast signal is intermittent.
No one in the old neighborhood paid attention to the content of the broadcast, and the devil knows what kind of compensation measures were for the pit people.
"Ms. Tiger's Eye, prepare to demolish the old neighborhood within a week."
"All compensation policies, by ......"
Syllable......
The wire sparked, it was a bullet that hit the circuit board, the mercenary held a smoking muzzle, fired at a car, the fire from the muzzle illuminated half of his face, the moment he emptied the magazine, in the dark alley behind him, a sharp knife cut the mercenary's throat, blood was sprinkled on the wall, the warm breath had not cooled down, two fragment grenades blew up the cramped alleyway, and the broken bricks buried the blood and fallen mercenary.
The gunfire in the neighborhood continues, and what started as a mafia shootout has now grown into friction between players from all walks of life.
The group of players will not be idle, they will not only do it themselves, but also mercenaries will join the conflict, and the old neighborhood, with the tacit consent of the tiger's eye, has become a stage for the special pillar players.
The old streets are littered with haphazard telephone poles and unlit alleys.
The people who live here are basically struggling on the "survival line".
Just living is separated from a main road in the old street.
One side of heaven and the other side of hell.
Players can only wander in hell, because the sense of revenge left by Chabai [Focuser] is in the old street, and most of this group of players can only wander around the old street with inexplicable hatred.
Black hawks streaked across the sky, looking down on the city.
On a bench in an unknown park, a man holds a can of beer, sits on the bench and cranes his neck to drink it clean.
In the grass behind him lay four dead passers-by, stripped of their possessions, including a cell phone.
Endless Corridor, Player, Hidden Marant.
A dark shadow descended on his shoulder, Hartman and Hawkeye made eye contact, and images of the cityscape were instantly introduced into his mind, while a small number of red spots were scattered around the city.
He rubbed his head, looking a little painful, and after recovering his senses, he threw his phone on the lawn, turned his head and said, "Get up." β
On another bench five meters apart, a man in a bear-patterned pajamas slowly got up with sleepy eyes and yawned with the strength to feed.
"Found it?"
"Well, there are fifty-six players in San Francisco, and there are forty in the old neighborhoods alone."
Zangmaran nodded his mouth.
"However, there is no one who makes us have a strong murderous intent."
The man in the bear pajamas was called Wang Yuan, and he was just curious after hearing it: "What kind of skill or prop is it...... It was able to make almost all the players in the tournament run over......"
The two are reinforcements for a certain team.
The team of the trio was drawn into a mafia feud less than half an hour after entering San Francisco, and one of his teammates died in a sneak attack by a killer.
The two of them had no intention of revenge.
Even though the killer was just a little girl, they knew very well that the little girl could be the legendary top killer in a side quest.
Ah, right...... It's a butterfly.
Butterfly was arranged by Marjie to make trouble everywhere, as for Ma Ge's current situation...... Not good anyway.
Back to this.
Zangmarant's ability is the Eagle Eye in Assassin's Creed, which can connect with the Eagle Eye and target all targets with enemy potential in a large area, giving them location.
"The most chaotic place in the city right now is the north side of the old street."
His mind was imprinted with images of eagle observations.
A large fortress is fighting the player, and the person in the fortress is also a player.
"There are creatures similar to the 'Shadow Elders' gathered around there, and there is a man with a writing wheel, the key question is ......"
"The Cloister of the End."
The man who wrote the wheel eye is the player of the "Final Corridor", and except for him, the rest of the people of the Final Yan have no whereabouts.
"The end? Ha, I've fought it, it's really powerful, and if it's not powerful, it's a suicide bomb. Wang Yuan recalled a scene from a certain script in his mind: "Until now, I don't know which game world the people of the 'Final Corridor' are from. β
"Do you want to play with the people of the 'End'?" Zangmarant said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"I mean, if you help the 'end-of-the-road', you might be able to get good stuff."
"Okay."
Zangmarant stood up, moved his neck, put the black eagle into the air again, and said, "By the way, let's take a detour, and there are a few particularly powerful ones at the entrance of the old block." β
The Black Hawk's line of sight marks the strength of the target.
Skull emblems appear on characters that cannot be dealt with.
Wang Yuan asked, "The skull you are referring to, is it an aboriginal or a player?" β
"It's all players." Zangmarant laughed, a little bitter: "Didn't the system say that someone triggered the endgame of the tournament in advance, it is estimated that the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have all come in." β
Wang Yuan snapped his fingers, and in the grass behind them, the four dead men lying on the ground stood up.
Wobbly and unfocused, like a walking corpse.
The black eagle in Zangmarant's hand flapped its wings and took off again, this time very low.
Step by step, the four walking dead left the place.
"Since there are oversized players here, let's let them explore the path first."
As they spoke, both of them stared at the panel in front of them.
γFinal Venue of the Players Tournament: San Francisco's Old Neighborhoodγ
[According to the completion degree of the career line, the ten groups with the lowest completion will be eliminated]
[The standard will be approved in fifteen minutes, and after the unqualified team receives the prompt, please try not to stay in the old neighborhood to make trouble]
[A total of 28 teams participated in this competition]
[Twenty remaining teams]
"Hear me, there's only twenty left."
"Well, I guess someone made a move in advance, or that group of guys didn't hold back their own fighting......"
[Nineteen teams remaining]
"Hey, there's less ......"
[Eighteen remaining teams]
"Huh?"
[Seventeen teams remaining]
"What's the situation?"
"Everyone blew themselves up together?"
The two looked at each other, and they had a bad premonition.
Five minutes later.
[Sixteen remaining teams]
The panel jumps out again.
"I suddenly want to make it stop......"
Wang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.
"Tibetan Marant...... Do you know what that means? β
"I don't know."
Tibetan Marant immediately connected to Hawkeye.
This......
Ten minutes passed.
Wang Yuan let out a sigh: "Finally stopped......"
His heart raced with shock.
What is it.
Either there are extremely strong aborigines who are enraged, but Wang Yuan has such a thing as [Hidden Boss Code], and he knows that there is nothing in the world that can become a hidden boss.
Either......
Players with a certain team......
"Wang Yuan."
Zangmarant's eyes twitched.
"Let's quit."
"What do you see?"
The flying eagle, which was shared with the Tibetan Marant vision, saw the shadow of a man in the air.
Blond.
Armor robes.
Flange greatsword.
At the intersection of the old neighborhood, the asphalt road was destroyed and turned up, and the water under the ground was rushing to the sky.
Eagle Eye stared at the man, analyzing the strength of his data.
[Falgar Croyd: Lv. 64]
[Strength: 199]
[reaction: 291]
[Spiritual Power: 170]
[Constitution: 200]
[Insight: 294]
[Medical: 306]
[Tip from Black Hawk: Run]
Chloyd raised his head, his golden head covered in blood, and he stared at the flying eagle soaring in the air, the moment when he met the eagle eye.
The eyes are introverted, but sharp as a knife.
Bang!
One of Zangmarant's eyes shattered into flesh!
Wang Yuan was surprised and immediately took out the blood medicine.
The eagle was connected to Tibetan Marant's sensory system, and if the eagle "died", one of his eyes would immediately explode.
The blood medicine was injected into Zangmarant's body, and he said: "Run, even if you are punished by the system, you have to run, fast!" β
The two jumped out of the hedge.
Wang Yuan asked anxiously, "What did you see?" β
Zangmarant covered his eyes that were still bleeding, and grinded his teeth in fear: "A player...... Also, the corpse-like players around him......"
β¦β¦
"Fish that slipped through the net."
Chloyd looked in the direction of Tibetan Marant and Wang Yuan's departure.
He held the sword in his right hand, the blade stained red with blood.
On the tarmac, which had been destroyed and could not be stopped, patches of blood and flesh infected.
Then, Chloyd retracted the last of the [Decoy Skull] into the backpack compartment, and the players who were attracted by the skull have become corpses at this crossroads.
He stood in the middle of the crossroads, the sky and the earth were vast, he was like dust in the wind, and the corpses around him seemed to be the only anchor point in the wilderness.
[Killed all members of the "What about Inflation" squad]
[Experience Gained: 20000]
[Gold Earned: 20000]
[Critical Advanced: Survive Danger and Be Reborn in Nirvana]
[Current Progress: 55%]
"So many people...... It's only 2% higher than the advanced level......"
Chloyd let out a cloudy breath of disappointment.
He looked at the only man standing on the other side.
"It's up to you, Roy."
The player, named Roy, is a middle-aged white man with a beard, a round waist, and a wood-chopping axe.
Roy glanced at the corpses: "Deliberately use [Tempting Enemy Skull] to attract players to come, frame a circle for yourself, set a difficulty, and then kill the players one by one under unfavorable conditions, Chloyd, you are a madman." β
"How many of the people who can come here are not crazy?"
"Haha, hahahahaha!" Roy laughed and raised his jaw: "Let's talk about it, it's you who messed up the script like this?" β
Chloyd looked up at the sky: "No...... The guy who makes the script like this is the real madman, and that madman may be in some plane in the sky right now. β
Roy: "Sounds like your ultimate goal is to kill that madman?" β
Chloyd: "Yes, the cause and effect I planted. β
He got one thing wrong, and it was a fake Dragon Ball that planted cause and effect, and it had nothing to do with him.
And Roy, the man, is the same player as Chloyd.
Very strong in strength.
"You're fighting with me, and you're not going to use your dominant hand?"
"It's over too soon, it's boring."
"Okay, then I'll have to avenge my teammates." Roy smiled and walked past his teammate's corpse, he was just a step too late: "[Borderliner], my death will also take a piece of flesh from you." β
Chloyd just nodded.
"yes, okay."
That's when it happened.
Chloyd suddenly raised his hand: "Wait a minute. β
A cloud of smoke appeared in front of his eyes.
The mist forms a graceful figure, a projection made of smoke by Isabella.
"You're good enough to get into San Francisco."
"Well, after all, the final stage of the tournament has begun, and the restrictions have been lifted."
As Chloyd spoke, he bowed slightly in Roy's direction, "I'm sorry."
Roy didn't take advantage of his unpreparedness either, just picked up some rags or paper shells from the ground and put them on top of his dead teammates.
Isabella could see the scene.
"I've done a simple 'refining array' in the old neighborhood, and you want to find a way to help me get Marjie, I can't spare time."
"Well, I asked Xing Kai to come over in advance."
Isabella was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What about Sawaguchi (the blind girl)?" β
Chloyd: "She's going to grab the 'fitting earrings.'" β
β¦β¦
San Francisco, downtown China.
Hotel Lisketner.
Ten floors.
Room 1002.
Adam, who was sitting in the room, watched the notifications of the player's killing pop up on the panel, his teeth grinding.
"Fuck Li Nuo, it's ruthless enough......"
He thought it was a good thing that Li Nuo had done.
"Lenovo?"
The man sitting across from him asked, confused.
"Nothing, continue our deal." Adam Ireland laughed and said, "The thing about the exchange of goods......"
The man sitting across from him was Dominic, an underground arms dealer and a warmonger who worked with the state.
Synopsis: The fitting earrings are in Dominic's hand.
"That thing, in exchange for earrings that a kid bought at will...... Are you crazy? β
Dominic looked at a drawing of an "intelligent electronic brain" on the table and touched the stubble on his chin with embarrassment.
"Or are the earrings ......?"
"What do you think is the probability that this electronic brain will be made?" Adam interrupted him, laughing, "Think about it. β
"Heh......" Dominic also smiled: "I don't know." β
He was a businessman, and what he said was never true, and the things that were written in the drawings that Adam took out could make another war fortune for Dominic.
"I also got it by accident, and I don't think I can trade it for money." Adam paused: "But in exchange for the future." β
"Future?"
"Yes, your future."
"No, sir." Dominic shook his head: "Why do you want that earring, it's ......"
"To or not to?" Adam asked, knowing very well that the man on the other side was interested in the drawings, but he didn't say anything.
Adam Ireland, don't look frizzy, but he majored in psychology when he went to school.
The only person who has made him unable to use psychology textbook knowledge over the years is the damn witcher, but in addition, as long as a normal person, every bit of psychological fluctuations can't escape his eyes that can make movies.
Dominic was silent, and then suddenly said, "Sir...... I mean, you're good-looking. β
"Huh?"
Adam was stunned.
"You, understood?"
Dominic approached.
Adam took a voice recorder out of his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"You, understood?"
He asked rhetorically.
This time Dominic was instigated, he thought that he would not lose anyway, so he simply took out his wallet.
If it weren't for the large group of guards here, Adam would have robbed it a long time ago, and it was too troublesome to use his brain, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what that damn bastard (Li Nuo) had gone through to develop such a dirty brain.
Dominic's large hand clapped on the drawing, and after the palm left, a blue drop earring was left on top of the drawing.
Adam picked up the earrings.
γReplica Potara Earrings (One Side)γ
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: When two things with similar strength merge, the degree of increase in combat power should be based on the degree of compatibility]
[Brief description: Also known as Batra earrings, it is an exclusive treasure handed down from generation to generation by the king god of the world, and its function is that two people are used to combine into a very powerful warrior. The above instructions are only for the genuine version, this thing is piracy, it can only be used once, and the direction of growth may be different from what you imagined, just ...... In any case, it is also an "epic" item, and it is an important thing that can change the direction of the ending]
[Note: There is another earring, you should consider the fit when wearing, if you use it in the wrong way, it will not work]
Adam took out his phone, took a picture of the earrings, and passed the photo along with the message to the numbers of Leno and Marger.
Even if you don't pass it on, through the prompts on the task panel, in fact, Li Nuo's side can know it.
"These are fitting earrings......"
Adam pursed his lips.
If it weren't for the fact that the task of his career line was over, he would definitely be eliminated, otherwise, he would have to try the opportunity to fit in with others.
At this moment, Ni Yuexing pushed open the door of the house and broke in.
"Adam, the probe machine from Marger detected that you have a strange energy ...... here."
The words were not finished.
Ni Yuexing paused, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Adam turned his head to look at her.
Dominic also looked at her.
The blind girl, who had been standing next to her, holding an umbrella and covering Adam and Dominic, also looked at her.
The windows of the apartment were wide open, but no one noticed when they were opened.
"I just arrived, too, and I didn't say hello, so I'm sorry, guys."
Sawaguchi said with a smile.
"That's right, I put two players nearby, and they've been keeping an eye on you......"
Before the words fell, Adam suddenly pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist, and Ni Yuexing on the other side also took out the bazooka directly from the backpack compartment.
This floor was filled with smoke in an instant.
Behind the rubble and smoke, the blind girl stood behind a paper umbrella that resisted the shelling, and she asked in a flat and humble tone:
"Do you give me the earrings yourself, or do I get them?"
β¦β¦
[Hidden Mission Updated: World Peace]
[Mission Details: Go to San Francisco, the earrings have changed hands]
Leno looked at the message from Adam on the phone screen.
"I've got the earrings."
At this time, a new message popped up:
"A blind woman has come to snatch earrings."
He put away his phone.
A new task update pops up.
[The final battle has begun, and your plane has come to the vicinity of San Francisco, please enter the old neighborhood of San Francisco as soon as possible]
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
ps: (Toss for a day, get home too late, can't finish writing, so it's free, and it should be used as an apology for too many trivial things during this time)
